Can you write us some Egon as a grandpa happy stuff please 🥺

Of course I can

Yeah don’t mind the GIF

“The monsters gone and your Grandpas here”

Egon being a grandpa to reader because if I’m honest I dont really know Phoebe that well character wise and I’m not in the mood for angst.

You were only six when you first visited your grandfathers house. Looking up at the somewhat tall building clutching your little backpack in one hand your teddy under the same arm, you hesitated before stepping up to the door and knocked. Egon pushed his glasses up and opened the door grinning at the sight of his grandchild. He knelt down and opened his arms for a hug which you rushed into. You loved your grandpa so much, he was always showing you new inventions when he visited yours or stayed the night. You’d never been allowed to stay at his overnight before because your mother was hesitant. He’d not been there for her when she was younger, but Egon had a reason. Ghost busting wasn’t easy, and it was dangerous to. Even during the five year gap anything could have clung to him, he couldn’t risk harming his daughter.

He led you into the house and closed the door behind him. He took you upstairs to where you’d be staying the night, though unbeknownst to little you, you’d be staying with him for much much longer. He sat you on the bed, the wardrobe was packed with clothes he’d bought you, shoes anything clothes wise you’d need for now. “Now how about you get use to your new room while grandpa makes some dinner hm? I left a few inventions in here for you to look at” he smiled and stood leaving to the kitchen. You looked around and found the inventions he was talking about. One looked like a mini proton pack that he’d shown you a picture of. He told you all about when he was a ghostbuster, about the 100ft Stay Puft Man, about a possessed painting, mood slime that could be charged negatively or positively. It all seemed like a fairytale but his notes and colleagues had confirmed it was indeed true.

After dinner he told you more stories, the one about the first time they caught a ghost and Venkman got slimed, one about how Sal (Rays daughter), Ray, Winston and himself had been covered head to toe in ectoplasmic slime because they’d fallen into a whole river of it. You felt your eyes grow heavy as you slowly fell asleep on his lap. He carried you to bed and laid you down, kissing your forehead gently with a smile. You were so much like Callie…yet…so much like him. He sighed as he headed to bed and sat down rubbing his eyes. He took his glasses off and laid down falling asleep. It seemed like he was only asleep for a few hours before a scream filled the house. He sat up and grabbed his glasses running to your room.

You’d been woken up by a night terror and were currently sobbing and curled up in a ball. Egon pushed the door open and went over sitting on the bed “hey little dove what’s wrong? Was it one of the night terrors your mother told me about?” You hiccuped and looked up practically throwing yourself at him, into his arms. He rubbed your back and kissed your forehead, his rough but sturdy hand making small circles on your back. You whimpered and the crying died down to sniffling and hiccups. Egon held you close and kissed your forehead again rocking back and forth “the monsters gone and your grandpas here” Egon laid down on your bed next to you and played with your hair gently. He wanted to make sure that those nightmares would never bother you again. A smile spread across his face feeling your breathing return to a clam even pace, looking down you were fast on in his arms. “I love you..so much. You’re going to be a special girl when you grow up.

Phoebe is her grandfathers granddaughter. It’s no secret, however the connection I particularly enjoy and don’t see a lot of people talk about is her anger/impulse.

She’s what would happen if Egon did not have Peter to hold him back. There’s no one stopping her from lunging at someone or speaking her mind/getting in trouble for it.

Ghostbusters Frozen Empire spoilers ahead

I've seen some criticism over Phoebe's actions in Frozen Empire, more specifically over the point when she separates her spirit from her body, calling it "a dumb decision", that "she's smarter than that", that it's "out of character for her", and just like.

First of all, remember she's 15??? She's a teenager??

But also I want to argue that it does make sense for her character, especially after everything that happened in Frozen Empire leading up to that moment.

Before we talk about Frozen Empire, we have to remember her story arc from Afterlife.

In Afterlife, Phoebe is uprooted from where they were previously living, and we know she has trouble making friends. Trevor tells her to tell him some of the jokes she's been practicing, her mom tells her to "not be herself" (jokingly/affectionately, but it's still said), and we know that Phoebe struggles to make friends. She struggles to connect with people.

Then she finds out her grandfather was a scientist, like her. He was a Ghostbuster, something that she connects to. She compares herself to Egon and is upset when she finds out her mom didn't tell her that her grandfather was a scientist like her. Then, most importantly here, her mom says that Phoebe "found herself" at the farm.

During Afterlife, Phoebe's story is about finding herself and connecting to who her grandfather was, a scientist, a Ghostbuster.

Flashforward to Frozen Empire.

Now they're in New York, and from what we see even though it's been 3 years since the events of Afterlife, it doesn't seem like Phoebe has really made any new friends in New York, she's still friends with Podcast, but he still lives in Summerville and is only there for the summer. She has her family, but she doesn't have any friends there. Her focus seems to be on being a Ghostbuster because that's where she found herself, that's what she wants to do.

And then it's being taken away from her.

She's suddenly told that she can't be a Ghostbuster because she's too young, and all the while the rest of her family is continuing to go out on busts and leaving her behind. There's things going on, and she's told she can't help, which just throws the fact that the thing she loves, the thing she wants to do, has been taken away from her.

And then, while upset from this, she makes a friend, Melody. It's someone she can talk to, that she seems to enjoy being around. She doesn't know that Melody has an agenda, that Melody is going to use her (not hating on Melody, that's just literally what happens). To her, Melody is a friend and someone she can talk to that distracts her from how another part of her life has been taken away.

Now I don't know if anything has been confirmed, but Phoebe comes off as neurodivergent (honestly I would not be surprised if she was intentionally written that way). One thing when you're neurodivergent and struggle to make friends is like, when someone acts like they want to be around you, to be your friend, you might not catch any signs that something's up.

So with that in mind, remember that Phoebe had no reason to suspect anything was going on with Melody. Before separating her soul from her body, Phoebe just thought she was finding a way to exist on the same plane as her friend. It was a way to just be with her friend for just a couple of minutes. Remember, it was just for two minutes.

So, during a time when Phoebe had something important to her taken away, a part of her identity taken away, she made a connection with someone she trusted and believed to be her friend. Of course she'd trust her, of course she'd try to essentially hang out with her friend for just a couple minutes.

She didn't know what was going to happen next.

[king-mera]

what are your thoughts on frozen empire? What are its failures?

Oy Vey…

I've already ranted my thoughts both in posts and in private, so what can I say that hasn't already been said? I'll just try to summarize my main gripes.

The cast is bloated with too many characters and none of them have enough screentime to properly showcase or develop their personalities. It's honestly a shame too, because Afterlife set up Phoebe, Trevor, Lucky, and Podcast as the new main four Ghostbusters to parallel to the OGs, who could be their mentors. Instead we got the Spengler family, along with Nadim, and lars. It's not as tight and focus as it should be, in my opinion. I don't hate Lars, but his inclusion bothers me in particular because his role could easily be filled by other characters. I don't know why he's being pushed as "the new Egon" either when Phoebe was already shown to have so much in common with him.

Speaking of Phoebe, what the Hell were the writers trying to do with her? In her first appearance she was funny, clever, and brave. She had a temper sure, but only when she was pushed to her breaking point. She also knew how to be a team player, working with her friends and family to prevent the apocalypse. In just her second appearance, suddenly she's snapping at her parents, recklessly causing damage, arrogantly taking all credit for saving the world, and preferring the company of a ghostly stranger over people. Disturbingly enough, she develops a morbid fascination with becoming a ghost herself. Where did this come from? She behaves more like Rowan North from the 2016 film. What happened to the determined young girl who stood up to the god of destruction and refused to die? Now she's locking herself into a metal box and painfully electrocuting herself in a scene that resembles self-harm or suicide. All this to separate her soul from her body just to be closer to this girl she's hinted to have a crush on.

Phoebe never needed a love interest of any gender, explicit or implied. It doesn't serve her story when there were so many other interesting things about her that could've been explored instead. How does she live up to the legacy of her grandfather? Is she worried about repeating his mistakes? Does she struggle to be taken seriously as a child doing an adult's job? There were already two other romantic subplots that deserved focus anyway: Callie with Gary and Trevor with Lucky. Adding a third one at this point just comes out of nowhere. Not to mention all the other elements of Phoebe and Melody's relationship that make it weird, like the age gap between the actors or the fact that melody is DEAD. Even if you ignore the flirty undertones and interpret their interactions as platonic, it's still a toxic situation because Melody is only manipulating Phoebe to release the real villain Garakka.

Garakka fails to impress me, too. He has little in the way of personality or motive. His visual design has a striking silhouette at first glance, but it's rather plain compared to other ghosts in the series. There’s nothing about him that suggests the culture he’s from (what was a frost giant/lich doing in India?). I don't understand why they make such a big deal out of his horns either, they're the source of his power yet he's able to do things without them. The horns are also conveniently locked in the same room as his orb, so he's able to quickly retrieve them. They might as well have stayed stuck on his head the whole time! What's so scary about this guy anyway? He's cold, naked, and skinny. That's not scary, it's just me stepping out of the shower.

Well, I guess Garakka deserves some credit for killing that random store clerk. The only on-screen kill in GB film besides Shandor in the last movie, and it’s some poor innocent bystander. Normally I wouldn’t mind such a thing, but it sucks that Phoebe and Nadim are indirectly responsible for this dude’s death through their irresponsibility. All the characters seem incompetent here. The Firehouse and the new lab don’t have adequate safety measures, and apparently Egon never thought to plan ahead for if the containment unit got full. That last point is a non-issue that just wastes time since the lab has backup units and Garakka breaks the main one from the outside anyway.

There are several moments that come across as mean-spirited and cynical, from Podcast crushing the old lady’s watch (that belonged to her late husband) to Lucky and Trevor cracking sex jokes about Nadim’s dead Grandmother. I complain about Phoebe’s attitude, but it’s not like she has a good support network. Her parents are dismissive of her and Ray doesn’t ask her what’s wrong when she asks if he ever wondered what it’s like to be a ghost.

We get a happy ending when Garakka is trapped and Melody crosses over, but it rings hollow when nobody acted as they should. They only acted how the convoluted plot demanded them to.

Oh and those mini-pufts, how I despise them. They were fine in Afterlife but now they’ve overstayed their welcome and become the new minions.

This whole movie feels like a bad dream and as far as I'm concerned, it's not canon.

[phoebeejeebies]

thinking about phoebe exploring ray's apartment when she moves to new york city, a few days after her family move into the firehouse. thinking hard about how ray's occult books has remnants of egon everywhere, if you look hard enough. if you squint, there's a memory here and there. amongst all of ray's other memorabilia that means a lot to him. thinking about how ray sees him in her SO much. how her mannerisms are so similar, and yet distinctly phoebe. and when phoebe steps foot into his apartment, it's so distinctly Ray. and there's elements of ghostbusting, mostly memories, everywhere. and if you squint, there's a photo of these young ghostbusters, faded but youthful nonetheless. and if you squint, there's a pile of letters, dated letters with egon's handwriting on it. and she recognises this handwriting, of course she does. she's seen it before when she was in summerville!!! at her grandfathers place !!!!!!!! and im thinking about the cogs turning in her head as she slowly pieces together the closeness her grandfather had with this Mr. Ray she looks up to so dearly.

oh boy i am thinking . . .

(heavily inspired from THIS!!!! fic !!!!)

[jenevawashere]

This was originally a reblog on one of @phoebeejeebies posts but I'm still internally screaming about it so you can now suffer with us! (if you want more context go read theirs first)

OK! I NEED TO RANT BECAUSE BRAIN ROT OF THIS SCENE AND THE IMPLICATIONS HAVE NOT GONE AWAY SINCE I LEFT THE THEATER!

Phoebe takes the chess set with her, knowing no one will be there because it's night time. She does all of this as if it is a routine she does once a week. It doesn't feel like a spur of the moment decision. This is something she has done multiple times since moving to New York.

Now we do need to mention, she is a fifteen year old alone in New York City at night in a park. That is a really stupid thing to do alone in any city at night no matter your age. The repetitive nature with which she does this suggests to me that she isn't worried about this because she knows that she isn't alone.

I have yet to listen to the soundtrack for GFE, but I have an ear for music cues and reprises (Infinity War and Endgame were music goldmines for me and I remember losing my mind at the music choices in the theater, so much so that my silent nerding out annoyed my dad). Somehow, without knowing that the reused the first bit of Chess, I recognized what the tune implied along with Phoebe's actions.

I don't remember who plays first, but when the other chess piece moves, she looks around as if she's looking for someone. Again! Keep in mind, this is a weekly occurrence. She isn't confused because she's playing chess with a ghost, she's confused because Egon has yet to materialize.

When Melody materializes, Phoebe is disappointed that it isn't him. You can see it in her face. This is something sacred that she does with her grandfather once a week. Something her family doesn't know about. Ok, maybe Trevor knows.

If Egon did/does actually come back to visit, you can't tell me he only spent time with Phoebe. He literally helped Trevor fix the Ecto in GA, he was supervising Trev the entire time. There's even a small moment when the Ecto is going through the field that you can see the silhouette of another person in the car through the back windshield. I highly doubt Egon would let his grandson do something so reckless unsupervised. (Yes this was probably a camera man or a member of the stunt crew or something, but if it were, wouldn't they have removed it?)

After being benched, Phoebe needs someone to talk to, someone who will understand, and he isn't there. Instead, there's this ghost of some girl that's on fire and, oh, she's kinda cute...

NOW! IF this is something Phoebe and Egon do regularly (as is implied), why isn't he there?

I think, he heard about Garraka down some spiritual grape vine and knows that the ice age personified can control other spirits, or maybe he read something about it during self imposed watch duty in Summerville. The only reason Melody isn't being controlled like a puppet is because she made a deal with Garraka. Egon would know how dangerous being around the orb is.

These are his friends we're talking about. This is his family! He left to protect them by standing on the front line when no one else would. They are his world at this point. If his being there even as a ghost is what will put them in danger, then he is going to stay the fuck away if it will keep them safe.

The night after everything has thawed, I'd like to think that Phoebe went out at night and went back to the park without the chess set. He was waiting for here there, ready to comfort her in the way he couldn't a few days before.

*takes a deep breath, then screams* AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sillyreallyidk]

ehh i tend to ramble on my stories on insta but idk i might do both on here and tumblr

(SPOILERS OF COURSE) I HAVE FINALLY WATCHED GHOSTBUSTERS AFTERLIFE‼️‼️‼️

anywho, yes i finally watched it. and i actually loved it??? like it felt so nostalgic even though i like watched the originals billions of times with my father. but bro it felt so different just hearing the old ost and ambience dude. like holy shitttt😭. it was so so so so great watching it. nice seeing the spirits/ghosts like shootingv stars in a way? felt so bad when i saw egons death from the chair (rip :(() it made me honestly happy to see phoebe have characteristics from her grandfather like MWAH. ik it’s just curly hair and glasses but idc top notch tbh.

she so silly though i love her and her jokes. ig the landlord was nice enough to change the locks when they’re out (like that won’t matter for her) made me feel so happy that egon wanted to play chess (or it couldve been some other ghost) and play with phoebe. i wish i got to see it in theaters and not beeen like “wahhh wahhh its a new movie from a older movie that i love its gonna be terrible!!” imd, i saw halloween kills that year and it was pretty decent, so i thought it was just gonna be BLEH or something ig. but Podcast honestly reminded me of Ray ngl like THEIR HAIRRRR‼️

im sure they did it intentionally but ibjust love it man. and ray knowing podcast’s podcast. LIKE that warmed my heart man😭😭😭. it was honestly sweet that egon was directing with the lights and showing phoebe what to do to fix the proton blaster like awhhhh 😭😭. OH AND THEM FINDING THE GHOSTBUSTERS CAR LIKE AHHHH. but honestly such a cool sweet heart warming story. i sure did miss gozer tbh. big surprise to see jk simmons there tbh😭 and then split in half poor fellow just wanted to rule the world too ig

just loved it when she said it here too “are you a god?” 😭😭 and then ray had to remember silky ray. but so sweet to see that egon help out phoebe and see thebold gang and hugging his daughter :(((. even though he said like NOTHING it was still so so so sweet. i bet harold ramis would be so proud of this movie if there is an afterlife perchance. i should be like doing schoolwork right now but here i am rantijg to like 2 of my closest friends EVER (ily both so so much if you even read this) or even the internet 😭😭😭 but oh well.

kinda myv only complaint about the film is that they just deepened the voices ofbthe mom and gooberson when they were possessed by gatekeeper and keymaster and even the eyes were very red like ik it was like that KINDA in the first film but cmon man. anywho rant over. WAY BETTER THAN THE 2016 VERSION.

9.3/10

i think i may watch the frozen empire one pirately like i did with afterlife‼️‼️

[fandomweirdo74829]

This my Trevor Spengler’s fanart and head cannons from my fanfic Ghostbusters: Haunting Adventures:

Trevor became interested in cars since he was 10

Since becoming a middle schooler he was trusted by Callie to watch over the house and Phoebe whenever she has work

He started to work on cars when he was 11

Trevor is bisexual but he tends to lean towards women

His gay awakening was Shang from Mulan and Hercules but he became aware in eight grade

He still have feelings for Lucky but didn’t want to ruin their friendship because of it so he kept it a secret

Phoebe and Trevor have siblings night which is watching a horror movies (more 80s horror) and geek out after watching it

While Phoebe is book smart Trevor is emotional smart

Trevor likes Podcast and whenever the girls are having their ‘girls day’ or they’re free they play video games together

Despite of Phoebe and Podcast creating new gadgets for the team Trevor always updates/create something for Ecto-1 to help things easier busting ghosts on the road

Trevor and Callie would go to local drag racing, get some lunch and talk for mother/son day

Both Phoebe and Trevor approves of Gary since they think Gary is a lot better father figure than their bio

Trevor and Egon would spent HOURS telling each other’s life stories and occasionally Egon would teach about engineering

He felt insecure when people compare him to his family since he wasn’t a genius like his grandfather and sister while wasn’t cunning as Callie

Trevor makes sure the equipment is all good for the next mission and if not then he’ll let the others know not to use that equipment

Trevor is like grand nephew to Winston and Peter while step grandson to Janine and Ray

[deathmetalunicorn1]

Phoebe Spengler Reader with Platonic Tesla, Beelzebub, other Scientists, Jack, Hermes, Buddha, Hades and Apollo who’s the granddaughter of Egon Spengler one of the original Ghostbusters (If you seen the newest ghostbuster movies)

She’s socially awkward, introverted, has a hard time making friends, a unique sense of humor (Science jokes) but also highly intelligent and has a scientific mind, being able to keep up conversations with the Scientists and Tesla despite being 12 years old (This is set in Ghostbusters: Afterlife)

She’s known for doing her own experiments and inventions, even if they’re dangerous

She’s proud of who her grandfather is, as they’re the same, both being different from others, yet are intellectual geniuses (As knowing who he was made her feel accepted and that she’s not weird)

Her ‘terrible’ science jokes and puns always gives Tesla and the Scientists a good laugh (Why can’t you trust atoms? Because they make up everything)

If you don’t know who this is then it’s okay to ignore this, I love Ghostbusters

Forgive me my dear for responding so late to this, but I haven't seen any of the newer Ghostbuster movies. I've only ever seen the original one and the 1st sequel :(

I apologize but I won't be able to write this as I don't know this character to be able to write it correctly.

[ask-melody-hayes]

Have u gotten to meet Egon yet weaving in and out of the universe?

Yeah. Hes also watching down on Pheobe, which is sort of sweet to see first hand. . .

He’s really, really proud of her . Based on what I’m seein’, Pheobe is absolutely her grandfather’s granddaughter . No doubts at ALL in my mind about that.

He’s really fascinated by me, asking me all sorts of questions about what it feels like to keep materializing and dematerializing.

He’s given me a few theories of his as to why it’s happening. We both think it’s because of the unfinished business I have with Pheobe.

[inevitablemoment]

What We May Yet Spend

Fandom: Ghostbusters Pairings: Egon Spengler/Cathleen Paige Spengler, Phoebe Spengler/Melody

"You were falling in love with her... weren't you?"

Phoebe looked back up at her grandmother. Though she tried her best to hide it, she couldn't hide both her confusion towards her grandmother's question and her trepidation of how the older woman would react if she answered "Yes."

So, instead, Phoebe responded with another question. "Why do you ask?"

Cathleen smiled at her.

"The look on your face..." she sat back down on the couch next to Phoebe. "That's the same look that your grandfather would have every time he looked at me."

[pluralzalpha]

Genuine storylines from episodes of The Real Ghostbusters (part 2):

Egon is turned into a baby.

A Donald Trump stand-in opens a hotel, mistakenly hires it out to a ghost convention (also a dentist convention, they're much worse).

There's an entire episode based on 'Citizen Kane.'

The guys encounter vampires living in archaic villages on two separate occasions. Both times they act like they've never met them before.

They also meet a ghost vampire who sucks slime.

Egon swaps bodies with Slimer.

Yes, gremlins destroy Peter's car. Ray and Egon invent a car that can indefinitely repair and redesign itself. They don't use this incredible invention to secure their fortune. They do meet Aretha Franklin though (sadly offscreen).

Some guy tries to start Ragnarok because his girlfriend dumped him.

The guys go to Paris to fight French ghosts, discover the Eiffel Tower is a ghost containment unit.

They go on a camping holiday and meet Bigfoot, who is from another dimension.

Egon awakens a dragon who belonged to his great-great-multiple-greats-grandfather, who was a wizard.

The guys go to a space station to rescue a crew of Star Trek character pastiches from a giant orange glob monster.

They fight fricking Cthulhu.

| OPEN ; Trevor Spengler |

"That was New York, 1984." He explained as the looked at the picture. "That one there is my Grandfather, Egon. He and the Ghostbusters saved the world that day." He explained.

"Then a few years ago...he sacrificed himself to save the world again." Trevor frowned. "I never got to get to know him, which sucks, but he was a good guy."

[king-mera]

If the Summerville squad have to deal with a ghost who handles time related abilities and they were accidentally sent back in time when the original ghostbusters are in their prime time, how do you think it would go?

Oof, this is one doozy of a question. Unfortunately I cannot give you the answer you were hoping for.

I don't think this concept would work for several reasons:

The original Ghostbusters film is, to me, a perfect story that shouldn't be tampered with. Sending characters back in time to that era would only mess things up and make events needlessly complicated. Even if they weren't smack in the middle of the 1984 film's plot, several other issues come up.

When it comes to time travel, characters either have to carefully make sure they don't change the events, or they alter history. The former option would be frustrating to watch and call into question what the point of sending them back was in the first place. The latter risks creating paradoxes. If Phoebe and Trevor were able to see their Grandfather when he was still alive, I can't imagine they'd be able to resist trying to warn him about the events of Afterlife and avoid the disastrous falling out he had with his family and the other Ghostbusters. Sure, it would be nice to have a perfect timeline where nothing bad ever happens to Egon and his loved ones, but then the central conflict of Afterlife is removed and the new GBs lose their origin story.

If the new characters go back to help the OGs, then the OGs lose their agency. Not only that, but this plot would place greater emphasis on the OGs and take attention away from the new characters. Neither group really benefits here.

Instead, I propose an alternative time travel story idea: Have a ghost send each member of the Summerville Squad to different times and places in history. The early IDW comics had a similar arc at one point and I think it would be fun here. I'm also picturing all this happening when the squad is older. Lucky could be sent to ancient Africa, Podcast to the golden age of piracy, Trevor to the 1920's with gangsters, and Phoebe to WW2 (OK maybe that last one's a little dark, but I want to see Phoebe punch Nazis). Each of them would have to find a way to reunite and return to the present, but they'd get sent off course to the distant future where the ghost has taken over. They'd have to find a way to defeat it by finding some equipment that remained intact for all the years they skipped (I'm pulling that idea from an episode of Extreme Ghostbusters). With the ghost captured, the heroes would be able to return to their own time and prevent the bad future from happening.

Alright, that ended up being a bit long. Sorry again that I went in a different direction than you suggested, but I hope you found my ideas interesting anyway! Maybe there's someone else who could make your initial idea work, but it's just not something I would do personally.

[lighthouseas]

ok so. gb frozen empire spoilers below .

-every time finn came onscreen i giggled and squealed it's true. trevor was fucking HILARIOUS in this dude. he's just a massive loser and doesn't really do too much and honestly ? im okay with that.
