Next time Lydia is in trouble and summons Betelgeuse to help her out, it should go like

"Are you gonna pay my usual fee?"

*sigh* "Yeah, fine, sure."

[to himself]: "Fuck-all, then." [out loud]: Ok, so where's this rogue Reaper?"

I DREW LYDBUBU AND BEETLEBUBU!! I drew BJ in his canonical thiccness. Hope you like it 👉👈

WHAT A DELIGHTFUL SURPRISE TO WAKE UP TO, I LOVE IT!!!

AHHHHHHHHHH 🥹🥹🥹🥹

THESE ARE SOOO CUTE, BJ’S LIL MOUSTACHE, LYDIA’S GRUMPY EXPRESSION, THEIR TEENY TINY CLAWS, THE SLIGHT HEIGHT DIFFERENCE THAT MAKES HER LOOK LIKE HIS ANGRY LITTLE SISTER? BWAAAAAAAAAA. BJ is so perfectly chunky and fluffy, and Lydia’s teeny eyelashes made me tear up with joy!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, SO MUCH!!! These are the cutest lil guys I’ve ever seen! Micro trend it not, I’d seize these little guys and cherish them until they became family heirlooms! (I’m sooo tempted now to make these a reality but I would sob if the art piece I made as a statement about consumerism ended up becoming my legacy 💀)

This absolutely made my day, thank you so much for sending be this! In the event I ever did make them, here’s my own slight spin, based on your own designs! (Lydia WAS meant to be shorter, but ended up looking too tall 🥲)

more on beetlebabes discourse

I don't care what you think or your opinion about my ships. Ships are about FICTIONAL characters. What people ship says NOTHING about who they are offline. I'm not going to argue with anyone about this. I said what I said.

Y'know what I do care about? Evil, judgmental idiots telling people to kill themselves. Because, Lydia is a fictional character with mental health issues and real people with mental health issues relate to her.

You might actually push someone over the edge to kill themselves. Stop and think about that. You can use your keyboard to kill someone. You will actually have a real person's blood on your hands.

If I see people being stupid about beetlebabes, I will report you. See, I can report that I'm blocking you and you will be investigated. I encourage everyone else to do the same.

Betelgeuse:

Am I boring? HAH! Never.

Social skills? With you, always, babes. 😉

And I've been loyal since you summoned me and I'll never leave you because, well, I just won't. Like, ever. 36 years and countin', babydoll.

Check out what my sister just surprised me with!!

The Beetlebabes bouquet!! 💐🪲🕷️😆🙌🏻💕✨

@itsybitsybetel check it out, they had it in my area too 🥳🙌🏻

For the beetles and the babes:

I know there’s a popular consensus that Beetlejuice was only trying to marry Lydia to get out of the Afterlife in the movie, and I totally get it that that’s probably because people want to reconcile something as icky as a man trying to marry a minor. Totally get that.

But I don’t believe it lmao

Beetlejuice IS ick. He def had a thing for Lydia — he was def spying on her while she was in the attic, was leering over her when he was the giant snake and got anxious (horny) afterward and seemed to genuinely feel connected to her on some level in all that time. Beej wasn’t just marrying her for the “green card”. He clearly put thought and effort into this being the way he would get out and back into full power.

Again, I understand why people want to frame it in a less grotesque way. Personally, I just hate it when people piss on my leg but tell me it’s raining, so if you expect everyone else to agree with how you try to justify the ship, count me out.

And last but not least, the fourth fic for BJ that I’ve posted to AO3 so far, basically as a ‘but what did their first meeting look like’ for to cartoon canon. I love the cartoon a lot I’m not gonna lie :) it’s very silly but there’s some really cool episodes that are very dear to my heart.

I’ve even got a fic that will likely never see the light of day about the one where BJ is scattered across the Neitherworld by the bad guys, and Lydia’s gotta put him back together before the next morning or else he’ll turn to sludge forever. I basically just wanted to rewrite it but instead of it being written for a saturday morning cartoon slot, I write it like it could have been a feature-length film.

Anyways that’s not this fic, but that’s all just to say I hope the cartoon lovers out there find this fic and also enjoy it fdhsghfs <3 yippee

Anti beetlebabes posting in the beetlebabes tag be like:

[beetle-blogging]

On one hand, Lydia's co-existence shtick would have interfered with Betelgeuse's business and lost him clients whenever they came across each other at work, while Betel's hauntings might have been very good for Lydia's show.

However, that's assuming that he usually left enough living witnesses that could still call Lydia. And from what we've seen, that's not his usual M.O. He will let Breathers live if his potential clients absolutely insist on it and he's desperate to make a deal, but he finds it more efficient to just murder people, maybe leave one alive to frame them for those murders.

But there would have been Maitland-ish clients (and I like to think most newbie ghosts would still retain their morals) who insisted on him going low and slow on the haunting, and those cases had a higher chance of making Lydia show up. And Betelgeuse would have noticed that. It would have encouraged him to excercise some self-control.

And I don't know if word can spread between house ghosts - or maybe Betelgeuse did some advertising - but if ghosts got wise to the idea that hiring Betelgeuse for a loud-but-non-lethal haunting (which you need to specify) can get you that Nice Medium who can make Breathers listen, that would have been excellent for Betel's business. He'd have needed to start taking payment up-front because the more peaceful way wouldn't always be effective in either getting rid of the Breathers on the first go (but hey, his clients can always decide to make another deal) or getting the Medium that they actually want to help them, but he'd have made more deals than he had been because more people would have been willing to hire him.

you know you can call beetlebabes shippers 'disturbed' and other offensive ableist terms all you want but yall (antis) are the ones obsessively crossposting in our tags with ragebait on a regular fucking basis like you're desperately sending off signal flares to get our attention and also telling us to 'kys'/unalive ourselves in the case of one blog and another that threatened IRL violence against anyone perceived to be a shipper in theaters when the second film came out. Those of you doing this seem to be under the false impression that you're morally superior to us, but I promise you the moment you start threatening physical violence and telling people to unalive themselves bc of fictional characters you instantly secure yourself as a hateful if not obsessive POS and I am genuinely concerned about the safety of others around you. What other shallow prejudices deputize you to enact violence and wish death on people? Are you going to physically assault someone because they're eating a sandwich you don't personally like? OR is this just the 2024 version of early 00's edgelord nonsense? (one of the people I'm talking about also alleges to support Palestine like?? SINCE WHEN DO YOU CARE ABOUT THE WELFARE OF OTHERS??? God forbid a Palestinian person ships Beetlebabes, guess they can just succumb then) Like, we're over here writing fanfics and drawing fanart and making up headcanons and living our best lives and yall are stewing in your filth pits SO BIG MAD THAT PEOPLE DON'T THINK THE SAME WAY YOU DO!! THEY SHOULD DIE ABOUT IT!! And some of yall come in saying all kinds of hateful shit and then cry about getting 'dogpiled' and how mean the beetlebabes shippers are for trying to engage in (frankly imo v diplomatic given how yall act) dialogue with you, as if that's worse than your bros over here threatening physical violence and telling people 'kys' over a fictional fucking ship in intentionally crossposted tags to harass us. Like my god the weaponized tears, cry me a fucking river lol. ('That's victim blaming!!' Is it?? Is it victim blaming if you go into the cheese lovers convention, knowing full-well you don't like cheese, start talking about how cheese sucks and anyone who likes it is 'disturbed' and the con-goers try to start a dialogue with you about it and/or politely tell you to leave?? THAT'S being a victim?? Telling the cheese lovers to unalive themselves or get physically assaulted IRL is totally fine tho, acceptable behavior!)

Once again, we know people don't ship this and think it's gross, despite anyone commenting 'FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT' on your harassment post you are not the first person to say this, you are not going to change minds, censor your fucking tags bc no one cares but you and the other haters. Also, there is no justification for wishing harm on other people over differences in fictional storytelling preferences, you're just being a bad, hateful, violent person looking for an outlet that should consider some form of therapy before you end up in legal trouble from your edgelord threats and if you think I'm not serious then go ahead, fuck around and find out ig.

Like, just leave it and us alone, there is no reason to act like middle school mean girl bullies. Block it. Blacklist it. You literally don't have to see any of this shit, at this point yall are CHOOSING to because you're more obsessed with your hatred of it and getting the power microdose of harassing and threatening people than you are just enjoying what you do like and imo that's very tragic and should be more concerning to you than it apparently it is.

How do you feel about older Varian x Cassandra?

I feel like if you know anything about my shipping history, you will probably know the answer 😂
