Oh my god I love this ! I keep telling my clients, my students, my mentees, how much violent "target" is for example. I'll try the make up thing even tough I'm not sure how it translates in French... Violence and Battle translate quite well, incidentally

Let me know how your experiments go, Laura! If you discover something useful, I'd love to give it all a try.
