#haha i didnt mean to make lowkey unsolved ff thats my bad

[wiener-soldiers]

Would you do hcs on Peter and reader being like Shane and Ryan from Buzzfeed Unsolved?

oh my god i LOVE THIS

(if you didn’t read this fic about it) so when thor returns to earth with peter quill and the rest of the guardians, y/n and peter are freaking out because peter quill?? was on an episode of unsolved?? and ryan was convinced that he was abducted by aliens?? and he was RIGHT?????

they were freaking out and tried really hard not to start live streaming it right away

as a stark, y/n had a shit ton of clout online so the moment she opened her mouth about something as culturally iconic to gen z as this, twitter would break

so she and peter formulated a very specific plan: they were going to interview peter quill about his story, then invite ryan and shane and surprise them with him

peter quill was kinda shook about how he became popular because he disappeared. he was also in this weird space where he had been away from the earth for his entire life but surrounded by another alien tech

basically, he was confused as to why ppl from earth spent so many resources developing shit like buzzfeed unsolved and not space exploration

he was equally as confused as to why iron man’s kid and her spider-sticky bf boy were asking to interview him about how he was abducted

he said okay anyway because why the fuck not

peter and y/n sat peter quill in the avenger’s tower and just asked him to recount the story of how he got abducted and where’s he’s been after that. they asked him to bring proof, and because all the other guardians were unavailable, he brought a moody, teenage groot along

after the interview, y/n and peter told him they’d be right back as they went downstairs to greet their guests

getting ryan and shane to fly out to new york to meet them was (kinda) tricky. but when tony stark’s literal child publicly calls you out on twitter and invites you to interview some avengers, you fucking show up

it did help that y/n told them that tony stark was going to be at the tower the day of their interview

so in the elevator on the way up, peter and y/n are so excited they might explode, ryan is freaking out because he’s in the avengers tower, and shane is complaining because his shoes don’t match his outfit

they bring them to meet peter quill and ryan and shane freak out. for a solid hour and a half.

they then film a new unsolved video where they use the interview footage of peter quill recounting the story of how he got abducted and ryan and shane just asking him questions about his life.

then they film another video of peter quill reacting to his episode of unsolved with ryan, shane, peter, and y/n (they upload that video to y/n’s newly formed yt channel)

both videos go viral immediately.

it’s the most views buzzfeed has gotten since every single talented person on their staff left because fuck buzzfeed

that excitement for solving mysterious is addictive to y/n and peter so they keep doing it

y/n’s channel became a never used channel with the one video of peter quill reacting to his own unsolved video to her and peter investigating other pop culture rumors

they never rlly had an affinity for ghost hunting (and they didn’t want to steal ryan and shane’s show), but being teenagers, they heard a lot or random rumors and conspiracy theories that they wanted to investigate

and being avengers as well as having connections to tony fucking stark, they had the resources to investigate

so y/n and peter start a series where the investigate pop culture rumors, conspiracy theories, and urban legends

y/n tends to lean on the side of believing these rumors (because if a talking tree is staying at your place of residence, you have the tendency to believe shit like that) whereas peter was more cautious.

the first half of the video usually involved them sitting at a table, discussing the conspiracy theory, and debating its legitimacy. the second half usually involves them flying to a certain place in the world to investigate.

usually, they bring a special guest along with them. mostly because they need someone to fly them, but also protection. and it doesn’t hurt their views

sam and bucky are their most frequent guests. sam because he’s hilarious and makes every episode more chaotic and bucky because y/n and peter feel safe around him and the internet thirsts over him

they collab with ryan and shane a few times, but mostly make 20-30 min eps in their free time

one investigation they've been on was when they traveled to a small village in the middle of europe where there was said to be a portal to another part of the universe. they bring stephen strange, and he concludes that its a hoax

on another investigation, there’s this rumor that there’s a building in south america where if you jump from a certain balcony, you will “jump” into another dimension. they bring thor along to test that and he determines that it does not work

another really memorable investigation was a rumor that a lake somewhere in north america is “magnetic” and if there’s a big enough magnet, the water will actually deflect away from it. it was rumored that the us government would bury bodies under that like because you could never get to them. all the avengers went on that trip. they wanted a lake vacation but also wanted to test the dumb theory. ultimately, nothing happened but y/n and peter took turns trying to skip cap’s shield like it was flat rock

despite the internet not knowing peter parker was spider-man, they easily became obsessed with the conspiracy busting duo
