[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!

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…

Chapter 3 of Lonely Remnants, “I'll save you from that fate, If I have to kill every angel in Heaven, I will snatch you back from the grave, And you will live to see my bed another day”, is here!

Here are the extras. Make sure to read the warnings before proceeding!

- The lyrics for this chapter’s title are from “Over the Moon” by Penelope Scott! (Thanks Cosmo <3) It’s meant to reflect the mindset Lydia has from the start, and the pivot to being all in Barbara and Adam experience.

- “They corralled it into a bathroom to change on it’s own, but it struggled to even get the trench coat off.” - It’s hard to do things with one arm!

- “She heard both of her adopted parents shriek after a minute or so, and the Shoggoth let out a startled yelp. Before she could go to assist them, Barbara and Adam were both scrambling out of the bathroom, looking rather green in the gills. Adam dry heaved in the kitchen sink while Barbara returned to the bathroom, having retrieved a first aid kit from under said kitchen sink. Lydia gently patted the man’s back, brows furrowed in concern. “… what happened?” Adam managed to say “his arm” between gags.” - His arm is suuuper gross. Lydia was shielded from it by her oh so brave guardians. (Also, the yelp was because Barbara and Adam freaking out startled the Shoggoth hehe)

- “.. the Shoggoth was finally dressed in an old band hoodie (Lawrence still had an MCR hoodie?) and basketball shorts.” - Of course. Once an MCR fan, always an MCR fan.

- “It was then that the three living humans realized his feet were now replaced with… some sort of paws. The Shoggoth seemed to catch them staring, as it titled his head and looked down to follow their gaze. “Oh!” It chuckled, once it had caught on. “Don’t worry about that. Ate one too many raccoons.” ” - Hmm. Weird! Perhaps this will come up later. Also it’s feet are a weird mashup of raccoon paw hand things and human feet

- Nails - Lawrence used to use sharpies to “paint” his nails instead of actually painting them.

- Dog - his childhood dog’s name was Kevin, a reference to Alex Brightman’s dog, but unfortunately I don’t think he’ll be brought up again.

- “Lydia saw her hesitate before she reached out to wrap her arms around the Shoggoth, using one hand to gently pet the top of his head. It melted into her arms, eyes slipping shut.” - This is something Barbara used to do to comfort Lawrence. The Shoggoth sort of remembers and is comforted by it.

- “Barbara lightly patted his back. “… we’ll figure it out.” ” - This is the moment Barbara and Adam decided they were all in with this strange zombie demon stuff.

- “The Shoggoth called a ‘see ya later!’ from the kitchen, mouth obviously full. Lydia heard Adam shouting for it to spit something out as the door shut behind her.” - The Shoggoth took a bite of the plate.

- “Lydia absolutely flunked the math test, despite how hard Adam had helped her study for it.” … “ “I think I failed the math test.” “Oh, honey, I’m sorry! After you two studied so hard for it and everything.” ” - this is a reference to the end scene in the original movie!

- “Lydia called out a loud “I’m home!” once she came into the townhouse, as per usual. Barbara called a quick little “in here!” in response from the living room.” … “It was then that the front door unlocked again, and Adam called out an “I’m home!” as he stepped inside. … Adam stepped into the living room shortly after Barbara called “in here!”.” - This tradition was started by Lawrence, because he was always paranoid his loved ones wouldn’t be there when he got home. Yay trauma!

- “Barbara and the Shoggoth were sat on the couch, both staring aptly at the TV screen. Her eyes were tinged with red. Lydia recognized the chaotic sounds of ‘Zombieland’ in an instant.” - Barbara cried and hugged the Shoggoth for a while before she showed it the movie. Adam did something similar.

- “The Shoggoth perked up, head whipping around in that direction. It flexed and unflexed his fingers over and over, eyes wide and a weird little smile tugging at his lips.” - It’s like a happy little puppy… it’s already so attached to the three of them!

- “ “There’s a chemical in brains that helps keep the body from decomposing,” the Shoggoth explained, and Lydia could swear it looked a little.. proud.” - It wanted to show off it’s knowledge to Adam.

- “ “And, um… just.. Lydia, dear, could you grab the Reese’s in the freezer?” Adam removed his glasses to pinch the bridge of his nose. “Those are probably expired by now.” ” … “The Shoggoth really, really liked chocolate, apparently. (So did he.)” - Lawrence LOVED chocolate, especially Reese’s. Barbara and Adam didn’t have the heart to throw away the bag of them he left in the freezer after the accident, so it’s been there for about a year.

- “ “Like I said, we have an old cage from when I had Daniel-” “Your hamster,” the Shoggoth murmured, eyes still fixed on the container.” - ‘Daniel’ is a reference to the main character’s name in “Mrs. Doubtfire”, one of my favorite films ever but also the musical Adam’s original broadway actor is in now!

- “(They named the four of them, although Barbara told them not to get attached. Tallahassee, Columbus, Little Rock, Wichita.)” - After the main four characters in “Zombieland”.

- “The Shoggoth paused in it’s struggle with it’s fork to give her a perplexed look.” - It’s hard doing things with one hand!!! Help it please

- “Barbara and Adam exchanged a Look. The Shoggoth glanced between the two of them with furrowed brows.” … “Another Look. The Shoggoth seemed a little irritated.” - Lawrence used to be included in the Looks. Some part of the Shoggoth recognizes that, and it frustrates it that it can’t understand them now.

(Want to be tagged in future CorpseJuice and/or LoopJuice updates? Let me know!)

it’s Cosmo. I have a headcanon that when the Shoggoth was in Lydia’s room and told not to touch anything, he started fiddling around with some of Lydia’s perfume and accidentally sprayed himself in the eyeballs with it.

Fuck. That’s so much funnier than what I had in mind, honestly. I love it! It may be canon, since we never saw what actually happened hehe

Thank you!

can I take the shoggoth to hersheyland

we're not gonna take over the place or anything I swear (I am lying)

Bestie of course! It would love to rule Hersheyland with an iron fist. Just make sure to keep it on a leash. Also keep it out of the sun

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?

HEADCANON TIME BCUZ I WANT YOU TO FEEL BETTER

Adam and Barbara both know how to sew, and they both made little dolls of themselves for Beetlejuice to hold on to. Both dolls have a little packet of stuff that reminds Beetlejuice of their scents and they are also weighted!!

One time, Beetlejuice and Lydia went to the beach. Beetlejuice dug a hole and laid in it, while Lydia covered him with a blanket. They put a cup of French fries over the towel and spent all afternoon trying to catch a seagull.

The Shoggoth once drank some shampoo “just to see what it would taste like”. Cue Barbara and Adam frantically trying to wash its mouth out. Every time it tried to talk, all that would come out was garbled words and bubbles.

Beetlejuice kicks in his sleep. The only thing that calms him down is Adam or Barbara petting his hair

That’s all I’ve got right now, I’ll think of more stuff!! Hope things get better for you

-Cosmo 🖤✨

Fuuuuck these are so cute!!!! Thank you….

- THAT. IS. SO. CUTE. LITTLE DOLLS TO KEEP THEM CLOSE WHEN THEYRE NOT PHYSICALLY THERE. IM GONNA CHEW OFF MY CAR BUMPER!!!! /pos

- Imagine the chaos if they ever actually caught a seagull… what was their plan? What were they going to do with it?

Hehe I’m just imagining the like ten seconds of celebration followed by “oh god what do we do with it now”

- GOD. YEAH. PROBABLY. That doofus will eat anything that might smell or look appetizing… the bubbles coming out every time it bickers with Barbara and Adam about “but it smells so nice!!” hehehe

- Absolutely. I think that guy probably even sleep fights or sleep walks. But yeah head pets from their partners calm them right down :)

Thank you again for these, they are phenomenal <3

HEHEHEHE

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

GET SPAMMED

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

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

New Lonely Remnants chapter, “Didn’t give me time to say goodbye in the way that I wanted to, So honey, close your eyes and stay like you’re supposed to do”, is out!

Short but fun trip montage! Sorry I lied about the meat. The real meat is next chapter…

Here are the extras!

- The lyrics for this title’s chapter are from “Pigeon” by Cavetown! They are not meant to be from the perspective of Lydia, or Barbara, or Adam. I will not elaborate! :)

- “…Adam’s blue 2010 Chrysler Town & Country.” - I chose the most Adam lookin car I could find on short notice.

- “It was dressed in another old hoodie, this one belonging to Adam and read “Luck of the Irish” in green with a giant shamrock. (Was Adam Irish? Lydia doubted it.) The sleeve that wasn’t tied off was rolled up, as were Lawrence’s old khaki shorts it had on, revealing the tattoos peppering his skin.” - Adam is not Irish! Lawrence thrifted that for him as a joke. And yep, he had lots of tattoos! There’s been no organic way to point them out/explain them in story…

- “C’mon, ‘Goth.” “Gogo.” - Lydia’s trying to think of names for it!

- “… it huffed, ears… did his ears just move?” - Hmm!! Maybe more demonic features on the horizon perhaps??

- “The Shoggoth suddenly released her hand to punch a well-worn dent in the car’s ceiling. “.. not you too,” Adam sighed, shutting the trunk once everything was packed and secured. “Hm?” The Shoggoth slowly lowered his hand. “Nothing, just… please do not punch the roof of the car.” “.. what if we pass under a red light?” Adam exchanged a strange little Look with Barbara. “… okay. Only then.” The creature smiled, wide and toothy and crooked.” - that dent is from Lawrence punching the roof of the car whenever Adam passed under a yellow or red light, which is a fun American tradition I also participate in! I bruised my hand badly doing it once. The Shoggoth has foggy memories of punching the car ceiling.

- “ “I just didn’t see any light before comin’ up here.” “… like.. none at all?” “Mhm.” It looked out the window. Lydia could tell it didn’t want to talk about it anymore.” - Hmmmm. Poor guy.

- “The Shoggoth was horrible at 20 questions, not really knowing most of the things the others thought up. (Seriously, Adam, why would a demon know who Legolas was?)” - Nerd Adam!! Both LoopJuice Adam and CorpseJuice Adam are huge Tolkien fans.

- “They eventually brought out the Mad Libs Adam had packed. Lydia’s chest clenched at the uproarious, ridiculous laughter the Shoggoth let out at “computers can add, multiply, divide, and kill.” It wasn’t that funny, but… his laughter had always been so contagious.” - Based on a true story of my sister losing her shit over this exact madlib.

- “ “No worries, A-Dog. I’m perfectly content on the floor.” Lydia heard the way Adam stuttered as he repeatedly asked the demon if it was sure, then as he thanked it repeatedly. She caught the way he lifted his glasses to wipe at his eyes while he prepared for bed in the bathroom.” - A-Dog used to be Lawrence’s nickname for Adam, before they started dating.

Hi Mr Possum, I like your lonely remnants fic 👋👋👋👋👋👋

OHHH MY GOD!!! THANK YOU AHHHHHHH!! AHHH! THIS IS SO GOOD!!

There’s no more looking back, it’s looking up or looking down.

(Cough cough @possum-quesadilla cough cough 👉👈)

Yeah…. My thoughts exactly..

@possum-quesadilla !!!!!

I HAVE ONE THING TO SAY TO YOU BESTIE🫵🫵🫵🫵🫵🫵

AAAAAAAAAAAAA

Whoop. Oops. I got too excited to write the next chapter…

Chapter 5 of Lonely Remnants, “Now you remember where you came from, Now you remember where you’re going, You’ve got to keep it flowing” is here!

I promise I’ll work on the next chapter of Time’s Arrow after this besties.

PLEASE READ THE WARNINGS BEFORE PROCEEDING. THIS CHAPTER IS PARTICULARLY ROUGH.

Here are the extras!

- The lyrics for this chapter’s title are from “Spiral of Ants” by Lemon Demon! I’m sure the meaning is obvious, especially by the end of the chapter. :)

- “The lights were off within, and she could hear a faint, familiar humming resounding throughout.” - The Shoggoth doesn’t need to turn the lights on because it can see in the dark better than in the light.

- “It had changed into some sort of D.A.R.E. hoodie that used to be Lawrence’s, the left sleeve having yet to be tied off.” - I wonder why Lawrence has a D.A.R.E. hoodie?

- “She jolted in surprise when a tail swished anxiously behind the Shoggoth. It was long and thin, reaching down to his ankles, covered in black fur with a large tuft at the end.” - based on a medieval unicorn’s tail! Mostly for funsies with the design. And, y’know, thematic reasons. Like all the other features. ;)

- Car games - thank you to my mutuals in the discord server for the help picking them this time!! <33

- “ “What type of name would you like?” Barbara asked, glancing back at the demon. “Masculine? Feminine? Something ambiguous?” The demon blinked at her, furrowing his brows. “… huh?” ” - the Shoggoth has no concept of gender, hence why it uses it/its pronouns right now! (Eventually, it will shift to it/they.)

- “It seemed them pulling in past the sign that welcomed them to the town of ‘Hatchet Springs’ made something click in it’s mind.” - The name of the town is a mixture of two of my favorite fictional towns, both of which are thematically relevant! Hatchetfield from the Hatchetfield trilogy and Possum Springs from “Night in the Woods”.

- “ “… it looks so dorky.” The Shoggoth shrinked in on itself a bit, and the preteen held her hands up. “In a good way! I would totally not suspect you’re a demon. You fly under the radar.” ” - the Shoggoth really, really cares what Lydia things.

- “It kept insisting in a hissed whisper that someone was following them, but every time Lydia looked where the demon had indicated, there was nobody there.” - It wasn’t Juno! :)

- Collette - The last name has a specific thematic purpose beyond being a reference to Justin Collette!

- Thank you again to my homies for helping with the math on the poster!! Math is hard!!

- “Hair long and wild, unstyled and dyed with streaks of purple.” - Juno never taught him how to brush his hair or care for it, hence why it was wild here and when he first came to the haunted house. Emily and Charles taught him how to properly care for it!

- “Hhh- th-that explains the bits.” - The Shoggoth noticed a difference between the body and the way people referred to Lawrence, but just went along with it. It’s starting to understand what it all means here. (Imagine discovering transphobia for the first time…)

- “Lydia caught sight of dark green scales on his nose, glistening in the sunlight.” - Hmm! Weird. Perhaps thematic. (Definitely.)

- “Barbara and Adam exchanged a Look, and the Shoggoth let out a soft whimper.” - The Shoggoth understood the Look this time.

- “He ha-… has a heart condition.” - Adam was trying not to give away that Lawrence was dead, since it seemed like Juno didn’t know. Also, I will probably make a post about Lawrence’s first date with the Maitlands where he first brought up his heart condition!

- “Lydia strained to hear them, reaching up to adjust her hearing aid- ” - Hearing aids don’t actually work like that. You can’t just turn it up to hear better at a distance. Lydia was just a wee bit desperate and confused.
