beetlebabes on their way to mock their exes

(but honestly the fact that both of their exes were just trying to use them and bj literally saved lydia from repeating his mistake makes me feel so jffksdkjdf)

I just think they're everything to me that's all 💞

When If Tim Burton makes a Beetlejuice 3, he should somehow get Mary on a Cross to be in it because that song is so Beetlebabes.

Where did Lydia strength to hit her boyfriend come from?

Keep in mind Lydia and BJ were both furious at Rory.

It got confirmed BJ's been watching Lydia even though he's not on screen. He was watching everything - Rory gaslighting her, exploiting her because he considered her weak and vulnerable, and he saw Rory get engaged the love of his life. Beetlejuice is just as pissed, if not, more than Lydia.

That punch is coming from the rage of both of them. BJ gave her some of his power to get their sweet revenge. After all, she was the one that was manipulated this whole time. He really does just love Lydia in his own weird way, and isn't afraid to show it

How I felt watching the movie today.

Eventually I'll go into detail about what I think of the whole thing, but it's a busy weekend & week.

Wherever you go, whatever you do, I will be right here waiting for you.

This scene cracked me up 😅🖤

Beetlejuice and Lydia blowing kisses at each other 😘

A concept. Another character injects Beetlejuice with his own truth serum.

Beetlejuice: *to Lydia* I've been worried sick about you since that day in the attic when you told me you wanted to get into the afterlife! I caused ninety percent of those hauntings for your show so it would be a success and you'd have another reason to keep on living! I've never been held by a woman and I fantasize all the time about falling asleep in your arms! I dream about drowning in the darkness of your eyes! I love you more than Edgar Allen Poe loved Lenore and I'd let that fucking raven peck out both my eyeballs if it would make you smile! Lydia: O.O Astrid: O.O Delia: O.O Everyone within a fifty mile radius: O.O Beetlejuice: Shit. Did all of that just come out of my mouth?

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice (2024)

♫ Spring was never waiting for us, girl It ran one step ahead As we followed in the dance Between the parted pages and were pressed In love's hot, fevered iron Like a striped pair of pants ♫

Beetlejuice has literally been stalking Lydia for years. He's intentionally off-putting and gross. He openly enjoys freaking her out. It's his way of showing affection. He's like a horror Pepe Le Pew.

They refer to him as being a demon at least 3 times in BJBJ, as well as the fact that he had a satanic first wedding and cannot make the sign of the cross without setting himself on fire. He's evil. Funny, and sometimes helpful, but still evil. Doesn't mean he can't fall in love.

No, movie Lydia isn't into him. Why would she be? He's always terrorizing her and trying to coerce her into marriage, presumably for selfish reasons. Plus he's covered in bugs and spews guts and fluids wherever he goes. But that doesn't mean that they can't both change eventually. Hell, it's still a better love story than Twilight or (gag) Rory/Lydia.

So there is no "Is this particular scenario okay and not problematic?" with Beetlejuice. You're either on board with him being a literal monster, or you're not. You have to acknowledge it, accept it, and still be into it to be a Beetlebabe who isn't trying to make BJ into something nicer and cleaner than he is. We like it because monsters and goth girls are fun, not because it's in any way related to real life. Beetlejuice is about as far away from real life as you can get.

Sometimes you need a break from reality, morality, and acceptability. It's healthy to take a break from all that societal pressure. The reason horror and subversive comedy is popular is because it gives us some much needed freedom from the limited ways we're always expected to feel and behave.
