Right but as I am writing the Wall E AU I keep finding plotholes in both the film and in my interpretation and god its driving me up the bend

Like- yk how all of earths population is living in space at that point? Thats alot of bloody ships and now I've gotta come up with an explanation for it because they dont properly explain it in the film but then I was doing some research on it and then I found out that in film canon there was a climate disaster which wiped out over half of the worlds population and thats why theres not as many ships,

BUT I CANT BLOODY WRITE THAT PLOTPOINT BECAUSE THE WALL E'S IN MY FIC ARE HUMAN SO THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN WIPED OUT TOO IF THERE WAS A CLIMATE DISASTER

godddd why've I decided to make this fic more complicated than it needs to be its literally Silly Red dwarf guys but Silly Wall E robots, I dont know why ive done this to myself wtf

Anyway I'm probably gonna try and ignore that plothole and let it sit in a corner while I continue to write lolll

#jesus christ it makes me want to rip out my hair #and I've added all these silly little plotpoints which weren't in the original film as well so its all complicated now #and every chapter i write I go - holdon does this even work #and then have to come up with a workaround #like how i had to come up with Lister getting into the ship because I couldn't just have him hanging onto the outside of it like in the fil #cause he'd die #theres so much in the film that works because they are robots #like the fucjing 'Define Dancing' scene #the most iconic one in the whole goddamn film #which I have to come up with a workaround for cause I still wanna write that scene cause I love it so much #but I cant just do it like in the film cause Wall E gets sent into space in the escape pod which he blows up (idiot <3)#and I cant just blow up Lister and then have him zoom around in space without a space suit #dude would die #Why did I do this to myself #Tip guys #dont ever write an AU with human characters based off a film with robot characters #because its a bloody nightmare #THERES A REASON THAT THEY ARE ROBOTS APPARENTLY #so they can do all this funky flying around in space stuff without worrying about goddamn dying #screaming crying throwing up #why did I have to get comitted and obsessed with THIS idea specifically omgggggg #red dwarf wall e au #red dwarf #rimster #my posts
