Forced to say "grinding"

Born to say "up up up the ziggurat lickety split!"

Forced to say "be right back"

Born to say "Stoke me a clipper, I'll be back for Christmas"

Forced to say "stop yapping"

Born to say "STOP YOUR FOUL WHINING YOU FILTHY PIECE OF DISTENDED RECTUM!"

forced to say "I was very lucky to meet you all"

Born to say "I've come to regard you as....people I've met."

feel like a big problem with the failed American red dwarf pilot was making lister a classically handsome hunk. he needs to be kind of a schlub loser so his fucking with rimmer is lateral violence instead of just the jock bullying the nerd

Sexiest bike ever versus unsexiest bike ever

I don't know anything about motorcycles, but I love looking at them...

Ace rides a Ducati 750 SS - I specifically referenced it off a real modified racing version of it nicknamed "Old Blue", which was apparently the first Ducati to win a race in the US (in Daytona in 1977). I only gave it Wildfire's colors...

Rimmer rides a ČZ 175/501 Čezeta - a Czechoslovak scooter from the 50s/60s, nicknamed "pig". Any motorcycle museum I set foot in here had one of them, and they are delightfully ugly.

I also picked out bikes for the rest of the Boys, but because they take a looot of time to draw, I opted for these two since I was the most enamored with them. But what I had in mind...

Lister - a chopper. I actually don't know enough about bikes to elaborate on this, but choppers are in the original sense of the word custom motorcycles, and Lister definitely is one to customize everything. If I had to actually draw it, I'd pick the "Captain America" chopper from Easy Rider just because it's iconic.

Kryten - Honda Goldwing 1200. As a touring motorcycle, it's comfy and fits a whole apartment in its little compartments. Also, it looks like him. Seriously.

Cat - Kawasaki GPZ900R. A predecessor of modern sport bikes. Also I then found out it was in Top Gun, so Cat would want a certified chick magnet.

Holly - Vespa. No need to elaborate.

I know I’m in the minority, but I don’t think Lister has anything neurodivergent going on. He just grew up in a poor situation and didn’t have the support he needed growing up. We’ve seen stuff in other timelines like Spanners and Captain Lister showing what he’s capable of in the right environment and with the right motivation.

Rimmer, on the other hand; clear signs of ASD and ADD. Never ever even entertained the idea of getting tested and I think a single well-timed Ritalin would changed his life.

It’s so funny to me that the boys play strip poker. Cause they can just play regular poker, or even like, poker with forfeits or something. Why do you guys wanna see each other naked so bad hmm?? Hmmm??

🫵 Gayyyyyyy

[we-should-go-crazy-together]

And they're both icons because of it <3
