How Beetlejuice would act when he is in love? 🕸️

;; That man would be so.. Head over heels for the person he loves, fr. ¦🕸️

BJ is the type of guy who wouldn't confess so easily

Yet, he tries to give a little hints to say "yk what, i love you" but in his language it would be like:

"lookin' good hotstuff." "ya should get naked rn" well, in general he would be so much flirty

̶H̶e̶'̶s̶ ̶s̶o̶ ̶s̶m̶i̶t̶t̶e̶n̶ ̶

Head over heels for ya, that's for sure.

He wouldn't tell that, yet he likes to touch you (not in perverted way...yet-)

BJ always would do something to at least touch your arm or something

Like, he would playfully poke your arm

"what? Just messing with ya!"

̶B̶J̶ ̶w̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ ̶d̶a̶y̶d̶r̶e̶a̶m̶ ̶a̶b̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶w̶e̶d̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶,̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶h̶e̶ ̶w̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶s̶m̶i̶l̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶l̶i̶k̶e̶ ̶a̶ ̶i̶d̶i̶o̶t̶ ̶

You would playfully ruffle his hair, he would tell you to stop

Yet, he likes ̶L̶o̶v̶e̶s̶ it.

He often imagines himself cuddling up with you,

Totally not paying attention when you two talk, he would be busy thinking how sweet your voice is, or how good you look.

No matter what body type you have - he will love you.

I mean, he's a chubby man himself, if you were like him, hell! He would love you even more

Gosh. You love him so much, and he loves to to moon and back.

Something that has always interested me a lot about Musicaljuice specifically is trying to figure out who or what exactly he is.

Let me try to explain...

In the movie, the rules of the Netherworld imply that everyone who has passed away was once a human at some point in time, Beetlejuice included.

While we still don't know much about Moviejuice's past, we at least have an idea that he is a several-hundred-year-old ghost with demonic powers.

While I would consider Moviejuice to be more of a demon in terms of power, I would definitely consider Toonjuice to be more of a demon overall (as in both power and physicality).

The Neitherworld was designed in a way where while the associations of death are occasionally there, it acts more like an alternate realm of otherworldly creatures rather than a full on realm of the dead. Most likely done to make the show more appropriate for its target audience. This makes Toonjuice feel more like a creature as a result.

And then... there's Musicaljuice - a consolidation of both ideas merged in a way that gets... kind of confusing?

We at least know that in the musical, Beetlejuice has never lived in the past, thanks to The Whole "Being Dead" Thing. That would mean that Musicaljuice is a bit more adjacent to Toonjuice, in this case.

This now just begs the question - What exactly makes a demon in the musical?

From this point onward, I will be getting into more non-canon/theoretical territory-

In the earlier stages of the musical, Juno was originally going to be called "Mrs. Shoggoth". A shoggoth is a fictional monster in the Cthulhu Mythos.

If you follow the idea that Juno and Beetlejuice's last name is always intended to be Shoggoth, and that it implies that they're Loveraftian-like creatures in some way, then this adds a whole new layer of interesting...

Lovecraft's monsters were described as creatures unlike anything a human being has ever seen. Creatures beyond our comprehension. If this is the case, then what does that make the Shoggoths...? Where did they even come from?

I don't think we'll ever know for sure what exactly Beetlejuice is intended to be in the musical, unless... y'know, they decide to expand upon it via some form of post-musical media? Like a cartoon?

Right now, the idea that Beetlejuice and Juno are these strange, unknown beings genuinely intrigues me.

From everything I have found so far, it wouldn't be far fetched to believe that Beetlejuice, the way that we know him, is only a masquerade of his true form.

A strange, unknown creature hiding under a human-like skin.

At least... that is my headcanon.

Okay so, decided to design all versions of Beetlejuice n Lydia Deetz from each franchise ( that I am aware off... )

Of course these are all headcanon like designs so they don't all look too similar to it, Oh! Speaking of headcanon! Here is my headcanon sexualities for them just in case

[quenga-do-nordeste]

He is deadly cute

Bonus points if it’s all three

[mastersprogram]

Since Fizz Knows Sign language, I Now just fully Head canon that all Alex Brightman Characters know (or mostly) how to it

[bugs-with-webs]

lydia saw beetlejuice as a means to escape and a temporary friend, beetlejuice saw lydia as the only person to care about him

she only saw him to get what she wanted, he saw her as what he wanted. a friend.

hanging on by a thread, so here’s some random headcanons

- i’m happy about éowyn and faramir, love them, but tbh i headcanon merry had the fattest mf crush on éowyn.

- frodo: pink floyd, sam: simon and garfunkle, pippin: the beatles, merry: david bowie. i don’t make the rules.

- legolas has a bag of holding for all of his hair and skin products (and tries to get aragorn and gimli in on it, randomly walking up to them and smearing the elven equivalent to moisturizer on their faces like ‘girl how you gonna show up to your own coronation lookin all crusty musty. lemme help you.’)

- pippin is so down for letting you put him in drag. he would love it.

- merry would be obsessed w legos

- everyone in the fellowship would absolutely flip out if you introduced them to chewing gum. hang on. lemme cook: frodo: peppermint, sam: pink lemonade, pippin: grape/watermelon, merry: bubble gum, legolas: sweet mint, aragorn: spearmint, gimli: the raspberry lime one, and gandalf: cinnamon. again, i do not make the rules.

- gandalf is the world’s biggest samfro stan (other than me)

- since beetlejuice can’t get sick bc he’s a demon, he will absolutely use the opportunity of lydia getting sick and having to stay home to just lay at the foot of her bed and rant to her about all his problems while they do nails together. if she’s faking sick it won’t be for long. he’s fun but she can only put up with it for about a day.

- logan howlett in another universe was undoubtedly a folk music singer.

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.

If the DR2 Cast is performing Wicked, what are the THH and V3 Cast performing respectively?

This is a really complicated brainworm so let's start with this: every year the 3 classes competed for best musical performance every year, and the 3 winning ones are:

Dr1 class: Heathers, year 1 champions. Slightly altered censored version, Junko wasn't acting she was just being herself.

Dr2 class: Wicked, year 2 champions. Made as faithful to the source as possible (homoerotic undertones) and a real jet-powered broomstick.

DrV3 class: Beetlejuice, final year champions. Special effects cranked up to 1,000, HOW DOES HIMIKO FLOAT? (fx) MAGIC.

Losing performances -

Dr1 class: Phantom of the Opera - Year 2, Company - Year 3

Dr2 class: Be More Chill - Year 1, Little Shop of Horrors - Year 3

DrV3 class: Waitress - Year 1, Hercules - Year 2

He was planing to make the wedding when you were alive, yet Lydia was telling him to wait. Normally, he wouldn't listen. Yet he didn't want to force you to marry him.

After all, you two had "perfect" relationship, he didn't want to fuck it up

And after your death, as around your late 30's ̶(̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶c̶a̶n̶ ̶c̶h̶o̶o̶s̶e̶ ̶h̶o̶w̶ ̶d̶i̶d̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶d̶i̶e̶,̶ ̶l̶i̶k̶e̶,̶ ̶i̶ ̶d̶u̶n̶n̶o̶,̶ ̶a̶ ̶t̶r̶u̶c̶k̶ ̶r̶a̶n̶ ̶o̶v̶e̶r̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ )̶

He was already making his way to find you in the afterlife.

You were at least.. A bit shocked by how things turned out, yet there you are - standing dead and... Wait

Oop, there's Beetlejuice

Big wedding.

He would even get dress for you "babes look! You gonna love this one!!"

He never was more excited in his life

BJ's kisses might not be the best - yet he tries, don't judge.

Spoils you with sweet words of his "you look perfect darlin'" "you're the most beautiful woman i ever seen.."

There's no way that you two will separate - nu-uh

"we'll be together, yes.. FOREVER"

✨️ Never fear, Betty is here! ✨️

-

I am so excited to share my first ever drawing of Bettyjuice!!! ✨️

I originally did not have plans to draw her, but thanks to a good friend (and huge Betty lover) of mine, I gained the motivation to draw my take on a musical version of her! I used both my original Beetlejuice reference and creaturologie's version of Bishoujo Beetlejuice to create the design! I'd like to make a digital ref for her, just much later down the line.

To me, musical Bettyjuice would act as the older sister (or possibly cousin?) of Lydia, taking on the form of an adult woman in her early to mid 20s, rather than a teenage girl like the cartoon. She is supposed to keep Lydia safe while she's out, but instead gets into numerous random fights with teens, parents, and anyone else daring to challenge her. This obviously embarrasses Lydia, but doesn't stop her from calling Betty a part of her family. 💚

BEETLEJUICE HEADCANNONS YAY!!!

hi tumblr I assume I'm allowed to yap about my headcannons all I want so here we go yay!!

lawrence betelgeuse shoggoth:

audhd (both autism and adhd), probably mainly hyperactive subtype (he cannot sit still) and probably has sensory issues and is sensitive to any sensory input. stims as to not explode. head tilts, very twitchy, t-rex arms, tenses his muscles when he's pouting/angry/having sensory overload. also he probably has no idea and never got diagnosed and hates himself for it because he just thinks there's something wrong with him.

cis male, he/him, pansexual. sibling relationship with lydia, crushing on both the maitlands LOL. shitty relationship with both mother (juno) and father, father left first because of a shitty marriage/neurodivergent meltdowns, juno was an autism mum at first but eventually gave up as he grew older and got mentally ill and depressed and couldn't fit into society. also because he's pan. homophobic juno!!

tw suicide: he contemplated for a while when he was older, he'd come to the same balcony lydia eventually was at, and eventually he jumped into the river below and drowned. he regrets it deeply now that he's dead, he wanted an escape and instead just gave himself an afterlife of loneliness. chose not to go to the netherworld because he knew his parents would be there.

I genuinely don't have any specific mental illness/physical illness headcannons. but he is definitely depressed and mentally ill. hugging him thru the screen even though he's done bad shit I resonate w him a lot

anyway haha silly drawing, drawing lydia next!! request if you want but I can't promise anything!!

they could never make me hate you, brightjuice
