I recently discovered an old beetlejuice au of mine and bc i'm kinda bored i'm gonna explain it here :>
(^ my friend made this for me cuz i couldn't draw for shit back then but these are the old design. I dunno if i should change them or keep them this way so y'all can decide)
The au starts with a bored reader that who decides to summon their friend Beetlejuice (Alex) but instead of just him showing up 2 others that look just like him but slightly different appear too. The other two explain that they come from another universe and aren't supposed to be there. Reader helps them find a way back to their old universe. Because it's so confusing for all of you that they're all called beetlejuice you give them the names Justin, Will and Alex. As the story progresses reader develops a crush on all of them but doesn't tell them untill Will and Justin find a way back. When reader told them they confessed that they all felt the same way. Both of them decide to stay for a little longer before finally returning to their own universes. They do visit you and Alex often tho
Characters:
Will
He might be tired 24/7 but that doesn't mean he can't cause trouble. He is the tamest one of the three tho. Switch but bottom most of the time. The second tallest off all of you, he's about 6ft :3 Often picks either you or Alex up to cuddle with. He doesn't do it with Justin cuz when he tried Justin freaked out and bitch slapped him across the face.
Alex
This motherfucker never sleeps. The chaotic gremlin of the bunch. Justin constantly teases him because he's so short (5ft 7 inches) will absolutely adores the fact that he's so small tho. Defenetly a top but wouldn't mind being bottom. He's clingy as fuck and loves it when Will picks him up. He either hangs on the side of the bed or lays on top of one of you if he does sleep (so not often)
Justin
The only one Reader trusts to use a stove. This guy is tall as hell about 6'4. Switch but tops alot. Always reminds everyone of the stuff they need to do. Him and Alex always prank everyone that steps foot in the house. Wine aunt vibes at first but turns out to be more of a cool older cousin. Know all the drama around everyone. I mean this guy lives for drama me too dude
Reader
Is like a babysitter to them. They love them but for the love of god give this dude a break. Second shortest coming in at about 5'10. Preffers being a bottom but love seeing Alex and Will melt under them. Talks about how much they love Alex, Will and Justin but that they're so exausting sometimes to Lydia and the Maitlands. Touch starved me too
That's all for now ^w^ i think i might write a short fic on this au
I really like the differences between all the musical beetlejuices and i kinda wanna point out my thoughts on them. just some brain vomit.
(i haven’t seen much of koberjuice so i won’t speak abt him much.)
Alexjuice IS beetlejucie. He’s perfectly made for the role. He’s what i think abt when i think abt bjtm, yknow? No one really talks abt how his beetlejuice IS SCARY LOOKING. he’s the scariest of them all. Like all the others look like a dead guy. sure. but alexjuice is acc scary looking- he has the creepy faces nailed. he has creepy mannerisms and gestures. iykwim.
Justinjuice is my fav. I think he’s charming- but not in the same way as Alexjuice. He’s not as scary, but he pulls off angry beetlejuice really REALLY well. Justinjucie is like,,, more broody?? He broods. His voice is deeper and i think his acting is very satisfying to watch. Exaggerated but not overly flamboyant? if that makes sense.
Blumjuice is cuter. No one really talks about him. He focuses more on singing than the voice which is kinda refreshing. He’s cartoon like alex but not scary. His facial expressions are smooth and i really like how he jumps around. I feel the chemistry between him and the rest of the cast more. It feels like he’s full of more energy than the others. (not like the others have no energy but like blum is a very active beetlejuice. like.. he’s silly.)
Koberjuice, i know nearly nothing about. I kinda just like how the costume looks on him- he embodies demon grunkle. i love that. (again sorry. idk much about kober. i gotta find a show of his to watch.)
ANYWAYS. this is just a little ramble to myself. Ik that this is probably sooo grammatically incorrect. IM JUST SPILLING MY THOUGHTS. this prolly makes no sense to anyone reading it, sos!!!
Don’t stifle his creativity, Lydia. He’s doin’ a sneak his own way.
Look, this one gave me very little to work with on top of the already very long day I had to deal with so…here ya go. The next few days should not be nearly as hard to nail down, at least, and I have a plan for all but the last 2 days. So ye.
Alex Brightman (Beetlejuice), Elizabeth Teeter (Lydia Deetz), Natalie Charle Ellis (u/s Barbara Maitland), David Josefsberg (Adam Maitland), Adam Dannheisser (Charles Deetz), Leslie Rodriguez Kritzer (Delia Deetz), Michelle Aravena (Miss Argentina), Will Blum (u/s Otho), Danny Rutigliano (Maxie Dean), Brooke Leigh Engen (u/s Maxine Dean/Juno), Dana Steingold (Girl Scout), Eric Anthony Johnson (s/w Ensemble), Sean McManus (t/r Ensemble)
Notes:
Very good capture of Nat as Barbara! some shakiness throughout but not too bad. some washout is seen throughout but nothing enough to take away from the video. Nat is absolutely fantastic as Barbara and she proves to be the absolute best and most underrated cast member. Also has Will Blum as Otho, but only as Otho. Eric Anthony Johnson plays all the ensemble parts Will should be playing for the Otho track. This causes some issues in songs with big ensemble parts such as beautiful sound and the reprise where a clone is missing. Overall a fantastic capture of a 'new' Barbara u/s.

Notes:
Fantastic capture of Wicked. a head blocks some action in the bottom right at times but I work around it so not much is missed. Washout is inevitable on Elphaba in some scenes like defying gravity, unfortunately. Yando was a great Boq and was very adorable in the role. Talia and Brittney slay the house down together where I get goosebumps throughout.
