#red dwarf crew

From the website here you can make some memes, or just download shots from every red dwarf episode and stuff XD

You can also do a random roll, which gives you a random pic and a random quote from a red dwarf episode. So I want to share some funny matches with you😭

keep thinking about how since it's implied that the Ace in Dimension Jump is the original (as in that there weren't multiple Aces jumping in multiple different dimensions simultaneously) it means that that single version of Rimmer was the direct catalyst for the deaths of thousands of other versions of himself

looking for reference pictures to doodle lister and i cant stop laughing at this jacket

cant stop thinking abt him scouring the ship to find as many officers badges as possible just to piss rimmer off

Found Family Tournament Round 1 Part 17 Group 84

Propaganda and further pictures under the cut

Seven Birds: Taako, Magnus, Merle, Lup, Lucretia, Davenport, Barry

Boys from the Dwarf: Arnold Rimmer, David Lister, Kryten and The Cat

Submissions are still open!

Seven Birds:

they literally spent a hundred years becoming a family and lucretia tried her best to protect the but they could only save the world after all of them had been reunited and they LOVE each other they deserve to win this whole thing

Boys from the Dwarf:

Listen. These guys actually canonically have nobody else, the entire rest of the crew of this spaceship died in a nuclear incident which TECHNICALLY was Rimmer's fault. Forced family. Lister is the last human alive, Rimmer is technically a ghost kept alive by technology, Kryten is a robot and Cat is a cat. They live on this massive spaceship yet still choose to spend all their time together, it has been like 30 years at this point. I cannot stress to you how they had the option to leave and go elsewhere in this ship the size of a city at any given time yet chose to stick together after 30 years. Every opportunity any of them has had to get off this godforsaken ship, they have turned down. They would do anything for eachother but also would leave eachother on a random planet without hesitation (and actually have done). They are best buddies, they even have a handsign/handshake.

They’re an unlikely crew but ultimately they’re all each other has. Dave wakes up from stasis as the last human alive and to keep him sane the ship’s computer brought his dead bunk mate back as a hologram. They don’t usually get along but after being all each other has they ultimately need each other and do care about each other. They’re just hard assess about it. Also on board is a humanoid being called The Cat, who is from a species that evolved from a cat that was smuggled on board the ship before the accident that killed the crew. He’s usually self-centred but even after finding his own species again he ultimately decides his home is with the boys from the dwarf. And then there’s Kryten, a service mechanoid with an over-active guilt chip that they rescued from a crashed ship along the way. They’re dysfunctional and complete opposites to each other in many ways, but they are always together in every parallel universe they come across. And even when they do separate to try to do their own thing, ultimately they always come back to each other. They’ll act like they all dislike each other at times, but ultimately if trouble threatens one of them then the rest will band together. Also their dynamic together is just extremely funny.

series 8 premiere must have felt horribly bittersweet for Lister in many ways because on one hand he's so so happy to see his friends again and to be reunited with Rimmer (even if it's not his Rimmer) but at the same time he's very much gotten used to having the run of the ship so having to go back to taking orders and being subordinate to basically everyone he encounters must have been a hard pill to swallow

[grinchwrapsupreme]

MASH and Red Dwarf are sitcom opposites but also the same due to the fact that while both of them are comedies taking place in the midst of tragedy MASH is funnier without the laugh track whereas without the laugh track Red Dwarf becomes a bottomless black hole of existential loneliness and dread

[new-wave-worm]

honestly thinking of doing my own version/rewrite of kochanski because she deserves better

[spotforme]

don't mind my delerium but

Lister has a nightmare that the gravity stops working on red dwarf. this causes chaos and a bit of panic in his dream. when he wakes up from the nightmare the gravity on the ship is still, thankfully, working; but after venturing out of his bunk he finds the lifeless bodies of his crewmates floating around, seemingly unaffected by the gravity he is very much experiencing, he tries to pull some of them to their beds but they keep floating up. he needs to figure out why they got like this, why do they seem dead, they have no wounds, they're just eerily floating around in the halls, unresponsive and limp in the air, ther eyes open, staring in to nothing, but occasionally their eyes go straight trough Lister. what's Lister gonna do with the weight of figuring this out as his crew literally looms over him

[mysweetoddbird]

lister i love you but if you do not give kryten the attention he deserves....

[kochanski]

Here's another concept from my drafts folder:

What if the gang finally had an opportunity to get back to Earth in the correct time and place, but Lister tries to sabotage it? After a lengthy drawn out attempt to get him to confess the reason, he starts to admit he's got sort of like… prison syndrome. He believes he wouldn't be able to survive on Earth after years of just scavenging and living off Red Dwarf's storage, and feels he's lost whatever carefree spark it was that kept him afloat when he had no hope of reaching Earth before. This anxiety spirals and finally Rimmer is the one to talk him down of all people because Rimmer actually understands how that type of rejection feels.

This is a theory for the TV series on how original Rimmer could have returned after series 8.

However a small spoiler warning because I have been rereading the Red Dwarf books and I am up to 'Backwards' and it is referenced as something to explain in more detail about the dimensional travel.

I have read up to Ace and the burnt Wildfire and how they plan on solving what went wrong, and a thought occured to me when they were talking about it being almost impossible to return to your universe of origin, this being due to the vast expanse of universes growing by every possible different choice being made. So it is possible to return just unlikely meaning that original Rimmer could get back.

I then though about the end of series 8, and how later in 'Back to Earth' hologram Rimmer is back. I know of many different theories people have had and I want to present one of my own.

The theory is that our Rimmer from pre-series 8 had double the chance of finding home. Although that is still a small chance it is more likely. He could have jumped into either his home universe of into the mirror universe. If we choose to belive he jumped into the mirror universe it is possible he passed through the mirror/portal and entered into the main universe. And him walking through could have broken the connection and been the reason the mirror was broken and nanobot Rimmer was unable to return through it. Rimmer is then onboard the ship and able to "save" the day meanwhile if nanobot Rimmer found Wildfire, it means that the legacy of Ace is not necessarily gone as he could take on the mantle. (It has been a while since watching 'Only the Good' so remind me if I'm wrong about anything).

I also really would find it funny for the biggest coward to be capable of making his way home when others couldn't, and I feel it fits well with his character that he would do something near impossible rather than be brave and put himself in danger for other people.

Thanks for reading. Have a good day/night.

[the-nefarious-vampire]

one of these days i swear i am going to make a character analysis for the cat across the whole series
