I would, at times, no thanks to DeviantArt algorithms suggesting images I'd rather not see from episodes, even ones like BitF, MtC, Come Sale Away, StD, NSL, Friendzy, Stall Monitor, House Flip, etc. I just want to clear my head and never have to come across them again, though I'd need to block out those images from ever appearing in my feed. Same story for Pinterest. Those episodes, plus those like The Loudest Thanksgiving and so forth, could be useful for some ideas I wrote about in DeviantArt journals like Dots to Connect. And with the imminent release of episodes like "Twas the Fight Before Christmas", revealing the Loud cousins descended from Lynn Sr.'s brother, maybe sometime after the release, the episode could be implemented into this idea, practiced by several authors countless times.
I'd imagine a dispute between parents and kids of entire families(including the Louds and Casagrandes, and maybe their friends and/or cousins) occurring like the original series, although it leads to someone being killed. Could be anyone. A random goer... A government agent... That last part could count as treason. That, and or a different event where those disputes do not happen at all, but some people in the police department, or the FBI, or even the NSA, are aware of who the Louds and Casagrandes, as well as their friends and cousins, are. They would decide, given their history, to launch investigations, leading to the recovery of footage, and likely, if it was ever archived in secret by someone, Lincoln's video of his sisters' embarrassing moments. The footage would consist of everything recorded by Lisa's cameras, perhaps traffic footage, and so forth, even footage recorded by Luan. Footage from the schools, footage from Flip's, footage recorded by Rosa, etc. What would eventually happen would be... arrest.
The FBI, having looked at the footage as well as whatever might've been recorded by orbital satellites that I heard years ago was operated by the NSA(and still might be), would arrest those families(including Lincoln and the parents), as well as others like Arturo, and underage like Girl Jordan, Chandler, etc. Keep in mind that whatever other factors the world of TLH is like ours, even the underage, and the seniors, are just as liable as adults.
A trial would be convened at D.C., in the Supreme Court Building. Yes, I know. Creative liberties. Just bear with me. Anyway, with the evidence presented and revealed, even in ways leading to Arturo testifying against Maria and Lori, even his own daughter Ronnie Anne, maybe those other former or still current elementary students, maybe the other Loud sisters, and maybe the parents, as well as countless other testimonies leading to a lengthy trial, there would be drama, which is common even in the series, as well as pre-existing Nickelodeon shows. If found guilty, I could see two outcomes.
At best, the Supreme Court could disband all the families, exile each member throughout the United States, as well as blacklist each and every one of them from their jobs, careers, hobbies, and especially their passions. The underage would be under foster care by default. On the topic of the blacklisting, the U.S. did blacklist people before. Tonya Harding from ice skating... Lucille Ball and Albert Maltz from acting and screenwriting for (alleged) associations with (suspected) Marxists... Those are the only examples I could think of. At worst, the court could sentence all of them to death, and the government could actually execute those people as a result. And I doubt they'll abolish the death penalty anytime soon. They might not consider that at all.
Whatever the case, one thing could happen, Royal Woods could be destroyed, though not by flooding, and a non-suburbian extension of Detroit could be built in place of it, this being that Royal Woods is based on Royal Oak, an IRL suburb of Detroit. Other outcomes could result from either of the two sentences. But what if found innocent?
People involved in the trial, as well as resulting riots, could be based on real-world internet users across DeviantArt and Twitter who are either for, against, or neutral to the franchise. And even within the fanbase, there is a conflict of differing opinions, verdicts, and philosophies. Regardless, this whole thing could make for an intense story that could still be written nonetheless. In what ways would you guys write the story?
