Fellow GB fans we must have a little chat pls

I get that a lot of you love Egon Spengler, I do too, but I see a lot of you going onto posts that aren’t about him and trying to MAKE THEM about him in the comments or reblogs or something when the post is specifically about Ray or Winston and it is GENUINELY getting old.

Ray already gets overlooked and so does Winston (part of me thinks that stems from fatphobia and racism but that’s a different conversation) and there are already PLENTY of spaces to talk about Egon with the other Egon girlies. Don’t get me wrong, I love Egon! I do! But when I wanna praise Ray or Winston or any other character the way they deserve that is not your chance to overtake the space and make it about Egon!!

Maybe this is a silly niche complaint for me to have but I’ve had SO many of my posts about Ray hijacked and everyone seems to give Egon all the credit for everything and dumb Ray down to “oh sweet autistic baby uwu!!” when he’s just as competent and brilliant as Egon was, same with Winston being basically totally forgotten. Don’t be that person!! Please!!! Janine gif for tax cause we love her too!

You couldn't buy her, though, that's what's killing you, isn't it? Steff? That's it, Steff. She thinks you're shit. And deep down, you know she's right.

An interview with Annie Potts for a 2016 UK magazine about the Ghostbusters, coinciding with the release of the 2016 reboot. Below is a notable excerpt in which she supports the Janegon ship and speculates why it didn’t last in the second film. FWIW this isn’t the only time she’s been on record as a shipper. She told Vanity Fair in 2014 that she always hoped Janine and Egon got back together.

Interviewer: Janine has a wonderful chemistry with Egon…

Annie: That was all in the script. I think the chemistry really has a lot to do with casting. They were all really fun delightful people. Harold was a lovely, gentle spirit, bemused and deeply funny. Everything with him was so easy.

Interviewer: How did you view Janine and Egon’s relationship?

Annie: It seemed that there was a budding romance there. I was surprised in the second one that they didn’t develop that relationship further, but comedically I think they thought that Rick and I…they wanted to mine that. I had a crush on Harold, and I think I’d have liked to continue that relationship. But of course Rick was wonderful and wonderfully funny, so it was a win-win situation for me. I thought Janine and Egon had a nice chemistry, but I’m sure as they were developing the script they were thinking there was just more comedy there to mine.
