This is a blog post series where I discuss my thoughts on the Loud House Siblings. Welcome to Episode 9: Thoughts on Lori Loud. Why not start the New Year with my thoughts on the oldest Loud sister? Let’s get into it.

Now Lori is one of my favorites, but she wasn’t my favorite from the first. Let’s go back to when the show first started. Along with Lola, Lori also had the misfortune of being labeled as a “mean sister” because of one bad episode called Get the Message. In Get the Message, I’m not going to lie she was unlikeable in that episode of how mean she was to Linc for plots sake. Now the “get out of my room” scene was so infamous it got overused in fanfics where Lori is a villain. Seriously, let it go, but it has been gone for a while in fanfics. Save the Date is another bad one that comes to mind, now that isn’t as bad as Get the Message as Lori wasn’t mean for the entire episode unlike Get the Message and she was a lot less infuriating in Save the Date as a certain somebody was worse in that episode than Lori. Lori throws a fit because Bobby broke up with her because of Linc and forces to Linc to a double date. But there were better episodes after those like Waiting Game. In that episode, Lori thanks Lincoln and actually is nice to him about it and even is generous to him which is nice. So Linc uses her kindness to impress Chandler and that fails, but because Lori gave away so much free stuff she can’t go the prom which was the biggest reason she got the job in the first place. Linc feeling bad fills in for her and Lori actually comes and hugs Linc and thanks him and even apologizes he can’t go to Chandler’s Party so that shows appreciation for what Linc did. But there’s more. In No Guts, No Glori, the siblings get sick of her being so strict they tie her up because Linc came up with the plan. The siblings go crazy without an authority figure to keep them in line, Linc realizes why Lori was so strict and tries to stop them, but fails and gets Lori to boss them around again. Now she does kind of agree in the end to tone down her strictness by saying, “You can’t say no all the time” and we get another good moment between the oldest and Linc. In Driving Ms. Hazy has Lori do something very wrong where she sabotages Leni’s driving test so her siblings would do her stuff and because she feels if Leni gets her driving license she’ll feel like nobody needs her. This shows insecurity, and Linc talks some sense into her that Leni could get hurt or die (it’s a car, so the risk is high) and go to get her. Leni fails, and unlike the first two I talked about, Lori does redeem herself by trying to help Leni drive as she did sabotage her own sisters driving test and did apologize. A Fair to Remember, she lose Bobby to Lincoln and tries to get him back and fails and Linc notices this and tells Bobby to go with Lori to make her happy and she does thank Linc in the end. Because of those episodes I liked her and she was #6 on my list until Season 2 boosted her up even more. In Party Down, she tries to set up a sophisticated party for her friends and kicks her siblings out as she wants her party to go the way she wants, in the end all of her friends leave and she gets sad over it. Linc offers her to their party and she agrees and she has fun with her siblings and her friends find out and return and this was just a great heartwarming episode that made her my favorite. Garage Banned, she gets tired of her siblings needing her all the time so she moves into the garage to be alone. She gets lonely and starts to miss her siblings and tries to leave the garage and it fails. She later has Mr. Grouse destroy the garage, but that plan backfired. Her siblings find out and she tells the truth and they forgive her in a sibling hug. Only thing I relate to Lori is that I’m on my phone sometimes. Her literally statements aren’t annoying unless you hear a compilation of them. Makes sense she take being the oldest seriously as she doesn’t have much as her boyfriend and her phone show Lori’s character, but not that much. Lori was an overhated character, but now thanks to these many, many episode she’s becoming better the eyes of the fandom and I hope it keeps going. She may be bossy, but she has a heart. She is currently ranked 4th on my sibling list as my 4th favorite.
