"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 !

my favorite duo gothbaby and bugdude

mr. juice if ur out there please come kiss me on the mouth

[obsessive-ego]

Didn't you have beetlejuice himself say that the use of the dress was a reference? Did the other anon skip that part??? I am so sorry you have to deal with so much stupid. Lovely fic btw, loved reading it 💖

Yeah I did say that

Like

Juno: isnt that the dress you made that poor child wear?

Beej: yeah, it's a callback, and y/n loves it

Y/n agrees

Like it goes without saying everytime I bring up the forced wedding from the musical it's to make fun,

But you know people make their own conclusions and make mountains out of ant hills

I dont care, they can think what they want, I'm too old to be playing games,

I think beetleb*bes is gross, and that's that

Thanks bud, I'm glad you liked it♡

[hawaiian-has-moved]

Hiiiii I like beetlebabes and beetlelands. Am I safe to interact? (I'm a minor, btw)

Beetleb*bes DNI means all in general and no exceptions. But since you are a minor and you aren't coming at me with any aggression like the majority of Beetleb*bes, I'd like to take this time to explain to you why you shouldn't be shipping Beetleb*bes. Especially when you are a minor.

One, the adults in the Beetleb*bes side of this fandom are extremely toxic. They've come after me or talked about me for no goddamn reason other than to just make mockery of my looks or fashion choices. Then they like to go after my friends and claim they're the homophobic ones. They get angry when someone says I, (Beetlejuice) am Jewish when it is canon to the musical.

You're associating yourself with a very dangerous group of adults. Make sure you stay safe. Even better just don't associate with them at all.

Next, the ship itself. Lydia in all cases is a minor. The movie I think she's like 17 (or at the very least I think Wynona Rider is) the musical 15, and the cartoon 12-13. She does not even age in canon. Though I do not mind making her older to where it sets place in the future, making her older to pair her with a ancient demon/ghost that has known her since she was a minor is wrong. The thought of any juice waiting for her to be of consent age is absolutely disgusting. Waiting on a minor to age so you can sexualize them is an evil and vile thought. And it is equally vile for anyone to age a child up. If you were to say age two children up so they could have a relationship together, I get that, one was not older than the other, and now they're together and both reach consent age at the same time. But with that you also better not be aging them up only to sexualize them.

Now, if you do not age Lydia up, this brings me to the next point. Lydia has never been a consenting adult ever. She is a minor. A child's brain is still in development and will continue to be until around 25 years old. Manipulation and normalizing sexual acts with a child can heavily damage a child for the rest of their life. Which is why I mention you should not be interacting with adults in the Beetleb*bes fandom as a minor. You yourself could be hurt. It is extremely obvious that they do not understand what a minor could go through if sexualized by an adult. I just say it with kindness and hope you'd understand that you are putting your safety at risk.

I myself am a minor, and though I have not gone through anything like that, the images I've had the unfortunate circumstance of seeing because Beetleb*bes cannot tag their shit correctly in the cartoon tag, has made it very obvious that they do not know the word consent. I saw Lydia, who still looked like her 12 year old self minus the pair of boobs the artist crudely gave her choking on her drink as Toonjuice took advantage of her sexually. There is no excuse for that. It's vile and fucking evil.

And for Beetlelands before any Beetleb*be adults crawl out of their mother's basements to yell at me... Beetlejuice meets the Maitlands when they are adults. Yes, he does grope and harass them, but since they are consenting adults, they can easily talk that out. You cannot talk out sexually assaulting a minor. That is damaging. Also when I see Beetlelands art work it's mostly soft stuff of them hanging out, Beetleb*bes on the other hand is mostly just sexualization of a minor. When I first returned to Tumblr and had yet to block the accounts and tags, the Beetlejuice cartoon tag was full of cut off images of Lydia and Toonjuice having sex.

So, I don't know if that'll change your mind on anything, and I frankly do not care what you choose. You may come back to my account if you do not ship a p*dophilic ship, but for now it's a no. And please do be careful around those adults. One of them literally drew Alex Brightman with a bullet wound in his head and also tied to a train track. They're dangerous and pathetic... Just ugh.

There is more I would say, but I've said it all already. Just search discourse on my page for my opinions on the subject if something was left unanswered, but then refrain from interacting beyond that.

what is beetleb*bes? and why is it bad? sorry if it's a dumb question, im just getting into the beetlejuice fandom-

It's a totally reasonable question! Dw about it, friendo!

Beetleb*bes (Beetlebabes or BeetleLyds) is the ship between Lydia and Beetlejuice! Often times Lydia is aged up, so that the ship isn't pedophilic in nature. Personally, I do not ship it. It makes me wildly uncomfortable.

I like Beej and Lydia as friends, and see their dynamic as strictly Platonic (Their Platonic Pairing is sometimes called BeeteBesties or BeetleBros).

I hope this was a good answer! Welcome to the fandom Btw! I really hope you enjoy yourself in it! :))) 🖤💚🖤

[strawberrybouvine]

I block Beetleb*bes shippers btw !

So if you ship it please unfollow me, thanks :)

[totally-incorrect-theatre-quotes]

are submissions down or is my tumblr being weird? if they are is it permanent? (btw I was the “one hug for Lydia” one and that was completely platonic, that’s why I put forehead kiss but idk if it got across)

Submissions should be open, I don’t close them. 

Also no I totally got that it was platonic, I just wanted to make it EXTRA clear because I didn’t want any beetleb*bes shippers latching onto the innocent post

[yankyo]

Yall b like "beetleb@bes is abusive and even if it werent pedophilia the amount of power beej would have of lydia is disgusting!" And then go write fics about beetlejuice killing the readers sort of boyfriend cos hes that possessive????? What the fuck are yall ok? Im not even a beetleb@be btw i think its disgusting

First of all, I have not said anything to any beetleb@bes shippers, I avoid that whole thing like a plague cuz of trauma. I'm not s shipper, but I wouldn't call myself an anti either. I'm just on the sidelines with sunglasses ignoring the whole thing

Second of all, at no point is this fic played like a good thing. The reader is obviously horrified dude? And in the beginning I point out how unhealthy the relationship is? Like it's a darker piece dude, what do you want me to say?

Third of all, if you aren't enjoying yourself, there's a nifty little button you can press. You don't need to come onto my page and send some half assed attempt of shaming using anon. You're more than welcome to not like my content and not interact with me.

Have a great day, don't let the door hit ya on the way out
