inspired by @daincrediblegg’s very important post on how to access the full brian henson version of the muppet christmas carol on disney+ including the cut song i’m compelled to ask the MOST divisive holiday question:

[obi-wann-cannoli]

Look I like the Muppet Christmas Carol but I do think it was a mistake to lean into the bleakness of Scrooge’s childhood and leave out the joy.

In the book we see his sister, being so excited to have her beloved brother home for Christmas. We see him as an apprentice at Fezziwig’s, just as excited and caught up in the holiday spirit as the others. We see a Scrooge who knows familial love and platonic affection (in addition to the romantic love of Belle).

That’s what the Ghost of Christmas Past is for- not to show the audience a lonely childhood but to remind Scrooge that he did know Christmas joy and how to give and receive love. (And that he knows what it is to be the powerless child or a grateful employee).

This what the Ghost of Christmas Present builds on by showing the kindly moments between strangers, the love at the Cratchett’s meager feast and the joy he could be partaking in at his nephew’s home. His nephew, his only living relative, child of his beloved sister, who states that he will always offer Scrooge an invitation to Christmas Dinner, who sees that Scrooge’s behavior and unwillingness to connect hurts Scrooge himself as much as those around him. (Another part that got cut from the movie).

This is what makes the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come most impactful. Showing Scrooge his death first would’ve done little except remind him of his own mortality (and possibly convince him to spend more money on his own health). Showing him his death, showing him people celebrating his death after being reminded of the joy of living and of loving, of family and friends, of all the goodness he rejects in favor of adding more misery to the world and to himself - that’s what causes him to change.

So there’s this alright miniseries on HBO, “The Head,” which is set in an Antarctic research station. I had a few complaints about it but the main one was that it never looked cold despite supposedly being at deadly sub-zero temperatures.

So now that’s a thing I notice in media—the successful illusion of cold.

❄️⛄️ Merry Wintersday and Merry Crisis to all! ⛄️❄️

I'm quite in "exhausted hermit" mode lately, but I'm happy y'all seem to find the toypoc post useful ;v;

[theheadlessgroom]

I guess we all just have to make peace with the fact that the best Haunted Mansion film adaptation we're ever going to get is the Muppets version.

((…yeah? Yeah. I can believe that, sad as it may be!))

[candyheartedchy]

Here's a silly imagine!

Coraline cleaning something, either a wall, window, whatever! just some kind of surface but she doesn't have anything big enough to clean with.

She picks Spongebob up and starts rubbing him against the wall cus.. he's a sponge fghj He'd probably find it amusing and start giggling away! Kinda like that bit in A Muppet's Christmas Carol where Gonzo uses Rizzo to wipe a window and he says "Thank you for making me a part of this" (only in the goofy, happy Spongebob voice)

Just something silly : >

[i-am-trans-gwender]

The Muppets should make more movies based on classic literature like they used. Despite the humor they took themselves seriously and were usually the best adaptation of the story.

Examples: Muppets Christmas Carol, Muppets Treasure Island and Muppets Wizard of Oz (the last was kinda mid)

Hear me out: Muppets Paradise Lost

Since I didn't communicate clearly earlier:

2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 39

Oh, God lord, Sam

Okay, yes, yes, sure

Just, be prepared for a long post I guess then. Ill skip the ones I already answered

2. show us a picture of your handwriting?

3. 3 films you could watch for the rest of your life and not get bored of?

The Imitation Game, The Muppet Christmas Carol and Corpse Bride

4. what’s an inside joke you have with your family or friends?

Ah...a evil version of "You've got a friend in me" from Toy Story with one of my friends

5. what made you start your blog?

Honestly? No idea. Technically I've been here since 2014 and I kinda just joined to see pretty pics in the beginning. And now here we are, neck deep in the Good Omens fandom

6. what’s the best and worst part of being online/a creator?

The best is honestly the interaction. You guys really have no idea how nice the Good Omens fandom is. I used to be a "creator" for the Yuri on Ice fandom and it didn't used to be half of this. It's very exciting.

The worst? Maybe the pressure to post new stuff? Which is not exactly no one's fault but mine, but alas

7. what scares you the most and why?

Ah. Dying in pain? I don't like pain and I don't appreciate dying so, yeah. Kinda logic

8. any reacquiring dreams?

I don't think so?

9. tell a story about your childhood

We went to the beach this one time and I, for some reasons, made friends with this one guy I never saw again in my life. Somehow he caught a big ass fish (or big in toddler scale) and gave it to me and my first reaction was toss it back into the ocean. It was a magnificent throw, lemme tell ya. For a 3 year old, anyway

10. would you say you’re an emotional person?

It depends on how mentally stable I am and who I am with. But yes, overall, I would say so

11. what do you consider to be romance?

Small things, like sleeping cuddling, cooking together, drinking coffee together at the window in a sunday morning, kissing in the rain. My idea of romance is very...fairytale-y. And not realistic. That's why I am very very good by myself

12. what’s some good advice you want to share?

Don't look for yourself in other people. You're good enough to make yourself happy. You don't need anyone else so don't think you do. Other people are a bonus, not a requirement

13. what are you doing right now?

Answering this long ass thing thanks to you, Sam

14. what’s something you’ve always wanted to do but maybe been to scared to do?

Piercings. I've conquered my fear of tattoos and piercing are next, write what I'm telling you

15. what do you think of when you hear the word “home”?

My grandma's house

16. if you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

Physically? My weight. Because I've been fighting it ever since I was like 4 and so I could go under surgery and change my chest.

In general? Just...I would like to be more simple. I feel like other people in the world are way simpler than I am. Think and feel in a simpler way. Or I'm too complicated, depends on how you want to see it. I would like to feel simple

18. do you believe in ghosts and/or aliens?

No, to both. If I allowed myself to believe in any of those I would become way too paranoid and that's a no no

19. favourite thing about the day?

Getting home after a long day

20. favourite things about the night?

Actually getting to sleep properly, which is being an impossibility at the moment

21. are you a spiritual person?

No. I don't believe in any god or religion or entity. I max believe that the universe has my back and everything will work out somehow. But that's it

22. say 3 things about someone you love

My grandma is an amazing cook. I love her snuggles. I miss her every day

23. say 3 things about someone you hate

My uncle was assaulted last week, aparently. Not to be mean, but he could have died. I wish he had died

24. what’s one thing you’re proud of yourself for?

Not having killed myself when I really really wanted to. Living is super nice and I enjoy it quite a lot

25. fave season and why?

Autumn. Because it's when I was born and it's spooky season! And hella cozy! I love cozy!

26. fave colour and why?

Blue. Because it feels calming and reminds me of the ocean and/or water in general

27. any nicknames?

My friends used to call me "Mouse" when I was in school. It was an inside joke

28. do you collect anything?

I collect books and military jackets

30. what’s one thing that never fails to make you happy/happier?

Honestly? Without being sappy, you guys. Every time I'm having a shit day and I come here to complain y'all manage to cheer me up. It's very sweet and I thank you very much

31. are you messy or organised?

I am proudly organized in my messiness

32. how many tabs do you have open right now?

On pc? 4

On the phone? 48. 47 of those are fanfics

33. any hobbies?

Mainly reading and writing. I don't have time for much else

34. any pet peeves?

When people are slow. Not only walking, but in general: thinking, moving. It annoys the shit out of me

35. do you trust easily?

Oh no. Not at all. I think the only people I currently trust are my grandma and my therapist. And one of them I pay them to trust them so-

36. are you an open book or do you have walls up?

Way way too many walls up. I've been broken more times than I care to count and that does something to someone, lemme tell ya

37. share a secret

I stole a Hello Kitty necklace from a girl I hated when I was like 7. I still have it, as a trophy. I really hated that girl

39. youtuber you’ve been obsessed with and why?

Pinely! He's so fucking funny and I love his accent. Besides, his videos are amazing. Go watch it!

Ooof, okay. That's it, right? I tried to give short answers so it wouldn't get too annoying, but there we are. Hope you're happy, Sam!

tbh if the events of muppet christmas carol’s opening number is a common occurrence considering how nonchalant scrooge seems about it i’m kinda shocked his redemption didn’t happen years earlier considering if i was on my morning walk and an entire city’s worth of muppets began singing at me about how much of an asshole I was I’d be pretty pressured to start changing my ways
