Take out the drywall of the whole span from a stud that isn’t in your way at the beginning of your run to a stud after your run. Reframe the area with a “beam”. Use the first stud that isn’t in your way as a king, put a jack stud next to it, cut material out of the two studs you want to go “through” to the height of your jack stud plus the width of the beam (5 1/2, 7 1/4, feel free to overdo it), place another jack next to the far king stud. Double or triple (depending on wall thickness) up a 2x6 or 2x8 for your beam that will rest on your jack studs.
Basically like you were putting in a window or door. Just a normal header.

As an English teacher, I can totally read and understand what you are describing and how/why it solves the problem.
As an English teacher, I'm also smart enough to know when to call someone like you to come and do the job for me! ;)
