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!

In honor of Ryke and Daisy now being in bookstores, what is your favorite or "most memorable" Raisy moment from the series?

Weekly Recap

Happy Friday, magical & super heroic beauties! Becca is BACK!!! I could kiss the ground I'm so happy. It's the first time she's ever been on a "no call" list for me, and I was STRUGGLING not to contact her. I missed her so much. Like who was I going to discuss all things Luna and Donnelly with? 😩 Frodo (our cat) was really learning a lot about Lunnelly last week 😂

This week has been super jampacked in things outside of Patreon. Hothouse Flower released in bookstores on Tuesday 🎉 and Addicted to You celebrated it's 10th Anniversary on Wednesday 🎉🎉Plus, we revealed our brand new website for our signed store AND the super special anniversay box for Addicted to You. Big thanks to our mom for coordinating the box (and convincing us to do it!), Nasha at Nasha Lama Designs for designing the gorgeous new website, and Haley Secen for designing the travel mug, sticker, bookmark, and enamel pin in the box. We've never put together a box before, so this was a big team effort!! 💗 For those who order it, thank you sooo much and we hope you all enjoy it. It truly was a labor of love.

Behind the scenes, we've been editing, writing, and designing this week. It's been a multi-tasking kind of week as we work on books and Patreon things. We've been writing bonus scenes for Patreon and we're working on teasers for Teaser Tuesdays 😉 So even though it's been a quieter week on Patreon, a lot is coming!!

Rachel Parsons

Omg I’m so excited!!!!!! But my all time favorite moment has to be their first kiss! I mean it was just perfect for them.

Haley Secen

AH YES I’ve been dying for more bonuses from the Misfits timeline!! And yayayay I’m so ready for all the ULU teasers 🥳 how are we already so close to a month away??

Andrea

Welcome back Becca!! Just in time for our Unlucky Era. I’m so excited for them 😭 Love all the Raisy moments, but the time they go bungee jumping lives rent free in my head 🖤

E

I just had a brain wave about the similarities in Lo and rose relationship and moffy and Charlie’s.— like how rose always hated that people in the family favoured Lo over her when ,to her he didn’t do anything to gain it but she tried so hard and was so smart and not even that he was favoured just that even tho he wasn’t as smart or whatever as her it didn’t matter cause they didn’t rlly care and how Charlie feels the same about Moffy just naturally being the family’s favorite (even tho moffy is much more involved and did more to earn that title than Lo probably did when him and rose were younger) but Charlie feels it’s unfair just like rose felt.

Dani P

Welcome back Becca!! Also, random question: what is Thatcher & Banks' grandma's full name?

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Still at the top of our fav "first kisses" we've ever written! EDIT: I also feel like Moffy & Farrow's would be up there, and this has me wanting to add this category to the Fizzies Awards if they're not on there yet lol 😂

cass (ben’s version)

the dinner after sulli’s swim meet and when they find out they’re gonna have winona! i love moments where we get to see them as parents and seeing their growth. i’ve been visiting my dad in georgia and just barely missed you guys at the cumberland barnes and noble! i’m on my way home today and was just there yesterday. so sad, but i managed to get a copy of hothouse flower on hold. have a happy release week y’all! 🫶🫶 PS : i hope y’all enjoyed my seating chart!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Omg I know! I can't believe ULU's release is sooooo close!! We're SO READY to start the teases!! Krista already made the graphic for the first one, and it's so pretty 🥹

G

Welcome back Becca! Do you guys have a rough date for the new covers for the circus is family series?

Sarah

I think I have two that are just the most memorable. One is their shared bachelor and bachelorette party and the other is when they are all watching the picture slide show at their wedding rehearsal dinner, they get to a Halloween picture and the Calloway sisters are dressed as characters from Clue.

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Thank you, Andrea!! 🥰 Missed interacting with everyone here! And awww the bungee jumping moment, my Raisy heart! I love that one!

Sascha

Sosososo excited for it to be officially Lunnelly season 💜💜💜 Cannot wait for all the content we have coming up 🫶🫶

Krista & Becca Ritchie

I love this deeper insight! It might be the first we've heard about a Charlie/Rose vs Moffy/Loren relationship parallel and we can definitely see some similarities there too, and interesting enough, Loren and Rose ended up professionally working together in a workspace, and Moffy and Charlie have had work entanglements too with H.M.C. Philanthropies ~ B

Kayla Reynolds

Hooray for hothouse flower!! I will forever be obsessed with this book. But my favorite all time Raisy moment is in long way down when Daisy and Ryke found out they were pregnant! It made me so emotional (but in the best way hehe)

terra

The most memorable and impactful moment of Rasiy for me was when Daisy was standing on the bridge at the end of Hothouse Flower. Ryke knew where she was both physically and mentally. He knew that she went to a dark and dangerous place. He then went to her got on her level and is basically like if you’re going there I am too. you’re not alone in this anymore. I personally found so much comfort in that! They have fun and cute and sexy moments together but they are also both are willing to go into the trenches both physically (like the riot) and mentally to not rescue them but to be there with and help the other while they rescue themself. Daisy did this with Ryke too when he lost Sully, she didn’t try to rescue him from the grief she just got down with him and wouldn’t let him do it alone.

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Carol Piscitelli! She's actually inspired by our grandma, who was very short and loved brandy, playing cards, and dancing, just like the Moretti fam. She would also hold your cheeks and say the phrase, "Be happy" and write it in birthday cards. When we were writing Tangled Like Us, she was actually helping us with some of the Italian-American slang (we know some but we also wanted to know what she remembered hearing growing up too), and she was super excited to have her life be sprinkled in the book, so it was awesome to be able to talk to her more about her life. It's one of the greatest gifts Tangled Like Us and the Moretti family gave us because she passed away right before the book was supposed to release. Piscitelli is also a family name (our great grandma was Carmela Piscitelli), but when they immigrated to America, their name ended up changing to Fish. Also sorry for the lengthy response to a simple question 😂 It's not every day that someone asks us about Thatcher & Banks' grandma!!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Ah that's awesome that you got it on hold, yayyy!! There were only three copies left, so we're so happy you were able to call ahead! We'll be back there a lot for new releases 💕

Krista & Becca Ritchie

OMG wait seating chart? GASP okay Krista said something about this but I haven't seen it yet *runs to go see* (I'm assuming it's on an old Fizz Hangout that I missed?) ~ B

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Thanks so much, Grace! We've talked about possibly revealing them after Nobody Like Us. Right now, that's what we we're leaning towards, but sometimes we get so excited that we can't wait, so if we find an earlier time to do it, we might ☺️

E

I didn’t even put that together either, Lo and rose also seem like they hate each other but obviously they both care about and respect each other , the same can be said (thankfully) for moffy and Charlie after the first few books in the like us series , i think their relationships are very similar also in how rose and lo dads were best friends and so are moffy and Charlie’s ( I also see This as a correlation between Lo and moffy as the friendship between the fathers in both cases is a huge factor in why they are the ‘family favourite’. Ps.Sorry I probably have realised all this already but I’m after finding a connection between them and now my head won’t stop seeing more connections. I just love all your books so much and am loving finding these Easter eggs <3.

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Omg I love how you described their relationship so, so much. I couldn't have articulated it any better. That's also a lot how I feel about them too 💛💚 ~ B

Arrow

When Ryke runs with Daisy to the hospital in Paris! I’m one for heart-wrenching scenes.

Krista & Becca Ritchie

I HAVE RETURNED! I wish you could see how big my smile was watching that video. It was absolutely AMAZING! I’m also obsessed how you had the visual of the actual car!! Hale car is super spot on! If we were to write a scene with the lake house, we would imagine that most of the time, Xander and Kinney are getting there with Lily driving and Lo in the passenger. Lily is notoriously the better driver between her and Lo since the dawn of the Addicted series, purely bc she grew up being his DD (sober driver). Love the part where you say that if Daisy drove, Winona would encourage her to speed and she would do it! So cute and so true lol 😂 We could also see Sulli riding in the middle seat with her feet kicked up on the middle console (or cross-legged) in the Thatcher car (but is this as realistic since the tallest dudes are in the car… maybe not unless it’s a super spacious vehicle lol and Sulli having major FOMO, she def would ride in the Raisy car sometimes and with her hubbies other times so she felt like she was everywhere at once 😂). Thinking about this, it’s honestly making us want to write more bonuses with the Jane, Sulli, and their husbands! We haven’t written enough with the five of them alone together, and that group would be so much fun. This just made my whole day! Thank you so much for creating this!! I loveeeed hearing you talk about the characters so, so much 🥰 ~ B

Sioned

It’s for sure got to be their wedding and when ryke runs with daisy to the hospital! I cried reading both (not that I didn’t in any other scenes 👀) I also think the moment ryke climbed for the first time again was pretty moving. Gosh I have so many but when they all went to winona with nona, that got me in my feels 🥰🫠

Sioned

What would you say is yours? I’m interested to see how they differ, especially since you both wrote the book together :)

Ellieeeee

Super excited for all the Lunelly teaserssssss 🥰💜💚

cass (ben’s version)

thank you so much!!! i put so much careful thought into this that it makes me so happy you guys watched a it and thought about it. i’d LOVE to ride in the raisy car, personally lol. i’d also love to read more about jane, sulli, and their husbands! that bond would be so amazing. thank y’all again, it means the world to me that you watched it. i wish you all the love in every universe 🫶

Amy Sutter

When Ryke scream confesses to Lo during the big confrontation on their roadtrip about how in love he's been with Daisy despite everything.

Angelina (Charlies version) ♟️

Their wedding, running her to the hospital when daisy gave birth to sulli and ryke was holding and talking to her while daisy slept and said no one would put out her spark, at Christmas theyre in a sleigh I think and daisy hopes that no one will smite them for their love and hopes to have a minnie meadows I could definitely go on 😂😂 IM SO EXCITED FOR ALL THE TEASERS THOUGH

Sioned

I really like knowing the backstory to each character you create! It would be lovely to have a podcast on that and what people or situations in life made you create characters that way! Your grandma sounds like a real gem :)

Brianna

I know its not Friday and this has nothing to do with the question but like I see Audrey’s future relationship to be just like Amy Santiago and Jake Peralta

Syrah

Are you guys going to restock the special edition of Misfits Like Us on your website? I really want to order but it’s always sold out by the time I go online 😭

Ivy H

An underrated scene I love in Addicted After All is during the Hale charity event where Ryke tells Daisy to self sabotage her chances at CEO and be wild and you can see the genuine understanding between the two. Ryke just has utter adoration for her and I loved seeing that from Lo’s perspective. Also she’s wearing Ryke’s name on her ass as she cartwheels away lol

Krista & Becca Ritchie

I'll have to ask Krista about her fav Raisy moment! Whenever I think of a favorite, I start with one scene and then it spirals into me listing out a million different ones 😂 (I just love them so much!) Top favs include: their first kiss, the riot/Ryke running, the cornfield chapter in HF, Costa Rica bonus, them as parents in the epilogue of SKOP, and every chapter surrounding Sulli's birth in LWD. Also, the red rock "fight" scene between Lo & Ryke is one of my all-time fav things we've ever written, which is in HF. Hothouse Flower has a lot of my fav moments in general in it!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We might not have another restock until closer to the end of July. We won't be able to sign many orders until after Unlucky Like Us releases (we're looking at two deadlines at once right now with ULU + Dishonestly Yours content edits due at the same time), but we're still hoping to have another opportunity for you all to get character notes in Misfits Like Us, particularly the Special Edition since those have just come in. And we just made new character notes for those ones *tosses confetti every which way*

Syrah

Ok!!! I’m so excited for unlucky like us!! July could not come quicker :)

Sarah

Has nothing to do with the question but I always laugh when Daisy talks about how she relates to Rapunzel but as for the question, the stairway scene and the wedding.

Michelle

The stairwell for me.

just a girl who loves lilo

Requesting an idea for a bonus scene: can we plus get some Lo, Willow, and Ryke moments. I LOVE the bad reputation duet but I feel like there wasn’t enough of willows new sibling connections after leaving her toxic sister. Like when Willow was shy in front of Ryke and couldn’t talk to him but they was nothing said about how they got pasted that point. I need the small in between moments between the original hale siblings. Or even Willow moments with Jonathan. Willows my favorite the most relatable to me 🥺 please with a cherry on top of chocolate cake. More Willow moments with her brothers and dad 🤞🏽😫🙏🏽 Side note: I predict and will manifest that Audrey ends up with Quinn. I can feeel it.

Sioned

whaaaa, what makes you think tha, i need to know your theorise! I always thought she would end up with easton or a new character. Also i feel like gabe and quinn might possibly end up in a polly relationship with frog... I'm not sure. not that i want or don't want the polly but i would like more books and if they had separate relationships that would mean more ;)

just a girl who loves lilo

I can definitely see frog and gabe together! The thing is Audrey likes men. She likes older and mature. And I feel like if the like us series continues with clients and bodyguards than Quinn would be the youngest on the team to match the youngest in the family but also old enough for what Audrey wants in a guy. Or her book can totally shock us and do a 360 and she ends up with a guy her age , I’m way too excited to read her book

Sioned

oooh i see where you're coming from. For some reason i thought he was MUCH older than her but it's only 7yrs and that isnt much considering all the other age gaps in the krista&becca universe :)
