K09: Ya know, it is genuinely HILARIOUS how the artist for this completely undermines their entire premise for this by implying that what happened to Lincoln was HIS fault and that HE was the one who needed to be forgiven. Just hysterical!!!

bigboy33: From the artist himself:

At this point, someone might ask the question, "Why did you make this artwork when you know it's just going to reopen healed wounds?" Well, the answer is pretty simple. One of my favorite types of jokes is satire, which is where you discuss a real-world issue in a comedic way so that you make fun of all the problems people have with it. It's because of satire why a show like South Park has lasted as long as it has; the entire premise of the show is poking fun relevant topics so that they can make fun of the topic itself or the people involved in said topic. Anyways, one of the most important things when it comes to satire is to acknowledge the topic in question and the flaws behind it. In this case, my artwork is supposed to poke fun at anyone who unironically complains about "No Such Luck" either this year or from the past two or three years. It's around this time that people have agreed to move on from the episode and anyone who still complains about it is considered stuck in the past. I decided to poke fun at those people by having the characters in my artwork point out that they have gotten over their actions from 2017, and encourage the viewer to do the same. To explain their comments...

Lincoln brings up how he's not wearing the suit anymore, a reference to the fact the events of the episode are set in that episode alone.
In fact, back in 2017, when Chris Savino was still working on the show, he was asked whether or not there would be a follow up to this episode as to repair the damage caused, and he simply responded by telling that person to watch the next episode ("Frog Wild"), as he got all of this stuff back and everyone loves him again.
Lori and Leni talk about how brining the events up can be tiring, a reference to those having moved on from the episode growing tired of those who are still complaining.
Lynn talks about her and the others forgiving Lincoln and letting him back into their lives. Her comment of "What more do you want" is to jab at those who still feel as if the story is incomplete.
Lisa has the most obvious comment, where she tells the viewer that they need to move on from the episode, as it's been around for five years, and complaining about it is pointless because every single problem people have with it don't need to be repeated for the hundredth time.
From my experience with constantly complaining about an episode I hate, I can say that I can see myself in this situation with my least-favorite episode of the show, "Making the Case". Back then, I was infamous for not letting go of my hatred for this episode, and it wasn't until I got complaints from people I made uncomfortable that I needed to tone down my hatred. So, I managed to cool myself and made the statement that, while "Making the Case" will always be my least-favorite episode of The Loud House, I wouldn't parade around the internet talking about the same points I've made over and over again and would only talk about it when the time is right.

Whew. That was a lot of say about this artwork. Hope you like it and I hope got a good laugh out of it. To close this off, to anyone who hates "No Such Luck", I just want to say that I didn't make this to invalidate your opinion, as I can't change that. I'm just going to say that if you hate the episode, that's fine. Just don't go parading around talking about how much you hate it, because there are people who are simply just tired from hearing the same comments over and over again. My advice, only talk about it when its relevant, like when someone asks what your least-favorite episode is or when someone asks what the problems of the episode are. The last thing people want to remember about this fandom was the dark days of 2017.

K09: Yeah, my point was LYNN's comment. LINCOLN wasn't in the one in the wrong, since the entire plot started because he was burned out over being forced to support ALL of his sisters' passions and hobbies for weeks on end, so much so that he was also forced to pick and choose WHO he supported, and was only "convinced" to show up to Lynn's game because she was tapping her hand with a bat... not subtle. And then Lynn had the GALL to claim that it was Lincoln's fault for her losing because he was a Jinx, despite that having never once been a problem for any of his other sisters or any of their things EVER.

Now, if the episode had shown that the sisters and the parents KNEW he was faking being bad luck to get out of supporting them and teaching him a lesson by letting him grow lonely from his self-imposed isolation (other than Lynn who would still totally believe he was bad luck), and never going beyond just leaving him out of stuff, I would wholeheartedly agree that Lincoln was in the wrong. Lynn being a poor loser and overly superstitious is one thing, but exploiting that to get out of his responsibilities is something else entirely.

But the fact that they literally locked him out of the house, sold off all of his stuff, and fed him through THE DOGGY DOOR and boarded it so he couldn't get in on his own through it firmly plants the whole thing as being everyone else's fault, not Lincoln. The message of moving on and getting over a bad episode is something I respect and can understand, but framing it as being LINCOLN'S fault that everyone else decided to grab their idiot balls and do something borderline, if not OUTRIGHT, illegal over petty superstition is why the episode got everyone so pissed off. He never NEEDED to be forgiven since he was the wounded party in the end, not the other way around.

PolNell89: @Anonymouse: Most of the season 2 episodes were shit, anyway.

@bigboy33: The ones I never liked were "Lynner Takes All", "Room with a Feud", and mostly "Legends".

K09: I'm honestly long since passed being mad about the episode. The only thing that even remotely upsets me about it anymore are when people say it was Lincoln's fault. It wasn't.

Fuck_Slayerduck_and_Mr_K: animationfan15 is a retarded fuck for defending this shit!
And Chris Savino plus the Nickelodeon staff have proven to be pathetic hacks with that crappy copout excuse since "Frog Wild" makes no real reference to "No Such Luck" at all.
And the fact that shows like South Park and The Simpsons etc. have to revolve their shows around real world events instead of just trying to craft a good story (like the Galaxy Rangers etc.) shows what a bunch of pathetic jokes they are, and that they should have been cancelled years ago. Remember, quality >>> quantity.
The smart thing for the Nick writers to do is to do a follow-up to "No Such Luck", but since Nick writers are retards compared to Bruce Timm, the whining will continue.

Fuck_Slayerduck_and_Mr_K: Pop-Pop: "Then I guess you sluts don't want fuckies from me anymore."

Loud sisters: "WE'RE SORRY, LINCOLN! DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO US! WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET US BACK ON YOUR GOOD SIDE!"

Lincoln: (sinister grin)

bigboy33: @PolNell89 I am not the artist, I'm just posting his comment from DeviantArt page.https://www.deviantart.com/animationfan15 While it was smart for him to disable the viewer comments, I still think it would be better if it SHOWS that Lincoln no longer wearing the suit anymore.

I did left a personal message saying that the problem with why people still bring up NSL (As tiring as it is) is that the moments are too close to home for real life people who dealt with similar abuse

I am NOT accusing the artist and to the extent, the sisters (and Lincoln's) of dismissing real life victims of abuse . I just want to give my two cents WHY people will never let go. Things are easier said than done and sometimes people hold on until they die.

K09: @bigboy33: I can get that. To me, the encouragement for people to move on from the episode is a good one, and I'm honestly impressed the author was able to touch the subject at all considering how huge of a hot-button it is. I just think they made a mistake by implying that it was ultimately Lincoln's fault.
