Thinking about Rimmer and he is the most character to ever character, huh?
He’s an asshole. He has a crush on Jesus yet is not Christian. He makes most things worse for himself and blames everyone else. He’s a coward. He’s rude and unfriendly, yet still makes that fucking heartfelt sandwich speech. He once lived with a clone of himself and drove himself to move out because he couldn’t stand it. He’s autistic. He severely hates himself yet has a massive ego. He literally almost killed himself through a being that was born from his own self-loathing. He’s so deeply in the closet that he’s misogynistic. He’s canonically asexual and has only had sex once for 12 minutes before he died. He has been dead for 3 million years and is entirely composed of light and machinery. He gets uncomfortable when his female self flirts with him. He has failed the same exam over 11 times. He has cross-dressed. He absolutely can’t stand his alter ego even though everyone else loves him. He’s been bought back to life and he kneed death in the nuts when he was about to die again. His first kiss was his uncle who woke him up snogging him thinking he was his mother. He claims to be unable to stand his roommate but has been living in close quarters with him for 30 odd years. Oh and best of all: he committed genocide which killed everyone on his ship as well as himself- and it was an accident.
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)
Lister: He just drives me insane with everything he does! Like- Like how, whenever I drop anything on the floor, he tells me to pick it up the very moment it hits the ground. And he goes off at me every time I eat something that's any less healthy than a salad. And he always calls me Lister.
Kryten: …You are aware that Lister is your name, sir?
Lister: No, I know that! I mean he always calls me Lister. Just Lister. You'd think, after being stranded together three million years into deep-space for well over a year, he'd maybe call me Dave every once in a while. But no. Its always Lister. Smegging Lister!
Kryten: Are you bothered by me calling you Mr Lister?
Lister: No, that's fine. I just want him to say my name. My actual name. I think thats reasonable. I want to hear his whiny, pathetic voice call me ‘Dave’, is that too much to- …Oh smeg… Oh smegging smeg!
