Catch-Up Discussion: The Troublemakers (Tom & Eliot + Luna) from Sinful to Misfits

You all voted and the results are in 🎉💗 This month, we'll be catching up with Tom, Eliot, and Luna -- the resident Troublemakers -- during their time in Sinful Like Us, Headstrong Like Us, Charming Like Us, Wild Like Us, Fearless Like Us, Infamous Like Us, and the upcoming Misfits Like Us! So there'll be a lot of time-span we'll be covering! We *might* be recording this one before Misfits Like Us releases, but if that's the case, we'll still be posting it after July 22nd (the release), so we can talk about events in Misfits and discuss spoilers 👽🎉

Illyana

Are Eliot and Tom AWARE that Charlie has a special connection and affinity towards Luna? Or has Charlie been very coveted about his relationship of it, for fear of it getting tainted?

Illyana

Does Luna know what goes on during Wednesday night dinners from Tom and Eliot? Or is she not f*cked to ask XD

Elizabeth

A part from each other, who would each member go to first if they need help? Will Elliott and Tom be on Lo’s side because he’s their favourite uncle?

Sophia Heaman

1. What do Tom and Eliot think of Luna and Donnelly? 2. When Luna goes to Hell’s Kitchen to visit what is a usually visit like?

Alexandra

I'm so curious about the Troublemakers in High School. Do you have any funny stories, anecdotes that you can maybe share?

Alexandra

In regards to Luna and her being bullied so much for basically her whole life. How do Tom and Eliot feel about that? We've seen them be super cute and loyal and defensive of her in SKOP with the sleepover scene and in the LU timeline when they "avenged" the guy that shit talked Luna after they hooked up. But how have they reacted and felt about her bullying overall? Has it shaped them, seeing Luna go through that (maybe even made them more protective in general or have they ever felt helpless) ? Also, especially because they are so protective, has either one of the boys ever retaliated against Jeffra or another one of Luna's bullies (besides what we have seen on-page)? If yes, in what way and if no, how come? And how popular were Tom and Eliot in High School? Probably a lot more than Luna, right? How come Luna's association with them never helped her own social standing or made her seem "cooler" in the eyes of her peers?

Alexandra

The night when Luna was photographed kissing a few different guys, I think that was in NYC clubs right? So, were Tom and Eliot with her that night? Do they go out clubbing together a lot? Would they play wingman/woman for each other?

Alexandra

Does Luna know about Tom's former crush on Farrow? If yes, when did he tell her about that and how does she feel about it?

Alexandra

What do Tom and Eliot think about Luna going to college? Have they ever hung out with her on campus?

Alexandra

Were Tom and Eliot disappointed when Luna decided to stay in Philly rather than move in with them in NYC? Do they sometimes still try to convince her to move?

Alexandra

How do Tom and Luna help Eliot with dealing with his dyslexia (emotionally but also in practical things like helping him with reading things in public)? How have they managed to keep his dyslexia a secret from everyone or did people in school know and simply the media and general public doesn't?

Alexandra

does Luna rather go to NY to visit Eliot and Tom or do the two rather come to Philly?

Alexandra

how is Tom and Eliot's relationship to Donnelly (pre MLU)? I think Donnelly used to be Tom's bodyguard right? And they must have been around him a bit since Donnelly was Beckett's bodyguard for so long

Alexandra

Some favorites :) - travel destination - place on earth in general - first person they call with bad news or when they're sad - first person to call after they had a hook up - alcoholic drink - first person they call with good news - first person they call when in trouble

AR

How did you change the way you wrote the trio from non-luna pov books to where luna is the main character? Rank the members of the core 6 most to least likely to be able to deal with the troublemaking trio

Alexandra

were the troublemakers with each other for the first time getting drunk/high? how were those experiences?

Alexandra

what car do they all drive?

A spector

1. How will Eliot and Tom react to a romantic interest of Luna’s? Eliot conceived Cobalt truth or dare is there a chance of a repeat? A different game? How will Donnelly’s feelings for the Cobalts influence his changing role, especially with the Troublemakers? 2. In Famous Like Us, we see the Famous ones discussing the Rochesters and actions to take in response (lex talionis). How does the Troublemakers version of revenge differ from Charlie’s version? Eliot clearly struggles with the knowledge that Winnifred Rochester is mute, what feelings is he expressing and where are they coming from? In past books Charlie’s actions have been questionable when in defense of his family (Easton, theater thief, Nate, blackmailing Sulli) how does he rationalize his actions and does he have a heart? 3. What kinds of fans do each of the Troublemakers have? (Charlie states Eliot’s fans are his favorite and Tom had fans auditioning for drummer) and are their fans influenced by their media coverage? 4. For each of the Troublemakers, how have the experiences of their parents, siblings and cousins influenced how they feel about relationships and families? What events and experiences have shaped or changed these opinions? 5. Who/what are the top 10 foes of the Troublemakers? (From their text message?) one of them is celebrity crush can you give us any others? 6. Ideal date?

Sarah

What’s one secret that Jack knows about each of them? It can be silly like everyone thinks Tom hates root beer but it’s secretly his favorite flavor and he has a stash of A&W in his room.

Deniz

What do they most and least like about each other?

Elara

We saw how Eliot reacted to wanting to protect Ben after he was in a fight with his teammates after one of them asked out Audrey. Does/did he react the same way when Jeffra or the Rochesters initially messed with Luna in high school and FLU?

Dani P

Which of the Troublemakers spend the most amount of time/ have the most contact with Charlie?

Alice Berlin

In Charming like us, Charlie went to get Luna’s fic that he was editing which was stole and injured the guy who took it - what were Tom, Eliot and Luna’s reactions to that scene and do they know the full extent of what Charlie did?

Maelyn Lagman

How did this friendship start and who initiated it?

ann.nonymous

- Were Tom and Elliot bullied during school the same way Luna was? - Who’s the one who comes up with most of the wild ideas that get the trio into trouble? - How often do the troublemakers see each other in person? How often do they text or FaceTime? - What is their favorite activity to do together? - Will they normally hang out as a trio only or will they still hang out in pairs when one of them is busy? - How do Tom and Elliot feel about Luna and Donnelly? Do they approve? Will they put Donnelly through a test like Thatcher? Would they invite Donnelly into their squad? - How much do they tell each other? Do they share romance/sex stories with each other? - Would you say that Tom and Elliot are closer to one another (because they’re siblings) than with Luna? Or are the three of them equally close? - If something big happens, would the troublemakers be the first person they spill the beans to?

Teresa

Due to there different personalities what brings them together mostly other than there closeness in age and what are somethings due to their personalities that can cause conflict between the trio?

Yasti

Since all of Luna’s roommates are married with kids, would she consider moving out at some point and moving in with Tom and Eliot? Would Luna even want to live with them in the future? I know she stayed in Philly because of Jane but I’m just curious since it appears they’re in different stages of life now

Alexandra

This is probably too spoilery but has Eliot mentioned anything to Tom and/or Luna about Winnifred? Or maybe his thoughts on her selective mutism? What does he think about that? I feel like he would really be able to relate and emphasize with her due to his dyslexia

Yasti

How often does Luna stay over at Hell’s Kitchen?

Teresa

What is the process of Eliot remembering lines from scripts? Do the people he works with aware of his dyslexia and do they help make if easier for him?

Teresa

What was Tom's relationship like with Donnelley when he was his bodyguard? Did he wish Donnelley stayed as his body guard? How did Rose and Connor feel when Donnelly was put on Tom's detail?

Alexandra

In one of the bonus scenes, Luna says she's not sure whether she should call Tom and Eliot because “I don’t want some big revenge plot with that guy. I want to feel like I did nothing wrong.” does that mean that the two Cobalt boys can sometimes be "steamrollers" a bit and maybe not as good at reading a situation and prioritizing emotional support? Not that they're callous but just that they have more of act rather than talk approach to things that doesn't always mesh with Luna's needs?

Alexandra

What are some experiences that the three really relate to each other on and some things where they can't at all?

Alexandra

What do Tom and Eliot think about Luna's fics? Do they read them regularly?

Shamima Afzal

since Charlie and Luna are close, does Charlie ever hang out with Luna eliot and Tom? and what do those hang outs look like?

🩰

Do they tell each other everything? How did tom and Eliot react when luna decided to not live with them? Would u say they are each others go to? How does tom and Eliot feel about Donnelly? Do they consider each others number ones? or they have other more closer friends than each other? would we see a lot of them in MLU since their Lunas best friends?

Yasti

What did the troublemakers do for Eliot’s 21st birthday?

Yasti

How excited are Tom and Eliot about becoming uncles??

Alexandra

why do tom and eliot like lo specifically so much? does he return those feelings? i know sulli is kinda his favorite niece now but are tom and eliot his favorite nephews?

Joalena

Do you already know who Eliot‘s and Tom‘s love interests are going to be? If yes could you maybe tease a bit of what they‘re going to be like?

A spector

Would anyone trust them with babysitting duties? Should we expect more videos like the cat video Jane received during fan-con?

Teresa

What is the first impression elliot and Tom had of Donnelly when they first met him?

Deniz

What do they like to do together?

A spector

Do Eliot and Tom have friends outside the family unit? Luna’s friends are limited to family and bodyguards. Both Eliot and Tom have professional associates from their careers and I am curious if they would be considered friends bc most of the famous ones are hesitant about outsiders. In a similar vein, Beckett has Leo as a professional rival but seems to be friendly with Roxanne. How do they handle personal and professional relationships?

Krista & Becca Ritchie
