Espero ir a mi RD hoy o lloro

Spend a bit of my free time just doing a few redesigns of the main six from mlp for fun!

perfect girl

back to earth gets a lot of hate compared to the rest of the show but i think theres something interesting to be said about the lack of laughing in it due to the lack of live audience

noticed this within the first scene between rimmer + lister in their sleeping quarters, it was the same kind of conversation theyd have at any other point with the same kind of comedic moments/quips between them & there were several moments where i can hear where they WOULDVE had some laughs from the audience, but there was just silence

& i just think its such a subtly interesting little insight into what life on the dwarf is actually like for THEM from THEIR perspectives, they dont find each other as hilarious as the rest of us do from the outside bc they generally just dont get along most of the time, they have no one other than each other for laughs or entertainment

lister & rimmer arguing or the cat being egotistical or literally any of the comedic interactions the live audience wouldve laughed at were just met with complete silence or frustration from the others, they cant see in from an outside perspective thats literally just the way they live alone with no one but each other for their entire lives

idk its just like an interesting little thing i noticed while im at this point in my rewatch n js started to think about

im trying to imagine what a red dwarf/doctor who crossover would be like and i cant decide which would be funnier between the doctor being in the red dwarf universe or the boys from the dwarf being in the doctor who universe

like on one hand we have the doctor who is usually the smart space/time know it all who knows just about everything about the universe and its existence and all that suddenly plonked in a universe where aliens dont actually exist, everything he comes into contact with ends up turning out to be a man-made gelf from earth, on a ship where he ends up knowing less about whats going on than the 4 greatest idiots existence can provide and hes just completely baffled at how theyve survived this long and continue to survive

and on the other hand we have the boys going rogue on the tardis & rimmer finally meeting actual aliens for the first time, lister would 1000% square up to a dalek or whatever it is they encounter while the doctor about drives himself mad trying to explain the danger of them and the boys r all just like "whatever weve seen weirder", kryten and the doctor exchanging sciencey-space knowledge & confusing each other with contradicting info from each of their respective realities, cat 100% would raid the tardis wardrobe and make fun of all the different fashion senses the doctors had over the years
