JanAUary - Fake Dating AU

(Divider by @saradika)

Ship: Ray x Violet Word Count: 3088 Summary: Ray and Violet are going to Ray's hometown for his high school reunion, and Violet thought her worst problem would be figuring out how to pretend to be his girlfriend until she got there Rating: General Audiences Notes: For JanAUary run by @bioexorcizm and @eternally-smitten - Thanks for the prompt! Yeah this one got way away from me, it's super long whoops

(Divider by @cafekitsune)

Violet stepped out of the inn wearing jeans and a blouse. It was dinner time, and she and Ray were meeting up with his high school classmates for dinner before the high school reunion party the next night. They walked side by side to the restaurant. He seemed distracted, watching the ground with a pensive expression on his face. “Nervous?” Violet asked.

She didn’t blame him. The plan was ridiculous. When Peter suggested it, her first instinct was to flat out refuse. It took coaxing from both him and her personal assistant, Steffi, to get her to agree to pretend to be Ray’s girlfriend at his high school reunion. There was no way she would be able to keep up that kind of ruse. Her fame and success had come from writing, not acting. Not that she wouldn’t be able to convince people she liked Ray as more than a friend. That part came easy to her. But how was she supposed to act like a girlfriend when she had never been anyone’s girlfriend before?

While waiting in the line to get into the restaurant, the first person to greet them was what looked like to Violet to be some washed up high school football star. “Ray, old pal!” He slapped Ray on the shoulder just a little too hard, making him flinch and rub the spot where he hit after. “Hey, no hard feelings about last time, right, old buddy? Just a bit of dark magic between old friends!”

“Hi, Alan.” Ray sounded mostly annoyed.

“Yeah, I mean it was just like old times, right? Remember in high school when I used to steal your bike and not give it back to you for weeks at a time…”

“The last time, you never gave it back.”

“...Or that one time I moved that carjack in shop class while you were still under the car?”

“I had to get stitches.”

“Boys will be boys, right?”

“That’s what the cops told me.”

“And who is this gorgeous creature?” Alan moved past Ray, sliding in between him and Violet in line and leaning against the wall in front of her.

“This is Violet. Violet, this is Alan.”

“Alan Favish, Head Quarterback for the Morrisville High Eagles, Class of ‘76. So, he guilt tripped you into tagging along, did he?” He jerked his head towards Ray as if he wasn’t still standing right next to them and hearing all of this. “Well, It’s not a total loss. I can make sure you still have a good time…”

“Actually, I’m his girlfriend.”

Alan raised his eyebrows in disbelief. “You’re dating him? Ha! I guess I’m not the only one who’s using dark magic around here. What kind of love potion did you have to use to convince her to date you, huh, Ray? Must have been some powerful stuff!”

Violet sneered.

“Hey, I’m just joking! Meet you inside, buddy!” Alan punched Ray in the forearm, again just a little too hard, as he left them in the line.

The second person to approach them was an older gentleman in a rather loud suit and a sash that said “MAYOR” in big red letters. Violet wondered if he wore it all the time. “Roy Stantz!” He greeted Ray.

“It’s Ray… again…” Ray reminded him.

“When I heard our hometown hero was coming back for the high school reunion, I had to come say hello! And I also heard a rumor that you were bringing a famous celebrity author…” He turned his full attention to Violet, ignoring that Ray looked ready to say something. “Violet Bellamy, I presume? I recognize you from all those magazine covers! I’d just like to tell you what an honor it is to have you in our little town!”

“Um, Thank you.” Violet said as the mayor grabbed her hand and shook it all too eagerly.

“The town council would love to have you do a speech at the town hall, Miss Bellamy. Maybe take a few photos to put in the newspaper and hang on the walls of my office. How about the morning after the reunion?”

“Uh… sure.” They were taking the train at noon the day after the reunion anyway. Although Violet kind of hated the way this guy brushed over Ray for her. She wouldn’t have been as successful as she was if it wasn’t for his expertise in the paranormal. And something about the way the people in this town treated him…

They finally made it inside, and after they got partway through their dinner, a pretty girl interrupted them, smiling wide as she pulled up a chair in between the two of them and faced Ray. “Ray, it’s so good to see you again!”

“Hi, Elaine.” Ray said.

“I’m so sorry I haven't called since the last time we saw each other. I know I said I would, but I’ve just been so busy fixing up the house I inherited that you messed up while you were trying to catch the ghosts that were haunting the place, and it just kinda slipped my mind until this reunion!” She said, upbeat.

“Oh, that’s okay, it’s only been… a few months.”

“I knew you’d understand! Hey, why don’t you come over tomorrow before the reunion and help me out? I remember you being real handy back in high school. I have a few walls that still need repairing, and some electrical work, and maybe a bit of the plumbing. I know it’s a lot, but you were such a good friend back in the day, I remember how you used to always jump start my old car whenever my boyfriend couldn’t because he was at basketball practice, even when it was raining out! So, what do you say?”

“Well, I kind of already had plans…”

She laid her hand on his arm and batted her eyelashes. “Please, Ray?”

Ray sighed. “Well, maybe I can swing by really quick and take a look at the place.”

“You’re so good to me, Ray! You know, I’ve still been reading all the newspaper articles with you in them. Your success has been very interesting to me.” She winked, and left without even acknowledging Violet.

Ray shot her an apologetic look. “I’m sorry…” he whispered to her.

Violet didn’t respond. In fact, she didn’t say much of anything until they were back in the room at the inn. But, then she just had to ask. “Why do you let these people treat you this way?”

Ray sighed. “I don’t know. Coming back here has always felt… wrong, somehow. High school was honestly the most difficult time of my life. When I moved here, my parents had just died, and I wasn’t getting along with my siblings, and I felt so small and helpless and alone. It wasn’t until I left for college in the big city that I stopped being so shy, and when I’m in this town again, I feel like that sad little teenager again.”

“So, why do you come back?”

“Because, for some inexplicable reason, I feel like I have something to prove to these people. Like, no matter what I do, how successful I get, I’m always gonna be that weird kid who’s going nowhere in life to them! I know it’s pathetic, but I’ve felt that way ever since I left this town.”

“Ray…” Violet wrapped her arms around him, holding him tight. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry these people make you feel that way. And I’m sorry I got upset with you. I didn’t know…”

Late that night, as Ray slept on the cot in the corner of the room, Violet slipped out of the bed and opened her suitcase. She dug through the clothes she had packed until she found the outfits Steffi had slipped into her suitcase, despite her protesting. She looked over at Ray, who was snoring lightly. She laid the outfit neatly on the top of the pile of clothes, and then shut it again.

Violet stepped out of the inn wearing a halter top romper in deep red with matching red chunky heels with an ankle strap. Her short brown hair fell in a perfect wave down to just below her jawline and was piled to one side. Her red lips curled into a smile when she saw Ray waiting for her outside. His mouth fell open when he saw her. She put her finger under his chin and shut his open mouth gently “C’mon, babe. Let’s go see a girl about a house.” He couldn’t help but stare at the way the thin silk fabric of her shorts wrapped around her curves as she walked ahead of him, leading him by the hand to the old mansion on the outskirts of town.

As they walked down the street in the middle of town, every man who passed them turned their heads to stare at Violet as long as they could. Some literally stopped dead in their tracks when they spotted her. A couple teenagers walked up to them. “Hey, are you Violet Bellamy?”

“Yeah, I am!” Violet smiled.

“No way! I can’t believe it’s really you! I loved your last book. Scariest thing I’ve ever read, it gave me nightmares for days!”

“Thanks!”

“Hey, could I, like, get your autograph?”

At the mansion, Violet wrapped herself around Ray as Elaine approached, taking his arm in hers while the other one rested on his chest. The other girl faltered in her gait as she took in the sight of Violet, before bringing herself the rest of the way down the dirt path. “Hi, Ray! Glad you could make it!”

“Uh…” Ray’s voice shook. He forgot what exactly he was supposed to say in response, nor could he remember to take his eyes off of Violet as she rubbed the center of his chest in a slow, steady rhythm. “Yeah, sure, Elaine.” He finally squeaked out. Violet smiled at him, pleased with his response.

She turned that smug smile to the shocked girl in front of them. “I don’t believe we’ve met. I’m Violet Bellamy, Ray’s girlfriend.” The hand on his arm slid up to his shoulder as the hand on his chest reached out palm upwards.

“Uh… Hi.” Elaine shook hands briefly, still in disbelief.

“Ray just came over to see the house, like he said he would last night at dinner. Right, baby?” Violet laid her red fingertips on Ray’s cheek. He swallowed hard. “Uh-huh.” He nodded.

She chuckled. “He is so sweet. It’s one of the things I love about him. Just like an angel, sent down from Heaven just for me…” Violet let her face get closer and closer to Ray’s as she spoke. She took one last look at Elaine’s dumbfounded face before closing the gap between her red lips and Ray’s, initiating their first kiss and her first ever kiss. She hoped it was really as simple as Steffi told her it was, wrapping her lips around Ray’s bottom lip, sucking a little, and moving them slowly against his. She hoped it looked enough like they had done this before, and more importantly, she hoped Ray was enjoying it. When she pulled away, the bright red blush in his cheeks and the blissful expression on his face told her he had, to her ecstatic delight.

Satisfied, she turned to Elaine again. “Well, we said we’d look at the house.” She looked the house up and down. “You were right. It does need work. See you at the reunion!” She led Ray by the arm away from the house and away from its now fuming mad owner.

“Violet…?” Ray started.

“What? I’m supposed to be your girlfriend, aren’t I?” She looked up at him. As gratifying as that was, she hoped he didn’t think she had gone too far. He closed his mouth again and only looked at her with sad, pleading eyes. “Are you alright, Ray?”

“I… it’s nothing.”

They spent the rest of the day walking around Ray’s old neighborhood, going by his old house and all his favorite spots where he spent his free time. That night, they went to the high school gym for the reunion party. Violet was sitting at a table covered with a blue tablecloth and gold confetti, sipping on whiskey ginger Ray just brought her before excusing himself to use the restroom. Alan sat down next to Violet and placed his beer on the table. “Hey gorgeous. Do you wanna dance?”

Violet put her head in her hand. “I’d rather die.”

“C’mon, baby, what else are you gonna do? Sit around with Ray all night? I know I could show you a way better time.”

Violet blinked. Without a word, she picked up his beer with her free hand and poured it onto his crotch. She put the cup back on the table, and smiled slightly.

Alan jumped up from the table. “You little tramp! Who do you think you are?”

“Well, I’m not an ex-high school quarterback desperately trying to relive the glory days that are far behind me, that’s for sure.”

“You think that’s funny?”

“I think it’s true. I think you’re pathetic. You’ve been handed everything you’ve ever gotten because of some stupid game, and now that you don’t have that to lean on anymore you’ve realized that you’re nothing but a waste of space, and your life is going nowhere. I think you’re half the man Ray is, and you always have been, and you always will be.”

He grabbed her by the elbow and lifted her up from the table. “No one talks to me that way, you little-”

Ray came up from behind and ripped Alan’s hand away from Violet’s arm, spinning him to face him before punching him square in the face, knocking him unconscious. He fell to the floor with a loud thud that echoed through the gym, causing everyone to look. “Well, maybe someone should, Al. It’d be the first time anyone’s been honest with you.” He crossed over to Violet, taking her in his arms. “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine, Ray.” She put her hands on his chest. “You were incredible.” She looked over at Alan lying face down on the floor. Ray looked up and saw that the entire gym full of people were now staring at the two of them. Violet kept her eyes on him as she continued. “Ray, you’re so wonderful. You’re sweet, you’re brilliant, you’re so brave, you always do what’s right, even when it’s difficult, even when it’s a detriment to you. I’m so lucky just to know you, to have someone like you in my life. I love you.” Violet wrapped her arms around him and buried her face into the crook of his neck.

His face heated up, but his movements were stiff as he wrapped his arms around her waist. “Violet…?”

“Yes, Ray?”

“...Can we leave?”

“Yeah. Let’s leave.”

Ray had a strange, almost angry look on his face as he walked, faster than he normally did, with Violet to their room. For the first time since she had known him, she was almost afraid to ask him what was wrong. “Ray…?”

He didn’t respond. He sat on the bed, facing away from her.

“Did I do something wrong today?”

He stood up. “You’ve been driving me crazy, all day…”

“I’m sorry. I might have laid it on a little too thick, I guess….”

“The way you look, and all the touching, and the compliments, and that kiss…”

“Ray, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable…”

“I want it to be real!” he whirled around to face Violet, tears in his eyes.

“You do?”

“I want it so bad! I’ve wanted you ever since the day we met, but today was just… I couldn’t stand it! I feel like I’ve been losing my mind all day! I need it to be real! I need to know, did you mean any of it?”

“Ray…” Violet ran to him, wrapping him up tight in a hug. “Yes, sweetheart, I meant it. I meant all of it. You’re the most wonderful, amazing, incredible man in the whole world, and I’ve been madly in love with you from day one. You’re so far beyond anyone in this town, I couldn’t stand the way they treated you. I wanted them to see what I see in you. You deserve someone who adores you, worships you, who would never take you for granted or treat you like you’re beneath them. Ray, I want you to see that in yourself!” Violet kissed him on his lips. “I want you to realize how incredible you are, how much you mean to me!” She kept kissing him, on his cheeks, his nose, his jawline. “And I… I don’t want you to sleep on that cot tonight!”

“Oh, Violet…” Ray wrapped his arms around her and gently guided her onto the bed, kissing her.

Violet stepped out of the inn wearing a tight black knee-length dress with a square neckline, elbow-length sleeves, and a high slit up her left leg. Her brown hair was smoothed back, the tips just barely covering the top of her neck. She had left Ray lying in bed, still fast asleep. What she has to do this morning wouldn’t take long. She had a speech prepared that this town would never forget.

When she walked into the crowded town hall, all conversation halted immediately. She stood behind the podium and surveyed the crowd, unsmiling. “Every single one of you is scum compared to Ray Stantz. Even if he wasn’t a Ghostbuster. Even if he wasn’t famous. Even if he wasn’t anything even close to successful. He will always be twice the person any one of you are. And you’re all going to get what’s coming to you.”

Nobody could say anything. Even the ones that wanted to couldn’t seem to make their mouths move, no matter how hard they tried. “All of you will stay trapped in this town, like rats in a cage, and rot. He and I will have good fortune and happiness, and you will only have despair. I place a curse upon your town now.” She raised her hands, covered to the wrist in gloves of black silk, and whispered. “Acadiona Ludio Impbeo Angarum Noreabus.”

She left the stage and walked through the silent crowd. She didn’t stop until she reached the room where Ray was just waking up. “I’m sorry I slept through your speech, honey. How did it go?”

“I think it went very well. Let’s go home now, darling.”

RAY STANTZ’S ROMANTIC INTERESTS

@thealmightyemprex @goodanswerfoxmonster @angelixgutz @themousefromfantasyland @amalthea9 @budcortfancam @bixiebeet @spengnitzed @professorlehnsherr-almashy

Unlike his friend Peter Venkman, the more sincere and sensitive Ray Stantz is not constantly pursuing different women for romance or sexual pleasure. Besides the fact that he is mostly shown focusing on his research of technology to hunt and study the supernatural, while having some fantasies, his aproach to relationships is wanting to know the other person pretty well to see if there will be afinity and a deep emotional connection that makes them compactible for a relationship.

So, outside of the movies, there were two ladies who becamed memorable candidates for a romantic relationship with the hearth of the Ghostbusters.

ELAINE PHERMON

Appearing in the Real Ghostbusters series episode Look Homeward, Ray, Elaine Phermon was Ray’s childhood friend and crush in his hometown of Morrisville. When the Ghostbusters became famous, Elaine kept track of their exploits mainly because of Ray's involvement. She had just inherited a place known as the Pallo Mansion but was unable to sell it, on account that it was haunted. Despite watching Ray fail twice, Elaine never gave up on her childhood friend and attempted to cheer him up. With her help, Ray was able to find out that the bully Alan Favish was trying to use magic to make Ray look bad. She kissed Ray on the cheek when the town reinstated him as the star of the parade. Her introduction had great potential to develop an interesting dynamic of two childhood friends who slowly become romantically involved in adulthood, but unfortunally Elaine Phermon didn’t appear in other episodes to make this development possible.

JENNY MORAN

A character that was created for the IDW licensed comics, with a design inspired by actress and model Donna Dixon (Dan Aykroyd’s real life former spouse), Jenny Moran was one of the three ladies that the selfish anti hero Ron Alexander hired to staff his Ghost Smashers, an enterprise that tried to rival the Ghostbusters on their business by stoling their technology (wich backfired horribly). Despite that enterprise going south in a hurry, Jenny managed to strike up a relationship with Ray Stantz that quickly developed into a romance. She subsequently appeared as a backup Ghostbuster, and landed a job as the PCOC (Paranormal Contracts Oversight Commission) liaison to the Ghostbusters...

Then she died and becamed a class 4 ghost, able to pass for human and ingest food, and Ray kept trying to make a relationship with her work, until she sacrificed herself by entering the Ghosts Containment Unit to prevent it from melting down.

I am more inclined for the light hearted romantic subplots, so my favorite of these two ladies is probably Elaine Phermon. What about you?

Episode Review- The Real Ghostbusters: Look Homeward, Ray

So, we had a Slimer centric and a Winston centric episode. Looks like it’s Ray’s turn, now.

We begin with the Ecto-1 pulling up to Grand Central Terminal, with Peter, Winston and Egon exiting the vehicle, their arms laden with various items. It turns out that they’re there to see off Ray, who is taking some time off to visit his hometown of Morrisville. Apparently, Morrisville has its own legendary monster called the Winged Puma, which I gather is their version of the Jersey Devil or something. According to legend, the Winged Puma once terrorized the town of Morrisville in times long past, until it was somehow banished to the depths of the Earth. And now, a Winged Puma Parade is held in Morrisville every ten years in commemoration of the local legend. Ray’s visit, it turns out, coincides with the date of one of these parades. Because he has been chosen to be the parade’s grand marshal. This honor seems to have taken Ray by surprise, as everyone back home apparently never believed that he would ever amount to anything. But I guess Ray’s fame as a Ghostbuster has made him something of a town hero, so take that, naysayers.

So Peter, Egon and Winston arrive at the station just in time to catch Ray before he boards the train. They proceed to give him a sizable sack of articles, scrapbooks and even a film reel that focuses on what Ray does as a Ghostbuster, so Ray can show them off to the town. Ray accepts the offerings from his friends, but then a slight disturbance erupts when Slimer, ignoring Peter’s instructions to wait in the car, flies up to give Ray a Stay Puft doll (and frightening a few civilians in the process). This is obviously supposed to mirror how a small child might give their teddy bear to a parent who is going away for a few days. It’s made abundantly clear that Slimer is particularly sad to see Ray go, and nothing seems to cheer him up, even when Ray tries to reassure Slimer that he’ll only be 30 miles away and will be back in a few days. (By the by, Morrisville, NY is actually 240 miles away from New York City according to Mapquest. So either Ray is a big fat liar or someone on the show staff didn’t check their facts.)

Shortly after arriving in Morrisville, Ray is given this great big welcoming ceremony by the Morrisville Mayor. (Though he ends up calling Ray ‘Roy,’ which was probably meant to indicate how Ray was previously seen as a nobody in this town.) As the welcoming ceremony winds down, Ray is approached by two particular individuals. The first is a woman called Elaine Phermon, who was Ray’s childhood crush. (And that crush is apparently still there, as indicated by the hearts that appear in Ray’s eyes.) The other is a man called Alan Favish, who I guess used to bully Ray while claiming to be his friend. Both Elaine and Alan take a little time to catch up with Ray. Elaine tells Ray that she’d kept track of the Ghostbusters exploits mostly because of his involvement with them. Alan, on the other hand, comments on how everyone once believed he would be going places while Ray would be the town nobody. But now, it turns out Ray is a huge celebrity while Alan simply became a shoe salesman. Although, this whole conversation does have a point, as it comes out that Elaine has recently inherited the old Pallo Mansion. The only problem is that the Pallo Mansion is haunted and therefore she can’t place any tenants there, nor can she sell the place. Seeing his opportunity to provide the people of his hometown with a little demonstration, Ray opens up the briefcase he’d brought with them, which ends up containing his Ghostbusting equipment. Upon arriving at the mansion, Ray pulls out his PKE Meter and determines that the ghosts haunting the place are simply Class 2 Mini Wraiths, meaning they’re particularly weak ghosts.

However, as Ray begins to get to work in dealing with the Class 2 ghosts, we see a mysterious figure enter into a room elsewhere. The mysterious figure climbs up a ladder to retrieve a spell book that was hidden on a shelf. Upon opening the spell book, the figure recites a particular spell that seems to give the two ghosts a power boost. While the episode is clearly making an attempt to keep the identity of the spell caster a mystery, it’s OBVIOUS who it is at this point. Anyway, because of the spell that was cast, not only do the Pallo Mansion Ghosts grow in size and strength, Ray’s Proton Streams are ineffective against them. As a result, they are able to effortlessly toss Ray aside and proceed to trash all the tents and stands that were erected for the Winged Puma Parade. Once they’re done wreaking havoc, the Pallo Mansion Ghosts return to the mansion, leaving Ray to face the wrath of the Mayor, who is fuming over the property damage. Especially since there’s not enough money left in the town treasury to cover the repairs. Out of nowhere, Alan pops up, offering to personally cover the cost of the repairs. The Mayor accepts the offer, announcing that Alan will be the parade’s grand marshal instead of Ray.

Disheartened, Ray returns to the Firehouse. After arriving, the guys all help him perform operation checks on Ray’s equipment and find that everything is operating normally. So there’s no explanation for why Ray failed to capture the Pallo Mansion Ghosts. Unfortunately, this leaves Ray feeling as if the problem is him, despite Winston’s attempts at reassuring him that everyone has off days. Peter then states that it would be pretty foolish of Ray to go back to Morrisville in an attempt at proving something to the townsfolk (while whispering to Winston that he’ll bet him $5 that Ray will end up doing just that). Sure enough, the next scene shows Ray sneaking through the woods leading up to the Pallo Mansion.

As he’s making his way through the woods, he is startled by the sudden appearance of Elaine, who had heard someone moving about outside and came out with a flashlight to investigate. Upon seeing Ray, she immediately decides to accompany him back to the Pallo Mansion. Meanwhile, back at the Firehouse, Egon has discovered a note Ray had left behind to explain what he’s doing. Which prompts him to wake up Peter and Winston (with the former announcing that Winston now owes him $5). Egon, Peter and Winston all head out to Morrisville in the Ecto-1 to join Ray and give him assistance. They arrive just when Ray is pretty much getting the stuffing knocked out of him, as his efforts in catching the Pallo Mansion Ghosts only end up with his head getting shoved through an old painting. However, when the other Ghostbusters arrive on the scene, the not-so mysterious spell caster returns, secretly reversing the spell he cast earlier. This results in the Pallo Ghosts reverting back to their naturally weak state, making it all too easy for them to be caught.

Of course, this just leaves Ray feeling like an even bigger failure, since his teammates were effortlessly able to catch ghosts that gave him such trouble. As a result, he decides to quit the team, practically running off in tears. The others all run after him and try to get him to reconsider. But Ray is too disheartened to rethink his decision. That’s when Alan suddenly appears on the scene, apparently out on a morning jog. He announces that he couldn’t help overhearing Ray’s decision to quit the Ghostbusters (with nobody questioning how he was apparently able to overhear, since he couldn’t possibly have been within earshot when Ray made his announcement), and immediately offers Ray a job at his shoe store.

Ray ends up taking the job at Alan’s shoe store. Which, for some reason, requires him to dress up in a pink bunny suit. (Think A Christmas Story.) However, Winston, Peter and Egon haven’t given up trying to get Ray to come back to the team. Though their efforts are pretty much fruitless, as Ray simply hands Winston his Proton Pack. While apparently becoming a telepath, as his mouth doesn’t move when he announces that they can use the relinquished Proton Pack for parts. (Someone on the animation team clearly fell asleep.) Winston, however, refuses to accept Ray’s Proton Pack, insisting on leaving it hanging up nearby.

With that, Egon announces that they’re wasting their time, and all but drags Peter and Winston off. Though Egon isn’t really giving up in trying to figure out how to get Ray to come back to the team. He simply knows that Ray is too despondent to listen to them. So they need to come up with another tactic. (Although, when Peter firmly tells him that electric shock isn’t an option, Egon immediately announces that they’ll go with Plan B instead. Which makes me wonder what exactly Plan A was. Not to mention chuckle a bit over how well Peter knows Egon.)

Plan B apparently involves disguising Slimer by wrapping him up in an old mattress, desk lamps and whatnot and making it look like some new sort of ghost is chasing them in the Ecto-1, with them staging the performance outside the shoe store so Ray could see what’s going on. And it nearly works, as Ray doesn’t hesitate to grab his Proton Pack when he sees that his friends appear to be in trouble. Unfortunately, the ruse is revealed when an ice cream truck just happens to pass by. And Slimer, unable to resist, gives himself away. (Although, I was admittedly surprised that he actually ends up eating the fiberglass ice cream cone that resided on top of the truck. I can’t imagine that tasted good.) Once Ray realizes that it was all a trick, he returns to the shoe store, feeling as miserable as ever.

Sometime later, Ray is in the middle of trying to sell shoes to a rather hard-to-please customer. He is surprised when Elaine pays him a visit. She tells him that she doesn’t think any less of him for his earlier failures, stating that the fact that he tried is what makes him a real hero in her eyes. While Elaine is there, they stumble across the spell book hidden among the shelves of the shoe store by chance. As such, it’s revealed that the mysterious spell caster from earlier was Alan. (Big fat duh!) Right away, Ray finds the spell Alan used to power up the Pallo Mansion Ghosts. It turns out the spell that was used surrounds the ghosts with negative energy, which explains why Ray’s Proton Pack was unable to have any effect on them earlier. Because the Proton Packs work on positive energy.

Unfortunately, there’s an even bigger problem now. When Alan lifted the Negative Energy spell from the Pallo Mansion Ghosts, the spell didn’t just go away. It instead made its way underground, where it awoke the Winged Puma from its slumber. And the Winged Puma emerges from the street in the middle of the parade. To make it worse, when Alan tries to stop the Winged Puma with his spell book, he ultimately failed, with the spell book getting destroyed when the Winged Puma started to shoot out fireballs from its mouth.

Ray quickly manages to join up with Egon, Peter and Winston, who are trying to stop the Winged Puma with their Proton Packs to no avail. Ray quickly tells them that the reason their Proton Streams are ineffective is because the Winged Puma is surrounded by negative energy. Fortunately, Ray has an idea. After borrowing a screwdriver from Mr. Johnson’s shop, he literally reverses the polarity of the neutron flow on the Proton Packs (Long-time Doctor Who fans will probably get a kick out of this). Ray’s plan seems to work, as it results in the Winged Puma getting driven off. But the Ghostbusters know that they shouldn’t let the monster get away, as it would probably come back later or move on to terrorize another town. So they rig up a makeshift hot air balloon, using the parade balloon of Ray and the giant shoe from Alan’s parade float, to go after the Winged Puma. In the end, they are able to capture the monster in a Ghost Trap.

Once the day is saved, Elaine is able spell it out to the few viewers who couldn’t figure things out on their own- that Alan has tried to set things up the way he did to make Ray look bad, because he was jealous of Ray’s success. But because his plan backfired on him, Alan is now an even bigger disgrace than he was before, as he’s left to try and repair his shoe store (which was demolished during the Winged Puma’s rampage) on his own, as the insurance company probably wouldn’t buy his explanation on what caused the damage. The Mayor also approaches Ray to apologize for everything, also offering to make Ray the parade grand marshal again. Because the parade is going to go on. Except Ray freaks out a bit when he sees a float bearing the likeness of the Winged Puma and he mistakenly fires his Proton Pack at it, destroying the float in the process. Thankfully, his honest mistake is laughed off, and Ray even gets a kiss on the cheek from Elaine.

While the plot is a bit predictable, with a completely failed attempt at hiding the identity of the mysterious spell caster, it’s still a pretty good attempt at giving Ray the spotlight. Though it’s anyone’s guess how Alan got this spell book in the first place. And much like how it was with Samhain, I’m curious over who exactly was responsible for initially stopping the Winged Puma in the past. It’s a shame those answers will probably never be answered.

Anastasia from Cinderella actually isn't ugly, you only perceive her as ugly because when you first see her she's a very nasty, spoiled girl. Then in the second movie, when she falls for the cute baker dude, you get to explore her personality and see her feel things that aren't wickedness– You see her fall in love and get clumsily nervous and feel sad until she sobs. You get to know her outside of the nasty environment that she was raised in, and the wicked woman who encouraged she too become nasty. And 'Stasia is beautiful, actually. Inside, obviously, with her charming little quirks and her need to escape from an unhealthy environment. But also on the outside– You can tell that she was designed in order to be ugly, with her big nose and dimples and chubbier cheeks. Maybe it's just that that Disney style can't necessarily be ugly, but... I don't know. I genuinely think that Anastasia, with her little quirks and supposed-to-be-ugly design, is beautiful.

#sorry for ranting its just when i was watching cinderella 2 with my sisters and fathwr and stasia had her tranformation scene i said #'oh my god shes beautiful' and my father was like 'sorry but.. nah'#'she ugly'#and that interacrion has lived in my mind for Too Long and i stand by the fact that stasia is genuinely beautifuk #favish #cinderella #cinderella 2

also tumblr should let you pick a random post from a specific tag

like...

already, if ya do [acc name].tumblr.com/random it’ll take you to any random post from that acc- whether it’s original or a reblog

but i think that we could do so much more if we could do something like [acc name].tumblr.com/tagged/[tag name]/random to pick a random post from that tag

furthermore! if it’s an acc that reblogs a lot, or just in general, you should be able to do [acc name].tumblr.com/random/original to pick a random post that originated from them, specifically

how do i contact staff about my ~big ideas~ hfddfkjn-

Just had a dream that Hobo Johnson came to my school to perform a couple of his songs and in this dream when he got up on an auditorium stage and my immediate thought was "I need to take this to Tumblr because OH MY GOD HOBO JOHNSON HERE??? PLEASSSEEE"

And I'm like "I'm gonna tell people he went to my school. But Ion wanna give up my location! So I'm gonna ask if he's doing any other shows and ask whether or not all these locations are public information, that way if people did get snoopy about where I live there'd be a bit of a broader list of places to skepticize"

So at some point after the show– The last song he played was 3% but I don't really remember what else he played–, I approach Hobo Johnson asking about the shows and all that, and he kinda just snatches the person sitting next to me's laptop to be like "Yeah, info's online somewhere, lemme pull it up." For some reason, we end up sitting at a balcony, and the laptop do be gone. We get to talking– About the pile of books I keep for some reason incessantly pulling around, about his music, about me. At some point he looks at me and he says, "Well, we're both just a couple of black sheep, huh?" And I'm like. "Well, I mean. I guess?"

We talk for a little bit more after that, and then it's time for him to leave. He reaches over and messes with my hair before he says, "You're a good kid, Shayne." And disappears... In his place is a filled-to-the-brim journal sitting on the railing of the balcony, left open. I didn't really notice until after I grabbed it– Because some weird narrator voice sounding like LIS Max Caulfield's inner thoughts pointed it out for me(this is important for later)– but there were a bunch of pink pressed flowers scattered on the railing around it.

I don't flip through or anything, but on the pages it's left open on there is a bunch of scribbled writing, and then a big purple heart and a big red heart– Both were made of sequins. For some reason, I assumed that this book was like a journal, and that it outlined his music and what it meant and like the process in writing it. So yeah now I have it in my hands with a bunch of my other books, and I can't remember if they were under it or just sitting nearby but at some point there was a pile of indiscernable black-and-white photographs and for some reason I chose to grab them.

And then comes the walk home. I don't remember this part as vividly as the others, but I think the world became a shadow realm and I think I was haunted. I would randomly find more photographs– One had a censor bar over somebody's eyes, except when I picked it up said censor bar stretched out past the photo and just like extended half a foot out on its own. I was terrified. Other strange occurences were I would sometimes set my pile of books down, look away, and when I looked back they were laid flat. One time this happened and there were NEW PHOTOGRAPHS on tops of the books. I was shaking in my boots.

I don't really remember what happened between then and the next part, but suddenly I'm met with a "GAME OVER" screen and now I realize I was just. Playing a video game? So I go back to my latest save point, which takes me to when I first got Hobo Johnson's weird scrapbook thing. Except this time I kinda just sit there, not really knowing whether I wanna grab it this time.

So, I pause the game and I go to an even earlier save point, and suddenly I'm PLAYING LIFE IS STRANGE??? Except this isn't a scene from the game itself.

I'm playing as LIS Max Caulfield in third person and it's night time and she's running beside all these bleak concrete buildings. She looks back and SHE'S BEING CHASED BY LIS TRUE COLORS ALEX CHEN???? Who by the way keeps making evil faces and says evil things and being a villain I guess.

So I have LIS Max Caulfield keep running, until she gets to supposely the building she was trying to get to. She rounds the corner and she slips on these I guess slippery round rocks and she's now on the ground, but she's safe?? The door to the building opens and inside is LIS Chloe Price and then the camera pans over because this is now a cut scene! So anyway the camera pans over to LIS Max Caulfield and suddenly she's holding this huge bag of rice. Huge.

So LIS Chloe Price helps her stand up and then pulls her inside the building and I'm back to the first person pov. They talk a bit, and then I wake up.

That was prolly the most vivid dream I've had yet,,,, Also the boldest. Like,,,, Hobo Johnson, Life Is Strange, LIS True Colors horror-centric cross-over? Crazy. I am never going to forget how Hobo Johnson looked when he called us black sheep. Also always going to remember how he called me a good kid. Literally I look up to this guy so much already lol.

Anyway what was this whole thing supposed to mean

#hobo johnson #dream #caps #tw caps #caps tw #favish #the great big book of ideas #lis #life is strange #lis true colors #max caulfield #alex chen #chloe price #long post
