When you draw an alien but then remember that Red Dwarf doesn’t have aliens, you put it in a suit and say it’s a simulant. Smooth.

How the flip have I never seen that before?
And if I *have* seen it before, why the flip don’t I remember seeing it before?

My brain is frazzled so I couldn’t read anything properly, but … Shrek?! I mean, not quite, with the ears, but that’s all my brain can see right now ????

Between Nanarchy and BITR has got to be the most misguided point to set Red Dwarf fan fiction.
