Character ask: Tiny Tim (A Christmas Carol)

Tagged by anonymous

Favorite thing about them: His general likability. He's a sweet, gentle, thoughtful little boy whom everyone loves and who deserves to live and thrive. There's nothing more to say, really.

Least favorite thing about them: The fact that he's a disabled character used as a plot device for a non-disabled character's personal growth. But since Dickens presumably meant him to address the real social issue of impoverished children becoming disabled and/or dying because of the selfishness and greed of the rich, I'm willing to forgive it.

Three things I have in common with them:

*I spend a lot of time alone, which makes the thoughtful.

*I'm close to my family.

*I love Christmas.

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

*I'm not a child.

*I grew up in relative wealth.

*I'm not physically disabled or chronically ill.

Favorite line: What else?

"God bless us, every one!"

brOTP: His parents, his siblings, and Scrooge after he becomes "a second father" to him.

OTP: None, he's too young.

nOTP: Scrooge, or any member of his family.

Random headcanon: Someday, a few years after the events of the book, Scrooge will privately tell him the whole story of his adventures with the ghosts. He'll never tell anyone else about it, and at first he'll assume that Tim won't believe him, but Tim, spiritual-minded boy that he is, will believe every word of it. He'll also figure out that Scrooge saw him dead in the alternate future, even though Scrooge will try to avoid telling him, but he won't mind because he already knows the story's happy ending.

Unpopular opinion: He's not an overly mawkish portrayal of a saintly, "inspirationally disadvantaged" child. He's a sentimental figure, of course, but Dickens writes him with a delicate touch that keeps him from crossing that line. And while I don't dislike adaptations that slightly enhance his saintliness (e.g. The Muppet Christmas Carol having him happily echo his father's toast to Scrooge, inspiring his reluctant mother to finally do so too, when the book says he drank the toast but "didn't give twopence for it"), I'm also glad that other adaptations let him be a little more impish (e.g. Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol having him angrily glare at the toast to Scrooge and messily stuff his face with food in the final scene).

Song I associate with them:

"The Beautiful Day" from the musical Scrooge

"Bless Us All" from The Muppet Christmas Carol

Favorite pictures of them:

This Victorian-era illustration.

This illustration by Sol Eytinge Jr – a rare drawing of the rarely-adapted scene where Bob sits beside Tim's dead body in the Christmas Yet to Come vision.

This illustration by Jessie Wilcox Smith.

Terry Kilburn in the 1938 film.

Glyn Dearman in the 1951 film:

The Gerald McBoing-Boing-lookalike Tim from Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol, 1962 (with his beloved razzleberry dressing).

Richard Beaumont in Scrooge, 1970:

Anthony Walters in the 1984 TV film (the youngest live-action Tim, at just 6 years old, and the most genuinely sickly-looking).

Robin the Frog in The Muppet Christmas Carol, 1992.

Jacob Moriarty in A Christmas Carol: The Musical, 2004:
