#logan x louise

[small-tragedies]

Logan’s eyes squinted. “For someone so small and so, so short, you carry so much bitterness in you, Louse.”

She stared at him for a long time, her expression hard to read. “Yeah, well, you’re tall and a B-I-T-C-H.”

He blinked before he asked flatly. “Are you somehow under the notion I can’t spell?”

“Noooo, Logan.” Louse exaggerated sarcastically. “Whatever gave you that idea. Guess you have a brain after all, huh, Bush.” She hissed while glaring at him with so much venom. If looks could kill, he would have probably been dead by now, Logan thought with a wry grin. God, he loved pushing her buttons; her reactions would never NOT be entertaining to watch.

I don't know why I wrote this. Sometimes I gotta let the crack demons win and write something completely stupid with no context. But also wanted to show that I'm alive, lol, and I am super excited for Louigan Week! I've been held hostage by Lisa Simpson and a demonic triangle, which is a whole other bag NOBODY should look at. 🤣

Hi! What’s a song that makes you think of your favorite character or ship from Bob’s Burgers?

@babsvibes

Lol. Well, I already told you the other day how Too Sweet by Hozier makes me think of Logan being Louise's neat whiskey in your:

But I wanna shake things up with two songs that aren't fic dependent but instead make me think of Louigan after reuniting in their 30s and getting together–one would be what they say is their song and the other is their song in private.

Usually, with rivals to lovers ships folks go straight to all the "I hate you, but I love you" tunes. Instead, I want to lean into the way that Logan and Louise are foils who, despite their differences, are actually quite alike.

So the first song is another Hozier tune... From Eden. That's the one they would tell people was their song. Both characters have a history of identifying with criminals, outlaws, etc. So the serpent in the garden is a natural.

The following section, in particular, hits the mark for me:

Babe There's something lonesome about you Something so wholesome about you Get closer to me No tired sighs, no rolling eyes, no irony No 'who cares', no vacant stares, no time for me Honey, you're familiar like my mirror years ago Idealism sits in prison, chivalry fell on its sword Innocence died screaming, honey, ask me I should know I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door

In the context of Louigan, the verse would be them each recognizing the other's hidden softer side. The pre-chorus would be a longing to cut through their facades of indifference and them expressing their insecurities about if the other really wasn't interested. Finally, the chorus in this context is the recognition of seeing themselves in one another (hence, how they recognized one another's softer sides) as well as the type of baggage they could accrue in the decades before they reunited. They're just both lying in wait to tempt the other. There wouldn't be any "other man" (like in the verse about Adam ) when they reunite, but any time someone asks how they got together, they make up a different outrageous story. Like an anthology episode.

That brings us to Louise and Logan's secret song, the one they would cuddle and canoodle to–but vehemently deny in public. Mirrors by Justin Timberlake.

I don't wanna lose you now I'm lookin' right at the other half of me The vacancy that sat in my heart Is a space that now you hold Show me how to fight for now And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy Comin' back here to you once I figured it out You were right here all along It's like you're my mirror My mirror staring back at me I couldn't get any bigger With anyone else beside me And now it's clear as this promise That we're making Two reflections into one Cause it's like you're my mirror My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me

I mean we have this girl:

A girl who knows every lyric that Boo Boo and Boys 4 Now ever sang.

And she's paired with this boy:

A boy who gets super emotional over Freaky Friday and its messages about love and acceptance.

Together, they would secretly enjoy the most poppy, peppy songs about true love and finding your other half–the person who gets that part of you that others don't understand or find too extreme for comfort. That's a kind of understanding and acceptance Louise seems to yearn for from Spiderhouse Rules, and it matches Logan's vibe from Mother Daughter Laser Razor beautifully.

I can picture the two of them cuddling to the song:

Louise: "I swear, if you ever tell anyone this is really our song, I will gut punch you!"

Logan (laughing): "Hey! I have a reputation to protect too, you know?"

Louise (snorts:) "If you say so."

Logan: "Besides, I know you're too chicken to dance to this at the wedding reception..."

Louise (warning): "Logan."

Logan: "And since when is big spoon supposed to be threatening little spoon? You're supposed to be making me feel safe and cherished."

Louise (hugging him tighter): "Fine. If the leftover pizza starts threatening you, I've got my bow and arrows in the closet."

Logan: "Thank you."

Logan and Louise meet the professional objective of maintaining focus and developing a consensual workplace relationship of mutual torment.

[transcript]

“Having a hard time, huh, Slowgan? I heard it through the water cooler. Way to keep your crap together and not overreact in front of the board. Really inspiring stuff.”

“Fuck off.”

Hi! What’s a song that makes you think of your favorite character or ship from Bob’s Burgers?

Oh, my gosh! This was buried so deep in my inbox! 😭

OOOO, 👀 Well, I certainly have some songs that remind me of a few ships!

Would anyone of you believe me if I said the song “I Will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston is a Louigan song?... Okay, I’m lying, it’s not a Louigan song; it’s a Boblin song. 😌

Okay, the real two songs by Halestorm here are songs that remind me of Louise and Logan’s relationship. “Private Parts” and “Hate It When You See Me Cry.”

I don’t care if this is cringe, but “Waiting for Superman” by Daughtry is a Zekina song hands down. 🥺💕💕💕

I’ve always loved the song “The Reason�� by Hoobastank, and honestly, the more I thought about it, it’s the perfect song for Tinimmy; it’s just a cute emotional song, and it makes me go “Aw” whenever I think about this for Tina and Jimmy Jr.

Thanks so much for the ask, Babs! This was a lot of fun to answer! 💕💕💕

Logan and Louise follow the rules of comedy. Romantic comedy, that is.

[transcript]

“Louise?”

“…”

“I’m sorry.”

“You’re a sap. And a dumbass.”

“So, you’re saying I’m a romantic.”

“No, I’m saying you cry easily. Big baby.”

“Who’s crying?”

“Shut up. There’s something in my eye.”

“So, you forgive me?”

“I don’t even like flowers.”

“I can take them back—“

“NO.”

“Okay.”

“They’re mine.”

Community garden for the prompt game!

The okra in the garden were getting tall, and their huge yellow blooms reminded Cynthia of hibiscus as though she were in a remote tropical paradise rather than just harvesting pods for cooking. A bead of sweat rolled down the back of her neck under the blazing late morning sun.

Loud squeals and giggles from the plot directly behind her broke her from her reverie. A few droplets from the spray of a garden hose splashed against Cynthia's arm as she turned to see two small girls, with their black pigtails streaming behind them, running around the path that circled their family plot... while their father chased after them with the fine spray of the garden hose.

"Logan!" Cynthia chastised. The last thing she needed was for either of her precious grandbabies to fall and get hurt or to accidentally trample somebody else's plot.

"What? It's hot. They like it!" Logan shrugged as though they hadn't had this same conversation a million times. He quickly turned his sharp blue eyes and mischievous smirk back on his daughters. "Besides, I told you if you two keep growing like beans, I'd have to water you like them!"

Lily and Amelia jumped up and down in place with their little hands thrown towards the sky as they cheered. The cooling water cascaded down around them like a waterfall, and the fine mist cast rainbows in the air as the glare from the sun caught it.

"Nice job, but you're supposed to be watering the tomatoes," came the sardonic drawl of Cynthia's daugher-in-law. Louise adjusted her pink sun hat and tossed the weeds she had been pulling into Cynthia's wheelbarrow to be added to the compost pile. Then Louise picked up her gardening shears and pointed them vaguely towards a row of Japanese Hulless Popcorn labeled Logan's Ears.

Logan bit his lower lip and, with a barely contained chuckle, began to water the tomatoes and corn.
