Does anybody on Tumblr know if there are fictional expies of the Red Dwarf crew? I know there are plenty of expies of the Doctor from Doctor Who. But I'm curious to know if there were any writers who wanted to explore interesting character possibilities the show didn't explore.
I love the idea of Terry Sloane having a sidekick, but Raghu Seetharaman should've been merged with Wanda Wilson's little brother Billy. Billy and Wanda Seetharaman would have been a great way of honoring Pre-Crisis while looking ahead to the Future.

You can never go wrong by refusing to idolize politicians.
@sunny-bexster ‘s request of “Skutters dressing up”
Possibly not quite what you meant but it was fun to draw.
This is definitely what I envisioned of the Universe where the crew are Skutters. Although they also had wigs. ;)
It would have been a cool addition to Lister's character if (like craig charles himself) had started doing performance poetry, in the later seasons at least. I know he's more interested in playing guitar and learning robotics but idk, seems like something he could have done. Even out of boredom
truly some people have no genre savviness whatsoever. A girl came back from the dead the other day and fresh out of the grave she laughed and laughed and lay down on the grass nearby to watch the sky, dirt still under her nails. I asked her if she’s sad about anything and she asked me why she should be. I asked her if she’s perhaps worried she’s a shadow of who she used to be and she said that if she is a shadow she is a joyous one, and anyway whoever she was she is her, now, and that’s enough. I inquired about revenge, about unfinished business, about what had filled her with the incessant need to claw her way out from beneath but she just said she’s here to live. I told her about ghosts, about zombies, tried to explain to her how her options lie between horror and tragedy but she just said if those are the stories meant for her then she’ll make another one. I said “isn’t it terribly lonely how in your triumph over death nobody was here to greet you?” and she just looked at me funny and said “what do you mean? The whole world was here, waiting”. Some people, I tell you.
Even since I've gotten into Red Dwarf again, I have wondered if Lister and Rimmer had been in a more serious sci-fi show like Doctor Who, they would've had a more consistent character arc with lasting personal growth. Doug Naylor's Trilogy Closer book 'The Last Human' explored that in a sense.
yeah I think they would have had better development in a more serious show but comedy-sitcom rules often mean they can’t. I do think both characters were a bit more relaxed with each other by the Dave era of Red Dwarf - less venom in their bickering - and it’s better than nothing but still….
My thoughts about Red Dwarf and the differences between the show and the books did inspire a dimension where they became Ace and 'Spanners' not because of being held back a year and Lewis Pemberton respectively, but because having to go through what their Canonverse counterparts did gave them some much needed positive character development. My nickname for the Lister of this dimension is 'Sideways', because of the longer, sideways route they had to go through without the pivotal events that made them heroes earlier.
Honestly Rimmer is pretty valid for being pissed off during Quarantine. Imagine you've had terrible abandonment issues your whole life, you've finally started to bond, and your 'friends' essentially decide to kill you (all be it on a time share basis) to replace you with someone else. I'd be pissed too.
Considering that Quarantine was after Terrorform, it's obvious that he's getting revenge for the very cruel thing the rest of the crew said at the end of Terrorform.
You know what would've been a really cool Back To Earth mindfuck? Have the Joy Squid Hallucination be that the Dwarfers wake up in their actors' bodies, their memories slowly being overwritten the longer they stay. Sure, the cast have their share of problems, but compared to their characters', it's relatively happy.
i'd never seen red dwarf and knew nothing about it. and then on a whim i read the two grant naylor books. and then something sick and evil happened to me. and now i'm midway through season 4.
(the lack of kryten isn't bc i don't love him, it's bc i didn't get a quick handle on his angles so he never ended up getting doodled while i was watching lol. someday)
The first fanart perfectly fits my headcanons about the messed up mental headspaces of Lister and Rimmer.

"Vanderhorst had been under the influence of MDMA and three litres of vodka she had consumed on the night of the offence last September, her lawyer Michael Hill told the court."
three. liters.

This is hilarious as calling Chicago's Cloud Gate statue 'The Bean'.
Post-TPL feels...
Ace and Rimmer are both so similar. Yeah, Rimmer is extremely bitter and insecure, but Ace is just as insecure. He just swung the other direction to complete selflessness.
He has no concept of care for his own well being. Hell, Lister mentions he's fuckin up for 36 hours with a broken arm (which he still hasn't taken care of), fresh off of Cats surgery, and he's teaching Kryten to play the piano.
This man wants so terribly to be liked and loved he will never put his own happiness first. Everyone else comes first. Yeah, he may be a 'hero,' but at what cost?
I'm disappointed that Red Dwarf didn't extend the Ace Rimmer Legacy to its logical conclusion by introducing a Green Lantern/Legion of Super Heroes Expy group called 'The Legion of Aces'. Defenders of the Multiverse!
I have to admit, a Back to Earth AU where the final boss before they escape the hallucination is a horrific fusion of Doug Naylor and Rob Grant trying to murder the Dwarfers would've been pretty cool.
