Beetlejuice and Delia headcanons? I feel like they'd be good friends :')
Heck yeah!!
Okay so they’re surprisingly good friends!
Nobody expected it to work
But it did
Every once in a while, they’ll have little spa days together where they’re do face masks and do each other’s nails.
Or more like Delia does his nails, and then has to fix what he did to hers.
One time, he asks her to give him stiletto nails. Black stilettos.
She has to buy a kit and watch a couple of YouTube videos on how to do it, but she does do it.
They turn out pretty good!!
A few days later, he asks her to take them off. Not all of em, just the ones on his middle and pointer fingers on his right hand.
Delia’s been through enough to know what that means, and does so. She also apologizes to the Maitlands.
She gets him bath bombs!
Because A, in order to use them, he has to take a bath. And B, he like the way they look and feel.
Stimmy rights!
They like to bake together!
Surprisingly, BJ is the one that takes the lead.
Everyone thought it would be Delia, while BJ would make a mess or probably try and eat the ingredients.
But nah, it’s usually Delia who’s helping out instead of the other way around.
They make weed brownies sometimes, but shhh don’t tell Charles
They have snack nights!
Which is a fancy way of saying that they either smoke weed together, vape together, or get drunk on wine together and vent about their past traumas while eating fancy snacks. (Cheeses, fruits, meats, etc)
They of course do it on the back porch because they don’t wanna get the weed smell in the house.
Delia gets sad and confused when she’s high, and is a pretty loud and happy drunk.
Beetlejuice is a pretty quiet when he’s high, he just feels a lot hungrier and more tired. He’s a sleepy, calm boy. However, he’s pretty sad as a drunk. He will cry at least twice while he’s drunk.
(Don’t do drugs, kids.)
Beetlejuice tried to get her a cat after she mentioned she got one after her first divorce.
A little black cat named Onyx!
Needless to say, Delia cried a bit. Good thing her makeup is waterproof.
Sometimes, if BJ promises to behave, they’ll go out shopping together and they’ll try and create outfits for each other!
Beetlejuice doesn’t know the slightest thing about fashion, other than matching up colors.
Delia comes out looking like a hot mess half of the time
But Beetlejuice? Serving up looks. A whole 4 course meal. Absolutely delicious.
They’ll watch shitty reality TV shows together and just yell at the TV whenever anything happens
Charles tried to join once and got scared.
Delia once decided they should watch season 8 of Are You The One without telling BJ what it was about, other than it was a dating show.
But when it came on
He instantly fell in love
Because holy shit. “That’s like me!! They’re bi!! They’re like me!!!”
Then when Kai came up
He was instantly happy flapping because “HE'S LIKE ME!!!”
Delia went to bed after about 2 episodes (they’re each about an hour long)
Beetlejuice binge watches the entire season after she falls asleep
She’s concerned, yet impressed.
i’m home sick, so y’all know what that means: headcanons babey!
catch a bunch of these being about people being sick because i’m currently Dying Alone and if no ones gonna be here, at least i can write headcanons about it :)
- the first time lydia get sick, beetlejuice flips his shit (he has major time blindness sometimes and forgets that modern medicine exists) and he smothers her with soup and blankets before the maitlands eventually drag him away while she’s asleep
- on the flip side, beej get sick, and the only ones who can be around him are the maitlands (netherworld sicknesses don’t work well with breathers, but it isn’t contagious to ghosts.)
- the maitlands basically just cuddle him until he gets better (no one is complaining)
- lydia offhandedly mentions that one of her friends is getting sick. she’s sent into school with a large thermos of soup courtesy of the 3 ghosts
- charles will try to hide the fact that he’s sick until he gets really sick. (delis scolds him for this in between caring for him while he’s stuck in bed)
- when someone gets sick, big sandy is with them at all times. (this hc comes courtesy of one of my dogs who is sleeping next to me as i write this, and won’t leave me alone when i get sick or injured)
- beetlejuice’s first valentine’s day with the maitlands: he pairs up with lydia to plan everything so that he doesn’t screw it up. (it still manages to go awry in some way, it is beetlejuice, but the maitlands wouldn’t have it any other way)
- one time, when lydia was really sick, the maitlands and deetzs go to check on her in her room, and are greeted by her cuddling with a very large and fluffy dog. (multiple photos were taken, and even though he’d rather be eaten by big sandy than admit it, he has a copy in his wallet.)
- oh yeah. beej carries around a wallet. why? he hardly ever has money, but, he does like to keep pictures in it. (mostly of him and the maitlands and deetzs)
- beetlejuice and the maitlands eventually getting married. kinda like how marrying a breather would make bj alive, the maitlands marrying beetlejuice makes them demons as well. chaos ensues as they try and figure out their powers. (and to tie it to my wing au bc i Love It, they eventually start to grow wings as their power manifests, since they married a powerful demon. bj cries. a lot.)
- bj and lydia run a tumblr and discord server. it’s Very chaotic and they love it.
- they also have a youtube channel. lydia has her own as well, where she mostly talks about how haunted her house is. (i have an au where bfu picks up on this and does an episode and they try and mess with the boys,,,, maybe i’ll post it soon)
- the town knows something’s up with the deetz (and previously maitland) house, but they’re all Too Scared to ask
- people who fuck with any of the deetzs get haunted, full stop
- charles keeps the maitland’s hardware store open! (they hire a 20ish year old from out of town. the maitlands visit with bj occasionally, and the guy will come in sometimes to shelves restocked/organized, and a hot cup of coffee on the counter.)
- bj actually did graduate from juliard. it was just a really really long time ago
- bj stims vocally a lot! he tends to make animal noises, and really odd dinosaur/gremlin noises. (they just sound good and feel nice to him)
i think that’s it for now, as even though i’m sick i still (sadly) have things to do. hope y’all like the new set of hcs!
as for the bfu au, i still haven’t finished it. it’s definitely going to be the longest one yet, so it may take a while rip
Do you think Beej has any kind of useless but fun things he can do? (Fool your friends, fun at parties!)
OKAY SO-
not a magic thing, but the man can absolutely break it down. He’s great at dancing. The man has hella strength and is hella flexible, so take what you can.
Can make things move and float on command! It’s fun of mess around with Lydia and move things away from her as she tries to grab em.
Likes to use it to scare new guests in the house.
Or as he likes to call em
Fresh meat
“Was that mug there a second ago?” “DAMMIT BEEJ!”
He can shape shift! Nothing says fun like turning yourself into a potted plant in Charles and Delia’s room and making random animal noises at 3:47am while watching them go crazy trying to figure out the source of the noise.
Also helps while running from the cops, so I guess it’s useful?
C L O N E S
have you ever seen 20 of the same guy reenact the entirety of The Princess Bride using only cardboard cutouts, aluminum foil, worms on strings, and ketchup?
Would you like to?
VOCAL PROJECTION!!!
Has recreated so many vines and TikToks with Lydia.
Sometimes it’s terrifying
Nothing quite beats hearing “*from a few feet away* V sauce. *from behind you* Michael here. *from inside your head* what if... You were defenseless?” At 2am.
POSESSION!!
Mostly likes to possess the Maitlands to get em to say shitty memes.
As I’ve said before, he’s gotten Adam to recreate the entirety of “Burger King foot lettuce.”
Thank you for the request! Yeehaw!!
time for the au literally no one asked for: my guide dog au!
(i literally don’t know when or where i came up with this, but it exists, and i wrote 3 pages on it, so buckle up, it’s gonna be a long post)
lydia’s trip to the underworld didn’t come without a price. while charles wasn’t affected for more than a week or so following, lydia wasn’t so lucky. whereas charles only felt a general weakness in the week following their escapade, lydia’s persists.
the reason this is is because lydia is a child and medium, meaning that she was both very lucky and unlucky. the reason charles could remain in the netherworld for a brief period of time without too big of a drawback was because he was an adult, and as such, his soul is firmly tethered to his body. lydia is a different story, as an average human soul isn’t properly tethered to the body until about age 21.
however, lydia is a medium, and as such, her soul would be naturally tethered by about 17-18 years (although it’s closer to 16-17 for more powerful mediums such as lydia.) before their soul is properly tethered, they’re only supposed to use their power in minor ways (like seeing/interacting with spirits, and low powered summoning rituals like beej’s. yes, humans can see spirits and demons, however, they need a strong power present to see them initially, aka beetlejuice)
seeing as lydia was only 15 when this occurred, her power and soul weren’t properly tethered to her, and so keeping herself alive in the netherworld taxed her powers heavily. (without her power, she would’ve died soon after they entered the netherworld.) the general weakness is caused by her powers focusing on keeping her alive, and seeing as it’s not much more than the weakness, and charles had weakness as wel, everyone shrugs it off. however, after about a month, everything changes.
during a movie night, lydia suddenly falls unconscious, and can’t be woken up by anyone, living or dead. the maitlands start to see a purple aura surrounding her (her power attempting to hold her soul to her body), and tell the deetzs to summon beetlejuice, in hopes that he would be able to fix whatever was happening. charles hesitates, and so delia is the one to summon him.
he appears, jokes already coming out of his mouth, however he immediately quiets down upon seeing his best friend unconscious with an aura surrounding her. (the aura is strong enough that even charles and delia are starting to see it.) everyone watches as a green aura leaks from beej’s hands, carefully “pushing” the purple aura back into lydia. as soon as this is done, lydia boots awake, asking about what the hell just happened.
it’s beetlejuice’s time to talk, as everyone looks to him for answers. he explains how the netherworld must have affected her, and how left untreated, this would kill her. it would take her a bit longer for her soul and powers to settle, 18-19 years old, but if they could keep it in check, she would be fine. everyone is wary about having him back, but he’s the only one who can do this, as the maitlands are nowhere near powerful enough, and so it’s decided he stays. (lydias glad to have her friend back, the maitlands kinda missed him, charles really isn’t a fan, and delia knows there’s more to him than meets the eye.)
they sit down to talk, and he explains that he’ll basically have to shadow her, as he would need to be around her in case she has an “attack”. he would also need to stay summoned, as getting summoned and banished would take a toll on his powers. he also can’t stay invisible, as it would drop and he would be visible the second she had an attack on the stronger side.
they all think about it, before adam pipes up with an idea: beetlejuice could turn into an animal that wouldn’t be too taxing on his powers, and they could register him as a service animal for lydia (she didn’t start school for another week.) they all agree, and they obtain (aka forge) papers for a service dog for lydia, as it would be an easy shape for him to maintain while helping lydia out of an attack. he’s a bit on the bigger side, so that if lydia passes out high up/standing up, he can catch her. (think mix between a caucasian shepard, and tibetan mastiff, with pointy ears. his fur is mostly black and white, and he has a few green patches that they explain away with “pet safe dye”)
beej is waned to behave, and even though he really isn’t looking forward to it, he’d do anything for his bffff safe. they decide his name will be beetle (although lydia kept suggesting things like antwine and bugdrink)
people are kinda skeptical, and many don’t believe that her need for a service animal is real. however, this changes when during an ap bio class, she’s standing up at the board writing something, and she suddenly collapses, completely unconscious. beetle springs into action from where he was by her feet and catches her, lowering them slowly down to the ground. everyone rushes to check on her, but beetle’s growl is enough to keep them at bay. he uses his nose to poke at her face and neck, miming “waking her up” as he uses his power to stabilize her. after about a minute, she wakes up, groaning and holding her head. the teacher lets her leave to go to the nurse, and they go, lydia leaning a bit on him as they walk. she murmurs a thanks to him, and tosses him a dead beetle from the bag of “treats” she keeps for him.
(a little bonus)
lydia and beetle are at a concert in a pretty large venue, and they get barrier in the pit (beetle safely tucked between lydia and the barrier so that he doesn’t get stepped on) lydia’s having a good time, jumping around with everyone else. however, at one point she jumps up, and crashes down, as she goes unconscious mid jump. people around her freak out as beetle catches her and lowers her to the ground. the performers also stop, seeing as they just witnessed A Child go unconscious for seemingly no reason. (the performers also announce what has happened, as they seemingly stopped for no reason)
people try and check on her, but beej growls until they back off. medics show after a minute, but are wary of getting near the hulking dog. after another minute or so, lydia wakes up, and looks around. she sheepishly says “so, what did i miss?” and everyone breathes a collective Sigh Of Relief. the medics still check her over as the performance resumes, but deem her ok and she stays.
(they get invited backstage to see the band after the show, and they end up on the band’s social media. videos of beej protecting lydia also pop up, as people had filmed the whole thing. they definitely end up on some talk sho, and lydia proceeds to have another attack.)
aaaaand that’s it! i’m gonna add some doodles i did of dog beej below, plus a rough size comparison of him vs lydia. hope you guys like this au!
ok so this headcanon/au list is weeks of me randomly writing down stuff. (i may make a list of some more uh... nsfw headcanons later on, but idk)
also, some of these aus are very dumb and unrealistic, but whatever, so
there is no beetlebabes shipping in this at all. don’t even try. the only shipping is charles/delia (do they have an official ship name?) and adam/barbara/beetlejuice, which is beetlelands and/or goldenrat!
(some of these are very unrealistic/basically just me projecting but this is my list and i’ll Do What I Want)
also, fuck formatting, i’m too lazy
- au where higher powered demons/ghouls have wings. naturally, beetlejuice has them and he is a fucking disaster. he knocks shit over, gets them caught on everything, and will knock people over. (somehow, they’re the only thing that’s actually clean)
- au in which the netherworld had a more lasting effect on lydia, and causes her to have sort of “fainting” spells (there’s a whole long and convoluted explanation but i’m too lazy to type it out.) since this is obviously bad for multiple reasons, beej turns into a “service” dog to help her at school (the fact that he knows lydia is being bullied may have influenced his decision)
- lydia and beetlejuice share one, very very damaged brain cell between them. they’re both smart in their own ways, but the second they try and solve something together? nothing. they usually end up almost going through with a stupid scheme until someone stops them last minute
- they may not have a dog, but (big) sandy the sandworm is just as happy to play fetch
- they also have a “girls” night once a week, in which they watch crappy horror movies, paint their nails, talk shit about people, and beetlejuice gushes complains about the maitlands
- bj can actually speak quite a few languages (he’s been around quite a long time, after all) however, he chooses to hide this fact until a time where he can a) freak someone out or b) show off
- bj follows lydia to school occasionally and will either make snide comments about the other students, or tell lydia what they’re doing on their phones (lydia sometimes hears things she wishes she had never known)
- lydia and beetlejuice stay “married”, but only in a convinient way (financial aid and tax benefits ftw, beetlebabes fuck off)
- beetlejuice plays the ukulele (as shown in the musical) and you can sometimes hear him playing on the roof (if he sees anyone listening he’ll immediately stop and go pink and disappear)
- bj and lydia go to pride every year, and Fuck Shit Up in a (mostly) legal way. once the maitlands figure out how to leave the house, they accompany them and let loose and join them in their chaos. delia eventually starts coming as well. charles stays home to preserve his sanity.
- beetlejuice figures out the maitlands can leave the house so long as they have a piece of it with them, and so makes them bracelets with wood from the house. they’re both extremely happy and grateful.
- beetlejuice and miss argentina are pals, and hung out together when beej used to spend all of his time in the underworld (he still pops by to visit her occasionally, and even helped her with the backlash/work after juno died)
- au where it’s now book of mormon, and lydia and bj are paired up for a mission. chaos ensues. (don’t ask me how this one would work, because i honestly don’t know.)
- lydia has a sleepover at her house with school friends. one of them brings a ouija board. beej and the maitlands decided to have time fun with it, and lydia tries not to crack up watching them.
- delia and beetlejuice are friends (bc they lowkey have a decent amnt in common ngl) and delia will occasionally join in on beej & lyds’ schemes
- delia treats beej like a son due to him acting like lydia’s crazy and feral (yet very loving and overprotective) older brother. charles doesn’t get it, but it makes her happy so he goes along with it.
- just like beej and lyds have “girls night”, delia, barbara, and beetlejuice have something similar where they drink wine, gossip about the neighborhood moms, and watch shitty reality tv and yell at the screen. charles tried to interrupt once and got a bottle of wine thrown at him (courtesy of delia)
- beetlejuice and lydia are Trans As Fuck (lydia’s lesbian and beej is pan) the maitlands are both bi, delia is pan and charles is Straight.
- souleater au where lydia is the meister and bj is her weapon
- beetlejuice has a love of all things circus. (he’s surprisingly good at trapeze, and not-so-surprisingly good at fire eating and breathing)
- beej has a big fat crush on the maitlands, but him being the emotionally stunted demon he is, has absolutely no idea how to express this
- the maitlands suspect that bj is crushing on them, but they aren’t completely sure (they still think he’s adorable, though)
- beej loves cuddling. that’s it, that’s the headcanon. he is a very touchy person (and not just in a perverted way.) he and lydia can be seen cuddling in bed binging horror movies, and bj is known to get comfy on the couch that is definitely not big enough for both him and the maitlands. (also, beej loves being the little spoon.)
- lydia and delia share a very niche interest in astrology, and it’s probably one of the only things they have in common. (delia still loves lydia and lydia loves her too, even if she would never admit it)
- au where lydia dies in some accident, and beetlejuice pulls a bunch of strings to make her a demon. he now has to train her to use her newly gained powers. (to make her a demon, they had to be related, so he adopts her as his younger sister)
- to mash together the au above and the wing au from the top of the list, one day lydia starts growing wings and beetlejuice couldn’t be prouder.
- the maitlands have really dumb (but cute) nicknames for beetlejuice (gummyworm, teddy bear, marshmallow, etc. they occasionally call him lawrence, which makes him melt.) lydia has borderline insulting nicknames for bj (trash man, hobo, stinky bastard, etc.) and charles and delia just call him random variations of his name (mr. juice, beetleman, mr. beetle, etc. they will use his full name if he does something too chaotic, and it’s then he knows to run)
(i just lost a bunch of headcanons and aus because tumblr unexpectedly closed :( i’m gonna try my best to re-write them all. i’m also grouping all the aus together before i re-write the headcanons, so get ready lol)
- pjo au!
• lydia is a daughter of persephone, and starts attending camp at age 12 (persephone doesn’t actually have a kid with charles, she just lends her magic to lydia’s mom in order for them to have a kid, as she actively was a worshipper of persephone, and that ends up making lydia a half blood.)
• beetlejuice was a son of hectate, but died after performing wayyyy too many rituals to increase his magic, and it eventually got too much to control and the strain killed him. he keeps his powers when he dies though. (he got banished from the underworld and was tied to a living soul for as long as they lived - it was lydia, so now they Fuck Shit Up together. hades regrets his choice of punishment.)
• barbara is a daughter of harmonia
• adam is a son of hephaestus
• delia is a legacy of eros
barbara and adam are instructors at camp halfblood (barbara teaching pottery and adam teaching woodworking)
they take lydia under their wing when they notice she doesn’t really have friends, and so they eventually meet beetlejuice (he has a Big Crush on them but refuses to do anything about it. for now.)
- hunger games au time! (at this point i’m just doing aus of all of the old young adult series i used to read)
• beetlejuice and lydia were the tributes chosen from district 12 (with beetlejuice volunteering to protect lydia during the games)
• their mentor is juno, who is an asshole and is utterly useless, as she doesn’t think they have any chance
• the maitlands are a couple that live in the capitol, even if they really don’t agree with the morals and lifestyle. they are huge sponsors for bj and lyds during the games.
• beej and lyds are the last ones standing, and after all the trouble that beetlejuice has made the capitol go through during the games, they decide it isn’t worth it to try and kill them, so they both win.
• the maitlands secretly take in both of them after the games
• charles flips houses and delia is an artist, they know about the maitlands and help keep the secret
- time for the divergent au nobody asked for!
• lydia was born erudite and transferred dauntless (she could’ve stayed erudite as well)
• beetlejuice was born dauntless and stayed (he did have an aptitude for amity, but he’ll take that to the grave)
• barbara was born erudite and transferred amity
• adam was born abnegation and transferred amity
• charles was born erudite and stayed
• delia was born amity and transferred erudite (she had aptitude for candor as well)
beej is lydia’s trainer when she joins dauntless, and they become inserperable during and after training. (lydia graduates top of her class - she would’ve despite beetlejuice, but it didn’t hurt to have him)
(taking some liberties here and making it so that factions can interact with each other outside of school and mandatory events, however intermarriage and dating between factions is a no no)
the maitlands find beetlejuice doing Stupid Shit in the woods near amity. this happens a few times, with bj and lyds running away each time, until they finally catch them and they all meet.
the maitlands take lyds under their wing, but don’t know what to think about beetlejuice (they secretly adore him, but won’t be telling him that anytime soon. bj has a Humongous Crush on them, and tells them. eventually. they end up dating despite the illegality of it)
the deetzes end up finding out about the dating, and keep it secret, even though hey aren’t particularly fond of beej. yet.
- and now time for a warrior cats au. time to bring up those repressed memories :)
(ok so again, more liberties, cats can choose to join another clan when they become apprentices, and the clans interact a lot more outside of meetings and battles. also the only one i have a warrior name for is beetlejuice, because his would literally just be Beetlejuice)
• beetlejuice was born a loner and eventually joined shadow clan as an apprentice
• lydia was born thunder clan and transferred to shadow clan, and was chosen to be a medicine cat
• barbara would be river clan and stay there
• adam would be thunder clan and transfer to river clan to be with barbs
• charles and delia were both born and stayed in thunder clan
beej is lyd’s mentor for non-medicine cat stuff (as shadow clan teaches their med cats to fight, and i feel like they would get all of the same training normal apprentices did, such as hunting)
lyds and the maitlands get along and hang out a lot, and beetlejuice just kinda trails along. yet again he has a crush on them. however, he minimizes his time with them so that they don’t find reasons to dislike him (in his eyes)
- ok so we’ve done one cat au, time for a much more niche one! this one is based on the book claws, by mike and rachel grinti. (it’s a middle school level book for sure, but i picked it up sometime in elementary school and i still love it now that i’m older)
• beej as jack (although he still has magic, his magic is just super chaotic and hard to control) lyds as emma, and they go on a quest for how lydia’s mom died (something to do with the faries)
• beetlejuice only agrees to do the quest because he wants a friend, which was really the whole reason behind giving lydia the heart.
• the maitlands are part of the pride that lyds takes over. they were wary of her at first, but backed her up when she needed it. they warmed up to her quickly after that, and they take her under their wing to show her the ropes of how prides work
beej continues to hang out with lydia, but isn’t really accepted by the pride for the most part, with the maitlands being the closest to being his friends. this eventually changes, and they grow closer over time.
- small httyd au: lydia is a viking, her dad is a high ranking official, her mom killed in a dragon raid, delia still does art ig.
• the maitlands are dragons, and lydia befriends them. she later befriends another dragon, beetlejuice. she eventually teaches the villiage dragons are good and all that jazz.
- ok back to headcanons now: adam rescued injured wildlife when he was alive, and that hasn’t stopped now that he’s dead. a section of the roof is dedicated to little habitats/enclosures for injured animals, so that they can rest up and heal
- although she isn’t so good at rescuing animals like adam is, barbara still loves animals. (beetlejuice will turn into different animals so that he has an excuse to cuddle her)
- bj secretly enjoys how vanilla/naive the maitlands can be, and thinks it’s really cute
- beetlejuice is actually pretty good at cooking, and will make dinner for him and the maitlands on date night. (he also cooks comfort food for people when they’re upset)
- bj is an internet troll. that’s it that’s the headcanon.
- beetlejuice wasn’t born or anything, juno just kinda made him by accident, and that’s why she hates him so much. so, one day beetlejuice just came into existence, a full 5ft 8inches of pure chaos.
this headcanon is a bit odd for me, because it changes depending on the story/plot i’m thinking about, so i’m now reintroducing the trans headcanons so i can explain how it would work.
he presented as female for a while before saying “fuck that” and coming out. he would’ve done it sooner, but seeing as he just started existing one day, it took a bit for him to realize that not wanting to be the gender he was born as just Wasn’t Normal. idk if the netherworld has hrt, but im basing my version of it more off the cartoon, in which people have like houses and lives, i’m assuming it exists, so he got hrt surgery n shit
on the other side, when this headcanon doesn’t apply, he was about 16 when he came out, his parents said Fuck That because he was growing up pretty far in the past (idk exact time period, but trans people were a big No No) and he ended up offing himself. he ends up altering his appearance or going through hrt/surgery in the netherworld.
- in a human au, because i just thought of thi, he’d come out at age 16 still, and juno, shitty parent she is, kicks him out. the deetzes take him in, with lydia being about 14ish, and the maitlands are their tenants who become the second set of parents. (lydia is trans in human au)
- continuing the trans hc, lydia and her parents suspected when she was about 9ish, and so after having it confirmed by multiple doctors and specialists, was put on blockers until she could start hrt at 16. it’s a very happy day when she turns 16 and beetlejuice definitely doesn’t cry
- beetlejuice has a phobia of water and that’s one reason why he doesn’t shower (the maitlands eventually help him deal with it enough to be able to shower/bathe occasionally, because he still does like his trashy look)
- bj does drag. lydia and delia help him with makeup and clothing.
- beej also worked as a male stripper for a time at dante’s inferno in the netherworld. he’s amazing at pole dancing, and he can walk like a pro in heels.
- also, because heels autocorrected to heelys st first, beej owns heelys and will zoom around the house in them. lydia eventually buys a pair for herself and they Go Crazy
i think that’ll end off this list for now, as it’s gotten pretty long. there’s a good chance i’ll make another one in the future, but for now, thats all folks!
here’s an absolutely huge au/hc list from my main blog. i’m actually fully fleshing out the service dog au i mentioned at the top, so hopefully that will be up tonight or tomorrow.
currently sitting on the curb waiting for my ride to show up, so that means random headcanon time!
- lydia introduces beetlejuice to untitled goose game and immediately regrets it. beej turns into a goose and Wreaks Havoc on the town.
- lydia just,,,, really likes climbing trees. dunno what to tell you. she just likes being high up, and will bring her camera to get cool shots.
- once they figure out how to leave the house (via beetlejuice), the maitlands start a small garden of fruits, vegetables, and herbs. delia has one too, and hers is mostly flowers and herbs for art purposes. (the maitlands have a section dedicated to plants beej and lyds bring back from the netherworld.)
- speaking of the netherworld, beej starts bringing her on trips when she gets a bit older and her powers as a medium have settled. everyone loves beej’s new breather friend because it’s been forever since they’ve seen a breather/been alive, and she’s pretty cool in general. (bj definitely gloats about how she’s his bffff. lydia just kinda rolls her eyes when she overhears it.)
- someone tries to harm her and gets fucking,,,, Demolished by beetlejuice. (aka, high ranked demon lets his powers go fucking Ham on some lower demon that tries to hurt his sister best friend.)
- on the flip side, beej gets attacked by juno or one of her lackeys, and lydia unleashes her (pretty powerful) medium powers on them. (everyone now knows not to mess with either of them.)
- charles doesn’t know when he adopted this literal trans trash heap of a demon, but he did, and they include him in the holiday cards. (said demon is Very Happy, especially since charles tells everyone that beej is a “very close family friend”)
- delia, charles, and beej will drive around and look at houses in the neighborhood, and critique them. (“ugh, that stone does not suit that house’s design.” “you are absolutely right donna.” “delia.” “whatever.”)
- they all take their family games of monopoly, uno, and risk very seriously. (barbara once nearly broke the table after adam gave her a +4 during a game of uno. adam and beej were also banished to the couch one night for ganging up on her in risk. it doesn’t last long, and the deetz wake up to all 3 of them in a pile on the couch the next morning.)
- when beej wants to follow lydia to school, he’s occasionally change into a rat or ferret and hide in her hoodie pocket. she feeds him little snacks she keeps in her bag. (everyone her class doesn’t understand how she gets away with it, but they get to see a cute animal, so they’re not complaining)
- beej and lydia go to concerts, and when they’re in the pit, beej puts lydia on his shoulders and uses his powers to make himself a bit taller so that she has the best view. (they’ve also definitely snuck backstage before.)
- they all occasionally play a game of some sport together. usually it breaks up into everyone vs beetlejuice and his clones. (he doesn’t usually win because the clones will side with the other team and destroy him.)
- lydia is secretly teaching beetlejuice how to drive. they’ve had a few close calls, but they haven’t caused anything bad enough that bj’s powers couldn’t fix, and they consider that a win.
i honestly don’t know where i come up with most of these,,,, they mostly come from me thinking “hey wouldn’t if be crazy if......”
this one’s also kinda short, but hope y’all like them anyways!
Trans Beetlejuice headcannons? :3c
these are near and dear to my heart, so fuck yeah!
- lawrence beetlejuice shoggoth was born as lauren beetejuice shoggoth
- beej comes out to juno after he’s about 14 in breather years. this does not go well at all, and is one of the huge points of contention between them. (the only reason she calls him lawrence in front of the maitlands and deetzs is because it would make her look stupid, as bj passes so well.)
- bj comes out to lydia first, sometime after he returns from the netherworld after he leaves after the whole killing juno thing. in return, lydia comes out to him as trans. (he definitely cries a tiny bit and vows to Destroy any that misgender his sister bffff)
- (also just want to slip this in since i gave bj’s full name pre & post transition - lydia anne deetz was born logan andrew deetz)
- beej (accidentally) comes out to the maitlands next, as they walk in on him without a shirt on and see the surgery scars. (i don’t know how a demon would get top surgery, but i’m assuming the netherworld would have an equivalent, as i see it more like the cartoonverse where the netherworld is an Actual Liveable Society)
- they both take it in stride, and assure him nothing will change between the 3 of them. (except it does, because they all have the hots for each other, and end up in a relationship. sorry, i don’t make the rules, that’s just How It Is)
- he eventually tells charles and delia once he gets a bit more comfortable, and they both thank him for telling them.
- charles is unfazed due to having experience with lydia, and delia had some trans friends growing up, and so knows how big this is for him to be telling them.
- after coming out to everyone, beej gets a lot more relaxed with his clothing style, and starts sleeping shirtless again, seeing as everyone Knows.
- beetlejuice makes really stupid jokes when giving himself t-shots. (again, don’t think this would technically work because he’s Dead, but eh) he has many dumb names for t, and basically just starts memeing whenever he gives himself the shot.
- even though he’s a shape shifting demon, he still gets bad dysphoria days.
- at first, it’s usually lydia who helps him through these, and they usually end up cuddled together under a bunch of blankets, surrounded by snacks, watching crappy horror movies.
- once he starts dating the maitlands, they occasionally join the pile. however, they know that lydia understands it a bit more, and they make sure to give them Quality Time.
- the maitlands have their own ways of helping bj with bad days, though. they make sure to call him more masculine pet names, and they’ll lay in bed with him and compliment him on his masculine features when it’s too bad for him to even feel like getting out of bed.
- delia and charles usually leave it up to lydia and the maitlands in these days. however, they do tend to call him “mr. juice” on these days, and delia will compliment what he’s wearing wnd how masculine it is. (it may seem trivial/kinda stupid, but he Appreciates it a lot.)
- even though they’re shitty days, he really appreciates what everyone is doing for him.
- on really good days, he’ll show photos of him growing up. lydia usually joins in, and they’ll laugh at themselves pre-transition.
- pride is not ready for these two. they’ve definitely gone Full Feral at a bunch of parades, and they certainly will fight and transphobe/homophobe they come across.
- someone found out about lydia being trans, and tried to blackmail her. let’s just say beetlejuice gave the kid a night they’ll never forget. the kid was sadly still alive the next day, although they did apologize to lydia and never mentioned it again.
- bj has definitely run around the house yelling “WHERE’S MY DICK” as loud as he can whenever he misplaces his packer.
- edit: credit to the person who submitted the ask, @rustybutterknife , for this amazing edition: beetlejuice definitely has bad dragon packers. (if you don’t know what they are, google them at your own risk.)
- beej doesn’t have bottom surgery (yet) because he’s just a bit,,,, iffy about it, and he doesn’t typically have a huge amount of bottom dysphoria, and so just hasn’t gotten it.
- pride gear everywhere year round. however, the house is basically converted into one big conglomeration of pride flags during the month of june.
- at the end of the day, he couldn’t be happier. he has a family that loves and supports him, and would have his back when juno (eventually) came back.
i really hope you like them! some of these were based off of my experiences, so i hope you don’t mind lol. (i may try and make some doodles based off of these soon, but i have to see if i have time rip.)
thank you for sending in the suggestion!
having a hyperfixation feels like this image
oh boy, here it is, my overly complicated wing au!
this is going to be an extremely long post even if i simplify it, my original planning of this takes up 2 pages on my google docs rip
with that said, it’s showtime babey!
almost every demon has wings. those who don’t are extremely weak, and are seen as basically just common ghosts. now, (most) demons aren’t born with wings, as they start to develop based on a demon’s power level. they cannot grow after a demon has turned about 20 in human years, as that’s when they hit their majority and their powers stop developing.
to make it (sorta) easier for everyone, demons can be classified with a ranking from 0-4. rankings 0-1 have a very strict ranking, with wings what will not grow past a certain length and strength. ranks 2-4 are a bit variable with wing sizes and strength due to the great variability between the lower side of the ranking and the higher side of each ranking.
rank 0s are your wingless demons. they’re seen as highly inferior, and would have some of the lowest jobs in the netherworld. there is extremely rare cases of a rank 0 demon gaining some sort of social status, but its only happened a handful of times. their powers are only slightly stronger than your average ghost. some demons develop very small wings just before their majority hits, although they’re usually lumped in with the 0s as the power level is still relatively equal.
rank 1 demons can be categorized with wings no bigger than about a foot or so in length, and powers that are about that of a stronger ghost/poltergeist. their wings aren’t very useful for much more than bragging rights over rank 0s and other non-demonic creatures. they are the ones working more of the lower level “basic” jobs of the netherworld. their wings only grow in 6-8 months before their majority hits.
rank 2 demons are the last of the “average” demons, and is also where a good majority of demons fall. this is also where wings (kinda) start to grow proportionally with the body, although they’re usually only about 2-3 feet in length. they can be a tiny bit shorter or longer if the demon is unusually short or tall, however. their wings still aren’t very useful, however some of the demons at the top of the 2s can glide for very short periods of time. (they can only do this in the netherworld as that’s where they’re strongest.) the rest of the twos can use their wings to really only slow them down a bit if they’re falling from a high place. these higher 2s also start to leak into the social elites, although they’re extremely low on the hierarchy of the elites if they manage to make it. their wings start growing around 2-4 years before their majority. their powers are usually about the level of the weaker demons in human history, the ones who are kinda annoying, but pose no threat. in the netherworld, it’s a normal amount of power for a demon, and it’s equal to the power of a couple of poltergeists.
now, rank 3s are where it starts to get fun. a level 3’s wings proportionally allow for gliding, however not flying, except in the cases of some higher 3s, however the flight is exhausting, is only doable in short bursts, and can only be done in the netherworld. a lower level 3 can only glide for short periods of time, however the higher ranked in level 3 can glide for what seems indefinitely in the netherworld, and for long periods of time with breaks in the physical world. their wings start growing about 8-10 years before their majority, as they need time to develop muscles in the wings to be able to hold them up while gliding. these demons make up the whole lower class of the elites, with the lowest being around the same rank as the few upper 2s that make it, and the upper 3s being the top of the lower politicians and large business owners. the powers of a level 3 demon are the ones you hear about from lesser demons of legend.
4s are where lines get kinda blurred, as the only standout of the 4s is really just the most upper ranking of them. the lower to middle fours can fly for decent amounts of time in the netherworld, with however long they can fly being cut in half in the physical world. they make up your middle to upper elite, and their powers are about those strongest demons of legend in the physical world. their wings start developing anywhere from birth to about 5 years after their birth, with the most powerful basically being born with them. their wings develop early due to the fact that they need to stay basically proportional to the demon, and be strong enough to allow for flight. these demons are the middle ranked politicians, and own some of the largest corporations of the netherworld.
the upper 4s are the highest ranked a demon can be. they make up the top of the political scale, and they, along with some of the other 4s, basically rule the netherworld, as they hold the highest political positions, and own the largest companies. upper 4 demons can fly basically indefinitely in the netherworld, and can fly for extremely long times in the physical world. these are the 4s that are basically born with wings, as their power starts developing extremely early in order for them to be at the level they’re at. the true power of an upper 4 demon isn’t really known, and has no physical world equivalent due to them only using as much power as needed, and never more. if an upper 4 demon unleashed their full power on the physical world, it would likely cause a large amount of chaos and destruction. thankfully, a large majority of demons see the physical world as “inferior”, and breathers as nothing more than pests. the only upper level demon with any interest in the physical world is beetlejuice, and although he’s flashy, he (mostly) keeps his power in check.
in spite of all of this, all demons need a summons in order to use their power in the physical world, with the exception of the upper 4s, although using power to effect the physical world without a summons leaves them extremely exhausted, and unable to use any but the most basic of their powers until they rest to let their power regenerate.
demons can hide their wings as well, although most choose not to. those working with any sort of newlydead or breather usually hide their wing initially, as it much harder to deal with an (even more) panicked ghost/human. (this would explain why juno and beetlejuice aren’t originally known to have wings, as both were working with newlydeads and breathers at the time, giving them good cause to hide them.)
juno is also an upper 4, and although it may not seem like much, being in charge of the newlydead portion of the netherworld is a very big job, as it requires a lot of power to keep the ghosts in check, as their new ghostly powers run rampant in the netherworld, as that’s where the ghosts are strongest.
ok, so i think that’s about it for this au. i happen to really like wing aus, if y’all couldn’t tell lol. hope y’all like it though!
edit: thank you @theluckoftheclaws for bringing this to my attention. beej is a high level 4 just like juno! also, here’s some refs i made for the discord i originally made this in:
beetlejuice: alright, good. thanks dad.
barbara: you just called charles dad. you said “thanks dad”.
beetlejuice: what? no i didn’t. i said thanks man.
charles: do you see me as a father figure mr. juice?
beetlejuice: no. if anything i see you as a bother figure ‘cause you’re always bothering me.
adam: hey! show your father some respect.
(@beeblebouse gave me the idea)
i’m just gonna put this here, even though it’s in my about, because i’m a dumbass that forgets to switch accounts a lot: my main blog is d3adguyy, so if you see any replies to comments or stuff like that from that blog, it’s me being a Dumb who forgot to switch blogs.
same goes for random reblogs! i usually go back and delete most of them though, because i’m trying to keep this blog (mostly) on topic
Could you do some hcs about the maitlands just being amazing ghost parents to lydia?
absofuckinglutely.
- you’re gonna to bet that lydia always has the best projects in the school because adam insists on helping her
- both maitlands help lydia with her photo shoots, helping to make things “levitate” by holding them and stuff like that. (people still don’t know how she does it.)
- when lydia comes out to them (whether sexuality or gender) they take it all in stride - they make her something with whatever flag’s colors and give it to her. (she definitely does not cry)
- barbara helps her with her homework, because although lydia may really like science, she’s not a fan of most other subjects, and so has a tendency to not pay attention.
- the second lydia gets even slightly sick, both ghosts immediately start smothering her with blankets, tissues, and soup. (she acts annoyed, but secretly loves it)
- the maitlands may not be interested in or understand what the hell lydia is talking about, but you bet they’ll listen to her talk about it and try and learn more about it so that they can keep up with her
- lydia disclosed the fact that someone was bullying her at some point, and the next day in school was Not a good one for the bully. the maitlands deny everything (even though they definitely did enlist the help of beetlejuice and went to the school to Fuck Shit Up)
- they pick up on the little things! like knowing when to get lydia a blanket because she’s upset, when to steer clear of certain topics, and just small things like that.
- for their first joint christmas (or whatever holiday they celebrate,) lydia makes them both something. they cry, and they put them in the attic where they’ll always be able to see them. (they end up making a little space in the attic for everything lydia makes for them)
- they definitely came to parent-teacher night with the deetzs. (beej had to be there too so that the maitlands could, but didn’t cause trouble because the maitlands would’ve found some way to kill him again)
- they sometimes join in on lyds and bj’s schemes, so long as it won’t have any super bad consequences (maitlands 2.0 babey)
- although charles is like, yknow, her Dad dad, he respects the dynamic, and is just happy that his daughter has 2 more adults that care about her, and are positive role models for her (most of the time)
- at the end of the day, the ghost parents love their gothy breather child, and would die (again) for her in a heart beat.
i hope you like them! this is the first request i’ve ever done for headcanons, so i hope they’re good lol. thanks for sending in a request!
Scalding hot take apparently: if a demographic says “I don’t feel safe in the cisgendered heterosexual society, I need space in the LGBT community” and you say “I’m sorry, you’re not oppressed enough, get out” you’re a fucking asshole.
What this post is about;
Ace/aro people getting called “cishet”
Bisexuals getting called “straight passing”
Straight trans people getting told they’re not oppressed
What this post is not about;
Pedophiles
i just had to go to another party and left early because i almost cried. in honor of that, here’s more headcanons!
these are gonna be self-indulgent for the most part so sorry y’all
- lydia is not the best with social situations sometimes, so bj (and occasionally the maitlands) will come with her and help her out if she needs it
- lydia babysits sky on occasion (i put sky in the 11-12ish range, dunno if she has an official age) and let me tell you, that first meeting when lydia showed up at sky’s house was Interesting
- when bj and lydia find out that sky has arrhythmia, they feel Awful, and they try their best to be calm around her at all times. (after a while, they know what she can and can’t handle, so they’re a bit more lax. however, they’re ready to stop anything at a moments notice just in case)
- since adam and barbara are stuck in the house so much, they spend some time making things for charity. whether it’s making things for toy drives or knitting hats and scarves for winter, you bet they’re going to try their best to help out. (beetlejuice falls in love with them even more because they’re just so Good)
- beetlejuice is very much touch starved. he leans into any sort of positive touch, but has trouble asking for any sort of contact. (everyone in the house can recognize when he makes a little aborted move towards them, and will hug him or rub his arm or smth. he Appreciates it a lot)
- even though as a demon he’s pretty warm, he isn’t fully used to temperatures outside of the netherworld/hell, and will cuddle anyone/anything and/or pile himself under a lot of blankets. (during the summer he lays in the sun like a cat)
- hell isnt really the hell people think it is, it’s really just the residential part of the netherworld that houses mostly demons, and it’s Really Fucking Hot
- beetlejuice chews on everything (product of having actual Fangs that he needs to keep in check.) everyone in the house has caught him chewing something that he definitely Was Not supposed to be chewing at least once.
- they eventually buy teething rings for the bastard. (he loves them a lot)
- charles and beetlejuice don’t really get along for the most part. however, beetlejuice helps charles make real estate sales by “haunting” some of the clients other options. (is it illegal? yes. do they care? not really.)
- bj likes playing instruments, and is actually pretty good at most of them.
- beetlejuice’s first real christmas is spent with the deetzs and maitlands. he definitely cries when people give him his gifts.
- beej spends months working on hand crafted christmas gifts (as he doesn’t think they’d appreciate stolen ones) and everyone is very happy (some of them teared up, although they’ll never admit it)
- delia definitely sees beetlejuice as some weird, loud, stoner son. she’s slipped and called him son occasionally (and beetlejuice legit cried the first time)
- charles secretly considers the same, although he would never admit it. (bj accidentally slips up and calls him dad at some point, and the following conversation is basically the “bother figure” bit from b99)
- when beetlejuice is summoned and in the physical plane, he occasionally will turn his look more “human” to take lydia places. he’s introduced as her older brother who’s visiting from college (he attends juliard, of course)
- when the deetzs re-did the house, they installed radiant heat in the kitchen floor. anyone walking into the kitchen has to be very careful where they’re walking, and beetlejuice has a tendency to lay on the floor when the heat is on and take naps.
oof i think that’s it for now. i know these are all super random but like,,,, whatever. hope y’all like these as well.
i have another long explanation for an au that i’m typing up, so i’ll put that up sometime soon, hopefully.
