#house betelgeuse

[iz1331]

When you think about it, Betelgeuse has probably been providing or helping Lydia with ghost hauntings for Ghost House and making sure Lydia won't be lacking of "clients" and content for her show.

Beej supporting his wifey even from the Afterlife. The Juice even "hired" a whole department of shrinkers (shrink heads?) to manage all the newlydeads wanting Betelgeuse's professional haunting expertise!

From someone who just stays in his grave, sitting on his ratty couch, in his robe, and searching for potential clients from reading the obituary, probably taking up jobs whenever he feels like it because his profession as a bio-exorcist is uniquely his own and definitely not into the whole bureaucracy crap he did when he was Juno's assistant all those centuries ago, a real loose cannon...

To someone who has his own employees, a huge ass office, and mainstreaming his services where the newlydeads and other ghosts were now demanding his work 24/7!

All those centuries of his bio-exorcist schtick before meeting the Deetz-Maitlands, Lydia especially, and he changed his whole work ethic maybe around the same time he found out about Lydia's new career as a ghost haunting show host and exorcist (maybe not exorcist, but she talks to them and makes the arrangements for both living and dead to coexist).

I won't be surprised if in one of Lydia's visits to the haunted houses, Betelgeuse is there and just watches her work. Maybe make himself appear for a split-second to scare or just "say" hello to Lydia, lol. Betelgeuse is such a sucker for her, so obsessed loyal to Lydia that he didn't even try to make another alive person marry him. If he ever gets married (a second time), it's only gotta be with Edgar Allan Poe's daughter (I'm referring to Lydia, btw).

Anyways, basically they're work spouses. Even though one of them doesn't know it, and the other has been pining for the last 30 or so years.

Alive Beetlejuice AU that I am rotating in my brain rn. He is so so bad at acting human, he doesn't even bother looking the part and he has no idea how much money is worth.

Look at us! What a team!

It came late, but it's great to be seen

We're a pair! Holy cow!

Baby, there's no stopping us now!

We are indivisible, unbreakable, formidable!

Guess we ain't invisible no more!

Polish dubbing is sometimes surprising… Here's the evidence:

Sometimes there are creative translations (Kim Possible to "Kim Possible", which is an awesome play on words in this language), or Tinker Bell in the Polish version of "Cynka Dzwoneczek", but sometimes the translations are like Beetlejuice to "Żukosoczek" or "Sok z Żuka" ( Why do the cartoon and the movie have two different titles? I have no idea), ironically, in the crossover version with TTG they left the English version of the name (Or rather not the name… God knows what's going on, pun)

Bill Cipher translated into "Bill Cyferka" (Bill Number?) may already be a classic, and the GF title in Poland is… Wodogrzmoty Małe… Yes, they named the fucking waterfall

In TOH King is "King" (Well, ok translation), but Owlbert's name is… Sowbert… Yes, that name resembles "Sorbet", not counting that Raine has male pronouns in the Polish dubbing… Fun

Well, I won't say much about SU, except that they made Ruby a boy… Yeah

In "Loud House" the character Sam has male pronouns… Because it is obvious that she is a boy…

"Paw Patrol" made Zuma a girl and Everest a boy (Older seasons, but the voice stayed the same so lmao)

"Thomas and Friends" here are all the translations from memory: Thomas - Tomek, Peter - Piotruś, Gordon - Gabryś (WTF), James - Kuba, Henry - Henio (Okay, now I'll use the Internet), Edward - Edek, Terence - Tymcio (Sounds similar to the Polish version of a certain spider name), Trevor - Tadek, Duck - Kaczor (Ok), Toby - Tobik, Olivek - Olek (WTF, it is not the same name, Oliver would be Oliwer, Olek is also Aleksander, or rather it is a diminutive of this name), Bulgy - Smrodek, Rusty - Rudik (Piotr Rubik lol), Salty - Sylwek, Harvey - Hubcio, Harold - Harold (Lol), Jack - Jacek, Duncan - Damian, Emily - Emilka, Bill - Wiluś (WTF), Ben - Benio, Fergus - Franek. Rhenead - Radek, Spencer - Szymek... Too big a point, if I had to mention every name I would go crazy

Now a classic: Shaggy - Kudłaty (Good)

Horrid Henry - Koszmarny Karolek, Peter - Damianek (Yes, I don't understand these translations either)

And yes, Loud House also has a lot of names changed to start with "H", but I could never remember all of them, even the English versions, so well…

Since everyone made it to the end, remember to reblog the fundraisers, yes, I prefer to mention it

Journey back to winter river. 😈🎃☠️🤢👹👻🎃

[futurequibblerjournalist]

Thinking about the fact that Betelgeuse is a star specifically in the Orion constellation,,, like just imagine Regulus rocking up like “yes this is my son Betelgeuse Black”

Like you can’t tell me there’s not been at least one Betelgeuse Black out there but also why does the name go kinda hard cnfncjfn

[darrengrave]

I honestly had a better introduction to Beetlejuice than any other kid, because when I was a kid a local haunted house went ALL OUT one year for Halloween and the opening room was a sort of safety brief fakeout that had a call and response that "accidentally" led you into summoning Beetlejuice, who literally crashed in through a wall with two demons on four wheelers who laughed at us and revved their engines and they circled us while Beetlejuice finished the brief. I straight up encountered that motherfucker for the first time in real life.

If someone asks me how my novembers been…. Uhhh. I’m really late to the game guys lol

One does not know pain until you've pulled a duplicate from a blind box that costs a fortune 😭

Even more painful WHEN THE PRODUCT/MERCH IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE IN YOUR COUNTRY AFTER WAITING FOR A WHOLE MONTH WITH NO UPDATE 😤

ESPECIALLY WHEN THE SECRET CHARACTERS ARE THESE TWO!!! 😭😭😭

[silverhyenaart]

This is perfection 💖

these gentlejuices want to prove themselves to this dame (to spite moviejuice)

[herefortheships]

What will BJ house be like?

Oh my goodness! To be honest, I can't picture his house! It might be a chaotic mess, with costumes and trinkets and collectibles lying all around. Noisy rather than peaceful; the man likes his theatrics so there might be music or movies playing all the time, when he's not putting on the show himself 😆. And he doesn't mind bugs crawling all around, so those will be there for sure (the poor guy can't help it, though, being a dead guy and all).

If he marries Lydia, though, the picture will be different. There might be a clash of stripes and gaudy decor with black and goth motifs 😅. Nah, that's me half-joking. I think whatever Lydia wants their home to look like, that's how it will be. If Betel's living by himself, I can only go by the looks of his office desk in the sequel. It wasn't that disorganized; just a few bugs crawling about, which he can't help, but at least he doesn't mind them at all (in fact he totally eats them, so...). He'll have framed photos of Lydia around, too and a room with an altar to worship her. oops lol I'm sure I saw something about him having one in the cartoon, at least inside his head.

CAN I JUST SAY, to this day I still think cutting out "Children We Didn't Have" from the Beetlejuice musical was a huge mistake.

When I watched the musical and they sang "Ready Set" I got the strong impression that they just... didn't actually even WANT kids, but felt like they had to in order to accomplish what they thought was supposed to be an Ideal Life™️

And then when they got around to the second act, I found myself wondering "okay... so what are the Maitlands doing here...?" Because they kind of fell out of relevancy. They no longer wanted to scare ppl out of their home, Lydia wasn't rlly talking to them, and they made Zero mention of the regrets from their life or any current goal.

"Children We Didn't Have" not only makes it clear that this was a Genuine passion of Barbara's, but also connected her and Lydia's character arcs more solidly. Barbara 2.0 in comparison feels like, a weaker attempt at what the cut song did perfectly and emotionally, and removes the Maitlands' original big character aspect of "regretful would-be parents" by referring to Lydia as a friend instead of a daughter figure :/

Just. LISTEN TO THIS:

SHOULDA KEPT IT 🥺

WARNING: None

PAIRING: Beetlejuice x Reader

NOTE: New movie’s out! Really like how this turned out so I hope you enjoy!

SUMMARY: After foolishly summoning Beetlejuice, you're now stuck with the infamous ghost in your house. Good job!

PART 2: Here

You really needed to stop messing around with things you didn’t understand. At the time, it had seemed harmless enough—a bit of fun, something to distract you from the dull routine of life. The "summon a spirit" kit you'd bought as a joke had done more than give you a good laugh.

Because now Beetlejuice, the "ghost with the most," had taken up residence in your house, and getting rid of him wasn’t as simple as you’d hoped… you didn’t have the heart to do it.

“So, babe, what’s on the agenda today?” Beetlejuice asked as he sprawled across your couch, his eyes gleaming with mischief. He was dressed in his usual black-and-white striped suit.

You sighed, rubbing your temples. “Same thing as every day: trying to keep you from fucking up my house.”

Beetlejuice let out a loud cackle, kicking his feet up on the coffee table. “Oh, come on, where’s your sense of fun? You summoned me, so clearly, you wanted a little excitement in your life.” His grin was wide, sharp, and just a little unsettling.

Yeah, summoning him had definitely been a mistake.

To be fair, it had been an accident. You hadn’t really expected it to work. But one too many mispronounced “Betelgeuse”s later, and the next thing you knew, there was a strange man with wild hair and an even wilder personality wreaking havoc in your home.

And now, a month had gone by, and Beetlejuice was still here. You couldn’t bring yourself to banish him. Maybe it was because he hadn’t done anything too terrible. Annoying, yes. Gross, absolutely. But nothing truly malicious.

Or maybe it was because, in a twisted sort of way, you had grown used to his presence. The house felt less empty with him around, even if he was an obnoxious dead guy.

“Hey, Earth to you,” Beetlejuice snapped his fingers in front of your face, bringing you back to reality. “You daydreaming about me or what?”

“No,” you replied flatly, ignoring the heat creeping up your neck. “I was just thinking about how much better my life was before you.”

Beetlejuice clutched his chest dramatically. “Ouch, babe, right in the ticker. You sure know how to hurt a guy.”

You rolled your eyes and stood up from the couch, heading toward the kitchen. Beetlejuice, of course, followed right behind you, his boots making a faint thud on the floor with each step.

“You know,” he started, leaning against the counter and watching as you grabbed a glass from the cupboard, “you haven’t actually asked me to leave. You’ve had, what, a month? All you gotta do is say the word a few times.”

You paused, fingers tightening around the glass. He was right. You could have banished him by now. But you hadn’t. You hadn’t even tried.

“Well, you haven’t exactly made it easy,” you muttered, filling the glass with water. “And you never give me any space.”

“Space? What do you need space for, babe? I’m the life of the afterlife. I keep things interesting.”

Beetlejuice grinned at you again, but there was something behind it this time, something less cocky and more curious. He was testing you, as if he was trying to figure out why you hadn’t sent him back to wherever it was ghosts like him came from.

You drank your water, your back turned to him, trying to ignore the way his presence seemed to fill the room. You weren’t sure how to explain it��to him, to yourself. Sure, he was obnoxious, loud, and a bit of a creep, but there was something about having him around that kept the loneliness at bay.

“Don’t you get bored?” you asked suddenly, setting the glass down and turning to face him. “Just hanging around here, doing nothing?”

Beetlejuice chuckled and shrugged, the movement casual. “Eh, beats being stuck in the Netherworld, dealing with bureaucrats and dead people whining about unfinished business. At least here, I’ve got you to keep me company.”

He leaned in a little, waggling his eyebrows suggestively. “Not to mention, you’re way easier on the eyes than the dead folk.”

You groaned. “God, you’re such a creep.”

“Hey, just calling it like I see it, toots.”

There it was again—that nickname he kept throwing around, as if he was trying to get under your skin. Normally, it worked, but tonight… you just didn’t have the energy to fight it.

You were tired. But at the same time, the idea of being alone again—completely alone—was even more exhausting.

“Alright, fine,” you said, folding your arms and leaning back against the counter. “If you’re gonna stick around, at least try not to destroy the place while I’m asleep. Deal?”

Beetlejuice raised an eyebrow, a slow grin creeping across his face. “Oh? You’re giving me permission to stay? That’s the first time I’ve heard you admit it.”

You shrugged, avoiding his gaze. “I didn’t say I wanted you here. I just said—”

“Relax, babe, I get it,” he interrupted, pushing off the counter and stepping closer to you. His voice dropped, that ever-present playful tone laced with something almost sincere. “You like having me around, don’tcha? Don’t worry, your secret’s safe with me.”

You looked up at him, trying to come up with a retort, but your words caught in your throat. There was something about the way he was looking at you—something less mocking, more… genuine?

“Don’t push it,” you muttered, though your heart wasn’t really in it.

Beetlejuice let out a soft chuckle and stepped back, raising his hands in mock surrender. “Alright, alright. No need to get all sentimental on me. But hey—if you ever want to, you know, really cut loose, you know where to find me.”

With that, he winked and disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving you standing there, your heart still racing for reasons you didn’t quite understand.

You sighed, rubbing your temples again. Maybe you were losing it. After all, who else would tolerate a dead guy like Beetlejuice hanging around in their house?

But as you headed back toward the living room, the empty silence that had once filled your home didn’t feel quite as oppressive anymore.
