Lucia

Lo goes to Connor a lot for advice, is there any friendship or family pairing that resembles that dynamic. Maybe Sulli at the beginning asking Beckett about polyamory? Are there any other examples?

Lucia

Which friendships would you say have the best banter? And could you talk about their differences and similarities?

Lucia

Idk if it's really related or maybe it's a bit spoilery but in the Troublemakers Fireside chat Tom and Eliot say that Charlie never does anything for them and Luna wonders if they ever asked for his help. Then Luna asks Charlie to help her get in the tour bus, so were those two conversations related? Was that a way for Luna to give Charlie a chance?

Lucia

Could you talk about the differences and similarities between Luna+Charlie/Connor+Lily Charlie+Sulli/Connor+Ryke The Yale boys/Connor+Loren+Ryke Thatcher+Banks+Akara/Ryke+Lo+Connor Maximoff+Xander/Ryke+Loren Winona+Maximoff+Eliot/ Lo+Rose+ Ryke (hot temper triads) Maximoff+Jane+Charlie/ Connor+Ryke+Rose Jane+Luna+Sulli/Rose+Lily+Daisy Sulli+Winona/Rose+Daisy Cobalt Brothers/Calloway sisters (There's a ton of them so I understand if you can't do them all, thank you either way ❤️)

booky

Can you guys talk about the similarities and differences between the friendship of Daisy,Willow,Lily and Rose and that of the Girl squad

Lauren

Daisy/Willow and Winona/Vada - how similar/dissimilar are those two friendships?

Ella

who is the “lo” of the like us series? who is the “lily” of the like us series? who is the “connor” of the like us series? who is the “rose” of the like us series? who is the “ryke” of the like us series? who is the “daisy” of the like us series? who is the “garrison” of the like us series? who is the “willow” of the like us series?

Ella

which friendship in the like us series is most like garrison & lily’s? also which friendship is most similar to garrison & lo // garrison & connor?

Ella

how do you guys decide how certain duos will be? (like, how did u guys decide that connor & lo would have their relationship, garrison & lo, etc etc). is there any relationship/friendship that you didnt originally see coming? is there a particular friendship parallel between the addicted characters & like us characters that you didnt intentially intend to happen?

Ella

what are both of yours favorite friendships in the addicted series & like us series?

Ella

what are the main differences between the two friendship groups as a whole? like what clearly sets them apart?

Lucia

Which friendships group from each or just one generation is: - The most chaotic? - The best problem solvers? - The gossip lovers? - The most competitive? - The most intelligent? - The most ambitious? - The ones who fight the most? - The most athletic? - The most outgoing?

Sarah

Are there any incredibly tight sister bonds that would be similar to Rose and Lily, if there are, what are the similarities? Is Charlie and Beckett's relationship really similar to how their parents act, considering how similar they are to their parents? Or do they have a totally different dynamic?

terra

Ahhh I’m so excited!! looking back at the addicted characters, which two or thee pairings are most similar to the core 8 pairings? Examples: Who would be the “hot tempered triad” of the famous ones? Which “bromance” is most like Conner/Lo? Which sister group is most like the Calloway sisters? Which two best resembles Lo/Garrison relationship of friends/father or father figure? Is there a sister bond similar to Lily/Willow of the famous ones?

Yasti

Could you talk a bit more about Charlie and Luna’s friendship? What does Charlie think about it? And since they often get compared to Connor/Lily, what do Connor/Lily think about them (Charlie and Luna)?

Yasti

Is there a Daisy/Lo type of friendship equivalent in the Like Us series?

cass (ben’s version)

if anyone, who do you think charlie and ben’s friendship mirrors? and ben and winona?

Debbie Greene

The hot tempered triad of the LU characters: Maximoff, Kinney and Charlie or... 😛

Arwen

Would you say Xander and Kinney mirror Lily and Rose’s sibling relationship? Xander has often been compared to Lily when it comes to his depression and anxiety and I think Lily has said before that she wishes he was less like her in this sense, Kinney has always idolised rose and is very protective of Xander like Rose has always been to Lily. How far do you agree with this? Does Xander and Kinney’s relationship differ from Lily and Rose’s? Do Lily and Rose see this parallel too or ever see themselves in Xander and Kinney?

Arwen

I’ve always thought Lily and Luna’s personalities were very similar and the same goes for Rose and Kinney, but whereas Lily and Rose are very close, Luna has said in “Misfits like us” that her and Kinney often clashed, and on the day of Lo’s Halloween birthday party when Kinney invited Luna up into that attic Luna was so surprised that she thought Kinney had texted the wrong person. Why is it that Kinney and Luna’s relationship is so different from Rose and Lily’s? Did something happen between Luna and Kinney in the past that caused a rift between them, or did they just never click? Will we learn more about their relationship in “Unlucky like us”? I hope they get closer in the future.

Evie N

Lily and Luna are very similar. How come Luna isn’t as close with lo? Will there relationship get better? Will they get closer again?

Shelby Keating

Which Like Us friendship would you say is most like Connor and Garrison’s bond? Same thing for Lo and Garrison’s bond?

Shelby Keating

If the Core 8 was younger again and making trouble, which 3 do you believe would best fit the dynamic of the troublemakers trio?

Shelby Keating

I’m not sure how much of their bond Connor sees- but if he’s seen enough, and since he’s very perceptive, does he see the similarities between Luna and Charlie’s relationship with his and Lily’s? Charlie’s fanfic editing mirroring Connors tutoring and both of them being skeptical of Luna+Lily’s fantastical ideas but ultimately relenting and letting them be whoever they are. I’ve always found Lily and Connor’s dynamic interesting and seeing it mirrored with Charlie and Luna has been so cool- will we get more of them in Unlucky Like Us or not much- I understand it may not be relevant to the plot.

Lucia

Do Lily and Connor know that Charlie was helping Luna with her fics?

Sioned

If you k&b got to change one friendship group/pair to someone else in the LU series who would it be and why?

Sioned

What friend group/pair would you like to be part of the most? (Like us and addicted)

Sioned

How would you say moffy and janes relationship is similar to rose and lily’s?

Sioned

If the like us characters got to switch their bestie for a day with one of the core eight who would they pick and why? (The core eight wouldn’t be their parents and they would be the same age)

Sioned

How are the girl squad similar to the core eight? What sort of activities do they enjoy that the older gen would have done?

Sioned

Who would you said are the willow and daisy of the younger gen? I feel like it could be sulli and luna? The people you pick don’t necessarily have to be the same gender as willow and daisy.

I had a lot of fun thinking about this topic! :) Note: I understand that this question might not fall within the set parameters of the prompt — so I understand if you’re unable to answer! 🤎 Tom is one of my favorite characters — and as I was brainstorming questions for this topic — I realized that his friendships don’t particularly parallel the Core 8 / other friendship groups that are featured in the “Addicted” series. It’s possible that I’m overlooking something though, so I was wondering if you see any parallels within Tom’s friendship groups & the “Addicted” friendship groups? Or do you perhaps think that his relationships parallel any characters, or groups, from any of your other series (“AE”, etc.)? Apologies for taking some liberties with the prompt! I just love getting little Tom info snippets during these podcast episodes! :) 🤎

Ella

i love daisy & connor’s friendship bc both seem to have a good understanding of each other + connor’s always heard daisy’s voice. connor has also said that daisy is really good at reading people like connor can. is there a like us friendship equivalent of connor & daisy?

❥ Cait (The Carraway’s #1 fan)

Hehe I love this! Tom’s such an interesting character to me and I always love getting bits of new info about him! One reason why I think it’s hard to find a parallel for Tom is that he’s a bit unlucky (😉) in love — his crush “doesn’t know” he exists, plus he had his crush on Farrow… I wonder if we are going to see Tom’s romance parallel any relationships of the Core 8 or if we’ll get something brand new!! 🩷🩷

Lucia

I love Tom as well!!

cass (ben’s version)

this isn’t a friend group question, but it’s something i’m curious about. since ryke shares a birthday with charlie and beckett, is their any parallel between them?

booky

We’ve seen Vada hack the Cobalts security cams , it reminded me of when Garrison had done something similar when Daisy ex-friends kept trying to contact her . Will we see Vada do something similar in the future for the like us kids ?

Yasti

So glad you brought this up, because that’s what I thought when I read that scene! :)

Kayla Reynolds

When planning the like us series, were there any parallels you were purposeful in developing or not developing? Or would you say all the similarities with the like us friendships happened organically?

Kayla Reynolds

Id love to hear your thoughts on the brother parallels between Ryke and Lo and Moffy and Xander!

Teresa

What would you ladies say the biggest difference and the biggest similarity is between Lily/Connor and Luna/Charlie?

Teresa

Iam curious what a day spent with Luna and Connor would look like to you guys and Lily/Charlie. What would they do, what would they eat and wear etc..

Shelby Keating

Is there a particular bromance in the Like Us crew that you think mimics Connor and Lo? My first thought was Banks and Akara but thats a little more complicated cause they aren’t directly involved but are also more than friends. So maybe theres a different pair you think fits similarly?

Shelby Keating

In the girls squad, are there different pairings that are closer or are they all equally close?

Sioned

How would you describe each friend group/pairing in three words?

Sioned

In an alternate world where the core 8 doesn't exist would the kids still be friends with each other? (obviously they wouldn't exactly exist without their parents buuuut just put that aside for a second. They wouldn't be related but they would go to the same school)

Sioned

If rose and connor hd the hales for kids, ryke and daisy had the cobalts for kids, lily and loren had the meadows for kids, garrison and willow had the stoke for kids and poppy and sam had the abby for kids, how would the children be different and how would it change their respective friendships?

Sioned

Who would you say is the loren and ryke and their unique relatopnship of the like us world? (If can include the bodyguards)

Sarah

So this doesn’t really fit into the topic, but I’m curious: what are you guys thinking for Beckett’s love interest as of right now. He is my favorite Cobalt brother and I’m dying for any kind of update. I have to say, I absolutely adore him with Joanna. I think Leo is cool but I don’t know how I feel about the dynamic of the three of them.

terra

I’m rereading Addicted/Calloway Sisters rn and i’m finding that in my head I picture Scott Van Wright as Scooter Braun tbh I hate them equally!

Theblues2

1.In a past podcast is was mentioned that a comparison can be made between Ryke and Connor and Ben and Charlie. Connor is proud of Ryke and even has Rykes climbing picture in his office, would Charlie and Ben ever openly celebrate each other and their achievements like Connor and Ryke do? Even if it’s just like a repost or comment on social media. 2.What is the main difference and similarities between the relationships of the two pairings?

Sioned

Who is the Loren of the like us gen?

Shelby Keating

Obviously beckett and donnelly are on the rocks right now but while they were at their closest, who would you say they were the most like? I feel like they seemed to have the closeness and openness of connor and lo (especially with the fact that donnelly knew SO much about becketts sex life lol) and donnelly did seem to idolize beckett (since hes a cobalt) in a similar way to lo with connor. But also connor and lo have the flirty bromance thing that im not sure beckett and donelly had.

Shelby Keating

My guess is Charlie. Moffy has aspects of course- but charlie has the self destructive, purposefully pissing people off thing that Lo had.

Rebekah

Which cousin duo would y’all say is most like Ryke and Loren then also Ryke and Connor?

Rebekah

In the LU series is there a Daisy+Willow girl friendship? I know Moffy and Jane of course that BFF dynamic but I’m wondering if there’s any girls other than the girl squad or actual sisters.

Lucia

Can you talk a bit about the different dynamic between Ryke and Lo and Moffy and Charlie? I feel like the intervention to Easton in ALU was a bit of a parallel to Ryke and Lo back in Addicted for now

Sarah

What is Rose’s favorite music genre, does she ever bond with anyone over this or is she the only one who loves the specific genre? Or does she not really like music at all?

R

are there any similarities between garrison and xander??? why do i feel like theyre the same person

R

what relationship would be a parallel to garrison with ryke lo or connor?

R

is there another moffy-garrison like perhaps jane-maria?

R

i want to know if theres a garrison-willow, not as love interests but with their really cool interests like video games and programming and the internet

Yasti

Is Xander and Easton's friendship comparable to any friendships within the Core 8?

booky

Vada definitely is like that

Teresa

How would you ladies describe Farrow and Donnellys friendship compared to Lo and Connors and Connor and Ryke ? Maybe a hint of what there friendship looks like in Unlucky😏

Sioned

Who in the like us series would you consider to be the connor and loren bromance?

Sioned

If each character from the core six/eight were replaced by a like us character (they wouldn’t be related to each other) who would they be and why?

Sioned

What are some big events in the addicted world that are similar to the big events in the like us world?

Sioned

Describe each friendship in the like us series and how it likens and differs from the friendships in the addicted world?

Sioned

In a hypothetical world where Connor didn’t exist and neither did ryke, who would take their places in the addicted timeline from the like us timeline? (Charlie and moffy don’t exist, just to make it a little harder for ya! 😉)

Sioned

In a world where daisy, lily, rose, willow, and poppy don’t exist who would take their places from the like us timeline into the addicted timeline? (I kind of want to make Luna and jane not exist for this but I also really want to see where you would place them!)

Sioned

What friendships/relationships in the like us series are most similar to friendships/relationships in the addicted world?

Sioned

Who in the addicted world struggles with FOMO the way Sullivan does?

Sioned

If each sister/brother got to style their respective partners who would style them most similar to the core eight if they did the same?

Sioned

Who would you say is the like us and addicted series friendship that is most similar?

Sioned

And who’s is the most dissimilar?
