#buzzfeed unsolved? more like buzzfeed SOLVED

[enderspawn]

i know that interest in true crime, ESPECIALLY when it comes to unsolved shit, has a lot of faults, but there’s something incredibly endearing and human in the cases of unidentified people/bodies

like i remember watching this video essay about “the grateful doe”, a john doe body from the 90s which, due to ppl sharing what they had/knew online and having this Dedicated Community to finding his identity, finally got identified after 20 years

the part that sticks w me from that video tho was the poster that was made and spread, bc it started “can you help give him back his name?” and like. idk man that fucking sticks with me. it’s so painfully human, to want to identify this guy not just for any living family but for him. because he deserves to die known and with his own identity. they’re doing this for him, to give him back something of his own one last time, even if it doesn’t actually matter any because he’s long gone. like. that’s the inherent human goodness, actually.

edit: if anyone’s interested, I’m p sure this was the video in particular

[thatdeadaquarius]

When I’m playing genshin, I’m mostly listening to either Paternity Court, or Steve Wilkos. Imagine the characters hearing all of the stuff and being so scandalized by the results and comments. Or being genuinely disgusted and heartbroken for the victims in more serious cases. I can def see a good chunk of them being invested

I don’t think I’ve listened to those yet! I do occasionally get on a true crime binge listen, however the weirdest thing my characters have heard has gotta be Game Grumps episodes or compilations lol

What if i listened to every season of Buzzfeed Unsolved.

What would we do then my Genshin characters, my people, what then.

I saw someone else write about this true crime documentary thing but they described everyone being pretty terrified or disgusted by the podcasts

Which I definitely think some would be literally horrified lmao

But also I think a lot of them definitely would be invested-

I mean shit,

you're listening to your God and they just start playing this like uncomfortably detailed intricate crime case/murder report???

I would be so interested in what kind of person they were, and why they were listening to true crime stuff, 

so needless to say characters like Heizou and Yelan would definitely be into it, maybe Kujou Sara as well?

I can see Zhongli getting into it too and Raiden

I mean don't get me wrong plenty would be disturbed

like rest in peace Barbara 🙏

but like it would be fascinating to them too!!

cuz they don't know anything about our world so they could learn a lot about it thru listening to this stuff

tho it probably cause a lot of confusion whenever they hear things like phone or computer or car lol

you know stuff that hasn't been invented yet for them or there is no equivalent, but they

would deffo interrogate u about ur world when u get to Teyvat

♤

okay but on a more silly motherfucker note-

what if I was playing Game Grumps around them lol, would they be like oh my God our Creator has the best comedians or hilarious friends

like you know how a king has jesters? 😭

I feel like they would think that instead of a recording definitely, especially because most of these things are just people talking and not like, a speech or something

because audio recordings could exist for them, they would probably get it in concept, they do have Ley lines that do that afterall (and now Kameras)

♧

Omg,

oh no, would they think that you're getting these reports in person??  Or even like your SOLVING all these crimes?? 

esp bc I know myself and I tend to sometimes be talking to Genshin characters like,

"damn that's how he got arrested? How stupid he could've blah blah blah i sound like a hardened cop playing a gacha game lmao blah blah...."

it'd be so funny to see that one play out

when u get whisked away to teyvat and Heizou and Yelan are just:

"oh my God can you help us with all these cases we love your mind, or get your servants to help us?"

THEY WOULDNT EVEN BELIEVE U IF U TRIED TO BE LIKE "no no please ur the professionals idk wtf im doing guys-"

Heizou/Yelan: 🤨🤨

"likely story Most Honorable God, but we heard quite the fascinating theories just last week before u descended, hmmm...."

u cant win, 

honestly everyone would probably just assume ur not only the god who created/built teyvat but also have a domain in justice, comedy or honestly whatever u be playing all the time, including music, people would definitely think ur a music god too

esp if ur like me and u just turn on a cool Spotify playlist while u play sometimes, like they've probably never heard so many radically different genres songs, and so many back to back

(could definitely see a myth about u having an immortal inexhaustible musician band that has access to all the songs of the universe that u make them play for you, once again, would be hard to deny bc that's a pretty accurate description of spotify lol)

♡

[olivia-anderson-fanfic]

Have you never heard of such a thing, darling?

There is an abrupt cut to a classic YouTube channel intro. It’s the name ‘The Gotham Files, with Tim Drake’ in a metallic font, bouncing around to royalty-free, terrible dubstep music while fake strobe lights dance in the background. It is impossible to tell whether this is ironic or not. Assumedly yes, though, because then it cuts to a blank title card that seemed to have been ripped right off of a PowerPoint presentation that reads ‘Also Marinette is here’.

(The Timari Buzzfeed Unsolved Au)

Chapter 1: The Mysterious Case of Wayne Manor

A boy sits in a nondescript white room, on a white sofa, in a white shirt and black slacks. This could have all been controlled, of course, however, even the boy himself is not the most colorful – his skin is pale, his hair jet black, and even his eyes are a seemingly lifeless grey. He smiles at the camera, but there’s something unsettling about it. He shows off way too many teeth.

He waves jerkily. “Hello, everyone! I’ve gotten a lot of new subscribers since my last video hunting down the demon known as Poison Ivy –.”

There is an abrupt cut to a new bit of footage, in black and white to signify that it was from the past:

“If you’re a demon then you have to curse me,” the boy is saying from behind a camera.

A seemingly normal woman, though admittedly she is covered in enough dirt to make you wonder if she had just come back from digging up a grave, gives him a blank look. “Why would I do that?”

“You gotta.”

“I’m not going to.”

“Lame.”

The woman’s face drops into the annoyance that had clearly been threatening to appear for a while, and she starts to stand. The boy makes a squeaking noise and immediately runs in the opposite direction.

“– who was not a demon, she was just a regular lady who was really obsessed with poisoning rich people. Which is perfectly understandable and could happen to anyone.”

He nods sagely. There is no reason for this. He simply does. And does it for too long. It gets uncomfortable very quickly.

“But, this does not necessarily mean that ghosts and demons do not exist!”

He smiles. 

“Now, in this episode, I am going to solve the mystery of whether Wayne Manor is truly hauhahaha–!”

He breaks character abruptly, bursting into laughter, covering his mouth with his fist in an attempt to smother it. A flush spreads across his cheeks, finally adding much-needed color to the room. “Sorry, I can’t – I can’t do my usual intro with you there.”

A person behind the camera giggles. “Aw, am I distracting you?”

“You were looking at me like you thought I was possessed, of course it was distracting.”

“You looked possessed, I don’t know what to tell you –!”

He laughs at her and makes a spinning motion with his pointer finger. “Oh my god, Editor!Me, just roll the intro here.”

On cue, there is an abrupt cut to a classic YouTube channel intro. It’s the words ‘The Gotham Files, with Tim Drake’ in a metallic font, bouncing around to royalty-free, terrible dubstep music while fake strobe lights dance in the background. It is impossible to tell whether this is ironic or not.

Assumedly yes, though, because then it cuts to a blank title card that seemed to have been ripped right off of a PowerPoint presentation that reads ‘Also Marinette is here’.

When the white screen disappears, the viewers find Tim standing alone in front of a wrought iron fence. The plants at the fence’s feet are overgrown, weaving intricately around the poles and climbing up the sides.

Tim had also climbed up the fence, evidently, seeing as he was still breathing a little heavily. The boy looks more normal now, wearing an old hoodie and jeans and smiling in a way that shows off his dimples. His cheeks have far more color in them now, but that just might be due to overexertion.

“Hey, so, GCPD – I know you watch my videos because Poison Ivy got arrested like a week after I posted – I would like you to know that I’m not actually trespassing. In order to trespass, there have to be people living in the place you’re supposedly trespassing in. Probably. I don’t know the law. But you guys don’t, either, so!”

He flashes a finger gun with the hand not holding the camera and attempts a wink. Unfortunately, Tim is unable to wink, so he just ends up blinking aggressively at a camera lens.

But that’s beside the point! He turns the camera around to point it at what one would, politely, call an abandoned mansion.

Less politely, it would be called a safety hazard. Half of the building looked like it had caved in on itself, graffiti covered the previously pristine white walls, and plants climbed in and out of every window. The back door hangs half off its hinge, and Tim doesn’t even want to imagine what has taken residence in the place since the Wayne family’s unfortunate passing.

“Everyone ready for another day of probably getting tetanus?”

There is no answer. He is talking to a camera.

Said camera speeds through the next few minutes of Tim exploring. Stagnant water and mold, dust bunny families and spiderwebs, a raccoon that Tim runs from immediately, rusting cookware still left out on the counter for a family that would never get to eat it, a moment to linger on Tim when he stubs his toe on a loose floorboard and heaves a deep sigh, a portrait that was peeling out of its frame, a broken grandfather clock, Tim posing in front every graffitied penis he could find, ransacked closets and cabinets…

He stops in the middle of the mansion, smiling widely when the camera is spun back to look at him. “Well, no ghosts yet, but we can’t rule them out. I guess.”

He takes off his backpack and begins rifling through it until he finds his Spirit Box.

“Now, I’m sure that most of you know what this is, but just in case you don’t: a Spirit Box will cycle through local radio frequencies at a rapid speed. The theory is that ghosts can string together these snippets of words to speak or answer questions.”

He shrugs his shoulders.

“Or, at least, that’s what people say. I��ll believe it when I see it. Until then, I’m going with a healthy mix of the ‘lucky coincidences’ and ‘confirmation bias’ theories.”

He flicks the nob to turn it on, and the radio immediately begins to cycle through vague sounds, the box crackling.

Tim shuffles a little, letting the box run as he shrugs off his jacket and sets it down so he can have a clean spot to sit for a while. He props up the camera on his knee and angles it up to show his face as he lifts the Spirit Box to his lips.

“Is anyone there?”

“Ye –!”

Tim looks unperturbed. “You said there’s someone there?”

The box sputters out an indecipherable string of sounds. A fluke, then.

He gives a small hum. “I see, I see.”

There is another moment as the box continues to make sounds. They’re deeper in tone now, but no closer to human language.

“Well,” he says. “If there is anyone in the room with me, I’d like to ask you to show yourself in some way. Possess something nearby, move something, make a sound –.”

The door slams open, and Tim instantly jumps to his feet, the camera catching a terrible view of the underside of his chin for a moment when he hugs it to his chest. Don’t worry, though, dear viewer, for he soon remembers that he is a YouTuber and quickly readjusts, pointing the camera at the door.

There is no one there, but a brilliant light illuminates the door opposite the room they are in.

“Wha…?” Tim says, his voice a whisper, only barely caught by his mic.

There is a person talking just outside the room. They are speaking in tongues.

Or perhaps in French, it is often hard to tell.

Regardless, the captions at the bottom of the video say that it is French and that she is apparently saying a vast quantity of demonetizable words that Editor!Tim could not write out.

The gist, though, is that she is apparently there because of a bet and not happy about it. Hence the many demonetizable words.

After a few seconds, Editor!Tim apparently gives up on censoring individual words, and instead chooses to bleep out the entirety of what she was saying. For the sake of monetization, not because he’s a stickler for rules or anything.

You might think that demonetizable words should be allowed when you are hunting ghosts and demons and the like, and Tim might agree, but he actually likes money, so...

What was the point here?

Oh, right.

Slowly, a girl makes her way into the room, her phone out in front of her like a pitifully tiny shield, the flashlight nearly blinding Tim.

She stares at him for a long few moments. She mumbles something to herself, but even in editing Tim had been unable to decipher it. So, yellow question marks litter the screen.

“Uh… hi,” Tim says, lifting his hand in an awkward wave.

[Ew, an American.]

Tim’s eyebrows shoot up into his hair. [You realize that you’re in America, right? Most people here are going to be Americans.]

Her eyes widen. “You… you speak French?!” she asks in heavily accented English, seeming mortified. Not because she felt bad about insulting him, but instead that she had been caught doing it.

[Obviously.]

Her face reddens, and she tries, unsuccessfully, to hide it with her free hand. “Oh. Sorry.”

“Are you really?”

She seems to consider this for a few moments, before shrugging. “I guess not.”

Tim should probably be offended. He isn’t, though. At least she was honest. Eventually.

She sticks a hand out. “I’m Marinette.”

He shakes it, smiling. “Tim.”

There were a few moments as they looked at each other, unsure what to do.

“I think your radio is broken,” she says finally, pointing at the Spirit Box. It lay on the floor, abandoned, just barely vibrating from the force of its own sounds. “Or, at least, it’s not getting any reception way out here. Keeps saying ‘Hi’.”

Tim frowns. “What time is it?”

“Like…” she looks at her phone. “About seventeen…”

She catches on to his blank stare. She glances behind herself, further into the house, as if considering braving the ghosts.

She is not brave.

She closes the door behind herself, smiling. “Right. American. Five in the afternoon.”

“Oh, that’s because everyone is getting off work and they’re greeting the sudden influx of viewers.”

“I have literally no clue how that correlates.”

“It’s ghosts,” he says, rolling his eyes.

She either does not understand sarcasm or simply does not want to risk it, because her shoulders hike up to her ears and she looks around quickly. “I’m going to kill Alya,” she hisses.

“If you hate ghosts that much, I don’t think that’s in your best interest. Because killing someone would lead to more ghosts, you know,” Tim points out.

Despite the fact that he keeps his tone as gentle as he can while breaking this news to her, she looks absolutely devastated.

Slowly, Tim picks himself up off of the floor, turning off the Spirit Box as he goes. The Spirit Box gives a high whine before sputtering out, but he pays it no mind, so this must not be important. He stuffs it in his bag and heads over to Marinette, slinging an arm over her shoulders and starting to lead her away, out of the room and through the many, winding hallways.

“Know what will calm you down? I’m going to tell you all about the family that once owned this place, and their unfortunate demises.”

“Are you streaming?” she asks, eyeing his camera warily.

“... does the way that I answer this affect whether I’ll die here or not?”

She giggles and does not answer. He does not seem assured by this.

Still, he points the camera at themselves and begins to explain: “The Waynes were a lovely family of philanthropists, and the town lost quite a lot when they were tragically shot after their family outing to the theater. To this day, twenty years after that tragic night, Gotham has yet to recover.”

A few moments of silence swallow them.

Text at the bottom of the screen says that this is not an editing mistake, and instead a choice made to respect the dead. There is also a timestamp where a person can skip to the next bit of ‘content’ if they so wish, and they would go on with their day none the wiser of the fact that Editor!Tim had called them a ‘limp noodle of a person who would not know morality if it walked up, introduced itself, and then punched them in the face’.

But, again, those people would be none the wiser, so…

Tim smiles charmingly at the camera, as if he had not just insulted a large portion of them without their knowledge. “Now their house is a prime hangout spot for dumb teens, such as Marinette and me.”

“I’m not dumb,” she huffs halfheartedly.

“You believe in ghosts.”

“Well, yeah, duh, I’d be stupid not to, seeing as my house is haunted.”

“You’ve seen ghosts?” Tim says, skeptical.

“You don’t see ghosts,” she sniffs, in that tone people use when they are offended by the stupidity they are being presented with. Tim gets this a lot, but never has he ever felt it was so unwarranted. “You just know they’re there. Like when they knock over your cups for no reason.”

Briefly, the image of a cat flickers on the screen. Because that is what she is describing. A cat.

“Okay. Unrelated question, is belief in ghosts common in your culture? Because they won’t treat you if it is.”

She shoots him an annoyed scowl, but there is something amused tugging at the corners of her lips regardless. “You’re the absolute worst.”

He grins. “Glad you think so. I put lots of effort into making people hate me, you know. It’s nice to have my efforts appreciated for once.”

“I wouldn’t say appreciated…”

“No no. I’m appreciated.”

“Okay,” she says easily.

They reach the front doors, and Marinette raises an eyebrow.

“You know, if you wanted me to leave, you could have just told me. I would have left.”

“I couldn’t just leave a woman in need alone,” he says, pressing a hand to his chest.

She looks unimpressed.

“... and, besides, I was pretty much done here, so…” he shrugs. “Figured I’d escort you out.”

She looks at her phone for a moment before shaking her head. “I appreciate it, but I can’t leave for another… twenty-three minutes.”

He thinks this over for a few moments, frowning. He glances back the way they came, as if considering hanging around for longer. And then he decides against it with a tiny shake of his head.

“You know, it’s illegal to be here,” he says.

“You’re here. And filming yourself doing the illegal thing. I think that makes what you’re doing way worse.”

Tim’s eyebrows knit together. “I mean, touche and all, but I was just saying that you could tell your friend that to get out of this.”

“... oh.”

He snorts into his hand. “Oh my god, did you really not realize?”

“Shut up! I hate you!” she whined. “I’ve had a lot on my mind, you know!”

“Yeah. Like cups falling off of tables, apparently.”

She punches him in the shoulder lightly, and he only laughs more openly.

Still, ever the gentleman (even while laughing at her misfortune), he opens the door for her. Still, despite her supposed hatred of him, she rushes through all too eagerly with a murmured thank you.

He only gets a second to follow after her before the door slams shut behind them, so close to hitting Tim in the back that the force of it makes his hair blow in his face.

Marinette throws him behind herself immediately, her hands up in a fighting position as if she intends to fight the ghost for him. Not that it would help, probably, but the thought was still there.

Tim looks a little touched as he rests a hand on her shoulder comfortingly.

“Don’t worry about it, the place is old, and the loss of weight is probably just throwing everything off balance.”

“... is that supposed to make me feel better? Because all I’m hearing is that this building is super unstable.”

“Then it’s a good thing we’re outside now, isn’t it?” he says, grinning cheekily.

And, despite herself, she smiles back.

His expression drops immediately as something hits him to make up for the door’s near miss. He groans and falls to his knees in utter devastation. “I left my jacket inside…”

“It’s the ghosts’ jacket now,” she says, patting him on the back in a way that really isn’t as consoling as she seems to think it is.

Tim starts to fake cry.

There is a hard cut. Tim is back on the couch he had been on at the beginning, but his posture is more relaxed this time and his smile is actually normal.

“Well, as usual, there was no ghost to be found. Because they don’t exist.”

A pillow sails across the screen, very intent on hitting him, but he bats it away easily. Because it’s a pillow.

“But maybe the real ghosts are the friends we made along the way!”

Marinette groans off-screen. “Don’t do this to me. You’re going to make me have an existential crisis.”

He hums a little, his eyes gleaming as he leans back, letting himself sink into the plush couch. “So, as usual, there isn’t much to go over…” He smiles. “I guess I can talk about meeting Mari, though. My first thought when meeting Mari was…” He trails off, visibly mulling it over in his mind with pursed lips. “Well, my first thought was that she looked scared and it would probably help her if she had someone to do this with.”

Someone behind the camera coos, not noticing the way his lips begin to tug upwards into a smirk.

“My second thought was ‘The people like it when I have guests on. I can capitalize on this’.”

Marinette makes a sound incomprehensible to human ears and rushes into frame, a new pillow raised. Tim screams.

The scene cuts. Marinette and Tim are sitting on the couch together, now. Their hair is a little messy from the unshown pillow fight. Marinette is lazing across the sofa, her legs thrown over Tim’s lap, so it was safe to assume she had won.

“You want to know what I thought when I first met you?” Marinette wears a slightly sheepish grin. “I thought ‘Oh my god, why is the ghost so tiny? He needs soup.’”

Tim snorts. “No way.”

She nods, trying and failing to keep her expression neutral. She turns to look at the camera dead on. “And, if you guys at home don’t want to be mistaken for skinny little ghosts, then you should hop on over to the website of our sponsor, Hello Fresh!”

Tim rests his arm over the top of the couch, smiling openly. “We’re actually sponsored by Raid: Shadow Legends.”

Marinette snaps her fingers in her best overdramatic ‘awwwww man’ gesture, shaking her head. “God dang it. It was worth a shot.”

“Eh, I’ll still use it as an excuse to do my ad read now.” He turns to grin at the camera, opening his mouth –.

As one, everyone watching leaves the video.

Chapter 2

[quaranmine]

Missing 411 guy?

David Paulides, the guy who is the creator of "Missing 411" which is basically a conspiracy about suspicious clusters of people going missing in National Parks in the United States. He is also the bane of my existence for the past year as someone who is researching a story about someone who goes missing in a National Forest.

To start with, if you've ever been even on the fringes of "irl spooky stuff" videos on YouTube, you might have encountered this. There are a lot of youtubers and podcasters who cover this guy's content without understanding What and Who they are giving platform to. Sometimes, people don't even mention him but will relate the cases that he covers in his books or use the same conspiracy points as him. I would not be suprised if you watched a Buzzfeed Unsolved/Watcher video (which are fine btw) and then got recommended something related to Missing 411 in the sidebar since it's a similar genre. It's super popular to the point where its outgrown its creator. I can't stress enough that many of you have probably encountered this content, at least in passing, without knowing what it was.

So to recap, Missing 411 documents cases of real-life people who have disappeared or been found dead in national parks, national forests, etc and claims that these cases are unusual and mysterious. It frequently talks about missing person "clusters" and things like that. There is often an overt, if not outrightly stated, implication that something supernatural, crpytid, or UFO/alien related was involved. For starters, David Paulides has written a ton of books trying to prove the existence of bigfoot. Now, I have no issues with people believing in bigfoot, or cryptids, or aliens, but I do have an issue with people co-opting real life tragedies and twisting information to push this as conspiracy. I simply do not think it is helpful or respectful to talk about missing and dead people (and children!) like this. Also, with the high prices of his books ($100-200) he just reeks of grifter to me.

To me, Missing 411 "criteria" is a stretch at best. You will see cases "mysteriously" connected because both of these people wore red when they went missing. Both these people's bodies were found near water (as if many National Park do not have water features.) Both these people's bodies were found near granite rocks (like, the most common rock type in mountains lol.) All these cases involve the weather turning bad! (um, yeah, that's a big reason why people get in trouble?) He frequently claims that bodies being undressed is highly unusual, without ever acknowledging paradoxical undressing. Or he claims laughably weak connections between people like "these two women who went missing in different years are connected because they both had three letter names that started with A." I haven't personally listened to this talk but there is a data scientist mentioned in his Wikipedia page who examined the case data and found nothing out of the ordinary in them. If you don't want to watch a video (I don't either right now) then he also wrote this article. From a different person, this article from a podcast is also good.

David Paulides does not present Missing 411 cases with accuracy. He has been known to cherry-pick data and purposefully omit data to make them seem more unusual. Many cases he covers are either already solved, or have extensive information available. He does not retract information or admit when he is wrong. Even if he does present a particular case accurately, he has such a bad track record with reliable research that he cannot be trusted as a source. There used to be someone on reddit who would deconstruct cases he covered. In this post they found several instances of cases of Paulides missing sources and coming to incorrect conclusions.

Note there's a few differences in the sources I just linked. The data scientist and podcast skeptic both said they found the data to be accurate, while the redditors have found evidence to the contrary. The data scientist also says he found Paulides' presentation of information respectful, but I personally find all of this highly disrespectful. But despite these differences I think we can all agree....the claims of Missing 411 are pretty ridiculous.

Also, let's talk about David Paulides himself. Before becoming a writer, he was a cop in California. He was a cop who was fired for corruption (well that's hard to do), because he was caught soliciting donations for a fake charity he set up. That's straight from his Wikipedia page. He continues to use his past as a "dectective" to attempt to make his claims sound more reliable. There was also a redditor who pulled up some other career highlights from when he was a cop in the 80s, by looking at court transcripts and news articles. His job used to be entrap gay men by pretending to be gay, getting them to invite him home with them, and then arresting then. He and his unit were also accused of police brutality many times in the 80s, with Paulides testifying in defense of his unit. And he has not changed btw, he's a Qanon stolen election covid denier type of nut right now on his YouTube channel (according to reddit. I am not watching this man's videos.) So yeah, I think his character speaks for itself.

Anyway, I'm tired of hearing about this guy and seeing 411 related content pop up around YouTube, Reddit, Tiktok, etc. Pay attention if you watch things related to "creepy and unexplained real life disappearnaces." I do not think he is a good person, I do not think he can be trusted, and I do not think that his work actually benefits the families of the missing persons in question. These are real people. He turns them into spectacles to push ~unusual~ circumstances and paranormal activity.

Hellooooo, its me again uwu.

A bring more Nortalice/Alicenort content! This time its AU releated stuff! Hope that is alright

-Modern AU, they are like Shaun and Ryan from Buzzfeed Unsolved with a mix of Nancy Drew and Scooby Doo thrown in. Lots of hijinks and breaking into restricted and or forbidden areas. Sometimes they are actually solving cases, other times they broke into a gas station left to rot from the 1980s because Alice swears she saw something in there and it results with Norton rushing Alice to the doctors because she ate expired Cosmic Brownies. Not like Norton will complain, because him and Alice agreed on 50/50 on the money that comes from the cases and beats working his dead end job.

-Fantasy AU, Norton is the king of the demon realm, and Alice is the queen of Paradis (the one seen in LG and Orpheus's essences). Their kingdoms have tension with each other. Orpheus the Novelist urges war while Nightmare (yes they are two separate people). Alice however is like "Nah, imma talk to the king" and goes to the demon realm, so the two can work on some sort of peace treaty. Nonsense ensues and the two slowly fall in love, it ending with Norton asking for Alice's hang in marriage, which at first she thinks its so their kingdoms dont fight and his response being "...no you dumbass i love you. Thats why im asking to marry me"

Oletus Manor Doesnt Happen AU, aka what if Norton and Alice never went to the manor but still met each other. Can imagine its because Alice is doing a report on Golden Caves, what happened, why it shut down and interviews Norton, the only survivor from the accident. The two just seem to click and neither know why. Norton at the start tries to use this to his own personal gain, since in his state, he knows damn good and well, he will not be able to get a job again, forcing him in poverty so he tries to butter up Alice, get close to her in the hopes maybe he can marry into money. Alice also tries to use this connection to her advantage, hoping Norton's ties to the mining industry can give her access to more secretive information (like how they treat their workers). They do end up falling love properly though, and Alice uses the money from her family to help push Norton out of poverty and help him start a small jewelry business with the only catch being "Before you even dare spend a penny on clothes or luxurious things, I want you to spend the money I give you to go see a doctor in the chance to save yourself. I care too much about you Norton". Which in turn breaks Norton, but like a good break, like a "Holy fuck, she really does love/care about me, this wasn't an act, i wasnt dumb to let her into my life"

HELLO 🫡You're always welcome!! 🤣 AU stuff is ABSOLUTELY ALRIGHT 👏👏👏

LOOOL I saw Shane and Ryan and 80s and my brain went STRANGER THINGS LOL Like it starts as Norton: 'lol ghost hunting, those aren't real at least these people are paying' while Alice: 'ghost hunting, can you imagine the stories ghosts could tell if they could speak easily?? How thrilling!' But it turns into running for their lives LOL followed by eating expired cosmic brownies like nothing happened but they are all covered in dirt and grime and trauma LOL

OH F A N T A S Y A U S are ALWAYS BANGERS IN MY EYES AAAAHHH YEESS! Gives me strong Persephone and Hades vibes and that has me SO HYPE OH MY GOOOSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! AND This reminds me of the theory I saw who knows where by this point lol but it was about the one Alice skin 'Eternity' and FG's skin 'Infernal Sin' and it went something like him being the dragon of the apocalypse to deal out the punishments that Eternity laid out. Something like that, I wish I could remember it cause it was dope as hell LOL

IF THEY MET WITHOUT THE MANOR AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

10000000% using each other until Alice falls first and Norton falls HARDER MUAHHAHAHA Recently my brain keeps going to the quote from 'Our Flag Means Death' and they say "you wear nice things well" and just seeing Alice saying that to Norton when he finally gets to get all dressed up for something and him like 'oh woah' but the magic fading pretty quick at the realization, 'this is not comfy at all' and then waiting until at the gathering to say something out of pocket like "I feel like I have a pickaxe shoved all the way, right up my--" -Alice slams her hand over his mouth- 🤣🤣🤣

Imagine Ray finding out about the boys being ghosts by one of them falling through a wall or something💀

After the hug in the Orpheum it was made very apparent that the boys could be seen by everyone. That is because Ray walked into the studio the next day and found them all passed out on the couch- a conversation on asking permission followed in suite. But, as cool as it was that people could see them and they could interact with things, they soon discovered they were still part ghost. They could poof places, they couldn’t always eat, sometimes they just phased through doors or floors in Luke’s case(it took a lot of screaming and pulling to get him out of the floor). So, to keep things safe, they kept a distance from Ray and stayed as quiet as they could in the studio-although they were sure Ray knew they lived there at this point. Julie didn’t want to freak her dad out with all the ghost business-Flynn had taken it well enough but her dad tended to worry a lot. So they opted to just pretend they were alive-and avoided questions about schooling. It wasn’t until a few months later that it all came to a head. Luke and Alex were standing behind the couch, talking to Ray and Carlos who were watching a ghost busting documentary called Buzzfeed Unsolved.

“I don’t get it, why are people so obsessed with unsolved murders? Aren’t the solved ones cooler?” Luke asked.

“No! It’s about the mystery, duh. There’s no mystery to discover if it’s already solved,” Carlos protested.

“I think we should be more worried about why people like murder in the first place,” Alex noted.

“I am with you on that one, Alex.” Ray agreed.

“Boo! No fun,” Luke pouted.

“Yeah, boo!” Carlos smiled. Alex rolled his eyes and went to walk away, Luke saw this and stuck his foot out causing Alex to trip. He fell forwards, smacking hard against the floor and leaving his top half inside the wall.

“Aye! Alex, are you okay?” Ray asked, standing up to go check. Alex sat up and held his head.

“Yeah, yeah- I’m okay, I just…Ray are you okay? You look like you just saw a ghost.” Alex said.

“That’s because he did,” Luke sighed, “The gigs up.” Alex looked down at that and saw he was sitting up halfway in the wall and halfway out of it. He looked up at Ray who was white and he quickly got up and out of the wall.

“So- we can explain.” Alex said.

Ray promptly fell backwards and passed out cold.

If you like video essays and are a massive nerd, I love Bobby broccoli, he makes video essays on scandals in the scientific community. His mini-series on the SSC is my favorite (he recently combined those into one big video so idk if the individual ones are still available but it's very worth the watch) but the fake discovery of an element is probably the best place to start (shortest one)

Someone I also really like is lemino, long video essays around some very strange things. DB Cooper, Jack the Ripper, the "cool" S (this one I watched multiple times, for whatever reason it's so fascinating to me)

I recently found a channel called Chuppl and they actually solved the glitter conspiracy, well about as well as they could and they got actual answers unlike even the actual proper and accredited investigative journalists that tried

I also love answer in progress, they answer the random everyday questions you've probably asked at least once in your life and are a fun group of people

For more fun less serious watch, I recommend Watcher. Shane and Ryan of buzzfeed unsolved left buzzfeed and founded watcher along with another ex-buzzfeed employee Steven, which is almost like a small tv channel almost??? They do a huge variety of content, my personal favorite shows being dish granted and mystery files

There's also this guy called dagnel who does a lot of gaming stuff, but I especially love his animal crossing new horizons challenge videos. He's just very fun to listen too and he keep the game super fresh. He streams and then edits them down into some longer videos and I love it

I saw someone say callmekevin and I have to then recommend his counterpart rtgame. Super fun, loves playing the games by breaking as many rules as possible and he has a lot of fun inside jokes with his audience (I don't watch him as much these days but he's definitely one of my favorites and when I do pop in now and then I'm still so entertained by him). He mainly streams on Twitch but edits down most/all of his streams into little 15-30 minute vidoes with the odd supercut here and there

Currently someone who I love is alpaharad. He has such interesting videos and what he does a lot is he does gameplay (usually live on Twitch), and then after he's done he goes in and writes a script and creates this narrative around what he's done and he's just amazing. His pokemon nuzzlockes have to be my favorite videos of his but I watch everything he puts out

Oops this was a bit long, sorry about that 😅

I LOVE YOU 😭🫶🫶 thank u so much, all of that sounds right up my alley!!! ugh this is making me excited to watch youtube again

[stwberryshtcake]

Even More Episode Ideas

- Ginger Snap becomes addicted to gambling games when a traveling carnival (run by Licorice Whip) comes to town. After they leave, Ginger joins in on Monkshood and Snowberry’s poker games and ends up needing an intervention. Very serious, after school special type episode to add to the surrealism.

- Cranberry teaches Apple Dumpling about grey morality and uses this as an excuse to hurt Life’s Antagonists. Strawberry sings a song about being kind to enemies while Cranberry sings about revenge. It becomes clear that Cranberry is less morally grey and more chaotic evil that happens to be on Strawberry’s side.

- An episode where different characters write and read stories they’ve written to entertain each other during a blizzard, animated in different styles. They teach their own unique lessons that showcase the character’s worldview.

- A detective episode where Blueberry, Huck, Orange Blossom, and Winterberry try to figure out who’s really behind the kidnapping of their animal companions after Strawberry is falsely accused. Each kid has a different approach to it: Blueberry is more a Sherlock Holmes type, while Huck leans hard into the Noir detective stereotypes (to annoy everyone), Orange Blossom is basically Encyclopedia Brown, and Winterberry is a Jessica Fletcher type. Chaos ensues and it turns out to be the Purple Pieman and Sour Grapes.

- Maybe several detective episodes where they open their own agency, I like the idea.

-  A cooking competition judged by Honey Pie Pony, the winner gets a train trip. Simple episode about not cheating and sabotage except the perpetrators (Chamomile Tea and Peppermint Fizz) don’t get to go on the trip in the end. They are still forgiven by everyone except Pumpkin and Ginger Snap.

- Strawberry helps Annie Oatmeal with a cattle drive along with nearly all her friends. They end up having to deal with a trio of rustler’s, a couple of years older than them, named Apple Water, Ash Cake, and Dump Cake aka D.C.  Pumpkin finally gets to hit someone in the face with his frying pan, with absolutely no consequences. 

-  Second Halloween episode where Fruit Bramble kidnaps Apple Dumpling and Strawberry and Pumpkin have to save her.  Fruit Bramble is animated in a more sketchy style since he’s a ghost.

- Short segments during the month of October where Raspberry Torte and Ginger Snap make ghost hunting videos, similar to Buzzfeed Unsolved mixed with Dipper’s Guide to the Unexplained. Fruit Bramble is Displeased but they don’t notice him even though everyone else sees him in the background.

- A new boy name Banoffee Pie moves to StrawberryLand and turns out to be a detective, specifically an occult detective (Harry Dresden/John Constantine type.) He helps Blueberry Muffin and her agency solve a series of break-ins where victims believe they saw Fruit Bramble tearing up their house. It turns out to be Marmalade, who had strings tied to her as a cruel joke by Snowberry. Monkshood is decent for once and was pursuing Marmalade and trying to catch her to help her get the strings off.

- A Valentine’s episode dealing with crushes or the lack of them. Huck attempts to avoid ‘mushy stuff’ by hiding with Ginger Snap and then his guy friends after Ginger Snap reveals a crush on a famous scientist. Pumpkin gives a good speech on how some people don’t ever have crushes and it’s best to move at your own pace rather than try and do what your peers are doing. He refuses to sing a song about it point blank when Huck asks why he didn’t sing. 

If anyone wants any elaboration on these, I’d be happy to, I have MANY ideas.

Are you encountering problems again regarding the drafts?

SO FAR, NO!! i stopped editing on wifi omw to work, since it has a spotty connection :/ and no posting so far :o i also have a theory it might just be for my works that have "read more" breaks, so the story i'm working on remains un-read-more-broken with its whopping like 8k word count......... thank you for asking!! 😭 i think FOR NOW it remains ( buzzfeed unsolved voice ) solved!

[lynkolnevans]

Yo so I had an idea for a Saiki K fic but I gotta make sure of something first. Does anyone remember, either in canon or fan made, of something like this interaction:

Kusuke: I will pay you money to give me information on Kusuo and what he is doing. All you have to do is betray my brother's trust in you.

Character I Do Not Remember: No! I will never betray Kusuo!

*Later*

Character: Kusuo! Your brother offered me money to spy on and betray you, but I did not accept his proposal! I am super loyal and would never betray you!

Kusuo: What are you a fucking idiot? You just missed out on shitloads of money - money we could have used - and the opportunity to troll the shit out of my asshole brother. Hell, he's practically giving you free money with the amount of stalking and creepy shit he's already doing. Dumbass you should of taken the deal!

Like, I swear I saw something like this, i just cant remember? Did someone already post something like this? Am I just combining something from a different fandom? Was it Deja Vu?

****Update****

Alright, so the general consensus is that the above scene is from BBC’s Sherlock and did not happen in Saiki K canon. Even if it’s been seven years since I watched Sherlock, it must of wormed its way into my brain and stayed there.

Now that the mystery is solved, I want to say that anyone is free to use the scenario above and write their own fic! I just wanted to make sure someone had not already done so or something similar cause I was gonna add this into a Self-Insert OC fic where the main character actually takes the deal.

In summary: BBC Sherlock is where the scene comes from. You can use the above scenario to write your own fanfic. However, I plan on including the scenario in a Self-Insert OC fanfic where the SIOC accepts the deal.

Thanks for all help!!! <3

[perfectlywisedelusions]

they basically solved dyatlov pass

If you don’t know what the Dyatlov Pass Incident is, it was a group of hikers that were found dead in Russia and people thought it was aliens. Me being the true crime/unsolved mystery fanatic that I am, I was very pleased to see they basically solved it. The Smithsonian published an article where they used a simulation to test if a specific type of avalanche could have been responsible. The victims had injuries similar to a car crash, which made normal avalanches out of the question. There is a specific type of avalanche where snow slides down in one massive sheet, which would have hit the hiker’s camp at high speeds. The article posits that the more injured hikers were then grabbed by the less injured ones and dragged away from the campsite. What the article still has as unsolved is the fact they were found without clothes on. There’s a simple logical explanation, known as paradoxical hypothermia. This is a medical condition where, after a person is hypothermic, before death, they feel intense heat rather than cold. Pulling off clothes is very common in paradoxical hypothermia cases, and we all know that parts of Russia are freaky cold. So long story short it’s basically solved. Yay!

Have you never heard of such a thing, darling?

(The Timari Buzzfeed Unsolved AU)

Chapter 5: The Mysterious Case of the Dupain-Cheng Household

Lovingly, if you guys want to leave off on a kinda happy note, I suggest not reading this last one

Adrien smiles at the screen. He looks human, even if his hair is a little tousled and his skin is a little too clear. He probably could be a model, if that was what he wanted.

Of course, that was clearly not what he wanted, as he was currently filming a video for YouTube.

He waves to the camera.

“In this episode, I am going to solve the mystery of whether Tim Drake and Marinette Dupain-Cheng are dating!” he says, before immediately turning the camera around to show the pair of them curled up in bed together. Tim’s face is pressed into the crook of Marinette’s neck, his arms wrapped around her tightly even in his sleep. Marinette is awake, one hand lazily playing with Tim’s hair, the other doomscrolling on her phone. “Sorry, Gothamites, but it looks like you’re not going to get Tim back.”

She looks up at Adrien. Tries to look mildly annoyed, as if that will distract from the red starting to dust its way across her cheeks.

Adrien gives a dead-eyed stare to the camera. “Anyways… yes. They are dating. Save me.”

Marinette sets her phone down to give Adrien what can be assumed to be a rude gesture, but it is censored with a giant demonetization symbol.

Adrien only laughs in response, blowing a kiss her way.

She rolls her eyes, but still responds by blowing him a kiss of her own.

The demon seems to light up at the affection, a bounce in his step when he leaves.

Adrien pulls the camera away, and the video continues to follow him as he walks downstairs and takes a seat on the couch. For just a moment, people start to wonder whether this was a simple mistake and he forgot to cut out this part of the video. Confused viewers touch their screens, wanting to check to see how much longer the video is supposed to be continuing on for.

Only to find that the video is supposed to be over.

The time stamp reads 0:28/0:28.

So, why is there more?

Adrien looks at the camera again, and all traces of joy are gone from his expression. His eyes still gleam, but this is far less amused, far more wicked.

“Aren’t my humans cute?” Adrien asks the audience. It doesn’t feel like a real question, or even just a conversation starter. It sounds like a threat. “Tell me how cute they are in the comments below!”

He rests his head in his hand. His elbow is seemingly propped on thin air, but this doesn’t bother him in the slightest.

“Now that that’s out of the way. I want to talk to all of the government officials and researchers who have decided that they want a piece of me. I’m flattered and all, but…” He smiles wider than usual, showing off a set of wicked fangs that always seemed to be missing in the looks he gives Marinette and Tim. “Stop. You have finite resources, I don’t. And I will continue to dwindle down your numbers until you all leave me alone.”

He laughs, but this time there is a cruel note to it.

“Oh, and just in case you get any funny ideas. Touch my humans and I will start bringing innocents into this. It’s only fair, don’t you think?”

He tilts his head too far to the side, his smile stretching still wider. His mouth is no longer entirely fitting on his face, the corners almost seeming to have escaped it entirely. “And don’t bother trying to warn Tim and Mari in the comments, by the way. They won’t be hurt. You will.”

The viewer’s hands paused where they had been typing out that exact warning to the owners of the channel. For a moment, they dared to think it was a bluff, they began to type out the rest of their sentence.

Then, too-cold arms looped around them from behind, crossing themselves over their chest, a body (if you could call the writhing mass behind them that) pressing against their back. A chin came to rest atop their head.

“Well, you can’t say that I didn’t try to tell you,” it said, its mouth not moving, its voice so deep it buzzed in their ears. Long, gnarled, clawed fingers began to dig into their sides, not even stopped for a second by the fabric of their shirt. They couldn’t even bring themself to scream. “Leave my humans alone.”

Blood splattered.

It paid no mind. Bloodied claws reached over their slumped form, to their keyboard.

It held down backspace.

And then typed a simple message for the channel that it so adored:

What a cute couple :)

[dreamywriterinthedark]

Dating Stiles Stilinski would include...

During your first interactions he would love how you’d respond to his sarcasm with more sarcasm

Lingering stares and tons of chemistry

Everyone would notice that you’re both crushing on each other

The both of you denying it

The heart eyes he would give you

Like you are the most beautiful person he has ever laid eyes on (and you are)

Getting along with his dad and being part of the pack

Spending the night in his room trying to solve mysteries about the supernatural

He’d get all excited and proud when you crack something

“Oh my god, y/n, you’re a genius!”

Having sleepovers because he has nightmares and can’t really sleep without you

Spooning him

Long walks in the woods

Wearing his flannels

Sending him memes from across the room to watch his reaction

Being able to tell when the other is lying

Being there for each other

“Y/n, you’re not fine.” “Please talk to me.”

Pulling pranks

Partnering up for projects that would take forever to get done because you can’t keep your hands off each other

Studying with him and feeling your knees and shoulders brush but he wouldn’t move

Instead he would lean in closer to you, brush a strand of your hair out of your face and kiss you

Exchanging notes in class

Holding hands in the hall

Knowing his locker’s combination (it’s your birthday awe <3)

Leaving cute messages in it (on the board stuck to the door) for him to see when he’d get his books

Feeling everyone’s eyes on you whenever he’d wrap his arm around your shoulders

Kissing you on the cheek

Blasting music in the jeep and having a sing off

Watching buzzfeed unsolved with him on rainy days

Him texting you to make you sure you got home safely

He’d get all protective when going on missions

Movie theatre dates after school, sharing popcorn

Getting to hear all his theories (he always guesses who the killer is)

Making music playlists for each other. When you would recommend him a song he would actually listen to it

Remembering details about things you told him before

Reading each other’s body language and talking without words

Getting each other out of trouble

Once safe you’d call the other an idiot “Never again”

Cheering for him at his lacrosse games even though he’s terrible at it

Hugs that would last five minutes

[wolfsrainrules]

*yeets idea your way* HCs/ficlet for if Izuku and Hitoshi met and somehow ended up running a Buzzfeed Unsolved style channel together, but instead of supernatural stuff/cold cases it's all ongoing cases and hero/villain theories/breakdowns (maybe cold cases too tho)? Bonus if they end up actually SOLVING some of that stuff by accident because Izuku is just so extra and Hitoshi is too Tired™ and Amused™ to rein in Izuku's energy. Also Tired DadZawa trying to keep villains from kidnapping them.

Honestly, that's everything I love seeing XDD

Dadzawa is so done. He's trying to herd these kids into Heroics, if only so they can learn to save themselves

Hitoshi has no idea how this started. Izuku just saw him use his quirk in self defense, and absolutely lit up. It's not his fault the living embodiment of sunshine won him over in .5secs okay, anyone that hangs out with Izuku for more than 2mins will end up in the same boat mark his words

Hitoshi calls Izuku the living embodiment of sunshine, but that does not in any fashion mean that Izuku won't fuck you up. He's sunshine, yes, but he's feral. With the mind to break down your every insecurity at a glance. People assume they should fear making Shinsou angry- and they should- but it's worse if you stir Izuku to anger.

Shinsou spends this entire time telling people that Izuku is feral and dangerous and being told he's exaggerating despite the evidence of their video breakdowns, and he's smug as hell when it comes to light in a big way he was in fact underselling what Izuku could do.

Izuku has no idea how Shinsou became his best friend, and then talked him into posting his thoughts online.

The first video is a very badly done recording done with Shinsou's phone.

Aizawa finds them cause he likes to stalk that side of Herotube, just to see if he can find things worth looking into, or step in if needed

he's never had to step in because someone was too good at it though. That's new. He doesn't like it.

Especially when it's children. He's gonna fuck some people up if they dont leave his kids alone he swears to god.

[lokisprettygirl]

That's DB Cooper (Loki x Female Reader)

Summary : Your grandmother sees loki on tv and recognises him as the man who hijacked her plane in 1971.

"Oh my god that's D.B Cooper" you heard your grandmother exclaim as she watched the man on the news. Loki from Asgard, he attacked New York few days ago and brought a horde of an alien army on earth. You have lived all your life in Massachusetts, New York and as soon as you saw an alien aircraft flying over your head, you ran towards your home, you lived with your grandmother and she was all alone and you worried of her.

Thankfully there was this new team of superheroes and they called themselves Avengers, they were able to defeat the mad asgardian terrorist, and then after that he was all over the media and for weeks after that he was the only thing they talked about, and Why wouldn't they?

There was an order for his arrest by the USA government, but his brother thor claimed that loki was under an influence of something much bigger and worse than him, he claimed that loki was tortured himself and he didn't attack earth on his own free will, and hence the case was made. So There he was on the tv, Loki Odinson, he was being interviewed by CNN currently for his upcoming high profile case and as soon as your grandmother saw him in his black coat, with white shirt and a tie on she yelled loudly "That's D.B Cooper y/n, oh my god that's D.B Cooper" you chuckled as you heard her, you grew up with the stories of how DB Cooper passed your grandmother a note stating that he had a bomb,while she worked for Boeing 727 as a hostess.

You believed her eerie life story and she obviously went through that dreadful experience, and even though it was a huge mystery for conspiracy lovers and people all around the world made several assumptions about him, your grandmother always said that he was the most charming man she has ever met in her life, that he had a god like aura surrounding him. That she would have done anything for him, he had that kind of power over her.

"That's not possible nana, that's loki , the guy who attacked new york few days ago" you chuckled and she looked at you "Trust me my dear, I would never forget his face, I had my doubts when I saw him on the news before but in his alien costume he looked a little different but now, that's him I'm hundred percent sure"

She huffed and you looked at her, she was serious about this, cooper was such a huge mystery and he was never seen again, so you turned your eyes towards the tv and looked at loki, he was attractive you couldn't deny, a perfectly angular face, green eyes, sharp jawline, his voice honey laced as he spoke, the woman interviewing him clearly smittened with him, you could see her squirming in her seat as he would smile at her. He was charming as fuck even you couldn't deny, he had way with words.

"Nana are you thousand percent sure he is D.b Cooper? The guy you met 40 years ago? " You asked your grandmother and she nods in yes "I have never been more sure about anything else in my life" You smirked as you heard her.

"Then I think I'm going to solve one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in the history of earth"

➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖

Note : I have been obsessed with this case since I watched it on BuzzFeed unsolved and i gasped when they referenced it in loki so here's a little something. Wait for y/n to come face to face with db cooper 👀

Jwcc Ghost Hunting AU

(aka buzzfeed unsolved au)

- Darius, Kenji, and Sammy believe in the supernatural

- Ben, Yaz, and Brooklynn are all skeptics

- Brooklynn + Darius lead the group through haunted houses, buildings, and what-not. B is in charge of the camera and D narrates (he does most of the research)

- Brooklynn loves the true crime aspect of these "hauntings". Her inner detective activates and she swears she can solve these cases if given the proper resources.

- Kenji helps the gang with all their trips and destinations. Thanks to his dad's influence and connections, he can hook them up to restricted areas and provides transportation.

- Kenji claims he can handle these trips yet he's terrified of ghosts, but he's with his close friends so it's all worth it.

- Sammy always has the best ghost stories. Whenever they're on a drive to a local haunted residence, she shares stories about her dogs or the ranch animals sensing an unseen presence. Or about how her abuela's sister is a medium and all the scary things they've heard spirits say. Or about demon sightings her cousins have claimed to seen. (This stories freaks out Kenji)

- Yaz is usually unphased by all the supernatural stuff She tags along for Sammy and also because she's intrested in the true crime aspect like Brooklynn, but won't admit it.

- She sometimes pranks the group by whispering "boo" at the most unexpected times. She keeps them all down to earth and in check.

- Ben is the toughest skeptic of them all. He always points out the logical explanation to all the strange occurrences they face and rarely gets spooked.

- Ben's in it for the adventure, silly antics, and cool rundown building aesthetics. He gets to explore being out of his comfort zone with the safety of his friends.

- They split into groups whenever necessary like if they need to explore different floors or rooms. The pairs are different and they bond as friends by learning more about eachother.

- Things go south more often than not such as driving to the wrong location, old floorboards breaking, individuals getting separated from the group, low video storage, random wildlife attacking, rats, other residents reporting/calling a disturbance, and so on.

- Its really just a bunch of teens getting into trouble late at night for the views lol

- Then after every expedition, they either stop at a gas station to pick up slushies or dine in at a 24hr diner
