Crazy fics ideas, hear me out:

Posted the fic here!

Beetlejuice shouldn't have married Dolores, destiny was set for him to meet the protagonist, but he was killed before that happened.

Now she dies and comes back every time, trying to find Beetlejuice and save them both.

The Deetz and the Maitlands felt sorry for him after the end and searched for a way to help him, so they end up finding out about this past, which he didn't know about, and want to reunite them.

• Her death was very painful and sad on the first time, that would explain why she was given the chance to come back,

• The family, seeing her fall in love with a grave robber, marries her to a bad man who only wants their money, and he ends up killing her (The Corpse Bride style),

• She may have been the person who found his body and promised to love him and be with him in the afterlife/other lives, that's why the curse began,

• With him killing the leader (Dolores), the cult's followers kill her every time so they don't meet,

• She was supposed to help him improve, as a person, but this didn't happen, that's why he can't make the passing/crossing and got stuck all those years,

• The protagonist has a fixed age to die, like 25 years old, and never manages to go beyond that, making her go through this cycle several times at different times,

• Mix it with the musical, perhaps? I feel like he's more susceptible to love and be loved.

Sorry if anything sounded weird, English is not my first language, but if someone use any of these ideias, please let me know, I would love to read!

thinking about these interactions in the 1988 film:

Lydia: I wanna be dead too. Barbara: NO!

Lydia: I wanna get in [to the Netherworld]. Betelgeuse: …why?

and then in the musical you’ve got ‘Say My Name,’ where a third of the song is Betelgeuse talking (singing) Lydia out of jumping, and ‘What I Know Now’ is Miss Argentina and the entire Netherworld ensemble telling her to go home and live her life to the fullest.

the fact that this film / show about death has SUCH an emphasis on keeping this depressed teenager alive is so meaningful. and yes, Betelgeuse’s contributions here are quite likely selfish. but from a Doylist perspective, the fact that even HIS immediate reaction to Lydia’s suicidal thoughts is negative makes it mean even more. there is intention here. this is a story about living life.

plus, when we get to ‘Jump in the Line,’ she’s so HAPPY! in both versions! it all makes me really glad they didn’t go with that earlier version where she did die.
