Will post the rest when I’m finished.
It's showtime
I’m a day late about posting these, but recently I’ve received a very generous gift in the mail from @vavandeveresfan of some Beetlejuice merch she was kindly to give(Minus the skull that’s mine)) and I couldn’t ask for anything better for this Halloween. As for a few years now, I feel like I lost that Halloween spark, that special feeling when I had growing up for it and I can’t express how much this made me excited for the spooky season again.(Even though these are the last few days of it)) Nevertheless, I’m very happy and to receive a gift like this, especially from my favorite online author. Besides from her Beetlejuice collection, you can check out her other amazing works because I highly recommend them:
I really love these vintage stickers, magnets and playing cards. They came along with six vintage Valentine Day cards but I was hesitate on removing them from their neat clean envelopes so I didn’t take them out for pictures. There were also painted backgrounds stills from the animated series “Beetlejuice” as well but I don’t plan on taking them out until I get them properly framed.
It’s a small collection so far but it’ll become a museum one day.
The Johnson Sisters
Vera Johnson (19) is the one Beatrice’s close friend from College. Vera wishes to be a better and stronger user of witchcraft magic but admittedly she isn’t the best at it and often goes to the internet for her supplies that happen to go on sale. Also she might have strong interest with the supernatural, it’s more for the aesthetic, she isn’t superstitious and doesn’t really believe that her doing any magic would be considered “real”. It’s just for fun, like a hobby.
Magnolia Johnson, AKA Maggie, is a 12-year-old girl and is the younger sister of Vera. Maggie could be considered a creepy girl growing up but she’s just curious about the Unknown and tends get lost on searching for that Unknown. She loves odd and taboo things and dreams of having a perfect collection of those very things.
Oh? Beetlejuice 2 is happening I guess.
Cool. 🙃🙂🙃
I kinda like the casting but it’s a little weird in all honesty.
Did I want for this?
No.
But I am very down to watch it.
A little strange how they’re making it now as I was making myself comfortable here despite the lack of fellow mutuals, but hey, who knows? It could actually be good??? 🫣🫢
I doubt it though.
Illness Update: it’s not Covid again, thank god but I had definitely caught something.
working on a gif set of all of michael keaton's stuff in the bts video but i had to make this a solo post because oh my god look at him
his face is so silly
After rereading this, This comes off more of an Essay than a rant.
As with any fandom community, being a part of the Beetlejuice fandom can be a wonderful experience. For many fans, like myself, it's a way to connect with others who share their love for the quirky characters, unique humor, and funny catchy songs of the cult classic movie. The Beetlejuice fandom is no exception, with fans of the iconic 1988 film and the more recent Broadway musical(That’s gone now)) coming together to celebrate their love for the quirky and supernatural world of Beetlejuice. However, as with any community, there are also flaws to be found.
The flaws and issues that arise, particularly when it comes to the behavior of younger generations who are new to the fandom. In the case of Beetlejuice, some fans who were introduced to the world through the recent musical adaptation may have a different perspective and approach to the fandom than those who have been fans of the original film for many years.
One issue that has been noted by some long-time fans is the fetishization of the character of Beetlejuice by younger fans. This can involve sexualizing the character and viewing him as a Trans Man for example. Some people would actually claim that’s he can’t be a desirable figure if he’s not one, rather than as the chaotic and mischievous spirit he is meant to be portrayed as. This fetishization can be concerning and uncomfortable for some fans, particularly those who have a deeper appreciation for the character and the world of Beetlejuice beyond just surface-level attraction.
Another issue that can arise in any fandom community is gatekeeping, or the idea that certain fans may try to exclude or invalidate others based on their level of knowledge or experience within the fandom. This can lead to a toxic environment where new fans feel unwelcome or discouraged from participating, which is not conducive to building a positive and inclusive community.
Despite these challenges, there are still many reasons to love being a part of the Beetlejuice fandom. The shared enthusiasm for the unique and imaginative world created by Tim Burton, as well as the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals from all over the world, make the community a vibrant and exciting place to be.
Ultimately, it is important to remember that any fandom community is made up of individuals with their own perspectives and experiences. While it is important to acknowledge and address problematic behavior, it is also important to focus on building a welcoming and inclusive community where all fans can feel valued and appreciated. By working together and respecting each other's opinions and perspectives, the Beetlejuice fandom can continue to thrive for years to come.
But, of course, that’s easier said than done.
There’s been a lot of content that I didn’t think I was going to witness Beetlejuice doing in a lifetime.
