General

- this is not like buzzfeed unsolved cuz I havent watched it and dont want to

- demons are like. These sort of evil things. They dont exist in hell cuz that's. Religion

- demons exist in another dimension that's like rlly chaotic. They exist to make the real world more chaotic. No one knows why. Not even the demons.

- the Biggest demon is shlatt. Ppl arent exactly sure if hes even real but he still has influence no matter what.

- shlatt has a number of underlings (one of which is mo) who try to cause chaos in the real world thru middle management.

- now. Ghosts. When people die, sometimes they die peacefully. Sometimes not. Ghost happened when people dont.

- sometimes ghosts come to peace and leave but some just wanna vibe irl. So they do.

Ok so humans (?)

Andy

-hes just like a dude. But hes cool

-the leaves on his head were, at first, just because he climbed through some bushes in the first video. They became part of his brand.

-once he got really popular, he got a beanie made with felt leaves on the top.

-he made a youtube channel a while ago. His first video was him exploring an abandoned warehouse. He got spooked by Bee, who was there, vibin.

-he edited it very good. It exploded. Ppl memed him.

-his channel, Ayap-Ghosts, went viral overnight. He went from tinyyyy lil baby channel to a cultural phenomenon literally in 24 hours.

-good thing he happens to be VERY good at editing and filming n stuff.

-though, however good he is at youtubing he is in this au, one dude cant keep a big youtube channel up for more than a month without burning out n dying, which brings us to

Mo

-ok, so now we have to define demons.

-I know this category said humans at the top. Shut up. Lemme talk.

-demons are made of two things and two things only. Stories and allegiance to shlatt.

-all demons have an original story (ie: some dude sees something creepy in the woods) and then once theyr created one of the shlatt underlings finds them and gets them in. Theres like facilities. Its actually rlly nice.

-so what's the problem with mo? Shlatt never found her.

-shes just. Hanging out in creepy places.

-the thing is, she pretty much passes for a human, (excluding the mask she cant take off) and because of that, she has to eat and stuff.

-so what job lets someone show their face rarely, encourages weirdness, and lets you keep a finger on the pulse of the demons?

-Ayap-ghosts editor.

-once she was fully created (which took about a month of retellings of the creepy girl in a bird mask (sidenote: probs just someone's Halloween costume)) she hung out for a while, waiting for someone to come get her, and when it became clear no one was gonna get here, she started realizing that she needed to eat.

-once she got really hungry, she found out she could get a job.

-and then andy posted the first video.

-she saw that he needed an editor/extra filmer, and she jumped on the opportunity, and just like. Drove over to his house and was like "ok I live here now"

-the thing with demons though, the more people retell and add to their story, the more powerful they become.

-Mo (and soph but I'll get to that later) is very very powerful. Ayap-ghosts has fan communities who tell their story and await their weekly uploads!

-though, a channel would be nothing without its content. Which brings us to

Ghosts and Demons

Bee

-when she first met andy, she was just chilling in a local warehouse, when this kid with leaves on his head (???) Just wandered in scared looking with a camera.

-she decided it would be very fun to torment him.

-she followed him around for a bit and then popped thru a wall. Very scary stuff.

-once he uploaded the video, she realized this could actually be really cool.

-she just like, went over to his house also. (Same night as mo)

-and was like "hey whaddup".

-andy freaked out at first but bee calmed him down. She offered to be part of the channel.

-also, smol tangent, ghosts (and demons) can look however they want, so bee and soph chose to look scary for the Views.

-so now, filming consists of bee, mo, and andy driving out to some spoooooky place ("this is bullshit I dont need cars I can float" "stfu bee the rest of us have corporeal forms")

-and then setting up some scary scenario for mo and andy to film. So Andy's fear is pretty much all a complete bit. Theyr all havin fun guys.

Soph

-demon

-bit of a high level one too, high up enough on the chain to have met shlatt personally once.

-she used to be not as high level though. At first she was just a lackey but! One day, shlatt heard of a very successful youtube channel.

-he sorta rifled thru his files and was like heres one! Hey soph get over here!

-soph got over there.

-he was like "go bother these kids" and she was like "ok"

-she got there to see a ghost, a sorta demon, and a human dude filming a spooky video

-so at first shes like "hm I know how to cause chaos" and destroys the film set.

-they just sorta laugh. A broken flim set is just as creepy as anything

-and she like "huh"

-and then she watches them. This is about the third video they've done together so they have a sorta rythm.

-and she realizes that their goals are the same!

-at the end of the video, she goes down and apologizes. And everyone, to her surprise is like "oh it's all cool"

-and then all of them sorta just arrange to meet once in a while and film! Soph shows up sorta rarely (demon business, yknow) but she still shows up regularly.

Misc

-theres no story is just these three are friends and they do videos.

-Andy's good at baking. I just decided this now. It fits w his charater idk.

-mo tried to help once. Mo is not good at baking.

-soph tells mo about the demon world. Mo still wants to be part of it but shes happy where she is.

-Andy is really scared in the first video, but not in any of the others. None of the others were sorta ""real"" even though the first wasnt either.

-theyr all just friends idk what else to do w this.
