Idk, a toxic plot with an influencer couple would absolutely slap. Millions of followers are convinced they’re soulmates. Behind closed doors, though, it’s screaming matches and a relationship held together more by contracts than love. They can’t even tell which acts of affection are genuine anymore and which are purely performative. Breaking up would mean dismantling the lucrative brand they built, so they stay, sometimes because incredible sex or empty promises buy them another week.
The big city they relocated to only fuels their chaos. They party, flirt with other influencers/celebrities, and excuse it as “networking” whenever angrily confronted. Over time they’ve each collected enough dirt to destroy the other’s carefully curated image. One has clips of their “passionately vegan” partner eating meat. The other has footage of drunken meltdowns and cosmetic procedures their S/O publicly denied ever having. Nearly every fight ends with someone threatening to hit upload.
Yet at their best, they’re almost impossible not to root for. One admits they’re homesick, and the other quietly books flights home. No cameras or sponsored content. Just the two of them revisiting the places they fell in love before they became a brand. They’re capable of moments so sincere they almost convince themselves they can still find their way back to each other.
