* InnocentlyInsensitive: Mitchy doesn't take Monty the snake away from Darcy despite the latter's fear, and he's chastised for not being "sensitive" enough. However, he wasn't intending to be mean; he was just confused as to why Darcy was afraid even after he told her that Monty was harmless.
* LaymansTerms:
** Lisa describes her invention as a "travel-sized miniaturization apparatus: street name, 'shrink ray'".

* OriginalCharacter: The story makes up several of Lisa's classmates, including a girl named Sasha and a boy named Mitchy, plus Mitchy's pet snake, Monty.

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12222281/1/Irrational-Fear Irrational Fear]]'' is a fanfiction of ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' by the same guy who wrote ''Fanfic/PeekingThroughTheFourthWall'' and ''Fanfic/ShrinkinLincoln''.
It is about Lincoln finding out that Lisa is afraid of storms while trying to find her for help with his homework.
Lisa is embarrassed about being afraid of storms because she knows that there is nothing to be afraid of but is afraid of them anyway, so Lincoln reassures her that irrational fears are normal.
!! ''Irrational Fear'' provides examples of
* AbsenteeActor: Every Loud is mentioned, at least in passing, except for Leni.
* BigNo: Lisa shouts, "NO!" when Lincoln first suggests they go upstairs.
* DelayedReaction: Luan suggests asking Lisa's roommate where she is and it takes a few seconds for Lincoln to realise that it's a joke and Lisa's roommate is one-year-old Lily.
* EmbarrassmentPlot: The fic is about Lisa being embarrassed that despite her ChildProdigy status, she's afraid of storms.
* FearOfThunder: The whole plot is about Lisa being afraid of thunder, and it seems like Lily is too because Rita and Lynn Sr. had given her earmuffs so she wouldn't be spooked by the storm).
* HurtComfortFic: Downplayed. The fic certainly is about Lincoln comforting Lisa, but she's not hurt, just scared.
* NotSoAboveItAll: When Lisa sucks her thumb, Lincoln remarks that she's "more of a toddler than she lets on".
* NotSoStoic: Lisa is normally TheStoic, but in this fic, her fear of storms causes her to hide, give a nervous chuckle, and stammer, then she laughs when finding out Lori is afraid of puppets and cries when she's embarrassed.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Lincoln realises that "something isn't right" when Lisa stammers and is unsure when she'll be available.
* StillSucksThumb: When Lisa falls asleep in Lincoln's arms, she starts sucking her thumb.
* TwitchyEye: Lisa has the "emotional" as opposed to "insane" variation when her eye twitches in fear.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: In addition to Lisa (and Lily) being afraid of storms, Lori is also afraid of puppets.
