something something Peter Venkman has frequent dreams of Egon after he (Egon) dies something something
Who let you read my mind. I just want to talk to them.
This shitpost I drew about a project me and some friends are working on really fits how I see psychic Venkman playing out as a concept ngl.
(For those curious, the work follows a quack TV psychic from the 90s who gets cursed with the actual ability by an eldritch god and an ex-magician who’s been trying to debunk him now faced with this man’s midlife crisis).

Love the idea of pyschic Venkman. I have a stupid little alternate universe where Venkman is a ghost/supernatural entity and he just... keeps gaslighting everyone when they ask why the PKE meter goes haywire around him. "Huh, thing must be busted, y'know how fragile the PKE meter can be. One small tap and boom! It might've exploded."
Okay that’s fucking hilarious I love it.
In either the ghost or psychic case, aside from Venkman being in denial or just being an asshole (most likely both) I imagine he’d also want to keep it to himself in case Egon tries to dissect him to find out how he functions.
I don’t actually believe my theory wholeheartedly (see my post about it lmao) but it’s too funny not to post about.
Plus in either scenario he’d be able to chat to Slimer and I imagine them as the equivalent of terrible uni roommates that despise each other’s living habits. (Especially since Venkman, at least in TRGB, is canonically an ex-frat boy lmao).
If you’ve got this planned out or just had to answer on gut feeling, how do you think ghost Venkman would have died?
(Feel free to chat about this more it sounds interesting).

I haven't fully planned it out, it's just something thats been brewing in my mind for months now but If I had to put a cause to his death, he probably pissed off the wrong person and paid for it. Egon would definitely ask questions if he knew and that's why Peter definitely does it keep it to himself. But like, I think the rest of the ghostbusters start slowly catching on over time (in terms of the ghost case) I mean, how many times can the PKE be busted before it becomes suspicious?
I like to think Ray and Egon would be so caught up with science that they sort of believe Venkman for ages, but Winston who doesn’t even really believe in ghosts sees right through his shit in like five minutes. Especially after the equipment business.
Be funny if Venkman died to some sort of completely ridiculous/implausible instant karma scenario.
You’re gonna have me thinking about this now damn.

WINSTON IS DEFINETLY THE ONE TO SEE THROUGH IT FIRST. He just raises an eyebrow at Venkman and Venkman knows he knows and begs him not to say anything later. A part of me loves the idea he died in a really really stupid way. And when the others find out, they laugh at him so hard cuz it's so stupid. Venkman definitely frames it as he died in an awesome way though. I'm glad I've got someone interested LOL.
Winston wouldn’t tell Ray or Egon but he totally would tell Janine, who agrees not to tell anyone but mercilessly mocks Venkman about it nonstop in true Janine fashion.
Once it finally gets revealed to everyone, Venkman starts dramatically retelling his death like it’s a Clint Eastwood movie and the others just sort of side-eye each other and then immediately go to the library to look Venkman up and see how he really died.
Interested in how this would affect Dana as well like damn.
(Also yes, you certainly DO have me interested. Please continue if you want to, I’m listening.)

He’s the best ghostbuster because he can get these three under moderate control.

Conversation between my friends that is now a ghostbusters meme. Enjoy.
Peter Venkmann - psychic?
So, background on this. When I was a kid, I skipped a few minutes of the movie because I had to go to the loo. Came back, hadn’t got a clue what was going on, but through my master detective skills deduced that the encounter with Gozer in the first film had rendered Venkmann able to sense his friends being in danger, and I carried that misreading with me until I rewatched the film a couple years after.
But this is a reading a lot of people not believed, but definitely picked up on the vibes of. I’ve seen jokes about it. I ran it by my friend and they were like “I mean I sort of assumed he must have had something going on.”
This is an abnormally fucking funny reading to take from the films. A guy who’s such a cynical asshole he runs a program dedicated to calling psychics out for not being real, and shocking people in the process. A guy who later runs an entire GAMESHOW disproving it. Bro would have to be in DEEP denial.
He routinely misdiagnoses all of the blatant signs, although it steered him towards supernatural investigation anyway. He becomes offended at the insinuation because they’re CLEARLY all frauds. Plus, Egon would probably try to dissect him if it was acknowledged. For science.
Just generally never directly acknowledged but everyone catches the vibes. Maybe the ghosts make a few off-handed comments and he’s like “Well they’re ghosts what would they know.”
Plus it makes his Bill Murray film equivalent easier to tolerate (all the love to The Real Ghostbusters Peter, the original manwhore, the academia fuckboy).

The two original Ghostbusters movies read like a DND campaign.
Like that fucking marshmallow guy fight. Venkmann constantly trying to seduce everything in sight. The unhinged energy. The interactions with authority figures. The vibe that they have some sort of inside joke going on with whatever higher power runs this universe.
Oh my god DO IT.
I’m clearly not the first to have this thought then heh.
