Why? Why not.
I should be writing a 1,500 word short story right now but fuCK IT
(A side note: unless stated otherwise, everyone is gay. This is obvious why am I even saying this)
Peter Venkman: Roman
- The fuck is a gender, he loves everybody. If they have a pretty face he’s game
- This has gotten him into trouble time and time again and made him bounce around from job to job until he FINALLY settled down to be a scientist, and even THAT didn’t last more than 2 years
- ADHD riddled fucker
- Still as snarky as ever but also still dramatic
- First time getting slimed? Almost had a meltdown. HE WAS HAVING A BAD ENOUGH DAY ALREADY DAMMIT
- That lasted 2.5 seconds until Patton (Ray) said he thought it was cool
- Starved for attention but snarks at everyone regardless
- Acts like a Prinxiety fusion at times (”love me but fuck off“ is the mentality that comes to mind)
Egon Spengler: Logan
- Picture a Logince fusion that’s mostly controlled/led by Logan
- The science behind ghosts has been his hyperfixation for y e a r s
- He’s also been wanting to be a scientist for years so being a Ghostbuster is like a dream job to him
- Used to be an English college professor until Patton roped him into hunting a ghost with him. He’s still not sure how he even met him (though it’s not impossible that Patton just walked up to him and said “Hi I’m Patton do you want to hunt a ghost with me?”)
- “Might have Autism. Might not have a soul. We aren’t sure yet“ -quote from Roman
- The brains behind the whole thing. He made the siren, the alarm, the proton packs, everything
- Remy (Janine) has feelings for him and he Does Not Appreciate It
- Did indeed try to drill a hole in his skull. He wanted to make essentially an early version of Bluetooth. Got as far as putting the drill to his head and finding out the thing’s battery had died. Roman was not amused when he asked him for more
- This is going to just turn into Egon headcanons if I don’t stop
Ray Stanz: Patton
- Has Autism, is lOUD AS FUCK
- Has been kicked out of several libraries for this
- Eye contact is a no-no. He won’t freak but he will get very nervous
- He introduced Logan to Roman, was dismayed when they didn’t get along at first
- Basically a little kid with a laser-shooting gun
- Main cause of most of the damage at ghost busts
- Roman looks up to him a LOT, even though he’s older (but he’d never say that out loud)
- Is allergic to everything with fur
- Feels pretty bad whenever they have to bust a ghost with a tragic past
- Had been begging Logan to let them have some kind of mascot. Logan finally relented and built a kind of cage in the front office for Slimer
- (Remy doesn’t appreciate having that thing watching him every day with it’s beady little eyes)
- Loves getting covered with whatever crap ghosts may spew at them-slim, ectoplasm, anything. It doesn’t feel sticky to him, more soft like water-hence why he thought it was “so cool” when Roman got slimed. Besides the physical contact thing
- Fiercely protective of Virgil (Winston). Heaven help whatever soul that’s dumb enough to taunt that man in his presence because Patton will grab them-with his hands or his proton gun’s stream-and throw them against the most solid thing he can aim for (which has included teammates. Logan was not impressed)
Winston Zeddemore: Virgil
- Wanted to be a necromancer when he was a kid, now just wants a job
- Trigger-happy when nervous/frightened, causes the second-most amount of damage during busts
- Stupidly tried hiding his anxiety from the others at first, writing off any moments of panic as “just paranoia”, “just got startled”, etc. It takes a particularly nasty ghost putting him out of commission via panic attack that he finally opens up to them
- Initially wrote off his anxiety out of worry they’d either A. not hire him/fire him or B. treat him like he was made of glass. B almost happened until Logan took his side when Patton was barring him from coming on a bust
- Patton and Logan argued viciously over who was in charge of teaching him how to work the proton packs and guns. Virgil was confused as to why they both can’t do it until Roman told him they’re pretty much arguing over who adopts him
- (Patton won that battle on the grounds that Logan gets to teach their next employee. Sadly for Logan no one else has taken up the job)
- He fucking HATES getting covered in ghost gunk
- Some captured ghosts have learned to fear him, he’s pretty scary when he learns their patterns
- (I was going to make him a ghost that gets attached to Patton, but...Nah. Four Sides, four Ghostbusters)
Janine Melnitz: Remy
- Only took the job because of Logan, likes to call him “Resident Eye Candy”
- Logan can not stand him. At all. Remy’s really up front with how he feels about Logan and he finds it over-bearing
- He’d wear a skirt if the boys don’t stop him. Hell he’d wear a crop top if they don’t stop him. (They always do. Buggar.)
- If he doesn’t have a coffee at any time in the morning he’s a real bastard to whoever gets within 2 feet of him
- Roman thinks this is hilarious and will sometimes withhold his coffee order to hear him cuss out people on the phone. He finds it less hilarious when someone tries to sue them for verbal abuse
- Patton thought he was blind at first because he always wears sunglasses (”LOGAN WE CAN’T HIRE A BLIND MAN TO TAKE CALLS”)
Dana Barett: Deceit
- Trans ftm
- “Deceit” is more of a nickname for him, but he’s so used to it that he’s considering making it his legal name
- Told off Logan when they first met because he misgendered him four times (the first time was an accident, the second time was a slip up, the last two started seeming intentional)
- Legal name is still Dana, he hasn’t have the money or the time to change it yet-which is infuriating
- Has heterochromia (left eye brown, right eye green) and vitiligo
- Roman thinks he’s drop dead beautiful, Deceit thinks he’s just annoying. Despite this he happily goes on a few flings with him and enjoys the pampering
- They don’t officially “get together”, but Roman stops skipping work to take “clients” out on dates, so the other ‘busters are happy
- Roman absolutely will tell anyone who listens to him long enough how gorgeous Dee is. Virgil has told Dee about this. Snake man is equal parts flattered and frustrated
- Speaking of snakes, he gets two after the Gozer incident: Zuul (female Ball Python) and Vinz (male Corn Snake)
- Why he named them after demon dogs is beyond him but he couldn’t think of better names for them
Louis Tully: Remus
- Take everything you remember about Louis and throw it out the window. Now go out that window, pick up the remains and stich them back together into a vaguely Louis-like character with bits of rat and garbage left in. That’s Remus. Still awkward beyond help, still a well-meaning hopelessly-in-love fool, but an absolute chaotic MESS that can’t hold down a job for longer than a month
- Roman wants to disown him so very badly but there’s no relative left alive that wants to go near that man with a ten-foot pole and SOMEONE has to take care of him
- Deceit thinks he’s charming, if a bit...Weird.
- Like Deceit, Remus gets two pets after the Gozer incident: Zelda (female Fancy Rat, name is a play on Zuul) and Vince (male Pitbull Terrier, name is a play on Vinz)
- He wanted two Pitbulls at first but then saw Zelda in an ad and suddenly decided he HAD to have a rat
- The kind of guy that’s a horrible person but really damn good at his job so his co-workers have to put up with him (until the boss fires him for doing something insane like hanging out a window to freak out the people on the streets below)
- He actually did the above incident. Twice. He was fired quickly and all window-washing companies were warned about him
- Virgil met him a total of one time and said he wanted whatever Remus was high on
- Remus, surprisingly, never takes drugs. He finds them icky-not the GOOD icky, like blood and mucus and all that fun stuff. The BAD icky, like forced mood-changes and forgotten events
- You can bet your ass he sleeps around like nobody’s business
- (I was going to make him Walter Peck but figured it’d be funnier if he was Louis. Be glad he made it in at all)
One of the fun things about doing a carmilla rewatch as an adult is I can now squint at the screen and say things like "that's not what bear spray looks like!" and "polysyllabic chemicals aren't the main problem in Laura's frosh diet, Perry"
I don’t think he’s pissed at Tessa. He seems afraid to show her affection now that redacted is in the picture. Tessa is the one who seems lowkey pissed at the way the situation was handled.
Of course, Scott is in love with his new girlfriend, he does not care about his reputation and the opinion of people
He has no right to be mad at T, he was the one who disrespected her and their parternership at WOF.
and she has every right to be pissed considering the backlash and how people are blaming HER for his foolish actions.
