K Here Is The Thing. In Every Other Adaptation He Genuinely Cares For Lydia And Is Her Buddy, Only Makes

K here Is the thing. In every other adaptation he genuinely cares for Lydia and is her buddy, only makes moves on the adults, uses humor effectively to get favor from the audience, and is fleshed out a whole lot more.

The Beetlejuice movie was really about the Maitland's and Lydia, with Beetlejuice being the one to push them into doing anything.

In the musical it is *his* story. Well his and Lydia's He is the one who's starts us off and then hands over the mike to Lydia so she can get in on the action. That both have hard lives, fricked up relationships with parents, and after the show is over have grown and made new connections with others. **THIS** is what makes him lovable, seeing him grow and learn and make jokes throughout the show

Haven't seen the cartoon but instead of being a predatory guy with evil plan and no consent (like the movie) or simply wanting to be seen/not be so lonely (like the musical), he just is Lydia's chaotic and fun loving uncle buddy. His whole point is to be her friend and go on wacky adventures so it is a very cartoony and fun dynamic.

I love that the original beetlejuice movie went "this is beetlejuice. He's only in the movie for like 10 minutes and he's a disgusting, unpleasant man. Everybody hates him, and they're right to do so." and every other beetlejuice adaptation went "nah fuck that anyway hes cool and we love him".

I don't drink because ew and also illegal. But I would be completely down to go out to a soda shop or a hot coco place depending on the weather

I see some mutuals here and all i can think is “we could be friends. we’d sit at a bar and we’d talk and laugh and cry and we wouldn’t leave until they kicked us out” but you’re on the other side of the world. and i dont even know your name

WE FINALLY AT BEETLEJUICE HERE IN ECCLES THEATER AND AHHHHHHHHH

Idk if this making fun of multiple games or just Obey Me: Shall We Date? Because that was the only game I thought of (fricking love that game) btw

Hooooooooooly crap that was a looooot of reading but this story was a banger. Modern sit coma can't do crap on this

To the poor poor soul who narrated this story, I respect you and I hope your day is going better than Mr. Sheriff's and Marcia's day

Today's Adventure is that I, after an unintentional 13-hour power nap,

Got woken up at 6AM by a phone call from a friend stranded in Montana because of the heat wave and almost no cell service because of their crap provider.

OhSoThat'sHowIt'sGonnaBe.jpg

Ok.

I somehow summon a week's worth of spoons and in less than 30 minutes and 5 phone calls, get them

A hotel

An appointment with a mechanic from 2 states away

A perscription refilled from 2 states away

and A Pizza

Go me.

But then it's 8AM and there are unscheduled live humans at the door and while EVERGENCY MODE is still on, I have already blown through a ton of spoons, and also probably shouldn't meet whoever it is wearing just a pair of bootyshorts that say "CRYPTID" in Gothic Font on my ass.

So I greet them in those shorts and a T-shirt that I manage to put on both inside out and backwards

It is, Fortunately, not the mormons.

it is, Unfortunately, two UPS guys trying to deliver my other in-house friend's new phone except the new guy doesn't know how to operate the "sign for package" device, and the old guy that's supposed to be mentoring him is like, 92, deaf as a post, and doesn't actually know how to operate the device either.

by the way

it is already

over 100 out

it takes almost 30 minutes to sign for the phone

when i get back inside, i discover that apparently the Corgi has learned how to open his kennel from the inside because he is now out of the kennel and waiting for me to come in.

he also has cat litter all over his face because while he was waiting for me he also learned how to open the baby gate to the cat's room and help himself to a cat shit breakfast.

He'll be fine

He's a cattle dog, they're legally required to have at least 1 really disgusting snack they love.

but

more to the point

i have no idea at what point he learned to open his kennel from the inside

has he been staying there out of politeness this whole time??

And

I got other shit to do today.

namely.

I'm seeing a realator

The Devils most pathetic yet effective demons

I get a reminder text that I have an appointment with her

at least

I think that's what it is because what she sends me is: "🏡⏰12:00 ❔"

With the time typed in the middle like that.

She is, according to her profile, at least 80.

so I reply "😎👍"

and then she sends me a string of GODDAMN POST-MODERN EMOJI HEIROGLYPHICS THAT TAKE UP MY ENTIRE SCREEN.

She's on an iPhone so half of them don't even translate across platforms

It takes me half an hour and three different software programs and goddamn wingdings to translate, but she has sent me the address and rules about masking and not wearing shoes inside.

in emoji

instead of like

literally any other format

I am

FASCINATED

and simply must meet the woman so if I don't come back to update I got stolen by the fairies but I'm taking the Corgi with me as protection so I'll see y'all later.

HOOOOOOOOOLLY SHIT Y'ALL!!!! IT WAS FANTASTIC AND AMAZING AND KIK THEY MADE SOME UTAH REFERENCES THAT I AM SO PROUD OF AND LIKE GAH!!!!

During the "now we both got dead moms" I screamed "HECK YEAH" and my cousin promised me Collette looked up at me. I was like, naw he didn't don't play with my heart like that....

He did. He absolutely did. I had to hear it from Mr. Collette's mouth that he totally looked up at us in our box office seats and heard me. We got selfies and he was so sweet and like my delulu brain is currently having a field day.

Tldr: Beetlejuice is fantastic, Mr. Justin Collette I love you stay amazing ❤️

Proof I got a selfie ya salty caramels

WE FINALLY AT BEETLEJUICE HERE IN ECCLES THEATER AND AHHHHHHHHH
