#like with the wiccan thing

[juicedbeetle]

I know everyone already figured this probably but I hadn't paid attention before to when beej exactly takes his coat off and I was curious, so I'm pleased to report that he left it somewhere in the kitchen

not to mention he is briefly alone with adam in the kitchen while he was there getting the stuff for the sandwich

leaving aside my contemplation about how beej cannot affect the world of the living so those aren't coke, popcorn and 3d glasses he found in their house (probably manifested them himself the same way he takes the coat off. possibly from his mary poppins ass jacket, like with the mic) I like to think that he thought about getting them so he could snack alongside them, other than the obvious "upcoming show aka their death" use, not to mention the fact itself that he takes his coat off makes it feel like the mait's house is his as well, since you usually do it when you arrive home.

hell, I think he doesn't even need a coat whatsoever and just

started doing the "taking it off when I'm home" ritual because he saw adam doing it.

and in general I love this whole beginning part where he just acts like their house is his own, goes into their other rooms to do who knows what (first alone to the left then with adam in the kitchen), sits on their furniture like he owns the place, knows it like the back of his hand

actually I get the feeling that despite the fact he sat down first, he's also imitating adam here, like it's something the guy does all the time so beetlejuice has the whole thing memorized by now. but that's just speculation anyway.

I just get sad because I think he was really excited to meet them and already knew them really well, like he's not lying when he calls them friends, he's known them intimately for 10+ years (and, yes, it's been very creepy). he's lived with them and gotten used to this warm sitcom-y feel and then when they actually meet him they're terrified. Rightfully so but, ouch.

like, nothing goes like he planned right from the start, not just because they're not scary (and I mean, his whole plan was... to have them scare the new house inhabitants into saying his name? and then what? great plan beetleboose great thinking ahead there, a mastermind really), but because they didn't just magically act like his new best friends like he hoped and probably made up in his mind for all those years 😵‍💫

I mean, for all his solitude... the guy totally talks to himself. all the time. that is just a given to me. even besides the clones, the hand thing in say my name, the soliloquy, the guy probably had full fledged conversations. I can hardly imagine how many times he fantasized about talking to the maits for the first time in very elaborate scenarios in his head not to mention participated to all their conversations in the same way he does in this beginning segment and basically took it for granted that they'd enjoy his company same way he enjoys theirs, that is to say, the idealized version of their company he created in his head. siiigh, I love this whole part a lot, you can tell.

#beetlejuice #beetlejuice musical #woobification tag #headcanon #in which i rant for far too long and not make any sense and slowly lose it but so does beej so im never beating the kin allegations #anyway i really did just wanted to figure out when he took the coat off then the post devolved because im insane but. it was in the kitchen #ALSO NOT TO MENTION WHEN BEEJ ACTUALLY MEETS THEM HE ALSO THINKS. THEY ARE JUST. A TINY BIT ANNOYING. JUST A LITTLE #not that he doesn't want to be friends they just say things that get on his nerves #like with the wiccan thing #he hadn't realized that when they can Answer Back to his words. they can say things that aren't His Imagined Perfect Responses #and he hatessss that. what do you mean you have thoughts and aren't an extension of myself? you say things I didn't expect you to??? #and annoying things too???? you are a different person than my self projection on you???? ridiculous. unbelievable

I really don't know if I'm even talking about the same thing as other people here on tumblr when I talk about magic, cause when I think of it, I think mostly of "folk magic". The magic of everyday cultural traditions, the stuff that is often branded "superstition".

I don't know what makes people think that you need any special preparation or education or training in order to do all this stuff. There's nothing secret about it, and nothing complicated. And unless you engage in behaviors that physically/mentally harm you, I don't see what dangers could possibly be involved.

But also I think people overcomplicate the whole thing. You don't need any sort of special tools. You don't need to spend money on any of this. Literally all you need is the knowledge of what you're trying to achieve and a clear idea of what you are trying to practice. And please, let's stop acting like "trivial" activities are excluded from this. The same goes for what you desire to achieve with these activities. Nothing is too trivial of a need/desire. You are hoping for the bus to arrive on time tomorrow? That's a perfectly fine thing to want out of whatever you're about to practice!

I think as a whole, the pagan community needs to get their heads out of the clouds a bit and ground themselves and their practices. As cliche as it sounds, y'all need to touch more grass again. It's a hands-on spirituality, after all.

And genuinely, the gatekeeping and mystification of it all has to stop. There's no secrets, no exclusivity, no sacrilege, no entry barriers in paganism, no scholars, and no knowledge is off-limits.

It's the religion of the common folk. You do not need to read any books about it, you don't need anyone to interpret for you, or follow anyone's directions on how to practice this or that. And if you feel like there's nothing tangible about your paganism, if you find yourself having to believe in things rather than simply experiencing them.... it's time to ask yourself who indoctrinated you with such ideas.

Interesting how many people who insist on using Lilith as their whatever deity feminist girlboss are actually just TERFS, not even misled wiccanized witches

#it's almost like they're racist and always have been along with all the other vile things #goyim may reblog but DO NOT CLOWN #lilith #take the name lilith out of your usernames challenge #terfs dni #radfems dni #goyishe wiccans the do not clown thing applies to you too bc of what your religion is and if not learn bout that + move past appropriation

Nobody asked and I don’t really care, but here is a playlist of over 24 hours of music that makes me, at least, feel like a Viking. Specifically, like a pagan Viking running naked through the woods chasing deer.

https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/norse-pagan-playlist/pl.u-NpXm9LGumb4kJ3

If someone wants to like recreate this in Spotify I wouldn’t be mad.

Also, yeah, I listen to these while I do… well, pretty much everything. But yes, rituals 😉

PS- you have to have Apple Music to access it. Don’t be mad! That’s just where I listen to music 😭

@fatummortem sent: “   My off putting looks, awkward demeanor, and strange behavior have captivated you. ” (Billy @ Teddy?)

ㅤㅤㅤTeddy can (mostly) tell that his boyfriend is kidding, but he also knows that Billy's self deprecating humor tends to carry -- at its core -- some kernel of some self-held truth. Turning, the Alien sets down the chunk of rubble he'd been clearing off the courthouse steps, peering at Wiccan curiously.

ㅤㅤㅤ"...Everything about you has captivated me." He says, as if it is the most obvious truth in the universe. Perhaps it is. "--And I like the parts of you that are awkward and strange the best."

ㅤㅤㅤBut what's this about Off-putting Looks? Has Billy forgotten how to work a mirror?? Teddy claps the dust off his palms, shooting his boyfriend a rueful look, "... you know you're like... extremely attractive... right?"

I am absolutely begging y'all to realize that "celtic" and "gaelic" are not interchangeable terms

#especially in terms of paganism and culture. wicca has massively fucked that too #but then at the same time a lot of y'all use paganism and wicca interchangeably too #i am once again asking people with minimal occult knowledge and/or christian / former christian now atheist upbringings to please just #don't. just don't okay unless you've actually spent time researching anything in relation to paganism please don't speak on it i'm so tired #like i would still consider myself to be in the introductory stages of gaelic paganism but that's after like #two years of cultural and religious research. so i'm not speaking as someone who thinks they're an expert in these fields #but you know what makes that research harder? #having to sift through every celtic or wiccan thing mislabeled ''gaelic paganism'' like they are not synonymous #i am not wiccan. my form of paganism falls under the greater umbrella of celtic culture #but celtic paganism is the equivalent of ''christianity'' #christianity includes hundreds of sects including catholicism‚ mormonism‚ protestants‚ quakers‚ fundamentalists... the list goes on #like celtic paganism is much more loose and less defined. and is still not comparable to wicca #wicca is honestly Religious Appropriation‚ The Religion. it bastardizes celtic‚ germanic‚ greek‚ and roman paganisms #along with taking from major religions like judaism‚ hinduism‚ buddhism‚ islam‚ and even christianity! #it is NOT comparable to paganism. it is NOT one in the same. #just. god i'm so tired of this kind of shit i really wish someone would write a guide for all this shit #'cause i know it's not out of malicious intent but when you call someone that's desperately trying to recover their culture #from violent protestantism and its offshoots along with decades of active genocide by the english a ''wiccan'' and use it interchangably #with ''gaelic paganism'' it's like. it's like saying the irish and the english are the same thing like. that's insulting. #i know it's not on purpose but it's still insulting. #okay i'm done rambling in the tags sorry i'm tired

the death of art the death of education the death of childhood the death of narrative the birth of christ as we believed he was a zombie and our father

#talks #anyway im having some sort of reaction to seeing a lot of people discussing the collective trauma of gen z #as it correlates to nostalgia for corporate products and the exploitation of children #i feel odd being in this position as i feel like ive already emotionally unpacked this with introspection of my own childhood experiences #and current day struggles with parental abuse & emotional neglect #but what im mostly scared of is the idea that people will refuse to reclaim what once brought them joy through a dark period #as well as a loss of hope that im starting to see manifest in real life and on social media #the last thing id want is for people to give up on art because of what they fear may happen if they do #if somebody gets hurt because of it #keep it in your mind that ​hollywood was built on voyerism and exploitation #(aside—please read laura mulvey’s visual pleasure & narrative cinema) #(and bell hooks oppositional gaze) #but personally im not waiting on any internship applications so I can one day make it to LA and maybe get my cartoon produced #with 500 pages of censorship notes from S&P #im making my cartoon now because ive worked hard to get here and i have the resources to do it #it will be free for everybody to watch on youtube. i just want people to see it and have a good time with it #also i might just be wiccan now

Me, a Scot: Oh so 4x07 is going to have a character named Samhain, that’s neat, I wonder if they’ll say it the Scottish way or the Irish way

Top-billed CW actors Jensen Ross AckIes and Jared Tristan PadaIecki, saying it: SAM HAYNE

Me, a Scot:

#Spn #4x07 #It’s SAH-vin by the way. At least in Scottish Gaelic #The “mh” makes a V sound (roughly) #In Irish Gaelic it’s SA-win I believe but I’m not as familiar there #Irish comrades feel free to chime in <3 #My posts #Scotlandnatural #It’s not that I’m surprised this farce of a show didn’t research how to correctly pronounce the word but it’s just one more imbecilic thing #To say nothing of Sam’s description of Samhainn as a holiday lmfaooo #Also I’m very aware this is far from the worst adaptational affront the show has done with non-Christian cultures. Like I’m also desi #An entire half of my family is Hindu. I did unfortunately witness Hammer of the Gods #To say nothing of every other butchered culture and traditional beliefs this show fucked over in some deeply upsetting ways #But every end of October I spend on here I ALWAYS remember 4x07 and having to listen to those Texas men #say SAM HAYNE #repeatedly. So here we are lol #To be clear I’m not a pagan or Wiccan or anything I have a passing interest in historical Celtic paganism but that’s about it

“Came out with my piss kink” like it’s the same as coming out as queer

eh I've fairly often heard people say "coming out" referring to kinks, secrets, just opening up about something, etc. as a queer person myself I'm really not bothered by just using the phrase "coming out" as long as you aren't genuinely drawing comparison between the two but that's of course just my feelings.

#now 'coming out of the x' i feel differently about like when wiccans were saying 'coming out of the broom closet' back in the day but #yeah that isnt the same thing imo. #anon #ask

#Standing on the edge #Of major life decisions #I've always secretly been interested in spells crystals magic fantasy etc #But was raised Christian #Like I know God is real thru personal experience #It's nothing someone told me #But I don't buy into the fundamentalist evangelical scheme #Aka Bible is literally Everything™ #I see a lot of things wrong in the church #Those people Jesus was pissed at 2000 years ago never left #They're still judgemental self-righteous assholes #And you know #The Jesus I know won't condemn me for being gay #Or for loving crystals and using them in healing #I just wonder... #Should I still call myself a Christian #When Wiccan ideals tickle my fancy #And I'm on the edge of telling God #Let me be free #Personal #tw religion mention #tw swearing in tags

me: my yiling laozu playlist has to be done by now, right? surely there aren’t any other songs that capture the specific nostalgic anger and resolute resignation one feels at building a new home as isolated from society as possible because you’ve been forced to become the monster everyone always accuses you of being?

me: …

#i’ll make a mistress of a little wiccan thing aka housewife lan zhan #shut up sadie #this song has so much Wei Ying energy like jfc

So I’ve been enjoying the Disney vs. DeSantis memes as much as anyone, but like. I do feel like a lot of people who had normal childhoods are missing some context to all this.

I was raised in the Bible Belt in a fairly fundie environment. My parents were reasonably cool about some things, compared to the rest of my family, but they certainly had their issues. But they did let me watch Disney movies, which turned out to be a point of major contention between them and my other relatives.

See, I think some people think this weird fight between Disney and fundies is new. It is very not new. I know that Disney’s attempts at inclusion in their media have been the source of a lot of mockery, but what a lot of people don’t understand is that as far as actual company policy goes, Disney has actually been an industry leader for queer rights. They’ve had policies assuring equal healthcare and partner benefits for queer employees since the early 90s.

I’m not sure how many people reading this right now remember the early 90s, but that was very much not industry standard. It was a big deal when Disney announced that non-married queer partners would be getting the same benefits as the married heterosexual ones.

Like — it went further than just saying that any unmarried partners would be eligible for spousal benefits. It straight-up said that non-same-sex partners would still need to be married to receive spousal benefits, but because same-sex partners couldn’t do that, proof that they lived together as an established couple would be enough.

In other words, it put long-term same-sex partners on a higher level than opposite-sex partners who just weren’t married yet. It put them on the exact same level as heterosexual married partners.

They weren’t the first company ever to do this, but they were super early. And they were certainly the first mainstream “family-friendly” company to do it.

Conservatives lost their damn minds.

Protests, boycotts, sermons, the whole nine yards. I can’t tell you how many books about the evils of Disney my grandmother tried to get my parents to read when I was a kid.

When we later moved to Florida, I realized just how many queer people work at Disney — because historically speaking, it’s been a company that has guaranteed them safety, non-discrimination, and equal rights. That’s when I became aware of their unofficial “Gay Days” and how Christians would show up from all over the country to protest them every year. Apparently my grandmother had been upset about these days for years, but my parents had just kind of ignored her.

Out of curiosity, I ended up reading one of the books my grandmother kept leaving at our house. And friends — it’s amazing how similar that (terrible, poorly written) rhetoric was to what people are saying these days. Disney hires gay pedophiles who want to abuse your children. Disney is trying to normalize Satanism in our beautiful, Christian America. 

Just tons of conspiracy theories in there that ranged from “a few bad things happened that weren’t actually Disney’s fault, but they did happen” to “Pocahontas is an evil movie, not because it distorts history and misrepresents indigenous life, but because it might teach children respect for nature. Which, as we all know, would cause them all to become Wiccans who believe in climate change.”

Like — please, take it from someone who knows. This weird fight between fundies and Disney is not new. This is not Disney’s first (gay) rodeo. These people have always believed that Disney is full of evil gays who are trying to groom and sexually abuse children.

The main difference now is that these beliefs are becoming mainstream. It’s not just conservative pastors who are talking about this. It’s not just church groups showing up to boycott Gay Day. Disney is starting to (reluctantly) say the quiet part out loud, and so are the Republicans. Disney is publicly supporting queer rights and announcing company-supported queer events and the Republican Party is publicly calling them pedophiles and enacting politically driven revenge.

This is important, because while this fight has always been important in the history of queer rights, it is now being magnified. The precedent that a fight like this could set is staggering. For better or for worse, we live in a corporation-driven country. I don’t like it any more than you do, and I’m not about to defend most of Disney’s business practices. But we do live in a nation where rights are largely tied to corporate approval, and the fact that we might be entering an age where even the most powerful corporations in the country are being banned from speaking out in favor of rights for marginalized people… that’s genuinely scary.

Like… I’ll just ask you this. Where do you think we’d be now, in 2023, if Disney had been prevented from promising its employees equal benefits in 1994? That was almost thirty years ago, and look how far things have come. When I looked up news articles for this post from that era, even then journalists, activists, and fundie church leaders were all talking about how a company of Disney’s prominence throwing their weight behind this movement could lead to the normalization of equal protections in this country.

The idea of it scared and thrilled people in equal parts even then. It still scares and thrills them now.

I keep seeing people say “I need them both to lose!” and I get it, I do. Disney has for sure done a lot of shit over the years. But I am begging you as a queer exvangelical to understand that no. You need Disney to win. You need Disney to wipe the fucking floor with these people.

Right now, this isn’t just a fight between a giant corporation and Ron DeSantis. This is a fight about the right of corporations to support marginalized groups. It’s a fight that ensures that companies like Disney still can offer benefits that a discriminatory government does not provide. It ensures that businesses much smaller than Disney can support activism.

Hell, it ensures that you can support activism.

The fight between weird Christian conspiracy theorists and Disney is not new, because the fight to prevent any tiny victory for marginalized groups is not new. The fight against the normalization of othered groups is not new.

That’s what they’re most afraid of. That each incremental victory will start to make marginalized groups feel safer, that each incremental victory will start to turn the tide of public opinion, that each incremental victory will eventually lead to sweeping law reform.

They’re afraid that they won’t be able to legally discriminate against us anymore.

So guys! Please. This fight, while hilarious, is also so fucking important. I am begging you to understand how old this fight is. These people always play the long game. They did it with Roe and they’re doing it with Disney.

We have! To keep! Pushing back!
