I've been unwell again so me being here has been delayed, but I woke up to this yesterday.
I'm floored. Thank you all so much for bearing with me even when I've not been giving this place the attention it deserves. I love you all more than words can say.

I'd like to thank me for leaving that lil' self-reminder about this, anyway what is up everybody welcome to yet more emotion-inducing headcanons about this boy with Pops.
Today we're talking about Egon's relationship with pessimism VS realism.
Now, if y'all have at least watched the original film (which I bloody hope you have, and if you haven't? I demand you watch it immediately, right now, stop what you're doing and watch it) you'll have noticed that Egon almost always carries around a calculator. Occasionally a heckin chonker, but most of the time it's a lil' dinky thing that fits easily into his pocket.
Why, I hear you ask? Egon loves, and I mean LOVES to do what I call "pessimist calculations". Essentially, he always formulates, or tries to formulate, the worst possible scenario for any situation he's in. Take the scene as they leave the bank, for example, after Ray remortgages his home so that the team have money to play with, and Ray is already feeling a lil' sceptical, but you can see Egon typing away on his dinky calculator in the background, eventually informing Ray that he's looking at $95,000 in payable interest alone over the next five years. I deal a lot in credit for my job. Naturally, we all know that the more your monthly payments are, the less interest you'll be charged. With this in mind, I'm going to assume with confidence that Egon was working out the amount based on if only the minimum payment for the loan was made each month - in other words, the pessimist's calculation.
The scene near the beginning, when they're all in the public library after meeting their first ghost and Peter asks them both "what are we gonna' do?", and the first thing Egon does is reach for his calculator, which Peter slaps out of his hand. That's because Peter KNEW that Egon would only work out the worst possible outcome.
Also, crossing the streams? Remember that? The long speech Egon made to Peter about what would end up happening if one of them got hit by a proton beam? He then tried to sound optimistic by saying "there's definitely a very slim chance we'll survive", but it was weak. SO WEAK. Again, his focus is on the worst possible outcome.
I could reference more - there's a point I wanted to make that connects this to Afterlife, but I'm aware I've already rambled on too much so I'll save that for another post - but with all this in mind, you'd expect me to say "JFC, Egon really gives off a pessimist vibe", but I don't think he's a pessimist at all. I definitely think he treads the realist line a lot more. All of these calculations, trying to work out the worst circumstances he and the others could ever find themselves in - that's so he can prepare for them. He's autistic, remember. He very much loves to plan and micromanage his life as much as he can, and this to me is just another aspect of that. When it comes to the safety of his friends ESPECIALLY, my guy is not going to do anything before he understands the full extent of what he's dealing with, and the worst possible outcome, just so he can prepare himself and the others as much as he can - because, as the saying goes, failing to prepare is preparing to fail, and we all know how he feels about failure.

I need to write more about this both in threads and in general...but Egon's main form of stimming is the gentle tapping of his fingers, either against whatever he's holding in his hands or against his desk/lab counter/whatever hard surface he's working on.

OK but, ur detective muse/s approaching Dr. Egon Ghost Bustin Fungus Lovin But Still Holds His Coroner's License Spengler and asking for his evaluation on/ help w a pos.t mort.em in order to determine if spooky shit was involved in a person's death - or just for a murder in general. Drag him into ur crime drama fandoms/antics.
#𝙸 𝙲𝙾𝙻𝙻𝙴𝙲𝚃 𝚂𝙿𝙾𝚁𝙴𝚂 𝙼𝙾𝚄𝙻𝙳𝚂 𝙰𝙽𝙳 𝙵𝚄𝙽𝙶𝚄𝚂. (HEADCANONS)#the coroner thing is canon and thus it will work#ofc only Egon could be a Buster and still have an interest in that sort of thing#and this still rots the brain

Happy Munday one and all.
After realising I need to be more active, I've joined my office's gym, and now attend once a week.
Here's the first (and most likely only) gym selfie I've ever taken, from last week.
Hope you're all well. I should be here this week at some point. xoxo

𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝙲𝙾𝙻𝙻𝙴𝙲𝚃𝙾𝚁𝚂.
CLASS VI TRANSDIMENSIONAL
BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THEIR SUMMONING
The price for summoning the cadre of demons that have come to be known as the "Collectors" is high. They offer the permanent abduction of whatever target the person who summoned them specifies, but this service comes at the irrevocable cost of their sanity.
The demons are single-minded, and, once engaged, they will pursue their quarry with no thought to secrecy and without being distracted by any other beings they encounter. This has led to more firsthand accounts of their activities than might be expected, given that the Collectors are such dangerous entities.
The demons tend to take on the appearance of their prey, becoming a supernatural duplicate that brings to mind the German concept of the doppelganger. (These are complementary concepts, and any potential relationship between the two bears further study.)
The Ghostbusters were captured by the Collectors and deposited in some kind of interdimensional limbo. Fortunately, we were able to escape by rewiring a proton pack to explode. Although we'd been trapped for just a few hours, we discovered that months had passed in New York, an interesting note for future interdimensional research.
Further investigation revealed that the Collectors had been sent after us by Janosz Poha (see entry on Vigo the Carpathian on page 64), who had been possessed by the demon Idulnas. When Idulnas tried to avoid paying the price for summoning the Collectors, hoping they would take Poha's sanity and not his own, the head-hunting entities forcibly removed Idulnas from Poha's body and abducted the demon to their own plane of existence.
The Collectors, Tobin's Spirit Guide, Section III: Metaspecters, page 46, written and compiled by Dr. Ray Stantz and Dr. Egon Spengler.

Egon in his Professor days being an absolute menace for the board @ Columbia.
Attending student protests, constantly campaigning for better scholarships, grants and assistance programmes, encouraging people to be constructively critical of the university and hold it to account when something goes wrong.
No-one would've been able to control him and you know they would've been looking for ANY excuse to yeet his arse out of the door.
#tags tba;;#hi yes it's me and the brainrot for this idiot is in full force#but ofc he'd never be an overly friendly professor like Ray for example#but being highly respected anyway bc he has the students' backs#and bending the rules as much as he can for the sake of their wellbeing#the powers that be would've hated him and I'm here for it
