Not me thinking about the climax of the GB level in LEG.O Dimensions when Gozer literally trips and fuckin falls down all those steps.

Sorry but I'm so tempted to make this canon.

Me: Egon is v good at masking his emotions Egon at the slightest inconvenience:

It's a-me, back again to offer another oddly specific outlook on Egon's life for u at no extra charge.

I wrote a headcanon a while back that Egon will probably end up having a photo of your muse on a corkboard by his desk if they're close enough with him - along with some framed ones for his nearest and dearest. When it comes to the other Busters, as you can imagine, they've had a lot of amateur and professional photos taken of them, given their status as celebrities. In typical Egon style, he doesn't care about publicity.

However, if one pays attention to his framed photographs, they'll find a shot of the four of them together, by Ecto-1. Ray is at the front, followed by Peter, then Winston, then the man himself - sporting a frown, naturally.

Of course, it's clearly one that's been released by the press, given how it's been taken - so why has he framed it, and kept it in his possession? Because of how genuinely happy the other three look. It's not a staged photo - they're all dirty and covered in marshmallow from Stay Puft, they've just beaten Gozer, it's been a wild ride for them; and yet, they're smiling, they're clearly feeling accomplished, and Ray in particular looks to be in his element.

Despite his outward persona, Egon cares SO MUCH about his best friends (and found family, let's be real), and all he wants is for them to be safe and happy - which is what, to him, this photo captures to a T.

WHEN THEY'RE UNAWARE.

they don't always see you. but that's a good thing. this is when you love them most. when they are so absorbed in their thoughts you can just sit there and enjoy them existing. it's the way they move through the world which made you fall in love. the grace with which they walk their path. the stubbornness. the dedication. they know their place in the universe and somehow, that makes you feel a little more confident in your existence too. they know who and what they are and there is nothing more beautiful to you than the ability to witness it all. in the simple things and the big things. the expressions they make when they think no one is looking. the way they laugh when they're not holding back. the little swears under their breath for no one but themselves. you love it all and you want to spend the rest of your life being their life's witness.

EGON’S ACADEMIC TIMELINE

November 21st, 1950: Egon Elijah Spengler is born in Cleveland, Ohio. He is the son of Malachai and Ruth Spengler.

May 28th, 1963: Egon graduates Solon High School, aged 12.

October 29th, 1966: After being accepted on a scholarship, Egon graduates from Columbia University with a Bachelors degree in Psychology, aged 15. He is the youngest student in the university’s history to do so.

October 10th, 1969: Having been granted another scholarship, Egon graduates from New York University with his first doctorate, in Physics, aged 18. Again, he is the youngest student in their history to do so.

End of 1969 - End of 1970: Egon takes a gap year. For at least part of this period, he travels to Sweden, where he researches Gjenganger and studies Draugr, picking up the language and its variant in the process. He also begins to research the phenomenon of Psychokinetic Energy. He is 20 by the time he returns to the US.

December 1st, 1972: Egon graduates from Cornell University with his second doctorate, Microbiology (A specialisation of Mycology), aged 22.

November 21st, 1975: Egon graduates from Columbia University with his third doctorate, Parapsychology, on his 25th birthday. During this time, he meets Dr. Raymond Stantz and Dr. Peter Venkman, who, like him, have been accepted on grants. He also works as a licensed coroner during these years, presumably as a way to earn extra income. His thesis for this doctorate becomes by far the most extensive and accurate study conducted on Pyschokinetic Energy, earning him the reputation of perhaps its foremost expert. He achieves this partially by constructing his own portable instrument that can measure it to an accuracy of 99.999% without the need for manually-calculated equations - the PKE Meter.

December 1975 to c.September 1984: Egon is a Professor of Paranormal Studies at Columbia University, having been immediately invited by them to form the department with Ray and Peter. They are dismissed in late 1984, and form Ghostbusters Inc. soon after.

June 26th, 1980: While he is a Professor, Egon graduates from the Massachusets Institute of Technology (MIT) with a Bachelors degree in Nuclear Engineering. It is around this time that he begins to develop equipment that is capable of capturing and containing ghosts and other paranormal entities - the Proton Pack, and the Ghost Trap.
