When I’m bored I paint arms onto VeggieTales screencaps
god dammit no now they can do too many things like jack off and hit you
BUZZFEED: Top 2 Things Vegetables Would Do If They Had Arms
I’ve never seen the show, do they not have arms??
They’re vegetables with faces and an unending faith in christ
|If they don’t have arms then crucifixion can’t be a thing
Their Jesus culture must be extremely different
What do they wear instead of crosses

there isnt a veggie christ. they believe in human christ, and now that i write that out in words that might be weirder, but whatever.
every bible story is something they are explicitly acting out in-universe, often with one of them acting as narrator, sort of like how the muppets are “actors” in-universe. you can even see in op’s edit the tiling from the countertop they all live on, and the side of the giant, human-scale computer they use. also they have never explicitly talked about the crucifiction or most of jesus’ life, even in the christmas episodes (at least, not in the old version of the show, the IP has changed hands several times and i stopped following it in like 2005 lol), because the creators thought it would be too weird to have a veggie jesus.
does this mean the veggietales are expecting to be eaten by the children they are telling bible stories to? yes. we don’t talk about that part.
Okay so they’re not in a universe populated by veggies, they are sapient veggies in our universe, talking about human Jesus who was crucified by human Romans. Okay.
And they’re Christian? Do the vegetables have souls? Do they look forward to going to heaven after they die? That sounds blasphemous. Or are souls the purview of humans only, as per real Christianity, and these sapient vegetables know that a great nothing awaits them after death, but they are motivated to save the souls of children for… some reason? Are they a form of angel, perhaps? Is that monocled asparagus an angel?
