Ghostbusters

It's really interesting how despite being called most likely to become a used car salesman, Venkman just cannot bargain for shit appparently.

Sure he is witty, cunning and charismatic but he still can't bargain. He takes the next best oppertunity impulsively without asking if there is an easier way.

Some might say this is hs adhd thinking

Hell Egon was also the one, who indicated to put the price higher at their first bust.

Hello Ghostbusters nation, I'm back with a long winded ramble.

Listen listen listen, I love that we recognize Egon and Ray as autistic as a fandom. It's wonderful. And it speaks heavily to the great representation. (Thank you Dan Akroyd.) I would be willing to bet this is because Dan himself is autistic so, y'know, hell yeah.

What I would also like to remind everyone of: Peter is also autistic?? I see him erased from the discussion so much when we start talking about neurodivergency in Ghostbusters. Bill Murray himself is diagnosed aspergers. (Yes, I am well aware this term is since outdated, but I am not a licensed psychologist so I'm not going to change the wording and risk being even more incorrect)

I don't know about you guys but does it not feel at least a little strange that the only two we see constantly recognized as autistic are the two that can best fit the wider understanding of autistic characters? This is not me saying that Egon and Ray are bad rep by any stretch. I absolutely have no problem with them and genuinely think they are good rep. My point is that the elimination of Peter form these discussions often reads, to me at least, as another form of forcing characters into boxes and having strict expectations for what an autistic character can and can't look like.

I know I've probably posted something like this before but no, I won't shut up about it.

Do you have a source for Bill Murray being diagnosed aspergers ?

[rig0rm0rbid]

i am honestly so glad you asked this because i couldve sworn i saw stuff talking about it years back but trying to find those sources now, all i can find is a tumblr post with no sources

i think maybe information has been mixed up over time and lead to a sort of internet rumor about his aspergers diagnosis

so for that i do want to apologize actively because i shouldve gone back and rechecked that fact when i posted that

[wholedayof]

I just want to add that while Muray probably has not been diagnosed, Peter still reads to me as someone who is neurodivergent AT LEAST.

His behavior in my opinion is just very heavily untreated ADHD coded and probably some type of personality disorder, I don't have the knowledge to properly look into.

His whole backstory from the pieces we know are so deeply relatable to someone with ADHD. (it's me)

In general I see Venkman being kept out of discussions with general character analysis a lot. I think it mostly stems from the fact people simply don't want to see past his public demeanor.

There is no doubt that when it first meets the eye Venkman is rude, a bit of a creep, stubborn and in general you don't want to root for him but people don't seem to understand that there is a reason behind that demeanor.

We like to focus on Egons childhood but Honestly? every Ghostbuster has a relatively meh childhood.

There is a theme in the writing of these 4 men. That is the theme of loneliness and isolation and finally finding the people, that love, respect and adore you

Quite literally the Ghostbusters are just that post.

I definetly recommend watching the channeling spirits videos on each busters timeline and life because it is generally so aparent.

A specific detail that always sticks out to me is his struggle with academic alone. Maybe most people kinda chalk it off as him being lazy but I do genuinely think despite being a very intelligent person, Peter needs someone to help him with academics.

Also the way people chalk him off as a "gameshow host" and a "used car salesman"
