"Scrooge said that he would see him—yes, indeed he did. He went the whole length of the expression, and said that he would see him in that extremity first." - Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol

one of the things i love about ebenezer scrooge, and a christmas carol in general, is that, unlike most fictional rich people, scrooge doesn't allow himself the luxuries that he denies to others.
like. he is enormously wealthy, but does he spend his money on good food and nice things and indulgences? no. he keeps his house dark because it's cheaper to not light things, he eats gruel, he barely even makes a big enough fire to heat himself, let alone the room. he scrimps and pinches pennies everywhere he can - including in areas that other people would consider "necessities" rather than "luxuries."
the story of a christmas carol is as much about ebenezer scrooge coming to realize that his misanthropy and miserliness is making himself as miserable as it's making everyone around him, and learning to once again take joy in living in a way he hasn't allowed himself since he was a boy.
it's genuinely cruel to ebenezer scrooge to compare him to assholes like elon musk and jeff bezos.
for all that he is a terrible, terrible person, at least scrooge isn't a damn hypocrite.

Why did they have to make Scrooge look like THAT and also give him a cute dog, how was I not meant to take that personally???

shoutout to charles dickens because "this guy is such a douchebag that bad weather has no effect on him, because no matter how much the wind or rain would ruin an average person's day, this guy can ruin it worse" is an objectively hilarious character trait

Every curt mega character is at least two of three things:
*gay
*simp
*fatherless
They are all also unhinged and getting hurt badly.

Tonight I will watch the animated Christmas Carol. It’s an annual tradition every Christmas Eve for my partner and I—we even eat plum pudding! It’s meaningful to us because Dickens’ tale of second chances performed its own Christmas miracle at a time in our lives when we both—independently and together—most needed it. On this present Christmas Eve, I wish you all the joy of finding you can start again… and that making a start can never come too late. Start that journey, begin that novel, take the first steps of that return trek. Tis the season.
And a special Merry Christmas Eve, by the way, to Molly Oldfield and @neil-gaiman for a rare opportunity to hear A Christmas Carol the way Dickens himself would have wanted.
May the magic continue!

According to my notifications, Tumblr seems to have very much liked my Muppet Christmas Carol memes, so I've made some more. Enjoy!
