I just got done with one of these Abusive Parent Plot Device things! Why would ANYONE think that that's a good plot device to use without the absolute most delicate handling?

In which Flippy has an abusive father who murders his mother for no adequately explored reason and forces the poor bear to cannibalize. Lumpy apparently has a brother named Humpy, which is possibly the worst name any Happy Tree Friends character could have, due to its sexual overtone. Oh, and Flippy talks like a lolcat.
I hate you for making me laugh loud enough that I've probably woken up my parents.

I KNOW! I'm using one of those in my original story, and I'm STILL constantly fiddling with it. This one probably took all of five minutes to write! And what's with Flippy's lolspeak dialect?
Lolspeak plus APPD. That's not a pretty combination. I haven't ever seen any of the Happy Tree Friends stuff, though, so I couldn't say why anyone would think either of them would be a good idea.
(Also, you read my latest mission (that's what I'm inferring from your post title)? I'd greatly appreciate feedback/comments, either in the thread or on the LJ.)
