Here’s a Beetlejuice “Banana Boat Song” music video which ends with Belafonte getting in a cab driven by Beej.  It’s the only time Michael Keaton appeared as Beej other than the movie.

Once The Children Were Asleep, Sajjad Headed Out On An Urgent Shopping Mission. “We Are Muslims And

Once the children were asleep, Sajjad headed out on an urgent shopping mission. “We are Muslims and we’d never had a Christmas tree in our home. But these children were Christian and we wanted them to feel connected to their culture.”

The couple worked until the early hours putting the tree up and wrapping presents. The first thing the children saw the next morning was the tree.

“I had never seen that kind of extra happiness and excitement on a child’s face.“ The children were meant to stay for two weeks – seven years later two of the three siblings are still living with them.

WHY I hate the Steven Universe fandom

I know this blog is Beetlejuice based but I wanted to post this and tell everyone about how awful the fandom can be sometimes and I myself am a fan of the show and I enjoy but I wanted speak about this.

So some backstory me and my friend met up at a con and I hadn't seen her in 3 years.

I was talking to my friend at a con about the character Pink diamond/Rose Quartz at a con and a grown ass woman who was cosplaying Rose Quartz turned around and yelled at me and my friend, we didn't see Rose either and Rose started to accuse me and my friend of harassing Rose because Rose was in front of us (I didn't realise she was in front of me) and this woman's friends joined in too calling us bullies (Being called a bully really hurt me too since I've been bullied since I was a kid and cosplay is my safe space and an escape) and saying that we were harassing all of them.

What makes this worse is that I have Autism and my friend also does and sometimes she can be loud, and this is important to know because this woman turned around to yell at us and accuse us of shit we didn't do and I tried to explain to her how my friend has autism and can be quite loud and she yelled in my face.

I then upset with a grown woman and her adult friends yelling in my face and was crying over them all accusing me and my friend of shit we didn't do and I was also panicking because I was scared that Rose or her friends would hurt me and had a sensory overload so I had to walk away and my friend saw this.

The women then walked away smiling with her friends and while I said bye to my friend, some of my other friends came over, I explained what happened and told me to sit with them to calm me down and helped me fix my make-up that I worked really hard on.

This woman also said she was literally Rose Quartz.

This is why I hate this shows fandom.

Also I should mention that I wanted to cosplay it and be an active member of the fandom but now I don't want to now that I've seen how toxic it can be.
