History Recap / PeekingThroughTheFourthWallEpisode15

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: The siblings' animal nicknames are mouse (Lincoln), horse (Luan), hawk (Luna), cat (Lola), pig (Lana), rhino (Lynn), bat (Lucy), bear (Lily), pygmy marmoset (Lisa), squirrel (Lori), and... hobo (Leni).

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Briefly discussed when Lincoln wonders if the old woman in the video fell over.

--->'''Luna:''' [[Music/{{Rush}} The best prog-rock band ever?]]\\

It begins with Fic!Luna posting a new song she wrote that isn't rock like her usual songs. It's apparently her first non-rock song, though the real Luna has dabbled in other genres before. She explains to Fic!Chunk that it's a pop song and has him listen to it. He hates the song and is blunt to Fic!Luna about it. The real Louds point out that not only is Fic!Chunk being mean, but seeing as we didn't hear/read the song, we don't know what's so bad about it.

Fic!Chunk continues to claim Fic!Luna's song to be a bad idea, comparing it to a rapper who switched to nursery rhymes-- even though, as the real Luna points out, nursery rhymes are not a genre (no matter how indignant this fact makes Lily). Fic!Chunk even ''refuses to talk to Fic!Luna'' until she deletes the song.

The next day at school, Fic!Lincoln and his friends are looking at slapsticky videos. Fic!Liam suggests watching a video about an old woman, which the other boys enthusiastically agree to watch, which makes the real Lincoln curious as to what this old woman did that was so funny. The boys at the lunch table then overhear two girls being negative about Fic!Luna's song, which is apparently causing her to rapidly lose subscribers. Fic!Lincoln somehow guesses they're talking about his sister despite them not mentioning her name.

They finish watching the video, which turned out to be about an old woman fighting off a team of muggers, and the only thing funny about it was that one of them fell down. On the way home from school, Fic!Lincoln is pondering what the two heckling girls were saying.

At home, Fic!Luna makes him listen to the song (the other sisters having already heard it), but he too hates it. He reluctantly lies that he likes it to protect his sister's feelings. Then, it's revealed that all her sisters hated it too, in fact Fic!Luan even wrote a note bashing it and calling her a Luna-tic. Meanwhile, the real siblings are wondering what the big deal is-- after all, other people have dabbled in other genres. Fic!Lincoln wonders why Fic!Luna wrote a song in a different genre, and wonders what would happen if he admitted he hated it, but then decides to just go read comics in his underwear.

At breakfast the next morning, Fic!Lincoln asks Fic!Luna if she's checked her channel. Then, Fic!Leni grabs him and takes him upstairs, where the other sisters are, hiding from Fic!Luna and nicknaming her "Cringeworthy". Not only that, but Fic!Lynn is calling Fic!Lincoln a mouse again.

At the cafeteria later that day, Fic!Lincoln's friends are hating on Fic!Luna's song (and her raspy voice for some reason). Fic!Clyde says that Fic!Lori would be better at singing it, prompting Lana to tease Lori for being a bad singer. Lori claims that she's no worse of a singer than her siblings, but then Lola starts singing perfectly. Back at the table, when Fic!Lincoln admits to his lie, his friends tell him to tell Fic!Luna the truth or else she might write more bad songs.

When Fic!Lincoln arrives home, he finds Fic!Luna covered in mean writing. After she washes it off (which takes six hours!), her sisters make her sleep outside, even though it's raining. This makes her cry, and the siblings on the couch start crying too.

At breakfast, the sisters explain to Fic!Lincoln what they did. He points out that it's mean, but they believe that they had to or else she'd play it all day and night. The real Luna goes on a rant about how rock and pop are not rivals-- in fact they overlap a lot.

Fic!Lincoln reveals that he lied about liking the video, so Fic!Lori thinks of a plan. She tells her sisters (minus Fic!Luna) her plan, while making Fic!Lincoln watch TV. Specifically a show about a... dancing meerkat? That night, his sisters (again, without Fic!Luna) wake him up at one AM and drive him to a closed karate centre. Which apparently is to teach him how to tell Fic!Luna the truth.

They bring out a dummy dressed up as Luna and Fic!Lori calls Fic!Luan a horse. The real siblings wonder why these obscure animal names are being used as insults, and they decide to give themselves animal nicknames. Luna chooses a hawk, Lola a cat, Lana a pig, Lynn a rhino, Lucy a bat, Lily a bear, Lisa a pygmy marmoset[[note]]Marmosets are a type of monkey; pygmy ones are smaller than regular ones.[[/note]], Lori a squirrel, and Leni a hobo (because technically humans are animals).

Fic!Lynn tries to get Fic!Lincoln to tell the truth to Fic!Dummy!Luna but he can't bring himself to. Fic!Lori tries mimicking Fic!Luna, but it makes her cough and she does a bad job. Lola (the real one) then perfectly imitates Lana, then Lily, Aunt Ruth, and Scoots. Back in the story, Fic!Lori tries using her own voice, but it doesn't work. Fic!Lola tries bribing Fic!Lincoln with pizza. None of the attempts work, but then Fic!Lily has a plan: [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext have Fic!Lincoln think of mice!]]. And it ''works''.

They go home (while the real Louds are understandably baffled) and the next morning, Fic!Lincoln shows Fic!Luna that her amount of subscribers has dropped from a million to ''a hundred''. They begin arguing and she deletes his song and has to bunk with Fic!Lincoln because her bedding is dirty. So they go to bed. The epilogue has Fic!Chunk being "proud" of Fic!Luna for deleting her song.

** Fic!Chunk is very rude about Fic!Luna's song, refusing to talk to her until she deletes it.
** Fic!Luna's sisters shun her for writing a song they hate, make her sleep outside in the rain, and nickname her "Cringeworthy".
** Mostly averted for Fic!Lincoln, who's pretty much in-character besides the "thinking of mice thing", though he does go a bit meaner than he likely would in canon when he tells Fic!Luna the truth. He thinks that rockers can't experiment with pop and yells at her when she tries to tell him otherwise.
* AmusingInjuries: The guy on [=YouTube=] in the fanfiction hits his head on the wall, making Fic!Lincoln and his friends, who are watching the video, laugh.

** Fic!Lynn shouts, "NO!" when Fic!Lincoln calls the song awesome to Fic!Dummy!Luna.

* BigShutUp: Fic!Luna shouts, "BE QUIET!" to Fic!Mr. Grouse for commenting on her sleeping in the rain.
* BigWhat: Lincoln says, "WHAT?!" when Fic!Lily's nonsensical mouse-related plan works.
* BigYes: Fic!Rusty and Fic!Zach say, "YES!" in unison when Fic!Liam suggests watching "the video about the old woman".

* ButtMonkey: Fic!Luna really has it bad: first Fic!Chunk hates on her song and gives her the silent treatment, then everyone else hates on her song, then bullies write on her, then she's made to sleep outside in the rain.

** Luna is not happy to be reading a story by Bobbybooboobear, and Lincoln is not keen on the idea of Fic!Luna bunking with him, because of her fic self's behaviour in his other story ''Substitute Roommate''.

** When Fic!Chunk says, "Have fun getting feedback from your cringeworthy song!", Fic!Luna teasingly mimics the line behind his back.
** Luan mockingly copies Fic!Luna's sisters for wanting to "destroy [Fic!Lincoln's] empathy".

* DisproportionateRetribution: Fic!Luna's sisters make her sleep outside in the rain just for writing a bad song.
* EverybodyCries: The siblings all cry a bit when Fic!Luna is made to sleep outside.

** Many of the fanfiction characters think Fic!Luna must've stopped liking rock now that she's written a pop song.
** The fanfiction makes out like "awful" and "awesome" are the only two ways to describe Fic!Luna's song. Not "personally I don't like this but you do you" or "I don't like X, how about you do Y with it to improve it?" or anything like that.

* FoodAsBribe: Fic!Lola tries to bribe Fic!Lincoln into telling the truth by giving him pizza.
* GoToSleepEnding: Not counting the epilogue, the fanfic ends with Fic!Lincoln and Fic!Luna going to bed.

** Everyone's jaw drops after Fic!Luna loses nine million subscribers.
** Lana's jaw drops when Lola perfectly imitates him.

* LastSecondWordSwap: Fic!Lincoln nearly calls Fic!Luna's song "awful", but changes it to "awesome".
* LiteralAssKicking: Fic!Leni slaps Fic!Lincoln on the butt (she meant to slap him in the face).

* OnlySaneMan: Fic!Lincoln is the only Loud sibling to understand that it's cruel to lock Fic!Luna outside.

** Fic!Luan calls Fic!Luna a Luna-tic, then later makes "dummy" jokes when bringing out the dummy of Luna.

* SilentTreatment: Fic!Chunk refuses to speak to Fic!Luna until she deletes the "bad" song.

** Fic!Lincoln and his friends watch a video of a guy falling off a motorbike and laugh at it.

* SpeakInUnison: Fic!Rusty and Fic!Zach say, "YES!" in unison when Fic!Liam suggests watching "the video about the old woman".

* TakeOurWordForIt: We're told Fic!Luna's song is horrible, but we don't know the lyrics and the music is never described beyond it being pop. The Loud siblings critique this.

* TemptingFate: Fic!Luna thinks her pop song will get lots of positive feedback, but instead it gets lots of ''negative'' feedback and the only positive feedback it got was a lie.
* TitleDrop: The fanfic's title is said many times in the story, but the first, and showiest, instance was Fic!Chunk saying, "Have fun getting feedback from your CRINGEWORTHY song!".

** When Fic!Lincoln and his guy friends are watching funny internet videos, one is of a dog sniffing a cat's butt.
