User blog:AustinDR/Inspiration for "Lola Gets Nice"

I don't normally do this, but I felt I should give some insight into how I came up with the story for "Lola Gets Nice" thus far. For one, the basis of Lola having a near-death experience actually was inspired by the Hey Arnold episode "Big Bob's Crisis." In it, Big Bob Pataki has a gas attack which makes him realize that he was an awful person in life, so he tried to change his tune. Another inspiration for the fanfic came from an episode of Family Guy wherein Stewie gets into an accident that winds up sending him spiritually into Hell.

As for Demon Lucy, that idea came from Mickey's Christmas Carol in which Scrooge McDuck is made to realize how much of a miser he is. Peg Leg Pete takes the role of the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, and he actually pushes Scrooge into his open grave as fires began to erupt from the ground. Originally, Luan was going to have the role of the Grim Reaper, but since Lucy's, well Lucy as in Goth girl, I went with her instead. The skeletal hands that grab Lola were based on the ending of Drag Me to Hell, among other things. Lastly, Lola destroying Bun Bun was inspired from an art piece by JFMStudios (if I remember his username correctly). I like the guy, but seriously, why do people love bullying the Loud kids? Heck, his most recent pic has the Loud kids be under the possession of a certain triangular, one-eyed dream demon.

With that aside, this was where the general idea for "Lola Gets Nice" came from. I may explain the idea behind "Luan's Problem" as well if anyone inquires me on it.
