shades of blue - hal carter x reader

Plot: Loving Hal Carter was all the colours of the rainbow. Especially blue. Pairing: Gardener!Hal Carter x Female!Reader Warnings: Very slight, implied smut with Hal and Reader. It’s blink and you’ll miss it, but still: 18+ only please. Notes: My first Hal Carter fic is here! Thank you to @late-to-the-party-81, who beta read this for me!

Y/N always used to see her life in shades of grey.

Boring.

Then again, that was because she spent every week of her life at country clubs and dinner parties with her stepfather and her mother, both of them searching for a dull, rich husband so Y/N could continue the cycle.

How could it not be boring?

But then, she met her family’s new gardener, Hal Carter, and Y/N’s world became filled with colour, because being loved by Hal was like every colour in the rainbow.

Red was for the excitement of sneaking around behind her family’s back without being caught, because god forbid a rich girl finds love with someone below her standing. It was for the passionate nights they shared, screaming each other's names over and over, not caring who heard them. Red was also the colour that Hal’s cheeks turned when Y/N walked past him wearing a sundress exposing just the right amount of skin. It was also the colour of lipstick she wore the first time he took her out on a date…that also ended up covering Hal’s cheeks and neck.

Orange and yellow were for the sunny days she spent in the garden, watching Hal as he worked. They were for the afternoons spent laying together amongst the grass and flowers, spending time in each other’s presence as the sun warmed their skin and bones. And those colours signified the happiness Y/N and Hal felt when they could be together. Together, both were free to be in love with each other. With Hal, she could be herself without fear of judgement from her family or peers.

Similarly, green was for the garden, one of Hal’s favourite places to be. Green was also for the flowers Hal gave her, bouquets of different varieties and sizes filling her room, all full of colour. Just like the life Hal gave to her.

Pink was for her and Hal’s romantic love, and the compassion and reassurance they gave to each other. Y/N promised Hal that she loved him despite his inability to provide for her as much as her rich peers could. Hal told her she was worth more than how her family treated her. Pink was for the soft kisses Hal gave her on her cheeks, nose and lips. And it was for the promises he gave her - he’d take her away from this life, and that they’d live happily together forever.

Black was the colour of the night sky that she and Hal were under when they had to say goodbye before her family came home. Both of them tried to draw out more time with the other, even though they knew doing so could result in them being caught. But neither of them cared. Black was the colour of many of her elegant evening gowns. The same ones that Hal took off of her almost every night, the sensation of his skin brushing against hers sending shivers across her entire body. It was also the colour of the seats of Hal’s car, the ones her fingernails scratched every time Hal thrust into her.

But most of all, loving Hal was blue. The blue of his eyes that sparkled so brightly every time he saw her. He was wearing a blue shirt the first time they met. The blue of his jeans that she wanted to peel off of him every time she saw him. Blue for the peace that being with Hal gave to Y/N.

And blue was for the feeling of despair Y/N and Hal had when her mother and stepfather discovered their relationship. It was blue for the pain of Hal being fired and sent far away from her. For all the tears she cried over him, and the guilt she felt for not standing up for him enough. The pair of eyes she’d never see again were blue. Blue was for how empty she felt without having him beside her.

But, as Y/N’s world faded back to grey without Hal, something arrived that changed everything.

Blue was for the stamp in the corner of Hal’s letter, telling her he never stopped loving her and that if she felt the same, to come find him. She packed a blue suitcase to leave her old life and start again with Hal. Blue was for the something blue she wore at her and Hal’s wedding day. Blue was for the colour of their new home, and the colour of their new baby’s nursery.

And blue was for the colour of the sky each new day Y/N and Hal spent together.

Ace book recommendation alert!

I’ve just finished both of these wonderful ace books and I wanted to share my thoughts! I’m not going to do a comparison because they’re both very different. I’m gonna start with Sounds Fake But Okay because I binged all their podcast episodes when I first knew I was ace and I’ve been looking forward to this book for a long time.

Sounds Fake But Okay

I enjoyed this book a lot. It’s basically the aspec point of view on a lot of important topics in life, using anecdotes and surveys to bring together a varied perspective on what it’s like to be aspec. I personally love getting other ace’s views on things because our community is so broad and covers so many differences and it’s great. It was really cool to get the aromantic perspective too. This was a really easy read and I would recommend for anyone who already knows they’re ace. They make it clear that it’s not an Ace 101 books but you can still definitely read it if you’re unsure where you fit in the community.

I Am Ace

This is the ‘asexuality for beginners’ book I wish I had when I was questioning. It’s written in such an organised and logical way that it would have definitely helped to untangle the mess that was my brain when I was trying to figure out if I was asexual. It’s the FAQs of the ace world whilst also offering advice, positivity and affirmations. If you are wondering if you are asexual or are new to the community then this book is for you. As someone who already knows they’re ace, I didn’t particularly learn anything new but it just made me so happy that a baby ace could pick this up and have all the information they need in one place. It also has a bit at the back for recommendations of resources such as other books to read, people to follow on social media and websites to check out. I’d say as well this book is brilliant to recommend to your allo friends to save you giving a Ted Talk every time you come out. You can just be like ‘here you go, here is all the information you need and then come back to me after and we’ll talk about how I fit into all this’

Have you read either of these books yet? What did you think?

It's such a tragedy weh #Him brushing things off by falling back into his issues is just so agh Sif no you deserve better!#Some sillies lol I never know if I should give content warnings for these kinds of jokes - I don't make them often!#Loop's line in the Jello streams is So good I couldn't not lol #Happy Wednesday fr btw lol yes I did do that on purpose #The last one agh the red and like - can we talk about Sif (and Loop's and Odile's) specific portraits where their hands do the spark thing??#I always forget how art can be Whatever and that overlapping/removing lineart to imply shapes and movement and just jfdslafd #It's so cool I love it so much it's very inspiring #The bonus is mostly a joke lol - again while watching the Jello streams Lenti was talking about how much she relates to Sif #And I was privately like ''Haha thank goodness I don't relate to him! Couldn't be me!'' And Then #It's fine lol I'm aware of my overlapping issues - I fall more on the Isa side of ''Sounds fake but okay'' but yeah.....yeahhhh lol #As long as I don't get trapped in a time loop about it! Poor Sif haha

don't trust her dazai, she's gonna blackmail you to buy every flavor of ice creams and bully you anytime chuuya is around.

i don't trust my writing to be readable so dialogs under the cut:

Kyouka: Dazai-san, is it true that you're going to die of heartbreak if you have to hide your undying love for big brother any longer?

Dazai, earlier that day: If poor Chuuya hides his undying love for me any longer, I'm afraid he'll die of heartbreak!

Dazai, now: 'Not exactly in those words...'

Kyouka: I don't want you to die. So I decided to help you by acting as your illegitimate child. With this plan big brother will take pity on us and agree to go out with you.

Atsushi, murmuring to himself: Could it work? I mean, I wouldn't fall for it myself ofc, but Chuuya-san seems like a kind person... Would I fall for it?? If Aku had an....

Tsushi and Dazai: 'Isn't that the plot of the TV show from last night?'

Dazai: Kyouka-chan, that's a PERFECT idea!! 🌸

Kunikida, from his desk: No it's fucking not!

#this sounded way funnier in my native language #atsushi and kyouka are those siblings who look very levelheaded from the outside #but the moment they get used to you they show their true colors #which is both share one braincell that never gets used except for creating chaos #add aku to this mix and you're gonna have very serous explanations of very stupid logics #idk i think they would have so much fun together #anyway back to kyouka's plan #chuuya sees through kyouka's fake tears immediately because my guy worked with dazai for three years #but he gets so annoyed at dazai's attempt of caretaking #so he decides he HAS to interfere and help him #not because he wants to okay #at one point they forget about kyouka who disappears with dazai's wallet #bsd #bsd fanart #dazai osamu #atsushi nakajima #kyouka izumi #bsd kyouka #bsd atsushi #soukoku #comics #my art #i probably butchered english a couple of times till this point so thanks for reading so far #i'm alright with getting my language mistakes pointed at me #also this page is super unfinished but i want to move onto the new stuff so #maybe one day i will have time and patience to finish a drawing

me, dean, and everyone else watching: ok sure, sammy

#vics spn rewatch #spn 1x10 #the apology is made worse by j*red's inability to actually sound sincere #he's doing his fake sympathy voice and it is so. grating #adds a fascinating unintentional layer to sam as we've talked abt before #and it's like not necessarily a Bad thing to perform rather than feel sympathy #but like. this is very much a non-apology and dean knows it and we all know it #sam DID mean those things on some level. maybe not as harshly as he said them bc his anger WAS being heightened by the ghost #but those feelings were real #and sam is allowed to feel them. but they are in many ways. a projection and also unfounded #sam literally could leave at any time and dean would let him go (as we'll see in thee very next episode!!)#just bc he feels those feelings doesn't mean they're inherently true #dean isn't keeping him trapped. dean isn't just blindly following orders. dean Does have a mind of his own #and in fact dean isn't being all that great of a dutiful son bc he actively is not all that interested in finding john!! not the way sam is #and you'd think for dean being the one to initially show up and ask sam's help that he'd be more invested in finding john #and making sure he's actually alive instead of following random coordinates to a case. and taking on every other case they find too #anyways. sam's feelings of anger are real bc he feels them and it's okay to feel things #but he's massively misinterpreting and projecting things onto dean #and then he feels guilty (like post-possession) and tries to swipe it all under the rug and claim he didn't mean any of it #but he Does. and dean knows it. everyone knows it.#his perceptions do not align w/ what's really happening. bc he doesn't have the full context.#bc he doesn't know just how complicated dean's relationship to john really is. bc he was sheltered from a lot of that.#he sees dean desperate for approval and a good little soldier #when in reality dean was playing peacekeeper and mediator and punching bag most of their childhood.#and rn dean doesn't really care that much abt finding john. he just wants to hang out with his brother #not samcr*t btw. we love all this abt him it's spicy it's crunchy it's tasty

A fun thing about trying to figure out if you're neurodiverse is when you want to compare your experiences to see if they are "normal," and you suddenly realize you're actually not sure ANY of your friends or family are neurotypical

#of course talking to actual NTs is hilarious #so you just... make a phone call without thinking about what you're going to say??#sounds fake but okay #actually neurodivergent #neurodiverse stuff #actually neurodiverse #actually autistic #actually adhd #adhd #autism

"Hell's Greatest Dad" reads like someone told Alastor at some point that "Your daughter calls me 'Daddy'" was a great way to piss people off, and he decided to put his own spin on it.

#hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel alastor #aroace alastor #aromantic asexual alastor #asexual alastor #“someone” being angel #whether alastor got the original meaning or not is up for debate #I like to think he did #I mean - which sounds more plausible?#that he just didn't know #and went “sounds fake but okay”#or that he knew the implications #but decided that he had a BETTER idea
