More Lydia

CAN I JUST SAY, to this day I still think cutting out "Children We Didn't Have" from the Beetlejuice musical was a huge mistake.

When I watched the musical and they sang "Ready Set" I got the strong impression that they just... didn't actually even WANT kids, but felt like they had to in order to accomplish what they thought was supposed to be an Ideal Life™️

And then when they got around to the second act, I found myself wondering "okay... so what are the Maitlands doing here...?" Because they kind of fell out of relevancy. They no longer wanted to scare ppl out of their home, Lydia wasn't rlly talking to them, and they made Zero mention of the regrets from their life or any current goal.

"Children We Didn't Have" not only makes it clear that this was a Genuine passion of Barbara's, but also connected her and Lydia's character arcs more solidly. Barbara 2.0 in comparison feels like, a weaker attempt at what the cut song did perfectly and emotionally, and removes the Maitlands' original big character aspect of "regretful would-be parents" by referring to Lydia as a friend instead of a daughter figure :/

Just. LISTEN TO THIS:

SHOULDA KEPT IT 🥺

BJ died at age 27, making him a member of the 27 club. he's currently looking for a way to get back on stage despite, you know, being dead and all.

lydia deetz is a young woman who frequents the maitland record store, owned by adam and barbara maitland. not just any record store, this one is "abandoned." adam and barbara are ghosts. lydia spends a lot of her time hanging at the store, listening to the records that never got sold and talking to adam and barbara, figuring that they're probably very lonely as ghosts. she herself feels lonely as well...maybe she should join them.

BJ hates being dead. in life he was no more than a petty criminal in a band, but now that he's invisible he's got no one to piss off and no stage to perform on. he's kind of an attention whore so the fact that no one can see him now is like torture to him. he and the maitlands actually got to meet while they were all alive, so they know that this guy is bad news. he knows they don't like him so when he's feeling particularly bored, he goes to the record store to pester them. and that's when he meets lydia, a living human who can see ghosts. he IMMEDIATELY latches onto her. see, he has this curse: you can summon him into the realm of the living by saying his name three times. surely this chick can help him out.

...all I want is for someone, anyone, to look my way and say 'Hey, I see you. I accept you. I fear for my safety around you.'

or, as Delia would say, Perception is Reality

Something tells me that beej is the kinda guy who would leave the guts in a pumpkin on purpose to freak people out- so I drew lydia and beetlejuice with their very own carved pumpkins!
