Dating Arnold J. Rimmer would include…
(I want more Red Dwarf fics so I made one myself… enjoy~ PS:moodboard not mine. This is the amazing person who made it—> acemeaskipper) (And of course this is after Rimmer acquired hard light mode)
-Forehead kisses… mainly your doing.
We all know that Rimmer hates being a hologram and if he could he would probably rip the big H off of his forehead, that’s why you kiss him specifically there. I mean… of course the rest of his body will receive the same treatment especially his more private parts~ but his forehead will get the biggest amount of affection.
Plus, he gets incredibly flustered whenever you do it and tries to cover the H with his curly hair. Absolutely adorable.
-Listening to him when the rest of the crew doesn’t.
Rimsy has a lot of stuff he wants to talk about but literally nobody will listen to him and that is why you take time of your day just so he can tell you all about his new discoveries and complain about the other Dwarfers. His voice always gets a bit softer when he is around you and listening to it is pure bliss~
-Scolding Lister and Cat. Regularly.
Honestly, they tease him 24/7 and sometimes it really pisses you off… Can’t they just give him a break? Of course he is a total smeghead but the others aren’t any better… For fuck’s sake Kryten still can’t remember that your bras aren’t ment to be ironed! And Cat? He likes to sit in the laundry room just because your underwear is rolling around in the washing machine… Oh and our dear Lister… not even knowing what an iguana is.
Let’s face it, they are all completely hopeless…
-Calling him Arnie.
He will tell you that he hates it but he is secretly obsessed with it~
-Cuddling with him in his bunk bed.
This happens when only the two of you are alone. Never in a million years would Rimmer cuddle with you if there was a chance of Lister walking in on you… Arn would never catch a break after that…
-Teaching him how to make sweet pastries and desserts.
From apple pies to tiramisu to going as far as macarons, you are the one who is gonna be teaching him all of that jazz. Rimmer has gotten surprisingly good at cooking since he is now made out of hard light but when it comes to the sweet stuff he is completely lost, not even knowing how to make something as simple as pancake batter. So you became his teacher. The best thing about all this? He listens to everything you say, taking notes and writing them down into his notebook so he can be as good at making sweets as you are.
-Playfully calling him captain.
this is one way to immediately turn Arnold J. Rimmer on… When you discover how much he loves being called captain, you take full advantage of it. If you whisper the nickname into his ear… maybe even kiss it right after, you have a new problem to deal with once you walk out of the room. A very horny and very needy Arnold Rimmer will be tailing right behind you so he can get you all to himself~
-Bunch of Flirting.
Once you prove to Rimsy that you really are interested in him and that it isn’t in fact some sort of a joke, it was like a switch flipped inside of him… You two flirt constantly.
And when I say constantly I mean… CONSTANTLY.
Lister and Cat make very displeased faces when they witness it but you two don’t care. You are in love~
-A lot of sex… surprisingly.
People think that because of his low self-esteem Rimmer is shy and awkward about it but… oh boy let me tell you…
This man has incredibly high sex drive, lusting for you all the time. When it was your first time he was bashful, not really knowing what to do to please you but once he got used to what you like… this man…
He will easily spend his whole day laying with you in bed, making love to you hours on end~
-Playing with his curls.
His hair is soft… Like really, REALLY soft and you cannot help but touch it at least once a day and altho he protests, the feeling of your fingers running thru his hair soothes him right away, making him forget why he was mad in the first place.
…
I love this man… help me :,D

The country of Iceland has held a funeral for its first glacier lost to the climate crisis. The once massive Okjokull glacier, now completely gone, has been commemorated with a plaque that reads: “A letter to the future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it.”
This reality is reverberating across the globe, far beyond Iceland. Even when no literal funeral is being held, we are, in a sense, witnessing an ongoing funeral for the world we once knew.
July was the hottest month ever recorded on Earth since record keeping began in 1880. Nine out of the 10 hottest Julys ever recorded have occurred since 2005, and July was the 43rd consecutive July to register temperatures above the 20th century average.
In Greenland, scientists were stunned by how rapidly the ice sheet is melting, as it was revealed the ice there was not expected to melt like this until 2070. The melt rate has been called “unprecedented,” as the all-time single-day melt record was broken in August as the ice sheet lost a mind-bending 12.5 billion tons of water in one day. It is worth remembering that the Greenland ice sheet contains enough ice to increase global sea levels by 20 feet, and it is now predicted that it will lose more ice this year than ever before.
Also for the first time in recorded history, Alaska’s sea ice has melted completely away. That means there was no sea ice whatsoever within 150 miles of its shores, according to the National Weather Service, as the northernmost state cooked under record-breaking heat through the summer.
Earth
A recent UN report estimates 2 billion people are already facing moderate to severe food insecurity, due largely to the warming planet. The other contributing factors are conflict and economic stagnation, but extreme weather events and shifting weather patterns are a large and growing contributor to this crisis, which is sure to escalate over time.
Another recent study, titled “Adaptive responses of animals to climate change are most likely insufficient,” showed that many animals are no longer able to adjust quickly enough to the climate crisis. While birds are laying their eggs earlier as temperatures and conditions change, and are doing what they can to coax their chicks to hatch sooner, it is still not enough to keep apace with the dramatically shifting climate. Many more extinctions are on the horizon.
Speaking of, Beluga whales in the Arctic are now clearly in a downward spiral toward their demise, due largely to climate crisis impacts, according to another study. Warming waters, lack of food, and pollution are taking their toll on the embattled whales. Over the past 20 years, their growth rates have been declining, which means their ability to forage for food is now also compromised.
It is interesting to see even mainstream outlets like People Magazine now reporting on climate grief, which the medical community has already been doing for quite some time, and expects to see a dramatic ramping up of climate-disruption-related mental health issues in the future.
In Greenland, residents are already traumatized by climate impacts, as they are coping with the reality that their traditional ways of life are clearly on the way out. Courtney Howard, board president of the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment, told The Guardian that she believes the climate crisis is causing worsening states of mental and physical health around the world, and says these issues will become some of the most important of our time. “Temperature change is magnified in circumpolar regions,” she told The Guardian. “There is no question Arctic people are now showing symptoms of anxiety, ‘ecological grief’ and even post-traumatic stress related to the effects of climate change.”
In the financial realms, a leading economic historian warned recently that the climate crisis could very well become the trigger for the next global financial crisis by way of causing instability and massive disruptions in markets.
Distressingly, a recently published study warned that a new superbug which erupted at the same time on three continents may well have been brought about from warming temperatures. The study pointed out how a drug-resistant fungal disease has now been made more prevalent by existing on a warming planet.
A recent report from Canada warned that British Columbia could see “catastrophic” consequences from climate disruption-related events in the next three decades. These include more severe wildfire seasons, increasingly intense and longer heat waves, water shortages, and storm surges across the province.
Speaking of Canada, that country’s Pediatric Society recently warned that children’s health is expected to be increasingly negatively affected by climate-disruption impacts, including things like air pollution and heat stress.
Water
Drought-induced blackouts are now besetting the people of Zimbabwe, where some places are seeing 18 hours per day without electricity. Imagine that in the summer heat. Dams providing hydropower lack water. Power blackouts are spreading.
In Harare, Zimbabwe’s capital city, the taps have run dry, affecting more than 2 million people, who have been trying to cope with not having access to municipal drinking water.
In India, a stunning 1 million people were displaced and at least 270 killed by severe flooding from heavier than usual monsoon rains.
Back in the U.S., New York City’s summer has served as a preview of things to come, as an extreme heat wave coupled with flash flooding beset the iconic city.
On the other end of the water spectrum, a recent study published in Science Advances warned that megadroughts will likely beset the U.S. Southwest within decades. The study stated that the megadroughts are “almost assured,” and will be on a scale not seen since medieval times.
At the same time, by 2050, another report warned that “snow droughts” will become far more common across the western U.S. This is critical, in that it compounds the aforementioned impending drought crisis, as mountain snowpack is vital to providing water into the spring and summer.
A recent and critically important study showed that one quarter of the total global population across 17 countries is already affected by extreme water stress. Lebanon, Qatar and Israel/Palestine top a list of places with the worst water shortages, as the growing climate crisis threatens more “day zeroes” — days where major cities will literally run out of water.
Meanwhile, sea levels continue their inevitable and accelerating rise. In the U.S., a recent report showed how 21 beach towns, including Miami Beach, Galveston, Atlantic City and Key West, will soon be underwater.
Speaking of Galveston, the state of Texas is looking toward Dutch expertise for assistance in how to construct what would be the nation’s most expensive and most ambitious coastal barrier for protection against intensifying hurricanes. The Netherlands has been devising ways to protect massive parts of its low-lying country against the ocean for centuries. Now the skills it has cultivated are, soberingly, increasingly relevant worldwide.
Meanwhile, the oceans continue to warm as they absorb the brunt of the heat human activity is adding to the atmosphere, and the warming waters are literally pushing Pacific salmon to the brink of their ability to survive, according to another report.
Distressingly, a recently published study showed that unexpected marine heat waves are now becoming the norm rather than the exception.
Alpine mountaineering routes are disintegrating as glaciers and icefields melt in the Alps. The ice-reliant climbing routes in the mountains are tumbling down and melting away faster than anyone expected.
Greenland experienced a record heat wave in the middle of this summer, which dramatically accelerated the melting of the ice sheet, meaning its contributions to sea level rise are in the process of accelerating as well.
Meanwhile, scientists have expressed alarm and shock about the fact that the permafrost across the Canadian Arctic is thawing out 70 years sooner than previously predicted.
Things are so dire in the icy realms of Earth that the country of Iceland is now preparing for how it will cope without any more ice … something that country relies upon for its identity, businesses, government and very existence.
Fire
These stunning satellite photos show an Arctic burning up in front of our eyes. In Alaska alone, at the time of this writing, at least 1.6 million acres have burned from at least 100 wildfires this summer. Wildfires in Siberia could well burn into October when the first snows fall, as at least 6.7 million acres have burned across Russia.
Another report showed that, due to climate disruption, wildfires in California have already become 500 percent larger than they were since the 1970s.
Canadian media are reporting that forests that have been scorched in the Pacific Northwest are not growing back as expected. This brings into question numerous species of trees’ ability to regenerate as the fires get increasingly hot, burn longer, and scorch longer areas.
At the same time, another report reaffirmed the fact that even the rainy Northwest is now facing the inevitable increased risk of wildfires due to higher temperatures, increasing drought and lower humidity.
Air
By 2050, Florida will have more days that feel like 100 degrees Fahrenheit (100°F) than any other state in the U.S., according to a recent study. Washington D.C. currently averages one week per year of 100-degree days, while by 2050 that could rise to two months. The same study warned that climate disruption will expose millions of people across the U.S. to “off-the-charts” extreme heat.
Meanwhile, Europe sizzled under a record-breaking heat wave this summer, as heat from the Sahara baked the continent and temperature records toppled en masse. There are far too many records to name from that heatwave, but notable was the fact that Germany, Belgium and The Netherlands recorded their highest temperatures ever during Europe’s second major summer heatwave.
In Canada, the far northern community of Nunavut saw warmer temperatures than the city of Victoria, far to its south. According to CBC News, “the source of the Arctic beach weather is a large current of air that somehow found its way north from the U.S. southeast” — a much more common occurrence as warming intensifies.
Denial and Reality
Ever busy denying the crisis, in the last month the Trump administration buried a large climate disruption response plan, as revealed by Politico. The outlet revealed how the Agriculture Department prevented the release of an already completed and sweeping plan about how the government should best respond to the climate crisis.
Meanwhile, in what could have been a slip of the tongue, Trump’s Energy Secretary Rick Perry said during a recent nationally televised interview, “The climate is changing. Are we part of the reason? Yeah, it is. I’ll let people debate on who’s the bigger problem here.”
It’s not just the Trump administration that’s fueling denial. It was also revealed how DNC Chair Tom Perez introduced a resolution in an attempt to kill a climate debate among the Democratic presidential candidates.
Nevertheless, reality has a way of not going away, despite human efforts at denial.
A recent report showed that the climate crisis is already well along in causing childhood deaths and the stunting of growth in Australia and across the Pacific. Other impacts on kids include lowered cognitive capacity and higher susceptibility to the spread of diseases.
And, to keep all of this in perspective, as a final reality check, the burning of fossil fuels reached an all-time record last year, according to oil giant BP.
For perspective on the rate of acceleration now baked into the system, half of all fossil fuels used by humans have been burned since just 1990. Many more consequences are lurking just around the corner: It takes at least 10 years before we begin to see the impacts of the CO2 once the fuels are burned.

Red Dwarf Fic Remix Fest 2019
Okay. Let’s do the thing. Here’s how it works...
The remix fest will run from (today) 24th September through to 31st October. You may submit up to three fics for remixing. You can only submit your own works, ie you cannot nominate someone else’s fic. You can claim a maximum of three fics to remix. Each fic can be claimed a maximum of twice. You do NOT need to enter a fic in order to play, but it is encouraged. The more, the merrier!
Ground Rules
- Basic rules apply as above.
- No remixing your own fics.
- Be respectful of any requests made by the original author.
- This is not a competition. Don’t feel downhearted if your fic/s don’t get claimed. You can’t control when/how inspiration strikes, as we all know far too well.
Partly out of inclusiveness, but mostly out of laziness, I am simplifying the rules this year.
Submissions will be open until 8th October. These can be made via the link on this blogs homepage, or via Ask/Message.
Claiming will begin on 9th October. There will be no ‘deadline’ as such for this. So long as a fic has been claimed less than twice, it will remain up for grabs until 31 October. To claim a fic, send an Ask/Message to this blog. Fics will be allocated on a ‘first come, first served’ basis.
Once you’ve been notified that your claim is authorised, you can post your remix/remixes whenever you are ready. You should aim to post your entries by the end of the fest on Oct 31st, however as many of us know from past experience, the posting deadline is ‘more of a guideline than an actual rule’.

I’d be up for that, I’ve actually been off and on writing a new one for a few weeks now
Speaking hypothetically...
...I mean, I’m being entirely hypothetical here, if I were to set up another RD fic remix fest how many people would be up for it? Show of hands please.

that’s actually a texture pack, you can get the elder scrolls Minecraft texture pack, I’ve got it on my xbox
Todd Howard released Skyrim Minecraft, and it was literally the entire game of Skyrim recreated in Minecraft, blocky Minecraft models paired with Skyrim’s textures (the exact same textures as Skyrim but edited a little to fit Minecraft’s models without looking deformed or squished/stretched). Even the little health, armor, and food bars above your equipped blocks were reskinned into Skyrim status bars.

this is gonna be an extremely unpopular opinion so bare with me, but i don’t think children should be vaccinated unless they really absolutely want to be and if they grow up into adults who still don’t want to be vaccinated then so be it.
kids are too young to fully grasp what vaccination does to you, and i don’t mean that in a “they’ll make you autistic and die” way. i mean they don’t understand what they’re setting themselves up for in the future. (shots are pretty traumatic for children too, but that’s for another day.) if a child is too young to consent to sex or medical transition if they’re trans, they’re definitely too young to consent to a vax.
i haven’t had any contact with my family for quite some time now, so i have a hard time knowing my medical history, especially with my lack of health insurance and a move to a different country.
because of that, i live with the constant fear that i might have been vaccinated against rabies. my family was extremely poor and had spotty health insurance but its hard to say. but its fucking heartbreaking to know i might never be fully rabid because my parent might have vaccinated me as a child, when i was too young to know, too young to have a say in it.
how many other kids are there, just like me? how many adults have grown up miserable because they’ve been vaccinated against their genetic disposition for a certain disease? its practically eugenics and it makes me fuckin sick to my stomach. there are babies RIGHT NOW getting vaxxed bc “thats what’s healthy for them” and their parents have no idea how much grief they’re causing right now.
so yea, maybe stop vaxxing your kids??
