User blog:AustinDR/Luna's Future

I'll start this blog by saying that I am proud of The Loud House and its creators. This show has given me nothing but joy ever since I first became a fan of the show. While some episodes are bad, there are still a surplus of good episodes to balance out the bad. I just love how the show reflects on modern times; if I were to tell you that the show would introduce a same-sex couple into the ensemble of characters, you'd think me absurd. But they did just that with Howard and Harold McBride. What's so refreshing is that the other characters treat them as a normal couple, and never hold any animosity for them because of their orientation. That's just the half of it; they introduce a young boy with Down's syndrome, and now, they had made one of the main characters a bisexual. My jaw dropped when I first saw it on screen; I replayed that scene to make sure I wasn't mistaken, and after I had enough time to digest it, my screams of joy nearly erupted from my mouth. I personally feel that they did a great job with revealing Luna's sexuality, which was hinted at a few times in previous episodes. I am one for LGBT representation; it's not to say that I absolutely love it whenever a show introduces gay, lesbian, and transgender characters, but I always feel that they are role models for the community. With Luna, I can see her inspiring several people with similar sexual orientations to express their feelings, even if it means that they aren't accepted. Because of this show, Grey Griffin herself mentioned that her son got the strength to come out to his class after seeing the McBride family, and he was accepted even by the girl who had a crush on him. This show is simply amazing, and I am hoping for more growth.

With Luna, I am absolutely happy by her revelation as a bisexual, because I called it from the beginning, and was proven correct. However, while I am glad about this, I feel that there needs to be more depth to it. As the show barely has any continuity, it is highly possible that this wouldn't be referenced again. However, supposedly the show is supposed to get more serious in the third season when it comes, so maybe they will expand it more. For one, we hardly know anything about Sam; Luna never brings up anyone named Sam in the other episodes. How I see that this could've worked more is if Luna had referenced this "Sam" person in the other episodes and then save the reveal for this episode. That, and I will state that we don't know anything about Sam. How would we know if Sam reciprocates her feelings? Sure, she smiled at the letter while reading it, but that doesn't immediately mean that she knew it was from Luna. While I don't want to be "that guy," I feel that this could go down in two scenarios: in one, Luna goes to Sam to confess how she felt about her, and the feelings are mutual. In a slightly more realistic outcome, I feel that Sam would reject her if she didn't swing that way. If the latter is true, I can see several different takes on how this all goes down. Maybe Luna gets upset and secludes herself in her room, stopping her music. From there, maybe she comes out to her siblings (if they don't already know), and then to her parents. How the parents will respond....uh, I am holding out that they'd be supportive of their daughter as they seem to have no ill will toward the McBride family, but I don't really hear that many coming out stories ending well. Hey, maybe if this doesn't work, Luna could talk to the McBride family for advice; they'd probably share their difficulties being a same-sex couple. Other than that, I need more information on Sam. Maybe how Luna began to develop a crush on her, perhaps.

Overall, I don't want this revelation to just be a gimmick; at the least, make it to where it's not a big deal. Delve into it further. All in all, I don't really care if you're gay, straight or anything of that sort. As long as you're not harming anyone, I see nothing wrong with it.
