I support the idea of the two friend groups of Lincoln and Ronnie Anne meeting each other, which might've happened in the Hangin' at Home special, but I'm not entirely sure.
Anyway, some years ago, posts existed here promoting the idea. But whenever each one came up, this one user voiced opposition of the idea, feeling paranoid that they'd be at each other's throats, leading to another Grub Snub(Jay Pfeiffer's favorite episode and I can think of why, and how he chooses to look at each photo and moment compared to how others might). It went on a few times, but I felt annoyed and approached that one opponent asking them in their message wall if they'd ever move on from it. They told me that they had PTSD and that the fight cloud should be abolished. That's the last I see of that user since then. I think the staff kicked them off the wiki, whoever they were.
After sharing my ideas and worries on r/theloudhouse, u/LincolnAbrahamLoud told me that the idea could be about the members of Lincoln and Ronnie Anne's friend groups going through self-doubt, or something similar. Look me up on that subreddit to find the post and tell me what he said. The search results are taking too long to load at the moment.
There have been tweets recently talking about an episode of such a synopsis being known as "Two-gether as One".
Recently, there was this post revealing ideas for a story arc, similar to the Casagrandes and Road Trip arcs. Here is the idea:
Summary:
Lincoln, Clyde, Liam, Zach, Rusty & Stella are out from middle school for the spring break, so the gang can ride bikes to go to Great Lakes City to meet & hangout with their friends named Ronnie Anne, Sid, Nikki, Casey, Sameer & Laird. also Lincoln would have a bucket list of things to do for the spring break in Great Lakes City, there's gonna be an arcade, a bike & skateboard race, a mercado contest, a pool party & a karaoke party.
Episodes:
Friends vs. Friends: Welcome to the City!
Friends vs. Friends: Arcade Blast/Friends vs. Friends: Bikers & Skateboarders
Friends vs. Friends: Mercado Mayhem/Friends vs. Friends: Pool Palooza
Friends vs. Friends: Okay Karaoke (similar to "Okay Karaoke" from Big City Greens)/Friends vs. Friends: Heading Home
The "vs." in the title... And Arcade Blast could be a better version of Grub Snub. And I already told that story. Say, how much could Nickelodeon and the production team hope to make off of these episodes if they were to create them? And we must recall the ten months it would take to animate these.
Aside from Kick the Bucket List existing, this could be an improvement. And it wouldn't hurt to do bucket lists a second time, as long as there aren't too many instances of that trope being used, unlike the many uses of Tom & Jerry/Looney Tunes squash-stretch characteristics that I'm hoping the production team doesn't start using, even without permission from WBA(not that they'd need it if the tropes are in the public domain, which they might be).
I asked YouSavingGraceHere about, and he said this: "It's possible. An episode like "City Slickers" didn't give us much in the way of Lincoln really getting to know Ronnie Anne's friends, since she spent much of the episode trying to shut him up to prevent him from revealing the truth that she was never a city girl like she passed herself off to be, so there was a bit of a missed opportunity there.
One scenario I can see playing out almost immediately if something like this were to happen would be Rusty, once again, invoking his Casanova Wannabe charm and try to come onto Sid, and/or maybe even Nikki... OR, the tables could be turned, and maybe Adelaide could develop a precocious crush on him, which really weirds him out, and disrupts whatever plans the two friends groups have made. I could even relate to something like that; I remember one summer whenever my friends and I would try to get together for hang seshes, one of their little sisters kept wanting to tag along because she had a crush on me."
This idea is interesting. I remember a livestream by the Anination Podcast some years ago when they reviewed "An Udder Mess". Nate and Omid thought of an idea with Rusty, who appeared in that episode with Lincoln, Ronnie Anne, and Sid, ridiculing K-pop, causing Sid, and perhaps and Ronnie Anne as well, to be very miffed at him. Plus, there's an Instagram with Stella, without her family, appearing with the Changs(minus Becca) to celebrate Asian heritage month, with all looking at the viewers, thus breaking the fourth wall. Granted, the post is promotional material.
(And on a different subject that last sentence would lead to, compared to TheAmazingPeanuts, are any LH/CG characters besides the obvious(and Carl) even aware of their existence as cartoons? Liam broke the fourth wall at the end of "Pasture Bedtime". A screenshot of "Out of the Picture" shows Brown QT(if you know which character has always gone by that name and what she looks like in terms of appearance and attire) looking at the viewer and waving to them. Of course, there's the problem of cherry-picked consistency in regards to the seasons of the Savino era, which is another story.)
What do you guys think?
