#egon spengler

[verypsbfan019]

I knew the Ghostbusters movies since I was a child (I remember watching them on Cartoon Network). But, it wasn't until 2 weeks ago that I watched "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" with my parents that I started to pay attention on Egon Spengler and before I could notice I got obssesed with him... 😭😭😭😭

I quickly went "Hmmm... He gives me strong autistic vibes" so I searched on Tumblr and Google about it and not only I found others with the same headcanons but also that he's canonically autistic along with Ray Stantz according to one article...

I always get obsessed with the autistic one because I am autistic myself (I wasn't formally diagnosed until age 22) and I like to see other characters/people like me ♾️🌈

No one:

me: *watching Ghostbusters for the first time and laid eyes on Egon Spengler*

Also me: *new fictional character crush unlock*

Find a better character then Peck!

Coloured renditions of my initial swapped-ghostbusters au, now featuring the rest of them!

(I will explain roles/dynamics at some point soon, I swear, but my main note is that the key aspects of the characters' personalities remain consistent with canon and so changes have been made to the narrative to fit better)

If you’re watching an 80s sci-fi/horror movie and one of the main characters looks like this

You know you’re in for a TREAT

from worst to best how do you think all of them act when they get sick or injured?

Worst: Egon. Hates being unproductive, literally goes crazy if he has to stay in bed and not work even for a day, so whenever he gets sick or injured he hides it the best he can until he’s literally delirious and almost shoots one of the guys during a bust. Ray and Janine get very mad with him every time for pushing himself and making his condition worse, but can’t stay angry for too long, and end up near him almost all the time, reading to him or discussing some scientific ideas (he speaks utter nonsense, but as long as he’s not bored it’s okay).

Second worst: Peter. Just an annoying ass. Hates being vulnerable, so whenever he gets injured and others get worried he shooes them away with “I’m a big boy, guys, I’m fine and I can deal with it myself!!” though most of the time he still ends up asking someone for help if the injury is too annoying. Overall, whenever he’s sick he makes it everyone else’s problem: whines and groans and asks for special treatment just because he’s an asshole like that. The guys enable him sometimes, Janine does NOT let him slide.

Second best: Ray. Cares about his health and is responsible, but sometimes ignores his condition due to how much he loves his job and thinks that he’ll just walk whatever he has off. Sometimes he does, sometimes he doesn’t, but overall he does not mind being bedridden THAT much, he just reads his comics or watches TV, even though he wishes to get well as soon as possible and return to the streets on New York.

Best: Winston. He feels odd - he takes medicine. He feels worse - he stays home. He doesn’t like staying home and maybe tries to go on a few busts even when he’s feeling unwell, but if by the end of the day his condition doesn’t get better he lets himself rest until he’s okay. He also hogs the couch to watch TV or read books and the others always get annoyed by it, but he gets sick so rarely it’s barely an issue.

THE best: Janine. She feels a little odd - she calls off work and stays at home. One more day without the guys and their shenanigans.

Thank you to Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire for making it canon that the Ghostbusters actually did do a song and music video with Ray Parker Jr. as advertisement for their services.

I whole-heartedly believe that it was Janine's idea and she lost her mind watching Egon and Peter grumble about it while Ray and Winston have the time of their lives.

fortunately, ghostbusters; afterlife and ghostbusters; frozen empire are the best remakes of an intellectual property ever.

you cannot argue against me on this one. ghostbusters itself is already campy and cheesy and fucking great, obviously. it’s the perfect series for a 40 yrs later sequel.

it has the perfect amount of fan service (which i eat up every time), classic moments that i adore (oh no! i can’t hold the proton pack straight; the whole team has to grab on and help me!), and random new world lore just for the sake of lore (well the god wants to end humanity because he wants to)

plus they gave mckenna grace a lesbian ghost lover, what’s not to love

Chocolate bar for Egon.
