History YMMV / WhatIsAPersonWorth

** Lincoln's deconstruction of Luan's pranks in "Fool's Paradise" is very unnerving, especially since he says outright that it was lucky that Lana's [[PlotAllergy allergy to rhubarb]] is a mild one (and even then he was freaked out by the swelling that resulted, even calling it the worst he had ever seen on her) and that the prank Rita fell for would have killed Lily. And even without him pointing out all the ways it could have gone wrong and Luan's imagination running away with her, the fact that she intended to ''[[TarAndFeathers tar and feather]] him is ''very'' disturbing.

*** In the same chapter, while it doesn't get dwelt on for long, it's clear all of the Loud girls are worried about Lynn's self-hate. It's also clear that they desperately want their brother back and to [[MustMakeAmends to make amends]].

** A subverted example with the Louds. While their treatment of Lincoln in the first three chapters is inexcusable and horrible, they get a major wake up call in the fifth chapter. It's clear from that point that they are remorseful and seek to better themselves. Even Lynn's wishing Lincoln was never born during their outburst, she immediately regrets it when she calms down and beats herself up about it, and how the blame for all this mess can be traced back to her.

** Lynn gets a particular sharp dose of this trope when she finally admits in Chapter 9 that the whole mess is her fault because she decided to call Lincoln a jinx instead of accepting the loss in stride and breaks down on Pop-pop's shoulder. Then chapter 13 features her being outright terrified of her little brother (something a few readers have smugly called LaserGuidedKarma considering how rough she is with him even at the best of times in canon), who treats her with a calm indifference to her clear heartbreak, and TheReveal that she's stopped taking care of herself out of guilt, to the clear worry of her parents and several of her sisters.

* CharacterDevelopment: Several characters in the story go through their own form of growth and development as the story progresses.
** Lincoln: At the beginning of the story, Lincoln started out as an ExtremeDoormat for his family as he was constantly forced by them to wear the squirrel suit for its supposed good luck, no matter how much he didn't want to, and any attempt he made to dissuade them out their superstitious beliefs always failed. But the story proves that there is only so much abuse Lincoln is willing to take and lashes out at his family for their selfishness, disrespect towards him and utter disregard for his feelings. Sure it took him having to reach his RageBreakingPoint after finding out his parents lied to him about what really happened to his furniture, but it still proved to be the key motivator Lincoln needed to stand his ground and make it clear to his family he's not going to put up with them treating him like an object instead of a person any longer. And if they fail to comply with his demands, then he won't hesitate [[spoiler: a second time]] to rat them out to the police for the crime they committed. Lincoln's newfound assertiveness proves to be effective as evident when Lola AND Lynn (the two sisters who usually use threats of physical violents to have their way with Lincoln) become more cautious around him to avoid angering him further, and not even Rita and Lynn Sr dare to ignore his demands of not making him come back home to avoid bringing the attention of police.

** Rather surprisingly, minor antagonist Conner Pingrey has a cute bonding moment with his CoolBigSis Carol in Chapter 14. They play videogames together and he asks her advice in a roundabout way as he seems to be having some second thoughts about helping Chandler.

** A more straight example being how vicious Chandler and his friends are [[spoiler: with bullying Lincoln, ultimatley going as far as to attack physically Lana, a six year old girl, when she tried to stick up for Lincoln. It makes the following beatdown very much warranted.]]

*** {{Downplayed|Trope}} from chapters 4 and 5 onwards. [[spoiler: After Lincoln gives them a much needed TheReasonYouSuckSpeech and runs away after his fight with Lynn, they start to realize how bad they have behaved. Rita even wonders if she's a bad mother because [[RealityEnsues parenting boys, regardless of personality, is different from parenting girls and the methods she used on her daughters fell flat with her son]].]]

* AwesomenessWithdrawal: The update schedule is ''really'' erratic, and some readers have started getting impatient with the long waits. Of course, it should be noted that the author is also still working on ''Fanfic/{{Syngenesophobia}}'', which is just as long as this story.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: A downplayed example; even though the fanfic is based on a Lincoln TorturePorn and practically requires the audience to watch him being constantly treated unfairly and sometimes beaten up (which, to be fair, you'd need to be able to do to watch the show sometimes anyway), the whole point of the fic is to have Lincoln finally stand up for himself after having to repeatedly deal with his family's behavior towards him as well as getting the rest of the family to realize that turning someone into their DesignatedMonkey is going to have consequences.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: What else do you expect from a fanfic based on a Lincoln TorturePorn? Unless you can stomach him being constantly treated unfairly and sometimes beaten up (which, to be fair, you'd need to be able to do to watch the show sometimes anyway), you might as well avoid this fic. Even ''Fanfic/{{Syngenesophobia}}'', which is about Lincoln getting hospitalized after his sisters gave him a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown, manages to avert this trope.
** Downplayed, however, as the whole point of the fic is to have Lincoln finally stand up for himself after having to constantly deal with his family's behavior towards him as well as getting the rest of the family to realize that turning someone into their DesignatedMonkey is going to have consequences.

** The Loud family sans Lincoln and perhaps Lily, on the grounds that she's only a baby. Despite of all the crap they treated Lincoln, they were none too proud of themselves after experiencing a JerkassRealization. Not to mention that Lincoln refuses to go anywhere near ''any'' of them if he can help it and has outright stated [[spoiler: he intends to get the police involved, possibly permanently ''destroying'' the family, if they don't leave him alone]] and Mr. Grouse has expressed similar opinions.

** Admit it, when Ronnie Anne yelled at Lola to apologize to Lincoln, you were cheering in delight.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Lincoln gives his family an ultimatum. Either they somehow try to convince him to give them another chance to be a better family and drop the superstitious beliefs they've been obsessing over lately, or he completely cuts all ties with them and has the police arrest his parents, the older sisters sent to juvie, and the younger sisters put into foster care, destroying the family forever. Evidently, they don't take it well.

* HarsherInHindsight: The appearance of Mr. Santiago, a decent man who appears to be a good father in this AU, becomes this when "[[TheLoudHouseS2E10FedUpShellShocked Shell Shocked]]" revealed that Bobby and Ronnie's father is canonically out of the picture [[note]]Although the chapter he appears in wasn't posted until after the episode aired, it was still being written ''before'' "Shell Shocked" premiered[[/note]].

* {{Narm}}: The various monologues throughout the story are supposed to be serious, [[NarmCharm and they are for the most part]], but the monologuing can still feel a little forced and melodramatic particularly because of how lengthy they tend to be and don't really sound like things you'd expect young kids and teens to say in such a setting.

* NightmareFuel: The narration doesn't shy away from showing how violent the fights can be when the fighters are really pissed off. After reaching his RageBreakingPoint, like with Lynn in chapter 4 or [[spoiler:Chandler]] in chapter 10, Lincoln basically becomes an 11-years-old version of TheUnfettered. And the injuries he intended to give to Lynn, and those he actually gave to [[spoiler:Chandler]], are rather severe compared to what an average kid can do. Even a 6-years-old like Lana can be scary when she gets mad. In chapter 8, in a fit of mad rage, she nearly ''strangled'' her twin sister after the latter struck a personal nerve by saying that Lana would not have cared if Lincoln got eaten by the gator that attacked him earlier in the story, something that gave Lana nightmares.

** Lynn gets a particular sharp dose of this trope when she finally admits in Chapter 9 that the whole mess is her fault because she decided to call Lincoln a jinx instead of accepting the loss in stride and breaks down on Pop-pop's shoulder. Then chapter 13 features her being outright terrified of her little brother (something a few readers have smugly called LaserGuidedKarma considering how rough she is with him even at the best of times in canon) and TheReveal that she's stopped taking care of herself out of guilt, to the clear worry of her parents and several of her sisters.

** A more strait example being how vicious Chandler and his friends are with bullying Lincoln, ultimatley going as far as to attack physically Lana, a six year old girl, when she tried to stick up for Lincoln. It makes the following beatdown veery much warranted.

** Between treating their son like a mere good luck charm, continuously hurting him even after things cleared up, and showing more concern towards the suit rather than Lincoln when he was ''attack by a damn alligator'', it's pretty clear The Louds crossed this. The matter is ''when'' they crossed it.
** A personal betrayal of trust, however, comes in chapter 3, where it's revealed the parents actually ''lied'' about Lincoln's stuff having been sold away. [[spoiler: He finds it burnt in a dumpster.]]
** In chapter 4, Lynn crosses it when she claims that she never loved Lincoln, wanted a sister instead of a brother, and wishes he was never born. A little muddled by the fact that she said it without thinking during a moment of anger (and after getting into a vicious fight with Lincoln). The narration does note that she feels guilt once her anger diminishes. She has a MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment in chapter 5. Though, whether or not her remorse is too little, too late for Lincoln is yet to decide.

* JerkassWoobie: The Loud family sans Lincoln and perhaps Lily, on the grounds that she's only a baby. Despite of all the crap they treated Lincoln, they were none too proud of themselves after experiencing a JerkassRealization. Not to mention that Lincoln refuses to go anywhere near ''any'' of them if he can help it and has outright stated [[spoiler: he intends to get the police involved, possibly permanently ''destroying'' the family, if they don't leave him alone]] and Mr. Grouse has expressed similar opinions.

* {{Narm}}: A lot of the heartwarming and tearjerking monologues throughout the story feel a little forced and melodramatic.

* AwesomenessWithdrawal: The update schedule is ''really'' inconsistent, and some readers have started getting impatient with the long waits. Of course, it should be noted that the author is also still working on ''Fanfic/{{Syngenesophobia}}'', which is just as long as this story.

* NeverLiveItDown: Ironically, even though the later chapters involve the Louds doing the hardest to earn Lincoln's forgiveness and [[spoiler: Albert convincing his grandson about why he should forgive them]], some readers see them [[ThisIsUnforgivable beyond forgiveness]], and wishes [[PayEvilUntoEvil bad things would happen upon them]].

** Chandler as well. In the canon-series, he was just a jerk who used Lincoln to get free food and tokens from the Arcade in return for inviting Lincoln and Clyde to his party. In this story, he is turned into a BarbaricBully who takes great delight in mocking and tormenting Lincoln about his situation, [[spoiler:and even physically bullies 6-year-old Lana in chapter 10]].
