I’m A Day Late About Posting These, But Recently I’ve Received A Very Generous Gift In The Mail From

THINGS I NOTICED WHILE WATCHING BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE AGAIN:

This is a very Beetlebabes-centric post, so if you don’t like the ship, please feel free to scroll away. <3

Beetlejuice cut Delores’ ring finger off, and while it was originally a fun joke in the first movie, there’s deep implications about that action when we look at it with the context of the second film. Beetlejuice attacked her after she betrayed him. Anyone would want to kill the person that poisoned them, but the fact that he took the time to find her finger and deliberately cut her ring finger off (and ONLY that finger) reflects how much that marriage meant to him. It also symbolizes that he’s effectively dissolving their marriage. He’s cut off the physical representation of their love and taken the ring, which he tries to give to Lydia hundreds of years later. He held onto that ring for centuries in hopes of finding someone he deemed worthy of it.

He calls his dynamic with Lydia a long-distance relationship, which could’ve been a throwaway joke if not for the fact that when he clearly notices how hot Janet is, he never talks to her or gropes her like he did with Barbara prior to meeting Lydia. Keaton said BJ wouldn’t be politically correct, so this isn’t to reflect the current political climate, but rather to reflect BJ’s motivations.

Beetlejuice was jobless at the start of the first movie, and in thirty years he’s built a company for his bio-exorcisms. Coupled with the picture of Lydia on his desk, it’s possible he did this to impress her. After all, she’s famous and rich now. BJ’s gotta step it up, y’know?

Probably overheard the convo between Lydia and Rory and deliberately bugged her at that time, because if he can possess the phone or whatever, he can probably use it to eavesdrop. This can be further supported by how he got rid of the influencers but kept the people that mattered to Lydia present—Delia and Astrid.

We can also assume he overheard the conversation where Lydia said that Rory loves her and that has to be enough because of the panning to a gravestone. BJ has a special fascination with graveyards, even tiny model ones. If he did overhear them, it explains why he used the truth serum on Rory. He’s testing him. He wants to see if this guy actually loves Lydia or if he’s using her, and then he gives Lydia the means to exact revenge on Rory rather than doing anything himself.

Lydia spends half the movie being strong -armed into a marriage with Rory, and in a way, it’s reminiscent of the first movie’s marriage attempt. Rory dangles their “love” in front of her like a carrot, and if she doesn’t want to be alone, she has to accept his manipulation and agree to get married. Yet she immediately offers it to Beetlejuice, only sounding annoyed rather than terrified. And the movie spends a lot of time proving that BJ has sincere motives this time around, whereas Rory doesn’t. It pushes an underlying message that if one of these guys is going to be a better choice, it’ll be BJ.

Despite Lydia having a tendency to back out of their deals, he still helps her first. He prioritizes saving Astrid even before finding his “runaway bride” again.

Casually calls Lydia the love of his life, looks so sincere when he says he’ll make her so happy. Clearly spent those 30 years planning that dream-dance sequence.

He doesn’t seem to care that Lydia’s sending him away. That coupled with the end scene illustrates how confident he is this time around. Lydia is still stuck with him, and even if he didn’t get her this time, he will eventually. But he also knows how spooked she is by marriage after being a snoop, so it’s possible that he’s just taking it slow on purpose.

In conclusion: Beetlejuice genuinely does want to be with Lydia and care about her. His feelings have evolved beyond permanent residence in the mortal world. If anything, if he still wants that, it’s so he can be by her side.

Most likely will anyway.

Laufey is my absolute go-to girl when drawing favorite Goth girl. I highly recommended listening to her music if you’re a fan of Chet Baker or Ella Fitzgerald. Ik having a Goth character be madly in love with Jazz music is odd, like seeing a bat swim in a pool but idc I love it.

BEETLEJUICE (1988) dir. Tim Burton (insp)

Once you die you’re either get sent in Hell or Heaven and after a few millennia you are then allowed to be Reborn, despite what your past life may have been like. But in a rare occasion, if you’re lucky enough, some people actually manage to get themselves in ye Ol’ Purgatory. But Once you’re in Purgatory, thats the End of your Story. No coming back. Ever.

Everyone knew that rule and excepted it.

Everyone except for Amaro.

Rules are very important to the Dead, but to Amaro, Rules mean nothing to him. Never have, never will.

I know I don’t say it enough but I totally should…

I appreciate you all, my Babes. 🖤

You guys make this fandom worth all the chaos.

Thank you for keeping it running with all your love and devotion to the spooky duo.

Honestly, without your creations there wouldn’t be so much to reblog. The community built here has been the most genuine and kind… and surprisingly stable during these last few years.

We have had our ups and downs. New friendships built while some have faded but we managed to keep the enjoyment of our geeky creepy fandom.

I hope that with every new addition to the fandom that the love for this stupid pair keeps us inspired. I look forward to the art, fics and crafts to come.

Thank you for being awesome.
