A note before we dive into this: I’ve been reading GCS & the only thing y’all need to know is that Ivy HATES zatanna for really like... no reason. She just hates her and ofc y’all know I LIVE for salt and drama like that so without further ado~
IvyZee Instagram Rivals AU: (shoutout to tee for being my sounding board for the idea first aksjka)
Zee is an insta Influencer & youtube star who posts How-Tos for amatuer magic tricks and makes super positive & uplifting posts
She opens her videos with ‘hey ghouls, goblins and gremlins across the globe! It’s your girl, Zee with (etc. etc.)’
Yes she’s verified on twitter & her tweets are screenshot with some regularity. Pay attention to her! She’s fascinating!
She mostly does collabs with Dinah & her band and some other Known Social Justice Leaguers on certain Hot Button Issues.
Ivy is a no-nonsense Aesthetic & botany blogger and always adds a tiny but kind of hilarious insult to each bit of advice she gives ppl (which has a bit of charm bc who doesn’t love being called a Simple Bitch from time to time)
She absolutely has the Ph.D. mention in her twitter bio and blows up a little after having her field mansplained to her + clapping back in The Most Scathing Way (one note. She’s not verified.... yet)
She has a Not So Secret personal tumblr which chronicles more of her Personal thoughts & has botany memes for days (yes that’s a real thing. I assure you)
She’s known to do collabs with her roommates (take One Fucking Guess Who I Mean), But those are few and far btwn.
It starts off with a couple of pics that they post that are EERILY similar and then it just GOES OFF from there
Naturally what they hate abt each other when they’re first made Aware of one another is their Presence & Demeanor online
They first get into Formal Public ‘fights’ on twitter (each claiming the other should be the bigger person and admit to stealing their aesthetics/idea/posing/idk really petty shit okay?)
Fans on both sides keep commenting “make out already” and LOSE THEIR MINDS WHEN THEY DO but let’s not get ahead of ourselves
Zee at some point absolutely spouts off about “why should I listen to someone who’s not even verified lmao”
Ivy, idk like a day later or however long it takes to get Verified; *subtweets Zee w/ a gif of Elle Woods ‘what like it’s hard?’ And starts a whole thread abt the process (it’s really simple, it’s ridiculous guys anskajdjaks ANYONE can be Verified)*
Things get Progressively Worse from there & this beef lasts for Months™️ until their friends figure out a way to turn this into something Good™️
Which is, ofc, to use this drama and rise in internet fame to turn their fans to a fundraiser that they mutually agree is important (something with the environment more or less)
This eventually DOES end in an irl meetup for a vlog plus a confession that they had been DMing for the better part of a year and flirt-fighting during most of it
(Feel Free to add ideas of what else they can beef about or make your own InstaRivals AU posts abt other characters & tag me in those!)
