- This is one of my top 3 most popular videos on RUclips these days (2023) so I've updated the description to ask: please Support my Creativity! If you enjoy my vidding, please consider "buying me a coffee". It's a small donation that supports me continuing to invest my time into this labor of love. www.buymeacoffee.com/violetem... ~~~~ If you want, you may turn on the CC (Closed Captions) for the voiceovers and/or lyrics transcribed, and toggle with the settings gear ⚙️ to change it between the options of captions.
The perfectionist in me was so strong with this one. I felt like I couldn't stop tweaking it even when it was basically done for like days on end, and I kept imagining doing fancy stuff with text on screen but then didn't ultimately decide to do anything fancy at all with text on screen, etc etc. I wanted to fit more in than would fit but didn't want scenes to be rushed - I hold myself to a higher standard with Gilmore Girls vids for multiple reasons, because it was my first main vidding fandom and because there are so many talented Gilmore Girls vidders out there these days! But this idea I had within the first couple months of this song's release, early 2021 while I was in the midst of a Gilmore Girls rewatch, while seemingly everyone else was vidding it for Rory/Logan. I knew it would work well for these two but didn't realize just how well until I was inside of editing it! I am pretty proud of the final result and I really hope you all like it!
I made my own coloring for this, btw.
Please leave me a comment if you enjoyed it! It would mean so much to me to get some feedback!
I know Chris was never the most popular Gilmore Girls character, and in fact he's pretty despised by a lot of the fandom but I think I was always sympathetic to his point of view, and I'm likely to vid him again at some point, maybe soon. Christopher with Rory would be a fun full video to make one day but in the meantime I have multiple additional Christopher/Lorelai ideas (I love so much about their chemistry, their story, etc), plus various other Gilmore Girls vidding ideas... a Rory/Jess vid, a serious Lorelai character study, etc etc. I also finally have logoless 1080p HD Widescreen footage of Gilmore Girls with which to make these ideas of mine! Which is so nice after so many years of vidding this show without such luxuries...
Oh and sidenote, if you even remotely like this ship, I highly HIGHLY recommend Midnight Hawkins's amazing video "Chris & Lorelai [ paris ]" • Chris & Lorelai [ paris ] - what an impressively well edited, FUN, Chris/Lorelai vid, like just damn. Just wanted to share it with you all in case you missed it. I watched it about 100 times in the past couple of years lol.

This is so impressive! I'm kinda surprised by how you didn't really use that season 7 stuff (even though you already told me lol) but it makes sense with the Sherry clips. So that is very surprising you could do it with just the early seasons.
So many creative lyric matches like "crestfallen on the landing", all those scenes of Rory looking at pictures (I have no memory of some of them), chevy door, flannel cure, "I made a joke", "halls we once walked through" (considering that was the whole point of the episode actually!), "you won't remember all my champagne problems" and that early season 3 scene.
It's a lot of really great stuff and I feel like rewatching:D
I used 1 clip from season 5 (and the Liz/Lorelai moment in season 4) and i did use the one scene from The Revival but absolutely nothing from season 6 or season 7. I had forgotten but they have so much to work with really, especially if you include scenes talking about them. ;) I was super focused on seasons 1-3 in particular.
Rory looks at the photo strip of her parents in 1x08 "Love and War and Snow", she looks at it up in her mom's old bedroom and later at the end of the same episode... the same episode as the photo album with Lauren Graham dressed in a debutante gown and Emily & Richard getting all uncomfortable and quiet. And later it's 2x10 "The Bracebridge Dinner" when Rory picks up the Christmas card with a photo of her dad and Sherry on it. Just for the record, in case you were curious. ;) I had forgotten about Sherry being on a Christmas card kinda but was glad to find it.
Oh i forgot that "that was the whole point" of episode 3x13 "Dear Emily and Richard", the sitting in the chair with decorated for Christmas halls was 1x10 "Forgiveness and Stuff" but yeah i figured it was more likely in 1x10 to literally be the same hospital as where she gave birth because both events - Richard's cardiac event and Lorelai going into labor - happened in that Hartford house. Sherry actually had her baby in Boston lol but now that you mention it that episode being about remembering when she had her baby and how much the episode was about comparing it to a present moment in a hospital might've inspired my choice lol...
Thank you SO much. Your comment means so much to me, truly i appreciate it a ton. You're such a good friend to me to leave me such a detailed comment. Thank you again. I'm so glad you enjoyed this so much!!
As much as I love Luke and Lorelai I have a soft spot for her and Chris, they are so good together
3:41 “He’s gonna marry her and i’m in the same place that i was before”, that line really reminded me of “Right where you left me” by taylor swift and now i’m sobbing w blood tears
I've been planning to vid Right Where You Left Me for Lorelai/Christopher ever since I first heard the song!! (Which was IMMEDIATELY when Taylor Swift released it lol.) Don't know if I will but I do really want to. The end of 2x14 "It Should've Been Lorelai" and their scene in Luke's diner really makes me think of the song a lot too
@@VioletEmerald Exactly! I’m really looking forward to watching the video, hope you’ll do it.
@@amandinhas0555 I hope you also watch and comment on some of my other recent Gilmore Girls videos in the meantime, or any of them (old or new) -- I have a bunch of playlists related to Gilmore Girls and would love to hear your thoughts on more of my vidding! Especially my Rory Gilmore "Vienna" vid if you get a chance!
@@amandinhas0555 I also have a whole playlist of Christopher/Lorelai videos, my Christopher playlist. "Wildest Dreams" is the most recent one I made before this one. But I am proud of all of them ;)
The chemistry between these two is so good they both need more recognition for their work
It’s funny how out of all lorelai’s love interests this is the one she was best friends with in real life….
I will always love Christopher. He wasn't the one for Lorelai but he was definitely a good man. A little lost in the beggining but he tried his best, and when it comes to a woman like Lolerai, who was not easy, he was pretty persistent and loyal. I just wish he had found happiness with someone else,altought i know he never did...
Yeah I wish the writers were kinder about letting him find happiness with someone else one day.
@@VioletEmerald right? He deserved it.
@@VioletEmerald yeah they make him dirty at some point ,when he was doing wherever he thought was correct at the moment that was in his reach ,I wish he could have a good ending :(
They are endgame in my world
If luke didn't exist i would be team christopher because he evolved into someone ready to build a life.
I really love this comment. I really do think I mostly agree :)
This was so, SO beautiful! I wish you included more of S7 scenes too! Imo, they were perfect for each other. Ik the timing never seemed to work out but I always, always rooted for them. They had chemistry, history, truly understood each other, made each other laugh, had a daughter together, they just made sense. Luke and Lorelai on the other hand, hardly had any chemistry, not only in comparison to Christopher but also in comparison to any of Lorelai's other romantic interests! And Christopher grew SO much. Lorelai was it for him. I wish they got their happy ending!
Thank you so much! Yeah I skipped using season 7 in this vid. I didn't like the writing and Lorelai characterization in season 7 i guess? Even the Christopher characterization? It didn't feel quite right but. I've vidded it before. I'll probably vid it again. But it's not my favorite.
Also if I'd vidded season 7, what would you have suggested I remove from the video to make room for it. What do you wish I hadn't vidded that is indeed in here? I think these current scenes I did choose were all more powerful and better to include. Just. Every decision to include something is a decision to not include something else, is all.
Btw, where do you get the scenes from?
@rookiemonster646 I had missed your comment. If you still want to know, I think I found them all for a Tumblr that had HD Logoless Gilmore Girls episodes to download.. Hopefully you found them in these last 9 months though?
I LITERALLY LOVE THEM SOOO MUCH!!! i do semi like her and luke but Lor and Chris!!! ahhhhhh I CANNOT THEY ARE SO GOOD TOGETHER
I used to hate Christopher, but now I realise Lorelai was the problem. She told Luke to not worry about Chris, and told Chris to not worry about Luke. She kept playing with both of their feelings. Lorelai was the problem.
I think she had an avoidant attachment style and struggled with commitment and with a lot of mixed feelings. Christipher is written in quite the complex way where he has a lot of positives and devotion emotionally to Lorelai and Rory and it is implied that Lorelai pushed him away when they were young and the reason he wasn't in Rory's childhood more was mainly Lorelai's choice even though she kinda... resented him for not being there or something? Idk you can interpret a lot of it different ways but that's how I see it. And Luke had plenty of his own issues and avoidance tendencies too. In season 5 drunk Christopher was portrayed very negatively and caused Luke some hurt but a lot of the hurt was actually caused by a mix of Luke's own insecurities and Lorelai having lied to him. Even when Lorelai slept with Chris in the season 6 finale, Lorelai basically treated it like she'd broken up with Luke and ran right into her ex's bed, not really that she cheated on Luke. So to blame Chris for Lorelai's choice feels unfair to me. But yeah that's my perspective on a lot of it. She didn't necessarily mean to be toying with their feelings but she certainly led to some of the heartbreak for both men with her own choices. Especially marrying Chris when she was still in love with Luke. That was really bad.
@@VioletEmeraldI agree except she didn't cheat on Luke. They broke up, she gave Luke an ultimatum he said no to the marriage and they were done. Her sleeping with Chris was just something she did to cement that her and Luke were really over and not a break. Like she said, she didn't want to wait or go backwards.
I'm tired of pretend Lorelei and Chris weren't good together in the story, the writers damage all the good stuff between them,to push the Luke's agenda,I remember rotting for them so bad to be together like a couple,and then they damage even the good everlasting friendship for good ,they were similar in character and have a crazy chemistry
I agree so much. It's such a shame.
Yes! Honestly I felt like at the end their marriage could have worked but Lorelai was being weird and didn't wanna move a town over... 😐. Like it wasn't even far from her job or other stuff she just wouldn't budge on it.
They had so much potential and i will always ship them for what they could have been. But i can't deny that Luke and Lorelai work. Personally j will never ship them like i ship her and Chris but i understand why Luke was the one for her from the beggining. Lorelai was a mess, like, in every sense. She needed a man like Luke, all put together, mature, responsible...a grown man really, cause Lorelai most of the times acted like a kid, in fact, she never really grew up and was a cry for help when it came to stability, take things seriously and all of that. And Chris was pretty much like that, like you said, they were similar in personalities yeah...but that's not what you need in life,someone who matches your personality, you need someone who can offer you something you lack and to whom you can offer something they lack, most of all you need responsibility, maturity and someone with whom you can live the struggles of the day to day life without wanting to jump of off the relationship over any crisis. Chris and Lorelai were similar, yeah, but in the good and bad. Chris had grown up by the end of show, he was a total different man, responsible and was pretty much everything Lorelai needed...but she had changed throughout the corse of their relationship, she wasn't the same from when they were teens or even when they tried to stay together in second season, because of Luke...she had changed and Chris had too but in the end they didn't fit together anymore, it was not the same between them. I agree that the writers kept ruining them but that's because they were ruined from the beggining. They were never gonna work and the way they were written from the start showed that. I'll always ship them because of the actors chemistry and as i said cause of the potencial of their story but i'm glad she ended up with Luke because it's good-writing and when it comes to writing, something this show lack a lot we have to appreciate the things they did right and this it's one of the few things they did right.
@@jclyntoledo she didnt need to move away or get another house there was nothing wrong with her house at all. Think about this if Chris left Lorelai would be stuck in a big house she didnt want.
@@claricesilva2700 Lorelai needed someone who she can rely on and be there when she really needa them and Chris wasnt it.
These two this song how heart tugging and perfect. The fact that even in the revival he's not with anyone. He'll always be in love with Lorelai. Even though she doesn't feel the same.
Thank you for your kind words about my vid! Yeah; for me it hurts so much that he never found happiness outside of Lorelai. It's a really sad ending they gave him.
this is gorgeous! the song fits them and their complicated history so well!
Thanks!
"Deck the halls that we once walked through." You know what you did and it's genius! Love it!
Thank you! I was pretty proud of myself for that one lol
What does it mean? I couldn't get it, because English is not my first language.
@@fariatasnim2706 Well Deck The Halls is a line from a very popular Christmas carol in English. And there was Christmas decorations on the walls when Lorelai was in the hospital with her dad. And then she compared that to Lorelai being in the hospital as she was about to have Rory. Does that make sense?
Yes everything loveGG3 said. :) Also to "deck the halls" literally means to put decorations up (in the halls - the hallways, probably). :)
@@loveGG3 thank you for explaining😘
I haven't even watched it yet, but I'm so excited. I haven't clicked on a music video so fast in a long time.
Okay and I've watched it now and it did not disappoint! I loved all the parallels from the flashback episode to "current" Christopher and Lorelai, especially the one at the end and "they deck the halls that we once walked through". The voiceovers too were just so powerful. You've once again knocked it completely out of the park and made such a wonderful Chris and Lorelai video. You know my love for them, so it's nice to see you vid them.
I actually completely had forgotten about your love for these two! I don't know how i could have forgotten though! I'll remember going forward. ;) Thank you SO much. Pretty much nothing makes me feel nicer than knowing you clicked so fast on my video ;)
@@VioletEmerald how rude! You think you’d remember when there’s so few of us 😜. I know you never disappoint with videos so when it’s you, one of my top three Gilmore Girls pairings, and probably my all time favorite Taylor Swift song, it’s a no a brained.
Thank you for capturing the wonderful complexity of Chris and Lor. The superior ship for sure! Chemistry and connection was fantastic! Love this.
Thank you SO much!
Why every show that I watched and found the actores HAD AMAZING CHEMISTRY does not lasting in the end. WHY GOD JUST WHY :(((
Lol idk, it's painful yes 💜
This is absolutely incredible! You told their story so well and chose the best scenes for the lyrics. This has to be one of my favorite Gilmore Girls videos now.😍
Thank you SO much for the super kind words!! I really appreciate it so much!
I stumbled on this by chance because I just put a video up and search Champagne Problems to credit all the other videos I’d seen. And my goodness, am I glad I did.
This is an amazing edit and a concept I never would have considered. These two are such a tragic story, they always danced around each-other, never quite moving on but never fitting together in all the right ways either. They could never get on from one another but when they finally made moves toward a relationship, something was always wrong. I’d argue they are the most complicated dynamic outside of the Gilmore family in the whole show. And that’s saying something. This is a unique video and I applaud you for it.
Thank you SO much for the amazing compliment! It means so much to me. Especially since I too am a fan of your videos ;) I really appreciate everything you said and am so glad you came across this one by chance after finishing your own take on Rory/Logan for this song. The thing I loved so much about vidding Lorelai/Christopher instead for it is that pretty much 100% of the scenes for these two do come AFTER the rejected proposal, if you will... ;) I've vidded Christopher enough times in the past to have a whole playlist of those videos on my channel, but most are from so long ago. I hope to vid this complicated story again in the future though, because the older I get the more I enjoy vidding these unique things no one else seems to ;)
@@VioletEmerald I definitely agree with that! It’s always satisfying to make unique creations, and as a fellow editor, I definitely know the feeling. It’s the reason I use country songs so often, because no one else really does.
they should have been together, he was the only one who got her and really gave her real love, this is so sad
this made me cry bro i want them together so bag
This popped up in the related videos and I decided to rewatch. It's so good, I knew it would do well:D
Thank you!! So glad people liked this one. ;)
I love this so much! You’re videos of these two are always some of my favorites ❤️ and this song really does fit them so well! I would love to see more videos of them from you and I think a Chris and Rory one would be great too!
Thank you so much for all these kind words! This means so much to me! I'm glad you like the idea of me vidding more of them or a Christopher/Rory vid.
Great job! This captures their story of love and despair so well
"And despair" lol - thank you! I appreciate that you didn't just call it cute or sweet like other people. You really get what i was going for. :)
This really amazing Emily! Beautiful work!
Thank you!
I'm happy to have discovered this Taylor Swift song through your vidding and unique idea with Lorelai & Christopher! You did a wonderful job and found so many amazing ways to match lyrics, like Suvi detailed in her comment :) Also, I love the coloring you made, and your editing choices. It flows so well! I really enjoyed following you throughout the process of creating this video 💛The closed captions were perfect to follow the lyrics & the voiceovers at the same time ☺
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate you taking the time and effort to leave such a detailed comment. I especially am glad to read that you appreciated the captions. So glad they were useful. 😊💜
BEST EDIT EVER I AM CRYING AND I CANT HELP MYSELF AT ALL
Thank you so much!! Wow
it was very beautiful... i finally managed to watch it on a laptop and comment... it is a really great edit... fits the song amazingly...
Thank you!
this is beautiful, wow!
Thanks!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - I’m team Luke but I’m never gunna not root for Christopher 😖
oh my godddd, this is so good
Thank you SO much!!
This is really good❤
Thank you!
Ahhhh I am terribly late for this but as soon as I heard the song and the voice overs I knew It was gonna be amazing! T . T Not only does the song give off warm, cozy star hollow vibes but also captures the reminisces of young love feelings which are Lorelai & Chris! TOO PERFECT. The "deck the halls that we once walked through" GOT ME IN MY FEELSS. You're lyric matching to scenes was so beautiful! Can't get over what a perfect combination this was! so so lovely!
You're not late! No one is late. It's always wonderful to get comments later than the very first week you posted a video. Thank you SO much for the amazing comment! I appreciate it so much, especially coming from a vidder i admire so much and who definitely knows this ship so well!
this song is perfect for them
Thank you so much!!
This was so cute! You did an amazing job! You are so good at lyric matching. I am not a fan of Chris by any means but I did enjoy your video ☺️
Thank you! That means a lot to me. :)
It's a great edit, I promise I've seen it about 100 times.
I just have a question in which episode does this scene 0:15 come out? I think it's really cute, but I've never seen it.
It's a Deleted Scene from the Season 3 DVD set. It's been uploaded to RUclips. It's in the season 3 finale, the final time in the Independence Inn set they brought back the actress who played Young Lorelai earlier in season 3 for a flashback scene.
Also thank you SO much!! What an amazing compliment to know you enjoyed my video enough to watch it so many times!!
still one of my favourite gilmore girls edits!
Thank you!!
I don’t like Christopher much but your Edit is soooo sweet 👌🏻
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it despite not being a Christopher fan.
unpopulae opinion: i really loved lorelai and christopher and really wished they would’ve ended up together
they should’ve been together :(
Is it just me or does lorelai look like Taylor swift?
nah bc christopher is actually so overhated i never understood it
"Nah bc" sounds like it's reacting to a previous comment I'm not seeing. I agree he's so overhated. I never got it either. Hope you liked my video
This is simply breathtaking!!! Truly love your way to put their story together! you managed to encapsulate most of their moments together and i really love your work here!!! also using champagne problems is chef's kiss🤍💎
Thank you SO much!! :)
