Pacey & Joey | this is me trying

Watch in highest quality!
I did promise I had some ideas in the works! I am so glad I finished this 'cause I have wanted to vid these two dumb babes again for too long. I did a video almost 9 years ago and I still feel as strongly about them as I did back then. This song just screamed early Pacey and Joey to me and I had to vid it. I hope you enjoy this little thing and I am begging you, pls watch Dawson's Creek if you haven't already. THESE TWO ARE SO WORTH IT.
I would like to especially dedicate this to Yasmin and Hannah for loving them as much as I do. I hope this makes you smile like your tributes to them make me smile every time I watch them. AND also, this is for Teresa, who was the first pjo shipper. You have been an inspiration in many ways and I don't think I thank you enough.

P.S. I STILL LOVE THIS VIDEO! It was such a wonderful gift! *hugs*

[@jaceylfe]

Pacey and Joey are one of the greatest couples ever. I have never loved a pair more than them and likely never will. They made other person whole and brought out the best of each other. My otp.

[@alialthea]

Same! Thanks for the comment 😉

[@frankieflow13]

I love what you did with the "Imma count to ten" 😭😭

[@alialthea]

Thank you so much!

[@tbird4u1]

That dance in Lovebites gets me crying every single time. The chemistry mixed with their obvious hearbreak. Good lortttt.

[@alialthea]

that is definitely one of my favourite scenes of theirs too! Thanks for the comment.

[@jeanettes2170]

Either they are really great actors or they have chemistry in real life. The way Joshua looks at Katie makes it seem he loves her in real life, even after they dated. Such a great show.

[@diacorbi8573]

They have such good chemistry!

[@tbird4u1]

Very intense chemistry. I mean, I've yet to see another tv couple match it. And their are alot with great chemistry.

[@sophiamaria8180]

The only ones i can think that could match it are damon and elena from tvd and Olivia and Fitz from scandal

[@roksolanabaszczak286]

@@sophiamaria8180 yaas, I'd definitely say that Delena had such an marvellous chemistry, but do did Barney and Robin from HIMYM 😅

[@joycedates2059]

[@VioletEmerald]

This is SO beautiful. I can't wait to see more of this show for the first time. Wonderful video.

[@alialthea]

Yaay, you'll love them so much! And thank you 💖

[@gaby0189x]

I love these two sooooooo much. I was so excited to see this on my timeline and let me tell you it did not disappoint! It’s so good. “And my words to shoot to kill” ... “I fell behind my classmates”.... omg wtf?!?! So amazing

[@alialthea]

Thank you so much Gaby!! It really means so much 💖

[@CrAZychicke]

Can't believe he went out of his way to buy her a wall which she never painted on... the audacity. I love them and their story and always wish they had more time together! Thanks for editing to them to one of my fav songs. Castaways & Stolen kisses are my fav eps to rewatch.

[@alialthea]

Thank you so much! I know she better be painting that wall with pacey and their children!!

[@Hanneybean7]

you rewatching castaways so recently now makes COMPLETE sense and I’m so incredible grateful that you’ve done this! you’re 100% correct that this song embodies their early relationship and how he grew up for her and she relaxed for him, they became the best versions of themselves for each other! I love whatever you did to the coloring for these impossibly hard to color scene! the scene selection is impeccable, I especially loved the dance montage and the spinning in the air parts! your videos have always been so imbued with charm and character and a wonderful understanding of the show or couple that you tackle and this is no different - so in love with this, I can’t wait to rewatch it for many years to come! thanks for the shout out Alicia, it’s been so lovely sharing our love for these two 💕

[@alialthea]

Indeed!! I was vidding them this week and when I wanted to add a scene from castaways, I knew I had to rewatch the whole thing. Thank you my love, I know you love and appreciate them too and for you to say these things just!!!! It means so much to me. 💖

[@IloveRUPERT2010]

I screamed when I saw this existed. Incredible work!

[@alialthea]

Thank you!!! Glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@Smurfa85]

I love them so much! Never bored with this relationship. Great job! ❤

[@alialthea]

Same here, love them! Thank you so much 💖

[@Javi-hr1sl]

they are EVERYTHING, i swear

[@alialthea]

they really are!

[@whiimsy]

this is absolutely gorgeous!!! you made me wanna watch this show so badly, and honestly made it seem like this song is PERFECT for these two! I love it!

[@alialthea]

aaah that makes me so happy, you will love the show. And thank you so much for your words 💖

[@theironist]

tons of feelings about this! i miss them

When I first heard the song I thought of them. Thank you for this great edit.

It is really made for them! Thank you for your lovely comment 💖

[@haileypecore7674]

Same here! Thank you for the comment :)

Thank you so much for your kind words!

[@camico1212]

Literally crying

[@terrilynn88]

omg this is amazing! i was close to editing them to this song too but i never followed through so i'm glad you did! this song is just soo perfect for them and you edited it so beautifully. i'm lost in my joey/pacey feels!

[@alialthea]

Oh gosh, really?? Great minds think alike 💖 I think it definitely fits them, and especially pacey. Thank you so much!!

[@kenziejuleen]

oh my god, crying over here, this is so so good, so well-timed, so beautifully thought out - it came up on my recommended page and I'm so thankful. there'll be nothing like what they had ever again.

[@alialthea]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad KZbin brought you here 🥺❤️

[@kenziejuleen]

@@alialthea you're so welcome!! I've already rewatched it a couple times since so seriously good job 😊

[@francarrey7501]

Great video. The editing was superb.

[@ItalianRory]

I am drowning in emotions! Ali how could you do this?! this song, these two and your editing - I can't

[@alialthea]

aaaah bia!!! thank you so much 💖

[@hurleybird]

I don't think I'll ever be fully prepared for this but HERE I GO. I'm already so emotional because your Devil's Tears vid is what convinced me to watch DC in the first place and you were there every step of my pjo journey so they'll always be tied to you for me. And then you go a vid them to my favorite folklore song and it's all too much tbqh!!!!! I love how you started with all the ask me to stay moments, one of the best parts of many great things about their relationship. The way you shifted from Joey to Pacey's perspective for the verses was PERFECT because it fit them both perfectly and it shows that they were both equally trying in this relationship. God my words shoot to kill when I'm mad with that prom scene...how dare you. And then at 1:51 all the soft yet angsty dance scenes with that chorus, just heightened the emotion for me. It's such an honor to see you vid them again and I legit can't wait to watch this for the rest of my life!!!

[@alialthea]

You killed me with this my love, I cannot thank you enough for your kind words!! You are an inspiration when it comes to editing (these two, especially). So I am just so happy you watched the show and love them so so much. Thank you for noticing everything and just leaving the most thoughtful comments 🥺💖

[@joeypotter6051]

The greatest OTP. Wonderful vid, thank you for sharing it!

[@alialthea]

Thank you for your comment!!

[@lilitifrock]

Oh well, I saw it on vimeo first, but it doesn't hurt to comment twice because it's such a beautiful portrayal of this relationship, like the song seems to fit them very well (from my very little knowledge of them) and your editing shows their softness extremely well!

[@alialthea]

Gosh thank you for commenting, it really means so much!! I went for the soft and the angst with this, they definitely have all that. 💖

[@lilitifrock]

@@alialthea I can feel it, indeed ! Definitely helps with my motivation to watch!

[@cynicalromantic261]

0:36 with the lyric ... i dont even go here and that hit me hard the spinning shots at 'i was so ahead of the curve that the curve became a sphere' wow ok, you always do this, i dont even go here and im like ... paiiiinnn... but make it pretty! Your love for them really truly shines here and god every look, every glance, every touch, it hit me hard. this song seems so perfect for them from what i know about them and how they grow together. Alicia your talent knows no bounds and i am glad we are getting to see it again!

[@alialthea]

It really is such a great song for them, I hope I did it justice!! Thank you SO much again. You picking up so many details about this just makes it all so worth it. 😭😭😭

[@GlamourStar0x]

LOVE LOVE LOVEEEE THIS!

[@alialthea]

Thank you 😊 happy you do!

[@gal255]

oh my god. I got stumbled upon one of your new videos, I had to make sure I am seeing right and just went back to your channel to see what you've been doing. And i knew this one should be the 1st one i'm gonna watch. Your talent just got better over the years, this was so so beautiful and made me miss these two and the time I watched this show so badly. art.

[@alialthea]

Gal!!!! Thank you so so much for you words, omg I missed seeing you around here!! I'm so glad you enjoyed this, I was hesitant to come back but I had so many ideas I needed to fulfill in my head, and vidding these two was one of them 💖

[@trueloveproduction1774]

Omg I love this, I love them 😩💕

[@alialthea]

Thanks! And pjo is the best 💖

[@CoolCatKerr]

Amazing edit ❤❤

[@alialthea]

Thanks a lot! :D

[@optimisticrainyday]

Awwww, A! I'm sorry it took me so long to watch this, but I made it. FINALLY! First, I love you too. PJ is one of the earliest shared interests that bonded us, for sure. I don't know that I was the absolute first PJer, but certainly, I was among the first of us. Probably I am the first one you met though. *hugs* You inspire me too. I'm so proud of how you've grown as a person and that we've maintained our friendship all this time -- even if we don't get to chat much anymore. It's so great to see a new video from you! I've missed them. Lovely song choice. You always do a phenomenal job matching lyrics to your chosen topic. Watching this just brought back all the emotions and how much I enjoyed sharing our love of this couple with you (and writing and vidding about them). One thing they always went back to was "trying". I've been hankering to rewatch this series (even if the change in music is annoying) ... and I've been thinking about that PJ video I never got to finish. If I could, I would, but the computer I had it on died. I don't have a video editing program anymore. Maybe I'll decide to post the unfinished version (if I can find it) or one day be able to get a new program. But I'd probably have to start from scratch! That said, it's telling how these two still hold up almost 20 years after the show ended. Neither Pacey nor Joey was perfect, but it was how they made each other better, more alive, and never gave up on each other that earned them the True Love ending they deserved. And it wasn't about lust, or status, or shock value, or any of the things so many of the TV "relationships" for teens (and sometimes adult shows) seem to be these days. This duo was honest, messy, and about as real as a "fake" couple could get. They had mutual respect, love, passion, and hope. And that last one is something they probably still give to the millions of new viewers who discover this show each year. Sorry I got so poetical there, lol. But I LOVED it. Thanks again for including me in the dedication. ~ T

[@alialthea]

Oh gosh thank you T, so so much! The trying part was the first thing that made me want to vid these two to this song tbh! I felt it really did represent their relationship and dynamic. I know we don't talk as much anymore ugh but I still love you a lot hon, we have to find the time! 💖💖

[@MermaidMusings7]

Love this.

[@amandafuschak271]

[@ecoluxedesigns]

WOW. This is so good ❤️ Where did u get such good quality videos of them? I searched everywhere and couldn’t find any 😂

[@alialthea]

Thank you! And about the clips, I had them from a very long time ago! This is mainly playing around with the settings and colouring to make them look decent 😊

[@leahrpatterson]

♥️♥️♥️

[@swiftie4ever2010]

i’m only on season 3 and i’m hoping to see their relationship collade sooner or later

[@alialthea]

You will soon!!

[@kaydene73]

could you make a edit of them to “the 1” by taylor swift pls

[@alialthea]

Hi! I'm really honoured that you requested this but I don't usually accept them. I don't have a lot of free time or inspiration to edit as much as I would need for a request, but I will surely keep your song idea in mind for future Pacey and Joey videos!
