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”.

People talk about the surprise albums from people like Taylor Swift or Beyoncé that drop with zero warning but I have just been existing in this world where every album I've ever heard in my life has been a surprise album because I didn't know that musicians had schedules that we could see

Yeah, a lot of what bothers me about fantasy settings (especially D&D) is that people try to run wizards like they're academics, but their only exposure to academics is authoritative professors telling them The Truth, so they don't realize that all academics are always 5 seconds away from trying to strangle each other over questions like 'does time really pass or does it just seem to pass'

I’m finishing one more commission this weekend so I will respond to emoji requests on Monday, April 29. My existing commission is my priority but I’m lining these up for once that is done.

10 slots this round.

$15 USD, PayPal or Venmo, payment in advance

Personal/private use only, discord and social media OK

Send me an emotion/idea/reference and a character (I need refs of the character especially if it’s an OC)

I will sketch the idea, get approval from you to finish it and then add color and lines

Please be specific with your request, these are quick, inexpensive commissions so I will not be doing revisions

You made a deal to be immortal. After countless eons and the end of a universe, you finally taste breathable air again. You lived through another big bang and landed on a new world. Ready to start anew.
