JUST in time to celebrate the one-month anniversary of The Promised Land, I think.
Title: The Dance
Fandom: Red Dwarf
Characters: All the main smegheads but mostly Lister and Rimmer
Summary: A coda to The Promised Land, in which conversations are had.
(Shippy, but honestly not much more than the show is at this point)
Read it on AO3, or:

May the Fourth/Force be with us all. If this was a normal year I would be at a Star Wars party tonight, but it isn’t a normal year.
There’s also an extent to which I feel I’m not really in Star Wars fandom anymore. I haven’t watched the end of the Clone Wars or any of The Mandalorian, as good as they look, and I’m sure the new unknown film will be good as well (my gut is saying maybe it’s a Boba Fett/Mandalorian related movie?), but I don’t have the spark of “new thing!!!” I used to get when big Star Wars stuff dropped. And that’s fine! I’ll always love Star Wars. The prequels were my childhood, or a huge part of it, and that was before May 4 was even called what it is now. I hope today’s kids are having a blast this Star Wars Day, even in lockdown.
This time last year three years ago Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 was released in the UK. I didn’t know at the time what a HUGE impact it would have on me, but here we are!
Still one of my favourite movies in the universe, three years on.
On this day last year, Avengers: Endgame came out. I saw it in a theater with a bunch of other cheering fans, a situation I’ve never really been in before, and it was so much fun.
Loki got the biggest cheer of all (there was one group of dudes who seemed to be big Loki fans), I cheered for Gamora because heck if Loki’s getting a cheer she gets one too, everyone went nuts when Cap caught the hammer, when the Black Panther crew appeared and at “Assemble!”
I know not everyone likes cheering in a cinema, but it was really honestly quite electrifying for me.
Thank you to this weird, surreal, beautiful show.
I hear there’s going to be an announcement today about more Adventure Time (maybe the planned sequel series, or a movie?) and I cannot wait. I’ll always love spending time in that world.
This day ten years ago The Eleventh Hour aired and I met Amy Pond for the first time. To this day she is not popular, but I love unpopular women.
Happy anniversary to Amy, the reckless, violent, messed-up, anxiety-laden, so very dear companion of my heart.
Hopefully this isn’t too many gifs. I would’ve made a video outta this but honestly I have no idea how to do split-screen in a video, so…
I love both these animation styles.
Today is Tolkien Reading Day, and also the day (Middle Earth-wise) that the One Ring was destroyed. I’ve seen people sharing Tolkien quotes today so here, have one of my favourites. Obviously it’s pretty damn applicable these days.
FRODO: I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.
GANDALF: So do all who live to see such times… but that is not for them to decide. All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you.
