I Think It's Time To Clarify My Point Of View Before I Start Being Considered Weirder Than I Am. Since

I think it's time to clarify my point of view before I start being considered weirder than I am. Since we are talking about Disney pairings here, I will also give examples of the same (mostly).

Yes, again, I ship Luke and Jessie, but there are reasons for that.

I started watching "Jessie" for Cameron, so it makes sense that I'd be more interested in his character. I watched "Game's Guide" the same way.

This pairing didn't just come out of nowhere because we know for sure that Luke is in love with Jessie. For the same reason I ship Conor and Ash, Carlos and Jane.

Age difference? It's not the worst thing in the world. The love/hate trope pairings raise a lot more questions for me (except Penny and Talon, but they never hated each other, their clashes were caused by being on different sides). Moreover, Disney often uses actors with age differences in their couples.

Does Jessie have a boyfriend? He did. In words. My problem is that I'd like to ship Tony and Jessie, but he isn't a good boyfriend. The character appears in a small number of episodes, and if he does, he makes you want to turn off the episode. His jealousy was terrible and I definitely wouldn't want to see my boyfriend throw noodles at my friend.

As for their breakup... Here I can remember Austin and Ally's breakup. Yes, different reasons, but Austin continued to be the best person for Ally, as she was for him. Tony wasn't a good friend to Jessie (movie shooting episode).

Brooks? He was a worry to me. No guy is perfect, and he seemed too good. I'm so glad Jessie didn't marry him.

If we put aside the sometimes weird humor of this show, it's not a bad picture. The writers could have kept Luke's crush a joke for an episode or a season, but it continued until the end. So it was on purpose. Jessie and Luke work great as a team, and I still love the laser tag episode. In the episode "Jessie's Big Break", it was Luke who defended Jessie's honor to the director. The dance in the episode "Punch Dumped Love" makes me smile forever. Luke was ready to quit the dance club when he found out that the coach had only been making fun of Jessie and Bertram all this time.

However, most likely, you still won’t understand me.

not to be absolutely abnormal about beetlebabes again but they're everything to me.

I keep thinking about the way he looks at her and I could analyse every SCENE with the two of them where he's always looking at her with this softer expression??

HE DOESNT LOOK AT ANYONE ELSE THE WAY HE LOOKS AT HER!

He truly loves her, he truly is in love with her and he is willing to wait milleniums for her and I'm so! I'm so so in love with them.

Betelgeuse and marriage theory

A Beetlejuice head-canon/theory I have (It's somewhat "Beauty & The Beast" coded 🌹🥀).

Having died poisoned on his wedding night, Betelgeuse's soul is bound by the ritual of marriage.

We already know he will be able to reenter the mortal world if he marries a living person (due to the rules of the afterlife and whatnot), but here's where my head-canon starts:

Bound to the ritual of marriage, if he marries someone he loves, who truly love him back, dead or alive, his soul will be freed and he will be able to pass on to the great beyond next to his beloved (once his beloved passes away as well, assuming she happens to be currently alive *hint hint*). This person has to wear Delores' ring and accept and love Betelgeuse as is. She has to fall in love with his soul. Only loving him truly, wearing the ring, and sealing the deal with a kiss will release him, and that way, in the end, both his soul and his beloved's (it has got to be Lydia, please) can move on peacefully into the great beyond and exist without curses or attachments.

Totally a fantasy in my head because there's no way something like this would happen in canon much to the sadness of my little heart lol, but I thought I'd share it with you all. And who knows, maybe if there's a third movie they will explore what it is about Betelgeuse's character that is so attached to the concept of marriage. Because, listen, maybe the ritual where a ghost marries a living person and can materialize in the living world is something that is bound to the rules of the afterlife, and detailed in the Manual for the Recently Deceased, but the symbols and ritual of marriage is something intrinsic to the character of Betelgeuse itself.

He died on his wedding night, for starters. He was tricked by Delores and fell for her immediately. One could argue he fell quickly because she is so gorgeous and no doubt manipulated him into believing she loved him, and that's definitely part of it, but also, (and I have no doubt about this one), he believed her and fell for her immediately because Betelgeuse wants to be loved. He's a romantic underneath it all, and he wants to love and be loved. He might have been desiring it for a long time, failing to find love throughout his life until he met Delores.

He may exude self-confidence (maybe even to a delulu extent lol) and present himself in this very raunchy way, but inside, I'm sure he desires a genuine love; he wants to love someone and be loved truly. And he died, murdered by his bride on the night of his wedding. Betelgeuse was murdered on the night that should have been the happiest of his life, and his desire for love and a wedding stayed with him beyond the grave, now stained with blood and betrayal and a curse that can only be broken, in my head-canon/theory, by marrying someone who truly loves him, whom he truly loves.

Marriage is definitely a very important theme in Beetlejuice, so it'd be interesting if there's something more underneath it, which could be explored in the next movie if we are so lucky to get it.

Oh. Yeah, that's a shame. And I was just thinking that Everbyte actually has no problem finding actors (including those with the right looks), so I don't think they could go wrong with that. Damn, I didn't even think about that. I didn't like Henry from the very first moment I showed up (he seemed too suspicious), so I didn't even think about starting a relationship with him. It would be better if Cheritz actually sent Henry... somewhere.

Waiting for "Moonvale"...

It's such a weird feeling, but I'm so interested in this whole aesthetic of small European cities. I grew up in a small town myself, but Duskwood and Redlog Pines have a completely different feel. By the way, I'm still wondering why the second game isn't named after the city where the events take place.

I remember the first time I played "Duskwood". My friend mentioned it in a general chat, and I remembered playing the first episode back in 2020. And then I just downloaded the game and went through all the episodes in almost five days. It's not an interactive movie game, just text messages, calls, videos and photos, but you feel like you're walking around this city with them. The characters feel more alive than ever, and I am grateful to every actor who took part in the filming. I'd especially like to be friends with Jessy, she is charming. I was also always choosing between Jake and Richy. Characters like Richy always interest me first in fandoms. They just make me feel comfortable. Warren Graham from "Life Is Strange", the Eleventh Doctor from "Doctor Who"... And, of course, Jake with his ":)". I think he's a bit like Seven from "Mystic Messenger", although Seven is more of a pretender to be cheerful.

After completing the seventh episode, where Richy "suffered" from the main villain, I accidentally came across a meme that revealed his true identity to me. I was upset. Not only because I like him, but also because I don't see much logic in it. Why did they have to make him the bad guy? It seems like a big cliche. I really want to believe that he'll come back to Moonvale because all this talk about him has broken my heart. It's incredibly strange that all our old chats have been deleted and friends don't respond (even within the universe). And, of course, it's interesting to know what exactly Charlie and Ash talked about.

We're all waiting for Jake to return, aren't we? :)
