#lil beej my best friend lil beej

[remyfire]

Every time I go to work, he comes with me.

[xxghost-zombie-jesus]

I would love to hear your opinions on Beej and Charles' relationship... Its always so fun to explore

dont mind me answering this two years later. i don't have an excuse im just a lil slow. it got long so it's under a readmore!

i like to think things are super rocky right off the bat. charles distrusts been the most in the beginning, after all, when he looks at the demon all he can remember is how he tried to marry his daughter, drove her and subsequently him to the netherworld, tried to kill delia, adam, and barbara, and made a mess of the house and their lives. so he isn't exactly please when beej is unceremoniously dumped onto his literal front steps. he is... cordial to the demon, not wanting to accidentally set Beetlejuice off and cause another Incident.

beej avoids charles a lot in the beginning. he has Mommy and Daddy issues, mainly from juno being, well, herself and his father not being around. (and honestly beej isn't sure if his father left him or was eaten by his mother, but he still holds out hope.) so another parent, especially someone who is genuinely angry and distrustful of him, and not in a 'god you're so annoying' way but in a 'you are a threat to my family way'. like, delia gets spooked by him easily, but she was probably the least affected by his outburst, and he helped her realize otho was a scam artist. the maitlands aren't exactly threatened by him, and quickly come to realize he's kind of... harmless. and lydia still considers him her best friend, even after the whole sham wedding/trying to kill everyone/killing him ordeal. but Charles? he's the only one who is not willing to deal with beej and his antics, nor does the man seem willing to move past the, well, past.

so, yeah, things are tense between them in the beginning. both of them feel threatened, and while beej is prone to lashing out when he feels threatened, charles is the quiet, calculating, take no shit. unstoppable force, immovable object. the few times they interact one-on-one doesn't go well, usually ends up in an argument, or worse, and the threat of sending beej back to the netherworld hangs heavy.

but, charles sees how beetlejuice acts around lydia, how he acts around the maitlands, hell, how he acts around delia. he's completely different than when charles originally met the demon. he's actually... more like a person than the mindless killing machine that charles thinks he is, and while he loaths to change his mind about the being who caused so much havoc and pain for his family, charles starts to doubt that he may have been wrong about beetlejuice. and then when delia implores that he just try and bond with beej, he really isn't so bad, they have a lot more in common that charles would think, he finally gives in and tries.

likewise, beetlejuice sees how charles acts around the rest of the household, the easy coparenting routines that he and the maitlands have developed regarding lydia. the calm discussions in the morning and the shared tv times in the evenings. he sees how charles is with delia, the gentleness and the love that's visible even to beetlejuice, eugh. the willingless to play along with her ideas and life coaching. he sees how charles is with lydia, the near desperation in his actions to make his daughter feel seen, feel loved, feel like he will always be there for her. how he begrudgingly builds her a dark room and allows her to paint her bedroom walls black. and he'd never say he was jealous, not if his undead life depended on it, but, honestly, he is. he wants so badly for charles to like him, hasn't what he's done to atone enough? hasn't he changed enough? but, fine, if charles won't like him, he can play along and make the man's life a living hell with pranks and comments and toeing the line of what is and isn't allowed.

and then charles finds out that despite being over 1000 years old, his age roughly correlates with that of a young adult, college-aged, even. charles, honestly, isn't sure that beej would even be of age for drinking, if he were human. he realizes that the demon's lashing out and acting up around him wasn't because he hates charles, its because he's a shitty young adult who has no idea who he is other than how others perceive him, who obviously got little to no parental love and guidance, who is fiercely protective of lydia, has taken her under his wing and would do just about anything in his power to make her happy. charles notices him eagerly playing along with delia's beliefs, never shutting her down or making her feel like she's crazy, but instead encouraging her to life her life how she wants to. he sees how beetlejuice had toned down the sexual jokes and innuendos at their behest, how he's done a complete 180 when he realized that they didn't enjoy his advances. he wants to be included but has stopped pushing and prodding for their attention.

and its when charles realizes that beej is basically just a hurt, scard, kind of angry yet doubtlessly kind kid that beetlejuice gets himself into some deep shit, and charles has to go save his ass. and its not for lydia's sake, well, at first it was, he'd hate to disappoint his daughter by letting something happen to the demon she's basically adopted as an older brother, but when he sees how genuinely hurt and upset beej is, something changes in their dynamic.

charles stops being so closed off to beej, starts including him in things, talking to him of his own accord, trying to be there for the demon like he is lydia. after all, he's no longer a freeloader, a dangerous demon on a hair trigger to charles anymore. he's just a troubled 20-something who just happens to be a demon. this doesn't exactly go well, beej isn't quick to judge, and the sudden change is so offputting to him that he thinks that charles is Up To Something.

because whenever juno started being nice to him, well, she either wanted something from him, or was about to make his life a living hell and fuck him over one hundred and one ways. so charles, someone he's lowkey started to think as a surrogate father even if he won't even admit it to himself let alone anyone else, suddenly acting like he wanted beej around, like he likes the demon? no he doesn't trust that. so he ups his antics tenfold, trying to piss charles off, trying to make things go back to how they were before.

and then this fic happens and, well, beej has to admit that charles does like him, and is trying to show it, and isn't out to get him, or kick him out, or kill him. its hard for both of them, but its a lot more positive than it had been before.

all this to say, i think they have a kind of father-son relationship, though not at first, and not for a hot second. both of them are resistant of getting along until both internal and external forces make them change, and even from there charles trying to kind of mother hen beej doesn't go well at first. but they figure things out

[theswedishpajas]

Oh my god finally some appreciation for Beetlejuice’s femininity! He’s so unbelievably attractive as a woman and he’s the cutest thing when he’s Bettyjuice 🥺 I love that he can be Lydia’s brother/uncle figure while also being gal pals with her

GOD! YES YES YES YES YES!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏

Beej’s whole thing is being gross but like, he somehow finds a way to just be so extremely gorgeous in how utterly himself he is??? He’s so handsome as a man and she’s so beautiful as a woman and they could literally rock any kinda look with any combination of pronouns.

It makes me so happy seeing this ghoul trying so hard to be around Lyds in so many roles that she doesn’t really have around her much otherwise because I think she really needs someone who cares about her and actively stands up for her as a friend and a guardian. (Even if Beej can be a bit oblivious and act without thinking and stuff but he’s trying his best, he’s just a lil dumbass <:o) /pos)

And I think she also really needs someone who just emits this unrestrained energy of confidence in so many ways while still being a sensitive person? Beej, even if he tries to be gross and disliked, is such an oddly good person to just exist around cus he’s genuinely something to strive for??? He just has so much good to teach people about self-image by just being himself and I just- AUGH!!!!! I LOVE THE BASTARD SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!

[leeeeeeeeech]

MUSTARD! (your lil incorrect beej quotes give me life and are so spot on all the time!) Sepia, Tangerine, moss, emerald and void:3!

THANK YOUUU I try my best with the quotes lol :,) You're gonna give me an inflated ego. I must be offputting (takes one to know one XP) I love my questionable blorbos very dearly. I'm glad we're friends too! <3

"I love you like that weird uncle that brings vodka to the baby shower"

Hey I figured how to post texts easily from my computer, so I'm... just gonna throw my Beetlejuice!Musical scenarios out there because why not.

It's just quick ideas and probably already done in the fandom (i'm... so late. Why did I start only now) but my friends really liked them so I'm feeling confident.

QUICK WARNING : Maybe some spelling / grammar errors (my ADHD + french ass is trying its best) / the “i love you”s are purely platonic / suicide mention (Lyds talks briefly about when she and BJ met)

Summary : Lyds and BJ are having a great time until they don't, and after some fights, feels are talked about

Just a reminder, it's not a full fanfic, but a big draft

...here goes nothing

So we're going for the basic scenario where BJ came back into the house, maybe some years after the events ; supposedly just to say “hi” and try to squat a bit while trying not to mess TOO MUCH with them because they kinda won his respect (and because he cares a lot for Lydia. She’s a good kid and a good bestie.) yada yada..

Some scenes pass, where Lydia is trying to find him and talks about it to the Maitlands who are equally confused.

One time when he was hanging out with Lydia, being lil pests and joking around, Lyds went “you’re the worst” while laughing… and Beej, instead of reacting like “yeah kid, i’m a literal demon >:)” just… laughed a bit weakly and answered with “you’re right kid”.

Lydia, confused as hell by this sad sounding reaction, just looks at him as if saying “what was that ??” but the demon already caught himself and went back to his chaotic self in no time. But the girl kept pushing ! What was that ! To the point where BJ is just getting annoyed and goes away to “sulk” because “why are we not playing anymooooore”

After a while, she realised that the demon IS avoiding her and… it’s upsetting her. So she starts summoning him.

“Beetlejuice ? Beeeetlejuice ? Beeee-”

“Okay okay alright I’m there, no need to fucking summon me. It’s gonna make a mess and I’m tired of hearing your dad complaining all the goddamn time.”

So they start talking, and even starting a bit of a fight, as Beetlejuice doesn't like to be vulnerable and Lydia is just angry and worried. To the point where she sat down, tired, while telling him “I love you man, that’s why I’m worried and keep annoying you, you didn’t talk to me for the whole day !”

BJ just… freezes, and looks back at her, looking angry and shocked at the same time, and asks her to repeat what she just said, he may not have heard that right.

“..you didn’t talk to me for the whole day ?”

“No, before.”

“I keep annoying you ?”

“True, but no, before.”

“I’m worried ?? What the hell do you want from me- oh I get it.”

“..you get what”

“... that’s “I love you man” that you wanted to hear ?”

“No you fucking don’t.”

And the fight comes back, stronger than before as it opened the dam. BJ keeps making a list of all the reasons why he’s unlovable and he knows it, and he doesn’t care about it, but he thought that Lydia was smarter than that.

And Lyds is mad too and goes on a whole tirade :

“You saved me from killing myself !”

“It was to manipulate you, you were my only chance to get out of this shit !”

“But you made me feel alive again by distracting me, by giving me a best friend ! You made me laugh for real and have fun for the first time after my mother’s death. You protect me YOURSELF from Juno. You respected me and my family by going away after all that crap while you could have left and never let us heal.”

“I love you like that weird uncle that brings vodka to the baby shower or the gender reveal party, I love you like that big brother that keeps cheating at game boards but then teaches me how to do it, I love you like that family member that you don’t remember how is he even blood related ; but when you see him pulling at the family function, you know you’re gonna have a great laugh, I love you like that big wild cousin that brings the grossest, punkest, weirdest but coolest gifts while everyone was gifting me pink sparkly shits. I love you like that cool uncle, my best friend, my partner in crime, my family.”

“And I’m sorry that your mother never told you this, that NOBODY ever told you this because you acted like a manipulative murderous bitch the whole time, but you are honestly and weirdly fun, and friendly, and somehow even more present that my father, so yeah. I love you asshole.”

And Beetlejuice… can’t say anything. His hair goes full purple and he starts sobbing right away. Lydia catches him in her arms and sinks slowly to the floor with him, while hugging him.. They stay like this for a while, BJ still crying his heart out while clutching to her, Lydia a bit teary and there for him.. and once he calms down he just mumbles “... lil bastard, you got me feeling as much as the short time that I was alive” which makes her laugh a bit.

I don’t really know how to really finish that, but they spend a little while talking and Lydia realises.. how tired he actually is. Things had happened while he was out there and he came back here because… this is the safest place he remembers.

Thanks for reading my thoughts :’D I’ll maybe write the full thing if the hyperfixation is strong enough !

[daydreaming-jessi]

Do you have any good plantonic lydia and BJ fic recs 😳

OH BOY DO I. I am very picky when it comes to fanfics, but this fandom DELIVERS.

Ok first recommendation is Crystals Speak to Me, a fic where Delia basically finds Beej has returned and disguised himself so they don’t catch him and she decides to let him stay, and Lydia gets her bfffffff back. It’s adorable and I love it because d also acts like a mom to BJ 😌

This Creepy-Looking House is a shortie but a goodie, where the breathers and ghosts of the house get ready to watch a movie together as a family. A cute lil slice of life moment of their new lives together

scout’s honor and take me where my soul can run are both VERY good, scouts honor is a lil sequel to the other about Lydia and Beej babysitting a younger Skye and apologizing to her. Take me where my soul can run is a VERY good Beetlejuice returns fic and inspired my own story

Back to My Roots is an adorable one where Beej does a dumb and forgets that Lydia just dyes her hair black. Then there’s the also adorable sequel I Would Dye for You where they dye Lydia’s hair. This author also has a really good one called It’s All Fun and Games Until Someone (Beetlejuice) Starts Crying where one stormy night Beej and Lyds watch movies, and Beej has a case of sad feelings, but Lyds cheers him up.

The series adventures of Lydia Deetz and the b-man have some real good bangers going on it, real good sad feels, good sibling love, and some beetlelands stuff which is a bonus for me but if it’s not your cup of tea, there’s still just some Lyds and Beej tales.

Oh this one is fucking HILARIOUS it’s called No Rules, Just Ghouls where Lydia sends a question to the MBMBAM podcast about her ghost brother flirting with her ghost parents. I Love. It.

Another funny shortie is Forbidden Fruit Snack where Beej eats a tide pod for Lydia, there’s also The Fuck is a Gender where Beej wears a dress, gets told about gender, and hates it. Oh a good sad by this author is I Feel Like I’m Drowning where Lydia deals with the fact that she killed Beej and turns to him for comfort and he reminds her that he’ll always be her best friend.

Into the Beetleverse is a fun movie-musical crossover where Moviejuice switches places with Musicaljuice and things go to shit, but not before Beej goes ahead and makes movie Lydia his other bfffff because apparently his friendship with Lydia is inevitable

OH THIS GOOD ASS ONE CALLED Stop Helping Me! In which Lydia is a useless lesbian, Beej and the ghost parents help her, and she helps them right back. It’s so fucking great like oh my lord

Oh Lavender is a FEELS fest where Beej and Lyds work their shit out post musical. So good

OH ANOTHER FEELS FEST is what I left behind ( @upperstories is queen and you can fight me on that)where Beej gets exorcised and saved by his family

Thievin’ Demon has Beej and Lydia both loving snug clothes and so Lyds gives Beej a gift

Oh and fuck this feels inducing motherfucker Evicted written when we first learned the terrible truth about our fav musical. Has great Lyds and Beej sibling feels.

His (After)Life is a Musical is super good, got some good shit in there. ( @fablegate is a goddamn gem and I hope they do more stuff for the fandom someday)

wake me when I’m twenty one is a real good one where Beej is actually more of an uncle, and Lydia falls asleep on him and the Maitlands gush about it while he pretends to hate it all.

And finally if you haven’t found them, i wrote one I think is kind of okay called Dreams of Death, which takes place in my Shoggoth au where Lydia has a bad dream, Beej wakes her up and comforts her. There’s also my current ongoing fic I’m a Bunch of Broken Pieces, but you probably noticed it with all the updates I put up here.

This might’ve gotten out of hand... BUT FUCK IT MAN I LOVE THESE SIBLINGS, OK?? THEY’RE SO GOOD. And I love supporting this fandom :3

[uneq-apol--arts]

So um. Beetlejuice Musical x Gravity Falls, eh? This all started from an ask sent to @cirilee then just spiralled out of hand. 

First meeting headcanons below the cut. 

----------

The Stans notice some strong anomalous behavior between LA and Death Valley Nat'l Park and decide to check it out.

They find this weird lil hut in the desert.

They hear a soft, gravelly humming inside.

Ford pulls his blaster, Stan pulls his knuckle dusters.

Stan approaches the hut first while Ford's blaster charges. Who ever is inside hears the blaster charging and comes to the door.

Stan and Beej just kinda stare at each other for a minute. Beej tries to phase through Stan but since he's visible to the twins, he can't and freezes.

"Can you see me?"

"Uh. Yeah. You look like a ripped up newspaper that fell into the sewer."

"You can see me! I'm gonna have a new... best... friend!"

Beej grabs Stan and dips him in a kiss. Ford blasts Beej and sends him flying into the dunes.

Beej stands up from where he landed, sending the bird to Ford.

"Hey! Fuck you too!"

Ford is just O_O. "How are you not singed?!"

Beej comes closer to the two and Ford realizes that his suit is indeed slightly singed. Beej takes Ford for a smooch and Stan knocks him right in the nose.

Beej falls over, nose leaking and crooked. It takes the Stans a minute to realise that Beej is floating.

The twins just watch as Beej snaps his nose back into place and the bleeding ceases.

Beej's hair starts darkening to a putrid green/blue.

"Ya could'a maybe not done that. God/Satan. The first people to see me in a year and they attack me!"

"You assaulted my brother and I!"

Stan mumbles something and Ford asks him to repeat.

"Is it really assault if you kind of liked it?"

Ford just. Just heckin' *internally*: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Beej lights up like a Christmas tree. Like. Seriously. Ties himself up in Christmas lights and all. "Come 'ere loverboy!" Beej lunges at Stan and starts smooching. Beej is to short to reach Stan's face easily so he just floats a couple inches off the ground.

-----

Stan begs Ford to let him bring Beej on the boat with them. They've become friends, to Ford's annoyance. Ford hates Beej with a passion but finds him fascinating.

Eventually, Ford gives because Beej makes Stan so happy (and because he wants to study this thing).

They make it back to LA.

Stan and Ford are doing their thing while Beej follows them, phasing through pedestrians and creeping the heck out of the twins.

They make it to the docks and Beej just freezes dead in his tracks. Ford keeps walking but Stan stops to see what's up.

"You good?"

"Nuh-uh." Beej shakes his head frantically.

"What's wrong?"

"I am not going near that." Beej points at the ocean.

"Why? What's wrong?"

"To many bad memories, loverboy."

Stan distracts Beej with kisses and leads him onto the Stan'o'War. Ford gets them out a little ways before Beej breaks away. Immediately, his hair shoots through with black and white stripes and he shrinks down to the size of Stan's shoe. Stan picks the pip-squeak Beej up by the back of his suit coat and puts him on a table in the cabin.

"Stay in here and it won't be so bad. Do you need anything to eat or drink or somethin'?"

Beej just kinda shakes his head and curls up on the table.

-----

Once Ford gets them out to sea, he comes down to the cabin to see Stan sitting over the table with fabric scraps surrounding him.

"What are you up to, Stanley?"

"Just making a bed for pip-squeak, here." Stan moves aside and Ford almost laughs at the tiny Beej sleeping on the table, a partially stitched sleeping bag in Stan's hands.

-----

Beej stayed tiny until they made it back to Oregon. Then he reverted to full size and annoyed Stan and Ford the whole drive back to Gravity Falls.

[beetlebitties]

SFW Beetlejuice HCs

Just a bunch of fun headcanons for my Beej! ENJOY!

-BJ has at least one small freaky lil animal in his pockets at all times (usually snakes, lizards, rats, and the occasional frog).

Doesn't really understand the internet, but would ABSOLUTELY have an Onlyfans account if he did.

Contrary to popular belief, HE CAN READ!!! He's just dyslexic.

Despite being about a millennia old, he still hasn't realized that 'BJ' also means blowjob.

He will wear any article of clothing, and he WILL work it!!!

Despite having the ability to summon extra limbs, he's AWFUL at multitasking

Loves to set things on fire, absolutely abuses the shit outta that power to show off.

He doesn't need to sleep or eat, but he does because its fun and it makes him feel closer to the living.

But because he's a demon, he can sleep for 1000 years and/or eat an entire Golden Corral buffet and he'd be fine lmao.

About 60% of the purple around his eyes is just makeup.

His nails tho??? ALL natural red little demon fingies.

Much like Musical Beej, his hair changes color depending on this mood: green for neutral/content, red for anger, purple for depressed/sad, and pink for flustered :3

He has STRONG Garfield energy.

His striped suit originally belonged to a dead car salesman, and he hasn't parted with it since he nabbed it.

Before then, he would still predominantly wear tacky black & white clothes because he surprisingly cares A LOT about keeping up his aesthetic!!

The little beetle clips on his suspenders are real and he modified them himself :3

Magenta (his inner shirt color) is his favorite and he tries to include it in his looks whenever he can!

His body functions by cartoon-logic: If you pinch him or squeeze him/etc., you WILL hear a honk noise.

He can *somehow* fit his way through any tight space, kinda like a cat.

When he isn't summoned, he can travel through mirrors and other reflective surfaces (just like in the cartoon!) to communicate with Lydia.

Speaking of Lydia, her and my Beej have more of a best friends/sibling vibe than a weird uncle and niece one.

That's mostly because Lydia gossips and vents to Beej about school stuff, gives him makeovers, helps him pull pranks on ppl, and gets into petty fights with him (A LOT).

They are the gay goth criminal dream team!!!

BJ has never rly thrown hands before, but don't try to actually fight him because you WILL end up with 20 snakes clinging to your ass.

He's been banned from every bar in the Netherworld, and every Olive Garden in the living world.

BJ is banned from the Olive Garden for angrily turning all of the pasta into worms when Lydia refused to get him an Unlimited Pasta Pass.

He's ALSO banned from various theme parks and children's establishments for attempting to possess animatronics and character costumes.

Let's be real, if he possessed a Chuck E Cheese he'd be UNSTOPPABLE...

Lydia has been diligently trying to encourage BJ to only prank/scare 'bad people', like bullies and condescending adults.

The worst ppl tho? Like Nazis and pedos? Beej has a special prank for them!!!! (its murder).

BJ can shapeshift into various animals and creatures, however he always retains his human head, so ppl usually tease him for it..

Despite this, he enjoys scaring the living as a snake the most >:3

BJ is of course a huge physical affection whore, especially for hugs and head scritches

He WILL start purring and he will make it painfully clear that he’s agitated if you stop...

 -Whenever there’s an ‘undesirable’ bug in the house, Lydia will summon BJ to get it.

She always takes a photograph of the bug for her insect-album before BJ monches it tho!

BJ has a bunch of nicknames for Lydia that he uses interchangeably, such as: ‘Lyds’, ‘Eyelyds’, ‘Lit-ia’, and ‘Deetz-Nuts’. Lydia hates them, but she can’t get herself to tell him they are awful..

[hyperfixiation-of-the-week]

Can you draw that role swap au, but Beej as a human?

I assume that the role swap au is the one that switches Beej’s and Lydia’s roles.

I drew some of these doodles for role swap AU a while ago and never ended up posting them. This ask reminded me they were there, and then i decided to just doodle up some more and put it all together

In my version of the role swap AU, Beej is a sad, weird kid who’s extra clingy to Lydia because she’s the only adult in his life who isn’t a piece of trash. ((Not that he would ever tell her that))

He meets the Maitlands when him and Juno move into their new home. The Maitlands are spooky lil ghost kids that haunt the place and he instantly decides that they’re going to be his new best friends.

Lydia is the one adult who pays attention to the three kids. ((When she’s not busy visiting her family in the Netherworld)). She is a horrible influence on all of them, but they adore her for it. 

OH AND I GAVE HIM TRIPP PANTS BECAUSE HE’S AN EMO EDGELORD LOL

[ironmansuuucks]

Hey... can i make request with you sweetheart? I was thinking.... Since i want dreads but everyone hates themmmm... Coming home with dreads and Dewey lovin them? Comforting you cause he knows a lot of people dont like them? Thanx love 🧡

love love love this request so much🥺 I hope this is okay my lovely, never let anyone change who you are! And Dewey Finn would 100% say to do whatever the hell you want and to stick it to the man if they don’t agree🤘🏻

Dewey Finn x reader

Also, your aesthetics never fail to amaze me @thewolfisapartofmysoul 🧡

You were high on life when you drove your car home from the hairdressers. You had actually done it. You had been talking about it and thinking about it for so long, but so many people had put you off with their negative comments.

Dewey had told you to fuck em. They mean nothing to you and do it for you and you only. So there you were. Driving to meet Dewey back at the house. With a whole new style.

You had finally went and got dreadlocks.

You did have a little anxiety about it. You knew some of your family and friends wouldn’t be best pleased, and what if Dewey secretly hated them?

No, no Dewey loves me for me. Not for what I look like. He’s not shallow. He’s not.

You convinced yourself as you walked into your shared house.

Dewey was already home. It was Saturday and he didn’t work Saturdays. You told him you had an early shift today so he wouldn’t know and it would be a surprise.

You tried to be as quiet as possible, but that damn musician heard everything.

“honey? Is that you?” he called from the back of the house.

You silently cursed your clumsy self for dropping the keys. “yeah babe it’s me”.

“you’re early! I’m in the conservatory – come join me for snuggles when your comfortable baby!” he enthused.

You smiled at how cute your fluffy rock star was. He loved it when you got away early. “I’ll be two mins dew!” you replied as you rushed to the bedroom.

You quickly changed into some joggers and one of Dewey’s band tees, running your hand through your new hair before you left the room, making sure it was sitting alright. It felt so different. You loved it.

You skipped through to the conservatory, with a bag of sour patch kids you picked up from the store (they were Dewey’s favourite), excited and a little anxious to see what Dewey would say.

You appeared in the doorway, you crossed your feet and held the sweets behind your back. Acting all cute.

“hey baby..” you started.

Dewey looked over at you from the couch. He sat up, ready for you to join him.

“hey sweetheart how was- oh. My. Gosh.” His eyes widened when he noticed your hair, and a smile creeped onto his face and ended in a little blush. He liked it a lot.

“watcha gawking at handsome?” you joked, swaying side to side.

Dewey could not take his eyes off of you, he was practically drooling.

“oh, you know, only my smoking hot, dread-head girlfriend.. come plant that sexy lil ass over here please” he tapped his hands on his thighs, practically begging you to join him.

You held up the sour patch kids in front of him before you went over, shaking them lightly, teasingly.

Dewey raised his eyebrows.

“oh? And she comes bearing treats?” he smacked his lips and chuckled a little.

You walked over to him, and sat on his lap, your legs straddling his thighs. Dewey’s hands instantly went to your hair, the sweets being disregarded in his mind. You put them on the couch next to you.

His fingers ran through your locks, studying them. “did they hurt?” he quizzed.

“nah not really, it wasn’t too bad – she tugged it a little now and then which kinda hurt but apart from that it was fine!” you replied, putting your hands up to his face, scratching his scruff lightly. “do you like em’?” you said anxiously.

“like em?!?!” he said dramatically. “babe.. I freaking love em’! I mean you were hot without them but, my god… do you like em’?” he asked lovingly. His hands moved down to your waist, rubbing circles on the skin underneath your (his) t-shirt.

“I love em!” you gleamed. “but… I’m just not sure what my friends and family will think..” your excited face fell a little.

One of Dewey’s hands shot up to your face and smoothed it with his thumb.

“who cares what they think lovebug… you like it and that’s all that matters! And if they don’t like it? Fuck em’, shouldn’t matter to them anyway.. and besides… stick it to the man, right?” he smiled into your eyes. He brought your head forwards and kissed your hairline.

“your right Dew, stick it to the man..” you grinned as you looked up at him and smiled.

“and, to me, dreadlocks are a sign of strength – almost like a lions mane.. your hair doesn’t need to be fixed, no matter what anyone says! It’s societies narrow fucking minded view that needs to be fixed! Don’t let them change you.. or rearrange you, promise? My little dread-head rebel?”.

You grinned at him, “I promise, my handsome Rockstar”.

He kissed you lovingly. Again, and again, and again.

Request List Poll

Okay. I would like to clear out some of my requests if I can. I went on a long hiatus a while back, so now some of my requests are probably going on over a year old.

It was my intent when I got them to write them even if it took a while, but if the interest in a request is no longer there, I would rather remove it from my list and make room and time for something people are more interested in, now.

So I’ll be posting my current requests below and I would really appreciate any of you who are willing and able to let me know which ones you would like to see. You can comment, send a message, send an ask, send an ask on anon, however you’re comfortable. You can vote for as many of the requests as you want! Just please only vote once for anything you want me to keep on my list.

I will keep a separate list with everything saved, so that nothing is lost, just in case. And if something isn’t voted for, but I had an idea for the request or really liked it, I can still write it. But I would love to have my requests cleaned out for my own mental clarity, if nothing else.

I'm including recent requests not because I want to get rid of them, but so you know what all of my requests are and so that you can tell me what you’re interested in seeing. I figure most of the recent requests will still have a large amount of interest, however, if something has none, I’ll probably move it over to my other list to be saved in case someone asks about it in the future, but I won’t plan to write it, at least soon, otherwise.

Also, please know that if you’re my friend and you sent in a request, I absolutely still intend to write it. Your request is here just so you know it’s on my list and to see what kind of interest level there is. I have no intention of deleting a friend’s request.

Please cast your votes by next Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2019 at 11:59 pm EST. That gives a week for people to see this.

Thank you for your help!

Beetlejuice:

Halloween related asks? You got it! How about Beetlejuice X reader with Lydia being the readers best friend and all three of you guys having an epic movie night. All of the classic horror movies, and the reader just being a big ol baby who is scared and hiding in BJs lap while Lydia and Beej laugh???

Imagine Beetlejuice catching reader trying on a lil cat costume or something for Halloween and just being like 😍😍😍 hell yeah that’s my girl! Or alternatively him seeing you dress like HIM for Halloween

Beej and Lydia with an S/O with Aspergers headcanons?

Okay I sent this to other people, but that's because I want to see everyone's interpretation! We all love soft boi Beej but let's be real here, we all came here for the mischievous little devil! Pranks! Jokes! Teasing!

Hi hope you’re doing good! If you’re still taking requests can there be one where reader and Beetlejuice are just bffs so they go around causing chaos? But reader accidentally gets hurt and BJ realizes that reader is still human. Doesn’t have to be graphic either. Just a wholesome friendship ^~^

Could you do a Beetlejuice x Reader where the listener comes home from an exhausting day, and just wants to little spoon and get the best cuddles? Also, male listener?

Winter cuddles with BJ little spoon reader?

Lydia Deetz:

Homecoming and/or prom with Lydia?

Would you mind doing a Lydia x Reader (or Cady x Reader if you still write for Mean Girls) during the holidays? Christmas perhaps? Also, happy October 3rd!

Okay so like Lydia and her girlfriend spending a second christmas together and reader gets everyone in the house a gift, even beetlejuice! Lydia sees this as a huge step in their relationship because she sees how much her girlfriend has changed in a year considering she was very nervous, felt bad only getting Lydia a gift. To how shes more open and friendly with Charles and Delia, how she pokes fun at Beetlejuice, and how close she is to Adam and Barbara. Lyds is just head over heels in love.

Beej and Lydia with an S/O with Aspergers headcanons?

Regina George:

If the requests are still open I just gotta request a regina x nb reader who is seen as a loser but goes to a party and has of course a sexy masculine costume on and just everyone is like "oh no their hot"

Janis Sarkisian:

Janis Sarkisian x reader - song lyric prompt, “I can’t shake this feeling feeling I know you’re not there and I’m barely breathing.”

Cady Heron:

Would you mind doing a Lydia x Reader (or Cady x Reader if you still write for Mean Girls) during the holidays? Christmas perhaps? Also, happy October 3rd!

Aaron Samuels:

[daydreaming-jessi]

Lmao guess who’s dealing with an existential crisis so she decided to write more for the Beetlejuice cat au???? If you wanna see the previous posts then just go to the shoggoth au tag on me blog kk

So, now Charles and Delia go from having 0 cats in the house to suddenly having 5.

It’s worse than the sudden ghosts

Because! Charles is allergic to cats! Emily was allergic to dogs, it’s why they never had any pets in the house before.

But he can’t exactly say no he’s seen shoggoth bring Lydia down from sudden panic attacks in like ten minutes and the kittens just lessen the panic attacks altogether!

Delia points out that the house aura has never felt better than when the cats were there. He sighs a heavy dad sigh and resigns to like twenty years of constantly taking Benadryl. (Shoggoth has also declared him a perfect nap lap and he also seems to be doing so much better mentally with the cats around. He likes seeing the kittens trample over each other after string sue him)

Barb and Adam are ecstatic!! Barb just adores animals! She had all kinds growing up, like snakes, lizards, fish, dogs, rodents, ferrets, and especially cats!!

I personally think she may have grown up on a farm, thus was constantly around animals (and doing hard work making her ultra strong).

Adam is more into bugs and snakes, but he loved fostering cats whenever he and barb took in a batch of christmas kittens, and these guys are so! Smart! Shoggoth has figured out how to open the attic door to sunbathe in the windows in the afternoon and the kittens have learned how to fetch! For them! When they need something for their town model!!!! (They of course are specially made for the model)

They name one kitten Patchie because it’s just so splotchy with it’s black and white fur and looks like a mini version of his mom but like a printer ran out of ink while making him. Beej tells them they are the most basic people he’s ever known and he loves them

Delia loves the cats, shoggoth will supervise Delia’s morning yoga everyday, sometimes joining in her own kitty way, and the kittens jumble up everywhere in the kitchen and garden whenever she is working in there, But one kitten... one kitten!

Delia swears they have some strange competition going on! This kitten pops out of nowhere and scares the daylights out of her every time! It is exactly like Lydia! (Lyds, Beetlejuice, stop laughing, it’s true!)

Lydia grins deviously and names this lil tabby brown lad Azazel. Beej cackles in the background while Delia is a lil confused.

But there’s this other fluffy black kitten with the most gorgeous dark eyes, and it reminds her so much of Lydia as well, so she names that little baby Circe. Lydia and Beej secretly think this is the coolest thing ever. Charles just smiles fondly and is ever more grateful for this eccentric lady that has become a part of their lives. Adam and barb think Delia is a delight (lol)

But there’s one kitten. One lil tabby black girl that’s just... dumb.

Like, you never think cats can be dumb, they’re so graceful and elegant and just.... smart! But this one kitten...

Shoggoth seems to always be supervising this kitten and yet it still gets in trouble. She’s managed to lock herself in the guestroom closet twenty two times- make that twenty three. (Charles get the coat hanger, she’s done it again!)

This kitten doesn’t seem to be mentally lacking behind her brothers and sister, she just... doesn’t seem to think things through.

Whenever someone takes a bath she wants into the bathroom, and she’ll want to sit in their laps while they’re in the bath so she’ll jump in without realizing that the human is... in a bath. Of water. Many times a soggy black shadow will sprint down the stairs away from the bathroom while someone in there laughs.

Beej took it upon himself to name this kitten.

“Her name... is Beef.”

“... Beej that is the worst name I’ve ever heard.”

“No, no, my mother is the one that’s come up with the worst name ever and that’s calling your son Beetlejuice instead of Lawrence in front of everyone they know forever sealing his fate as beetlejuice.”

“.... Beej you okay?”

“I am never okay Lyds.”

Beef is a special kitten that Shoggoth seems to stretch herself thin trying to keep in check. The parents can relate when this cat comes into the living room at night looking haggard and crashing on the nearest soft surface to pass out for twelve hours away from her kids currently crowded on lydia’s bed.

Many of lydias photography now include dozens of pictures of the cats (and pics Beej had a hand in choreographering). The cats being goofy, the cats being majestic, shoggoth is a star in many creepy photos, being a cat that just screams bad luck with her one eye and crooked tail, there’s one of Delia about to be scared by azazel that always cracks lyds up

Lydia feels her aesthetic is complete when she goes out walking five cats on harnesses wearing full mourning clothes and her camera while electric green haired Beej follows wearing college sweatshirts and jogger handmedowns from Charles. What is this aesthetic? Hell if she knows.

If you can’t find Beej anywhere he’s most likely where the cats are. He loves to nap in the sun with shoggoth, he loves slinking around the shadows with azazel, he loves playing with patchie in the wood shavings of the maitlands model town carving, he loves drifting after beef as she gets in mischief. Sometimes he’ll be sitting down and suddenly the cats all climb on top of him and take a nap, and he’s just still and suddenly at peace and doesn’t need to do anything else. He just, really loves these cats.

It’s kind of scary for him, since they have a much shorter life span than breathers do, and he’s not entirely sure where animals go when they die. He’ll get really quiet sometimes thinking about death and how suddenly it can change his entire life when before it was basically all he knew. He feels much better when shoggoth begins grooming his crazy hair and Lydia shows him another breather thing or Delia asks him to go shopping with her, or the maitlands ask him questions about ghost things, or Charles shows Beej another cool house he’s selling.

Head cannons of Beetlejuice now lives with the deetz time

Everyone... tries to get used to beetlejuice. Delia makes the most surprising progress. Within two days she’s calling Beej Lawrence and both him and Lydia are helping her make breakfast in the morning before he helps her with her garden and dusting her crystal collection. She’s pretty much adopted him like she instantly adopted Lydia when Charles hired her.

Charles has some reservations. This guy tried to marry his daughter, chased him and Delia out of their house, getting him fired from his job, and tried to kill him several times. But then he sees what Delia sees.

And what did Delia see?

A kid. Just, a kid that was really badly abused by his mom. He has abandonment issues from losing his dad and basically learned that the only way to get people to be nice to is by manipulating them. People don’t love you, Lawrence, you’re a useless mess of a boy that’s good for nothing and has no friends. Love is not for people like you.

Charles joins the Beej protection squad lyds and Delia have formed pretty quickly after that.

It’s harder for Adam and barb. They both are still a little scared of Beej. They would be cool with him, but he harassed them a lot before. Lydia can’t blame them but she also knows that Beej struggles to understand personal boundaries and really does have a big crush on them. Lydia is helping Beej better understand personal space (she had a tough time with it too when she was younger) and he’s learning to not force himself on others quite so much.

Beej really does like the maitlands, they’re stable, really in love with each other, actually genuinely nice, they’re kind of the coolest couple of newlydeads he’s ever met. He... wants to be a part of that. But he’s not completely sure how to join that. His usual tactic of overtly sexual actions usually work all the time, but not here. They enjoy... genuine affection??? Who??? What??? What do you mean you like me for my personality my personality is depressed garbage?

Lydia is relieved. No more keeping secrets from her family. Her pseudo brother best friend is now summoned again, being on his best behavior and allowed to stay with them and is now also healing from his mom troubles, and she has five cats now. Nice. Dead mom would love this new family Lydia and Charles made themselves. They love it too.

Of course, this doesn’t mean Lydia and Beej haven’t given up their favorite pastime.

Whenever Delia and Charles are out, and the maitlands are busy up in the attic, the two share an evil grin, and start to call some numbers, ready to hear that beautiful sound once more.

Now with the added bonus of cat yowls and howls. That really freaks people out.

What? Just because he’s getting over trauma and is a part of a loving family doesn’t mean Beej is a better person now. It just means his mom isn’t holding him back anymore >:3

So... what happens when Juno comes back wanting revenge on her no good son?

Lemme know if y’all wanna hear anymore of this au or have ideas of your own I’m kinda on a beetlejuice kick rn lol
