i was just rewatching s1e3 of red dwarf, where rimmer takes kochanski’s form and tries to trick lister.
genuinely what was his goal there? like i can’t think of a straight excuse for that at all.
like he knew that lister would act romantically towards him thinking it was kochanski
even if it was just to trick lister into thinking he really had swapped the discs and stop lister from outranking him, he knew lister would follow through with a date and all
AND EVEN AFTER HE WAS FOUND OUT HE WAS STILL TRYING TO CONVINCE LISTER TO GO THROUGH WITH IT “it’s kochanski’s body. it’s kochanski’s voice. i mean, what’s the difference?!”
I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE.
Posh Rimmer in Better Than Life
It's so funny to me to see people talk about the moment when they started shipping Lister and Rimmer because typically it seems like it was right from the start or it was That Scene in Blue but for me I instantly was shipping them just in a more or less nonserious, sorta ironic, "and they were roommates" way until Balance of Power when Rimmer straight up propositions Lister while using Kochanski's image even though Rimmer knew that Lister knew it was him and I went "Oh there really is Something going on here"
a little doodle of an inside joke between some of my friends 😭
very happy with how it came out, especially lister, though it took an embarrassingly long time to finish before I was satisfied lmaoo-
