Ok but if El's colour will be red/pink... then the flowers Mike gives her is kind of telling for both of them.
El likes yellow - Will's colour, aw - and purple - which is the mix of blue and red, it represents Mike/El together.
Meanwhile, Mike:
It sounds like he started collecting yellow, realised there's too much of it, started putting in purple but it still unintentionally became a bouquet that has "too much" yellow in his words. That describes pretty well who he pays more attention to in s4 vs who he thinks he should be focused on, don't you think?

into the deep end - 30k T orufrey fic, focusing on memory trauma, disability, and romance.
the sweet oblivion of the victim, the poisoned freedom of the other.
for one moment - it had felt like two parts returned - the needed reunion of two disparate halves. no more secrets, no more pain.
the moment you get to give back what you never wanted to take. that moment, under the night-blooming flowers, when they had both let out the same single broken sigh of relief.
but they were never whole to begin with, were they?
qifrey swore he wouldn't say 'sorry' to this man any more if he could help it - sorry is cheap now. he didn't want to be in a position ever again where you only have 'sorry' left. so he just looks down into the threads of his blanket, strains his eye until it hurts, feeling his insides - his throat, heart and head - burn with pain. he expects more, but olly says nothing.
olly says nothing.

I heard that Edward IV and Elizabeth Widvile were known to be very beautiful. Were there any reports on their appearance at the time?
anon 😂
But yes, contemporaries and post contemporaries in the 16th century were pretty much unanimous in praising their appearance. I'll list some of the ones I could find:
Elizabeth:
'The most beautiful woman in England' ('la plus belle fille d'Engleterre') - Jean de Waurin
'Her very great beauty' ('sa tres grande beaute') - Jean de Waurin
"Her beauty of person and charm of manner" - Dominic Mancini
"None of such constant womanhood, wisdom and beauty" - Hearne's Fragment; its author was one of Edward IV's servants
"A daughter of prodigious beauty' - 1469 Continuator of Monstrelet's Chronicle
"Both faire, of a good favor, moderate of stature, well made and very wise" - Thomas More
Edward IV:
"The beauty of your personage it hath pleased Almighty God to send you" - James Strangways, Speaker of the Commons in Parliament
"The king is a handsome upstanding man" - Gabriel Tretzel, travels of Leo of Rozmital
"A handsome prince and had style" - Oliver De La Marche
"In the flower of his age, tall of stature, elegant of person" - Croyland Chronicle
"One of the handsomest knights of his kingdom" - 1469 Continuator of Monstrelet's Chronicle
"A handsome and worthy prince" - Pietro Alipranto
‘...Tall and strapping as the king’ - John Paston, Paston Letters
"He was young and more handsome than any man then alive" - Philippe de Commynes
"A man so vigorous and handsome that he might have been made for the pleasures of the flesh" - Philippe de Commynes
"The handsomest prince my eyes ever beheld" and "I don't remember ever having seen a man more handsome than he was" - Philippe de Commynes
"A very handsome prince" - Louis XI, from the Memoirs of Commynes
"He being a person of most elegant appearance, and remarkable beyond all others for the attractions of his person" - the Croyland Chronicle, referencing Edward a few months before he died
"He seized any opportunity that the occasion offered of revealing his fine stature more protractedly and more evidently to onlookers" - Dominic Mancini, writing shortly after his death
"He was a goodly personage and very princely to behold...of visage lovely, of body mighty, strong and cleanly made; howbeit in his latter days, with an over liberal diet, somewhat corpulent, but nevertheless noy uncomely" - Thomas More
Etc.
I'm tagging @edwardslovelyelizabeth because I think you got a similar ask?
I hope this answers your question, anon! I don't generally pay a lot of attention to the physical appearance of historical figures (I find it pretty irrelevant), but in this case, it ultimately does play a role in both Edward IV and Elizabeth's historiographies for better and for worse, and seems to have actually been a personal prop of Edward's kingship, so I don't mind discussing it :)

Gonna put the thumbnail extra cause hhhhh I prefer putting my Cyberpunk vids as 18+ only to avoid fuckery with Youtube xD
But yeh anyway... I did a very simple video for Kerry's version of "Chippin' In" before, then a more complex one for "Major Crimes", and I've wanted to make a vid for "Kill the Messenger" too cause they're all huge faves of mine of the soundtrack. And I'm that kind of person who always imagines all the scenarios for certain songs (and so many lines in Kill the Messenger line up so good with stuff that happens in the main story imo SO... here we go). I got plans for one more to "Never Fade Away" but I still gotta record some scenes for it 👀
It's not the full version of the song, and it's not perfect, but: it's finished xD And I really like it how it is, learning a little more with each new vid (really dove a bit into what's possible with color grading cause the game is so dark and bleak sometimes, fittingly depressing xD).
Anyways... wanted to share it here too cause I teased about it earlier.
All captured with Streamlabs OBS (free to use although there's probably better alternatives, too) and edited in DaVince Resolve 18 (also free to use, although with some limitations on effects and transitions - can recommend it though as a good PremierePro alternative!).
