stop. shipping beetlejuice with only one of the maitlands especially if it’s adam and double especially if it leads to you ignoring or ending a&b’s relationship in any way. beej flirts with them both openly plus if i see any more maitlands relationship erasure i’m going to eat!!! my hat!!!
Just one question, what do you think of the other ships from Beetlejuice, Goldenrat, Beetletina and etc?
Heya!! C: So, I think Goldenrat is Beetlejuice and the Maitlands. If so, that ship isn’t really my thing. I briefly tried to get into it, but ultimately it didn’t appeal to me.
As for Beetletina, I actually ship that one quite a bit, though mostly in the movieverse.
I’m often a multishipper in my fandoms, so it’s to be expected that I have more than one ship in this fandom too, haha
goldenrat used to be the main ship name for beetlelands, however jewish members of the bj fandom pointed out how referring to beej, a jewish character w a jewish actor, as a rat is antisemitic. The reason i kept the url was bc there was an issue at the time in the fandom of people impersonating others with their urls so i did not want anyone else to be able to have it.
Thats It Folks and you can find the rest of my content @nastybeetlelands
Yk I actually feel stupid rn like I realize I have two friends who are into beetlejuice but I keep the ship to myself cuz I dont even have to ask to know they consider it pedophilic or simply platonic but idkk it feels bad fangirling about the same things but keeping one of the best parts of it away from them I’m not sure if I’m making any sense but I realize how much of this whole beetlebabes obsession I’ve been doing alone, when I’m used to talking abt it with my friends it feels bad but jsjdjdj sorry I just wanted to know if it’s just me but. Yeah. Not saying I wanna stop liking it by any means but if I liked it less maybe it would be easier being the only person I know in real life who likes this ship as well? But it’s difficult
It's so sad that fandom can split friends these days. Honestly, it says a lot about what people find important. Fandom shipping really shouldn't be a factor.
Let me tell you a quick story about how fandom affects my friendship.
My best friend and I are into another cartoon fandom. He ships canon and I have a preference for the BFF's who both spend the entirety of canon simping after characters who are obliviously annoying. I love that comradery between the two friends who are constantly trying to support each other in heartbreak.
My friend has a total right to ship the canon. I have the right to break the canon ship up and let the sappy romantics fall into each other's pathetically hopeless arms. Both of us also have a right to lovingly give each other shit about it. And we do. We have whole ship wars on Twitter and in real life. We also have a bond that means that we can razz the fuck out of each other. Call names and at the end of the day, he is still my best friend.
Some may even find us shippable.... and I would say heeeeeellllll nah. I love him.. but he is my bro and we argue over ships and canon all the time.
That right there is real friendship. If I dumped his ass over a cartoon what would that say about me? Or him?
Petty and trivial. Lack of trust? He wouldn't know me and I wouldn't know him. If your friends see you as a problem for a cartoon/movie/musical, then there is something deeper going on.
Disclaimer here; I am not a therapist. I am not a relationship coach. But I am a mother, a wife, a friend, and a big sister to 7 younger buttheads who I adore with the loyalty of a rabid monster. I have many relationships in my life and if any of those relationships end, it's not due to fandom. However, I have lost fandoms over heartaches.
That could be the real danger here. The fandom you love may only be here a short time but linking a friendship to a fandom is dangerous. If the friendship fails, it may be difficult to enjoy the shows you once associated with them.
My best advice is to continue what you love. The people who care about YOU are the most important and if a stupid thing like a shipping war destroys that, then the friendship was not strong to begin with.
Now, this goes for my Babes here too, who I know are brilliant and wouldn't do this anyway... I hope.
Don't drop people because they like BeetleTina, Deetzlands, Goldenrat/Beetlands or even Lydia/Oc & Bj/oc. These trivial ship wars are not important in the real world. It's not worth breaking your heart or your friends' hearts over something like fandom. Keep your heart safe. Talk to your family and your friends. And finally, remember that fandom is just an extra fun time and not something to be ashamed of or feared.
Ok, Lecture mode is over. Have a good weekend Anon. Keep happy and keep thriving on your joys.

bonus teenage beetlelands. he is their trash boy and they love him
Quick question for people who ship Beetlejuice and Adam: If I a woman go out and force a kiss on an unexpecting woman are we now in a gay relationship?
No. It's sexual harassment. That is what Beetlejuice did to both Barbara and Adam. It's not cute. It's not funny. And if fiction=reality like a lot of you like to imply then your saying that sexual harassment is okay.
Goldenrat is just as gross as beetlebabes but at least beetlebabes is cannon and we don't go around harassing and suicide baiting people.
