Could you tell us the hair + eye colour of each of the like us kids? I know it's stated for some of them (like Moffy, Janie, the twins, the Meadows sisters and Xander), but could you tell us the other ones? It's a lot easier to have them all together when making edits haha

***SPOILERS for SOME KIND OF PERFECT***

We can list out some of the eye & hair colors that are mentioned within the Addicted series (i.e. in the 10 novels, including Some Kind of Perfect) but you’ll have more details in the Like Us series :) 

Jane: blue eyes, brown hair 

Maximoff: green eyes, dark brown hair

Charlie: yellow-green eyes, brown hair 

Beckett: yellow-green eyes, wavy brown hair (slightly darker than Charlie’s) 

Sullivan: brown hair 

Luna: light brown hair, amber eyes 

Tom: golden brown hair 

Ben: blue eyes 

Xander: expressive, bold amber eyes 

We’ll try to update this list with more details from Some Kind of Perfect and also the Like Us series after Damaged Like Us releases.

How did you decide on the character birthdays? Are you going to add the birthdays of the children as well? And also what are their Chinese zodiac signs?

We decided on their birthdays based on their ages and when they would be in school. Some were very random and others were purposeful. We’ll be able to share the kid’s birthdays after AAA. 

Chinese Zodiac: 

Connor: (January 3rd, 1989) -  Dragon

Rose: (August 5th, 1989) - Snake

Ryke: (September 19th, 1989) - Snake

Loren: (October 31st, 1990) - Horse

Lily: (August 1st, 1991) - Goat

Daisy: (February 20th, 1996) - Rat

*note that Lily and Loren are in the same grade even though they’re one year apart in age. Explanation here. 

**note that Connor is in a grade above Ryke and Rose since he was born at the beginning of the year.

“Across the open stair, Amren’s face had gone paler than usual, her silver eyes glowing bright. “I never saw the Cauldron,” she said, “but it must be terrible indeed if even a grain of its power feels… like this.”  I really wanted to draw Feyre and Amren together, and this scene in the book was really awesome to me. The two of them are such badasses. ♥♥

Rhysand’s throne in the Court of Nightmares! (Unfortunately not filled with our High Lord and badass heroine, but I wanted to draw the darn chair, okay? :P) It’s really uncomfortable looking on purpose. I feel like the Court of Nightmares is so nasty and stiff, the throne had to imitate that idea. Velaris is so comfy and cozy, so I bet everything in the Court of Nightmares is unnecessarily pointy and impractical. I like to imagine Rhys was always complaining about it to whoever’d listen after a visit there. (And trying to bum backrubs off of Mor when he got back.)

The title “Wings and Ruin” gave me some ideas…

*LONG WAY DOWN SPOILER*Would the Calloway sisters/their husbands have resented Sulli if Daisy did end up dying while giving birth?

They would’ve loved Sulli and shared the same response as Ryke – which he mentions what his feelings would’ve been in Long Way Down if this scenario had happened. So we’ll quote Ryke’s response from Long Way Down: 

“I finally talk, my voice low and raw. ‘I’ll never love you any fucking less…whatever happens—she wouldn’t want that.’ My throat tightens. ‘Even if…’ I can’t fucking say it. Even if it’s just you and me.”

relatable text posts?

I'm so glad tom isn't going to be the only lgbt character!! Thank you girls so much, this honestly brought tears to my eyes that the like us series is going to be more diverse. (Ps if Sulli is a lesbian that would be amazing but obvs you guys have already written it so I'm v grateful that at least one more character will be lgbt even if it's not Sulli) xx

We’re so happy that you’re happy! It was always a plan of ours to include more LGBT+ characters. Besides Tom, there are 2 more Addicted kids in the Like Us series that identify as LGBT+. The reason why we didn’t reveal more in Some Kind of Perfect was because we knew that these 2 characters wouldn’t personally reach this understanding at their ages within SKOP timeline like Tom does.

That being said, we’re going to reveal the 2 other characters here. Their sexualities are not a plot device. So it doesn’t affect the story if you know the characters’ sexualities beforehand. 

Maximoff Hale is bisexual. Kinney Hale is a lesbian. 

We hear that Sulli headcanon that you suggested a lot – and just because Sullivan Meadows is heterosexual, it doesn’t mean that you can’t still headcanon her as a lesbian. We also encourage fan fiction :) But canon, in the Like Us series, she is straight.

BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW BILL CLINTON MOUTHES “THAT’S MY GIRL” CAN WE FUCKING TALK ABOUT THAT. 

[timgy]

Listen, I voted for her, but in my heart I don’t know that I’ve had many moments of truly liking or admiring her. But this moment? This poise? This complete self-control (in a situation where sexist men would expect her to be falling apart)? I have never been prouder or more admiring of someone. I agree, Bill. That’s our girl.

Addicted Series: Character Takeover! Post 5 of 5

This character takeover from 4-4-14 was first published on a blogger’s Facebook page. Since then, it has been deleted off their FB, so we’re reposting it here!! *tosses confetti!!* Note: 5 posts were un-salvageable and have been lost in the inter-webs forever, but we managed to find 5 of the 10!

The Takeover reads like BONUS MATERIAL set around Christmas – after Hothouse Flower but before Addicted After All. The Addicted gang are being filmed and interviewed. This is what happens…

Reporter: That’s it for tonight. Thank you all for coming out and answering the questions.

Lily: *holds up a hand* I’m not down with my balls…my meatballs! *eyes widen*

Lo: Keep eating, love. No rush.

Ryke: *leaning back in the booth* Yeah, we’re gonna have to wait fifteen fucking minutes at least. There are still mobs of people outside the back door.

Daisy: It’s okay. I’m not done either…*digs her fork back into a piece of chocolate cake*

Connor: *turns to the camera* While my friends ignore this part, I’ll do the honors of thanking our hosts.

Rose: *butts in* I can do it too.

Connor: *smiles and motions towards the cameras* By all means…

Rose: *straightens up* We’d like to thank the ladies and James of Give Me Books for having us on their Facebook page today. I apologize for Ryke’s cursing and Loren’s attitude. He was dropped on the head as a baby, while not scientifically proven, I think we can all attest that we have 24 years of proof. *smiles*

Loren: What a bitchy “thank you.” *looks to Connor* I can’t believe you let her do it, man.

Connor: It was far more entertaining than mine.

Rose: *smile widens in accomplishment*

Reporters: *start gathering their things and turning off the cameras*

(right before the last camera turns off – they capture footage of Lily)

Lily: This ball is fantastic. Anyone want to try it?

The Takeover reads like BONUS MATERIAL set around Christmas – after Hothouse Flower but before Addicted After All. The Addicted gang are being filmed and interviewed. This is what happens…

(As a reminder, the Addicted gang’s publicists have asked them not to answer anything that will be revealed in Thrive.)

Reporter: A fan asked Ryke and Daisy, “Do you two live together or are you still living in separate apartments?”

Daisy: *turns to Ryke* There’s this six-foot-three, really attractive guy in my bed every night. Is that you? *smiles bright*

Ryke: Can’t remember my face, Calloway?

Daisy: Only your cock.

Ryke: *glances at the camera* We’re fucked.

Loren: *still at the table with everyone else* Exactly what I said.

Connor: You said it’d be impossible, not that they’d be fucked.

Loren: Thanks for correcting me, love. *to camera* He keeps me smart.  

Rose: Is it annoying anyone else that they haven’t answered the fucking question?

Ryke: Don’t get so fucking hostile, Rose.

Loren: Christ on a fucking cracker, Rose.

Rose: You two are so obnoxious when you team up against me.

Daisy: *interjects and waves at fans* We do live together with my sisters and Connor and Lo. But we share a room.

Rose: And their room is disgusting.

Loren: Truth.

Rose: *looks shocked* You agree with me?

Loren: Thought I’d take a spin around hell for a while. Where’s your thrown and your hooved minions?

Connor: *whispers in Rose’s ear while her eyes flash hot*

Daisy: We aren’t that messy.

Ryke: No, we’re fucking messy, sweetheart.

Lily: *nods* I tried to find my Marvel snuggie I loaned Daisy, and I couldn’t see it beneath the piles of clothes and it smelled like… *blushes*

Ryke: Don’t fucking say it.

Loren: Sex. *flashes smile*

Rose: How many times do you two wash your sheets?

Ryke: Come on, we rarely fucking do it on the bed. *glances at camera and groans* Fuck me.

Daisy: *smiles and rests her head on his arm*
