User blog:Weavillain/How Do You Relate to Your Favorite Character?

Considering the the Loud family undoubtedly feature many of the fandom's favorite characters, it's no wonder that such a vast collection of characters would relate to the fans in some shape or form. Personally, I actually thought I was above that. Lori's my favorite character and at first glance, there wasn't anything that I could relate myself to besides being a bit of a phoneholic but that certainly wasn't the reason behind my admiration for her character. But after getting a chance to write for her and experience her in more episodes, I realized that Lori and I share one thing in common; we're both insecure, albeit in different ways.

"Driving Miss Hazy" revealed that Lori's terrified of not being needed. Meanwhile, I tend to feel like I can never really measure up to my friends, family, fellow fanfic writers, etc. when I compare my efforts to their own; no matter how hard I try or how much acclaim I get, I'm just no good. Now, you may think that sounds more like Lincoln, and "Making the Case" may be where you draw that inspiration from, but Lori's insecurity was written more like a long-lasting problem while Lincoln was just feeling blue and got over himself by the end of the episode.

Now, I don't really appreciate Lori that much more than I already do because of that "similarity" but it was interesting for me to realize that perhaps, subconciously, we clicked because of our vice.

Now then, LMK how your favorite character relates to you and maybe, you could explain how much of an effect those similarities have on your fondness for your favorites.
