Absolutely gorgeous
FWIW, "mauve" was one of the coal-tar dyes developed in the mid-19th century that made eye-wateringly bright clothing fashionable for a few decades.
It was an eye-popping magenta purple
HOWEVER, like most aniline dyes, it faded badly, to a washed-out blue-grey ...
...which was the color ignorant youngsters in the 1920s associated with “mauve”.
(This dress is labeled "mauve" as it is the color the above becomes after fading).
They colored their vision of the past with washed-out pastels that were NOTHING like the eye-popping electric shades the mid-Victorians loved. This 1926 fashion history book by Paul di Giafferi paints a hugely distorted, I would say dishonest picture of the past.
Ever since then this faded bluish lavender and not the original electric eye-watering hot pink-purple is the color associated with the word “mauve”.

Medical report for Soldier
Performed and written by medic
Patient name: Jane Doe
Next of kin: a bunch of racoons, Marasmus
Condition: ill
Soldier is acting odd and his body has some changes from his usual condition.
He's veins are slowly turning purple and are much more visible than usual.
He has developed some lumps all over his body, I am planning on preforming a biopsy to see if they are cancerous.
He is acting very unusual, more unusual than he usually is.
Will update when having more information on the condition of the patient.
end of report
Demo, who is just drunk enough to deal with this situation: over the hills we go, blasting along the way.
Scout, who isn't completely paying attention:*to the toon of the dreidel song* bash 'em bash 'em bash 'em. These dumbasses are in the way-
Ms. Pauling: *pulling on her hair in anxiety* I am officially screwed.
Scout: Hey, don't sweat it! There's one more way I could stall.
*jump cuts to the Administrator’s hospital room*
Scout: And now, shadow puppet theatre! *poses his hands* Arf, arf! I'm a dog!
The Administrator: *scoffs* Lame.
Scout: Come on, I'm just getting started. *hollers* Team, places!
The Mercs: *all charge in and pose in complicated patterns*
Soldier: *narrating* Pearl Harbor, December 7th, 1941…
*shadows of military ships, in different sizes and positions, project onto the wall*
Soldier: It started as a peaceful day, and then... BAM! Aggression from the Japanese!
Demo: This is totally unexpected!
*shadows of airplanes fly past, bombing the ships*
The Administrator: *in genuine shock, the ash of her cigarette falling to the floor*
Demo: *imitating explosions*
*the shadow of a giant alligator crawls onto the screen, nom-ing on a battleship*
Pyro: *muffled mooing noises and giggles*
Scout: PYRO! There were no alligators at Pearl Harbor… probably.
Pyro: *muffled whine* Battleships are so boring...
Scout: Back to work!

Play Fortress 2
It’s 18 boys who at the park one day decided to play a game of fighting! Split up into a Red and Blu team, pretended they were mercenaries in a war trying to take down the other team! They loved playing so much that now they all either play at the park, or they will choose someone’s backyard to go play in.
Loadouts!:
Scout(6)- little league baseball bat
Soldier (7)- a PVC pipe he found and he later manages to duct tape into a potato launcher (with some help)
Pyro(6)- a lighter (they aren’t suppose to have that 🤭) ((no, she does not light anyone on fire, he just makes a woosh sound with her mouth and the others play pretend))
Demoman(7)- pinecones and pinecones+gum
Heavy(8)- A log he found, lunch Мама packed him, fists
Engineer(7)- a little robot he made that can shoot BB pellets
Medic(7)- the first aide kit he took from the closet
Sniper(6)- pebbles and a slingshot
Spy(8)- a pencil (to ‘backstab’)
19, autistic, have a tendency to hyper fixate, likes tf2 or Danganronpa 2, est.
