doesn't matter if it is played serious in this case as the "played for laughs" comes from making a serious dark fic out of characters like this..

it's like when people make fics on MLP characters and make it super-serious and grimdark.. that's the joke.. taking things that aren't meant to be serious and playing them straight is a form of parody.
