Welcome to the newest Fizz Hangout! Every Friday, you all can stop by the weekly Fizz Hangout post and ask questions (to us or to your fellow patrons), discuss recent bonus scenes and/or podcasts with each other, and catch up on all the goodies you might've missed!

HANGOUT QUESTION: we love seeing your response to questions about the Like Us series, and it helps facilitate some awesome discussions! Each week, there'll be a new "hangout question" that you can answer in the comments, if you wish! The question this week is...

If you had to pick one LIKE US SERIES character to be your best friend, who would it be and why? Besties! 

WEEKLY RECAP

Happy Friday, magical & super heroic beauties!! We're so excited for everything in September. We're hard at work on the bonuses and podcast prep. Plus, we're deep into the Dishonestly Yours writing cave. It was so much fun creating a new world and universe with Love & Other Cursed Things, and we're finding the same joy and fun with this new book. But as always, we can't stay away from the Hales, Meadows, and Cobalts, which is why we LOVE Patreon. It gives us the best reason to return to our staple world and create more bonuses for all of you  🥰

In case you missed it, here's everything that went down on Patreon this week:

Michelle Roberson

Banks! His warmth and devotion is very comforting to me.

Emely

Could I just have all the Hale family as my besties:))) and Audrey because she is my hopeless romantic gal 💖

Andrea

I would love to have Oscar or Frog as a bestie from SFO and Jane or Beckett from the kids 🖤 Are you gonna keep up with the Disney expo this weekend?? For any marvel or Star Wars updates? 😊

🩰

Charlie and Beckett all the way especially Charlie I just they give me comfort and I relate to them💀😭 but from the youngest ones Audrey and Xander I really relate to them a lot so I feel like we’ll get along well same goes for Charlie and Beckett

Lexy K

Maximoff! I love how he’s always there for his fam and his loyalty 💖

Courtney Kaelin

I would loveeee to have Audrey as my best friend, I’m also a hopeless romantic and know we would just be watching romantic dramas 24/7

🩰

Oh and from the core 8 garrison and Loren I relate to them a lot so I feel like we’ll get along really well especially lo

Zeynep

beckett or maximoff, they are both so kind

Yasti

Audrey would 100% be my bestie, because I do have close friends in real life that remind me of her and I think it’s because we have so much in common! Other than Audrey, I would probably say Winona, Beckett, or Jane.

Nicole

hmm my first thought was Oscar cause , snacks but then I was like no Jane I love her quirkiness

Sioned

I absolutely adore eliot and maximoff! Moffy would put me at ease but also push me to be a better person, which I need! And Eliot would just be an amazing friend…he’d remind that I’m capable and strong even though I have a hard time reading. I also really relate to oscar and charlie (with wanting love) and our love for classics!! We’d definitely have some good conversations 😊 You’ve written a character for everyone krista and becca!! Thank you xx

dstny

FARROW FOR SURE

Eleanor C

Winona or Ben 🫶🫶 I love my little envoairmentalists

Eleanor C

Tom, Eliot and Luna would be so chaotic and fun to hang out with

Sara

Oscar -- I love snacks and gossip

Sarah

Audrey, that chic is breaking the mold and getting an F in gym. I’d be doing the same. I’d need someone to hang out with while I skipped the class. Whispers: I think you mean hallucination dust

Sarah

That’s a good one

Lexy K

I totally agree! There really is a character for everyone!

Ellieeeee

I can’t choose just oneeeeee, Luna and Eliot Would be really fun friendsss, but also obviously Jane and Moffy and Beckett as welllll. And can’t forget bby Xander

Meg

Audrey or Charlie!! Both very interesting characters. I feel like it would take a lot of Charlie to have a best friend but once he does he would be extremely protective of the friendship

Angelina (Charlies version) ♟️

Luna definitely me and her are so so similar, I relate to her so much and I also think I could help her be more confident and she could help me with things too so I feel like we would be really good friends

Angelina (Charlies version) ♟️

But also me and Jane would be such good friends and Farrow could probably help me be as calm as him (which i definitely need) and me and Sulli would laugh so much together, our inner dialogues are similar and we have similar senses of humor but also me and and oscar would gossip so much and donnelly is just a joy to be around hes also super kind and I would love his positive mindset so in short we’d be great friends but if I had to pick I would pick luna because she is me and I am her basically HAHAHA

Kristin

That’s tough! Probably Donnelly or Oscar. I just finished Misfits and I have to say I freaked out when I saw Neshaminy State Park in it! I grew up not far from there and used to walk there every day. You described it perfectly!

Sioned

Agreed but I can’t have a carbon copy of myself for a best friend, can I?!😂

Lauren Gibbs

I wanna be best friends with everyone, but I'm picking Farrow~ 💕✨️💯

Arianna

Xander because we are so similar 🫶or the troublemakers because they seem like lots of fun 🤩

S (Charlie's version)

Charlie bc he's so fascinating and interesting or the troublemakers I love them, they're so funny 😂😂🥰🥰

gabi

Elliot for sure I think - Moffy as a close runner up ;)

Vex

Same

Vi Truong

Random Question : 🧐 thoughts on the slogan of the sweatshirt to be on the back? Like LiLo and Raisins? I would like to get it autograph one day but it so glaring in the front 😂 I love the print on the t shirt though.. like how the zip up hoodies have it on the back

S (Charlie's version)

Random question : but can you please write a bonus with Maximoff's pov of the moment Charlie annonce him that I can be the CEO of H.M.C again ?

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We did keep up a little bit! We mostly listened to a podcast about it 💗 We're hoping Pop Culture Leftovers (our fav pop culture podcast) will cover it soon too. There wasn't too much new news that we heard (we're always holding out for new X-Men news lol!)

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Aww I love thinking that there is someone for every reader in the series!! Makes me so happy 🥰 🥰 ~ B

Andrea

Omg yes it was surprisingly disappointing. The few things they confirmed was already known. Honestly the best thing was the Secret Invasion trailer which has me PUMPED. I’m dying to know more about Ant Man 3 but they are being way too secretive about it. And X-Men fans are really being played dirty ☹️ after they acquired fox you’d think a new x-men would be done relatively soon

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Omg so awesome that you have a fondness & connection to that state park! We were so curious if any readers had been there before 💕

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We'll look into this! You're the first person who's asked for the big graphics to be on the back for Threadless, so we'll have to see if it's possible 💗 We do love shirts with the little graphics on a pocket square (those are some of our favs) xoxo

Krista & Becca Ritchie

That's in our list of bonus suggestions! (We'll put a star next to it so we know it's been requested multiple times.) It's definitely one we hope to write in the future 💗

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We heard that they might not do X-Men for another 7 yrs (when Brian Singer is fully detached from it -- something about his contract expiring, I guess), and that was a big bummer that it'll be so long. I'm still trying to stay away from all trailers and be surprised like I did for the most recent Spider-Man movie. It was the best experience! So I haven't seen Secret Invasion at all (but I love knowing it looked awesome!!) ~ B

Vi Truong

Omgosh that would be amazing! ^_^ and little graphics on pocket square are my fav too! subtle fandom screams <3 <3 <3

Julie

Jane!

Julie

Or Donnelly, love his energy and how he keeps things positive

A spector

This is a trick question, you can’t be friends with just one person bc the relationship dynamics are too complicated…thanks MK
