yeah, because being random and nutty is such a unique and enthralling trait
 
kind of like how lyra is never portrayed well as a serious musician because it doesn’t work for her right

Not really. Normal Screwball is cool because she had an awesome original design for a character that has had only 2 seconds of screen time. This caught people’s attention, and they launched the fics and ships and created a character which, regardless of which version you choose or prefer, is always cool and entertaining.
 
To be brutally, bluntly honest, this Screwball is just boring. I get no humor or entertainment from this character. I’m not saying this type of character is a bad character, I’m just saying SCREWBALL as this type of character is a bad character. If you played it for laughs that she is suddenly acting like this (Like the comic of Discord drinking cider and turning sober for the first time), it would be damned funny. This one is being played dead serious, when it should be played for laughs.
 
Here, have a wacky Screwball.  

 
I sense no vibe
