A Star-Forged Ruby

Welcome to Nightvale (via adventures-in-poor-planning)

Hanukkah in Night Vale, probably (via tentacletheremin)

Headcanon that two or three times a year the Ghostbusters do like an open house for girls interested in science and the station house is just FLOODED with girls, wee ones all the way up to awkward high schoolers and college kids.

Each Ghostbuster gives a 20 minute lecture on their particular specialty–Erin does a boiled down Physics lessons, Abby talks about the supernatural, Patty talks about history, and Holtz gives gadget demonstrations. And for 80 minutes all the girls watch in wonder because they have FEMALE SCIENCE HEROS. Then after they do a Q&A and after that do photos and autographs and station tours. They raffle off a ride in Ecto-1 to a lucky group of three kids.

Each time they do it it gets more and more popular until they literally have sign ups and a waiting list for it. The women are just flabbergasted by how popular it is, but then they remember how going into STEM was for them (or in patty’s case, how awful STEM was to women) and they get why their open houses are important. So they keep doing them. And girls keep coming.

Who wants to talk to me about the day the Girl Scouts of Night Vale make the trip to Ghostbusters Open House Day?

I want there to be a kids’ show (like Captain Kangaroo or suchlike) that starts out with this in every episode. (via naamahdarling)
