not to keep going on about VHS christmas carol and how it reunited old cast mates but the part that keeps sticking out to me is The Ghost of Christmas Past scene with Jamie Lynn Beatty and Dylan Saunders.

Like these are 2 OG starkids, both of them have been in tons of starkid shows but in all the shows they've done together they've never really had many scenes together. I think the most significant pair up before this would be Jane's A Car (and that was only a zoom read)

its just so cool to see them next to each other and playing off each other on stage after all these years.

(side note love The Ghost of Christmas Past for Jamie, she usually plays such strong comic characters, and while the dance she does is funny, she plays the ghost straight, like "my job isn't to comfort you," "if you can't handle it that's on you" there are moments of i dont know, coldness, seriousness from this character we never usually get to see her do, its CHILLS)

and like in the final ghost when AJ Holmes, Brian Holden, and Brain Rosthenhall are playing various chorus members reacting to Scrooge death. these are 3 other OG's and they just seem to be having so much playing off each other

I dunno the point of this point, I guess to reflect how neat and cool it is that these people who knew eachother in college are still doing shows together.

starkids pretty cool

so this is a direct quote from a christmas carol and like

It was a strange figure—like a child: yet not so like a child as like an old man, viewed through some supernatural medium, which gave him the appearance of having receded from the view, and being diminished to a child's proportions. Its hair, which hung about its neck and down its back, was white as if with age; and yet the face had not a wrinkle in it, and the tenderest bloom was on the skin. The arms were very long and muscular; the hands the same, as if its hold were of uncommon strength. Its legs and feet, most delicately formed, were, like those upper members, bare... But the strangest thing about it was, that from the crown of its head there sprung a bright clear jet of light, by which all this was visible; and which was doubtless the occasion of its using, in its duller moments, a great extinguisher for a cap, which it now held under its arm. Even this, though, when Scrooge looked at it with increasing steadiness, was not its strangest quality. For as its belt sparkled and glittered now in one part and now in another, and what was light one instant, at another time was dark, so the figure itself fluctuated in its distinctness: being now a thing with one arm, now with one leg, now with twenty legs, now a pair of legs without a head, now a head without a body: of which dissolving parts, no outline would be visible in the dense gloom wherein they melted away. And in the very wonder of this, it would be itself again; distinct and clear as ever.

and basically. all i can think is like.

You know, for all the discussion of A Christmas Carol over the years, nobody seems to give Jacob Marley the props he DESERVES.

As bad as he was in life, Jacob goes to warn his only friend what will happen if he doesn’t change his ways. He even has three other ghosts help him to make sure that Ebenezer is saved in a way he no longer can be. For all his faults, Jacob Marley was a good friend to Ebenezer Scrooge, even in death.

DuckTales Character Songs! (Part 3)

Okay, you should hopefully know the drill by now. So today, I’ll be highlighting characters that debuted in Season 2, and choosing songs that I think best fit them.

For whatever reason, I did not think of doing this last week, but if you want to look back at my previous songs, here are the links to the first two parts:

Part 1

Part 2

Part 2, continued

And again, shout-out to @glowyjellyfish for brainstorming help.

Fethry Duck

Beyond the Sea by Bobby Darin

What better song to match with Donald’s marine biology-loving cousin? Even though Fethry has his head in the clouds most of the time, his heart belongs to the ocean. Even if living in an underwater research lab isn’t the most ideal of conditions, Fethry makes it work.

Zan Owlson

Woman by Kesha (feat. The Dap-Kings Horns)

As the old adage goes, Owlson is a strong, independent woman who don’t need no man. She took over Glomgold’s company for him after he was stricken with amnesia. She probably makes plenty of money out of it. She works hard, and she’s good at what she does.

José Carioca and Panchito Pistoles

The Three Caballeros by Clarence Nash, José Oliveira, and Joaquin Garay from The Three Caballeros

Because of course.

The Three Ghosts of Christmas

Past, Present and Future by Emility

The lyrics do a good job of summing up what each of the three ghosts traditionally represent.

Lieutenant Penumbra

Power by Little Mix

This song is big, badass, bombastic, and screams female empowerment. It’s absolutely perfect for Penny.

General Lunaris

Bad Moon Rising by Creedence Clearwater Revival

It’s not just because the song has the word “moon” in the title. It’s also kind of a metaphor for Lunaris being basically a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and for the invasion that he enacted that led to the final battle of Season 2.

Violet Sabrewing

Killer Queen by Queen

Violet is an absolute enigma of a character. She’s smart, serious, intense, has a couple major hyperfixations, and is super blunt; she can be hard to read, but whoever she lets into her inner circle, she is steadfast loyal and supportive of them, as we’ve seen in episodes like Friendship Hates Magic! or Challenge of the Senior Junior Woodchucks! (even though we totally should’ve gotten more elaboration from the latter episode on her relationship with Huey). Okay, getting off track. The point is, this song kind of explains how with Violet, there is more than meets the eye. There’s more complexity to her than the casual fan might think.

John D. Rockerduck

Money, Money, Money by ABBA

We don’t know a whole lot about Rockerduck in the show, other than that he’s a super rich capitalist. So…money.

Gandra Dee

No Roots by Alice Merton

I think the tone and lyrics of the song really fit Gandra’s rebellious nature. Gandra doesn’t like being tied down to one place. She’s mysterious, with a complicated past. And I think this song sums that up well.

Drake Mallard

Man in the Mirror by Michael Jackson

“If you wanna make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and then make a change.” Drake’s a down-on-his-luck actor, trying to make an impact. But Launchpad ultimately taught him that the biggest possible impact that he could make in life is helping others. And that inspired him to take up the mantle of his childhood hero and become the terror that flaps in the night, the combination lock on the vaults of justice, Darkwing Duck. And this classic MJ track mails the point home beautifully.

"Oh Scrooge is hot!" "Oh Later Never Comes is amazing!!!" I'd like to see someone talk about the fact that Netflix straight up made the Ghosts freaking Disney characters???

Past is Rafiki, Present is Genie/Cave of Wonders and Future very loosely reminded me of Te Ka (and the little fire gremlins looked so much like Stitch it probably wasn't a coincidence)

#scrooge a christmas carol #scrooge netflix #the ghost of christmas past #the ghost of christmas present #the ghost of christmas future #im fairly certain future would have quoted hades if he canonically spoke

the ghost of christmas past has always been my favorite of the spirits in a christmas carol, in part because of how different their design seems to be in every single adaptation. here’s one out of a handful of design concepts that i drummed up! (more of them to come? maybe?)

The Lights of Long Ago Cover

Now I don’t sing here much and I would’ve posted it on YT but RN tumblr has been the only place I’ve been fine with posting ACC stuff in April.

And this was actually from a little concert/showcase I did a while back (hence why it sounds far away) but I honestly felt very good about this performance so I thought I’d let the Scrooge-posters hear it. Haha

Also this is the first full view of the Kandified Ghost of Christmas Past in full color!

Everything changed around Scrooge again, but this time to the point of totally changing place. He was now in a lively village hall, decorated for Christmas, full of dancing and laughing people. Scrooge remembered, it was a Christmas party organized at work by his former boss, good Mr Nigel Fezziwig. And Mr Fezziwig himself was there! As a boss, he was the contrary of what Scrooge was now: merry, very generous, who considered his employees like his children. During that party, young Scrooge absolutely didn't want to waste time in his work and had isolated himself but Fezziwig intended to make him come out of his shell and dragged him into the party. The young asocial man resigned... and met that night the only great love of his life, Belle. A real mutual love at first sight...

Clint’s Hearing Loss - A Meta

Clint’s hearing loss ended up having a stronger role in The Ghost of Christmas Past than I initially intended. As a result, I wanted to share how I decided what he can hear conversationally and what he can’t.

In case you haven’t watched the series, the show depicts him as having no useful hearing in his right ear and as wearing a hearing aid in his left. Without his hearing aid, Clint’s hearing appears to be on the moderate-severe side. However, with the hearing aid, Clint seems to have essentially normal hearing in all environments. To me, this felt a lot like magical hearing aid/disability erasure, so I wanted to try and take a more realistic approach.

To help with this, I did some research as to what sounds are difficult to hear and enlisted the help of a mutual who has a hearing impairment. In my research, I found a site that listed out phonemes that are typically difficult for people with a mild hearing loss to hear and then an extended list for those with a moderate hearing loss. (I realize that this is fairly generic, and my mutual mentioned that he might actually hear high frequency better because of his exposure, but I figured this was a start. And as high frequency loss is more common than low, I could find more info on it.)

Armed with these two lists of difficult to hear phonemes, I decided to break Clint’s ability to hear dialogue into three different levels.

Level 1: In relatively quiet situations, I’m writing dialogue normally. Essentially assuming that with the hearing aid, he can hear fairly normally on the left side. In my mind, this would include at home, in the car, outside on the farm, etc. as long as there isn’t any nearby radio, TV, machinery, etc.

Level 2: In noisier situations, I replaced the difficult to hear phonemes for mild hearing loss with either a dash for the letters composing the sound or a slant rhyme that incorporates easier to hear sounds. (For those who don’t know, because truthfully I didn’t until my mutual explained, a slant rhyme is a near-rhyme. They are often used in poetry and songwriting.) Environments at this level would include restaurants, airports, airplanes, cars/home with a radio or tv, etc.

Level 3: In very noisy situations or without his hearing aid, I replaced the difficult to hear phonemes for moderate hearing loss with either a dash for the letters composing the sound or a slant rhyme that incorporates easier to hear sounds. Environments at this level would include very noisy restaurants (very busy or like a Texas Roadhouse with music). A very busy Chick-Fil-A is an example or an indoor pool at a hotel where everything echoes and sounds screechy, etc.

In the likelihood that someone is speaking from his right side, I plan to up the level by 1. So, Nate talking to him on the plane from his right side would be level 3 instead of level 2.

Here’s the list of phonemes I’m using. The ones below moderate are the ones not included as difficult to hear. Mostly long vowels.

I hope that this makes sense and is, at least to some degree, a realistic depiction.

As always, thanks for reading!

Character ask: The Ghost of Christmas Past (A Christmas Carol)

Tagged by anonymous

Favorite thing about them: The gentle wisdom with which it guides Scrooge through his past, subtly coaxing him toward important realizations about his current life.

Also, the fact that it's so deliciously strange, eerie, and ethereal – seeming young and old at the same time, with muscular arms yet "most delicate" legs, its costume featuring both winter holly and summer flowers, and constantly changing shape as its light flickers, so that it's sometimes a disembodied head, sometimes a headless body, sometimes has no legs, sometimes has twenty, etc. It's a very effective symbol of memory, and how it encompasses so many things and constantly shifts and flickers in the mind. And since it's virtually impossible to adapt, this means we get an interesting wide array of different portrayals of the Ghost in different screen and stage adaptations – some male, some female, some young, some old, some human, some not-so-human – which adds freshness to each new retelling.

Least favorite thing about them: The fact that Dickens's surreal, otherwordly description of this Ghost is so impossible to capture in screen adaptations. Only one version – Richard Williams's 1971 animated short – has even come close to depicting it accurately. While I do enjoy seeing all the different creative approaches to the character, none are as fascinating as the original.

Three things I have in common with them:

*I believe it's important to remember the past to create a good present and future.

*I tend to be gentle, or at least I try to be.

*I love revisiting happy memories of past holidays.

Three things I don't have in common with them:

*I'm not a weird, insubstantial ghost.

*I can't time-travel.

*I very rarely wear white (it stains too easily).

Favorite line:

When Scrooge is afraid of falling as they're about to exit his room through the window:

"Bear but a touch of my hand there [on his heart], and you shall be upheld in more than this."

When it notices Scrooge crying at the sight of the countryside where he grew up:

"Your lip is trembling. And what is that upon your cheek?"

When the arrive at Scrooge's old school:

"The school is not quite deserted. A solitary child, neglected by his friends, is left there still."

About Scrooge's sister Fan:

"Always a delicate creature, whom a breath might have withered. But she had a large heart!"

About Fezziwig, using reverse psychology to provoke Scrooge into admitting the value of his old employer's kindness:

"A small matter to make these silly folk so full of gratitude... Why! Is it not? He has spent but a few pounds of your mortal money; three or four perhaps. Is that so much that he deserves such praise?"

brOTP: Its fellow Ghosts of Christmas, if they were to interact.

OTP: None.

nOTP: Probably any human.

Random headcanon: It was the first of the three ghosts to agree to Jacob Marley's request that they visit Scrooge. The other two were reluctant at first, because the Ghost of Christmas Present only knew the current nasty Scrooge, while the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come only knew his destiny (as it was before he changed it) to die alone and unmourned. But the Ghost of Christmas Past knew the goodhearted, lonely child and idealistic young man he once was and felt sympathy for him, so it agreed to pay the visit right away and helped to persuade the others too.

Unpopular opinion: I think Dickens meant this ghost to be masculine-presenting, not androgynous or genderless. Yes, he calls it "it," but he uses the same pronoun for all the ghosts, including the clearly masculine Marley and Ghost of Christmas Present. He describes it as like a cross between a child and an old man, and Scrooge addresses it as "sir" when they first meet. That said, its status as the strangest and most ethereal of the ghosts does make it come across as the least gendered, and its touch is described as being "as gentle as a woman's hand," so I don't mind when adaptations cast a woman or a young girl in the role.

Song I associate with them: "The Lights of Long Ago" from A Christmas Carol: The Musical.
