You ever have a headcanon with interesting potential but then you remember canon and that busts it?
I just had the thought "what if 'taking your husband's name' was literal when it came to Delores and Betelgeuse?", which well, it would make sense to be able to summon the soul of your freshly-dead spouse if you were trying to steal it to gain immortality, right?
But then I remembered that Delores never tries to summon him by his name, nor seems to know that he can be summoned like that. I checked an "all Delores scenes" vid on youtube and she says his name just twice in the whole movie. Once to the janitor, and once in the church.
It just... it doesn't feel right that she doesn't seem to know how to summon him, bc it feels to me that ofc everyone knows how to summon him. It's Betelgeuse! Even Rory knows how to summon him!
...huh.
Actually, maybe she can't summon Betelgeuse bc her ritual wasn't complete. Which would mean she'd need to keep someone around who can summon B for her. Or, if it's more an issue with location rather than with ability, someone who can lead her to the model where B likes to hang out. Cause tbh, I'd quite like to see Rory again. Terrible person, but great character!
You ever had a headcanon that re-gained interesting potential while you were sharing it lol?
I think Delores might just be unaware of Betelgeuse's name curse. She was locked in those boxes maybe ever since she came into the afterlife (or maybe she was locked away because they knew she had become a Soul Sucker? Room for headcanons there). It's likely that Betelgeuse's name curse happened too long after his and Delores's death.
That said, she could have found out through the movie, only she didn't for some reason. The afterlife people like Wolf Jackson are no longer afraid just saying Betelgeuse's name (Wolf says his name several times and he isn't afraid of him at all), so she wouldn't have had a reason to be suspect of his name having some sort of power over him, anyway. In Rory's case, he only knew because of Lydia.
As for headcanons that are busted by the actual canon, I totally had one for years and I have no idea how I made this one up, but I was so sure of it 😆. Listen, I thought that Juno the caseworker was the one who casted whatever curse is upon Betelgeuse's name and banished him off to the model at the Maitland's house as punishment for something he did. (I'm sure I even wrote about it here recently even, when brand new to the fandom, lmao).
I knew he worked for Juno, but I'm pretty sure the only thing that's mentioned about the whole matter in the movie is that he was her assistant but he was a troublemaker and eventually he went off on his own as a freelance bio exorcist. Juno was aware that saying his name three times would summon him (she doesn't seem scared to say his name herself, though, but wouldn't let Barbara and Adam mention it even once), but upon rewatching the movie now that I'm obsessed with Beetlejuice vs before as a casual fan, I don't think there's any indication that it was her who cursed him.
I guess his name curse is still open for headcanons. Maybe he even casted some spell on himself, or maybe it's a punishment for his many crimes (the man has a thick file with his name on it in Wolf Jackson's office lol). His crimes also explain why he's been around for over 600 years unable to pass on. Being a civil servant seems to be a form of Purgatory in the world of Beetlejuice. He won't be able to pass on until he's served all those years, unless he does something to pay them back if that's possible, I guess. Violating code 699 now added 100 years more to his civil work time 😭 (I think I read it was 100 years, but I'm not sure, so fact-check me on that one).
But yes, that was my headcanon that I felt was pretty solid but then rewatching the movie I went like "wait, how did I come to that conclusion?" 😅. It happens. Earlier tonight even, I almost got to the conclusion that Astrid was dead all along, and then I remembered Jeremy literally almost stole her life. Plus, she interacted with other alive people who are normies, like her classmates, Delia, the people at the funeral, etc.

Welcome to my blog! Peek under the cut for more information. Yes, it’s required reading.
RULES
This blog, while 18+ due to all themes associated with the Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss franchise, is completely NSFW-free. I am willing to write threads that mention NSFW topics in detail, but I will not roleplay the act itself.
I am not selective at all! My only rules about who I interact with are that they cannot be minors (less than 18 years old) and that they need to give me something to work with in threads. You can write as many paragraphs as you want, but if you don’t give me something substantial to keep writing with, I cannot continue writing with you.
I would prefer if personals did not interact unless they have a roleplay sideblog, state that clearly in their blog description/pinned post, and (if they have multiple sideblogs) specify which they are intending to roleplay with. Personals are completely free to follow, however!
My memes and open starters are open to everyone, even if we haven’t interacted yet or we already have a thread! I prefer to start threads with memes, though, so please specify if you would like me to write a drabble instead.
I am on mobile and therefore cannot trim posts. If this is a problem, then I apologize, but I cannot do anything to fix that fact unless my partner is not on mobile.
This is a sideblog! Follows and follow-backs will come from @kottonkandykiller. I do have multiple roleplay sideblogs, so feel free to choose which one you would like to interact with. All asks will be on anon and I will tag my sideblog in the ask.
I’m a busy person, but rest assured, I’ve seen your reply/ask. You can absolutely nag me for replies! Sometimes I forget, sometimes I don’t have the energy, but you aren’t being annoying if you send me a reminder. In fact, please do!
I am most active on Saturdays and in the evenings on weekdays. I’m on Pacific Standard Time, and typically sleep at 9 pm and wake up at 10 am (on weekends). I get home from work anytime from 4 to 6 pm on weekdays.
I currently tag whatever I think would be triggering as topic tw, but I can tag anything that anyone messages me to tag or have in their rules that they want tagged. I have no squicks/triggers myself, but I may add to this list later on.
The muse is not equal to the mod! In Nikki’s case, his moods tend to fluctuate with mine more than my other characters, and in Zephyr’s case, their gender is affected by whatever gender I most associate with at the moment, but nothing else.
These rules may be updated later on, but for now, this’ll be it.

He spent a year in the hospital, having his wounds treated, learning to see with only one eye, and adjusting to having only one horn. For 3 years after that, he bounced around from orphanage to orphanage before escaping a year before becoming an adult. He tattooed the left side of his face, replaced his left horn with a prosthetic, and dyed half of his hair black. He made a name for himself as a freelance pole dancer and taught himself to use several different weapons. After surviving for several years comfortably, his luck ran out during the Extermination of 2023.

Halloween Movie of the Day: Beetlejuice (1988)
Life can be hard, with all it's disappointments and unexpected turns. Death, however, doesn't solve anything... even less when it involves bureaucracy. Something the Maitland couple learn the hard way when they crash and fall into a river, only to return home to find the "Handbook for the Recently Deceased". Then, a family from New York moves in to their once idyllic house with all the chaos of avant-garde art. So, when pushed against the wall, the recently deceased may turn their eyes to a self proclaimed freelance bio-exorcist extraordinaire.
It may be hard to imagine, but there was a time where Tim Burton wasn't the champion of the weird and creepy. In fact, having only Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985) under his belt this was his big gamble to show his style and MY GOD, what a stellar showcase it was. Between it's use of German expressionism for the set design to the ever morbid humor, the whole package is just entertainingly off kilter. Things like suicide and mutilation aren't off the table as the source of jokes, yet, it's all so brazen and playful even body horror and violent imagery become some prime slapstick material, all while poking fun at human stubbornness, bureaucracy and modern art. Also, absurdly skewed priorities from nearly the entire cast.
If there's a noticeable wart to the movie, though, it's probably the title character himself. While many of his antics are indeed funny as hell (his maverick energy is one of the reasons this Michael Keaton's favorite role after all), others would rightfully put him on the sex offender list while still being played for laughs. Then again, he's the villain and gets his due deserts so there's that.
Frankly, I'm not sure a film like this could have been made outside of the 80's for quite a few reasons. But even with those things it's shocking how well it holds up. It's generally speaking still a blast, stylish and oh so funny.

35 Years Ago
From Warner Bros Pictures
Presents
A Classic Spooktacular 👻 & Creepy😱 Fun Filled Movie 🎥 Of 1988
In Winter River, Connecticut, Barbara and Adam Maitland decide to spend their vacation decorating their idyllic country home.
As they are driving home from a trip to town, Barbara swerves to avoid a dog, and the car plunges into the river.
After returning home, she and Adam notice they now lack reflections and find a Handbook for the Recently Deceased.
THEY JUST REALIZED THEY ARE DEAD 💀😱👻
AND ARE NOT AMONGST THE LIVING ANYMORE
The house is sold, and the new owners, the Deetz family, arrive from New York City.
Charles Deetz is a former real estate developer; his second wife, Delia, is a self-proclaimed sculptor and his teenage goth daughter, Lydia, from his first marriage, is an aspiring photographer.
Under the guidance of interior designer Otho, the family transforms the house into a new-wave work of postmodern art.
Consulting the Handbook, the Maitlands travel to an otherworldly waiting room populated by other distressed souls, where they discover the afterlife is structured according to a complex bureaucracy involving vouchers and caseworkers.
The Maitlands' caseworker, Juno, tells them they must remain in the house for the next 125 years on pain of a dire fate.
If they want the Deetzes out of the house, it is up to the Maitlands to scare them away.
Adam and Barbara are invisible to Charles and Delia, but Lydia can see the ghost couple and befriends them.
Against Juno's advice, the Maitlands contact the miscreant BEETLEJUICE, Juno's former assistant and a now freelance "BIO-EXORCIST", to scare the Deetzes away.
BUT LITTLE DO THEY KNOW
THIS WAS A BIG MISTAKE
TO SUMMON THE GHOSTLY GHOUL 👻 OF EXORCISM

New Layout New Me!
I think it's only fair that since I've been nothing but an enigma on this site that I properly introduce myself!
Hi! My name is Bliss! I'm a 25-year-old LGBTQ+ & Neurodivergent writer. I am a Jhin main first and a human never. My fixation is primarily Jhin-centric, but I tend to hop across a multitude of fandoms!
Said fandoms include:
League of Legends (Jhin-centric interest)
Baldur's Gate 3 (Astarion-centric interest)
Psycho-Pass
Jujutsu Kaisen

Soul Eater
Dragon Ball Z

I'm a hopeless romantic and throw together ships whenever possible because it's fun and I enjoy exploring dynamics. I sometimes find myself in Rarepair Hell and it is of every fault of my own.

Boundaries:
I won't participate in ship discourse. I just won't, it's not worth it. I have my reservations on certain things and Imma keep it to myself.
What I will do is participate in fandom, fandom activities, and the occasional discourse about the shows/games/comics themselves!
Interests & Hobbies:
When I'm offline I tend to read here and there.
I write mostly romantic/ship-related fanfic and even original works with original characters! Occasionally, I post poetry when I'm in A Mood(TM).
It's an absolute delight to talk about all of my characters that I've taken so much time to craft <3
I make playlists on Spotify and Youtube based on stories I've written, favorite characters, favorite ships, and original characters! I'll be adding those links to my Carrd once I have them both up-to-date c:
I'm not entirely sure what I should be posting on Tumblr? This site is very awkward for me and I feel a tad isolated every time I open it. So if anyone has any ideas of what they'd like to see or a better way to be more engaging drop me an ask!
I might make a post for snippet requests and whatnot that y'all can choose from as well! It'll take a bit, but it'll be up eventually lol.
If you wanna find me anywhere else like Twitter, AO3, Commaful, Wattpad (Idk why, but it's an option), and more then you can find my Carrd in my bio!
Thanks for reading this far and getting to know me! If you have any questions then you know where the ask and DM buttons are c:

you are not unlovable. { Nimue @ Beetlejuice }
everything everywhere all at once.
His eyes seemed to widen at those words, hearing them so clearly from her. Since when was he ever close to being considered ‘loved’? He was the well-known Betelgeuse; the Bio-Exorcist of the Netherworld! He did freelancing for this! How could he, of all demons, be not unlovable?
There was a grumble of a response, almost wincing at those words. “Not unlovable?” He repeated it with a pained strung at his tone. “Babes, I’m dead. A creepy, old, dead guy. I do my job for a literal living! I’m not supposed to be liked. That’s my whole shebang. Why do you think, of all the dead people you know, that I’m not unlovable?”

Was that [AVAN JOGIA]? Oh no no, that was just [BEETLEJUICE], a [CANON CHARACTER] from [BEETLEJUICE THE MUSICAL]. They are [OLD] years old, use [HE/THEY], and [ARE] aware that they are not actually from Washington DC. Too bad they can’t stray from this city for long.
Beetlejuice has been here for about two years.
Beetlejuice's personality varied significantly between the TV series and the film; while still being an agent of chaos and a fairly macabre and objectionable character, he was more heroic than he had originally been portrayed in the film and even had a human friend (which contrasts his personality in the original film, where he labeled himself a "bio-exorcist").
In the film, Beetlejuice is shown to have the personality of a deranged con artist who used Adam and Barbara Maitland in order to cause chaos upon the residents of their home. He tends to also have a temper when anyone interferes with his "work" and known to keep grudges.
Beetlejuice has shown to be quite nasty as he tries to sexually assault Barbara numerous times and also has a somewhat demented fondness for Lydia even though he was also using her to be free to cause chaos among the living.
Beetlejuice has shown that he is a foul-mouthed, demented, and troublesome ghost who seems to only care about himself and the chaos he brings in which he sees as his profession. Although it's proven that he cares nothing for the living and would even potentially kill someone due to his tricks and won't care. Beetlejuice also has no sense of boundaries and is outright disgusting and obnoxious.
Beetlejuice was once the assistant of the Neitherworld caseworker, Juno, and later became a a freelance poltergeist who specializes in the art of "Bio-exorcism", the act of scaring living occupants out of their own house. During the film, Betelgeuse lives in exile inside of a small miniature remake of the town of Winter River, buried in the model town's graveyard. Betelgeuse can only be resurfaced by manually traveling to the town and being re-dug from his grave, and if his employers hire him can then on be instantly summoned by reciting his name three times in a row. Beetlejuice's date of birth and death are unknown but it is known by context that he died a long time ago, and has been enjoying his afterlife for what has most likely been centuries.

I never saw Beetlejuice as a villain. He is a grey and selfish character. Not good or bad... he's just in it for himself.
At first he is trying really hard to do "his job". He's an entrepreneur if you wish or even a freelancer after Juno kicked him (she did stated that he worked for her but caused too much trouble). All of us who ever tried freelancing know how hard it is to get clients and show your skills... give him a break 🤣
Yes, he does want to get married to a young girl but his original plan was to do it to "get his green card" so to speak. And she is the only woman available: Barbara (also dead) and Delia are married, the others show up just once 🤷🏻♀️
You could argue that he lusts over her ("it's been 300 years after all") but it kind of disappears after Dante's Inferno shows up. After that he is interested in Lydia mostly I guess after their conversation when Adam and Barbara are away. She is "strange and inusual" which allows her to see and interact with ghosts... and she's not afraid of them! That's a good catch (in his mind)
My favourite part (that I haven't seen anyone talk about) is the brief moment when Lydia tells him that she wants to die and he goes "Why?" Michael Keaton knew the assignment because it sounds like he is being honest for the first time in the whole movie, there is no super-bio-exorcist trying to prove his worth... that's a dead guy that hates being dead and wondering why a young girl would want that for herself.
He does end up doing the right thing (saves Adam and Barbara, gets rid of the Deetze's obnoxious guests) but once again tries to marry Lydia by tricking her in her own words.
Mind you "grooming" isn't the right word he wasn't trying to earn her trust at all (he did tried to manipulate her and almost got away with it taking advantage of Lydia's despair to save her ghost friends -hence the wedding-) all he ever tried to do was "to get out" of the model that we could say works as a limbo or portal of somekind between the After Life and the Living World (at least for him). Lydia never once thinks of him as a friend, especially after Barbara warns her about him. She was never truly manipulated into doing something she didn't wanted; when Beetlejuice tells her about the marriage she's more like "yeah, whatever, just save them now" so, as I said, it was a technicality. Do not say that Lydia is too innocent or blinded by Beetlejuice's sex appeal (?) to do his bidding without putting out a fight... that is something that became popular in female characters from the early 2000s to now, '80s girls came in all flavours including smart and ready to fight.
To end things, Mr. B was never a villain, just a mild inconvenience that helps the plot. He's never framed as a hero like, lets say Jack Sparrow and he is never a straight-up villain that needs to be defeated. It should be a crime to equal stopping the wedding to any final battle with a major villain that tries to end the world 🤣
He saw a chance and took it because he only cares about himself.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice trailer thoughts
First of all, if you haven’t seen the trailer, here it is. Now here are some of my thoughts on it.
One thing that stuck out to me right away is that some of the cinematography and dialogue (“I am gonna make you so happy”) make it feel like Beetlejuice still thinks he and Lydia are married, or at the very least engaged. Right off the bat I think this is a very funny dynamic, especially since Lydia actually is married (with a daughter no less!), and what’s probably her husband (Justin Theroux) is here too. I can already see Beetlejuice trying to engage in some schmaltzy romcom dialogue with his “wife,” while Lydia sternly rebukes “you tried to kill my father then groomed and manipulated me into marrying you when I was 15.” Then Beetlejuice says something along the lines of “haha, you’re so funny babes!” or “Good times, good times!” Meanwhile he banishes Lydia’s actual husband to the timeout corner the second he tries to intervene. Beetlejuice just being so completely delusional about the whole thing is a great direction to take him in.
Related, but Beetlejuice overall seems to be framed more empathetically/less like the overt villain he was in the original movie. Both the cartoon and the musical to this to some degree, so I’m not surprised they’re doing it here too. Going with my above interpretation of his dynamic with Lydia, I think this is the best case scenario rather than just randomly flipping his character on its head. My guess is he’s somewhere on the sliding scale of anti-hero to villain protagonist
Beetlejuice is definitely still out to marry Lydia, since we see shots of a wedding cake and Lydia in her iconic red dress. Both of these shots are located in a chapel.
As I’m sure everyone’s pointed out by now, Monica Bellucci’s character Delores is missing a finger. This is relevant because, when Beetlejuice pulls out the wedding ring in the first movie, it’s still attached to a disembodied finger. A common fan theory that’s been floating around for years is that Beetlejuice died via suicide after his wife left him. On top of all that, I’m like 90% sure that Bellucci’s character was literally listed as “Beetlejuice’s wife” on IMDb at some point.
I think Lydia’s daughter Astrid (Jenna Ortega) is gonna die fairly early on in the movie. Her makeup in several shots is very corpselike. I have a feeling that this will be the premise of the movie: Lydia intentionally lets out Beetlejuice to ask for help pulling her daughter out of the Netherworld.
That scene with Lydia and Astrid running away from a sand worm makes me think that maybe Lydia will die too, but it will be less permanent. Maybe she gets a “green card” in her marriage to Beetlejuice, too.
I have no idea what the fuck willem dafoe is doing here tbh
I’m torn on the effects. I appreciate they’re going for a different look and emulating the feel of the original, but they just look so….fake. It’s all clearly CG rather than clever stop motion, puppets, and costuming. The plane in particular looks really bad.
0/10 no Alex Brightman cameo

Secret office romance? You know I love’em. I’m just over here causally shipping Beetlejuice and Miss Argentina. I like to think they worked together for Juno before he became a “freelance bio-exorcist”. He was probably a HUGE pain in the office.
They also have a short scene together in the squeal script, Beetlejuice in Love, where he says he’d like to share a waterbed with her. Horny jerk.
Also, @mr-geuse @horneyjuice and @vicunaburger aggressively encouraged me to call this ship Beauty and the Beetle and I can’t stop laughing.

a cocky grin curled across her painted features at the whistle and continued to grow with the compliment. riley's favorite holiday had always been halloween and as far as she could remember she had only missed one halloween in her whole life. "when it comes to mischievous trickster ghost turned professional freelance bio-exorcist i guess you can say i'm qualified." the hybrid laughed, pulling her girlfriend in closer to her side. "and look at you, lilo all grown up and looking out of this world." riley's eyed roxy and then gave her a quick wink. "if you want to dress up more often, you don't have to ask me twice. i can easily get some more sage."
Closed Starter - @vilisisms (Riley)
A low whistle escaped her frame as dark irises fell on her girlfriend, movements towards her smooth and effortlessly as she gripped the stuffed stitch in her arm before linking her other with Riley's. "How is it that you make one of the ugliest characters look so god damn hot," Roxy questions playfully, grin tugging against her lips as she scanned the other over. "We should do this more often, Halloween or not."

-Skills: Speed, strength, he can climb walls, he have bat wings that allow him to fly, himnotism (he can erase memories, but he has yet to polish that skill), manipulation of darkness, can use it as whip, sword, razor, pistol (kind of like skills in Deadman wonderland)
-Facts:
Vlad is inspired by Inosuke- Kimetsu no yaiba
his symbol is a Purified Diamond
He prefers to be called "Vlad"
He's more foolish, arrogant, and jackass than Cuphead
He doesn't get along with Cuphead, basically because Vlad reminds him of all the stupid things he does.
He always makes the mistake of underestimating his opponents, and almost always takes a beating.
He receives a lot of discrimination from many exorcists, as it's still up for debate whether vampires are considered a subspecies of demons or not. And since he was allowed to be an exorcist, he is the first of his kind to be one.
As he is quite immature and irresponsible, he is always on the tightrope of being fired from being an exorcist, and Andromeda always gives him warnings and scolds him.
He is very competitive with Cuphead, and when he manages to overcome it, he likes to tease (although it is easy to fool him and convince him of that quality)
Vlad was in rehab for not drinking blood, as his entire family has always indiscriminately drank blood.
-BIO:
Vlad is one of the last descendants of the oldest generation of the "Dracula" family but unlike his relatives, he wanted to make a difference, and decide to fight for him well. So he was in rehab to not drink blood.
He always spent his time fighting Cuphead, since he, his brother Mugman and Cagney met him unexpectedly on a mission. At first, they believed among them that they were enemies, but they realized that they were exorcists. So even though they reluctantly agreed to team up, and for a short time, cuphead and mugman agreed to give him some teamwork advice, although of course it was very difficult with hardheads like cuphead and Vlad. Even after a small confrontation with Ms Chalice, obviously Chaice beat him without problems, and this made Vlad become depressed and question his abilities, but thanks to these experiences, with the passage of time, Vlad learned not to underestimate his opponents too much and teamwork.
In fanchild AU, Vlad still looks young (obviously), but keeps mentioning all the time that Cuphead looks "old" and asks how their family lives are going to the Cupsiblings.
In fact, Bubblegum, Abyss and Sheriff call him "Uncle Vlad" when he visits them, they have a great time with him.
