what do you guys think
I’m gonna yap so heads up lmao
First fact- Since Egon was made a blonde in the toon, I switched Edward to a brunette (even though he’s blonde in the main universe). Hair color switching is fun, and it also keeps his color palate from being too overwhelming! (This helps with Elizabeth too, since they’re siblings who are meant to look very much alike. Perhaps in one “Episode concept” they would attempt to switch identities and see who has the harder job.) Second- He has a tooth gap now. Just cause. I felt like it would be cute. It adds uniqueness for his expressions too. He also blushes a lot easier, for the sake of it being a toon.
Third- Since the toon seems to exaggerate/change their personalities a little, I made it so Edward’s anxiousness (and crushing on Egon if we’re gonna step into shipping territory) are heightened up to eleven. In the movie universe he’s a little anxious, sure (in the first movie he’s slightly anxious but relatively cheery and willing to help [think kind of like Louis, but not exactly], in the second movie he’s a lot more cynical and anxious due to going to law school and having to deal with the Ghostbusters again after five years [and the amount of trouble they get into]) but the toon would take it up a notch for the sake of comedy and plot. Fourth-He probably gets along with Peter just a little bit more? Due to the toon toning down Peter’s cynicism it makes for a different bond, other than the movie universe where Edward’s constantly at his throat for something stupid (for example, calling him “Eddie” and “Ed.”) In the toon world Edward would still be annoyed with him, but their bond is probably a lot closer than the movie universe. (Especially considering how long it would take for Edward and Peter to get along in it. They do care a lot, it just hides behind a TON of insults and banter. And unfortunately I’d imagine them leaving on pretty bad terms due to Edward leaving to the middle of nowhere [Summerville] without an explantation or leaving a note.)
Fifth-His cat, Kevin, would most likely be a reoccurring background character! Like Slimer, he probably runs around the firehouse and does his own stuff, he probably gets along with Slimer and that pisses Peter off.
Sixth-He would totally take the role of being a Ghostbuster at least once, like how Janine and Louis did. It was most likely because one was out sick/hurt and it causes a lot of chaos for Edward and his anxiety, as he volunteered without thinking to impress Egon. The “episode” idea I had was that Peter somehow got hurt and that resulted in him being unable to fight the ghosts, so Edward takes his place for the day. There’s a B plot of Peter having to do Edward’s “boring secretary work” with Janine, and by the end Edward gets his own Ghostbusters nametag (and maybe a kiss but idk) and the reassurance he did good. Just a wholesome little ending.
WOWWW THATS A LOT OF YAPPING (and I haven’t even STARTED on explaining what his role would be in the Extreme Ghostbusters cartoon..)
Uhm
hope you guys liked it? I know some of you seem to like my ocs and their story so I’m so glad to share it all with you! Thanks for all the support :))
and if you wanna hear more let me know!!
Things are left vague on purpose, but I hope you guys enjoy these little bits of story… I’ll probably release more of this soon because there’s a lot…
btw if any of you are curious about the “poor stranger,” make your guesses as to who they are, if you’d like. There’s a lot of bits of writing that talks about them. :)
Although Vanessa is one of my most developed and detailed Ghostbusters OCs, I’ve hardly talked about her here. I did talk about Edward a little, but I mostly ignored Vanessa, minus her summary in this post, but I never elaborated on her after that…
Would you guys possibly like some more info on her? As well as my other OCs? I’m planning on occasionally posting about them…
Ignore my messy signature, it’s because I had to do it on touch screen :)
I made it a small detail where if you look close enough in most of my colored sketches of him, his nose is forever tinged pink bc he’s got the worst immune system known to man
someone please get this man some mucinex and hugs
Also I plan on adding some parallels to Melody, I made Edward before I saw Frozen Empire (I made him in April) but after watching Frozen Empire I thought about adding parallels in there-
First art post kinda nervous
Art style jumpscare aaaa Never really posted art before, these are some no color sketches I made yesterday of my ocs.
Alright time to infodump
TW: Mentions of suicide! Please skip this post of the topic is triggering to you :(
Also this kinda briefly mentions a slight one sided OC x Canon (or maybe they were in love but it’s complicated as shit)
Okay so…
Edward had a lot of issues that wasn’t just his anxiety. He hopelessly followed Egon around because he had fallen for him. A couple days before Egon completely left town, Edward had decided to confess after years of being quiet. And it seemed that Egon reciprocated. But when he figured out Egon was planning on leaving, he was pissed. He spilled his guts and Egon was leaving- not the most pleasant of experiences. (although Egon was also trying to leave him so he wouldn’t get hurt, he probably would’ve explained things or left some letter to apologize, I don’t feel like he’s just leave someone who confessed to him just a day prior without some reasoning)
He left with Egon to Summerville after an argument and practically demanding an explanation and calling him out on the fact that leaving is a really bad idea, but because he didn’t know what else to do he just followed along, not just going out of love but to keep him from getting hurt or killed because of how destructive ghost research can be. For a while it was fine, Edward just stuck with him and at least tried to defend him from people who called him crazy. But eventually some other argument happened, right after Egon caught Vinz and was going to catch Zuul. This time Edward didn’t follow behind. Their last words to each other weren’t good ones, said in the heat of an argument they both wish they could’ve took back. Edward left the Dirt Farm. Egon tried to catch Zuul. And we all know how that went. Consumed by the guilt and with nobody else to turn to because they all thought he went nuts, Edward spiraled. He died only three days later, suicide by gunshot. In those three days he called and made several apologies, leaving voicemails or letters to say sorry for leaving them. When Callie and the others come back to the Dirt Farm, Phoebe can’t help but notice there’s a more mournful spirit in the house, forever roaming but too scared to approach Egon out of fear that he hates him, even though it’s not true at all.
Phoebe notices the problem and instantly wants to help solve it before Edward’s ghostly depression turns into anything worse, which could put the whole house and anybody inside at risk. OUCH THAT WAS A LOT OF INFODUMPING BUT UH LORE IG

Omg thank youuuuuuuuuu
You should fr remake yours
I might make some more lore stuff and explanations- depending on what you guys wanna know
the most interesting stuff so far is the cause of Edward’s death and Vanessa’s whole bloodline, cause she’s not JUST related to Shandor… she’s got at least one other relative out there that’s not Ilyssa (who would be her grandmother btw)
Which one would you wanna possibly learn first?

Edward Thomas-Lawyer/Secretary, probably needs anxiety meds and therapy. Used to work at the Sedgewick hotel, but after seeing the ghostbusters destroy the whole place he quit and decided to help them instead. One of the only people who stuck with Egon after he “went nuts”, leading to the others thinking he’s gone crazy too. Also he’s dead during the events of afterlife but who cares
Elizabeth Thomas-Edward’s older sister by thee years. A journalist, thankfully way more chill than her brother and has a little more of a stable life- not dead during afterlife and somehow has most of her mental stability, kinda acts as an older mentor type figure to some of the other characters
Vanessa ???-Trevor’s age- Has one of the most confusing bloodlines a person can have- is she cursed? Is she not? Nobody can tell. Related to Ivo Shandor because Ilyssa Selwyn somehow had a child (but it’s unknown with who.. yet) and now she’s not entirely trusted by anyone, leading her to be an outcast. Her fate is in her own hands, she just has to step up and take control of her own destiny before she loses any potential friendships she has for good. Maybe if she does, she can figure out the truth behind her existence. Ruth- Dead 1920s starlet, possibly knew the Spider Witch when she was alive, and for whatever reason completely hates Peter.
I added some info about them, check the reblogs! I can always make a separate post about them too :))
I have like four Ghostbusters ocs and I kinda wanna share some stuff but idk
Not posting art yet but I might possibly release their names and a very brief summary
Should I?
Maybe, if I have time and confidence Lmao
If there’s a specific one you guys want me to doodle first I might do it (no promises though, I’m gonna be a little busy today)
Or I might just find my old sketches of them and use them
Alrighty so
Here’s some brief summaries, Idk if they’re cringe but idgaf it’s fun
