thinking of how long Rimmer was away from Lister and the others while he was off being Ace Rimmer and how that is almost nothing compared with the amount of time he spent on Rimmerworld locked in a cell completely alone for hundreds of years

it’s really brushed off so quickly how long he was stuck there with absolutely nothing but the stress balls. Completely alone for so long with little reason to believe he’ll actually be rescued. I just. Fuck, man…

#Idk how many years passed for Rimmer specifically on his travels bc it could pass very differently for him than it does the rest of them #But he was probably away for a good few years at least #But I don’t think he’s be able to keep it up for so long that it lasts the equivalent of even a fraction of the time he spent on rimmerworl #in many ways no one was better suited for that loneliness bc he’s been on the outside and metaphorically on his own his whole life #he’s more used to his own company and not being wanted and being turned away and shut out #so he focused on the stress balls and completely zoned out for like 600+ years #until the others finally found him after what was little more than an hour or so for them #He bounced back a little too quickly after at first forgetting their names but like. What the fuck does that kind of isolation do to you
