I know I just recently reblogged a post and mentioned how much I love the Lows but I love the Highs too and I think they're cute and they deserve more love <3 I love thinking about their little poetry readings and philosophy discussions and the fact that they probably all wear symbols on their foreheads in solidarity with Rimmer. I like to believe that there's a large garden on their ship and Kryten is the one who mainly tends it but the others help out and Rimmer paints it and does still lifes of various flowers and produce from it (he probably paints portraits of the others and other works but Holly can't sustain the projection of all of them so they don't last long). Even though The Cat doesn't care as much about fashion I think he still likes utilizing the same skills OG Cat has through embroidery/textile art and mending/creating all of their robes. He could also arrange flowers from the garden (sometimes for still lifes) and design the layouts of their communal areas. Lister can actually play guitar and other instruments on top of that and he's usually the one that performs music for the others (even though the others probably know how to play too- perhaps Lister taught them or helps them improve). He definitely taught Kryten and is the most encouraging in him trying out ways to express himself. Sometimes he writes poetry not set to music. In the universe(s) that exists where the High crew continue to live on after Demons and Angels take place, I think it's nice to imagine Rimmer getting the hardlight drive and all of them being so ecstatic that he can participate more fully in the activities on the ship, planting in the garden and playing physical instruments and getting to keep his paintings. They have a little banquet to celebrate and they cook it together. Rimmer paints Lister a little portrait that he can keep in a locket around his neck. Lister returns the gesture. I know this is all over the place but I just love thinking about the crew being creative and artistic and I think the Highs are the most likely to truly not only embrace that part of themselves but also make it communal. I want to see them create things and bond! I love them so much

realizing that not q lot of people know this so here goes:

The term utopian comes from a book by Thomas More which describes an ambiguous but likely mythical island called utopia (Greek, literally: no-place), where slavery is present and religion is compulsory. despite this the island is said to be perfect and everyone is happy, I don't think I need to tell you why this is bad.

It's not just the origins of the term either, as utopian has a long history of usage among bourgeoisie reformists who understood politics not as a collection of institutions and actions, a theory of class conflict, or any scientific study at all, but rather as simply an issue of ideas - society shows flaws merely because people have not discovered the truth about it, that capitalism is illogical and that class distinctions will dissolve simply by understanding them to hold no benefit. Engels outlines the history of this movement and its flaws well in Socialism: Utopian and Scientific.

In general, the term is not something to align yourself with as the movement has historically ignored scientific understanding of society, the natural and conflicting interests of class, and the continual movement and progression in society. The word itself literally means impossible and comes from a book describing slavery.

Had to make an analysis comic for one of my finals last semester and I decided to do mine on the similarities between Arby and Jessica's trauma and how differently it affected them!

I tried my best to mimic the style of the manuscript from the show and although it's not exactly the same I love how this turned out! It was tons of fun to make a comic using paints, ink and pencil instead of digitally for once!

(Also I absolutely hate academic writing so if the words feel a little clunky just ignore it lol)

Mabel really was just fighting a god in the body of her brother and ended the fight by reminding bill that human bodies are not eternal huh. Genuinely histerical that she nerfed him with tickles and dippers preexisting conditions of dumbassery

Utopia's Just Around the Bend

Watching the city burn to the ground we pass a cigarette back and forth smiles on both our faces We swore we were going to figure it out We promised would bring in Utopia

And the cops are overwhelmed by the mass of people fed up with the power trip We won't go quiet and we won't be peaceful Not when the war turns into something real

They may have some kind of self-elected power but we aren't bothered because we got the numbers Riot bullets and beanbags out to the stomach The first wave will always go down

Sacrifice is needed for a job well done

Both of us smell like gasoline and sulfur They used to swear the revolution would be televised But there's no cameras in the ever-engulfing flames And there's battles fought under every streetlamp The people rise when Utopia's just around the bend

Don't give up so soon, that's where our problem lies It's a gathering people that turns into brick throwing riots I've had my eyes on that fucking Starbucks for months Using spraypaint as a weapon, and bandannas as a gas mask like bandits in black with a black flag a red flag, what's always ended up as a white flag

You can't fight for justice if you refuse to fight And you can't fight for justice if you refuse to help it exist
