Sephy may not know who she is or where she comes from, but she does know she doesn't like a certain hologram. Which is fine, because he doesn't like her either. The two just have nothing in common.
Or do they?
Guys, somebody did a Red Dwarf/Thunderbirds vid, and now frankly I would remortgage my house to make this crossover a reality.
Guys I'm bored and wanna talk about my OC, literally ask me anything and I'll answer it.
Guys, I'm just imagining being the only girl on Red Dwarf and frankly, I think it'd be an absolute nightmare.
Imagine it, testosterone all over the place. Like, he'd settle down eventually but for the first week you'd have to put up with Lister constantly reminding you that you *are* the only living woman left in the universe technically. He'd stop eventually and actually be a really good friend, except very occasionally if he got too drunk, but he'd never actually try anything.
And then there's Kryten seeing absolutely no issue with doing your laundry along with everyone else's, so you walk into the kitchen or the mess room one day and your underwear is just drying on a line, while everyone else is trying to eat and pretending they haven't noticed. Not to mention that every month you'd have the added bonus (humiliation) of a banner stretched across one wall saying 'Have a Happy Period', just because Kryten would make it his duty to know about these things.
The Cat, well I really don't know how he'd react to be honest. He'd either flirt constantly or just treat you the same as he does Lister since, you know, you're both technically monkeys to him.
And Rimmer would just decide that he doesn't like you, just because he's hopeless with women and assumes you won't like him, so it just saves time. He'd spend most of his time rolling his eyes at the soppy rom-coms you and Lister bond over.
Basically at some point you will end up building a blanket fort in a corner of the cargo bay and hiding in there with biscuits and a book where no-one can find you.
Edited to add: It'd be slightly better when Holly becomes a woman, if for no other reason than it just *feels* nice to see another female face.
New chapter of Persephone is up, in which Sephy questions her place on Red Dwarf, and finds an unusual voice of reason.
Comments and kudos make me want to cry and cling to your leg as I thank you over and over again. Plus I am an unapologetic attention seeker. Go nuts guys!
You don't need anyone's approval for the stories you write and the art you create. But it's also absolutely valid to want some approval from your audience. Kudos and likes don't determine your creation's worth. But it just feels amazing to receive them.
