Appreciation for Jim and his watch

[possibly-evil]

I had to. It’s CHRISTMAS EVE!!!

[missholloween]

Gift of the magi is mostly from Della's point of view, and we don't spend much time with Jim except their first scene together, "my hair/my watch" and the last scene of their story. The show itself plays with this expectation in "What did you do", where we see a really mean Jim that has nothing to do with the guy we've seen happily singing "christmas eve" some minutes ago and Della herself admiting that he won't do that.

But then we reach Jim and Della's reunion after she's cut her hair. The narrator is right by saying he has a strange expression that is hard to read, as Curt is conveying so many emotions at the same time: we see confusion, sadness, some dissapointment and a slight regret just by one look. Jim takes some time to talk, which makes Della even more anxious than she was. This rubs into the spectator too, doubting Della's words and afraid of what Jim is going to say. But then he says, with the brightest smile in the world "You're more beautiful than ever". And that's the best summary one could do of who Jim is.

I really love how Jim is written (and acted!) because of how this scene is played. During the whole gift exchange, his only goal is to make Della happy and comfort her after what she has given. And when Jim realizes what they have done, the first thing he does is be closer to her, ask her to spend time with him. I reallly like that Curt and Janaya hug during Clark's verse, and that they include a close up of them in the pro-shot. Jim and Della deserve a quiet moment to display their affection, but it is also a really realistic portrayal of these kind of conflics and affection. This joined to the switch of gifts at the ends just wrappes one of my favorite Starkid stories period.

The sincerity and heart of this story, as well as the other two, is one of the things that make VHSCCs such a special project. It's just so earnest and you can see how everyone (especial shoutout to Curt and Janaya for their performance) loves the story just as much as we do and understands their importance. Thank you Clark Baxtresser for such a wonderful show <3

God. Seeing Jim and Della and then Young Scrooge and Belle is just. Insane. Curt and Janaya how do you play The Couple Ever and then later play ANOTHER couple with the most heart breaking breakup song ever.

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.

[kairithemang0]

[awigglycultist]

Scrooge: HYDRATE OR DIE-DRATE!

Scrooge: *aggressively throws water bottles*

Emily: Uh... what's up with him?

Bob: He's trying to yell mental health and wellbeing into us

Scrooge: I APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU!

Jim, crying: It's working

Unserious cover of what ya do? From vhs christmas carols. It's been in my head all day

(if I'm not allowed to post this similarly to how we're not allowed to post video of the shows please let me know and I'll take it down but I thought it would be fine)

Also, I persuaded my mum to watch vhsccs with me on Saturday!

[missholloween]

I often say I'm not the biggest fan of Curt characters. I love him as a performer and really appreciate his talent, but his characters don't often take me by the throat and give me the same brainrot as they do to other people I see here.

HOWEVER. When Curt plays a guy that's so smitten for his partner and just loves being around them and would do anything for them, That's when I know it's over for me.
