I Saw the TV Glow (2024)

Here’s a wee bit of art for chapter 12 of LoopJuice… I don’t really like how it turned out but. Oh well! If I keep tweaking it I’ll go crazy.

[RUINING THE LIVES OF PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT REAL] i am playing. With my touys

Posts I want to make as extras for my fics:

- Differences between Lawrence and the Shoggoth, in terms of appearance, voice, mannerisms, etc. (CorpseJuice)

- Explanations to the town and more on backstories that won’t show up in the story itself (CorpseJuice)

- The demon hierarchy and society explained, kinda (the afterlife too) (LoopJuice)

- A list of scenes that were cut from LoopJuice, so y’all can pick which ones I write when (ie Beetlands date nights, Lydia and Ash’s talk in the woods, Charles and Beetlejuice bonding, etc) (same will probably apply to CorpseJuice later on)

- Backstory on Deb, Larry, Bela, and other demons (LoopJuice)

- More info about Lydia and the witchcraft she practices (LoopJuice)

- Break downs of playlists / specific songs (both)

- Break downs of themes / referenced literature (both but especially LoopJuice)

Will take suggestions to! Anything you’re confused about and/or want me to expand upon? I’ll answer just about anything, as long as it’s not spoilers!

FUCK. SO TRUE

“Why would the universe go through all that trouble to bring us together, to only make us strangers again in the end?”

My Latin teacher was talking about Orpheus and Eurydice today and I thought of you.

Typing that just made me think— the lyric "she called your name before she went, but I guess you weren't listening” reminds me of LoopJuice Beej and Lyds. Everything reminds me of LoopJuice/CorpseJuice. You’ve infected my brain… /pos

-Cosmo

Awww! I’ve given you all brain worms <3 sorry, they’re terminal <3 /j

YEAH THATS ONE OF THE LYRICS IN PARTICULAR I GO CRAZY OVER!!

But in all seriousness. You guys don’t understand how long I’ve been plotting and going insane over the Orpheus and Eurydice connection. There are others of course but that one is. OUGH. I love making literature connections like that…

Heyyy. I couldn’t wait any longer!!! The next chapter of Time’s Arrow, “Flowers, I remember fields of flowers”, is here. We’re back to a Beetlejuice POV!! Yay!! (Kinda..)

Please read the warnings carefully before proceeding.

Here are the extras! Not too many of them, surprisingly.

- The lyrics for this chapter’s title are from “Flowers” from Hadestown. Now we’re seeing our Eurydice’s perspective! Very literal. At one point, all Beetlejuice can remember is flowers.

- Songs for this chapter: “Flowers” from Hadestown, “Goodbye” by Bo Burnham, “The Moon Will Sing” by The Crane Wives, “Francis Forever” by Mitski, “Nymphs Finding the Head of Orpheus” by Nicole Dollanganger, “Our Word” from 36 Questions (again), “Doubt Comes In” from Hadestown.

- “Turns out seven thousand years of whatever the hell he found himself in now was a lot worse.” - Haha, surprise Ezri and Raine! This is what number you/Barbara picked for :)

- “He was not a participant, like in the last time loop he was stuck in. He was an invisible observer, unable to be heard or seen or to touch anything. But he felt it all.” - The worst of all worlds! Time loop, trauma, invisible. All of the things Beej hates. Also, the inability to be seen is inspired by a scene in “The Haunting of Hill House” where Nell is ‘missing’, but she was right there. They just couldn’t see her.

- “Had he really looked that bad during the fight? No wonder they were scared of him now.” - Yeah he looked pretty insane, as mentioned in Lydia’s POV in chapter 10.

- “What did they think of him, now that he was gone? What were they saying?” - This line, along with a few later, are inspired by the songs “Who Was She” and “Who Is She (Reprise)” from “Centaurworld”.

- “(The words ‘I love you’ don’t leave his lips. He didn't know them yet.)” - Yeah he didn't really hear the words “I love you” for a long, long time.

- “The demon-… They-…. Beetlejuice knew there was more, but try as they might, they couldn’t remember it.” - This was Beetlejuice starting to forget his own name/identity.

- “Panic coursed through the demon as they wheezed out unsteady breaths.” - Him unable to breathe and wheezing the whole time is meant to emulate the ending of “I Saw The TV Glow”.

- “They… remembered… flowers. Purple, yellow, green, red, orange, and blue.” - This, of course, calls back to the first chapter of Time’s Arrow, as well as the title lyrics for this chapter. Also the new blue is for Ash :)

- “Oh well. You made this bed. Now lay in it.” - This is meant to be a reference to the ending of the title song for this chapter.

Baby is home!!! :,)

bouncing in my chair, spinning around as I pace around the house, aggressively flapping my hands, so joyous I'm unable to sit still, stomping my feet in joy, unable to make words, all you hear is "BABY IS HOME BABY IS HOME YESSS YESSSS RAGHGHGHGHGH BABY IS HOMEEE BABY IS HOME BAbY BABYY BABYYYYYYY BABY IS HOMMEEEEE BABY IS HOME BABY IS HOME BABY IS HOME"

HOLY SHIT WAHAHSJSJSGQIEIAPAOSK SA

YOU YOU YOU

LARRY SAVED US

ALL HAIL LARRY

YAYAYAYSYSYAYYAUAYAUAUAHDUDKDNEI

YIPEEE

YEAAAHHH!! YIPPEE!! THANK YOU LARRY!!

Larry would be so embarrassed by the amount of people hyping them up.

I think they deserve a lore post for this…. Perhaps…

I need that clip of Michael from The Good Place where they’re like “we found all four of the clues you left us” and he’s like “that’s great! Actually I left like 1200 just in case” but it’s. Me about foreshadowing in my writing

You guys ever read a fanfiction or art and-

The emotional whiplash is so poignant you have to stand up and process what the hell you just theoretically witnessed?

Do you have a design for Rigel? Also would you be interested in doing a sort of art trade if you have the time…?

I do have one in mind, yes! I will add it to the demon lore post I’m brewing… should be posted sometime very soon! And sure, I would love to! I’m just not the best with drawing humanoids or. Drawing in general… but I’m down for almost whatever you have in mind! You can DM me or reply on this post with details, whatever you’d like haha

Seeing all of the overjoyed reactions to chapter 12 of loopjuice but knowing what’s coming in the next one is like. I feel like that one monkey

This one

HEHEHEHE

And I’ll do it again! Catch me if you can!! >:)

YOU HAVE LOOPJUICE'S EAR SCAR!?

Im a tiny bit concerned

Yeah, I do, haha! Although not as deep as his, obviously, and caused by somewhat different incidents. And I don’t have the cool pointy ears, just plain ol’ hearing loss.

Yeahhhh, I had to get inspiration for LoopJuice’s Juno and Beetlejuice’s mommy issues from somewhere, didn’t I?

cannot recommend more putting secrets and hints in your creative work that you dont expect anyone to figure out

i love this character so much......i hope they get seriously injured and almost die

“Lonely Day” by System Of A Down reminds me of Adam, Barbara, and Beetlejuice’s relationship, especially in chapter 11

YEEEESSSSS AHH I LISTENED TO THIS IN THE CAR AND TEARED UP A LITTLE THANK YOU

Which of your works should I read? I can’t decide and want your opinion lol

I. Uh. I. AUUGHHH I can’t pick between my two children…

If I MUST, I’d say LoopJuice / Time is a Flat Circle bc there’s more content for that one currently! And also it’s decently written

WHAT. YOU ARE SO WELCOME OH MY GOD??

I find it so funny that I found your fics recently, started them, and I liked them a lot, and then I saw you hadn't updated in 4 years and went like

Ok, I ain't finishing this shit I'm not gonna get invented on a dead fic

You: *revives*

OK, FORGET WHAT I SAID TIME TO READ

that's EXACTLY how i feel about unfinished stuff i cannot risk the emotional damage of never knowing what happens ! i only revived cos there's less than a hundred completed beetlelands fics in ao3 and i will not tolerate it anymore. also loopjuice. that was so sick to read thanks boogaloo!! you revived me
