Threads of Identity as Lori Loud
2 Points
The day had begun like any other. As you scrolled through your phone, desperately trying to banish the morning grogginess with a jolt of digital stimulation, a sudden rush of dizziness washed over you. The sensation was peculiar, intense, almost as if the world itself were tipping sideways. Before you could process it, darkness enveloped you, and then... clarity snapped back like a rubber band.
Your eyes fluttered open, and your surroundings had shifted impossibly. Multicolored walls decorated with family portraits greeted you. Pushing the fog out of your mind, you tried to sit up but a feeling of heaviness, yet unfamiliar lightness, struck you. Something was off—your skin tingled, and your clothes no longer felt familiar. Glancing down, your breath hitched at the sight of a light blue tank top and brown cargo shorts. What in the world...?
Standing up, you felt noticeably taller, yet also oddly off-balance. The room around you seemed brighter, more vivid. Walking over to a mirror—all too aware of the faint clacking of blue-gray slip-on shoes against the hardwood floor—you gripped the edge of the dresser as your reflection came into view. A girl with long, luxurious blonde hair stared back, light blue eyeshadow accentuating her eyes. No... it wasn't just any girl. It was Lori L. Loud.
A terrified gasp escaped your mouth, sounding wrong in the higher pitch of Lori's voice. Fingertips—your fingertips—traced the impossibly real reflection. Panic surged.
"No, this can't be real. What is happening to me?"
As if on cue, your mind felt an invasive pressure. Memories not your own began to trickle in: a large, bustling house with countless siblings, a precious cell phone with countless messages from Bobby, the Love Boat... You tried to push these alien memories away, but they flooded your consciousness relentlessly.
"This is so not happening. I've got to find a way out of this... something, anything!"
You stumbled down the hall, heart racing, trying to make sense of this disturbing transformation. Familiar scenes from "The Loud House" cartoon came to life, as your new senses absorbed every detail of the chaotic household. Siblings darted past, their voices a cacophony of noise.
"Lori, where's my skateboard?" shouted a little bundle of energy... Lana, wasn't it? No, no, it can't be!
A high-pitched voice—yours—responded instinctively, "I don't have it, Lana! And for the love of all that's good, stop yelling!"
The sheer normalcy of the interaction felt unnerving. This wasn't you. Or was it? No, you had to fight it. You dug deep, recalling your own fading memories, trying to cement them.
But it was futile—your reflection in the hallway mirror already looked smugly back at you with Lori's bravado. People touched your possessions without asking. Your cell phone pinged endlessly with messages from Bobby, and you couldn't bear the thought of wasting precious memory on anything else. You wanted to scream at anyone who dared to invade your personal space.
"Hey, Lori, can I borrow your hairbrush?" Leni asked, already reaching out to grab it.
"Don't touch my stuff without asking!" you snapped, snatching the brush from her hand. A moment of disbelief passed as you processed what you'd just done. Lori’s instincts overshadowed yours in a fierce dominance battle you were losing.
Leni pouted. "Geez, sorry, Lori. Chill out."
Another rush of Lori's thoughts and feelings collided within you. Despite her protectiveness, there was an undeniable affection for Leni, and the overwhelming sensation that you had messed up again niggled at your conscience. You wanted to apologize but a more immediate thought took over—did it matter? Should you even try? The memory of being anyone but Lori seemed whimsy now, like a distant dream.
A mischievous laugh alerted you to another sibling, Lincoln this time. "Hey, Lori, you up for some mini-golf later?"
The love for golf surfaced, battling against the diminishing remnants of your former self. This was how life was supposed to be, right?
"Sure, Linky, just don't scream if you lose," you heard yourself say.
Was it resignation or acceptance that followed? The internal struggle grew weaker as Lori's life enveloped yours. Bobby's texts brought comfort. Bossing around the younger siblings seemed natural. Your old self felt like a distant echo, drowned in the vibrant world of the Loud family.
One last effort to cling to your original identity surfaced: the thought that none of this was real. It was a daydream, a trick. But even that seemed silly in the face of colorful, chaotic reality around you. Memories of scenes from the cartoon flitted away like smoke.
You... no, Lori Loud, had always been here. This was home. The feeling of losing your approval was the true fear.
With finality, you—Lori—pressed send on a text to Bobby, heart fluttering.
"I miss you, Boo-Boo Bear."
And just like that, any trace of your past identity evaporated, labeled as a strange daydream. How silly to dwell on it. You were Lori Loud, and life with your siblings was exactly as it should be.

AI Prompts
Prompt: Write a POV transformation story of the adult male human reader turning into Lori L. Loud from the Loud House animated series, complete with gender change (the reader becoming female), clothes change, age change (age regression if the reader is older than Lori herself), height change, reality change (the reader's real world becoming the world of Loud House), and mind/mental change (with the reader's personality and memories being completely replaced with Lori's personality and memories, despite the reader's best efforts on fighting them off, making her completely forget her past male self, which she realized was not real and was only a strange daydream, and she only remembers that she was and always had been a girl named Lori Loud). For Lori Loud's appearance (after the reader turned into her), she is a 17 or 18 year old girl who is the tallest among all her siblings (around 6 feet in height). She has large blonde hair (a genetic trait she shares with her mother, even though Lori's hair is slightly longer). She wears a light blue tank top (which was later revealed to be the top of her mother's old girdle shirt), brown cargo shorts, blue-gray slip-on shoes, and light blue eyeshadow. For Lori's personality, she is bossy and she has a bad temper. As such, Lori tends to come off as somewhat rude and condescending towards those not familiar with her; but, aside from that, she is friendly and kind. By Season 3, Lori's bad temper seems to have gone down but occasionally, she still gets moody. She does not like the others touching her possessions, especially her cell phone, which seems to be her most valuable object. The reason for this is that she does not want to waste her phone memory for messages other than the ones from Bobby. She is also very territorial as she loudly yells at anyone who goes into her room without permission before kicking them out. She is also shown to be protective, as she locks her room with a key and electronic keypad lock. In some occasions she acts without thinking and commits malicious actions against the others for her own selfish benefits, such as trying to stop Leni from learning to drive so that she can remain the only Loud kid with a license, but since her love for her family always comes before any petty problem, she has a caring heart underneath a rough exterior, and she will always try to fix her mistakes. Deep down, Lori is insecure; it is shown that while she gets annoyed and easily agitated by a lot of people, she feels lonely without the people she loves and cares about (such as Bobby and her family) and her worst fear is in fact, losing their approval. Some examples include being lonely when sleeping in the garage away from her siblings and bursting out crying after being dumped by Bobby. Lori, much like her father and paternal grandfather, is very emotional and cries easily. She will often cry if she is lonely or has simply had a bad day. She also appears to have inherited Lynn Sr.'s clumsiness along with Leni and Lincoln. Despite being insecure, Lori is very reliable and a good leader. Before she left for college, she was the only one who could competently take charge without chaos ensuing. Even when Leni is left in charge, she will call Lori if she requires assistance. Lori also has an interest in golf and is a very skilled player, though nervousness can impede her ability to play golf. Part of the reason she attended Fairway University was because of their emphasis on golf. Despite this, she is not very interested in other sports. Like Leni, Lori has an interest in fashion, though unlike Leni, she doesn't make clothes. Leni often turns to Lori for fashion advice; and, when Lori and Leni roomed together, they would often borrow one another's clothes without permission, causing many squabbles between the two. Lori is a romantic; she plans very elaborate dates with Bobby and talks very affectionately towards him. She also enjoys giving her siblings love advice and watching romance shows such as The Dream Boat. If she suspects that one of her siblings has a crush, she will get very excited. She seems to also have an interest in nutrition. Her siblings complain about her going on "health kicks", which seem to be mainly focused on food; and, she enthuses about her bean chips being low-calorie and high-fiber. There should also be quotes from the characters in this story so we know what they're saying and what they're thinking. Also, it is a POV reader story, so it should not be in an author's point of view (my, I, mine, etc), and it should be from the point of view of the reader (you, your, etc).
