#ghost of christmas future

[onebadnoodle]

merry christmas!

were you visited by three ghosts?

[zal-cryptid]

What are the three ghosts of Christmas like in the other world canon. I believe jacob Marley worked tooth and nail to get them to help Scrooge and Is the ghost of Christmas yet to come an aspect of death

I call them the "Three Santas" in my Otherworld canon.

The Ghost of Christmas Past is the spirit of Saint Lucy, chosen due to her association with light and sight, as well as her holiday being in mid-December.

The Ghost of Christmas Present was always going to be obvious. Dickens based him on Father Christmas, an English folk figure that evolved from pagan traditions who later merged with Saint Nicholas.

And finally, keeping with the theme of choosing saints, it only made sense I find one that personified death in some fashion in order to represent the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. The mexican folk saint Santa Meurte seemed like a perfect, albeit somewhat out of place, fit.

Here's my Holiday piece for the year, as comfortably well-off top executives warm by their Christmas eve fire and eat their bisque… but soon each one will be haunted by three spirits. In the case of the current leader of a teetering film studio, his is the haunting of The Ghosts of Christmas Write Offs. Past, present and future. Expect the first tomorrow when the bell strikes one.

Happy 40th anniversary, Mickey's Christmas Carol!

[cluelessrebel1988]

A not at all comprehensive list of the details/plot points/things that I liked about Netflix's Scrooge: A Christmas Carol in no particular order (spoilers ahead if you care):

They managed to turn 'Happiness' from one of the most forgettable songs in the musical (imo) to one of the better numbers by doing one key thing differently: Making it a duet between Scrooge and Isabel

'I Like Life' fucking slaps and I don't think I need to elaborate on that.

'Begin Again' also slaps

The designs for all the ghosts was phenomenal, as were their entrances

I love Past's dynamic with Scrooge. It's probably one of my favorite depictions of Scrooge's interactions with the ghosts, not just in this adaptation but in any adaptation.

Literally everything about the 'Later Never Comes' sequence

Changing Scrooge's plea to "sponge out the writing" on the grave to refer to Tiny Tim's marker and not his own, and having him place his desire to save Tiny Tim at the forefront of his promise to change

The Ghost of Christmas Present admitting he can't see what will happen to Tiny Tim

Making Marley older than Scrooge and a mentor/boss rather than having them be about the same age. There's nothing wrong with the latter, but the former is a different interpretation that I found interesting.

While this isn't the first adaptation to add in the detail of Scrooge's sister dying in childbirth on Christmas day, it is, as far as I'm aware, the first to directly hint at that being at least part of the reason behind Scrooge's disdain for both his nephew and Christmas.

I don't know why they did it, but I thought it was an interesting decision to have the first person Scrooge talks to post-redemption not be a child as in the original story, but instead just some guy shoveling snow on the street.

i rewatched the muppet christmas carol recently

[leo-bandito]

the ghost of christmas yet to come.

[flarson]

In the best production of A Christmas Carol I ever saw, the ghost of Christmas future was a skeleton puppet in a robe and they played a didgeridoo every time it "spoke".

Scrooge: Ghost of the Future, I fear you more than any spectre I have seen. But as I know your purpose is to do me good, and as I hope to live to be another man from what I was, I am prepared to bear you company, and do it with a thankful heart. Will you not speak to me?

Ghost: *points* HONK

[a-living-cartoon]

Marley: “This is bad! This is really bad!”

Yet to Come: “Dude what is it?”

Marley: “I kissed Scrooge while trying to warn him about his fate…”

Yet to Come: Woahhhh…I owe Past a lot of money..”

Here's an Edit for the movie Scrooge: A Christmas Carol

[twistedtummies2]

You've seen Billy-me-lad as the Ghost of Christmas Present, thanks to @twisted-brainrot. Now, we present the other two spirits, as played by Twisted Wonderland OCs. First there's Harmonia A'Cappella, belonging to @clouddreamer101. He's the Ghost of Christmas Past. Then there's TB's very own Gareth Tytla as the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come (a.k.a. the Ghost of Christmas Future). For Gareth, TB once again looked to "Mickey's Christmas Carol" for inspiration, and the version of the spirit played by Pete in that version. Hence why Gareth is un-hooded and has suddenly developed a smoking habit. (Don't worry: he's a ghost, his lungs will be fine.) For Harmonia, they decided to do something more original to them, using the idea of a candle, very common in takes on Christmas Past (for good reason), and this is the result. If they're going to reform Azul, they'll have their work cut out for them. XD Anyway, even though these aren't my own OCs, a.) they're very closely tied to Billy, and b.) since I've posted the stuff with Billy as Christmas Present already, I figured I should continue that trend in posting things here.

December 3, 1984: Disney's Mickey's Christmas Carol (1983) is released on VHS and Betamax.

In addition to the film, some copies include a 25 minute documentary titled "The Making of Mickey's Christmas Carol" which plays after the feature.

Okay but why did I spend the whole movie thirsting over the ghost of Christmas future instead of Ryan Reynolds
