Remy LeBeau x Autistic Reader

I don't think any disability or neurodivergence would deter his charismatic spirit.

Remy doesn't mind your quirks and special interests.

He'll listen to you go on for hours about your new favorite hyperfixation. He will most definitely sit through every hour long slide show on your new favorite piece of media, only butting in to ask questions.

He definitely felt bad the first time he scared you with his mutation. When he first met you, he tried to impress you with a fiery hot pink explosion. He didn't know the noise would frighten you.

Nowadays, Remy always gives you a heads up on when he's gonna explode something.

He is always the king of naming things. Bring him a stuffed animal or figurine without one and within seconds he will have found the perfect title.

This also goes for when he forgets the names of certain behaviors you have.

"Mon chére, why are you... What are ya conundrum-ing about?"

In English, he was trying to figure out why you were stimming.

On another note, he had a terrible memory (probably due to all those lobotomies...)

And you tell him to remember something for you and you will never hear it again. He won't even remember if it was written on his face.

He will have to set a timer/reminder on something to remind himself what you had told him to remind you. It's a whole thing

Despite his forgetful memory, he remembers all your favorite things, like your favorite color, show, animal, ect

And Remy still loves to get you things. Occasionally "Getting" something from somewhere for you to play or fidget with. If it's something really important to either you or him, he'll buy it

"It reminded Gambit of his favourite Belle mutante..." Remy purred against your ear as his slipped a mysterious trinket into your open hands. When you looked down, peeking at it. You saw it was a soft fuzzy mochi toy of your favourite animal.

Remy also struggles to read the room, often cracking a joke at an inappropriate time. So that he can't help much with either.

But he can read you well. Even if you aren't speaking. He's able to tell if you're uncomfortable or confused.

Over all, Remy tries his damn hardest to make you feel welcomed and happy at the X-Mansion and wherever you go with him. He doesn't mind your quirks or behaviors. He's just happy you're you and with him. 💜 🃏🖤

Harringrove Lovefest: Spaghetti and Meatballs

For the 13th, I decided to finally add to the Kids Rainbow Connections AU I started to write last year, inspired by @ratbastardbilly's amazing Rainbow Connection drawing. This time Steve is sad that Billy isn't allowed to come to his house for dinner. Well, if Billy can't come to the dinner, then the dinner will come to Billy ^^

"Come on sweetie….it's your favourite."

Steve looked down at his plate and sulked, arms firmly crossed. Bottom lip stuck out over his top one. A scowl on his face which drew his eyebrows into a tight 'V' shape. It was his favourite, his mom was right. But that wasn't why he was angry, or refusing to eat. It wasn't why he was sat here in silent protest. He was angry at Billy's parents. Billy was supposed to be here and he wasn't, because they wouldn't let him come. And now he didn't want the meatballs because he wasn't hungry.

"Eat your dinner Steve."

"Billy should be here."

His mom sighed and looked over at his dad who just shook his head in disappointment and continued to eat his food. No excuses, said his look to her. Their son was going to eat.

"No ice cream for you or Kermit if you don't eat your spaghetti. And two meatballs."

This was his dad being reasonable; there were four big meatballs on his plate. But it wasn't nice saying Kewmit couldn't have ice cream. He was being good. Steve hated it when his dad was mean to Kewmit too. He did that every time Steve did something he didn't like. It wasn't fair!

So Steve had no choice. He started on the meatballs first. Made with love by his mom as was the tasty tomato sauce which the spaghetti and meatballs sat in. Did Billy's mom make him things like this? Did she stand in the kitchen in an apron, looking out the window as she passed meat from hand to hand? Steve knew Billy really liked fish because he always chose fish fingers over anything else at school. But he knew little else about Billy's home life. He didn't talk about it. He clearly loved his mom a lot though and did talk about her a lot.

Two meatballs eaten and Steve had an idea! If Billy couldn't come here to eat the spaghetti, then…

"MOM!"

"Not with your mouth full!" his dad scolded, putting his knife and fork before and going to clean his son up, who had sprayed sauce down his chin. "Swallow then speak son."

"Yes Steve?" his mom said.

"Can I take Billy some spaghetti to school in my Kewmit box?"

She looked at his dad who just shrugged whilst straightening up Steve's tiger onesie hood and cleaning up the splatter from his son's face.

"Yes we can Steve! That's a wonderful idea."

She knew how upset he was about Billy, had seen his little face crease up in the car as he'd tried not to cry, He'd been good in front of Billy and his mom, made it look like it didn't bother him. But it did and later he'd cuddled into her as he'd sobbed about it. Billy had looked blank but Steve's mom wondered if he was just trying to put a face on like her son had.

She'd only sighed before because she knew how stubborn Steve could be and he hadn't been like this for a while. He'd been so good recently.

Steve smiled, a small clap as he looked over at Kermit, a plastic imitation of their meal in front of him on a small toy place. His dad was now back in his seat, happy that his son was back to clean and tidy.

"Leave some of that too please Kewmit. For Animal." When Monday came, Steve was excited. He ran to the car, Kewmit box bouncing against his leg as he jumped up to pull the door open. Climbing up and getting himself and Kerwit settled in their matching car seats. His mom smiled at her son's eagerness, locking up and putting her key in her bag. His son's happiness was infectious; she wished she could be there to see Billy's face at lunch when the two boys ate together. She'd packed him two sets of plastic knives and forks from his Muppets set and put the plastic food in a small box. This was all in Steve's little backpack and this is what he was now thinking about. Miss Summer let them sit on one of the blankets if they promised to not leave a mess. But spaghetti was messy, so they couldn't use the blanket, They could use the plastic table outside the playhouse instead. He would ask Miss Summer. Maybe they could have juice boxes too if they were really good. He liked the juice boxes at school as did Billy. And Animal really liked the juice boxes; he did a funny little dance which made Steve giggle and kick his tiger feet. ---At nearly lunch time--- "Mom made spaghetti."

"That's nice," Billy said, a small smile as he put away the cars. "Mom made fish fingers."

"We never have fish fingers," Steve sighed, closing the cupboard and looking over at Billy. "Mom doesn't cook things out of boxes." Billy wished his mom would cook things like Steve's mom did. That would be nice, but she didn't at the moment. Not enough time and Billy had noticed how tired his mom was. He knew the real reason why she didn't cook. It was then that he realised Steve had left the playhouse and was now outside, setting the table. Plastic knives and forks and plates like they're going to eat. Billy wanted to tell him it's not dinner time, but then Animal, who liked to look at everything, pointed to the clock. It was dinner time! Steve had also got juice boxes, which made Billy and Animal so excited. Steve was the best! He always thought about him and Animal as well as himself and Kermit. As soon as Steve opened the lid on his favourite lunchbox, Billy's eyes were a picture and Steve was so happy to see his best friend's face light up. Steve giggled and watched as Billy and Animal slowly took their seats, eyes still on the spaghetti and meatballs.

"Is that…"

"Yep. It's for us to share. You couldn't come to my house so I bwing the spaghetti to you. Mom said I could."

"You're the best Steve!" Billy wiggled a little in his seat as Steve put the lunchbox in the middle of the table so both of them could get the spaghetti. Meatballs too! Four, one for each of them. And their favourite juice boxes. Billy was so happy and as he picked up his plastic knife and fork, he smiled so happily at Steve. Steve really was the best and Billy was glad that he'd talked to him in the sandbox. He was glad Steve was his best friend and that Kermit was Animal's.

"Let's eat!"

Good morning, So here’s my new Kreation that I’ve been working on a Mini Kuddle Kid. I have been wanting to sculpt these for awhile now but I thought it would be too hard that small, but I think I mastered it. PLEASE PLEASE let me know what you think with a comment below because I want to sculpt a lot more of these with all kinds of outfits, like my larger Kuddle Kids. Would do you all like that? I decided to leave this one in her Birthday suit because I thought it was cute that way, just like a little newborn baby. She’s the first Mini Kuddle Kid and I named her Thumbelina. Thumbelina loves all kinds of flowers. She especially love the ones that have beautiful scents. If you’d like to make Thumbelina yours she’s now in my *S*H*O*P*. Link in profile. Have a Terrific Thursday.(((BigHugs)))🙂💖🌼 #kimmiesclaykreations #polymerclay #polymerclayart #polymerclayartist #artist #figurine #sculpture #miniature #collectibles #toycollector #toycollection #artoy #toyart #toydesign #artsandcrafts #toycommunity #artdoll #kuddlekid #kuddlekids #baby #babies #babydoll #babydolls #dollbaby #dollbabies #doll #dolls #dollcollector #dollcollection #ilovedolls https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp2fRypuOw_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Macho Man...

Gambit/Remy LeBeau x male reader

Handjob, semi-public, dirty talk, Top Gambit, cum eating (?) (I suck at tagging shit)

With the appearance of a cocky new X-Men, of course rumors were to come about. The only issue is when those rumors have to do with an already existing Cajun member. Even worse if they are false accusations of his private life...

The inability to sleep plagued many X-Men, even in the comfort of the dorms at the X-Mansion. You were no exception, and even despite it being around one thirty a.m. you still couldn't sleep, wide awake but tired. And it didn't help that you were completely parched. So you promptly pushed yourself out of bed, it wasn't like you were going to get to sleep soon anyhow.

You tried your best to Quietly pad down the hall and then the stairs to the kitchen. You really didn't want to wake anyone, or disturb others who were still awake. You looked around the kitchen when your feet finally hit the cold wood of the floor. A simple cup of water should do the trick and solve the problem of your dry throat. You tried to quickly open the cupboard and retrieve a soft red plastic cup. Most and widely considered all of the cups were plastic or something simple since glass was so easily broken by other mutants. You yourself and even had to learn that the hard way. It was like a right of passage, an unpleasant one. You just filled the red cup with water from the tap, not really caring how good or healthy it was for you at that moment. And decided to throw a few ice cubes in because why not? You filled the tray back up, sliding it into its place in the freezer before finally taking a nice long refreshing sip from your cup. And while it may have just been tap water in a plastic bag with a few ice cubes, it was the most refreshing thing you had in hours. And the tiles of the kitchen also kept the area cool.

A hum from the other side of the kitchen startled you, almost spilling the water in the red plastic cup in your hands. “Mon chére, Good to see you here… I needed to talk t' ya anyway.” A smooth Cajun accent cooed. A shiver ran down your spine, you knew what he was talking about. Being a newer X-Men meant you wanted to make a name for yourself (pun intended). So why disrupt the rumor that you were topping the charismatic Louisiana man? But it wasn't such a good idea to agree and add to those rumors, now was it? The dim light from above the sink aluminates Remy’s form. He was dressed in next to nothing, which was understandable due to the heat, seemingly only sweatpants he cut just above the knee himself. You could even see his hair shine a little with sweat, and it added a glossy shine to the rest of his visible skin, your eyes trailed over his body. “What’s wrong, Macho Man? Don't think ya can handle little ol' Gambit, anymore?” He cooed mockingly as he cornered you against the kitchen island. “Remy…” His name came out as barely a breath. “That was just…” You paused, unsure if you should double down or just give up. You took a deep breath, straightening up and puffing out your chest a little. “It's not like I couldn't handle you. I could fuck you brainless if I wanted to.” You shot back confidently, a grin tugging at your lips now. Remy tilted his head at your cocky demeanor, but the Cajun was always two steps ahead. “Then give it a go, (Name)... Come on, I'm sure ya could handle me.” He backed you against the quartz kitchen island too, the edge dug into the flesh of your hips, rubbing uncomfortably against the bone there.

You hadn't expected what came next, most because you were what was about to cum. (I couldn't resist a play on words) Remy’s hands, rough from years of thievery, dealing cards, and training with the X-Men reached down, and gave your cock a quick squeeze through your thin night shorts. You let out a loud involuntary moan, quickly made embarrassed and terrified someone might've heard and woke up. “Not so confident now, are we, Petit (Name)..?” Remy said with a cocky and arrogant tone. Your hand went down to grip his wrist as he kept stroking you through your pants. You bite your lips, to keep quiet, not wanting to be caught. Now the pressure from being pushed up against the island seemed forgotten. He leaned in closer, his warm bare chest now pressing against yours. Remy’s hot breath was fanning across your already flushed skin. “Admit it, you're a whore for Remy’s touch. You need someone to guide you.” He growled huskily against the flesh of your ear, nipping at the skin under your ear. His pace sped up and your grip on him tightened. Pathetic whimpers escaped from your clenched lips. It wasn't the type of noise you were proud of. Not the type of noise a dominant man would make. “God damn you, Rem...” You cursed him in a moan, your hips bucked against his hand. “Ah, chere… What's wrong? Cat got your tongue? I thought you were the one makin’ Gambit lose his breath?” He cooed sarcastically into your ear, his hot breath fanning over the sensitive skin. You throbbed in his firm grip, almost cumming undone as the pad of his thumb swiped over the sensitive skin of your tip. "You gonna come undone for the man you're s'posed to be toppin'?" Remy's accent rasped against the flushed skin of your ear. The hot knot in the bottom of your stomach snapped as your cock twitched, the thick white liquid spewing from your reddened tip. "Remy, yo- Goddamn it!" You cursed him, knowing if anyone else was awake they had heard you. But you were quickly distracted as your body felt like static and you were thankful Remy had you pinned up against the counter. Your nails had dug deeply into the warm flesh of Remy's strong bicep. And you could barely let go as your vision came back. Remy chuckled cruelly, well you knew it wasn't cruel but it felt so after the cocky just made you cum your brains out. "You're good for a midnight snack..." He hummed sensually as he brought his cum covered fingers to his lips. His pink tongue peeked out from his lips, and ran over his fingers, collecting the salty white liquid on his tongue as shallowing it. If you hadn't just cum, you might've gotten hard again immediately. "You couldn't have just..." You paused, taking a moment to catch your breath. "Just told everyone you were a top? You had to ring me out?" You managed to pant out. This only made the Cajun man grinned. "Well for that sass, maybe I'll just finish myself off, mr (Name)..." Remy cooed, making you look down to the outline of his boner. You felt a little guilty for forgetting the pleasure of your boyfriend but he had also just cleared your mind of any thoughts. "Please, Remy..." You pleaded, you needed that cock to milk your prostate. You had basically given up your macho act. "Maybe if you beg some more, Gambit will think 'bout it..." He purred sensually against your ear, pulling your still clenched hand to ghost over his chubbed cock. You knew tonight was going to be long and hot. Maybe you should goat more often....

I knew I couldn't leave England without getting one of the new @sindyplayofficial Sindy dolls by Kids Kreations so I was pretty excited to find her at Sainsburys. I always knew I was going to get either the Fashion Blogger or the Bakery Sindy since Sindy dolls with darker skin tones is still a rarity I find. But holding both in hand I leaned towards the Sweet Treats one simply because I am a sucker for fantasy hair, I love tiny accessories and her dress looked nicer to me than Fashion Blogger's weird tutu and leggings combination. If Fashion Blogger was as dark, or darker than vintage Gayle, I'd picked her up too but right now I'm happy I got Sweet Treats Sindy. It does surprise me that a Sindy doll that looks so much of her 70s counterpart is an actual product I can buy now brand new, especially since Sindy from the 80s onwards has suffered so many attempts at revamping her appearance to varying degrees of success. And while her body is..... not that well articulated, I do admit it's pretty ballsy for a company to stick with their guns and commit to the vintage look especially when dolls nowadays are racing towards a very different aesthetic. I am shocked that every accessory of hers is fully painted though as I'm so used to certain other dolls having zero details on her stuff. She uses high quality nylon, the same as Rainbow High and Lol Omg dolls and her dress and apron are both really nicely made and finished off well. To be quite honest I was hesitant spending 20 pounds on her but the quality of the doll and accessories makes me glad to have a souvenir of England.

Valentine’s Day: When Kids make Cards

Happy Valentine’s Day!! :3 A little ficlet I decided to write based on the Rainbow Connection Kids AU which I write (which in itself is based on @ratbastardbilly‘s wonderful Rainbow Connection Harringrove drawing). Crafts Day. The Kindergartens had them from time to time, usually on the run up to a big day. Mother's Day, Father's Day. Easter. Christmas. This time it was Valentine's Day, a day in which in most of the books Billy had read was a day where a boy sends a girl to say that he loved her. Then the girl would be happy. Sometimes, the boy would also give the girl a flower or chocolates or even a teddy bear. Sometimes there was also a small man in a diaper who would shoot the girl and boy with a hear arrow. Billy thought that that should hurt but they must be nice arrows. Cos neither of them died.

The teacher though, Miss Summer, said that their card didn't have to go to a girl. That Valentine's Day was for love of all forms. Billy wasn't sure what that meant at first but then she'd said how moms and dads could love each other and how they could also love their children. That made sense to Billy. As did love between friends. Billy had seen many friends who loved each other in books. And then there was love for animals and pets. Billy didn't have any pets but he knew that some of the other kids did and they spoke with so much love about them. He wasn't sure why his books didn't say all of this about Valentine's Day. But his teacher had made this easier for him. Now he wouldn't have to choose a girl in the class to send a card to. There wasn't anyone he loved there and he wouldn't want to upset anyone. Mom said it wasn't nice to do that. Glancing over at Steve next to him, he saw that maybe he was thinking the same thing. Steve wasn't making a card for a girl either. The big wonky sprawled letters of "MOM" going across the page from corner to corner in pink felt tip which was now also covered in glue. Glitter splashed onto the card and table, as dressed in his tiger outfit again, Steve tried to cover the letters in it and got more on the table than anywhere else. " 'Tis pretty Steve," Billy hummed with pride, watching as hands were cupped with some of the table glitter and into the air it went. More going on the card this time. "Thanks!" A loud clap as Steve brushed his hands off and then turned to look at Billy's card. Glitter had also made its way onto Steve's face and Billy giggled. He'd managed to get pink felt tip on his chin too. Billy wasn't sure how. "Yours is too. That your mom?" A small thin finger was pointed at a big stick figure in the centre of Billy's blue card. A stick figure with a skirt made from a triangle of green felt stuck over it. Smiling up at them, her long blonde hair was made from yellow wool, blue eyes of blue sticky gems he'd found in one of the plastic boxes next to them. "Yep," Billy nodded proudly, staring down at his mom happily and then pointing at the smaller stick figure holding her hand. This one had a wonky oval on its other hand and also had blonde hair but scribbled on in marker. It also had a big smile and blue gem eyes. "And 'tis me. That's my surfboard." "Suwfboawd?" "Yes." Another swift nod and then he looked at Steve, the smile still on his face. "For the surf. The waves in the sea." At Steve's look of confusion, Billy started to move his arm as if he was the waves themselves. It didn't seem to help much. Had Steve never seen the sea? Hawkins did seem a long way away. Maybe Steve had never been to California. It would be sad if he hadn't. The beaches were so soft and the water clear and so good for surfing on. Maybe one day he could ask his mom to ask Steve's mom if they could go to California all together. They would be able to make sand castles there too, like they did in the sand pit. Have ice cream. Laugh and play in the sea together. Him and Steve. That made Billy feel really happy. "They get really big sometimes. Mom doesn't let me on them ones. I can surf on the small ones. Really well."

Steve smiled back at him. It seemed like he didn't understand but Billy liked that Steve still listened anyway. Steve also didn't tend to talk much but Billy didn't mind that either. Kermit did talk a bit more though. "Your mom's pwetty." Another nod and Billy puffed his chest up. Yes. She was pretty, and friendly and a very nice mom. She was happy and smiley and everything Billy could ask for in a mom. Looking now at Steve's card, he saw that there wasn't any drawings of Steve's mom on there. He was instead drawing big purple flowers in the spaces not splattered with glitter. "What's your mom look like?" "Pwetty, also blonde hair. Mine is like my dad's." Steve pointed to his own head, and then continued to colour. His fist wrapped around the marker as he scribbled in the circles, sometimes going outside the lines. "She likes flowews." "That's why you drew them instead of people." "I can't dwaw people." Another look at Billy's card and Steve pointed at it with the marker. A small smile as his eyes looked over it again. "You can." Billy chuckled and then grabbed another piece of card about to show Steve how he could draw people too like he could, but then saw how he pushed his mom card away and grabbed Kermit. Putting him on his least messy hand and then pulling another card over. A green marker went into Kermit's mouth, the cap pulled off. "Whose Kermit making a card for?" A shrug from his friend and a quick "dunno" was the only answer Billy got before Steve seemed to get really stuck into what he was doing. Drawing a wobbly looking frog on the left side of the card, big eyes looking at them before starting to colour the frog in. It was a friendly looking frog, a bit like Kermit and for a while, Billy got lost in just watching Steve. Whose tongue was poking out as he finished the frog and then looked over at him, smiling again. "'Tis a good frog." "Yeah. It's Kewmit!" "Thought so." Then Billy sighed, the smile wobbling a little as he rested his elbows on the table. He wished he could make a card out with a puppet friend. But unlike Steve, he didn't have one and he didn't think his dad would let him, even if he asked. Especially the one who he wanted. "What's wwong Billy?" "Wish I had a muppet to make a card with." A pause and Steve shifted a little closer to Billy, who sighed again and stared at the table. It wasn't fair. He wasn't really allowed the toys he wanted at home. He had to have trucks and cars and things like that, which he liked. But since he'd met Steve, all he'd wanted was a muppet hand puppet. So he could play with Steve. So Kermit could have a friend too. Hearing Steve shuffle next to him, it wasn't until he looked up that he saw that Kermit was now right in front of his face. Being wiggled by his friend, who gently smiled before pointing to Billy's hand. Taking his left one gently and slipping Kermit onto it. "Kewmit says he wants to help you dwaw on the cawd too." Blinking, Billy sucked on his lip and then nodded. It was...so nice of Steve. To see he was so sad about this and then share Kermit like this. He used his other hand to wipe at his eyes and then looked at the ceiling. Thinking. What could he add to the card? There was another space to.... "I know what I wanna draw." "Go fow it! "No more encouragement was needed. Grabbing the pink marker which Steve had used earlier, Billy quickly got to work. One eye, two eyes. He didn't have anything to look at so it had to be from memory. But this Muppet was the one that Billy loved, always grinned at whenever he was on the screen. And soon he could feel Steve bounce around in his seat next to him, hearing the little squeaks of "I know who it is!" and "That's so good Billy!" before he put down the marker. Seeing Steve grab a handful of different colours and start to write something across the top of the card. Soon it became clear on what it was and then Steve got up. The word Friends was now written in bold, colourful and wonky letters above their drawings of Kermit and his friend, Animal. "Fwiends. Me and you. Kewmit and Animal." Nodding at Billy, Steve started to gather the boxes, concentrating on packing away the items. Billy knew he should help him but he was struggling to move. He felt...happy. So, so happy, but also like he was gonna to cry. Happy tears...but not in front of Steve. Steve would think he was sad. So he wiped at his eyes again and gently put Kermit down. Away from markers and glitter. Giggling, Billy gently took the card. Fwiends..his first friendship card. He wanted to keep it, take it home. But it was theirs, not just his and he couldn't be selfish. So beaming, he stood up and offering a hand to his friend, who was easily and fast becoming his best friend, said, "Let's put it in the playhouse. In the window." So they could always see it.
