Future Vision (S1E39) / Steven Universe Future Finale

Hot take:

OG Movie!Beetlejuice: A sewer rat. Disgusting gremlin. Bites peoples’ fingers off. Has so many disease. Gives other respectable rats a bad name. Still houses fleas that carry the bubonic plague.

Animated Series!Beetlejuice: A ferret. Precocious little spooky noodle but still loving and soft. Gets into mischief but never wants to hurt anyone. Stinky. Likes being held.

Musical!Beetlejuice: A raccoon. Adorable and round and soff. Bad with humans, hisses often. Eats garbage regularly. Only washes hands, the rest of him is filthy, so his claws always look cute.

This is the tea

Beetlebabes Discourse

You know there’s been something on my mind for a while recently and I think it’s about time I actually put it on Tumblr. In my opinion I believe that if Lydia was a boy or if Beetlejuice was a woman or Beej was conventionally attractive at all I don’t think that people would have that much of a problem with the ship. Because seriously I’m pretty sure that if it was gay in any sense then people would not care at all then again there are some people who don’t like Sebastian and Ciel together which I can understand with that, but still I’m pretty sure it probably won’t get as nearly as much hate as it does now. Same thing goes for if Beetlejuice was conventionally attractive. Like don’t get me wrong Michael Keaton and Alex Brightman are very very handsome men and I know that more people gravitate more towards the musical version of Beetlejuice because they think Alex is very very attractive but you also have to take in the fact that they have to put on a lot of make up Michael especially had to do a lot because he had the rotting teeth and his skin was white and had moss everywhere on him, which makes sense since he is supposed to be a rotting corpse but still I really think that if I didn’t have that much make up on either of them then people probably wouldn’t have that much of a problem with it. Take Twilight for example now I love twilight but I do you know that people have their problems with it because they say that Edward is very creepy because he admitted to watching Bella in her sleep and stalking her. But that doesn’t change that they still end up together and also that Edward is over 100 years old and Bella is 17 at the start of the series. Another good example is Buffy the Vampire Slayer, now I will admit I haven’t seen all of Buffy and it has been a while since I’ve seen it but I do remember that Angel is I believe several thousand years older than Buffy, who is 16 at the start of the series. They then break up and then over time she ends up with Spike a vampire who has a literally try to kill her on more than one occasion prior to them dating. My last example is the anime Inuyasha yes he is physically around the same age as Kagome who’s 15 but, you have to remember that he is 500 years older than her and there’s also the people who ship her with his older brother Seeshomaru, who is 700 years older than her, and he’s about physically maybe 19-20 years old. The same thing also goes with his love interest Rin but that’s a whole other can of worms that I’m not going to get into today. The point is that all of these guy are physically attractive and as I said above I do believe that if Beetlejuice was physically attractive and we probably won’t have a lot of people hating on the ship, same goes for if it was gay that’s my two-cents on the matter. You can civilly dicuss it in the comments or send me asks on the matter.

that beautiful sound reprise with will blum

Yeetlejuice

Non-lethal methods of subduing an assailant should be encouraged over lethal methods. 

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
