#egon spengler headcanon

[engiespengie]

I see a lot of Egon playlists and fanfics with 80s music, and I love those! This is not a diss post. BUT.

I see your 80s music Egon and raise you:

60s and 70s music Egon. Think about it, do you know one middle aged man who knows/likes a lot of current music? That man was in his 20s in the late 60s/early-mid 70s. I like to imagine a younger, slightly looser college-aged Egon dancing to some up-beat 60s/70s music in his free time.

[egonspenglerishot]

can i request Egon Spengler x reader where reader is a scientist and has a ghost in their lab? Reader talks very technical (similar to Egon) and maybe the other ghostbusters struggle to understand what they are talking about, but reader ends up correcting Egon on something and he’s just smitten? (i have a head-cannon that Egon loves it when he’s challenged scientifically)

Hehehehehe YES

“What. Just. Happened-“

Egon x scientist!reader

Warnings: eh it gets a bit…suggestive.

A silent groan escaped your lips as you looked up. The phantasm was still persisting with its tricks. You picked up the phone and dialed the Ghostbusters number, answering the receptionists questions. When assured you they were on their way, you put the phone down and took a few samples of the sticky residue that dripped from your book shelf. Maybe this could be useful.

You set the sample in a safe place and straightened your jacket out. Being a Doctor of Parapsychology and Science you knew this was atleast a class 4. You picked up your copy of Tobins Spirit Guide and began looking through, though it seemed the phantasm wasn’t in said Guide. You hummed as a knock on the door grabbed your attention. You opened the door and there they were, The Ghostbusters. You stepped aside to let them in and rolled your eyes at Peter Venkmans poor poor attempt at flirting. You brushed him off and turned to Ray Stantz. You’d seen his work before “The phantasm isn’t in Tobins, I checked. It seems to be a class 4. It has all the traits of a class 4, slightly more aggressive bordering on a class 5”

Ray and Peter looked at eachother with raised eyebrows then back at you. You’d turned your back to them, looking for something in a drawer. You pulled out a Geiger counter and ran if I’ve the slime as Egon Spengler was going over your office with a PKE meter. You hummed and took a mental note of the readings on the Geiger counter. Ray cleared his throat “have you seen the phantasm miss? Could you describe it?” You hummed and looked at him “I have seen it, a large, red mass of ectoplasm and anger. It has no facial features as far i saw, it had no legs but shoe stubby arms and it squealed like a pig” you out the counter down and looked at Egon who was currently scanning you.

“She’s right Ray, if the readings on the PKE are anything to go by, it’s definitely a boarding on being a level 5 phantasm, a nasty one at that” Egon looked at Ray then the others. Peter looked at them confused “Egon…for one moment pretend that I don’t know anything about parapsychology and dumb it down for me?” You rose a brow and snapped Tobins spirit guide shut making all four of them jump. “Well Dr Venkman, as you are so clueless, let me enlightened you. The big red blob is causing havoc in my office. It is disrupting my work and research, now I am a fellow doctor of Parapsychology and Science. So I’m sure you can share the sentiment of hating being disturbed!”

Peter flinched and looked at Winston and Ray before shrugging “we can’t guarantee that your office will still be in one piece when we have caught said phantasm” Ray told you and you rolled your eyes “okay” you grabbed your research and Tobins, leaving the room. A few hours later the boys walked out holding a smoking trap .

“You were right. A level 4 bordering on 5” Egon nodded at you and you didn’t even look up “I know. Is that it? How much did you destroy?” Egon looked at Ray and rolled his eyes “luckily your office is unscathed your coworkers offices however…not so much” you stood up and snapped your book shut. “How much do you want? And make it quick I have research to be doing” Egon looked at Peter and he gave his signature poor flirty smile. “How does 4,000 sound hm?” You pulled out your cheque book and wrote it for 4000 before ripping it out and giving it to Egon. “I was wondering if you would like to work together, you said you’re a Dr of Parapsychology. The ectoplasm is seemingly negatively charged so I would like to run some tests”

You rose a brow and looked at him “Well it’s actually neutral until exposed to outside elements such as my anger toward Dr Venkman and I’m going to suppose Dr Venkmans annoyance at his poor flirting tactics” the room went silent and Egon pushed his glasses up gently. He looked down hiding his bright red face, god you were perfect.

Winston looked between you, Egon and the other two and rose a brow “What. Just. Happened-“

Egon Spengler Relationship Headcanons

author’s note: i did implied nsfw for this but decided last minute not to add them bc i personally cannot see egon in such things, if that makes sense. so no nsfw hcs. (again, this is a personal opinion and decision. don’t feel discourage by this.)

Pairings: Egon Spengler x reader (ROMANTIC)

Warnings: none (?)

Not proofread

General HCs

•You met Egon through Ray, he introduced you two and you instantly had an interest in the scientist.

• After awhile, Egon began to feel more comfortable with you and this blossomed into a friendship.

• You listened to his theories and watched him work long nights. You brought him coffee, occasionally sweets when he requested.

• Time went on, you fell in love with him and it became a little hard to hide it because you two were always together. Little bumps, skin contact, light touching, you always felt your face warm up and your stomach did flips.

• Ray knew you liked Egon but you were too embarrassed to admit it. He was happy to hear this because he knew Egon had a thing for you as well.

• Eventually things fell into place with Ray’s help and Egon confessed to you during one of your long nights. This caught you by surprise and you thought he was just tired but he assured you he was being serious. You just smiled at him and gave him a date before leaving for the night.

• After that date, came along many other dates and you both became official. You loved Egon so much and it came easy when talking.

• Egon was never the one for physical touch so you always asked him if it was okay to hug him or hold his hand.

• One night where he was staying at your apartment and he had brought his work along, his hand found yours as you read a book. You felt yourself smile a bit because it felt like a natural reflex.

• Egon slowly began to move into your apartment, first came a few pairs of clothes, then his toothbrush and comb, then his books, then eventually you asked him to move in with you. He only said,”I thought I already did.”

• You often wore his shirts to bed, he didn’t mind because he found it sweet. Just as long as it wasn’t his important shirts.

• Whenever Egon came home late because of work, he would find you laid out on the couch. He hated that you would stay up just for him and he reminded himself to have a talk with you.

• Egon was a lover of sweets but you had to remind him to drink his water and eat healthy sometimes. Occasionally, you would spoil him by getting him his favourite chocolate bars but that’s pretty much it. You wanted a boyfriend for a long time, not a short time.

• He’s not the one for nicknames but he didn’t mind anyone giving him them. You often called him honey or love. He can’t lie to himself and say he doesn’t like those nicknames which are meant for him only.

• Your first kiss, you both were tired but he still had work to do. When he told you it was okay if you wanted to go to bed. You just looked at him and leaned in for a kiss. He didn’t move and just let you kiss him. You told him it was time for bed, he just asked you to do it again. You gave him another kiss and he kissed back. After that, you asked him if it was now time for bed, he answered with a yes.

[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 . . .

Headcanons, Being Ray Stantz's Child

gender neutral!reader, child!reader

Being born during the groups college days, and just adding a dose of daily chaos to their otherwise uneventful studies.

Three men and a baby. Enough said. It's absolute pandemonium.

Ray being the mother hen. Egon being the irresponsible father, and Peter being the fun uncle.

You have an entire family, even if not by blood.

Ray bringing you to college with him, and multitasking because he can't afford childcare.

Him using you as someone to rattle off all his theories about the occult and paranormal to before you can even crawl.

Peter uses you as a 'mini wing-man'. Women flock to him because they think you're his child and find the fact that he's a seemingly decent single dad attractive. (GIRL, IT'S THE BARE MINIMUM) Peter being himself, of course, doesn't bother to correct them.

Constant compliments being directed towards you by women, to which Peter's reply is always the same.

'Mhmmm, yeah, they get their looks from their father' *insert cocky, arrogant smirk*

Ray then reminding him that he's not actually the father.

'Oh, no, I know, I was complimenting you, honey' *cocky, arrogant smirk still in place, this smug guy knows exactly what he's doing*

Ray immediately becoming quiet and turning a bright, red colour, stumbling, tripping, collapsing over the English language, of which he's usually quite eloquent with. Then picking you up in his arms, and walking off muttering variants of profanities and insults directed at Peter

This section was greatly inspired by a ficlet my friend, @xraylovers wrote for me :) Thanks for letting me use your idea bestie.

Egon views you as a science experiment... problems ensue.

Days spent leaning over old occult books, the dusty aroma worn like a birthday badge as a testament to the age of the journal drifting into his child's face as Ray carefully reads each line.

Him having no concern as to whether this is proper bedtime story material for a 5 year old, as long as their happy, which, judging from the small inquisitive smile and plethora of questions asked, they most definitely are.

Ray is so excited to have a mini replica of him, just as interested in the occult as he is, someone to share his special interest with and experience the excitement and wonder of it all for the first time through their eyes.

Peter looking upon Y/N as his niece/nephew and calling them 'Baby Stantz' or 'The Littlest Ghostbuster' or variations upon. All the while, Y/N constantly complaining about wanting to be a Ghostbuster now.

Naturally, Peter buys a mini Ghostbusters suit with 'Baby Stantz' custom inscribed as the name tag, as well as a toy replica proton-pack. Which Egon promptly turns into a miniature, but fully-working proton-pack... until Ray confiscates it, sharing some harsh words with Egon about children's safety.

'Ray, I was merely teaching Y/N the proper way to operate a proton pack to prepare them for when they become a Ghostbuster'

'EGON! You can't give a child an unlicensed nuclear accelerator!'

Winston becoming the only semi-normal parental figure you have: Egon knows nothing about children, your dad is an extreme mother hen, and Peter is... himself.

Your dad would often take you out in the Ecto-1, wheels spinning, sirens blaring (after you begged ro have the sirens on, and every time he agrees because he has no backbone when it comes to you). You roll down the window and hold your hand out, letting the air rush through your fingers in quick succession as you take in the sights of New York City.

Despite his initial protest, when you became a little older and he realised how serious and passionate you were about following in his footsteps, your dad taught you how to use a proton pack and ghost trap (while supervised of course!) in the basement. While others your age were playing sports or video games, you were being taught how to wrangle ghosts and spirits.

Despite the dangers and challenges of being a Ghostbuster, you've always been proud of your dad and your family. They're not just heroes to the world, they're heroes to you, too.

Might i request an Egon Spengler and a nerdy dorky kinda reader that knows a lot about the paranormal, or is a parapsychologist like them in general?

Two Nerds falling in love headcanons:

Paring: Egon spengler x Nerdy!Venkman!Reader

Summary: headcanons about Egon falling in love with Peter Venkman's Nerdy little sister.

💚MasterList 💚dating mood board

I think you guys would be clueless to your feelings, like they're obviously there and everyone can see It expect you two.

Your really in the paranormal, your old brother Peter would always tell you stuff about the poltergeists and ghosts and soon enough you were studying and were obsessed with it as well.

It was no suprise that the team was impressed by your knowledge of the paranormal, but no one was more impressed than Egon.

And your well... A dork, and there's nothing wrong with that. Your extremely smart and just passionate about the things you love.

[pausing and currently breaking the 4th wall] I'm a dork, so I don't get upset by this label, dorks are amazing people to be around.

Any-who, like Egon your a quiet person, but if the conversation brings up something you love you'll be talking to that person about it for hours. It also helps if your used to the person too.

There was one night you and Ray had a long conversation about Scooby-Doo where are you? And The Twilight Zone.

Egon I very reserved and quiet guy, it's rare for him to give in to human urges or emotions, so it didn't go unnoticed to Peter and the others how he'd turn red in the cheeks at just the mere sight of you.

Without realizing it he fell for your brain and knowledge first, you'd often a company him in the Lab and quickly cought on to how the protonpacks work and how to repair the damaged ones.

Your also very passionate about ghosts and haunted places, you go out of your way to find cool abandoned place that could be haunted. At first Peter found it bizarre but found it cool when you found a haunted amusement park.

“do you all think we can take a trip to Colorado and see if the overlook hotel is really haunted?” you asked.

Egon remembers the little things and that's one of the things that made your relationship special. He remembered you bring up the overlook hotel and he took you a vacation to see it.

Speaking of ghosts, you had a strange sympathy for Slimer, he was the only ghost you encountered that was no harm to anyone. The green dude was just eating.

Your also a movie nerd, you'll qoute movies on calls and 9 times out of 10 Egon won't understand. This ment you guys will have many movie nights in your future.

“I don't understand that reference”

“I know you don't, that's going on the list too”

It got to the point in your relationship that you'd flirt without relizing it... Or how ever how nerdy people flirt.

Your brother Peter is always teasing you, even before you guys started dating. To him he's know from day one that you guys liked each other, he'd always have a snide commit like, “He’s dying…” Peter said sadly. “He asked us to bring him here so he could see you one last time and tell you that he lo—ow!” He yelped when Ray smacked him with the rag he was using to clean the protonpacks after a call.

But, your brother got tired of it, the consent glances you'd sneek and how Egon desperately tried to find the right words to flatter you with.

“Hey, sis, you busy Saturday night?” Peter asked one night. “no?”

“Egon, you busy?” he asked. “I'm not”

“good, because I am... You two go out and have a good time”

Yeah your brother asked Egon out on a date for you. Neither one of you knew how to proses what your brother did but it didn't stop you guys from going out.

It was awkwardly sweet, you guys went to a musem and just talked the who time.

“when it comes to things like this I'm not good with words, but y/n I do have an attraction to you... You just make my life more enjoyable”

You kissed his cheek which made you both blushed. “I like you too Egon”

After your some what of a confession, Egon got more comfortable expressing his emotions to you, and you only.

You both didn't have the best childhoods. Egon's parents didn't let him be a kid and often only cared about if he got an equation right. With yours, well they weren't around much after their devorce and you once told Egon that Peter practically raised you.

After he told you and Ray about the slinky he straightend, you took him to a toy store to get him something cool. You got him a toy airplane and stuffed giraffe.

They both set on a self in his lab so he can see it everyday. He fell deeper in love you when you went out of your way to make him feel loved.

He didn't relize how touch starved he was till he met you, usually he didn't really like it but when you started holding his hand or hugging him from behind on the lab he couldn't help but crave more.

“I'd like another hug... Please?”

You'll give him all the hugs he wants and more.

Kissing took a while to enter the relationship, you were both shy and suprisenly Egon instigated it. He'd give a kiss good-bye on the forehead before a call or he'll kiss your cheek in the early mornings before he heads to the lab.

Peter also goes out of his way to tell embarrasing stories about you. “ya know, when y/n was four I told her if she ate the Fortune out of the fortune cookie it'll come true, she totally ate the paper!” he laughed, you'd turne red when Egon heard it. Egon smiled softly and just wanted to hear more about you.

There will always be an ongoing fight about him not getting enough sleep, you love him and you don't want him spending all night in his lab but he'll always be like, “I don't need to go to bed. I'm not tired, I'll be fine.”

When he's clearly tired but still trying to not to be wrong you'll not give up and try to persuade him to come to bed with you “But, Love, I'll be so lonely without you. Come curl up in my arms so I can feel whole again.”

“O-oh. Well. Are you trying to seduce me into healthy sleeping patterns??” he asked.

“I-is it working?” he knows your just trying to look out for him and eventually he will break down and follow you to bed you share in the Firehouse.

He is very gentle boyfriend and taking care of you as softened his heart a lot. He's type of man to cover you with a blanket when you fall asleep on the couch after kissing your forehead. Or carry you to bed if you fall asleep at your desk in the Lab.

He is amazed by you, even if you breathe he's like a love sick puppy. Everything you do just makes him fall even harder for you. Something as little as using the Dewy desim system to organize your guys book collection just amazes him or something as simple as organizing the snack cabinet.

Egon loves and needs physical affection. After every call, no matter how messy you guys are he will instantly engulfs you in a the biggest hug. Or if your working on something in the Lab and he needs a cuddle break, he'll stand behind you and wrap his arms around your waist and rest his chin on your shoulder so he can watch you work.

When he dose come to bed you guys are always cuddling or close to each other. If your not cuddling and he's sleeping on his stomach, your draped over his back using him as a pillow.

You both wear glasses and sometimes if there's a call in the middle of the night you two will get them switched up in midst of running around getting ready. You both have similar prescriptions so you won't notice until Peter says something.

Peter couldn't stop laughing the first time it happened because at the time your glasses were purple.

Even though your pretty smart, Egon dose say things that even you need a dictionary to know what he's saying. You know scientific names but sometimes your mouth works faster than your brain and words like 'swabie thing' comes out instead of swab.

“I need a... A Swabie thing to get a sample with”

“a what?” Egon asks as you digged in the drawers of your lab.

You guys are an unstoppable force in the Lab, you two just woke well together and have your own methods.

I don't know if he's the marriage type, but just know he won't leave your side. He'll get possessed by a spirit before he'll leave you.

Ghostly friendship || Egon Spengler x GHOST!Reader

Description: Y/N is a ghost and meets Egon randomly in a park and they becomes friends

Pairing: Elon Spengler x ghost!reader (platonic)

warnings: Nothing , just fluff

.When I had first met Egan I had already been dead for a little while and for some reason I hadn’t moved on , I was what some people called a wonderer and I wondered the human realm to figuring how to move on

.But one afternoon as the sun started too set and I was walking the length of the park for the trillionth time , I saw a tall man with glasses and brown hair sit down , set up the pieces on the built in chess board and made the first move , a few moments go by and as I was starting too think the man was crazy he said loudly enough that anybody a few metres away could hear him “if anyone wants too play chess with with me can” and as I heard him say that I realised he wanted too see if any ghosts were close and as I materialised in the chair opposite chair of him , I thought about it and quickly made my move “I’m guessing that you aren’t very good at chess” the man chuckled as he made another move “yeah , it’s not really my forte , I don’t really remember the last time I played chess” I giggled as I thought about my moves “well it’s nice too meet you , I’m Egon” Egon said while holding out his right hand , “it’s y/n” I reply with a handshake

.And as the sun set and we kept talking while playing chess and after a while after the sun set the match ended with me losing horrifically, but I didn’t really care because I felt like I had made a friend in what felt like forever

.After that first meeting we kept meeting up too play chess and just talk , he also kept the fact that I was a ghost a secret and we’ve been friends ever since

So, you know that necklace with the three stars that Callie wears?

Okay, I have a headcanon about that.

The necklace was a gift that Egon sent to Callie after Trevor was born. Her ex-husband was the one to find it in the mail and passed the gift off as his "push present" to her; it originally came with two stars, but she added a third after Phoebe was born.

In the Cathleen Lives AU, Cathleen is the one to give it to Callie, but Egon asks her not to tell Callie that it's from him. It's only after the end of Afterlife that Cathleen tells Callie the truth.

EDIT: When Callie divorces her ex-husband in the canon verse, he fesses up that the necklace wasn't from him, but doesn't tell her that it was from her father.

Ghostbusters brainrot, because I can't stop thinking about it

This is just me talking about all the different units that make up the Ghostbusters business because I have zero self control. Long post, so there's more below the cut.

SLIGHT SPOILERS FOR GHOSTBUSTERS: FROZEN EMPIRE

There's the motorcycle unit, which is pretty self-explanatory. They're mainly used for small busts or quotes since they can't carry a lot of equipment on them, really just a downsized proton pack and one, maybe two traps depending on the model of the bike.

Then we have the Ecto units, from Ecto-1 to Ecto-3. Ecto-1 is retired due to it's age and how hard it is to repair and update to the times, so there's actually only two Ectomobiles available. All Ectos have top notch technology, but are still 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteors. They are custom made for the Ghostbusters so that they can keep their iconic car model but still be functional in modern times. They have a gunner seat (as much as the mayor hates it), pull out rack for the proton packs (fits up to four packs), proton cannon, folding ramp for the remote trap vehicle, and drone trap. The Ectomobiles can fit one gunner, one driver, one front passenger, and three back passengers. These units are used for pretty much any busts.

After the Ecomobiles, we have the humvees, which are really just Ectomobiles but bigger, scarier, faster, and tougher. They also have a Super Slammer Muon Trap on top, and instead of the gunner seat being on the side, they're on the top like a regular gunner seat on any other humvee. They can fit one driver, one front passenger, one gunner, and two back passengers. They are known as Ghost-1, Ghost-2, and Ghost-3. There is a compartment in the back seat that carries four proton packs.

After the Busters we have the Cleaners, who arrive after the Busters do their thing and clean up after them. Sometimes all they have to do it take samples of whatever the ghost left behind, and other times it's a full on biohazard cleanup. The Slimer would've been a biohazard level cleanup for example, as well as the Pink Slime, but a spot in the middle of your hallway that created a sense of dread and cold would be a sample level cleanup.

Of course we have the receptionists, because without them Ghostbusters would not exist. They mainly take calls and send out crews, but occasionally help out during major events like Gozer the Gozerian, the Pink Slime, and Garraka.

We have the Paranormal Research Center, where, with time, had been expanded into a full facility with different units for different types of research. They also have an actual functioning containment system, with hundreds of containment units. Each has a database of what ghosts are in each unit and their full file and date they were caught. Once a week a researcher heads down to the Ghostbusters headquarters to gather all of the traps that had been filled that week to empty them into their containment system. The only ghost currently held under headquarters is Garraka, as it's too dangerous to move that one. The basement is fully off limits without authorization due to its containment. The Paranormal Research Center also has their own emergency units available in case of a major event. This is also where the majority of training for new Ghostbusters is done.

There is an entire wall dedicated to their standard gear (flight suits, boots, gloves) in the truck bay. This wall is almost exactly what the turnout gear racks look like for firefighters. Each Ghostbuster has their own little cubby to hold their gear, as well as a shelf above to hold any extras they may need. This cubby also contains a specialized jacket for cold weather (the red jackets that are seen in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire and are worn by Lucky and Lars) and a helmet (Pacific Helmets WR5, for example). We've seen the Ghostbusters get thrown around enough to have a concussion at least once, and Janine probably had them ordered after the second time the boys came back from a call with welts on the backs of their heads.

After years of being in that falling apart firehouse, they finally have it renovated to fit their needs (and definitely splurging on the fun stuff). Think a glorified firehouse. There's a bar (in Venkman's name), recreation room, kitchen, gym, ready room, and bunk room. An entire floor is dedicated to offices and conference rooms, although those conference rooms are usually used for Super Smash Bros tournaments and gaming because they have large TVs that are awesome for multiplayer games. The containment unit used for Garraka is never touched, and the floor it resides on is off limits without authorization, as stated above. Of course it was renovated in a way, but the unit itself is never touched.

This will definitely be reblogged with more as I come up with it, and feel free to add on!

Heya, this is my first time doing a request but I was wondering if it was possible for you to do some Head cannons of Egon Spengler who has an autistic child? As I'm autistic myself and I rarely see any head cannons or one shots where the reader is autistic but obviously you don't have to do this it's just a request

:) (P.s your work is amazing you were basically the first person I followed on here because of your Egon Spengler one shots)

Hehehehduejdheh your to nice 😭

Egon Spengler with an autistic child:

makes sure all clothing is sensory friendly.

Makes a note of safe foods and foods you don’t like

Makes sure you stay away from the ectoplasm it gives him sensory overload so he can’t imagine what it would be like for you

Teaches you all he knows, makes sure he knows your special interests.

Listens to your info dumps about your interests, especially if it’s to do with paranormal activity or parapsychology

He knows the signs of overload or burnout. So he knows when to get you out of social situations

Always asks if he can have hugs or any form of affection

Always proud of you ❤️

[littleautisticnerd]

Egon Spengler various headcanons

• yk I've seen a couple egon headcanons that claim hes lactose intolerant but idk... im kinda on the fence abt it.

• poor guy's parents didn't believe in toys :(( he spent most of his childhood playing with microscopes and science kits and things.

-he also attempted to experiment on a dead mole he found in his yard. He dissected it and just had a really fun time seeing its guts n everything.

• hes pretty much a clean freak but if he is really invested in his work the ghostbusters office will practically turn into a pig sty.

• he can kinda cook. But only kinda. Like he can make pancakes n waffles n shit like that. But when it comes to actually meals, he'll follow the recipe n everything and he'll try his best and it'll turn out pretty decent actually.

But things get burnt a lot °_°

• he tends to have nightmares on the occasional nights he does dream. He often wakes up violently from them, quickly sitting straight up in bed, wide eyed and sweating.

• let's just say he's not the healthiest eater... he and Ray eat out a lot when they're working in the ghostbusters office together. He always eats dinner but rarely has breakfast and even more scarcely has lunch.

He mostly just eats snacks like cheeze itz, crunch bars, n twinkies. Yk the usual.

• I feel like he's an only child and I unfortunately cannot tell you why. Idk I just get those vibes.

I also feel like he sort of resents his parents a little cos they didn't really allow him to just be a kid when he was young n stuff. He tries to call them on their birthdays and on holidays but other than than they aren't really in touch much.

• his humor majorly consists of penis jokes that no one understands because he uses all these fancy little scientific terms.

• hes a big fan of jazz, disco, n classical music. Hes also a MAJOR abba fan.

• I suppose he sleeps, but its not often and not for very long. He'll usually stay awake into the wee hours of the morning working in the lab.

• probably played the clarinet or something in middle/high school.

thats all, bye 😘

[ariel-seagull-wings]

Do you think Egon prefers coffee or tea?

@bixiebeet @ms-ship @inevitablemoment @professorlehnsherr-almashy @spengnitzed @janeb984 @janegon-forever @canadianhottmess

While he doesn’t dislike coffee per se (is usefull to keep working), he pass the vibes of prefering tea.

[apocalypse-cowboy]

Random Headcanon and Info dump of Scout and the Ghostbusters!!!

Note: It got a little bit rushed near the end, but I do plan on adding more in the future!

So to start off, Scout met Ray and Peter when they all where in college

*At first he didn't really say much to them. Mainly because he didn't know them at all

*Egon had to explain in simple terms (for Peter lol) about how Scout didn't talk to people at first, and instead he either uses sign language or writes everything down if the people dont understand it

The library was quite, something Scout enjoyed about it. He was reading a textbook about different kinds of plants.

He heard multiple sets of footsteps and a quiet, yet recognizable voice of his brother quietly scolding someone.

He feels a gentle tap on his shoulder and he looks at the culprit of the sudden touch, his brother and two other guys slightly behind him. He raised an eyebrow that hid behind the rim of  his glasses and glanced at the other two people behind his beloved brother. His long fluffy hair was tied into a ponytail that swade with the movement.

"Scout," Egon droned "This is Peter and Ray, a couple of colleagues of mine." He said while pointed to the respective people. Peter playfully scoffed "God Egon, you know you can just say we are friends." He mumbled. Ray smiled politely and held his hand out for a handshake "It's nice to me you!" Ray said ever enthusiastic. Scout only stared at him as an awkward silence filled the area.

Egon sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, this was going to be a long day.

*After a bit of time being around them, Scout comes to appreciate their friendship.

*Though sometimes Peter annoyed him, he couldn't lie and say that he didn't care about the guy

*He knows that Peter cares about him Egon and Ray. He's just to prideful to say it

*Scout and Ray, contrary to popular belief, get along like a house on fire

*Since Scout didn't want to talk as much as him, Ray would gladly fill the silence knowing well that the other was listening

The boys went out for dinner tonight. Scout had offered to pay, and after much bickering with Egon it was settled. They were all going for Chinese food.

They had all gotten their food and they were talking and laughing. Enjoying a night without having to worry about any classes the next day. Scout was sitting quietly, it would be normal if it weren't for the fact that he was just picking at his food and not bothering to eat much.

His leg was bouncing up and down, he didn't notice but the others sure did. So without cutting any conversation, Peter playfully nudged Scout's foot from under the table. The other only rolled his eyes and looked at him.

Peter only smirked and slid an egg roll to Scout, knowing that it was one of his favorite things. He let a smile twitch onto his face as he relaxes and eats the treat from his friend.

Scout and Ray were outside by the fountain in front of the University, both of them were waiting for Peter and Egon to meet them there so they could all go to class together.

"So, how was your day so far? Did you get enough sleep last night?" Ray asked his dear friend. Scout only made a 'so, so' hand gesture to say "Not really bad nor good." Ray nodded, understanding exactly what he was trying to say.

"Well," he started looking at his friend "I think I know something that could help!" He was more than happy to help someone he cared about. That was one thing Scout liked about Ray the most. He nodded letting his friend tell him about how some teas might help or also how he could try to take a warm shower before laying down for bed.

*I'm just gonna say it right now, the first time he actually spoke around Ray and Peter was when Peter really pissed him off

It was annoying.

Scout wasn't in the mood for Peter's bullshit. He was currently stressed out about exams that are coming up, and he had barley gotten any sleep the night before.

"So, all I'm saying is th-" "Would you shut the fuck up?!" Peter was abruptly cut off by Scout whisper-shouting to Peter not knowing they would all hear it.

Peter's jaw dropped, Ray was equally surprised and Egon just smirks at his brother and how shocked his friends were.

He found it hilarious okay?

*Now going forward to when they first band together as the Ghostbusters

*At this point, he was more than comfortable around the boys. So much to the point where they got to see a completely different side of him

*He was still his quiet nerdy self, he was just a bit more farel than his brother

*Like his brother, he is very fond of sweets. They didn't get to have most things kids grew up with considering it was a very strict household (R.I.P. slinky you will be missed, iykyk)

*But as soon as Egon and Scout met Peter and Ray, they got hooked on sweet treats and various snacks such as Twinkies and Cheese-Itz that where both a favorite amongst the two of them

*Peter found out the hard way by trying to sneak a Twinkie from the box beside Scout

___________________________

Scout was working in the lab on some new ghost traps while munching on some Twinkies. Peter had meandered into the lab looking to stir up some chaos between his two favorite nerds.

He looked at the box of Twinkies and without a second thought he went to grab one, then suddenly his hand got grabbed and was lightly bitten but Scout.

Peter was startled to say the least "Hey, hey, hey! What the hell!" He raised his voice at him. Egon looked over his shoulder at his friend "Egon! Tell your wild animal over here that he can't bite me!" He said holding his hand as if he was injured.

Egon only snorted in amusement "Well, that is what you get for messing with his food." He said "He's territorial." Peter only rolled his eyes and went back upstairs muttering something about 'Scout was a hazard to society'

___________________________

*When he met Jenine and Winston, Scout was more willing to talk to them when he first met them

*Jenine was like a sister to him. They would often gossip with each other while things where slow

*Winston was on Scout's good side mainly because he was both considerate of his boundaries and was more reserved

*Overall, it was chaotic most days but it was a welcomed chaos and nobody would change it for anything else in the world

Omggg I was gonna send you some asks about Egon headcanons and completely forgot lol

So I saw you headcanon Egon as autistic and wanted to know what kinds of stims you headcanon him to do/have! Also as a bonus what kind of fidgets do you think would work best for him? Because we all know those are hot and miss and not everything works for everybody 😂

It's funny, I had a bit about him being on the spectrum to be widely accepted fanon in the last ask, but trimmed it bc I'd already written a novel.

Stims are one thing I've actually put a lot of thought into as far as his character, cos like you said, they differ from person to person. I stim very differently from my spouse, lmao.

Finger tapping is one that he actually does in the first film; he's tapping his fingers on the surveyor's tape measure he's holding when they first got to the firehouse, and I feel like that's also pretty common. This was also my jumping-off point for a few of his other physical stims.

More under the cut!

So alongside finger tapping, I often see him doing the classic idle leg bounce. Both are mundane and fairly ubiquitous even among NT people, so he doesn't feel the need to actively resist or stop himself. Both motions tap into his sense of proprioception in a very pleasant way. Something about the motion coupled with the resistance of changing direction rapidly just pings his brain Just Right. Another thing that stems from that, but one that he's learned to hide after one too many times getting mocked for it is dancing. I hc he learned to dance as a kid because well, in the late 40s and into the 50s that's just. What one learned to do, and in the first film it's stated that he and the others danced with some people at a club called The Rose. He enjoys the movement for the same reasons he taps his fingers or bounces his leg; there's motion through space, a sort of resistive feeling when there's a change in direction due to inertia, the impact of his feet on the ground. But he only dances whenever he's sure he's alone, so nobody really knows about it and they actually assume he can't dance, especially because he dislikes having to dance with a complete stranger, so his movements become stilted and almost robotic because the proximity to someone he's unfamiliar with.

You get him in the same room with someone he's comfortable with though and it's a different story >:)

Dancing as a stim also leads very nicely into his auditory stim. He's a Song Repeater of the highest caliber, and the music that tickles his brain is very much not what people expect. He tends to gravitate toward songs that have sounds more toward the lower ranges that feel 'fuller' sound-wise. Songs like Don't Bring Me Down by ELO, Gimme Some Lovin' by Spencer Davis Group, and The Loco-Motion by Grand Funk Railroad is one he listened to so much in college that Ray will change the station or turn off the radio outright if it comes on. But anything with a sort of 'heavy' or 'bouncy' feel to it, especially if it has repetitive or broad cyclic elements is going to get his attention most of the time.

He's also got a tactile stim with a bit of a story behind it, but I'll save that for another ask bc it's 1: Long and 2: Involves my headcanons for the kind of people his parents were. So, in lieu of any sort of purpose-made fidget toy, he's almost always got a rocker switch in his pocket:

The motion of clicking it back and forth is very pleasant to him, and he also likes the feel of the switch's smooth, concave profile and sometimes just runs his thumb along the curve rather than actually clicking the switch over. It's small enough to keep in his pocket or even just hold in his hand while he messes with it, and doesn't attract attention. And most importantly it's not loud. I definitely feel like he's one of those people who would have to be physically restrained from attempting to murder the pen-clicker in the room because it feels like someone stabbing him in the brain with a pencil repeatedly. Bad Noise(tm).

Egon with an Extroverted S/O

(a/n): proofread?? ehhh- not quite. was it something keeping me up all night? oh, absolutely. these are some egon headcanons I have if he were to have an extroverted s/o (aka reader). enjoy and don’t be shy to send in any requests as much as you’d like! (I would also appreciate feedback as I’m sorta new to this)

from the very first day you stepped into the firehouse, it wasn’t exactly all head over heels and happily ever after

of course, egon was normally someone cooped up in the lab, tinkering or observing a project of his

however, it was when you applied for a job opening that you came into his life

egon didn’t ignore you, per say, but he did always tend to keep to himself

but here you come strollin’ along

waltzing into the lab

suddenly taking all of your time to show interest and offerings in his work?

yeah, pretty cool

but listening and actually understanding AND showing interest in his own???

like- you actually LISTENED TO HIM RAMBLING ABOUT SPORES AND MOLDS??

HE IS IN LOVE

so he starts letting you stay in the lab more (even sometimes more than literally everyone else)

being the extrovert you were, you were just like a beaming light and spirit

you were called his “sun” by the others

not to say that egon was grumpy, but you quite literally brightened up his life

ever since things between the both of you got more serious, he picked up smiling more

he also would find himself snickering at your jokes and even cracking a few himself

all just so he could see the way you threw your head back as you laughed (he thinks it’s the cutest thing)

he also wouldn’t just only talk about projects or anything, he would yearn to talk about you

but especially to talk to you

he loves the way you’re outgoing and extroverted

sure, he’s not extroverted himself even after being with you

but it does mean that he’s a hell of a lot admirable of the qualities you have

not only that but you had a certain flow to yourself

from what he’s closely observed ^

you definitely brought him out from his shell in various ways

he truly does think of you endearingly

you’re kind, funny, passionate

he considers that beautiful

one thing that you do that gets him completely flustered is when you pull him in by his tie for a kiss (he’s done for)

undoubtedly, he invites you to watch or assist him with his work

it’s almost as if you can read his mind when he asks for a specific tool

because before he can even open his mouth to ask for it, you’ve already most-likely got it in your hand for him

you’re such a people person, god

one of the many things he’s also noticed is how you’re so carefree

but especially that you love to laugh

and with others as well

does he brag to the guys about you? noooo, neverrrr

oh yes he does (even subtly at times)

he just thinks you’re really neat :))

plus, you were just always there for him

how did you stumble into his life? by a miracle

and how did you manage to even stay interested or drawn to someone like him? he couldn’t even hypothesize

because he simply had no possible answers or guesses

it was you just stumbling into his life

yet, it made his better

it really just baffles him.

he thinks to himself that you’re his other half, his right hand, his person

an unexpected one at that, but still

he is eternally grateful for you and solely you

and you are so endlessly enough
