game changer stills are often like renaissance paintings to me.

nice composition on this shot. tint it brown, darken it, add a bright spotlight on joe... could probably get something approximating one of those fancy baroque paintings

Right in the middle of the 18th century, we have this absolutely frothy pink gown that screams springtime. Yellow bows? Sign me up!
If there is a timeless shape, I'm willing to bet it's this one. Though this doesn't have quite the volume of some of the dresses in this period, it still endures again in the 1830s and 1840s, the 1870s and 1880s, and then again in the 1950s. A fitted bodice, a 3/4 sleeve, and a flared skirt. Plus that gorgeous scoop neck.
This robe à la française was owned by Mrs. Maria Altenburg of Denmark. It then had some adventures of its own, showing up later in Victorian Era costume parties! So it's likely it's had alterations. Most dresses of this era have.
I love the floral spill and the ribbon details! Really marvelous on every level. I am obsessed.

Would Machete and Vasco have any interest in learning a musical instrument? If so, what would they play? ( cannon or original)
I have been thinking about re-learning playing piano again, and it struck me that piano seems to be a instrument Machete could enjoy playing if he had the chance.
Do I get to pick any instruments I want for them? Even kind of unlikely weirdo ones?
Machete doesn't play anything in original canon or modern au, but if he did, I think the only truly correct choice would be pipe organ.
16th century Vasco can play lute a little bit! It's not something he's very enthusiastic about but it was part of his education. Maybe he'd be more into it in the modern times.
Or, alternatively, hurdy-gurdy, which has somewhat of a darker sound to it. I just think he'd look smashing cranking that big ol' thing.
