Independent RP blog for Walter Peck from Ghostbusters (1984). Classic movie canon and comic canon. Semi-selective. 2016 movie and character friendly. Mun and muse are of age(21+). Main Blog is wickedmusic96, so I follow back with that.
guys i love the ghostbusters as much as everyone else on this section of tumblr. but being real, i would NOT hire those bitches. you’re gonna destroy MY house and then charge ME over 2 grand over a ghost?! oh and on top of that, you’re leaving ME to clean up YOUR mess?! i would be so fucking mad 💀
this was prompted by me seeing a screenshot from the real ghostbusters (which I have never watched) where Peter has Peck by the scruff/lapels and that's beautiful to me
The man paused, his eye twitching involuntarily at the remark from the other man, and a sneer curled up on his lips.
"Oh, I'm definitely having a certain thought, Dr. Spengler. Namely, how exactly did you and that other moron Venkman manage to rack up $2,500 in damages from this last call?! Are you purposefully trying to cause insurance spikes for me to deal with?!"
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)
"....there isn't enough Jameson in the entire world for me to be able to even consider that. Get out of my office before I call security to escort you out."
"You're mayor now?" Kelsey asked with a slight smile, both trust and distrust in her mind about the situation, "Moved quite a bit up from the EPA and being my lawyer, huh?" She quieted though, as she noted his obvious aging. Kelsey, being undead, couldn't age. As much as she disliked Walter's reactions to the spirit realm as she was now a part of it, she tried to remember when he protected her from anything and everything. She had changed him. Perhaps now she could be a bit more convincing. "I know things are...different. very different. And if you want me to leave, I'll leave. I just wanted to see you again." -resurrextion
"Well, I had to reach the top eventually, didn't I?" he said, a slight grin playing on his aged face. It was short lived; he couldn't quite remember the last time he had seen his past client in the flesh, but as the apparition stood before him, he figured it wouldn't be terribly polite to ask when the last time was.
"Kelsey...just because things happen to be different doesn't mean you aren't a familiar sight. And to be frank, I had missed our past discussions. Is there a particular reason why you've decided to visit now, after all this time?"
Do you have any Ghostbusters as well as peckman(idk if there's a ship name either, it's surprisingly a rare/not common ship) hcs?
I can absolutely give you some of the Peter/Peck ones I have been accruing while scribbling and pondering them. Apologies for getting to this ask so late, I've been real busy eek!
Under a read more, for brevity's sake... there's a lot
I feel as though they're drastically different people with a similar streak of escalation and jabbing at each other who have managed to reach a very bizarre mutual understanding, and therefore, they don't naturally coalesce.
Judging on how Peter behaves towards other objects of his desire, he's VERY forward, comfortable displaying affection, or inducing embarrassment in public. And is pushy in response to what he sees as 'playing hard to get'. Peck, working off his usually stiff demeanour and position as a government man, is exactly the type of person his shtick does NOT work on. And so initially I picture a lot of push and pull, hot/cold etc., which causes conflicts. Somebody like Peter can't understand why Peck is fine in private but snappy and cold in public. Conversely, Peck doesn't understand why Peter can't exhibit discretion. I imagine the bicker a lot while trying to find a middle ground, I don't exactly perceive the relationship as easy or one of natural understanding.
Peter is veryyyy comfortable inserting himself into Peck's space and very quickly makes himself frequent in his home; works out where the spare key is, gets sweet with Peck’s family so they're keen on letting him in (the game had a cut line suggesting he lived with his mother and aunt, which I like, and might commandeer). Peck, although he doesn't appreciate the immediate intensity with invading his home, prefers it to staying at Peter's bachelor pad or the firehouse - picture him combing through amorphous piles of belongings and curling his nose here lol. He likes cleanliness and lives in neat spaces, Peter's apartment tends to look like a victim of the blitz. When Peck DOES stay, he brings his own towel, pillow and washbag, which Peter finds very funny.
Peck is not an easy person to get along with. He's naturally combative and caustic - Peter, in a similar way, is a little difficult interpersonally. Together, they are one of the most insufferable forces of nature going, especially when they don't like somebody. The other GBs very quickly realise this and find it funny to stick them on opponents. Peck doesn't like people treading on his toes with the anti GB campaign either.
A little softer, but Peter is heavy on both nicknames and petnames, and Walter can not escape them. His least favourite is Wally. Peter is about the only person who can get away with using it unscathed, just with a scolding.
Peck does not take kindly when Peter returns to him a little battered or bruised. Janine has learned to avoid picking up the phone if Peter goes to Walter's after a particular nasty scrape with the supernatural because whoever answers immediately gets an earful. Louis has not yet learned this. Peter enjoys being pampered in Walter's fancy apartment after a bad brush with a ghost though, let's him wash all the ectoplasm off in his bath.
They have similar music tastes, at least in terms of romantic tunes. Which is a nice point of relation between them, in a sea of many differences. Although Peter wants to dance to these, Peck doesn't. So Peter sort of tends to just wrangle and slightly limp Walter around the room while he sings and dances his heart out. (Peck secretly enjoys these little displays).
As it pertains to other, non-specific headcanons, I have a few! But probably need prompting in terms of character, so I can focus on something more particular... anyhow - Enjoy!
