Ghostbusters headcanon:

In the Ghostbusters universe, the Gozer incident made it into We Didn't Start The Fire by Billy Joel in some way. Don't ask me how, don't ask me where, but it's in there.

I feel like Phoebe is an absolute menace at Monopoly

Like girl is RUTHLESS she will buy two sides of the board and then make everyone pay rent to the exact, including giving up exactly the right amount of property if they don't have enough

Strategizing evil genius when it comes to board games everyone fears her

I Love how as a fandom we all collectively agreed that egon is addicted to sugar and caffeine

Me and my friends where talking about our ghostbusters headcanons when I got the idea of drawing things from our dynamic into the characters, so this next drawings are based on that, because the three of us are very forgetful and have to constantly remind each other to do this stuff:

(Also halfway through the drawing I got the idea to do both movie and animated versions)

Egonn, he is constantly reminding the others to eat and sleep but also doesn’t. (Based on me)

Venkman who could live from eating things like instant ramen is also very picky about food. (Based on friend1)

Ray who might have hyper focus on something and not sleep because of doing something related, or maybe he didn’t notice how late it was, or simply could be insomniac but sleep? Who’s that? (Based on friend2)

So yeah, this again, are based on me and my friends, you do not have to agree with this but these are our headcanons hahaha.

-Hope you enjoy these!

A small discussion. We all know ghoatbusters is autisti media, but can we talk about how all the ghostbusters are definitely neuroatypical (except for Winston).

So this is my Thread(i will only be using the movies but i could add so much more with the Real ghostbusters):

So let's start with the easy one, Egon is Obviously Autistic, he is the steriotypical autistic person, blunt, which shows difficulty in communication, has a hard time with socialization and has repetitive and behaviour. (Yes, those are the main 3 traits to define autism according to the dms-5 ), but we can add in some other stuff like he restrictive eating and hyperfocus that arent defining traits but are also associated.

Now let's go for Ray, i see a lot of people mentioning of autistic behaviour related to Ray and well due to Dan himself being autistic. but i will throw a thing out here, Ray has ADHD Not autism, specifically the mixed adhd which brings in the lack of attention along with hyperactivity. (i know the spectrum shows differently in each person but this is my headcanon and what i observed) So lets start, he is very impulsive, and take actions sometimes without even thinking, plus very active, childish, and he lacks a lot of attention like they'd be talking about a thing and stantz would trail off or even start something without even considering causes, like with the proton packs, ray was the first one to offer himself even if it is a nuclear weapon. He could go overboard like when he is asked to scream to the mood slime and goes over the top, and now that's not necessarily a adhd characteristic, but it's common, he is very adoptive and quickly witted.

Now, for the one no one ever talks about when mentioning about neurodiversity in ghostbusters and my favourite Venkman.

Oh, how do i start with this one, thats the most AuDhD person, in the movies the phrases like "Good or bad is a bit fuzzy in my mind" or "dont stare at me you have the bug eyes, im sorry" both the situation, of not exactly understanding the morals or social effects and of not liking to be stared at, (he barely looks at people faces while talking to them) The lack of feel and being rather apathetic, being calm to react to stuff, like on the second on thr mocie when they were being judged and he was telling louis exactly what to say and yet extreme impulsive action, like the way he behaved with peck, his extreme sincerity and plus even tho he is very communicative his ways of communication are very directed as in the need to alrewdy have a theme or create a move. he needs a topic to communicate with people, like i found it so stupid that he used the experiment to hit on the girl on the first scene then he used jokes to die out his anxiety and he is not very expressive and to actually talk to dana he used the excuse of the ghost hunting, and the way he began to freak out about the ectoplasma (now obviously im over exagerating) could be seen as sensory issues, much like ray he also gets side tracked and distracted a lot. It's hard to have two voices in ya head telling the most logical and other one telling the impulsive intrusive thought, and he shows the mixture of the two perfectly. and if you want to push even farther in, we can discuss dislexia. The fact he has to ask Ray to read certain words for him and tell him what it says is already very interesting. (Adding in Bill murray is not openly autistic, but there were mentions about it in old interviews and some stuff in different people mentioning the possibility. but for the section of factuality, let's say no)

It could've been an accident or not, but here we have it. this is my belief that none of this is canon. im not Dan nor Harold remis im just a person who really likes those characters and is also Autistic.

i love this picture of ernie hudson its so silly

Egons the kinda autistic who doesn’t realise he’s autistic and just thinks everyone else just can’t handle his genius

Some Summerville Egon Headcanons:

— He’s a creature of habit, especially when it comes to food. There’s at least one member of each restaurant’s staff who can’t even begin to guess his name, but knows his order by heart.

— There was a raccoon that hung around his property. He spent a lot of mornings sitting on his porch, to the point that the raccoon slowly got used to him. Eventually it’d come up close enough that he was able to hand-feed it.

— One of his favorite things about living in Summerville was the ability to stargaze to his heart’s content. On warm summer evenings, he’d stare at the stars for hours, long after the lightning bugs had stopped flashing.

— Egon served as the town coroner for years to support himself. Most people knew him as “the coroner” before he retired and gained the “dirt farmer” nickname.

— He really enjoyed the anonymity of living in Summerville.

— In addition to his truck, Egon purchased a motorcycle.

— He liked the county fair. One of the many reasons was the deep fried Twinkies.

I found this extremely powerful image of Dan Aykroyd

And I have not stopped thinking about it. All I can think about is Ray in his college days having a radio show on the campus station. He talks about ghosts, aliens and unsolved mysteries in between playing stuff like Sun Ra and Kraftwerk. He’d have guests on from time to time, mostly those who had seen a ghost or experts in the field. He has 2 consistent listeners and they’re Peter Venkman and Egon Spengler although Peter says he listens to it as a joke.

In the events of Afterlife after defeating Gozer, Sakura watches from afar ghost Egon have an emotional yet sentimental moment with his family. As Callie let go of the hug she stepped aside & slowly led her ghost father's hand towards Sakura's direction. Sakura dropped her proton pistols on the ground & looked at both Callie & ghost Egon. "I know she means so much to you...& I know she's considered family too." Callie spoke as she stepped aside letting Sakura also have a final moment with her ghost husband. Sakura immediately hugs ghost Egon tightly as she quietly sobs onto his ghostly chest; ghost Egon then gently wipes away her tears & slowly caresses her cheek...even after death his spirit still wears their wedding ring. Ghost Egon looked at the guys one final time then slowly looked at Ray. Ray was almost on the verge of tearing up, but he kept his composure "Don't worry...she's in good hands." Ray spoke as he wrapped his arm around Sakura to comfort her. Then Egon's spirit slowly disappears as everyone looked up at stars...Sakura slowly rubs her wedding ring as she looks up at the stars "Goodbye mi amor...I'll see you soon."

The Ghostbusters rarely let Egon drive or ride up front because he is prone to road rage.

melody had PLANS. but this makes me giggle what WAS her unfinished business!!! (headcanon under the cut)

because she died in a tenament fire and she had the last match so you can atleast infer that she played a part (or she thinks she did) in her family's death.

but i read this alternative explanation headcanon on reddit (here) wherein basically the generation of firemasters before nadeem / nadeem's grandmother moved into the same tenament, garraka wasn't "insulated" properly because she had just moved in. melody wants to help her family out because they're all cold and she lights a match, which leads to her entire family's death.

so that's why melody feels so guilty and is also still tethered to garraka. also explains why defeating him is subconsciously so important to her and she doesn't even know/remember because the guilt she has is anchoring her in the first place

What was her unfinished business? Being gay?

Do we think Lars watches the Euros

Imagine him singing Football's Coming Home or shouting during the penalties I am in tears right now lmfaooooo

[cablecchewer]

I feel like egon had/has those moss ball pets and he loved them, he had some when he was a kid and was very sad when they died so when he became an adult he got new ones and tries his best to keep them alive, he decorates their tank with pebbles and castles you would find in pet stores, he loves them sm he watches them before going to bed bcs it soothes him that they are safe

↳ notes: lars content yay! as far as i can tell, i'm one of the few to do anything on him, so i hope there's more than ten people out there interested in him

↳ warnings: none

• This guy is a snacker

• Take one look at him. You can't tell me that he doesn't constantly skip out on meals in favor of research, usually just pulling a granola bar or stained tupperware from his desk drawer to eat while he works

• Don't get me wrong, Lars can still devour a good bit of food. Sometimes you like to make fun of him for how much good he'll get on his face in the process

• "You're looking at me weird." He frowned at you one day from behind the rims of his glasses

• "Uh, yeah. Wonder why." You grin with mild surprise, watching as leftover rice and beans from the burrito in his hands stuck to the corners of his mouth like glue. He was quick to wipe it all off, ignoring you as you laughed at him

• Aside from that, Lars usually keeps his workplace pretty clean. It's cluttered, sure, but you don't think you've ever seen him wonder where something went. He just always knew where things were. It was like he had a system in his head, and the more you thought about it, the more you decided he definitely did

• The one time someone had even tried to clean his place up, you watched as he immediately jumped in, convincing them that they were needed elsewhere and sending them off before they could mess with his set-up

• Often times, when it's just the two of you alone in the offsight lab, you'll bounce a tennis ball off the wall while Lars types away, only ever looking up to squint at you when the ball gets to close to his head

• "You should really give that to the possesor. I'm sure it'd appreciate it." He hums to you at one point while spinning around in his chair to reach something. Behind you, you hear the unmistakable sound of a metal chair tapping excitedly on glass, and you make a tsking noise

• "Pretty sure you just want me to stop distracting you with my awesome skills." You boast, attempting to do a trickshot only to smack Lars in the back. He glares at you, and you inch backward with a nervous chuckle

• "You know what, I think I'll give it to the possesor."

• "What a brilliant idea." Lars says monotonely. You were quick to get rid of the ball

• He hums while he works!

• It's not anything discernable. In fact, most of the time he isn't even singing real songs. Just little tunes he'll make up on the spot for himself; often as a way to pass the time and make minute tasks fly by

• You notice it quite a lot, but don't really say anything. It's quite entertaining, if you're being truthful

• "Sittin' and waitin' for food. Sittin' and waitin' for food.." He'd improvised once while waiting yet again for a t.v dinner of his to finish its cycle in the labs shared microwave

• "Wow Lars. Voice of an angel, you have."

• "Stuff it."

• Lars doesn't often need help with his work, there's a reason he landed the job after all, but when he does, you're always the first person he goes to. It's a side effect of having spent so much time with you at work, and even outside of it—if you counted lunch breaks and independent experiments as a non-work environment

• He likes being able to get a fresh set of eyes on whatever's stumping him, and it usually doesn't take long for the two of you to work around whatever was holding him up

• Overall, you couldn't think of a better friend/co-worker to have, and the same applies for Lars. Your relationship will only strengthen as time goes on, even withstanding the bizzar experiences that Garraka eventually brings later that year

• But that's for much later. Right now, the two of you are content to sit in the aquarium-turned-headquarters, watching as the hours ticked by without a care in the world

Funny thing about Danny Phantom is that Danny's parents were absolutely inspired by ghostbusters. As in, Jack probably watched it as a kid and immediately decided he wanted to catch ghosts. Same for Maddie. And so they went on living their ghostbusters dream life while guess what!!! Their son literally puts the ghost in ghostbusters. He's living out their dreams in a way they never could while also being a superhero and if you think Jack and Maddie (but especially Jack) wouldn't lose their goddamned minds once it finally clicks then you're the problem.
