Random Beetlejuice Musical Headcanon:

With how crafty Barbara and Adam are, they'd likely have small cuts and scrapes and callouses on their hands.

Adam probably has a couple nicks on his hands/forearms, and callouses on his fingers, plus a couple of splinters.

The side of Barbara's hands (the side opposite of the thumb) would essentially have been rubbed raw and red due to many lessons on a throwing wheel. (With how good her vases are, I'd estimate a few months of lessons, which would rub her hands raw. This is coming from someone who works on a throwing wheel.) She also probably has clay and glaze in her hair/on her dress and keeps lotion on standby to rehydrate her hands after making pottery on the wheel.

Barbara and Adam were Astrid’s godparents

they did get to meet her, but they moved on when she’s young(young enough for her to slightly remember them, but not old enough for her to remember their ghostly side).

Astrid’s middle name is Barbara

Adam Maitland (Beetlejuice 1988) Headcanons

This is taken from information I have gathered and what I've observed. Some of it is canon, other parts are me making my own conclusions. Enjoy!

Adam is the type who enjoys doing crossword puzzles (especially ones that come in the paper) and find it games. He just strikes me as someone who'd like those

He's a blanket hog. This man gets cold easily so he likes to bundle up at night. Despite him now being a ghost, he continues this out of habit.

Occasionally takes up the bed, so his s/o might wind up on the floor. He's also a cuddle bug, so if you're dating him, be aware of that! Ghost or not, he'll try.

Model builder, and is proud of his town replica. I could see him being a fan of model trains too.

Craftsman, loves woodworking and making little trinkets, like a horse. Is a fan of renovation as well, it is shown by the restoration of their house and his ideas for the town in the film.

A bookworm, prefers reading over TV any day! He's not picky, he'll read almost anything.

Stutters when angry. He starts off strong, but proceeds to stumble on his words.

Friendly, polite, protective, sweet, somewhat nerdy, mediator, INFP-T.

Small fascination with spiders. He most likely has a book or two on them.

Lydia put a fish tank in the attic for him. He gave each of them a name, but his favorite one is the gold fish named Goldie. He's basic like that, haha!

This man has been watching her painting clay jars for hours with a silly smile on his face and hearts all around.

HEADCANON TIME BCUZ I WANT YOU TO FEEL BETTER

Adam and Barbara both know how to sew, and they both made little dolls of themselves for Beetlejuice to hold on to. Both dolls have a little packet of stuff that reminds Beetlejuice of their scents and they are also weighted!!

One time, Beetlejuice and Lydia went to the beach. Beetlejuice dug a hole and laid in it, while Lydia covered him with a blanket. They put a cup of French fries over the towel and spent all afternoon trying to catch a seagull.

The Shoggoth once drank some shampoo “just to see what it would taste like”. Cue Barbara and Adam frantically trying to wash its mouth out. Every time it tried to talk, all that would come out was garbled words and bubbles.

Beetlejuice kicks in his sleep. The only thing that calms him down is Adam or Barbara petting his hair

That’s all I’ve got right now, I’ll think of more stuff!! Hope things get better for you

-Cosmo 🖤✨

Fuuuuck these are so cute!!!! Thank you….

- THAT. IS. SO. CUTE. LITTLE DOLLS TO KEEP THEM CLOSE WHEN THEYRE NOT PHYSICALLY THERE. IM GONNA CHEW OFF MY CAR BUMPER!!!! /pos

- Imagine the chaos if they ever actually caught a seagull… what was their plan? What were they going to do with it?

Hehe I’m just imagining the like ten seconds of celebration followed by “oh god what do we do with it now”

- GOD. YEAH. PROBABLY. That doofus will eat anything that might smell or look appetizing… the bubbles coming out every time it bickers with Barbara and Adam about “but it smells so nice!!” hehehe

- Absolutely. I think that guy probably even sleep fights or sleep walks. But yeah head pets from their partners calm them right down :)

Thank you again for these, they are phenomenal <3

A couple months ago my girlfriend and I finished a document that explains the lore of what we've been calling our "Beetlejuice Canon" (essentially an altered version of Beetlejuice's universe that blends the cartoon and the musical in a unique way.) I haven't shared it anywhere until now, which is wild because I typically love sharing stuff like this.

It's not a fanfic or anything, but it goes fairly in-depth about characters, environments, relationships, etc. I figure there must be SOMEONE who likes reading this kind of stuff, right? So, here it is for those people.

Do you have any headcanons about how Barbara and Adam met/got together (and would the movie Maitlands be different from the musical Maitlands?)

in my opinion, they met in college! they took a class together, my thought was something related to sociology. i think adam would find it interesting and a way to manage his anxiety, and i think barb would be into humanities in general and at this point still exploring what she really wanted to study. sophomore year, maybe? adam went there locally, but barb was an out of state transfer. they didn’t start going out until a later year or even after they finished schooling. one of those couples that everyone just knew they were going to end up together and were sick of waiting by the end of it.

as for differences between the movie and the musical… that’s not something i’ve thought about very much to be honest!! i definitely have small headcanons due to the different mannerisms of the actors that play them (and of course the story differences), but when it comes to stuff like this that is pretty much all headcanon material i find it difficult to see the differences.

if anything, i think that movie adam & barbara would’ve gotten together sooner. barb would be the one to ask him out. as for the musical maitlands, i think barbara may have caught feelings later than adam, making her a little oblivious to his feelings until he finally asks her out. when she decided to go on the date, it all sort of clicked for her, too.

Random Yandere Headcanons: Platonic Yanderes: Barbara Maitland & Adam Maitland

Even if they do mean to be friends with them, they usually just end up being like another set of guardians for them.

They would like someone who is more of a homebody but if they aren't then they would find ways or reasons to keep them at home most of the time. (Since they can't leave the house.)

This doesn't mean that they want them to stay in the house all the time (maybe a little bit.) but they do want most of their time to be at home.

They will always have someone that will listen to them with those two. However, they must keep in mind that those two will share things that have been told to them with each other even if it was only meant for one of them.

Admittedly if they believe something is wrong with them like someone is messing with them and they won't tell the pair they will find other ways. like if they have some kind of journal then the pair will peek inside. (They do feel guilty for this but feel it is necessary.)

Beetlejuice: The Musical headcanon because you guys liked my last one:

In the same vein of "Beetlejuice has mood ring hair," a while into their death, Barbara's dress and Adam's flannel will change colors depending on their mood. Purple for sadness, red for rage, green is happy/neutral, etc.

Barbara occasionally has a deep maroon color that Adam and Beetlejuice never have, purely for what she feels at the loss of what she never got to do in life. Barbara always had a very sad physical reaction whenever Adam mentions kids or "having never been able to use his dad jokes while he was alive." The maroon is loss. Loss for the kids she couldn't have.

I need to write a fic with the maitlands going ham on Jeremy’s ass cause no one messes with their goddaughter,

(I know them being Astrid’s godparents technically isn’t canon, but it’s canon to me).
