Go read Hank's book and watch his videos! / vlogbrothers
so Hank and I actually made this for his channel but he was so thoughtful with his questions I was like yo can I upload this too? haha

[@Smikay]

*"where did you rent a supermarket?"* was the first thing I thought when I saw the Crush MV

[@rfldss89]

The dark circles definitely add to the mv! Its like a visual representation of the 'ugh' in the song, its perfect

[@sabrinamaria496]

Tessa has such great eye-contact, she always seems so connected and interested by the people she's listening to, and that's such a gift!!

[@thewinterizzy]

This is one of my favorite “interviews” ever about creativity. More like a casual chat but... still haha.

[@izme1000]

To the friend that forgot your guitar in Tessa's trunk: Thank you so much for being the catalyst.

[@dawsondavis]

"You know what, that's what I look like." The word you guys were looking for was beautiful.

[@redweathertiger]

when i saw that first shot, when i saw your dark circles and intense gaze, i literally said out loud THIS IS SO COOL. you look cool, and different, and i’m so happy that you’re playing with your image and sound. you’re such an exciting artist to watch!

[@KaraToNihongo]

I remember watching meekakitty and nanalew videos coming home from school~ im so happy with how theyve grown~♡

[@beautifulcatastrophe]

Please keep your hair style like that you look so cute

[@laurendennis2554]

I'm so glad you took the time to talk about your financial situation. I've been following your KZbin channel for probably 10 years now? And I'm not going to lie it like really rubbed me the wrong way that you weren't online for a year and then the first video you did again was asking for money. Now watching this and knowing what your situation was like I apologize for being so quick to judge. You really do have a passion for music, and to follow that passion sans a record label footing the bill has got to be an incredible financial drain. Thanks so much for the interesting video and the reminder to not be so quick to see the bad in people.

[@ericotto314]

Amen 🖤

[@firemanjoe9491]

I was so pleased to see your eye baggies! Growing up my eyes were made fun of by so many. Worst was the people who thought it was in their place to tell me how to get rid of them in our normal conversations. Don't feel bad about them. When I saw my daughter just after she was born she had my bags and it gave me a entirely new respect for them! They are the sign of a hard worker, and a cute smile!

[@user-py3py5sx2f]

If a newborn baby can have them at birth, how is it the sign of hard work?

[@heyannabeth]

Asith aren’t you delightful

[@memereview9803]

Asith dude the baby had to push itself out of the mother’s vagina ! also im not sure if it can sleep in the womb ?

[@user-py3py5sx2f]

@@memereview9803 That's funny and all but it's the mother that pushes the baby out

[@AndArrington]

I love that Tessa has been in the KZbin community since like ‘07 and has only recently become recognized as being so talented

[@lucyhtml]

I love this! I never would have expected to see you with Hank lol

[@shakibzz]

I'm pretty sure they also did a dear Hank & John episode!! 💗💗

[@Felixkeeg]

She also was on SciShow Quizshow, that's how I discovered her

[@Nicaea7]

They've known each other for a while

[@Bino_Sleevelesssocks]

trust me

[@givememore4free]

Love her hair so much.

[@itspaulavarela]

That "blughhh" before u talked about your breakup is my religion

[@kirillsobakar9658]

Paula Varela, time code plz

[@yourdear3643]

Мы тебя любим!

[@leiler13]

yes! watching this again; Loved hearing ur creative process Tessa and wish Hank would do more interviews like this

[@saftyume]

and here I am watching you two since the very early days on youtube and still enjoying all of your content! Thank you for still being on this platform, I am looking forward to the next 10 years. much love

[@LellsCreates]

This is just great. Just great. I really appreciate how Tessa references who's said what when she's retelling someone else's thoughts. It's so respectful :)

[@daughterofthestars08]

God it's so cool to see two creators I look up to talking honestly to each other and just like... having a normal people conversation. I think creators get idolized so much nowadays that it can be hard to see them as other people who are just out there doing their best, so thank you, and I hope there's another video coming soon of Tessa getting to talk about Hank's book!

[@katem9718]

I love this whole video. You two are both so intelligent and speak with such understanding and empathy, especially with the ways you discussed KZbin and music being similar... I just appreciated it a lot. You're both brilliant. Much love.

[@Purzius]

15:08 was heart melting

[@TerynGray]

I loved seeing you two chat with each other--you're both such thoughtful question-askers.

[@liscampos248]

already seen it on hankschannel but hell yes im gonna watch it again. you both are incredible and word things in a way i never thought of. very insightful and lovely xxx

[@alexgraefe.photoYT]

Just found Tessa like a week ago and well... I'm obsessed. Songs to fell in and out of love to, such a clear and just lovely voice and seemingly a great personality. If there's a show in Hamburg (GER) in the future, I'm going to be there. front row.

[@klsynicl]

This was fascinating. I love listening to you two! Basically I want you to make a podcast.

[@melododie]

This is so interesting and so enjoyable to watch. Tessa is so cool and so good at explaining things.

[@chiliandra1]

Yay your back so excited,, love you!!

[@Psyobarn]

loved this discussion. thanks for sharing!

[@KristenPimley]

This is wonderful! Thank you for reposting, I didn't see this on Hank's channel and I'm glad I got to watch it.

[@riverofperil]

I love that shot! It captures the perfect emotions

[@cassidy7276]

EVERYTHING YOU TALKED ABOUT IN THIS VIDEO IS WHY I LOVE YOU YOU’RE SO GOOD IM HAPPY I GREW UP WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS

[@paulfarr7]

I still love this interview soooo much.

[@alli3263]

[@Beanso]

[@mvwinf]

[@tessaviolet]

Yes! It's from Hank's channel I just liked it so much I wanted it for my channel too :)

[@mvwinf]

@@tessaviolet wonderful! gives me an excuse to watch it again 😊

[@AnonymousFreakYT]

The "do you edit these"? was "woah, deja vu! I know I've seen this!"

[@grr157]

I'm glad you did! Because I never would have found this otherwise... Though I really should subscribe to his channel too :D

[@milliepede6715]

woah! just watched this today, clicked since both of them are one of the most well known tiktokers today that I regularly watch. Love you both!

[@jaynutter9273]

sail - awolnation was the first i saw tessa that was like 6 years ago, love the songs you make, keep it up. you are awesome !!!!

[@cathincase9316]

Jay same I really enjoyed those vids in that time in her life w her friend

[@davidswan9391]

One of my favourite songs and music videos ever.

[@nonononodont]

i've been wanting to know the background story of you two hanging out at Disneyland and how y'all met since i saw the photo on IG. this warmed my heart because i can tell that you two have a genuine friendship. 💛

[@SarahBo]

So proud of you. As a fellow songwriter, much newer to the journey, I really look up to you. I am so glad you've come back to KZbin! This video was very informative and so interesting! So thanks!

[@anyawithay]

Lovely as always Tessa 😍❤

[@M4nusky]

Wow! I'd listen to hours of this conversation

[@ImTheKillaMonster]

CAN'T WAIT FOR THE ALBUM!!

[@deedee8568]

A remarkable number of insights here💫

[@drew2914]

This is so amazing.

[@draxxusgg922]

homie dark circles or not you are extraordinarily beautiful, the music video I loved cause of how goofy ya danced and genuine you looked. Pretty sure I have watched the music video like 6 times in a row before and every time I watch it I notice something different, and its catchy as heck! lol

[@cHiLdOfZiOn06]

Man, your hair is so rad in this

[@Meganresponds]

I remember when you were in Stafford, VA for a living room tour concert in 2013 or 2014 (not sure which year). It was so awesome to meet you then, but it is amazing to see how far you have come too.

[@tedsamuels3203]

I Love Tessa 💘and her sense of humor

[@EvaSavesTheInternet]

this is a fantastic conversation and i really enjoyed it! also, this made me weirdly nostalgic hahahah

[@seanbardwell2067]

You are my favourite pop artist right now Tessa you are the bees kneessss

[@emilie893]

You look amazing Tessa!

[@nathanacuna6356]

I love crush. I’ve watched it a 1000 times, and I thought you were going for an authentic grocery store look with edge. Can’t wait for the new single.

[@taliabaptista3369]

you're soooooo insightful missing your videos forever i fucking love u tessa

[@weavemagic]

i really enjoyed this conversation... especially the topics of what goes into creating and promoting music, details of the crush music video, and the dread when you share your art with someone waiting to see if they like it

[@LuckyLifeguard]

LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!

[@EnnyOwl]

Every time you upload I get so excited 😍

[@Dani-sw2et]

Absolutely adore you both! 💜💜

[@CodyAlushin]

I remember Miss Mindgeek when "everyone was watching each other." Crazy how times have changed. So excited for all your recognition and success!

[@alysha5093]

I love this

[@on.brandon]

a couple of my favorite things :o 😍

[@corv1d770]

The friendship developing between these two is my new fave thing

[@moleybear]

You guys are 2 of the coolest nerds.

[@dsalazarm]

This was great video but I got super excited bc i thought it was more content!!! MoreTessa & Hank for the win!!!

[@natalieeng5629]

I love you two a lot

[@lineapinea]

i love y'all

[@joshmxvi]

I'm very ok with watching this again. Great video

[@kenziekaee]

I've followed you since you did the breakup song with rhett and link and I've loved your evolution of music and growth. Crush is greatttttt. Haze was great. ALL YOUR SONGS ARE GREAT 💚 Sidenote: please come to New Hampshire. Or back to Boston at least 😁

[@thesatansmurf]

Well done, thanks.

[@promess]

I like this. It seems silly, but thank you for being "brave" in just being you. I love crush and I have pushed it around a fair amount. :D thanks for doing what you do.

[@Gold161803]

My two favorite youtubers of ALL TIME.

[@7GtwNYkHYs]

oh even better is your outro for Bored, you're just so real even in your videos

[@Tony_AM009]

Just watched this on Hank's channel before watching this 'cause I thought that they were two different videos. I'll watch this to help by giving a view, like, and a comment. This was an enjoyable video to watch. Hope that you had a Merry Christmas! Hope that 2019 will treat you well! Sorry that this comment is so late. I've been catching up on content from multiple channels over the past few months or so. I'll be watching the "pillow talk with my mom!" video and "Bad Ideas" music video after this.

[@kujasan]

Tessa. You are an example for a person you would randomly pass by at a random moment in your life - bringing you to a full stop wondering where the heck you have been all the time.

[@majalaanemae3560]

I was surprised to hear that your eyebags in the crush video weren't intentional! I feel like they are a part of the main character in that video, like being tired as hell and falling for someone in a grocery store feels like such a ~relatable millennial thing~ that suits the song really well.

[@paulmeyer8989]

I felt like the tired look added to the idea of spending all your time obsessing over someone.

[@andreasevaldskeletorkarjal7600]

You seem like the nicest person, wishg you all luck in the future.

[@marektoth338]

AWWW SHE BACK

[@camtheartist]

this was so interesting omg

[@margauxb3591]

I also have HUGE dark circles and I totally relate to sometimes being insecure about it, but now I’m like whatever about them. I don’t love them, but I know they’re always gonna be there, so might as well accept them.

[@ThePuglover98]

Perks of dark circles- you get to always look like a Tim Burton character

[@sidnotthesloth1827]

OMG Hank from Crash course is heerreee

[@tessaviolet]

NOVEMBER 30TH MY NEXT SINGLE COMES OUT. GET THAT PRE-SAVE RIGHT NOW (it's free and helps the hype!) t.co/GQDheCtMtF

[@JeffersonWhovianFernandes]

OMG!! Tessa and Hank!!!!

[@anika3206]

*TESSA* YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL I LOVE YOU THAT'S IT ((this is also so cute i love you))

[@TetashiSaya]

dis verbal aesthetic my ears thank me N bless me daily 24/7, 365

[@kasara7373]

I may be weird, but i like your dark circles!

[@MrMctastics]

Kasara everyone does. They talked about it

[@pyrobison2002]

Omg it’s the queen (clicking noises and crush intensify)

[@pyrobison2002]

She comes across as soo intelligent

[@1Haze1]

Really liked the eyebags

[@chrisp525]

Crash course!

[@ravencloud7]

awwwwww hank took tessa to disney!!

[@gregoryjames8389]

Interesting talk, lots of good things to think about, I e context and perspective. Thank you both for your creativity. Also side story I went to play "Crush" on a jukebox in Doylestown Pa and sadly discovered that none of Tessa Violets music was on it. How to fix this? Need some time and a crayon ...

[@MalloryCorben]

And then the "moM HaNk GReEN EmAiLeD mE" from the Vlogbrothers video!

[@corneliusagrippa4613]

The way Tessa looks, the under eye lines... It's what hooked me. I'm a guy, but I kinda have the exact same feelings that seem to be "reserved" only for the females of the species lol omfg like at my thinnest I felt I looked fat which I learnt means I have body dismorphia/dismorphia disorder or BDD... And I used to look at reflective surfaces going to high school groaning every single time cuz I'd get some unflattering perspective... Point being, it is so fucking brave and cool to have that start the video. I fucking seriously loved it, them the clothes... Man, just perfect *chefs kiss*. Seriously. I found it, the video, after not just COVID but personal tragedy after personal tragedy. I had almost every aspect of my life dismantled. And, while out during that period, I found out that psychedelics are in a grey market legal sense ok to sell here in Toronto, or I guess all of Canaduh?? Dunno, but my bff/very recently former roommate slash platonic partner or whatever, took me for a surprise to a magic mushroom dispensary! I thought it was wild how quickly weed got not illegal here but to then see my friends of the squat brown and tinged magic blue variety just waiting in a "store"like setting... Blown mind. Anyways, sometime after the mushroom tea I ran into a bunch of incredible shit that I would never have otherwise. So, thank you shrooms. "How did you hear of or discover us?"

[@simsamsammie]

I love this video so much I’ll watch it a 10th time

[@maisieb973]

Can you guys just start a podcast please??? I’d tune in every freakin week 😍

[@bwackbeedows3629]

Is that the dude from Crash Course? 🤔

[@ravencloud7]

thats the dude with the youtube empire ... and he appears in crash course but john green is the main guy there
