Have you heard about the term tragicomedy?

I have. This is not that. This is a tragedy with comedic elements. The comedy will certainly wane from this point as minor twinges of the mind increase to wild changes in demeanor.
It's like watching a psychiatric patient. It starts small, and the wackiness and loony gaffs are funny to watch as they hold an earnest conversation with noodles on their head. Then things turn scary when they stab a guy in front of you, and then they forget your face and refer to you as "one of them." And that's when things turn sad, and the doctor says they'll never be the same again. It's almost as if they were dead, but they're still walking around. By that time, you find it hard to remember the happy days.
That's why no comedy tag. Funny stuff, but that's not the point.

OK, so... what you described in the begining is a form of tragicomedy. The problem is, if you really want everything that you added later, than you should lay down with the situational comedy and irony because it isn't helping your cause.

I did say that this was a brief foray into levity, and that it will tone down after this. We're at about thirty thousand words now, and a larger estimate says that around seven thousand of those are comedic. There is still some levity, as Celestia is still in her manic stages, but for the most part, the story will be a tragedy from this point on.
It will also match a few other genres for brief interludes, such as action, slice of life, drama and porn. If I were to add a genre, I would classify it as porn. You can only pick three, and a younger version of myself would classify it as porn. but people tend to be upset when you classify a story as porn and then have multiple stretches of no sex, just story. I've done that before. It does not go over well.

Well yes... but also, this story is still a tragicomedy because no caracter sees the irony of the situation, not chrysalis nor the princessess
