While Louise is enacting her revenge against Cynthia, Logan catches her in the act. Logan is not only on board with her scheme, but dares Louise to go on a date with him to ensure his silence. Louise and Logan have reconnected over the years in their own menacing way due to a shared love of skateboarding, they’ve even bonded a bit, but Logan’s dislike of his mother has only continued to grow. And why is Logan so invested in helping Louise. Or is he?

Day 2 of 14 of bob Burgers Valentine cards
This one is for @babsvibes hope you enjoy it!
I love this whole entire thread and the conversation it's brought up. I think there are a lot of layers to this. I also dislike the whole concept of Rudy or Logan being "the other guy" or Louise only being seen as having the option between either Logan or Rudy. Why does it have to be one or the other, especially when neither Rudy or Logan have anything to do with each other.
I see Roudise as more of a Louise and Rudy dating in high school, but remaining good friends after the fact and Logan and Louise getting together in adulthood after years of growing up as people and having a lot of reflection and life experience. So, completely unrelated.
I also feel like the possibility of Rudy x Jessica or Louise x Jessica exists way more than people write or think about. (I could day way more about that, but it would be digressing and I want to get to the meat of what I really want to talk about.)
I don't ship Chloe and Rudy, but I have a theory as to why their dynamic is more desirable to a lot of people, just as some find Louigan's dynamic more palatable than Roudise in many cases:
Louise and Rudy are good friends, but Rudy is a sensible kid who isn't given to taking much risk and likes to be in his comfort zone. Louise is very chaotic, unpredictable, and does some very immature things sometimes. While Chloe can be mean and bratty, she comes off as mature, put together, and consistent - something that someone like Rudy would see as desirable traits, at least surface level. Rudy could be good for Chloe if she decides she's open to not being as selfish, by being a good influence on her.
Louise and Logan are both chaotic, a bit selfish, and think very much alike. It's a battle of constantly one-upping each other. They are fairly well matched, or will be when they are older. This is not to excuse or forget Logan's horrible behavior or his bullying of the Belcher siblings,
Louise and Rudy have a solid friendship, but romantically they run the risk of Louise pushing Rudy into being someone he's not by forcing him into all her schemes or trying to get him to become more adventurous. There is likely a point where Rudy would outgrow Louise romantically, she may not be able to give him what he needs as far as stability and same for her in terms of someone who can keep up with her. That or she'll kill poor Rudy by giving him like 5 heart attacks before he reaches 30. Rudy and Louise could work well if they can compromise and communicate, but that requires a lot of growing up on Louise's part.
I'm also bringing up Louigan and Roudise dynamics to highlight how different both ships are, just to hit home how much they have nothing to do with each other and how there would be no reason for Logan and Rudy to play "good guy, bad guy" with each other.
Also, Louise would hate boys fighting over her.
Do you know what I find the funniest thing? In Louigan fics, Rudy is often portrayed as the 'bad guy' or ex and in Roudise fics Logan is portrayed as the 'bad guy' or villain.
When in reality, we all know these boys would have nothing to do with each other! Even Louise would make sure of that. If Louise was with Logan I don't think he would ever hate Rudy or see him as a threat. And if it was the opposite, Rudy wouldn't certainly ever start anything with him.
A lot of the time it's mischaracterisation, and also the fact that we are writing about over-the-top characters that are like 9 and fictional. But it does make me laugh cause' I see it all the time.
Also random question:
If anyone out there does ship Chloe and Rudy, I just want to know why? Like genuinely! No hate! I really do want to know!
From the brilliant mind of you-know-who. You know who 🙄
@babsvibes Thank you for the comm, I hope you're happy making a fool out of your baby girl again
I can't contain or adequately describe my love of this piece. It's sacred.
Cigarettes & Beer
Listened to my silly 2am music and got all the vibes (so I... drew louigan?)
growing pains
It’s only been nine years. They’re not in their thirties yet—and won’t be for a while—but it’s worth noting that things are different. Maybe it’s them, maybe it’s the boardwalk, or maybe—well. Logan is a different person than when he was a high schooler. He’s less assured than he was. That could be it. Louise is almost certainly different than she was then, but even now she still hates his guts. Maybe some things don’t change after all.
Notes Transcription
Main Episode Outfit Variations
Louise would be into layering, I think. She’s multifaceted, practical, and resourceful. Harsh structure in conjunction with more layered pieces; tendency towards color blocking, but she keeps it sharp. She’d be into casual, pragmatic clothes. If not very structured, she has loose-fitting, draped fabrics like sweatshirts or heavy pants (cargo material, corduroy, denim?)—draped and bulked, but not baggy. Something easy to run and move in; sneakers or combat boots.
Not opposed to dresses. Keeps it compact, simple lines. No frills but does lean into triangle shapes or rectangular blocks. Color blocking => neutrals will take up negative space, highlight colors are accented.
Sticks to main colors (green and pink) for consistency, but relies on neutrals like beige, black, and brown. Less cool-toned than Tina, either spring or autumn coloring. Bright colors are muted with exception of a highlight, usually pink (hat or laces). Green varies from lime to olive to sage to forest, etc. whichever tone is appropriate.
Occasional purple or blue in reference to the snowball fight/sled episode with Logan (he was in blue, Louise was in purple). Louise could lean into purple (imposing, mysterious, feminine but still intimidating) for off-episodes. Not frequent, though; too similar to Tina’s color palette.
Hairstyle options include braids, pigtails, or just loose. I’m growing partial to braids; they feel utilitarian, almost boyish, useful. Could emulate the bunny ears under the cap.
Beanie vs. Baseball Cap. I like the beanie, but to me it lends to this aspect of laziness? Not the worst, but i like the structure and sharpness of the baseball cap. Also obscures the eyes occasionally, or could be worn backwards.
Timeline + Basis
Loosely, 9 years post-canon timeline (ambiguous). Louise is 18, Logan is 25. The age gap is too big for them to feasibly be in high school together, so the second storyboard shot by the lockers is him visiting the high school for some errand (maybe Cynthia needs him to deliver something, maybe he’s got a younger sibling by now?), Louise passes by him in the hallway and doesn’t move to accommodate him (almost slams into his shoulder) and he almost looks back at her but continues on. He recognizes her when he visits the diner, which he later frequents because it’s one of the closest places in town that has good food that’s affordable and keeps him out of the house.
That’s one of the reasons, anyway. He isn’t conscious of it, although Gene picks up on it early on an often gloats to either Louise or Logan, both of whom are baffled or irritated at first. Linda is overly supportive of the idea to the point of humiliation, Bob doesn’t want to think about it and refuses to see it, and Tina writes extremely detailed romance novel drafts about it.
Logan becomes ‘aware’ in the following year, then feels really gross about it and avoids the diner for months until confronted (member of the family is up for debate). Realistically, nothing ‘tangible’ happens between them for three years (kiss? Weird face touch? Jealous outburst? Freudian slip? Something fun, idk [Louise: 22, Logan 29]).
I think Louise regresses at this point, and tries to distance herself like that episode of iCarly when Sam realizes she’s in love with Freddy and literally institutionalizes herself in a mental ward. Very much LALALALALALALALALA I can’t hear you, that didn’t happen. Logan is not feeling great at this point. Heart-to-heart with Bob snaps her out of it.
One more year of slow burn, actual relationship starts (Louise: 23, Logan 30).
Logan gets married, eventually, in his early thirties. Gene is an unintentional omnipresent narrator.
Additional Notes
Keep Logan in primary colors (mostly red or blue), but keep him out of dark neutrals/monotones (no black or charcoal gray), because it’s too heavy of a countermeasure against Louise’s color blocking—too unbalanced.
Decent height difference, although it varies depending on Louise’s shoes (sneakers or platform boots, she’s usually in sneakers in the restaurant). She’s right over his shoulder (?)
Concept comparison of them both around the ages 14-16 are for comparison only. Their ages do not coincide.
Occasional pet names, always mockingly derogatory.
Montage shots of her leaning over the counter while they talk. He used to sit in the booth seats but eventually began sitting at the counter instead. No reason. It means he can talk to her more easily and bother her with less effort.
They’re the kind of couple who publicly argues over the pronunciation of ‘egg’ type beat. Bickering keeps it exciting for them, but they make it a point to apologize in any serious disagreements, usually by the end of the episode. Similar difficulty in admitting when they’re wrong, often attempt to compromise by sharing/taking on blame in some equal capacity. Sometimes this is healthy, sometimes it’s more de-facto.
Mother-in-law beef goes crazy
Guess who's been re-reading Louigan fics
it's me, I'm who
Some louigan fanart inspired by @babsvibes's iconic "Territorial Swisspute" cuz it's iconic
prohibition louigan..
I imagine the context behind it is planning a heist or something...
I'm actually really into how this turned out!!
Hi! What’s a song that makes you think of your favorite character or ship from Bob’s Burgers?
It’s me out here living my scurried, scared trash panda life, but thank you for asking this question! I’m glad I saw it! “Be Your Boy” by Medium Build makes me think of grown-up Gene x Sasha Whiteman. “I Really Fucked It Up” by girli is a song that makes me think of Louise, but it also reminds me of adult Louigan, especially because I picture them as a couple that would fight a lot when they first get together
