For Rhysand Week Day 7: Free Day, I give you: romcom Rhysta AU. I have to give credit to @beansidhebumbling, who shared a snippet of a "10 Things I Hate About You" Rhysta fic that changed me at a molecular level. In that vein, I give you: How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days Rhysta!

@officialrhysandweek

Nesta is a journalist for a woman's magazine that's always wanted to write things that matter. Her boss has promised her that she'll be able to write whatever she wants after one more article: How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. She has to find a guy, start dating him, then convince him to break up with her within 10 days. The problem? Her target is Rhysand, a playboy advertising executive who needs to make a woman fall in love with him within 10 days to be his company's liason for a lucrative diamond marketing campaign.

*****************************************

Rhys leaned against the railing on his balcony, eyes glued to the gorgeous woman sashaying towards a taxi with a tantalizing sway of her hips. His lips still stung from their kiss; the little minx had bitten him. He had to admit, he had almost gotten carried away, on the verge of careening off the edge from first base all the way home. But he had to stay focused. His entire career was on the line. He had ten days to win this bet and get Nesta Archeron to fall for him, head over heels. 

There were worse people to seduce, he mused as Nesta opened the door to her cab. She was hot, smart, and just a little mean in a sexy way. The kind of woman who prided herself on being able to sniff out bullshit a mile away. Still, she had succumbed to his charm already. He wouldn’t need the full ten days.

Nesta turned just before getting into the cab, giving him a flirtatious wiggle of her fingers. Rhys blew her a kiss, causing her to roll her eyes and laugh. “Oh, you are already falling in love with me,” he murmured to himself. 

Her mark was cute, she had to give him that. And a good kisser. Unsurprising, considering Nesta could practically smell the playboy sleeze coming off him in waves. It was a shame she couldn’t actually sleep with him, but that wasn’t part of the plan. 

She could feel his eyes on her ass as she walked away. Rhysand was easy, and Nesta felt like she already knew everything about him. It had been laughably simple to get an invite over to his place. Men like that loved tittering docile women, but they craved someone with a little bit of a bite. Just a few minutes of flirty sarcasm and he was putty in her hands. The stage was perfectly set. She had ten days to drive him insane. Rhysand would lose it and break up with her. She’d write her article, and then her obnoxious boss would lighten up and let Nesta write whatever she wanted. 

In the open doorway of the taxi she glanced back, displaying the gleaming arch of her neck. She waggled her fingers in farewell, and Rhys blew her a kiss from the balcony. It was so cheesy it prompted a real laugh, and she rolled her eyes. She looked up at him again once the cab door was closed and her face was shielded behind the window. Her coy grin shifted into a wicked smirk.

“I’m gonna make you wish you were dead.”

What's the vibe? #20

News:

WGA is striking - what happened last time there was a WGA strike you ask? What will happen this time?

Vice is supposedly filing for bankruptcy. All of I-d's international offices closed and I wouldn't be surprised if this structure changed them to be a quarterly magazine.

Paper Magazine is no more.

Prediction: So what fills the gap this year and next year. I think writers will band together and create something new. I think the issue with anything now is money and advertising. I would say on a lower level, zine culture being more unique...trying to create images that haven't really been seen in bigger publications, faster? Less tik-tok trends, more "what do we want to see in the world today?"

DIY aesthetics, pushing it to paper or maybe?? (No need for scanners now, Adobe Scan will do) Images by any means necessary - cheap cameras, camcorders, documenting everything - indie sleeze will end

Imperfection and trying to figure it out?

We'll go back to the blog era (probably more faster than predicted), checking out each others blogs for individual things that have happened. BeReal but longform of course.

Two new social media sites that will be going through growth in the next few years: cohost and BlueSky (made by Jack D, ex founder of Twitter).

I am traveling and stopped at a shitty strip mall in a pretty affluent area for dinner. The same loan shark companies that offer payday loans and stuff in my dirt poor corner of the country are no shit advertising money laundering and tax shelteeing services. I read "we transfer money to Cuba via Western Union" and my first thought was "Oh! This must be an area with a lot of Cuban American families! How nice!" But then I was like "Oooohhhhhhhh.... that's right" Sleezers gotta sleeze I guess
