Remey LeBeau x half demon reader

A/N: Hope this was okay for your request! <3 Pairing: Remy LeBeau x half-demon gn!Reader

The neon lights of New Orleans cast an eerie glow on the rain-slicked streets. Remy LeBeau, a man as slippery as the night itself, navigated the shadows with a grace born of years on the run. His past, a tangled web of deceit and survival, clung to him like a phantom. But tonight, the weight of it felt heavier.

He found solace in a dimly lit bar, a haven for the city’s outcasts. It was here he first saw you, a creature of twilight with eyes that held the depths of mystery. There was an otherworldly quality about you, a hint of something feral beneath the veneer of human.

Remy was drawn to you like a moth to flame. You shared a language of shadows, a silent understanding of what it meant to be an outsider. You were half-demon, a relic of a forgotten age, haunted by the sins of your lineage. Your past was a tempestuous sea, filled with storms you couldn’t control.

One night, as you sat across from each other, the city’s cacophony fading into the background, you spoke. Your voice, like velvet and steel, carried the weight of centuries. "I've killed," you said, your eyes distant. "Innocents, even. To survive." It felt like a weight had been lifted. You'd heard about this Remy LeBeau, and he intrigued you to say the least.

He exhaled a cloud of smoke, pinching the cigarette between his fingers as your words dawned on him. Remy felt a cold shiver run down his spine. He knew the taste of blood, the weight of lives lost. "I've cheated, lied, stolen," he replied, his voice rough. "To live."

"Maybe we have a few things in common then, wouldn't you agree?" You quirked a brow in his direction.

Your confessions hung heavy in the air, a shared burden. Yet, in that moment, the two of you found a strange kind of peace. You were both survivors, scarred and marked by your pasts, but united by an unbreakable bond.

Remy became your safe place and you became his comfort, his peace.

Together, you navigated the treacherous waters of your existence, finding solace in each other's arms. You were a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, proving that even in the darkest corners of the world, love could find a way to bloom.

Your blossoming love story, if one could call it that, was a dangerous gamble, a high-stakes game played against the backdrop of a city that never sleeps. But in the end, it was a bet you were both willing to make.

Don't imagine ducking into the Last Drop about closing time to find it quiet and peaceful for once, the old jukebox still going softly

The oddly inviting scent of old wood, with the faint traces of alcohol, age, and a metallic tinge pulls you further in

Don't imagine looking to see Vander sprawled in a booth, arms across the seat back, his pipe sending wisps of smoke skyward and heavy brow crooked curiously

He rests easily yet powerfully, his posture both vulnerable and intimidating, like a lion or wolf surveying his territory

Those gorgeous steel-blue eyes, the ones you secretly adore, study and entrap you and you find yourself temporarily frozen

"'Aven't seen ya around in a while, love. What brings ya in tonight?"

Don't imagine his voice like honeyed bourbon, deep and smooth but burning through you and sending sparks flying up your spine

You stutter out an apology for coming in so late and whirl to leave but-

"Ey! Where ya goin'? I'm still open, it's pourin' out, and 'sides, I could use the company."

You thank him, trying not to stare as he braces his hands on his knees to stand, the thick muscles of his arms on display

He goes around behind the bar to grab a bottle and two glasses, then returns to the booth, and to your surprise gestures for you to join him

Time passes easily, too quickly as you treasure this, chatting and sipping the liquor, some sort of high-quality stuff, the kind that goes right to your veins

Those veins that are now on fire with how he's gazing at you

When did you two move so close?

Don't imagine him casually putting an arm around you to pull you in fully

"It's gettin' chilly. Why don't ya come 'ere?"

Definitely don't imagine him giving you a devious grin, or reaching out to gently grasp your chin, his large thumb swiping your bottom lip

You feel like you'll burst into flame at this point and you've never wanted something more than the promise those eyes held

"Ya know...I've always liked ya. Was kinda hopin' we'd get a chance like this..."

Don't imagine resting your hand on his face, your heart hammering like a wild thing as you silently all but beg him to do it

Don't imagine his lips meeting yours, that flame roaring to life and you inhale sharply

He tastes faintly of bitter tobacco and the sweet liquor and you've never had something so wonderfully intoxicating

Don't imagine tangling your fingers in his thick, surprisingly soft hair, involuntarily letting out a soft groan as his tongue swipes across yours

He pulls back, cradling your jaw with one hand while the other grasps your thigh, a downright devilish grin on his slightly flushed face

And definitely don't imagine him murmuring, "Well then...now that we're on the same page, where this goes t'night is up to you, darlin'..."

Alfa Romeo Disco Volante by Touring Superleggera 

The Disco Volante is a two-seater Gran Turismo. It is based on the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione coupé with its front-central mounted 4.7 litre V8 engine and a transaxle rear drive with unmodified specifications. Each unit, of which the construction requires 4,000 hours of manual work.The present Disco Volante celebrates the myth of the 1952 style icon. The new design briefing required to blend ingredients as innovation, emotion and aerodynamic properties into a timeless and essential shape.During the development stage, Head of Design Louis de Fabribeckers and his team cooperated with the engineers on an almost daily basis. “We focused on the preservation of the design essence. – says de Fabribeckers – Once the design frozen, we had to understand the manufacturing problems and solve them right away without compromising the design.”In consistency with the car’s design philosophy the interior has a ‘science fiction’ feel to it. Part of this ‘spaceship’ atmosphere was created by elements like the red LED interior light profiles. Also, aeronautics has been the inspiration for parts like the dashboard, instruments and seat adjustment lever.The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione chassis was chosen for its light and rigid structure and its outstanding dynamic properties. Therefore it forms the perfect basis for the coach-built bodywork of the Disco Volante, integrally conserving the rolling chassis and drive train.The Alfa Romeo 8C’s steel space-frame and other structural elements were retained to guarantee torsion stiffness, high performance and the quality standard. The frame members and the central carbon cell remained unchanged. Elements of the underpinning and the body, such as the engine bay and firewall, the windscreen and cowl, the a-pillar and the locks and hinges have been retained too, just as the dashboard and instruments, the pedals and the steering wheel. Parts like doorframes, the roof frame and the c-pillar have been modified to match with the new shape.The layout of a front-central mounted engine, a transaxle transmission and rear-wheel drive offers an optimal weight distribution of 49-51% between the front and rear axles. To ensure excellent handling the front and rear double-wishbone suspension scheme is combined with hub carriers of forged aluminium and additional trailing arms for the rear suspension.The lightweight and compact 4.7 litre V8 engine delivers 450HP and 480Nm peak torque. It is coupled with a six-speed sequential transaxle gearbox with electronic control and paddle-shift gear selection. Together with a limited-slip differential and a state-of-the-art braking system with large diameter, ventilated discs a precise, dynamic and proactive drive is ensured. The Disco Volante can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 4,2 seconds and has a top speed of about 290 km/h (181 mph).

All new and modified components of the Disco Volante have been CAD designed. In this process, which covers feasibility, safety, homologation, aerodynamics and structural analysis, the most advanced IT tools and simulation techniques have been used.

Since torsion stiffness and noise reduction are of critical importance, special attention has been paid to the under-body structure and its elements, like the tubular frames supporting the rear wings and bumper, and the roll bar joining the c-pillars. Other complex design issues were the tailgate hinges, the 3d-cambered door window, and the front wheel covers.

The Disco Volante was then submitted to a CFD aerodynamic study to enhance the airflow and ensure optimal downforce in the rear section. After that, FEM calculations were run to assess resistance and rigidity of all parts subject to homologation.

Touring Superleggera is synonymous with the manufacture of lightweight bodywork. The weight advantage of aluminium is one of the assets of Touring Superleggera’s construction methods. Nowadays however, the craft of hand-beating aluminium panels is combined with the use of carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP). For the Disco Volante, Touring decided to use this combination of aluminium and CFRP. This has been the result of a study conducted to define optimal use of materials for the bodywork in terms of weight, resistance, precision, finish and quality, and ease of repair in case of damage.

The CFRP is used for specific components like the front bumper and grille, the bonnet, the skirts, the boot lid and the integrated rear-window frame. The bonnet and the boot lid are sandwich-built with Nomex filler in-between to obtain a better stiffness/weight ratio and to dampen vibration and noise.

The aluminium panels are hand-beaten using an epoxy mould. Since the inner frames of most parts of the bodywork are made of CFRP, this requires gluing of aluminium on carbon fibre. This technique adds to the rigidity as the glue has structural properties.

The body panels are pre-assembled on a laser measurement platform using a jig. This ensures that the strict tolerance required is respected. After adjustment, the panels are either welded or glued. The body-in-white is then used to preassemble and fit all trim components, brightware and moulding.

One of my many markers of domestication lies on my wrist. My watch. Very professional. High quality leather strap. Dressy. It's decor more than anything else, rarely in the time zone it chugs along to. I wear it for work. Slacks, shirts, ties, loafers, watch. Undershirt and underwear, but no one likes to mention that.

Since I wear it for work, it survives the explosion. It makes it to Paper Street. And for a long time, it still serves its purpose. I get to know when the bus is coming. I get to go to work on time. I get to start fight club on the dot, 2 AM, all of us lined up at the bar like junkies at harm reduction. I am held in the tender embrace of society, nestled in the bosom of knowing exactly how many hours it has been since I last slept, since I last saw something other than a human buttwipe.

And then Tyler says, "The regimenting of time became the first freedom stolen from us by those ancient people, who unknowingly made soap and knowingly damned themselves to the beck and call of the hour, the minute, the several sour seconds spent waiting for their supervisor's next scheduled order. To abandon it is to embrace the day. Embrace the night. To abandon it is to trust yourself, to evolve, to let what matters happen, let the chips fall."

So Tyler and I pin my vintage 5000 dollar watch to the kitchen doorframe. It has a mechanical movement, automatic. Days pass. Without my wrist beating blood and life into it, it winds down until it stops.

We've killed time.

We drown it in a viking funeral solution of lye, because the old Seamasters weren't even water resistant. Tyler remembers lye doesn't corrode stainless steel unless heated, and we start a dumpster fire out of plastic bags in the backyard. Human fat is a wonderful accelerant. We toss it in, and I start to wake up with the sun, I start to come in late to work.

could we get more information about PJ he’s really cool c:

sure i posted about him a few days ago but it’s probably buried by now, full thing under the read more so it doesnt take up dash space also reposted the only art i have of him belowwww

Pj’s full name is Pj parker and he is “silk weaver” a spiderman that doesn’t go by spiderman, he’s based on furry silk orb spiders and he shoots natural webs directly from underneath his finger nails, these webs r razor sharp and strong as steel, he doesn’t know this at the start but he has the ability to soften and harden his web, and this ability is tied to his stability and emotional state

pj is from an abusive household / is poor in a really bad school and thinks very little of himself and has bad anxiety, the first few times he uses his webs he’s unable to make them anything but razor sharp and solid often leading to him harming ppl hes trying to help accidentally or causing a lot of property damage, hes interested fashion and design and enjoys sewing and wants to make a sustainable/ high quality clothing brand one day but can’t afford fashion school, so hes an unpaid intern for a big new york fashion brand and essentially works in a sweat shop and stays there long hours after school to avoid his mother, he’s in denial about being gay and acts hyper masculine at school and with his “friends” and is very quiet / goes mute often

his suit has metal claws / nails with an opening underneath them to allow him to shoot his web comfortably, and his version nyc is colder than usual and snows / rains heavy a lot year round so his suit has a half fur coat top to keep his upper body warm, there are also multiple pockets hidden with the fur to hold important items, in suit hes more talkative and is more of a grey vigilante compared to other spidermen bc he does kill some of his opponents depending on what they’ve done, he likes riding on top of subway trains for fun and sketches the city view a lot / people he sees on the train or walking around for fashion inspiration

also the scar / gash across his face is from the night he got bit, he accidentally shot his razor web at himself and split his cheek / nose / eyebrow open so a lot of the early story he wears multiple bandages going up his face, his “aunt may” is a retired drag queen who he meets accidentally on the subway on his way home from his intern job, she sees his drawing of outfits and compliments them and gives him her card to her boutique / bar, she used to design clothes for top brands herself but was black listed after coming out as trans (she is nonbinary and identified as both man and woman but when she started presenting feminine her career started to tank) now she takes care of lgbt ppl in the city, host clothing drives, and owns the building to her bar always offering a place to stay for people like pj

she knows he’s gay but wants him to figure it out on his own terms, shes the first person he runs to the night he’s bitten and she patches him up and promises to keep his secret, aaaand that’s all i got so far

tldr: scrawny poor weird gay kid dreams of being a fashion icon and gets forced into heroism

Landsknecht Emporium – Gustav Messer with Light Brown Scabbard – Beechwood Grip

Landsknecht Emporium’s Gustav is a shorter, yet wide-bladed Messer in the style of the late 15th and early 16th century; the design takes its features from several related antique Messers coupled with extant period depiction. One of the most characteristic blades for a Messer,  it has a short, yet wide blade with an elegant clip point. The sharp and well tempered blade is hand-ground from 6150/51crv4 high carbon steel and is ideal for powerful, close-quarters chops and vicious slices.

The guard with knuckle bar is crafted from mild steel and the Nagel is a separate piece peened on the other side of the quillon block, as it should be. The quillons are slid upward from the end of the grip with the blade protruding in the bottom. The tang is peened over the steel pommel plate. The handcrafted grip is crafted from two halves of polished Beechwood which are robustly riveted to the thick blade tang for a durable and lasting grip construction.

The sword is paired with a wood core scabbard which is tightly bound in leather and completed with a knotwork-attached suspension of a leather belt with a bronze buckle with brass tongue.

Landsknecht Emporium products aim to have the aesthetics of historical pieces, not the finish of mass-produced items. Each product bears the signs of its making; small tool marks and imperfections, which do not affect the build quality or usability but give each of our pieces its unique character.

WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER EFFIE PSA!!!

This time, mimic care! Now- this may be surprising to some people, but I have a pet mimic, and a rowdy one at that. His name is Chester Duncan Virens, and he takes the form of a blue polka-dot bowl filled with popcorn! I think I have a picture somewhere…

THERE HE IS!!! Look at my precious boy!

Thing is with mimics, they can be very tricky to train. Transitioning out of that craving-humanoid-flesh phase is difficult, but here are some tips and tricks I learned!

1. slowly introduce alternative foods: Chester gets hungry easily, and tends to lunge at anything with flesh. I have found that by offering other meats like jerky and rat snacks distracts him and takes him away from whatever he’s targeting. Bonus points if you put it on some wheels- mimics love to hunt!

2. chew toys!!!: Mimics are biters, and Chester attack anything that he feels threatened by. This leads to holes in clothes, furniture, and even your own flesh! Not fun. When your mimic is feeling bite-y, other a chew toy made of bone, rubber, or any other sturdy material. You can even stuff it with snacks for some enrichment.

3. correct bad behavior: Mimics don’t know what you like or dislike unless you tell them. Correcting bad behavior can be tricky, ESPECIALLY if you have a mischievous lad. What I’ve used with Chester are different tones. Soft voices and pets for good behavior, stern voice for bad behavior. You can even use some mimic-spray if you really need your mimic to stop doing something (it just scares them, but use sparingly)

4. spend time with your mimic: a mimic has to get used to you, and best way to do that is to spend time with them! If your mimic is still bite-y, try sitting outside their cage and slowly offering your hand to sniff. Gloves and armor may be needed.

5. Containment: if your mimic is a bit of an escape artist, finding the proper cage is important. Reinforced steel bar cages are strong enough to withstand a mimic’s jaws. Having fences with these bars is good too, mimics gotten get fresh air! If you wanna take your mimic for a walk, make sure you get a high quality collar with a chain leash. A mimic may be used to you, but they are still bite-y around others

Befriending a mimic is a tough but rewarding journey. Everyone can have their own ways for taming a mimic, these are just things that have worked for me! There might even be a time where your mimic doesn’t need a cage or a leash! They can be loyal companions and protectors if you can gain their trust.

Scans from Railway Archive No. 19's print of "The H.L. Hopwood Collection 1901-1926 Part 2: The Furness Railway at Barrow in 1902"

Scanned these primarily for @angryskarloey, but posting them here along with some very basic explanations of the engine classes seen.

Original scans as pdfs available upon request.

Harold Hopwood was a rail photographer. He seems to have been particularly Useful for nabbing high-quality images of endangered railway engines. (You should get a load of how often RA managed to use the words "antiquated," "elderly," and "anachronistic" in the ~1000 words dedicated to its write-up and captions.)

Below Mr. Hopwood takes us on a day trip to Barrow Dockyards in the summer of 1902.

Just to orient the general reader: The original Bury Copper-Nobs are not pictured because three of them were gone and No. 3 was in storage, still awaiting the construction of a glass house.

However, have you heard of... Fairbairn Copper-Nobs?

The Furness Bury bar-frame engines were already so dated on arrival that, eight years later when the F.R. wanted to purchase more, Bury was out of business. To a normal railway this might be a sign to gracefully move with the times. But this is the F.R., lol. They knew what they liked, and Fairbairn's had inherited the blueprints, so Fairbairn's built them a total of 8 more from 1854-1861.

F in the chat for the two poor engines built to this design in 1861. I mean there's nothing inherently wrong with it—witness their useful 40+-year careers—but they definitely never got to be fashionable, lol.

The Fairbairn bar-frame engines were different from the original Burys in various small technical respects that are all too boring to get into (bit bigger and stronger, mostly). The most visible difference is the splashers—as one can see above, the Fairbairns had closed splashers with a handsome brass detail that RA calls "beading."

(The "closed splashers" probably mean you can actually get from the footplate to the buffers without hopping down to the ground, walking, and then hauling yourself back up again. Which is very useful for rail-sanding. Especially in tunnels.)

After Fairbairn's went out of business, the F.R. applied for its new 0-4-0 goods engines from Sharp and Stewart. However, S. & S. produced them from its own coppernob-less, bar-frame-less design, like the COWARDS they were—

Eight of this class were added to F.R. stock over the course of the 1860s. The preserved engines 20 and 25 are of this class, being of the six who were sold to Barrow Hematite Steel Company and rebuilt as saddletank engines between 1870-1873. The above picture shows one of the remaining two, No. 28, the youngest of its class.

The caption observes that 28 does not appear to have any lining. This would make No. 20's current paint job technically inaccurate, but who cares? She deserves it.

Here's a change of pace! There's a lot going on in this picture: a close-up of the tracks (TIL that this is called inside-keyed track), a flatbed, a little old tar tanker, some cattle trucks, and a Sharp 0-4-0ST, presumably built in 1874.

The caption claims that there is a great mystery as to why the engine's buffer appears to carry the number 4 instead of 94, but I think the answer is pretty obvious. She deliberately lost the 9 so that she could pay tribute to her old friend and mentor No. 4, at this point only a couple of years scrapped and its number unceremoniously handed to some new-fangled 0-6-0 who didn't appreciate it.

There is a good bit of discussion (both published and internet) about whether 94 is carrying a special hose as firefighting equipment. I can shed no light on the matter but I certainly prefer to think that she is.

Because it's more fun that way.

A 2-4-0 for ya! No. 58, est. 1871. There seem to me to be several questionable claims in the caption: 1) This is the only place I've seen it claimed that the Bury 0-4-0s were anywhere near regular passenger traffic as late as 1871 (I think RA just forgot the 2-2-2WTs existed), and 2) Given the mention of a new locomotive shed nearby (hey wait is this the same one whose roof D5714 would torch 60+ years later? lol but i'm really asking), I would not be so fast to assume 58 was awaiting shunting duty rather than a passenger train.

I'm going to go ahead and assume this source is right about everything, though. Laughing at the bit that's like yeah, you might think ol' 58 here looks to be in pretty fine nick, but if this were in Scotland in the same era the smokebox hinge and buffers would ALSO be burnished. Just sayin'!

This is an 0-6-0 "Sharpie" from 1866. I don't have much else to say that the caption doesn't: They're cuties, and the location here is close to the original Barrow station (which is where passengers used to have to terminate, before they built Barrow Central).

Below, for our final exhibit, is a map. Study carefully. There will be a test.

... I was lying, pfftttt. My eyes start swimming in my head the moment I examine it.

Session Summary: Preparations

Next morning after the celebrations, Ferenir doesn't remember anything after he got drunk, which is rare for him (but I rolled a 3,4,5 and Nat1, so fuck me), but he decided to have a shower and fix the bed he apparently broke during the night, which he does successfully. Then, until the others woke up, he decided to play and spend some time with Booby, and got the idea to teach him to read, since the slime has shown signs of high intelligence.

After an introduction into the alphabet and Booby showing a small sign of evolving, they are interrupted by the party gathering to discuss their preparations. Ferenir will take care of their equipment, and Aramil and Horny will look for information.

The party separates, and Ferenir visits Bertrand, the city blacksmith and now friend...who has finished the dragonborn's order. Ferenir had gathered powerful materials in his travels, the fangs of Shadowfang, a powerful magical beast they found dead in their first mission, the spine of a giant, and his own very hammer as a base. He had commissioned Bertrand to make a weapon like no other, and the blacksmith did not disappoint.

He presented to Ferenir Umbra Fang, a two handed, large, spiked hammer, with the ability to transform to a flail at will, through the giant's spine extending with the aid of magical mithral. Apart from that quality, Umbra Fang does additional damage due to the fangs used as spikes, with the ability to release a wave of necrotic energy a few times per day. As if that wasn't enough, once per day, Ferenir can channel the giant's might and increase his strength for a limited duration.

A truly gorgeous weapon fitting a legendary warrior, now laying in Ferenir's hands. As he provided all of the material, Bertrand wants only a small price for the work, but Ferenir additionally offers him his dragon crystal blade in a trade.

Leaving the man to rest, Ferenir takes over the smithy, and spends the majority of the day smelting the adamantine of his shield and using it to restore his armor, the one that belonged to the ancient paladin whose undead body they defeated in a tomb, to its original glory.

Done with that, he bought new and improved armors for Aramil and Horny, aiming to improve their defenses....he will protect them, of course he will, but he knows very well that nothing protects a person better than good old steel. And he will be damned before he loses a friend with his hands down.

Speaking of the devil, the two pass by the smithy and the party meets up, where the other two wear their new gear and inform Ferenir that they need to visit the Church, where the cultists had attempted to steal an artifact. The priestess refuses to cooperate with the guards....and our only hope is Horny, for who the priestess has expressed....strong desires for, much to the poor man's dismay and disgust.

Alas, sacrifice for the greater good, no? So, they all head to the church, Horny enduring the constant laughs and teasing of the shitheads he calls friends, until they are stopped by two large priests blocking the way. They allow Horny to enter, as he is a....'chosen' of the priestess, but they bar the entry to the other two. And most importantly, when Ferenir tells them politely that he is there to 'pray to the gods, as this is the only church in town, so they should kindly fuck off', they make the mistake to hit him with the threatening "Excuse me? What did you just say?" Possibly the worst choice and tone of words one could ever use.

Ferenir feels a vein pop in his head, and walking up to them, picks immediately a fight about how they deny entry to the faithful, go against their duties as priests and defile holy ground, threatening to report them immediately to the authorities..or worse. The nat20 on that roll helps the priests maintain their physical wellbeing by backing off from arguing with the pissed off dragonman, and the Misfits enter the church together...
