🗣 DELLA WHERE'D YOUR HAIR GO?!??!

click for quality! (please)

reblogs = 🥰 / reposts = 😡

ohhhhh man. So the entirety of VHSCC has its grip on me, but especially this part of the show (Panic Attack: The Song, my beloved <3) and what started as a mindless sketch got my brain going and here we are 19 hours later, lol.

also Della and Jim now own a solid 80% of my heart??? I will absolutely be making more art of both of them and that is a threat.

if tumblr likes me today, there'll be an alternate version & close-ups under the cut! 😎👉🏻👉🏻

I spent so much time on the clothes patterns so please appreciate them lmao 🥲👍🏻

I like to envision the narrator of VHS Christmas Carols as a callused young adult who’s returned home for the holidays, reminiscing about how much Christmas spirit they used to have and finding it in the stories from their youth. Each story can also represent the stages kids go through regarding celebration. Matchstick Girl is the lost magic of the holiday season when they start to get old enough to understand unfairness in the world, Gift of the Magi is the struggle of young adulthood, and A Christmas Carol is the callousness that people can fall into, losing sight of what holidays are all about.

But they all have the same core message: the spirit of Christmas May have become about money, but the greatest gifts are found in the people who you hold close, regardless of financial circumstances. This narrator is finding that joy in them again through the past (matchstick), the present (gift of the magi) and future (christmas carol).

Clark you fucking genius

So we're just outright calling Shouma and Hanto lovers now, got it. Heated Drama Between Men and all that.

I need share my favorite from the original gift of the magi with everyone

Peips peips peips peips peips

“I buy hair” is an actual quote from the source text

It’s genuinely amazing how it’s been over 200 years and this line still works just as well, as a completely matter of fact response to Della making a massive sacrifice

Eargasms from watching VHSCCS for the first time

• Honestly every time Janaya opens her mouth

• The end of the hair/watch song where they overlap

• The ENTIRETY OF THE COLD CITY SONG (especially the overlap part)

• Just Ali’s voice in general is *chefs kiss*

• THE MOMENT I HEARD THE FIRST NOTES OF BAH HUMBUG

• “But before the morning LI-EET”

• “You don’t know what this cost!” “YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUVE LOST” 😭😭😭

• “ALL THREE SPIRITS WILL LIVE IN MEEEEE”

• AJs voice is a national treasure tbh

• WHEN THEY BROUGHT BACK ALL THE PREVIOUS SONGS

• The reprise of “the meanest man there ever was” but now it’s HAPPY 🥲

Someone tell me why this latest version of Gift of the Magi made be bawl so hard. Like last year's was good, but there was something in the way it was performed this year that just REALLY got to me.

[starcanwreckedpulp-doyoushipit]

[gavotte-paradisio]

Just finished the Gift of the Magi portion of VHS Christmas Carols and:

-I've read the story, but the music and the acting make this version so much sweeter

-Jim's part of the watch/hair song and the What Did You Do To Your Hair song made me giggle

-Jim and Della vying for the best Starkid couple my gooood
