Stuff I like

• Radiohead- obviously the music but Im really into collecting Radiohead stuff and memorising trivia hence the name "Radiohead geek"

• I'm getting into sci-fi stuff at the minute I have a watchlist but Im watching stuff with my friend so it takes awhile but I've started watching buck rogers in the 25th century which is fun!

• I've read hitchhiker's guide and am eventually going to watch the TV series so stay tuned for that (ford prefect my silly (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠))

All red dwarf characters are neurodivergent in some ways you can not change my mind

Rimmer- autistic along with many, many, other things.

Lister- definitely ADHD

Cat- i don't know specifically but I mean he's cat most of his traits for things come down to being cat

Kryten- I feel like most robots characters that interact with humans are like intrinsically autistic. Same as aliens.

I don't know I was just thinking about this but like rimmer and lister are definitely the best ADHD and autistic pairing yknow.

I brought a book with me on holiday to finally start reading it but Ive just spent my entire time reading a rimmer x reader and internally kicking my feet and giggling What am I doing with my life?? hes literally the worst why do I love him so much???

I actually think Cat did Rimmer a favour when he caused Mr Rimmer to insult him in BTL...it just wasn't his intention.

So recently I've been hearing about the rise in "grief technology" - companies that are profiting from creating AI versions of deceased people for the benefits of their loved ones - and it's unsettling stuff.

The reasons for people paying for these services are varied, but one reason is that people are looking for closure. They're looking to have the conversations or the forgiveness that wasn't achieved while the deceased was still alive.

However, there is a fear that this technology is addictive, so can you imagine how Rimmer wouldn't have been able to let go of his father if his fantasy of being told "well done" had come to pass?

His grief would've had pushed to the sidelines as he spent more time with his fantasy father, the father he never had. But it's not healthy as his BTL father is not an accurate memory of who Mr Rimmer really was.

The fact is that Rimmer both loved and hated his father. He wanted his love and approval but never truly received it. Living in fantasy may have protected Rimmer from pain but it wouldn't have allowed him to grow as person.

We all know that Rimmer can be selfish and cowardly, but he also grows. In Out Of Time, he's willing to fight back against his future self because he doesn't like what he sees. He could've avoided looking at his older self but he chose not to. Rimmer needed to deal with his grief, of his lost family and his lost childhood. It hurt to deal with, but there are no shortcuts. He came out stronger for it.

BTL aired over 30 years ago, but it's still an important episode. No matter how painful your grief, it's better to deal with it than to avoid it. Grief isn't "better than life" it is life.

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."

Lister and Rimmers

[radioheadgeeksstuff]

Oh by the way I watched episode 5 and yes yes you all where correct IT WAS SO GOOD. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I ACTUALLY LAUGHED THIS SEASON OMG IM SORRY I DONT EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START HONESTLY!! SEEING RIMMER AGAIN WAS LIKE SEEING WATER IN THE DESSERT I SWEAR AND THE FREAKING KISS AND THAT STUPID MUNCHKIN SONG HELP 🙏🙏🙏

[radioheadgeeksstuff]

Headcannons of how I think red dwarf characters would use social media:

Lister: I think he'd probably just watch like memes and stuff I couldn't imagine him posting too much but he would definitely use it quite a lot I could imagine him being a bit of a doomscroller.

Rimmer: Reddit user and also I could imagine him using YouTube shorts to watch edits of historical figures he probably wouldn't post much also with his track record I could definitely imagine him falling for stupid dating coaches he'd definitely be into alpha male stuff 100% HE READ A BOOK CALLED HOW TO PICK UP GIRLS BY HYPNOSIS FOR GODS SAKE!

Cat: loves ragebaiting everyone if rimmer posted anything he'd have over 100 alt accounts ready to roast I could imagine him doing grwm tiktoks lol

Kryten: wholesome Facebook mum no one can convince me otherwise 😭

I love living in the future with advanced technology. It’s so great how I can just press a button on a machine and it will splutter hot, fresh coffee outwards at a horizontal angle onto my uniform, completely missing my cup. It saves me the convenience of spilling it on myself through human error.
