We really had a golden age of cartoon goth girls in the early 2000's which is why now should be the era of the goth milfs™

I've seen this show 10 times now, and I don't know why it took me this long to think about what a solid relationship Charles and Adam would have post-musical.

They're as different as you can get, but I can see them having a pretty easy-going friendship. They'll have a drink together, sit back and just talk and hang out.

Just Dads being Dads.

Betelgeuse has a bone to pick with his child bride after his vacation through the digestive system of a Sandworm. When he finds her, she's not the little girl he duped into making a deal with him all those years ago. No, sir. Lydia Deetz is all grown up and knows exactly how to handle the nuisance who, erroneously, thinks is in charge.

Can I have some voice descriptions/refs for them all, before and after? Like does Tammy just talk in word balloons, does Charlie's voice sound sillier? Stuff like that

First off, let me just say, if any of you want to dub my comics, go right ahead. You have my full permission.

Here are my unfinished notes from when I was headcanoning their voices.

Paul's voice got feminized. I don't have any specific examples of what she should sound like besides Californian woman in her late 20s-early 30s.

Tammy has what I call an "electric/digital cadence" to her voice as if she's speaking through a phone or video chat or something. I picture her sounding like Pomni from 'The Amazing Digital Circus'.

Jen sounds just as she did when she was human. Female, early 20s. Sometimes, I picture her sounding like Helga from 'Hey Arnold' or Veronica Sawyer from 'Heathers', and other times picture her sounding more like Spinel from 'Steven Universe'.

Melissa is a French-Canadian woman in her late 20s. Her toy brain has her involuntarily speaking like a toddler, a curse that will worsen after her pull-string is repaired. Her inner monolog/thoughts are, of course, spoken in her normal adult voice.

Maria, I picture as sounding like Lydia Deetz from 'Beetlejuice'. Film, animated series, Broadway musical, doesn't matter which adaptation. That's just what she sounds like. She's Hispanic-American.

We need to have a conversation about how Beetlejuice and Lydia are literally “coded” to be a couple.

When examining the movie Beetlejuice (1988) and its various adaptations, including the Broadway musical and the animated series, certain clues can be detected suggesting a potential romantic or emotional connection between the characters of Beetlejuice and Lydia Deetz. This type of relationship is often referred to me as “ship coded”, but what does it mean? It means that the characters are designed and/or marketed in a way that makes their romantic involvement plausible or hinted at, even though it's not explicitly expressed in the plot.

The animated series and promotional materials played a significant role in shaping this perception. The wedding scene, which was the most marketable, generated a lot of “shipping” material. It is undeniable that they complement each other well. However, the animated series was also ambiguous about their relationship, leading to unnecessary arguments about their status Although I agree that it is strange and immoral/illegal for a 14-year-old to be romantically paired with an adult man. The movie and current musical version do not have much romantic content, but the chemistry between the two is undeniable, whether it's platonic or romantic.

What I mean by this is: you can see both of them as siblings with chaotic energy, you might think of him as a crazy uncle who takes his goth niece on various chaotic adventures, you can see them as a couple, the possibilities are endless... So let's strive to be normal, civilized individuals within the fandom and create a space where we can peacefully coexist without turning it into a ship war.

If it does turn out Jenna Ortega is playing the daughter of Winona Ryder (Winona was 31 when Jenna was born...how did I think the age difference between them was greater than this plausible mother-daughter one), a thought even I did not have as I would have thought it too obvious a role --

I am going to have it in my head that Beetlejuice is the baby daddy regardless of anything canon ever says. (That is Charles Deetz's funeral they are at, and I choose to doubt the guy next to Lydia Deetz was the sperm donor.) Like technically the identity is not essential; and if absolutely necessary I would prefer it to be open-ended over any alternatives. But the absolute chaos that would unleash if that were the case is too great to resist for me. Though that I have shipped them my whole life is probably testimony to my having grown up first with the animated series as a nineties child. Before later in life watching the film realising Beetlejuice tried to pull a Count Olaf to Lydia's Violet Baudelaire in engineering their own 'marvellous marriage'. I still stand by it though wherein they are both adults.

(Also while the name "Astrid" has a different etymology, it reminds me of the Greek word for "star", which of course Betelgeuse is in the constellation of Orion. Seems significant in a franchise that puts even repeated emphasis on names. But I tend to think a lot on character names.)

#I have not been so revived into a Tim Burton ship since they cast Timothée Chalamet as the son of Kim Boggs and Edward Scissorhands #adopting that commercial as canon without all the commercial elements #he goes on to father that granddaughter in the ES film #it was a whole thing #the As in Astrid gives her status of a god #fitting for being her father's daughter #Beetlejuice x Lydia Deetz #Beetlejuice x Lydia

[drklushka]

Beetlejuice: *pretending to joke* So when are you going to go out with me?

Lydia: I don't know. When are you going to ask me to?

*A bit later*

Jacques: And you just ran away?!

Beetlejuice: I didn't expect her to flirt back!

So . . . I was sent these.

A couple of you know I used to have a Beetlejuice x Lydia blog. Used to be into the fandom big time, since the movie first opened in 1988. Then, for reasons I won't get into, I lost interest in all things Beej.

But some people still read my Beej fics on AO3. And one of them sent me these photos from Beetlejuice 2. They also sent me the link to the article they appeared in.

So for you few Beetlebabes who still Follow me -- you know who you are -- here's the article.

“Beetlejuice Beetlejuice”... Beetlejuice returns in first look at Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder

Nick Romano

Wed, March 20, 2024 at 9:00 AM CDT

It's been 36 years, but once again, the juice is loose.

After reprising Batman in last year's The Flash, Michael Keaton returns to another iconic role in Entertainment Weekly's exclusive first look at Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the sequel to director Tim Burton's cult hit.

Winona Ryder and Catherine O'Hara also reprise their roles as Lydia and Delia Deetz, respectively, while Burton's Wednesday star Jenna Ortega plays Lydia's daughter Astrid, and The Leftovers star Justin Theroux plays Rory. Further details on Rory remain under wraps for now — unlike the titular "bio-exorcist."

The original Beetlejuice (1988) followed the recently deceased Barbara and Adam Maitland (Geena Davis, Alec Baldwin), who enlist the aid of the mischievous demon Beetlejuice/Betelgeuse (Keaton), to expel the current living residents of their home, the Deetz family. All hell, subsequently, breaks loose.

The sequel picks up decades later with a death in the family. "That's all I will say," Burton tells EW in an interview. "There's something that happens that sets things in motion." Could that be the death of Lydia's father, Charles Deetz (Jeffrey Jones)? The director plays coy: "We'll see." One thing's for sure, Beetlejuice comes back into play.

Burton describes getting Keaton back in the classic costume and makeup as "a weird out-of-body experience."

"He just got back into it," the filmmaker behind 1989's Batman (also starring Keaton) and 1993's The Nightmare Before Christmas recalls. "It was kind of scary for somebody who was maybe not that overly interested in doing it. It was such a beautiful thing for me to see all the cast, but he, sort of like demon possession, just went right back into it."

Burton says he and Keaton have talked about a sequel on and off over the years. "Unless it felt right, he had no burning desire to do it," the director recalls. "I think we all felt the same way. It only made sense if it had an emotional hook."

Many concepts were floated around, some dating all the way back to the '80s, including a treatment set in Hawaii. "We talked about lots of different things," Burton says. "That was early on when we were going, Beetlejuice and the Haunted Mansion, Beetlejuice Goes West, whatever. Lots of things came up."

What they needed, however, was time. His actors, including Ryder and O'Hara, had all moved on to other projects after the original came out, and "nobody," Burton notes, "was really pushing for it." The filmmaker also admits he didn't initially (and still doesn't to some degree) understand the success of the first film, so he wasn't motivated to move forward with an idea that didn't excite him.

The hook he was looking for, as it turns out, revolves around Ryder's Lydia and bringing together three generations of Deetz women, including O'Hara's Delia and Ortega's Astrid. "I so identified with the Lydia character, but then you get to all these years later, and you take your own journey, going from cool teenager to lame adult, back and forth again," he explains. "That made it emotional, gave it a foundation. So that was the thing that really truly got me into it."

Other details on the film itself are being kept secret for now, other than the presence of Monica Bellucci (Spectre), Arthur Conti (House of the Dragon), and Willem Dafoe (Poor Things) among the cast. (Dafoe previously disclosed his role as a B-movie action star who died and became a police officer in the Afterlife.) Burton feels "a bit jinx-y" about revealing such things, given that he's still shaping the movie in the editing phase. But he does confirm he'll be using stop-motion animation to bring a lot of the classic Beetlejuice effects to the screen. "It needed a back-to-basics, handmade quality," he says. "It reenergized why I love making movies."

And what about that title? Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. "It's been, what? Thirty-five years. So it didn't feel like Beetlejuice 2 to me," Burton says. "It didn't feel like that kind of a movie. The other one I thought of, because one of my favorite Dracula movies is Dracula A.D. 1972, was Beetlejuice 2024 A.D. But this was a nice simple one."

Just don't say the name one more time, or you risk summoning the man himself.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice will hit theaters on Sept. 6.

“Oh… NO”

The Whole "Being Dead" Thing: Reprise

The pause after “Hi!”

“Jesus I can’t spell”

“Eh, worth a try”

“I’m the bio-exorcist, giving houses enemas”

Dead Mom

“Daddy’s moving forward, daddy didn’t lose a mom”

“A plague of mice, a lightning strike, or drop a nuclear bomb”

Fright of their Lives

“Drop your panties”

“No. What fills you with RAGE”

“Being mean to a pet” MOOD BARBARA

BJ’s soliloquy, he’s so over it, so DRAMATIC

“WHY GOD SLASH SATAN”

“Uch, these dopes are both hopeless”

Ready, Set (Reprise)

You can just SEE the shoulder bump with “I’m sure we can haunt our own halls”

“I gotta get right outside my comfort zone” 😬

No Reason

“What’s happening, GURL”

“Buy more crystals”

The windchime during “put a little alright in the world”

“Where good people die” “NO”

“Cuz you’re bored” FLUTE SOLO

“Meaninglessness and alone” “NONONONONOOOOOOoooooo~” the talent it takes to pull off that vocal riff is ridiculous

“Is this still about me?”

The harmonies in the last note

Invisible (Reprise)/On the Roof

“Somebody’s on the roof” always has me cackling

“I, Lydia Deetz” *BIG SIGH* “will be gone”

“I’M GONNA HAVE A NEW BEST FRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEND”

Say My Name

The musical style?!?!?!?

This is my favorite song in the entire show. And it was not an easy choice.

“What?” “Nothing”

Nice Moana reference

“Beetlejuice?” she says, like “what a dumb fuckin name”

LYDIA’S WHOLE SECTION LET’S GOOOOOO

Including the music change

BJ being like WHAT and SO frustrated every time she psychs him out

In the production I saw Lydia said “I just metcha” and I like that better

“I may be suicidal but Beetlejuice it’s not as if I’ve lost my mind” OOF

“That was possession” lol he’s so proud of himself

Love love love the rhyme: “Pretty much, any ghost’ll do, sure” “Then Beetlejuice, what do I need you for?” and the subsequent WOAH WOAH WOAH

The instrumental hit right after she sings “Yeah I got game” is my favorite 

This whole song just slaps idk what else to tell you

Day-O

“I’d have to… check my pay stubs”

“Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy” as he pops up out of the table he had to hide in the whole scene

Dad finally saying Lydia’s name as he’s swept away

“It’s our house now, kid”

Girl Scout

“Ooh~!”

“Daddy’s leaving me the hell alone”

Barbara 2.0

“It’s the stuff of our lives, and all of it’s shit.”

“Okay, that wasn’t as much fun as I thought it would be.”

“Buhreak it”

“The new Adam is wiserrrrrrr”

Harmonieeeeees

What I Know Now

“I went to parties a lot…” *sniff* “You know?”

“Niche was right, you know? To live is to suffer, bro”

“Life is short but death is super long”

I really like this song because if you ruminate on it long enough it’s a good song to talk you into living life to its fullest even if things suck.

Home

I love that this is a reprise but also the whole theme of Lydia’s character - that her mom is home. But then she finds out that she can have a home with a (very dysfunctional) family and not forget her mom either.

Her little laugh when she says Delia’s name

Creepy Old Guy

“I’m a creepy old guy!!” 

“Girls may seem disgusted, but we’re actually just shy”

Shoobedowop

In the show I saw, Lydia goes: “Even on the inside, he- he’s disgusting” which I liked better than the recording

“A dance break on an album? Amazing.”

“L’chaim” is pronounced correctly, thank you Alex

“God be glorified” in a fucked up key

The whole company going “I can’t believe some cultures think this kind of thing’s alright” in unison

Jump in the Line/Dead Mom - Reprise

A perfect song to end a perfect show.

“I adore huh”

“Mama if you’re listening, doesn’t this just blow your mind?”

Shake shake shake senora in the background UGH MY HEART

DAYLIGHT COME AND ME WAN GO HOME

She’s home (I’m not crying you’re crying)

Overall thoughts:

Alex doing the Beetlejuice voice throughout THE WHOLE SHOW

The rhyming throughout the whole musical is just. A+

Lydia’s songsssssss

Honestly all the vocal parts are real hard

And so is the book for the pit

There’s like 8 different genres of music throughout the show and it just WORKS

I had no idea this show existed until the start of this year and now it’s in my top 3 favorite musicals. 10/10 amazing incredible perfect

this might be incredibly niche but beetlejuice the musical batfam au with jason todd as lydia deetz, batman as the maitlands, and joker as beetlejuice?

joker was never one of batman’s rogues; his supervillain origin story ended up killing him instead, but he’s recently returned from the netherworld intent on becoming batman’s arch-nemesis and wreaking havoc on gotham. how does he plan to do this? enlisting the man himself, the newly-dead batman, to get a living person to restore them both to life

jason todd is jacking someone’s tires when the batman catches him, except batman seems surprised? that jason can see him? because batman is dead. batman is a ghost, who actually kind of sucks at haunting, if he’s being honest. and batman wants jason to bring him back to life. which he’s not doing, mind you, because the first thing batman does when he’s alive again is probably going to be arresting jason for jacking those tires, and picking people’s pockets, and every other crime he’s watched him commit because the dude Will Not Leave Him Alone. jason does not need adult supervision, thank you very much, and batman isn’t an adult. he’s dead.

anyway jason can’t bring batman back to life, because he needs batman’s real name for that, and batman can’t say it. and if he was bringing anyone back from the dead, really, it would be his mom. is that an option now? the weird clown guy with the green hair says yes. although jason isn’t sure if he should trust him. (batman says no, but jason’s getting a little sick of the guy who got murdered in a rodent costume acting like he knows how to make good life decisions)
