YMMV / It's a Kid's World

• Complete Monster: These two villains faced by the younger Loud siblings showcase how much Darker and Edgier this Series Fic is:
  • Lord Viribus poses as Boris Durvil, the last living adult. It is revealed that Viribus, along with David, were the ones behind the "big vanish" to eliminate all adults so there would only be defenseless children behind. Viribus then plans to lead an army of robots and zombies to kill off all the remaining humans and place the strongest people into robot bodies to rebirth the world into a brand-new species of humans. Attempting to undermine any efforts to reverse this, when Lisa Loud finds out about this plan, Viribus kidnaps her and plans to use her as insurance. Viribus begins his "human harvest" by massacring an entire village full of people and converting the rest into zombie slaves. These children are subjected to excruciating pain while unable to do anything. Viribus also had a failsafe in place, so that if his plans failed, the attempt to bring the adults back would send out one final shockwave that would wipe out everyone on Earth, including himself. When Viribus found out about David's betrayal, he took him away to be tortured for information, which later killed him. Viribus later kills one of Ronnie Anne's tigers and nearly kills Lola, and then converts the tiger into one of his slaves.
  • Chester Bundy appears to be a normal kid who wants to help others at first, but later reveals himself to be a brutal sadist who enjoys Cold-Blooded Torture. Chester disagrees with how many people they are letting into their society, so he grabs a kid and slowly and painfully tortures him until finally executing him by crucifixion. Chester also now plans to expand their society even further, showing no care about the possibility of many people dying from this. When Chester is dismissed twice, he convinces his followers to overthrow the committee, which he does with little effort. Chester quickly takes over the other side of Royal Woods, not caring about the casualties. When Chester finds out that Lincoln and the Morticians Guard are planning to overthrow him, he captures them. Chester while talking to Lincoln implies that he murdered his sisters and family. Chester would brutally torture Lincoln before crucifying him, to set an example. Chester tells Lucy what he did to her brother before torturing her by cutting out one of her eyes. When several prisoners try to escape, Chester decides to kill them all, believing that he hasn't given them enough punishment.
• Moral Event Horizon: As the story gets progressively Darker and Edgier, this happens quite a few times.
  • Chester Bundy is introduced as a shady but seemingly well-meaning character,until he begins bullying children to get out of town and torturing people when he doesn't like them being there. Finally, after overthrowing Chandler and attacking a whole other faction out of ruthlessness, he takes this trope up to eleven by torturing and killing Lincoln in the season three finale.
  • Carl is taken in by a young mafia crime boss Don Morito in the early chapters of the story and gradually works his way up their ranks. While killing him could be considered this trope (although this is debatable since he acted in self-defence and the other boy was an evil self-serving criminal), he really succumbs to this trope when he steals leadership of the mafia from Don's innocent younger brother Dickie, slaughters an entire group of rebel biker girls, refuses to live up to his promise and let his brothers out of their imprisonment, and even rejects Ronnie Anne and Lincoln's proposal to fight Viribus and his army together and leaves them to die. Fortunately, he does slightly redeem himself by the end of the story. However, he still receives a punishment for all his immoral actions and doesn't get off scott free when all is said and done.
  • Lisa's friend and fellow science prodigy David crosses the line when he ruthlessly reveals to Lisa that he never really loved her and he was working for Viribus to distract her form undoing their plans the whole time. He then works with Viribus to kill all the remaining children and convert the remaining good ones into robotic servants. Much like the Carl example, however, he does eventually see the error of his ways and reform, although in this case Redemption Equals Death or as good as here.
• Nightmare Fuel:
  • Crashed cars, buses and vans were seen all around her from every direction. Fires and smoke began to engulf the surrounding area. Inside a few of those cars were crying babies or little children. There were a few small children on the sidewalk, as well. Seemingly abandoned by their parental figures, though those who had figured it out knew the real reason for their isolation.
  • The concept of the zombies and child-converted robots is this. Special mention goes to David's body horror when he is found in late season four by the Loud siblings after he was taken away for betraying Viribus.
  • Chester torturing the innocent kids just so he can reduce populations.
• Tear Jerker: This story is full of them. Whether it be the aftermath of The Big Vanish itself and the kids missing all the adults that are gone, or Luna's sad departure at the end of the first season, as well as her heartbreaking rejection of Sam's proposal earlier. It only gets worse from there. Both Lincoln and Lynn suffer a lot of mental trauma and insecurity during the story, Lisa is crushingly betrayed by her allies David and Boris Durvil/Lord Viribus on her birthday, Ronnie Anne's friends are imprisoned and she is forced to run away to find more allies elsewhere, Lynn's friend Maxie dies in a fight with a giant teenage brute leaving her all alone and miserable, Lincoln himself is crucified by Chester Bundy (he gets better), Lola is also seemingly killed by Viribus later on (she turns out to be fine, too) which greatly upsets her twin sister, and even after the world is saved and the adults have returned, the events of the final battle leave Lynn as a crippled mess. Needless to say, there are plenty of these moments scattered throughout the story.
• X Meets Y: The Loud House meets Gone (given that the 'Big Vanish' in the first chapter entails the same consequence of all the adults disappearing and leaving the children behind, only on a massive scale) meets Game of Thrones (the author has stated that this story is loosely based on the events of the show, and there is a lot of different individuals and factions struggling for power).
