A family can be a man, a hologram of his dead bunkmate, a humanoid lifeform that evolved from his pet cat, an unstable sanitation mechanoid and a senile ship computer. And I think that's beautiful okay?
the red dwarf x rocky horror picture show crossover nobody asked for!!!
(ignore all the costume irregularities, i ended up just having fun with it😭 also them wearing the lesbian flag colours was an honest accident but not a bad one in my opinion)
Not sure if anyone's made a post like this before but Red dwarf really is the show of all time
It's got a genderswap episode, its got a bodyswap episode, it's got multiple clone episodes, plenty of alternate universes and a simply iconic musical number despite the fact that its not a musical show by any means
theres a trans computer, two counts of mpreg, insane levels of homosexual behavior and a robot who goes through a midlife crisis
it's got the most repressed man in existence who also happens to be dead, literally the most optimistic last human alive (seriously, how is he so positive all the time) and a dude with frankly the best wardrobe ever who also happens to be literally a cat
Theres dodgy BBC budget practical effects (which I love), copious moments which are insane in and out of context, sets that are held together with blu tac and a cult following that could probably once destroy anything
It's got that season which not many people like to talk about (cough 8, cough), one of the creators left halfway through and they've all been doing It for over 35 years and are still going somehow
God I love it so much, it really is the show of all time
imagine my surprise when i discover that theres an active red dwarf community on tumblr 😭 oh man i grew up on this show and i started thinking about it again recently, how the time flies..
David Lister who knits. David Lister who cries at Casablanca. David Lister whose despair squid hallucination was himself as a bad person. David Lister who was excited to be a parent. David Lister who had that taken away from him twice. David Lister who sends himself Fathers' Day cards and presents. David Lister who went to the deathbed of the dying cat priest who worshipped him as a god and told him he had done well. David Lister who wanted to return to earth, only to be stranded millions of light years away from it, near alone in a desolate universe, part of an ouroboros of time. David Lister who is just a normal guy. David Lister who is the last of his species.
