Okay. I finally did it. I didn't want to, but I did see the tail end of this episode (I still refuse to watch the rest of the episode for personal reasons) but I decided to do it because maybe I am wrong. Maybe there was something in this scene that I was missing. Maybe it's more obvious than I am talking about.

In all fairness, I see where people are coming from when the camp who believe that Luna and Sam are dating are coming from. It's blatantly obvious that there is sexual tension between the two and I would put money down that they will be an official couple during the duration of the series. It's clear that the writers want it to happen, and they don't care how they do it and who has to fall by the wayside on the way there.

However, I think that writers wrote this episode in a way to where it was ambiguous. Again they don't say "girlfriend" or "date" (outside of one instance) and they never call this outside a "date" between the two (if it were up to me, Luna wouldn't date at that age, but I don't run the show). Because of this and the fact that the ending speeches and bits of dialogue could, I repeat could be connotated as them "wanting to find new things about each other" as friends. I personally find it really interesting when I find out new things about my friends as I think that it offers better insight to them and their personalities.

The blush is another thing that people seem to point out and I will admit that, like I said before, it's clear that Saluna is the endgame for the writers (including new head Mike Rubiner and Kevin Sullivan, anyone else I am not sure. I guess Grey DeLisle wants it because she is a huge SJW-sympathetizer and she probably was the one who wanted Jackie to be bi on Star vs. even though she never showed an interest in girls on the show prior, but I digress) and I understand that. It's probably clear that they both mutually like each other but whether it is an actual romance I am not sure. I recall one discussion at a Comic-Con like venue where a fan stated that Luna and Sam would not necessarily be a full-on couple or have a full on romance but they just mutually like being in each other's presence, which I could see because they need to be extra careful with what they show on the series. Bottom line, the blush simply means that they both mutually like each other but I would still not chalk that up as officially going out or not.

Simply put, I think the writers knew exactly what they were doing with this episode. It is clear that they want that "will-they/won't-they" or "are-they/aren't-they" tension for them. It's also Loud House's modus operandi to be diverse and accepting of everyone and I do understand that. I think it's best for all of us to just like what we like, not hurt each other, and just enjoy the show and the characters. I like Luna. I like Sam. I like the fact that Luna has a friend who shares her mutual love of music and that she has someone who she can have an outlet for it, which I think is awesome. Let's face it, nobody else in the Loud House likes music quite to her level. Ultimately, it's just a silly show and there aren't enough hours in the day to waste complaining about it.

I should also make it clear that I want this to be the last time I talk about this episode. I am sick of all the wars this episode is causing and I feel like the only way to stop it is not to fight it in the first place.

I also want to make it clear that I am not homophobic. While I am a Christian, the Bible clearly says to "honor men of all sorts" and if they were homophobic, that would be incredibly hypocritical for a religion to preach about love to teach. Some Christians do act that way, I won't deny that, but there are just as many who are as loving and accepting to LGBT people as the average non-religious person. I also have liked LGBT couples in the past, like Bubblegum and Marceline on Adventure Time, but I wouldn't shout out to the rooftops how much I love them as a couple because I just simply like their chemistry and their friendship. Simple as that.
