They are such fabulous characters, and it's hubris of me to write them after G/N gave them life, but it's so much fun.
We never actually see him switch in canon, that I know of - Legion turns him off and then turns him on, so it's not really a changeover. That time and the time he was 'rebooted' in Gunmen, there was this mwuuaaauuummmmmm... noise, and I figgered a minor version of that would work for the swap, too. I just love the idea of the uniform change from hard to soft light. I dunno why, but I find that idea of theirs very pleasing.
OMG, the Rs! There are a couple of times when Robert just goes in with the Rs and makes me yelp. He does toss in "idear," too, frequently. Thanks for the "haitch" - easy change. I read your journal entries on the difference in reaction to accents with interest (just have nothing constructive to add to them).
I don't think even canon-Rimmer would panic, although he would be uncomfortable. I mean, putting your hand on a guy's inner thigh is not a gesture of platonic mateship, but Rimmer was more bemused than freaked when Lister did it in Terrorform. And let's face it - his low wanted to have Lister, and his high babbled love poetry at him... :D
Or a computer monitor.
Oh, I so wanted them to have hotsteamysex, but Rimmer's not ready yet...
