#beetlejuice home

[zestydistress]

The song Home from the Beetlejuice musical has me HEARTBROKEN and I need to explain why and my interpretations of it.

Mama, I could use some help here Tired of talking to myself here

She knows that if her mom was nearby she would see her, it's an infinite abyss of nothingness. Despite that, she feels like maybe, maybe if she calls for her she will come. She's tired. She's been alone, talking to the wind, for months, hoping and praying for a sign from her mom that maybe, just maybe, she isn’t alone.

Back at home, you don't exist So here I am in the abyss

She knows her dad. He’s stubborn, just like her. He will NEVER talk about dead mom. EVER. The only reason he does is to tell her to move on, and that's HIS way of grieving. To move forward and put on a brave face. He still thinks about her constantly, in everything. She was his world too. But he NEVER talked about her, because it hurt too much. It made her feel invisible, the one thing she felt she could talk to him about at all, and he pushed her away. He never had an interest in her or her mom’s love for the macabre, but he still loved them. But now, they can’t talk because they don’t know each other. They never knew each other. So, she is in the abyss. She feels like she NEEDS her mom back. Dead mom is the only one who understood her, the only one who talked to her, the only one who SAW her.

Are you really in this place? It's like the emptiness of space I could search for all eternity And never see your face

She’s confused on how anyone could be here for eternity. She doesn’t see how anyone can be here, and Miss Argentina had told her that they are there FOREVER. No leaving for the surface world, nothing. Just the infinite abyss. Forever. She’s uncertain if she will actually find her mom here. She doesn’t know if this whole thing will be for naught.

Help me out I'm lost without you Standing Stuck on this impossible road No idea which way to go Whichever path I choose I lose, you know And I don't know which way's home I don't know which way's home

Exactly what she said. She’s lost without her, and stuck. Stuck with making the only decision she thinks she has: 1. Hunt her down to the ends of the netherworld just for the chance to see her face one last time, or 2. Go back home with her dad, and be forced to remain silent about dead mom forever. Or even worse… forget her. She NEVER wants to forget her. And whichever path she chooses, she loses. She can’t stay here, in the netherworld, to hunt her down. She can’t. She’ll literally die, one way or another. No liquids are allowed, she’ll die of dehydration, it doesn’t say no food is allowed but I would assume they don’t eat. And whatever path she takes, she’s not sure which one would be home. Going back with her dad? It’s not home. No place is home without her mom there in any form. But being stuck nowhere? Chasing after a concept she’s built of her dead mom who might not even be in the netherworld? That sounds more like hell than home. It’s a lose-lose. Either way, she will be suffering. Either way, she knows she will be without her family.

You always saw life as a game But since you left, it sucks to play I'm beaten up and bruised Confused by rules that alter every day

She doesn’t understand other people. No one was like her mom, and everyone has different and altering social rules. And that's just with other people, it could very well be the rules Charles alters every single day, refusing to discuss anything and everything about dead mom. Avoiding her, avoiding being an actual father.

Where to next? You left but I'm still standing Spinning on this infinite road Terrified of letting you go No light above and there's no hope below And I don't know which way's home

Spinning on this infinite road meaning she can’t make a decision, turning between the fork in the road and never seeing the end. Never seeing a happy ending. She is terrified. She’s a teenager. She can’t let go of Emily. She was the only one who saw her. No light above meaning there is no light without her mom there, above in the living world. According to the cut song “Mamma Would” Lydia described her mom as “as bright and as warm as the sun”. There would be no light above, and there would be no hope below. A desolate place such as the netherworld would destroy her if she stayed to search for her mom. There’s already no hope of finding her anyway, she’s gone. Stuck in the infinite abyss of nothingness. Like Juno said, “Whatever you think you’re looking for, you’re not gonna find it.”

Mom, I've got my heart in my hand Speak to me and I'll understand One little word to know I'm not alone And show me the way back home Is there a way back home?

She’s desperate. Clinging onto any hope at all that her mom is there and present, like she used to be. She desperately wants to hear her, to have her tell her the solution, to explain things, to be there. She knows, deep down, that she won’t find her, but she hopes. She has her heart in her hand and she’s begging for her to respond. Just one little word so she knows.

The nothingness ahead of me Is this the end you meant for me?

She knows her mom never meant for anything like this to happen, she knows dead mom would never want this for her daughter. But still, she can’t help but question her. Ask. Is this what you wanted? Is there a way to be together again? You didn’t want this ending for me, but did you want us to be here, together? Is there a way for me to feel complete again with me in your arms?

Every living minute There's no home without you in it

As she says. There’s no home without her, but there is no home without everyone else either. She still associates home back in New York, with her mom and dad. She still wants that life back. She doesn’t want things to change, she doesn’t want to have new people in her life, she just wants her mom. Even if she cares for those new people, she would be willing to leave them all if her mom just heard her call and asked it of her.

I'm falling, quit stalling Your daughter is calling your name I've burned all my bridges and came

She’s desperate, on her last thread of hope, and she KNOWS her mom won’t come, but she’s trying. She’s desperately begging and crying for her mom to come. Maybe she feels a little betrayed. She feels as if, maybe, her mom IS hearing her. Quit stalling. Come home. Your DAUGHTER is calling your name, PLEASE come back. You always heard her call before, even when she never thought you would. So hear her now. HEAR HER. 

She feels as if she’s burnt all her bridges, destroyed her ties with everyone she loves, even those at arms length, just to see her mom again. She NEEDS to see her again. She’s calling. She’s desperate. She needs her mom. 

(Charles’ speech is heartbreaking too, just imagining losing the love of your life, and having no idea how to process it, so you shut down and push forward. You refuse to acknowledge the loss because it’ll hurt more if you do. But you’re also pushing away your daughter, and perhaps that's because she reminds you so much of your wife. As Lydia described herself in “Dead Mom”, “I’m your clone, your strange creation.” so it’s safe to assume they look almost identical. And maybe, he started pushing her away a little because of that. He reminds her so much of her mom, and it hurts. It hurts to look at an almost carbon copy of his love, and she’s loved in a different way but still a part of his world, and talk about how much the loss of his wife hurts. But he needs to. He’s always pushed her away according to a cut song called “A Little More Of Your Time.” He was afraid he would mess up as a father ever since the day she was born. He was terrified that he wouldn’t be enough, so he forced himself into his work and just earned that dime. He didn’t spend much time with her at all before her mother passed, and when she did pass, he couldn’t stand not knowing his daughter. So, he got her a life coach, someone who takes care of her for him. Who he fell for, and he hoped that she could be Lydia’s new mom. Which Lydia felt he was replacing her mom, but that's another rant-)

I'm gonna go back home Adam, Barbara, Delia and Dad It's messy but they're all that I have

In Dead Mom, Lydia says “You won’t believe the mess that we’ve become” in a negative way, and here, she explains that these people are her home, whether she realized that before or not. And even though it’s messy and convoluted, they’re all she has. And she loves them. It’s positive here.

I'll make the best of being flesh and bone Mama, I'm going home

I love the line “I’ll make the best of being flesh and bone” because it feels like she’s choosing life. She’s choosing to make the best of life, and people. And it feels like she’s listening to what Miss Argentina said in "What I Know Now" “I would ride the highs and cherish the lows, knowing it's a quick trick 'round the rodeo. So before they lower the curtain, be certain to enjoy the show” It feels like she’s confirming, yes, I’ll make the best of being flesh and bone, I will ride the highs and cherish the lows now that I know the ending of our lives. And she leaves with one final goodbye, telling her mom, just one last time, that she was going home. That she had a home and she knew where to go now. And while she’ll always miss her every day, she left her family behind and she’s going home now.

TLDR: The Beetlejuice Musical has me heartbroken and I can't move on.

🪲 Beetlejuice Wally and Sandworm Home 🪱

I’m ready for Halloween

This isn’t Au stuff, I just wanted to draw this. Unfinished and all

I want to draw Eddie and Frank as Adam and Barbara in their Monster faces next, though I did say I was going to post even slightly disturbing stuff on my other account, so that’s where it’s going.

I’ve been think of drawing the puppets as characters of Tim Burton movies.

What would make more sense, Jack Skellington Howdy or Edward Scissorhands Howdy?

I’m leaning to Jack

You keep getting married to Beetlejuice

This fucker loves to party (and he loves you), so you are having weddings constantly

You officially get married in private, with only Lydia, the Deetzs and the Maitlands there. You take it easy so he can adjust to being alive, but Delia still throws a pretty fun party- if a little...odd. Still, it's enough for Beetlejuice to learn his alcohol tolerance isn't NEARLY as high now that he has a heartbeat.

"Babes!! I cannot fuckin wait to get married to you all over again." He's half asleep, laying his entire weight on you, reeking of booze, smiling like a dope. "Uh-huh. Me too, Beej." You pat his back.

(Also, turns out now that he sleeps for real, he snores. you think its cute.)

Once he's human (and more or less used to it), you have a more traditional wedding with your friends and family all there, and throw an all night reception and after party at a bar - beej loves the energy and is cheering on your grandparents to throw ass on the dance floor all night

"Fuck it up Agnes! Hell yeah!" (This is probably not your grandma's name. Actually, is that even your grandma?)

This goes over not great, but better than expected; everyone has a good time. You do too, of course. You are drunk and wearing white and laughing so loud, and when you aren't dancing, Beetlejuice can barely keep his hands off you. Hell, when you ARE dancing Beetlejuice can't keep his hands off you.

you go to Las Vegas for the honeymoon and get married again - Beej insists on the most tacky wedding possible and you agree.

You get married by an Elvis impersonater in a sticky little chapel on the strip. You wear a suit, and he wears a tight, short wedding dress with a veil and pumps.

"third time's the charm?" You ask, when Elvis finally says to kiss the groom. " Oh no, babes. We're hitting the drive through wedding chapel next."

"Deal!" And you dip him before kissing him square in the mouth.

You keep getting married to Beetlejuice, because you both want to make fucking SURE it sticks.

[weirdlythneederina]

A few months back, I drew Wally cosplaying as Beetlejuice! (There was a Beetlejuice musical in town at the time, so i thought, why not😊)

[frenchfry99]

"Can we keep it?"

The goober has been found

Rob's right tho, Lilly does remind me of a puppy a bit. Even though she's a cat. Puppycat then?

Poppet & Lilly are so precious to me augh-

(tato means dad)

Lil malicious creature

Lilly can be intimidating to literally anyone but her dads smh (maybe it's the clown nose)

Siblings confirmed 🤨🤨?? Just thought their dynamic would be silly cuz Lilly would be the Ashton defender number one (though there's already a whole bunch of em lol)

Ik this ver of Colt and Rob would not care for some random kid but I found this idea silly -

Two unhinged criminals and their possibly more unhinged child.

How did Rob find her? Well she's been lurking around the mob base for god knows how long (but literally, prolly only Home knew she's here-) until one day Lilly wasn't careful enough and got spotted by Rob or someone else.

Poppet and Ashton would be the only ones Lilly causes the least trouble to-

Tbh Lilly just wants attention (therefore her only fear is being left alone) and would commit crimes and various mischief to make sure you won't forget about her, unlike her og ver who'd rather give you some silly gifts & help. Though she still tries to be helpful in this au, but how competent and serious a child can be?

( ocs by @clownsuu @cupophrogs @ashchoo @thelone-copper )

(Also don't mind that style & brushes change on literally each of those I was going through a crisis)

[lem0nraat]

Omg me posting about a Beetlejuice AU instead of my actual main au??? Say it isn’t so!!

Anyways Wally and Barnaby are both Beetlejuice I will explain later but basically they’re two halves of a whole. Are they gay? Yesnt.

AU is co-owned by my friend Blu but I FORGOT THEIR FUCKING TUMBLR @ (Blu if you see this pls credit yourself AA)

Barnaby is half sandworm!! Why?? Well…LOREEEEEE!!!
