Beetlebabey - Just A Beetlebabe

small comic I made :)

Update: Where I’ve been

Okay so this post is gonna be just a quick update on where I’ve been considering that I haven’t posted in a very long time.

So the reason I’ve been inactive for so long is that I just lost the motivation to post anything, I’ve also been dealing with a lot of personal things that I’m not comfortable going into, one of the main reasons is that I’ve just kind of drifted from the beetlejuice fandom, I still ship beetlebabes and love all beetlejuice media but I’ve somehow just drifted from the fandom.

Another thing I feel like mentioning is that my main fandom has changed to a fandom I feel very comfortable in and have made friends in, I haven’t made many friends in the beetlejuice let along beetlebabes fandom but I doesn’t mean I didn’t feel welcome, the babes have been so welcoming and the community they’ve helped build for other beetlebabes shippers is amazing and so kind to others in the community. 

This isn’t a goodbye post of any means to the community, It’s just an update post on where I’ve been while I haven’t post for so long. This isn’t the end of my blog either or even a change in theme because I will be back and posting a lot of beetlebabes content very soon Including edits, fanfiction, and of course one of my favourite kinds of post headcanons.

So until my next post I’ll see you guys again very soon and thank you for reading this post and following my blog.

In which I gush over beetlejuice’s suit for too many paragraphs

Ok kiddies, enough talk about ship wars, time to do up a thing I’ve been wanting to talk about for a while

If you’ve peeked at my side blog you may already know this, but outside of being a slut for our resident dirty boi I’m a cosplayer and proffesional costumer, so I care Way too much about what characters are wearing and Brightman Beej’s costume is just.. it’s so exquisite and I need to gush about it

At first glance, it may seem like it’s just a recreation of the suit as it’s always been but there are a lot of beautiful subtle details that really make this version shine. Let’s look at the other versions for comparison

Let’s start with Keaton. It’s worth remembering that ketaon’s beetlejuice does *not* wear this suit for a lot of screentime (he actually doesnt have a lot of screentime in the film but even percentage wise). He oscillates wildly into lots of different looks, this is just the one that’s become the most iconic and for good reason. In the film hes specifically wearing this when lydia finally frees him and he raises hell. This is the most well kept hes been in the entire movie to this point, so it gives off kind of a huckster showman/used car salesman vibe. Peep the 37 watches hes wearing for some reason lol. It’s still dirty and dusty, but in comparison to Brightman Beej it’s pretty pristine. This beetlejuice is much more confident and, for lack of a better word, more polished

Now let’s look at animated Beej. The cartoon is really what solidified the idea of the striped suit as being his default outfit. He still wears other outfits when they’re doing a specialized thing or when he shapeshifts into other people like Betty juice, but 99 percent of the time hes a stripey boi. Still with very clean and defined lines.

This is also where purple gets more definitively added to his color scheme. Keaton has the purple around his eyes but that’s pretty much it, animated bj has the addition of the snazzy magenta shirt, plus his skin being purple. This locks in the bj color palette of black, white, purple, and green

Now let’s talk about this little gremlin

Musical meetlejuice is in many ways a cross pollination of his 2 dads. He gets the green hair tint from Keaton, and the subtle purples in his makeup from cartoon beej. But he also has a lot that’s only his

Look again at the stripes on keaton’s suit

Now look at the fabric for Broadway beej

The stripes are dirty, grungy, irregular. His suit is dirtier, there are rips and hanging strings. Brightman beej is a much more insecure, messy character and his stripes reflect this. It gives off a vibe that’s more anarchic punk than showman.

Also look at the difference in fit between the 2 suits. The jacket is less fitted on brightman and the sleeves are so long that in some positions they almost hang over his hands. Combine this with the nail polish, brightman having a baby face (hes also like 10 years younger than Keaton was when he took the role) and it all adds up to make him a more youthful. He looks like a little boy in his dads clothes, which he basically is character wise lol

Another really interesting thing I noticed when watching the boot (its nft and I’m not posting caps from it again and causing another issue lol) is a really neat element they added. Obviously brightman cant do the same level of changes in live theater, and initially I thought it was a trick of the lighting but then I saw this snap of the costume designs and it confirmed it to me

His costume changes color a few times throughout the show! Most of the time his tie and hair is green, but when hes on the roof during invisible reprise (ie when hes sad) that color shifts to purple, and when hes being a full on evil bastard at the exorcism it switches to a red color. He literally wears his feelings on his sleeve and it really beautifully illustrates what a sensitive little puppydog he is.

I just…. guys I love this costume design so dang much

That fact that I could see this happening with them on a daily basis makes this so much funnier

DISCLAIMER!!! This is not a ship post, and the original poster doesn't want it tagged as Beetlebabes

BJ: Ow! My armkle!

Charles:  Your what?

Lydia *sighing*: His wrist

Alex Brightman goes from chaotic hell demon to precious baby boy in .2 seconds and I love him,,, so much for it
