Betelgeuse x Lydia Deetz HCs

────────                                                                                  GIFs are not mine

Betelgeuse with Lydia

follows her around EVERYWHERE - he's even followed her into the bathroom, where she had to physically push him out and tell him to go wait in the other room because waiting outside the door was a violation of her privacy.

will do literally anything to make her smile or laugh.

is very affectionate, even in inappropriate situations.

values physical contact/affection with her but doesn't do anything/touch anywhere she tells him not to.

plays dumb just to have her help him with random shit.

rarely refers to/calls her by name, everything is a pet name.

has licked her before, which grosses her out but amuses him.

Lydia with Betelgeuse

genuinely trusts him with her well-being, even if she acts like she can't stand him.

gets flustered when he gets too intimate with her (he's been known to cross some lines every now and then).

will deny any interest in him, however actions speak louder than words, and some things she does or lets him do proves her claim to be questionable to others observing. 🤔

keeps the playlist he made for her and listens to it from time to time.

the only things she can't bring herself to allow is kissing him, being held by him, and sleeping/making-out with him. the closest they got was being in the same bed and him insistent with having his arm around her, but she was very clear with boundaries.

would put her life on the line to protect him, if necessary.

not afraid to tell him off, snap at him, or boss him around. he listens of course.

Together

"I Know Places" by Taylor Swift is their theme (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice).

are ironically on the same page. a lot.

aside from the possession antics, they are impressive dance partners. can do a mean tango and improvise a separate dance style as well. 😜

are conscious of each other's well-being in abnormal situations.

would be the first to take care of each other if sick or injured.

typical extrovert x introvert energy. they shouldn't work, but they do.

are the type of duo to sporadically race each other up/down a hill or stairs, down the street, to a mutual destination, etc.

i love these two sm. thank you for requesting them!! 🩵

[myst1xx]

i cant choose between the headcanon that lydia used to dye her hair blonde because emily had blonde hair and she wanted to match and after she passed she let her natural black grow out

OR

her hair is naturally blonde and after emily passed she dyed it black because emilys hair was black and it makes her feel more connected to her

Betelgeuse and Astrid "Death" Parallel

I'm not sure what else to call this observation/rambling, but I've been thinking a lot about the events of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, and on my most recent viewing, I noticed something super satisfying about this scene. You know, other than the obvious.

We all know Beej is not one to turn down a deal, least of all when it involves his own self-interest. And of course, it's very advantageous for him to rescue the daughter of the woman whose heart he's trying desperately to win. But there's another delicious layer to him being the one to personally dispose of Jeremy Fraizer...

Betelgeuse knows exactly what it's like to be manipulated by love, only to then have your life taken from you.

Delores manipulated him under the guise of love to steal his life (and his soul) to gain immortality, the same way that Jeremy pretended to care for Astrid so that he could ultimately take her life for his own.

It's think pretty accurate to assume that neither Delores nor Jeremy felt anything genuine for their victims. They were a means to an end. But where Betelgeuse had to defend himself on his own, unable to reverse what had been done, Astrid was not alone. While she was preoccupied with running from the afterlife authorities, reuniting with her father, and getting some much-needed family closure, there was someone else looking out for her.

Enter our anti-hero.

We don't get any direct insight into Beej's thoughts on the Jeremy situation, but it probably struck a nerve for him. He would never admit it, but how could it not? We already know he's privy to Rory's manipulation of Lydia and is eager to expose him, but this is not about a toxic, gold-digging relationship. This is literally life and death. It follows that he would be just as if not more upset to learn that a murderous wolf in sheep's clothing was trying to kill Lydia's daughter, especially given the nature of his own death.

(I mean c'mon, he used his one PG-13 ordained f-bomb on the guy. I think it's safe to say he felt pretty strongly about Jeremy's villainy.)

We all know how it plays out in the end, but I think it's rather poetic that Beej is able to avenge his 'would-be stepdaughter' and save her from a devious scheme very similar to the one that he fell prey to.

He couldn't get his own life back from Delores (though arguably he does, at least metaphorically, in the finale), but he was able to give Astrid back hers.

So there you have it. Now that I see the parallels, it's ten times more vindicating that Betelgeuse was the one that got to send that slimeball to hell. And let's be honest: Beej would probably agree.

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

[xxx-theartofsuicide-xxx]

Headcanon: Betelgeuse somehow beyond their notice orchestrated the Maitlands finding the loophole that allowed them to move on. This gets them out of the way so that they are no longer obstacles on his path to Lydia.

Convenient indeed.

My random Beetlejuice headcanons

It's taken me a few days to write the next chapter of my fic, because it has very heavy content. I'm breaking for a moment with some of my headcanons that I've used in my fics. Some are a bit spicy so be warned:

He's a dangerous driver because he doesn't respect laws nor fears death.

Don't you dare talk badly about Lydia online or he WILL troll you into the next dimension! His roasts are legendary, and his Twitter is fire.

Under normal circumstances, Beetlejuice is the kind of guy who views sex as a race to the finish where the woman loses. "A female orgasm isn't necessary for reproduction. If God doesn't care, why should I?" But when it comes to Lydia, he's a very generous lover and always wants to make sure she has a good time before he does.

He always views Astrid as his daughter, without a shadow of a doubt. And he's willing to do anything to bond and win her favor. Including going to environmental protests with her or scaring bullies at school.

He either sleeps nude or wears boxers with the Batman logo printed on them.

When he's at the urinal he drops his pants to his ankles so everyone can see his hairy, moldy ass and it makes everyone in the bathroom super uncomfortable.

Lydia makes him shower to wash the mold and grave dirt off him, but it grows back the next day.

His "juice" glows in the dark, is off green, and tastes like that Beetlejuice Fanta. He can make it taste like anything, but he thinks that rancid apple flavor is appealing to Lydia. It isn't.

One body part has sandworm stripes and measures at 7.5 inches. He can also change the curve and other wacky shit.

He has mommy issues resulting in letting dark haired fair skinned women dominate him in bed.

He has an eclectic taste in music, but if you ask him his response is "Honey, I listen to anything that gets me laid."

He prefers his women "all natural" since he came from a time where ladies didn't shave anything.

Lydia is absolutely CRAZY about his blonde body hair, and she jokingly calls him "blondie" which he hates.

If he's home alone he has no problems walking around the house naked. He views his body as "God's gift to women."

Totally willing to do it in public situations, like when Lydia's at work or in the backseat of the car.

Read my fics here if so inclined.

Beetlejuice 3 should be fucked up

This might sound a bit off, but if they make a Beetlejuice 3 it should be an wince inducing highly problematic romantic comedy with Beetlejuice actually properly courting Lydia and her going for it. Why? Because it'd be a great parody of all those gothic horror questionable romance stories like Phantom Of The Opera. Think about it: Lydia could be like "oh, you want me?" * pulls BJ down by his tie * "then work for it!" in a passive-aggressive dismissive way but then Beetlejuice actually earnestly tries to appeal to her and somehow it works and Lydia decides to actually give him a chance wich would lead into a just absolutely bizarre mockery of a Hallmark romance movie, all the while the audience goes from one mood whiplash to another as they alternate between "oh, this is so sweet" and "good lord Lydia NO! don't snuggle up to that freak" in the same scene. Astrid would spend almost the entire movie in perpetual schock at what is transpiring before her eyes as her 50 to 60 year old mother is making out with that nasty ghoul as if he's a hot vampire hunk.

Wouldn't even be too outlandish for the franchise. Afterall, the first movie was a haunted house story and the second one a soap opera family and relationship drama, so why not make the third one just a super questionable romance?

[herefortheships]

If anything, this could be a good idea for a fanfic.

I was thinking earlier, what could they do with Astrid for Beetlejuice 3? There are many possibilities for her character. She doesn't have to be reduced to moody teenager angry at her mom, especially now that her issues with Lydia were resolved after Beetlejuice 2. There's also the fact that now she knows there truly is an afterlife and that her dad is okay. She also now has the ability to see ghosts and interact with them, so there's a lot for Astrid to get to know about herself and her new abilities.

And that's what I'm getting at. She now has to get used to her newfound ability to interact with the dead. For a girl who was skeptical of ghosts only days before she discovered all of this, it won't be too easy to get used to her new life. Lucky for her, she has her mother; Lydia might not have had anybody to help her. Sure, she had the Maitlands, but she had no psychic, living person to teach her how to handle her ability, and we can see how a life of being able to see and talk to ghosts did take a toll on Lydia's mental heath. Astrid has Lydia to help her, but, and here's where we go into head-canon speculation territory: what if Astrid's abilities to interact with the world of the dead go beyond Lydia's? What if she feels alone with her new powers, realizing her mom can't help her? Heck, what if Lydia herself realizes she can't really help Astrid? You guessed it: enter Betelgeuse.

I can see Astrid being the one to call him, though, in this story idea. Here's a good reason to summon him: he might be the only one Astrid can turn to for help now. As I've said probably too many times already in this blog, Astrid doesn't really know Betelgeuse yet. She only knows that her mom says he's bad news, that he's crazy about her mom, and that he saved her life. That's it. She doesn't really have evidence of him being really bad news (if we discount the influencers lol). He did puppeteer her into a dance around the wedding cake, but, is there anything truly harmless in that? He just put on a show for the wedding. This only served to show how scary powerful he truly is.

Astrid might come to the conclusion that she will need someone else to help her navigate this new life with what she can only describe as supernatural powers, and Betelgeuse might be the only one who can really help her. Maybe Lydia and her even get into an argument over something Astrid realized she could do with these abilities she gained not only through her bloodline, but also through having died and then returned to life in the Netherworld (we're in speculation territory here, so let's go crazy). Maybe what Astrid discovered she could do now, which scared Lydia, was the ability to control others just like Betelgeuse and the Maitlands and likely other ghosts can do.

So Astrid goes to someone she knows will help her navigate all this, and that is Betelgeuse. Here's where the writers can get creative. I love the suggestion about Betelgeuse helping Astrid if she helps him win Lydia's heart. That'd be fun to watch and also a plausible storyline if the screenwriters sit down to think a little. They just have to come up with the antagonistic force, and that one's pretty easy too. It could be Delores again, or it could be a threat from the world of the living. OR better yet: a threat from the Netherworld coming after Astrid because of her Supernatural abilities. They just have to get creative. But this idea for Astrid I really like, tbh; her figuring out she will need more help than what her mom can give her. Alternatively, here's also where they can bring in Lydia's mom. Lydia could think her mom has the answers to everything about their ghost-seeing powers. And I really like the idea of Astrid having gained something more from her brief ordeal in the Netherworld. I've seen a few fans suggest this one about Astrid’s powers here. (Reply so I can tag you if this was you; I believe they mentioned Astrid having powers being something similar to Danny Phantom but not quite. I gotta scroll through my blog to find it.)

Lydia Deetz HCs

teenager // post-Beetlejuice

────────                                                                                  GIFs are not mine

would have nightmares of/about Betelgeuse and be awoken and comforted by Barbara & Adam

learned how to play the piano 

grew distant with Delia and Charles for a short period of time, where she rarely interacted or talked to them outside of having dinner together when she was forced to

started seeing ghosts wherever she went, some of which terrified her. she’d end up in the counselor’s office at school due to outbursts of “visions”

she was bullied in school because of it, and when she refused to go to therapy recommended by her parents and teachers, Delia forced her to get out of the house and spend time with other girls in her classes as a distraction

Lydia found that the type of ghosts she sees (how scary or non-scary they look) vary based on her emotional state. Barbara & Adam were the only ones that ever stay consistent through them all

on one of the days Lydia was with the girls group, they locked her in a closet with a light switch on the outside and repetitively turned the lights on and off as a joke to her seeing ghosts. every time the lights came on, Lydia would see a new ghost, and because she was stressed, anxious, and panicked, all those that appeared were violently and/or gruesomely presented

she never trusted anyone after that, aside from her parents and the Maitlands. And then she met Richard…

adult // post-Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

────────                                                                                  GIFs are not mine

growls at people. i don’t make the rules

midnight is the earliest she goes to sleep. she may “go to bed” around 10:00 but she’ll always be awake at least until midnight. Astrid knows this and consistently goes into her room just to talk, even after midnight

she and Astrid get much closer as mother and daughter. like that wasn’t obvious

isn’t scared of much in regards to ghosts or demons, but she still can’t stand snakes, since Beetlegeuse’s rattlesnake mutant from her adolescence. she knows it was him, but that thing’s fucking terrifying

is very welcoming of who Astrid brings home, but has the over-protective instinct of seeing and hearing everything, even when the teens don’t think she does

she exploits, embarrasses, and calls Astrid out for shits and giggles

she’s prefers cats to dogs. she makes friends with all the feral cats around, especially the black ones 

is always down for a Halloween movie night!

actually kinda misses Betelgeuse every now and then but refuses to admit it

[ur-fav-is-autistic]

Lydia Deetz from Beetlejuice is Autistic!

[lirarey]

Okay, I looked up the height difference between Winona Ryder and Michael Keaton... It's about 14 cm (~5,5 inches). This means that Beetlejuice is about half a head taller than Lydia. And I imagined cute headcanons.

Of course, when kissing you can just lean in/extend your neck, but that's too easy. But what about "Spider-Man Kiss"? Imagine Lydia going about her daily business with Beetlejuice following her around, constantly teasing her. At one point she can't take it anymore and throws her head back, dreaming of at least hitting him. And it turns out to be as close as possible to his face. Beetlejuice sees Astrid passing by, gives Lydia a quick kiss, and flies off into the air laughing. Astrid shakes her head, smiling involuntarily. Lydia can't help but smile, too.

You know that situation when you can't reach the top shelf? Beetlejuice is always ready to help Lydia and just lift her up, but she doesn't agree because Beetlejuice really likes to bury his nose in her neck and not let go. I don't know, but for some reason it seems to me that he really loves hugs.

Oh yeah, hugs. I don't remember if it was canon that ghosts themselves are cold? Because at this point Beetlejuice likes to warm up with her hugs. Sometimes Lydia has moments of fatigue when she just doesn't know what to do next. At first, Beetlejuice tries to amuse her with all sorts of jokes (okay, throwing Rory's things off the balcony was funny), but if that doesn't help, he snaps his fingers. A soft chair appears... and a bunch of flying candles in the shape of Beetlejuice himself. Okay, I think I overdid it. BUT IMAGINE HER SITTING AND HIS HEAD LAYING ON HER SHOULDER. Sorry, I love fluff too much and I'm afraid of misinterpreting the characters-

And a few more thoughts without reference to height. Astrid often jokingly refers to Beetlejuice as her stepfather, mentioning that they're quite similar. For a long time, Lydia couldn't imagine herself with him even as a couple, but Beetlejuice's concern for Astrid helped her change her mind. In the end, they made a pretty good family.

Beetlejuice would probably like to live a little longer. It's not my idea, but he could marry Lydia so he can become human and grow old with her. Lydia definitely won't believe that he's willing to lose everything he had in the Afterlife.

Well my gf made me post this lol

BEETLEJUICE TICKLE HEADCANONS

Enjoy (~˘▾˘)~

Adam:

• Totally switch

• He often has a Lee mood, but he can't ask anyone but Barb to help him. Lydia just refuses.

• BUT, if he's in a ler mood Barbara is the first in line to be "tortured."

• Tickly neck kisses for his wife!!

• Small teasing "look how adorable you are."

• Damn gentle. SO GENTLE.

• Just squeezes lightly here and there to make someone squeal.

• She's basically ler, but with Adam she allows herself to be a lee.

Barbara:

• She has a charmingly squeaky laugh.

• Gently teasing ler. Something like "Oh, look at you.. so cute." (she mean it, she doesn't say this because she wants to embarrass you)

• The worst spot is her sides.

• She is soft but playful in her movements. She moves slowly from spot to spot.

• She nuzzles Adam. (And she knows perfectly well how ticklish he is)

• Sometimes she tries to tickle Lydia, but it ends with "don't touch me, otherwise I'll find a way to banish you."

• Aftercare!! She gently strokes your head and just sits/lies next to you.

• This guy is ruthless.

Beetlejuice:

• Most likely it started by accident when he tried to grope you (if you are a girl) and you laughed.

• "Ooohoh babe, look atcha, I've touched a soft spot."

• Absolutely chaotic. He doesn't care what he does, no tenderness, he just squeezes and Pinches you wherever he can: sides, ribs, knees, everywhere. He just doesn't want to use other techniques because it's just fun for him to see you squirming around trying to cover the place on your body that he just pinched.

• Let's just remember that he can revive objects around him. You think he won't take advantage of it?

• Lydia is his main target, but sometimes he teases Adam and Barbara.

• He loves it when someone squeaks or screams.

• He himself is almost not tickled because no one dared or just does not want to..

• If someone tries, they will have a funny reaction. Like, "Damn, what are you doing? But I'm being touched by a fucking girl right now.. UGH". If you are a man, then he will have only 1 option.

• Most likely, it will just make you stop. He will literally make you.

• A damn loud and snorty laugh.

• "Babe sta-AHAHAP"

[possum-quesadilla]

HEADCANON TIME BCUZ I WANT YOU TO FEEL BETTER

Adam and Barbara both know how to sew, and they both made little dolls of themselves for Beetlejuice to hold on to. Both dolls have a little packet of stuff that reminds Beetlejuice of their scents and they are also weighted!!

One time, Beetlejuice and Lydia went to the beach. Beetlejuice dug a hole and laid in it, while Lydia covered him with a blanket. They put a cup of French fries over the towel and spent all afternoon trying to catch a seagull.

The Shoggoth once drank some shampoo “just to see what it would taste like”. Cue Barbara and Adam frantically trying to wash its mouth out. Every time it tried to talk, all that would come out was garbled words and bubbles.

Beetlejuice kicks in his sleep. The only thing that calms him down is Adam or Barbara petting his hair

That’s all I’ve got right now, I’ll think of more stuff!! Hope things get better for you

-Cosmo 🖤✨

Fuuuuck these are so cute!!!! Thank you….

- THAT. IS. SO. CUTE. LITTLE DOLLS TO KEEP THEM CLOSE WHEN THEYRE NOT PHYSICALLY THERE. IM GONNA CHEW OFF MY CAR BUMPER!!!! /pos

- Imagine the chaos if they ever actually caught a seagull… what was their plan? What were they going to do with it?

Hehe I’m just imagining the like ten seconds of celebration followed by “oh god what do we do with it now”

- GOD. YEAH. PROBABLY. That doofus will eat anything that might smell or look appetizing… the bubbles coming out every time it bickers with Barbara and Adam about “but it smells so nice!!” hehehe

- Absolutely. I think that guy probably even sleep fights or sleep walks. But yeah head pets from their partners calm them right down :)

Thank you again for these, they are phenomenal <3
