another tumblr copy/paste. Old Hunger modern AU.
juliana (26) and calypso (32) are roommates and they fucking hate each other but neither of them are willing to move out, like a game of psychosexual chicken. juliana freaks out at calypso at least once a week but calypso just kind of nods along until she stops screaming. (btw juliana runs an instagram pyramid scheme here. not relevant to the story but its part of my vision)
samantha (45) gets divorced bc she came out as a lesbian and starts dating calypso soon after. calypso deliberately tries to keep samantha and juliana apart and succeeds for a few months, but one morning juliana wakes up at 7am instead of after 12pm and she corners & interrogates samantha in the kitchen while wearing one of those tiny silk robes. after this calypso is putting out EXTREMELY hateful vibes towards juliana but it just goes rrrright over her head and she is soooo smug.
calypso takes an overseas trip after she and samantha break up (for reasons not unrelated to juliana) and juliana calls up samantha like Oh noooo how sad! Why don't we go to dinner and you can tell me alllll about it :)
samantha vents about the dubious ethics of hooking up with her ex's roommate who is almost 20 yrs younger to her cousin, isaac. isaac is like. Well if you were a man I would definitely say that's unethical but because of my views of women I will paint you as a conflicted and sympathetic figure.
Remember when i said juliana being an instagram scammer wasn't relevant? i lied. isaac is making a series of expose videos about juliana's products & her history of toxic behavior. juliana (who stalked all of isaac's social media after his first video came out) recognized samantha and immediately got into her head that fucking isaac's cousin = revenge (somehow)
isaac and juliana - within half an hour of existing in the same room - get into a screaming match . they get married 10 days after.
unbeknownst to all parties, calypso has cameras in her apartment and bugged samantha's house. she's been monitoring the situation from afar and is prepared to leak all of this onto the internet.
