User blog:Zman12346/My personal best to worst sibling list (Part 1)

So for some time I’ve been thinking about how I rank the sister’s in the Loud House. Which one do I personally find to be best after basically watching the entire series of episodes back to back and closely analysing each one of them. Looking at not just how the sisters of the Loud family interact with Lincoln but each other and outsiders should the Loud family happen to encounter any.

Before I begin this analysis which I’ve spent practically a century or more gathering the material and energy for, I would first like to state that I find Lincoln as a main character to be a saint. A good and likeable yet non Mary-Sue that sets a benchmark for all future protagonists. I personally believe that Lincoln as a character is good in almost every setting and that’s one of the things I love about him.

He’s far for just a straight man as a lot of fans seem to keep saying (Which I sadly do not at all agree with). He is very effective when used on his own, with his sisters or with others from outside the family ranging from the immature and coarse Ronnie-Anne, to the usually more composed and reasonable teacher Mrs Johnson. Mainly because I feel he is realistic, occasionally making mistakes but genuinely trying to make the best of his difficult situation of ten sisters, none of whom share his interests or hobbies in the slightest. “

No Such Luck” an infamous episode of the show even shows just how much he doesn’t want to upset any of his sisters so he has no time to himself, and “Sleuth or Consequences” has him taking the blame for his sisters just so they can be happy at his expense.

On his own (Which is rare with how demanding his sisters are) he uses the space to convey the inner turmoil in his mind that gets worse every day which he keeps to himself so he doesn’t upset anyone.

With his sisters, he is always there to lend a helping hand regardless of whether he will profit from such charity or not. His sisters might or might not always appreciate his help but either way he always offers help like a good brother should.

And with his friends, Lincoln copes with being a social pariah due to how the large size of his family alienate him. He can’t save energy to save the polar bears because having ten sisters isn’t something he had any say in. He’ll also never know when someone he doesn’t particularly agree with will turn out to be someone one of his sisters would welcome like a king, like Ronnie Anne in “Save the Date”. Or when one of his sisters very different from him will turn out to be someone his “Friends” will look down on, making him a laughingstock like when Lisa joined his class in “Making the Grade”. Even away from his home the impact his sisters have on him doesn’t go away completely, for better or worse (But sadly at least in my opinion often worse).

But enough of this and on to the topic at hand. A comprehensive list comparing all of Lincoln’s siblings from top to bottom according to my own views. And if you disagree with any of this I completely understand and will not judge you since you are perfectly entitled to your own thoughts.

To make this list more fun I’ve also given each sister a “Rank” based on how overall good or immoral their actions are at least to me.

 10. Luan Loud (AKA: Joker 2.0)  Rank: Devil. I’m not trying to say Luan is a complete monster or anything like that, only that when compared to the other siblings that they’ve grown a lot more than she has over the course of the show and that overall I have to find them a lot more pleasant than she is. Yes, sadly even Lynn who a lot of people dislike more than her. The problem with Luan for me isn’t that her bad jokes or even how many jokes she makes per episode. Though I will admit that “Cheater by the dozen” and “No Laughing Matter” were all very good episodes for me and in those episodes Luan made no jokes and tried to offer good and sincere emotional support instead. My main problem is that “April Fools Rules” and “Fool’s Paradise” were very bad along with “Fool me Twice”. Some of these like dropping Lana into pies she was known to be highly allergic to, and then dumping bleach all over Lucy were incredibly cruel. Even the Joker who was probably once a family guy only trying to look after his family, would probably shake his head at some of the things Luan did on April Fools.

In April Fools Rules, she played on Lincoln’s fragile emotions and used Ronnie Anne coming to the house to lure him out, forcing him to hurt himself very badly in order to avoid angering both her and his sister Lori since she depends on Ronnie Anne liking Lincoln if she wants to keep her relationship with Bobby good. She also showed no guilt at the end of any April Fools episode. Luan promised that next year’s pranks would be even more hurtful at the end of Fool’s Paradise when Lincoln’s dad probably having had enough of his daughter’s cruelty finally defected. And in “Fool me Twice” Luan was only remorseful when her family threatened to sell her props away. She wasn’t sorry that her family spent a fortune buying body doubles because they were so afraid of Luan or that she had ruined their lives by embarrassing them so badly. Lola might never have been able to attend a pageant ever again, Bobby might have kicked Lori away leaving her very unstable and Lisa might have lost a lot of respect from the universities she gave lectures in, just to name a few of the bad things Luan might have caused during “Fool me Twice.” She isn’t particularly good outside of April fools either. In “Funny Business” she would probably have left Lincoln to suffer from humiliation forever if her own reputation wasn’t at stake. She put the interests of her customers and fans before her own family’s needs. She also could have warned Lincoln about the unspoken rule in “Making the Case.”

All in all, I don’t see much hope for Joker 2.0 redeeming herself. But she should start by observing when her comedy is making others laugh and when it isn’t. Pouring bleach onto people isn’t funny and neither is giving people other horrible injuries.

 9. Lynn Loud (AKA: Princess Daisy)  Rank: Demon Lynn Jr. For her to receive her dad’s name must be a high honour and mean that he had high hopes in her from the get go. The reason Lynn is higher than Luan is because at least she would never spend a day planning malicious pranks designed to hurt and humiliate her own flesh and blood and refuse to stop when they were practically begging for mercy That said, Luan was willing to give Lincoln another chance when he earnestly confessed why he started the entire bad luck rumour (which Lynn encouraged by refusing to take her game losses well) but Lynn was not.

Lincoln is also visibly terrified of her. Throughout “Hand me Downer” he feared Lynn’s anger. She also abused his kindness in “Space Invader” by snoring loudly, tackling him down to the ground and giving him disgusting Dutch ovens even when Lincoln was nice and kind to her throughout the episode and let her share his room.

I don’t think I need to mention the bad things Lynn did in “Lynner Takes all” like shredding homework which her siblings probably worked hard on, and becoming even more aggressive when she actually lost a game.

I like to think that Lynn was at one point a much kinder and more reasonable girl when I think of the photo of her and Lincoln in the bathtub together when they were younger, and that the pressure to keep making her father happy by constantly winning despite being a girl rather than a boy was what slowly turned her less kind. But “Net Gains” does at least show that after three long seasons, she is finally beginning to realize her flaws and work on them, as well as becoming more considerate of others. Maybe Savino leaving the show won’t be all that bad after all.

 8. Lori Loud (AKA: CEO Lori)  Rank:  Satanist

Lori was ready to forgive her little bro for his mistake in “Get the Message”. She learned what it would be like living alone without her siblings in “Garage Banned” and was desperate to go back to the chaos and responsibility of being the eldest, especially if it meant little Lana could have someone to depend on when she had nightmares and needed company. So why not any higher than 3rd lowest position for the seemingly well developed and deep character of Lori Loud, oldest child in the Loud House.

Because Ronnie Anne sadly. Because she allows poor Lincoln to continue to be treated badly by Ronnie Anne just so she can keep her relationship with Bobby “Boo Boo bear” good. (This is in “Save the date”)

Read BlackMoonPaladin’s top worst episode list and you’ll understand more clearly what I mean.

I don’t think its hard to feel a little bad for Lincoln when Ronnie Anne shoves milkshakes into his clothes and gives him black eyes while calling him “Lame-O” even though he clearly doesn’t like that name. She does this for a few weeks and only then when Lincoln can really take no more does he break down. And even during his breakdown he doesn’t really say too many mean things about Ronnie Anne, mostly just that she’s not his girlfriend.

Lori completely disregards Lincoln’s point of view and instead only wants him to go with her on this date to get back with Bobby. She even threw a huge tantrum despite being the oldest and refused to let Lincoln even give his opinion.

She also doesn’t do much for the family despite being the eldest, and its shown that Lincoln in many episodes is much more progressive in helping his sisters solve their problems than Lori. Lincoln helps Lucy write poems, helps Lola prepare for Pageants, changes Lily’s diapers and convinces mom and dad to say yes to their requests in the episode “Yes man” etc and Lori doesn’t. At least not onscreen as often as Lincoln.

Why doesn’t Lori stop to wonder what Bobby has really done for her in comparison to the lifetime of good deeds her family, Lincoln inclusive have dedicated to her. And is Bobby really that nice a man when he lets his little sister Ronnie Anne go around bullying people instead of maybe trying to teach her right from wrong?

But unlike Luan and Lynn, Lori has at least consistently been improving. Just please do something about Ronnie Anne and don’t let Lincoln have to live the rest of his life as a masochist. And please don’t try to endanger others like you endangered Leni’s life like you did in “Driving Miss Hazy”. Others deserve the chances you were given Lori and you need to let your siblings have those chances.

The final thing I would say is that I hope Lori and Clyde end up together rather than Lori and Bobby. I might be in the minority here but here is why. 1. The age gap really isn’t that bad. 6 years isn’t too much especially when you consider Clyde is a very mature and sensible guy who is well ahead of his time. Also Leni and Luna are much nicer to Lincoln than Lynn and they have a bigger age gap. 2. Clyde was the one who spent his time showering Lori with gifts even after she threw them away. Its shown in “Change of heart” that Clyde gave her a toy after she lost a golf tournament, built her a snow angel and gave her cookies even though she did nothing but use them as doorstops. 3. Clyde has much more common sense than Bobby. Bobby can’t even see his little sister for who she really is. Not just Lincoln but basically the entire school is afraid of Ronnie Anne and doesn’t like her. 4. Bobby already has the responsibility of raising a big family to take care off. He doesn’t need more work than he already has. Clyde meanwhile is an only child who prays every day to be less lonely. Let Bobby be happy with his family Lori, while you go relax with Clyde and finally have some time to savour the pleasure of almost zero responsibility since Clyde will be happy to do just about all the work you ask him to.

5. Its implied in “Cheater by the dozen” that there are a lot of other girls who want Bobby more than Lori. And its also implied that Clyde will die alone if he doesn’t have Lori, since I’m sure that he’s aware that Lori is older than him and already has a boyfriend. I always had the impression that Clyde did try to find someone his age who was also single, but could never do it because he was just that fond of Lori. By being with Clyde, Lori will make both him and another girl eternally indebted to her. Bobby might be happier to if the other girl has a personality closer to his.

6. Lori clearly doesn’t like the neighbourhood Bobby lives in. A train goes past the place and disrupts the peace far too often. 7. It was common in the olden days for Kings and other important people to arrange “diplomatic marriages” to end wars. A king might marry a princess from a kingdom he was at war with to end the war. Similarly, if another kingdom told the King he was betrothed to their Princess and he refused, it could often trigger a war. And even with neither of those factors, a good marriage could help the king strengthen his ties with the other Kingdom, making them closer allies. The Louds and Mccbrides are already very close and good friends with each other. Why not make such a lovely friendship even better so that it will be as if the two families are together like one big family.

Now Clyde and Lincoln can be even closer friends too, and Clyde’s house is Lincoln and his sister’s house as well.

Since this list will go on for a while, I’ve decided to include the next parts of worst to best sibling in a separate blog which will come out later. And please, it’s fine if you disagree and thank you for reading. I really appreciate your feedback whatever it might be. But for now, goodnight and see you soon.
