#If I had artistic talent I'd make redesigns of their outfits

[odo-apologist]

I know I just recently reblogged a post and mentioned how much I love the Lows but I love the Highs too and I think they're cute and they deserve more love <3 I love thinking about their little poetry readings and philosophy discussions and the fact that they probably all wear symbols on their foreheads in solidarity with Rimmer. I like to believe that there's a large garden on their ship and Kryten is the one who mainly tends it but the others help out and Rimmer paints it and does still lifes of various flowers and produce from it (he probably paints portraits of the others and other works but Holly can't sustain the projection of all of them so they don't last long). Even though The Cat doesn't care as much about fashion I think he still likes utilizing the same skills OG Cat has through embroidery/textile art and mending/creating all of their robes. He could also arrange flowers from the garden (sometimes for still lifes) and design the layouts of their communal areas. Lister can actually play guitar and other instruments on top of that and he's usually the one that performs music for the others (even though the others probably know how to play too- perhaps Lister taught them or helps them improve). He definitely taught Kryten and is the most encouraging in him trying out ways to express himself. Sometimes he writes poetry not set to music. In the universe(s) that exists where the High crew continue to live on after Demons and Angels take place, I think it's nice to imagine Rimmer getting the hardlight drive and all of them being so ecstatic that he can participate more fully in the activities on the ship, planting in the garden and playing physical instruments and getting to keep his paintings. They have a little banquet to celebrate and they cook it together. Rimmer paints Lister a little portrait that he can keep in a locket around his neck. Lister returns the gesture. I know this is all over the place but I just love thinking about the crew being creative and artistic and I think the Highs are the most likely to truly not only embrace that part of themselves but also make it communal. I want to see them create things and bond! I love them so much
