#charles deetz headcanons

[acrylicqueen]

A couple months ago my girlfriend and I finished a document that explains the lore of what we've been calling our "Beetlejuice Canon" (essentially an altered version of Beetlejuice's universe that blends the cartoon and the musical in a unique way.) I haven't shared it anywhere until now, which is wild because I typically love sharing stuff like this.

It's not a fanfic or anything, but it goes fairly in-depth about characters, environments, relationships, etc. I figure there must be SOMEONE who likes reading this kind of stuff, right? So, here it is for those people.

[heart-aflame]

after ending up in the netherworld and escaping, Lydia didn't leave it without gaining the ability to see in the dark like a cat. If you shine a light on her eyes they have an eye shine. Ghosts also more noticeably glow interesting colors like an aura to her now.

Charles also has the same thing going on, but he's trying really hard to ignore it and act like it's not happening. Just because he no longer bumps into things at night, doesn't mean anything. He doesn't want to figure out what this could possibly mean.

[differentsublimephantom]

Here’s a Beetlejuice Beetlejuice fanfic/chatfic and headcannons I wrote because I was bored and the ghost characters need more recognition (minor spoilers for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice)

BEETLEJUICE CHATFIC AND CHARACTER HEADCANNONS

BeetleJuice BeetleJuice character headcannons! (Also don’t mind all the super smash bros headcannons, I was watching Blake jennings “what your main in smash says about you” while I made these):

Wolf Jackson the movie star:

◦ Has MAJOR former theatre kid vibes, like he totally had a Hamilton phase and watched Cats ATLEAST once just to make fun of it, but he ended up secretly kinda liking the songs from it.

◦ Wont admit to even HAVING a favourite superhero, but it’s totally Spider Noir

◦ Says he mains someone like Snake in smash, but he actually mains Isabelle, jigglepuff, or The duck hunt dog and he somehow wins EVERY TIME HE PLAYS SMASH because he’s good at spam pressing buttons.

◦ Good at claw machines for some reason. A strange hidden talent, but he probs brags about it every chance he gets (which isn’t often but still)

◦ Everyone thinks/assumes he’s straight and probs bangin his secretary/the girl who brings him coffee (idk if she’s actually his secretary) but then he’ll casually insert “my boyfriend” or “this guy I’m seeing” into a conversation and the whole room is shocked.

◦ Knuckle cracker.

◦ When he’s sad infront of other people he hides his emotions and says he’s fine, but when he’s sad at home alone, he curls up with a bunch of blankets and binge watches all the movies he stared in when he was alive. Only his secretary(?) knows this.

◦ Drinks coffee (obviously) but also likes iced teas. Can on rare occasions be seen wandering around with an Arizona Tea can in hand.

◦ Ocean from RTC vibes. Like he doesn’t really mean to be rude, but he also has a habit of thinking he’s better than most people around him.

◦ That same way that I walk into any store and when I wanna get something I tell myself “I can make that at home.” He watches ANY action movie (especially ones with cgi or heavy effects) and says/thinks “I could’ve done that MYSELF, WITHOUT special affects.”

Bob:

◦ Chronically tired

◦ Under-appreciated-employee-core. Wherever he works in the neitherworld would not FUNCTION without him, but no one who works with him would recognize this until he put in his two weeks notice.

◦ A pushover. I hate to say it, but this man DIED (double died ig?) for a ghost who didn’t deserve that amount of loyalty and Bob probably knows it. He knew Beetlejuice wasn’t worth sacrificing that much for but he did it anyways because he is a pushover.

◦ My general headcannon for all the “tiny head” people in the Beetlejuice franchise is that they can speak telepathically to people, but most either choose not to, or don’t know that they can do it. Bob chooses not to because whenever he does (on rare occasions) it freaks out everyone who’s ever known him and he finds it hilarious.

◦ Current theatre kid. Has all of Heathers memorized. Could sing most RTC songs and says “this is all your fault Jafar” and “youre FUCKIN useless Paul” in his head or under his breath EVERY DAY.

◦ Once played Smash with Wolf Jackson and absolutely HATED the fact that Wolf won every time without really trying. But also Bob mains wii fit trainer, toon link or Kirby because I said so.

◦ Coffee drinker, but also gives off “DO NOT FILL UP A “SUPER BIG GULP” CUP WITH 5-HOUR ENERGY AND CHUG THE WHOLE THING” vibes. He is WIRED.

Harry the hunter:

◦ Bobs uncle who died at around the same age as Bob so that’s why they look the same age/look like the same person.

◦ BESTIES with Ms Argentina

◦ Likes Delores because he hates Beetlejuice and wishes she successfully killed him, but also dislikes her because she killed Bob

◦ Bob is chronically tired but gets a good nights sleep most nights. Harry is an insomniac night owl who stays up until 1:00 in the morning rewatching Over the garden wall or Wall E for the 1000th time even though he KNOWS has to get up at 5:00am that morning.

◦ Only drinks tea or water.

◦ Mostly uses ASL or writing on notepads to communicate (same with Bob)

◦ Bob is the type of employee to work more than he should and do extra stuff and overtime etc. because he thinks people will like him more or atleast he’ll get some benefit from it right? Harry is the employee who knows you should just do your job and leave because no one will care if you do more than that so don’t waste your time.

◦ Just like Bob, he is a theatre kid. And he totally got Ms Argentina into musicals too.

◦

Ms Argentina:

◦ a HARDCORE SIMP for Delores. Like “she could suck my soul out of my body and in my last moments I’d THANK HER” kinda simp (same tho)

◦ WILL THROW HER HEELS AT YOU IF YOU PISS HER OFF (Bob, Wolf Jackson, Beetlejuice, AND EVEN Delores ALL learned this the hard way.)

◦ Mains Daisy in smash because they both have Loud-Lesbian energy

◦ Her nickname is Tina and her real name is Valentina, but ONLY Harry and Delores can call her Tina or her real full first name.

◦ SOMEHOW managed to get Delores to go on a date with her, and now they’re dating. Beetlejuice still has no idea how Tina pulled that off.

◦ Tina gives me tea or coffee drinker vibes, but part of me thinks she sometimes puts vodka in her tea and/or coffee

◦ Because Harry got her to like musicals, she totally got her girlfriend into musicals too

I’ll probably make a chatfic based on the musical and cartoon, but this one is based on the movies

Astrid has created a groupchat

Astrid has added: Lydia Deetz, Richard Deetz, Charles Deetz, and Delia Deetz

Astrid has named the groupchat “💜the Deetz family💜”

Astrid: hi! For those who are bad with tech *cough cough, grandpa* this is a groupchat, “gc” for short. It’s like texting but with multiple people in one text conversation.

Charles Deetz: Thanks kiddo, I was confused!

Richard Deetz: hey! This seems fun!

Lydia Deetz: OMG RICHARD?!

Richard Deetz: Hello Lyds!

Delia Deetz: omg Richard! Hi!

Charles Deetz: hello!

Richard Deetz: hi everyone!

~in a different groupchat~

“Work only” groupchat

Richard: my daughter just added me to a family groupchat 🥰

Bob: nice.

Argentina: omg fun!! My family is still alive.

Bob: So is his, Argentina?

Argentina: oh. OH. How the hell does that work?

Richard: I’ve learned not to question things like that a looooooooooooooooooooong time ago.

Argentina: that’s fair.

Wolf: my family has been hiding from me 😅

Harry: why?

Wolf: because ~~🏳️‍🌈~~

Harry: ah. SERIOUSLY?

Wolf: yeah. They only found out last thanksgiving tho. I was at my Mothers house (she is dead, to clarify) and I mentioned I was seeing a guy, and they DID NOT LIKE THAT LET ME TELL YA

Harry: OMFG XD RELATABLE

Harry: Bob is the only family member of mine I know who will talk to me

Bob: to be fair, only about half of our family is actually DEAD?

Harry: yeah. But if Astrid can add her dad to a family gc then don’t you think they might just not be *trying*?

Bob: that’s fair.

Richard: ANYWAYS, I was thinking maybe I should make a gc with you guys AND my family in it so you guys can be introduced to each other!

Argentina: sure!

Wolf: okay.

Bob: 👍

Harry: 👍

Richard: yay! Okay brb

Richard Deetz has made a groupchat

Richard Deetz had added: Astrid Deetz, Lydia Deetz, Charles Deetz, Delia Deetz, Ms Argentina, Wolf Jackson, Bob, and Harry

Richard Deetz has named the groupchat “friends and family”

Harry: I love how apparently me and Bob are just “Harry” and “Bob” and everyone else has some form of last name XD

Bob: omg yeah, I didn’t even notice that! Rude.

Richard: well to be fair, you never told me your last name(s?)

Harry: and I still won’t. It’s still funny tho

Richard: 🙄 alr

Astrid: Dad?! Who are these people?

Richard: my coworkers! Thought I’d introduce you guys

Harry: just “coworkers”? Ouch Rich

Richard: oh hush 😑

Harry: 🤭 k

Astrid: cooooool. Hey.

Bob: hey.

Astrid: OMG @Delia @Lydia @Charles, I forgot to mention I auditioned for my school musical lmao

Lydia: WHAT! And you didn’t tell me? Thats awesome!

Delia: Omg wow!!! You’ll be amazing!

Charles: nice kiddo!

Harry: OMG WHAT MUSICAL IS IT?

Astrid: HAHAHAHA I was NOT expecting that reaction from @Harry

Argentina: he looks very intimidating irl but he’s the biggest FREAKIN NERD YOULL EVER MEET I PROMISE-

Harry: RUDE! But Fr- what musical?

Astrid: Heathers.

Harry: AT A HIGHSCHOOL? Damn

Astrid: THATS WHAT I THOUGHT! But I auditioned anyways for fun.

Harry: so did the cast list come out yet?

Astrid: yeah! I’m gonna be Veronica!!!!!!!

Harry: OMG AWESOME!! I would love to play JD, but I died before even the MOVIE was made, so I’ll never get the chance sadly.

Astrid: DAMN, that’s tough.

Argentina: WOMP WOMP

Astrid: HHAHAHAHAHAHHA WOMP WOMP

Harry: >:O

Lydia: You got a part!!! That’s amazing! When’s opening night???

Richard: yeah! You might not see me in the audience, but I’ll be there!!!

Astrid: it’s in October but rehearsal hasn’t even started yet, I’ll let you know when I know!

Delia: let me know too!

Harry: no offence Delia, but have you SEEN Heathers?? I feel like if ghosts can be unconscious, it would send you into a COMA. With Dead Girl Walking ALONE

Astrid: DEAD GIRL WALKING? She’d be out before Big Fun ends XD

Harry: fair point!

Charles: I know that what you two are typing is technically words, but I understand NONE OF THEM

Harry: that’s also fair XD Poor Charles

Wolf Jackson: I know what the words mean! And your right, Delia would be sent into a coma by that show. Movie OR musical

Argentina: one word: Blue.

Wolf: OMFG I FORGOT ABOUT THAT SONG

Harry: “FORGOT”? I PURPOSEFULLY BLOCK THAT SONG OUT OF MY MEMORY MAN

Richard: oh god what have I started with creating this gc

Lydia: clearly this is a Pandora’s box of chaos you’ve created and opened, Rich

Richard: yeah…….whoops…

~hours later~

Astrid: weird question but raise a digital hand if your 🏳️‍🌈 (no pressure to answer I just want info for a project)

Harry: me!!

Bob: does bi count?

Astrid: yes it does

Bob: cool

Wolf: *slowly raises hand*

Astrid: FR? No offence but I would NOT have guessed that

Wolf: no one ever does 🤫

Argentina: OO OO OO ME!!!

Argentina: wait- can I add my girlfriend to the gc?

Astrid: YESS DO IT

Argentina: okay!!!

Argentina added Delores to the groupchat

Wolf: WAIT YOUR GIRLFRIEND IS DELORES??? THE SOULSUCKER?!

Argentina: yeahhhh 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Delores: hello…? What’s this?

Astrid: a groupchat!

Delores: I’m not sure what that is, but alright?

Bob: ………. Argentina why would you do this to me.

Argentina: OMFG I FORGOT BOB IM SO SORRY

Astrid: wait what? What happened? And what’s a “soulsucker”?

Delores: basically a ghost that can kill other ghosts. And that’s what I am

Astrid: but wouldn’t that not work because they’re already DEAD?

Delores: nope.

Bob: Astrid, you learn not to question stuff like this after a while of being dead or knowing someone in the neitherworld. Nothing makes sense here. (Also Delores almost killed me)

Argentina: yet another reason to NOT KILL YOURSELF 😃

Astrid: noted! Wasn’t planning on it, but good motivation! 😃😃

Wolf: god you people are insane.

Delia: agreed.

Lydia: you both say “you people” like you aren’t a part of this family/friend group. Bad news: YOU ARE PART OF THE “YOU PEOPLE”

Delores: I think I’ll like you people a lot.

Lydia: you tried to kill 🪲🧃 so I definitely like you girl.

Delores: 🥰omg you you want his moldy ass double dead too?!

Lydia: he tried to marry me AT 16 YEARS OLD so yeah definitely

Delores: I’m from an era where thats pretty normal, but I’m gonna assume that’s not normal and bad in the future??

Lydia: yeah it’s bad and gross. Also the year is currently 2024 btw

Delores: thank you! Damn I was in those boxes for a long time wasn’t I?

Argentina: yes you were

Wolf: and you were TECHNICALLY supposed to STAY THERE

Delores: my girlfriend has advised me to reply to that with “womp womp”? I’m not sure what that mean but I hope it has its intended affect.

Bob: WOLF JUST KICKED HIS TRASHCAN SO HARD IT MADE A DENT IN THE WALL HOLY SHIT

Bob: update: I have just read the previous texts. Yes Delores it DID have its intended affect! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Delores: oh good!!! 😀

Wolf: NO! NOT GOOD. I don’t like you! Mean lesbian!!!!

Astrid: “MEAN LESBIAN” OMG 😆

Richard: what is HAPPENING RIGHT NOW?

Richard: omg I jus read the last few texts, that is pretty funny Wolf

Lydia: 😮 🤭 yeah I’m with Rich on this one, that’s pretty funny honestly

Wolf: I hate you all /ns

Beetlejuice headcanon/mini fic that just popped into my head. I’ve heard some criticism that The Ghost with the Most leaves for the Netherworld at the end of the show, even after he’s made amends with everyone and even when Juno is no longer an issue. Now I love a good found family trope as much as the next person (my AO3 history will agree lol) but what if he went into the Netherworld to find Lydia’s mother?

As a disclaimer, I’ve never seen the Tim Burton film or any of the cartoon or comics, so idk if it’s elaborated somewhere else. But if Juno is gone and therefore the regulations lifted from the entryways, what’s to stop ghosts from leaving the Netherworld?

So some amount of months to years pass and Lydia and the Deetzlands have all adjusted to their strange and unusual family dynamic. Lydia enters the living room, maybe on the way to the kitchen for a homework snack, and stops in her tracks, notebooks and pens clattering to the floor as she registers two familiar figures standing in the middle of the room. BJ launches into some monologue about how arduous it was searching through the vastness of the Netherworld and how many Sandworms he had to fend off in order to bring Emily back to the portal and that Miss Argentina sends her regards, but Lydia can’t bring herself to make a sound, her eyes still stuck on the translucent, but intensely familiar form of her mother. Eventually another grownup (my brain imagines Charles, bc obvi) enters the room to investigate the sound of things being dropped and respond in a similar manner to Lydia, attention captured by the sudden reappearance of Beetlejuice and his new ghostly companion.

Lydia eventually managed to break the silence with a shaky and disbelieving “…Mom?”

Emily smiles in response, her arms opening in an invitation. Her touch is now cool, like mist, and she doesn’t smell the same anymore due to her status of deceased, but Lydia is simply glad that she doesn’t phase through her like she feared she would.

Sometime during his journeys in the Netherworld, Beetlejuice has learned the power and value of silence, settling to lean back against the banister of the stairs with the other assembled adults, content to let this reunion play out without him. Eventually, he finds himself being dragged forward into a hug by a joyfully tearful Lydia, her dark eyeliner now running down her face.

“Welcome home,” are the only words she can say.

A/N: maybe one day I’ll expand on this more and write an actual fic, but, for now, this is the best I’ve got

Also, barring the whole green card thing, Lydia and BJ are strictly friends/chaotic family here

[myst1xx]

on a headcanon rampage rn … thinkin of my beetlejuice headcanons *throws them at u really hard*

lydia: they/she/neos nonbinary aroace lesbian ! is autistic and their special interest is photography & the supernatural :3

beej: any pronouns genderfluid pansexual ! is also autistic. changes his appearance from more masc presenting to fem presenting whenever they feel like it

barbara: she/her transfem bisexual !!! has adhd and switches from interest to interest very fast

adam: he/him transmasc bisexual !!! they match!! because guess what he ALSO has adhd. AND AUTISM!!!!!! has a lot of sensory issues with clothing and fabrics so barb makes a lot of clothing for him/alters it so he can wear it :) it makes him love his clothes even more knowing that theyre made from love!!!

delia: she/they demigirl pansexual. guess who also has adhd. this gal !!! she had always been very fluid with her sexuality and gender but never labeled herself until lydia introduced her to more of them

charles: he/him cishet. sorry charles you’re the token straight boy of the group but its okay hes very supportive and takes time to educate himself like a true ally

[quenga-do-nordeste]

It's still Charles, just a few good years younger during the battle on three fronts (fictional war).

That bleached part of his hair is naturally white.

[barrygeuse]

maitland-deetz household on a snow day!

it's blizzarding where i live today and i just had to get this out of my brain. based on the musical canon, as usual <3

charles:

is up at the ass crack of dawn. this is unrelated to the snowstorm, he's just the first person to get up in the house. he gets up before the sun rises and stays up so late and no one knows why

anyways, he gets to see the calm before the storm (literally) if it hasn't started snowing overnight

usually he is always dressed up, but on days with inclement weather, he stays in his pajamas. i'm talkin' navy blue silk matching two piece pajamas with his name embroidered in white above the chest pocket

while waiting for barbara to wake up he brews coffee and gets hers ready. does the wordle. charles is a wordle fanatic. he and adam have a groupchat where they just send their daily wordle results. charles is really good at it! adam not so much

has a snowblower that breaks so frequently that it's a winter staple to see him and adam in the garage trying to fix the stupid snowblower. they probably spend more time working on it than actually using it

lydia's like, "guys. just buy a new snowblower." and adam insists he can make it work again so she just says whatever and leaves

does a little bit of everything. some reading, makes some tea, dusts the shelves in the bedroom, tries to fix the sink so it stops dripping. being stuck inside makes him restless

delia:

snow is not her thing. she always complains the entire day before the storm about how she's achy and she knows there's bad weather ahead

much like charles, she stays in her pajamas. in fact they have matching pajamas. hers are purple, though, and they say her name on the opposite side

it was a sweet gesture (his idea) and she loves them. lydia pretends to gag when she sees them together

her hair is a wreck. she does not bother to attempt to fix it. really snowy days for delia are a day of pre-accepted dread and she is going to maximize her comfort god damn it

the second last to get up, besides beej, who basically doesn't count because he spends a lot of time sleeping (like a very lazy cat)

has a cup of tea and joins everyone for breakfast. makes conversation. everyone is happy when delia joins because she does most of the talking if they're still waking up

spends a lot of time lounging on the furniture or maybe taking a very long bath with candles and crystals and the like. in the total darkness

it does help to soothe her joints and stuff! she always feels a lot better after a hot bath so sometimes charles tries to coax her to take one (admittedly it does not take much coaxing at all. it's more like a suggestion)

adam:

gets up around the same time that lydia does (usually before her by five or ten minutes) and goes downstairs to help finish up breakfast

also stays in pajamas. plaid pants and a plain tee shirt. has house slippers and his reading glasses on

reads the paper at the kitchen table. likes to keep up on the news. unfortunately they probably didn't get a new paper due to the snow, so he rereads old ones

does the wordle (with commentary aloud to charles about how he can't imagine what the word could be while charles tries to give vague hints but they're way too vague or straight out misleading)

makes hot cocoa for everyone in the evening when it gets dark. the real good kind, by whisking actual melted chocolate into heated milk

takes some time to work on his little projects up in the attic, like whittling or model work. he tends to focus more on house-related projects when it isn't a day he can 'relax'

makes dinner for everyone, too. something warm and comfortable and homemade that leaves everyone feeling full and happy. beams whenever someone compliments whatever it is on their first bite. he knows it's good, but to hear it makes him happy

barbara:

she's the second to wake up and immediately goes down to the kitchen to help charles with breakfast. they usually make it together for everyone

he's got her coffee ready for her when she gets downstairs, right on the counter and in her favorite mug

unlike pretty much everyone else, she gets properly dressed. she layers well to stay warm, but could go outside and not be seen as wearing pajamas

loves the snow. is happy to see it, even when it's dangerous conditions outside (plus it means the whole family will be together for a while!)

it makes her and adam extra cold, though, which she doesn't enjoy, especially when they're trying to rest together or if the family watches a movie, because whoever sits by them has to deal with it

always wants to make a snowman if it's nice enough

forces everyone to dress for the weather if they're going outside. boots, long underwear, hat, scarf, gloves. they complain but they'll thank her for it later

spends a lot of the day reading in the living room by the fire

lydia:

gets out of bed when she hears adam go down the stairs. he knocks on her door to let her know that he’s up and that breakfast will be ready in five or ten

changes out of pajamas but into comfy clothes. so essentially daytime pajamas

doesn't drink coffee but knows that adam will make hot chocolate later and looks so forward to it

when bj gets up she nags him to go outside with her. barbara always frets a little bit and worries she'll get frostbite so makes them both bundle up really good before going outside and will not let them if it's snowing too hard or really windy

adam joins them sometimes. on a nice day where it's sunny and there's not a lot of actual precipitation the whole family (well, save for delia) will go outside and have snowball fights. lydia and bj vs charles, adam, and barb

barbara is SCARY competitive when it comes to stuff like this. she's really nimble and great at dodging. charles is really good at throwing and adam is good at hiding. they are both bad at not getting hit.

lydia is also great at dodging and decent at throwing, and beej just goes to town throwing as many snowballs as he can with as many arms as he can possibly generate. he looks like a cartoon with his arms spinning that fast. it's almost as scary as barbara

it really comes down to barb vs lydia and bj if we're being honest. sometimes adam will "sacrifice" himself by jumping in front of her to catch a hit and it makes her laugh so much

bj:

sleeps in to the afternoon. this is no different than any other day

entertains himself by changing the embroidery on delia and charles' pajamas to say different things and then see how long it takes for someone to notice

lights the fireplace when he gets up because no one else has bothered to

is pleased when barbara offhandedly thanks him for it. he's still not used to praise for the little things like that

think of calvin and hobbes making snow goons. that's him and lydia so very much. they create the most dastardly snow abominations together and have so much fun doing so

showing them to barbara who's like, "those are so terrifying!" forced smile because she is unsure how she's supposed to react

this seems to satisfy them and she is relieved.

eats snow. so much snow. didn't see a lot of it in the netherworld (maybe none at all) and he has no idea why he isn't supposed to just put it in his mouth and eat it.

has the common sense to not eat yellow snow but doesn't care if there's dirt or mud on it.

sometimes the snowballs he throws have bites taken out of them. adam always cringes to imagine sinking his teeth into snow

Hear me out, Beetlejuice fans!!

I'm relatively new to Tumblr, it's the first time I've posted something like this and English is not my main language, any mistake is by the translator.

Beetlejuice The Musical Headcanons

If there's one thing I noticed about the Broadway musical, it's that Juno created the guide work exclusively for Beetlejuice.

Just think about it, there are no more "Guides" except Beetlejuice, besides, why would you want to use a guide in the first place? Absolutely all the information a dead person needs comes in the "Recently Deceased" manual. Juno just wanted to get rid of her son, and gave him a completely made-up job, which would keep him busy and away from her. In addition to the fact that Beetlejuice is literally a demon, just like his mother or perhaps he is a hybrid between a deceased person and a demon.

Maybe that's also why Beetlejuice feels so lonely because being half-human and half-Demon, he's still tied to human biology and his need to make friends.

It is very likely that Beetlejuice is also tied to the Deetz-Maitland house, since he was murdered there, so I see very possible that he will be able to return.

I have an idea of what may have happened to his mother the day he left home. Maybe Beetlejuice heard from someone that BFFFFs are people who love each other, support each other, and are lifelong companions. Perhaps, Beetlejuice, in search of his next friends, left home with that goal in mind. Maybe that's why his mother, when she goes to pick him up at the Deetz-Maitland house, teases him by saying that he was looking for someone to love him.

Also, I have another theory:

When Beetlejuice says:

"I'm gonna have a new best friend!!"

This implies that he has had other friends and that Lydia will be another new best friend and when he says:

"Why does everyone keep leaving me!!"

He shows that he has had "friends" in the past and all those he once loved abandoned him or that there have been more people who have left him. Most likely, those "friends" were recently deceased who got scared and abandoned him.

Beetlejuice's connection to Lydia is much deeper than I thought.

It is impossible that Lydia was the only one who could see Beetlejuice in all the centuries of his existence, it is very likely that many more "strange and unusual" people have come across him, but decided to ignore him or pretend that he does not exist because obviously something wasn't right with him. But since Lydia was the only one who wanted to talk directly to him, she makes her more special, because she doesn't run away from him and even the two look too much alike. Remember Barbara's line in the song, "Fright of Their Lives"?

-We're not like you...

-I know that BARBARA!! No one is like me... That's the problem!

But I want to point out that Lydia is just like him... (not so disturbed)

But it turns out that Lydia is not only like him, but their situations are very similar and I dare say they're the same.

Beetlejuice had good reason to ONLY want Lydia to marry him... Because he didn't even want to talk to Delia, because she's the only one of marriageable age and the most eligible... I don't think Beetlejuice would have cared about her engagement to Charles.

Beetlejuice was so desperate that he would have taken any opportunity that came his way, but he still insisted that Lydia be his wife before anyone else. I think Beetlejuice saw that the marriage to Lydia would be to get that green card, but I honestly don't think it was for such superficial reasons... Had he had, he would have considered Delia but even he felt a much MUCH deeper attachment to Lydia, for she was his first time in everything that he did that night.

She's the only human connection he's ever had in his entire existence. I can understand why he wanted her as his wife... Well, while it is true that their time together was brief (very brief), it was a night full of emotions and feelings (like a roller coaster) but maybe it's been the only night he's ever felt alive. The idea of sharing a song full of mischief that would scare anyone, next to the only person who can see you (literally and metaphorically) must have been wonderful.

They both shared happiness, adrenaline and fun with the power of their voices.

She is and was his only friend and perhaps the only one who really understood him... It is very likely that he has considered living a wonderful life with his BFFFF as his wife for his entire life and I find it very beautiful that Lydia was the first and only option to marry and live.

Here I'm going to give a couple of facts about Beetlebabes. Now, antis, leave this post, please.

Don't you think we've already seen a lot of MANY couples similar to Beetlejuice and Lydia??

Without going any further, let's look at the work of Tim Burton

The dead one and the breather one:

(Technically, The Corpse Bride and Beetlejuice have almost the same plot, a dead person wants to marry a living person and the marriage represents the climax of the story.)

Emily x Víctor

The Freak and the Dying Beauty Girl:

Barnabas x Victoria

Another freak and the beauty girl

Edward x Kim

Alice x Tarrant

And looking to other directors and productions

The Dead Boy and the Living Girl:

Casper x Kat

The Ghost and the Talented Girl:

Erik x Christine

The Beauty and The Monster

Zatz x Maya

Belle x Beast (Adam)

Thomas x Edith

Jareth x Sarah

Technically... Cinema and the director of Beetlejuice himself have accustomed us to shipping this type of couples. So don't feel guilty about shipping them, maybe it would be better to pair them if Lydia is of legal age.

I think it's kind of funny that they included Lolita's joke... The plot is about a sick man who ruined his life by becoming obsessed with an underage girl.

And here I'm going to pause to include a song from my country that fits this couple.

I'm actually Latina and I want to remind my language brothers that there's a Gloria Trevi song that fits very well with Lydia and Beetlejuice.

Here I will leave the translation of the song from Spanish to English.

Since she is no longer here

He does not rest in peace

His soul cries, he is not satisfied with his loneliness

Since she is no longer here

He began to wander

His penitent soul without the option of death for eternity

They met in a cold December, three years ago

He wanted to scare her through the window

She scared him when she smiled at him

He looked into her eyes and fell deep into her heart.

She is a crazy, lost crazy

He adores her wounded soul

And they loved each other, dancing out of time the psychophonies that he sang in the wind

She is a crazy, lost crazy

He appears in fire and polychrome

The ghosth and the insane girl want married

Her father doesn't want to accept it.

But a curse binds him in the mansion

That's why he sings, sings and the wind carries away his lamentation

If you pay attention

You will hear his voice

And surely she there in her white cell

She dances psychophonies of love

She is a crazy, lost crazy

He adores her wounded soul

And they loved each other, dancing out of time the psychophonies that he sang in the wind

She is a crazy, lost crazy

He appears in fire and polychrome

The ghosth and the insane girl want married

Her father doesn't want to accept it.

She is a crazy, lost crazy

He adores her, she never forgets him

Well he surrounds her with psychophonies

The dead talk to us, but some of them love us...

This song is like an AU, if Charles had never believed Lydia that ghosts really exist, and he sent her to a mental sanatorium that she never came out of, because she wasn't really crazy. It scares me how much the song fits in with the plot of the musical.

Dios mío... Me asusta lo mucho que se parecen las tramas de la canción y del musical... Claro que con un final terrible....

For now that's all, thanks for taking the time to read me! Bye! 💕😘

Ok, now's time for Beej and Lydia headcanons, the people are wondering (I'm the people)

the people shall be appeased!!

lydia looks JUST like her mom. like, practically a clone. it unsettles her dad a lot after her mom dies.

beej started the Black Death back in the 14th century (by accident). and the spanish flu. and covid (lydia still hasn’t let him live that down).

lyds has two pet rats named muerte and pascualito (in reference to the latine-catholic saints). delia does not like them, but charles has a soft spot for them after they start wanting to cuddle with him.

beej moves into the guest room across from lydia’s room, but sometimes sleeps in the attic with the maitlands when she’s feeling particularly touch-starved.

lydia introduces bj to her friends as her older sibling, because when he’s all cleaned up, bj looks vaguely related to her.

lydia is a cis lesbian (she/they) and beej is genderfluid + pansexual (all pronouns).

everyone has a different name they use for beetlejuice: lydia calls them bj, the maitlands call them beej, delia calls them lawrence, and charles still says “mr. juice.” beej thinks this is hilarious.

beej puts hot sauce on everything. this deeply disturbs adam.

lydia plays double bass in her school orchestra.

babs + adam help lydia convert part of the basement into a darkroom for her camera. lyds spends a lot of time in there when she’s not developing photos because she “likes the aesthetic.” she wants to be a mortuary photographer one day.

beej is fascinated by the concept of the mall and takes lydia there all the time to eat in the food court and gawk at hot topic.

they both love karaoke, but beej is terrible at it and lydia’s amazing.

lyds does an internship at the local funeral home (the same one that did the maitlands’ funeral) despite bj’s protests that she knew plenty about death already from the ghosts and demon living in her house.

beej is a sucker for pringles. there’s something about the can that just entrances him.

thanks to them, april fool’s day is hell for everyone else in that house. barbara sometimes manages to get beej back (she’d never dream of pranking lydia, though).

bj gets really into human holidays and makes the deetzes go all out on decorations and celebrations on every. single. one. including flag day.

lydia goes to barbara and adam’s grave every day after school to clean it and relax in the peace and quiet. she brings flowers once a week.

beej doesn’t remember their birthday, so lydia celebrates the day they met as beej’s birthday.

this list is once again getting very long, so I’ll end things here for now.

List of Jewish Characters for the Panfandom Hanukkah Bingo

I've gotten a few requests for a list of Jewish characters to help people brainstorm for the bingo -- just as a reminder, Jewish headcanons and fanons are totally allowed for the event, so if you don't KNOW whether your character is Jewish, it's totally fine to make them Jewish for your fanwork! :)

Ok here's some random Maitland headcanons cuz I'm anxious and sad as hell o.o

- Adam was definitely the kind of wholesome cheesy guy to bring Barbara flowers every week. Of course, this stops when they die. When the Deetzes hear of this, Delia and Charles make sure to bring home flowers each week and "sneak" them to Adam for him to give to Barbara. Barbara is delighted. And she always pretends to be surprised by how he managed to get flowers when they can't leave. She knows the answer. But she loves the look of pure adoration and pride in Adam's eyes.

- Any redecorating of the house must be preluded by a family meeting and advance details of the changes to take place. The Maitlands both get very anxious and irritable during changes like this. And even with consent and the most preparation, odd things are bound to happen during renovations. Delia has learned to lock up her valuables and put away breakables during those times.

- Barbara is very mothery and protective over Lydia. Of course. But every year on the anniversary of her miscarriage she gets just a bit clingier and needyer. The first year, Lydia is annoyed by the hovering and attention and snaps at her. After a long, deep, and difficult family meeting, the Deetzes learn the couple's difficult past. Lydia then decides to turn the week into a kind of Mother's day/week part 2. So she plans activities and such to do with Barbara during this time, and finds things to keep her busy when Lydia needs time to herself. Adams favorite distraction is making a pillow/fort nest in the attic with their favorite old movies.
