>2015 burning questions about Daria
So, I've never watched Daria and I'm not a professional writer by any means, but I am a nut for fanfiction and shit like that (insert autistic ratings here), so out of no concern for my own well-being, I've decided to go through and read Triumph of the Retart, Lady Yasaka willing. Like I did earlier with the second episode of Pop Shot Hotshot, I'll be posting my live thoughts on whatever the fuck I'm reading in the following, along with a summary and a tl;dr at the end.
tl;dr The fic reads like a kindergarten "learn to read" book, I can't figure out who anyone in this fic is, and David is a pervert.TRIUMPH OF THE "RETART"
A "Daria" Fan Fiction Story by Peter Guerin.
With apologies to Glenn Eichler and Mike Judge
Oh for fuck's sake I'm already getting Sonichu vibes, and WE'RE NOT EVEN AT THE STORY YET.
SONG CREDITS
Why the fuck do you have song credits in a fanfiction?
Do you not know how text is supposed to work?
This story is dedicated to [SOME GIRL WHOSE NAME I AM CENSORING], a fellow student of mine... who was pretty much like Daria when we were in school and who tragically succumbed to a congenital heart defect a couple of years ago. I miss you, Mother Hen.
Isn't this the fanfiction where you fuck Daria?
Isn't this implying that you would fuck this girl?
She is spinning in her grave right now.
OK, I wanna point out that there appears to be some formatting issues. Not sure if this is due to my computer or due to changes to fanfiction.net's layout, but this is why people generally stick to just putting the chapter number and name. The less stuff you put in, THE LESS THINGS YOU HAVE TO FUCK UP.
So, the fic starts off with some boring dialogue that I'm going to gloss over because I cannot be arsed to type out all of this shit. Just gonna type out whatever strikes my fancy as exceptionally stupid.
"Now," Daria added, "if only Quinn got eaten by a shark, it would be perfect."
Quinn, Daria's sister, was swimming nearby, wearing a pink bikini. Indeed, a shark's fin pierced the water. John Williams' "Jaws" theme could be heard in the background. Suddenly, the shark appeared and opened its mouth. Quinn saw it and screamed as the shark swallowed her whole. But then, after a few seconds, the shark gagged, reversed its peristalsis and spat Quinn onto the shore. Quinn, now covered in shark barf, went up to Daria.
"Daria," she began to shriek," if you think that's your idea of a joke, it's not funny!"
Daria was taking off her sunglasses when Quinn threw a punch.
Suddenly, Daria's alarm clock began to buzz. She was jolted awake.
"Damn," she said to herself, "I was having a very good dream, then Quinn and the alarm clock had to ruin it for me!"
This is the fic's best foot forward.
Just gotta say... if this is the typical Daria content, then Daria sounds like a fucking boring show.
Following that is a lot more tedious dialogue that, to someone who has never watched Daria (me) feels very boring. At least Pop Quiz Hotshot was entertaining in how cringeworthy it was. This is like reading a 1st grader's creative writing assignment. ... A 1st grader who wasn't fluent in English.
The fic moves onto Daria talking with some girl about how the smart people are shunned by the popular kids because... uhhh... they're smart, and then it's brought up that the Special Ed kids are segregated into some part of the school called "The Ghetto." It's about as subtle as being slapped by a cinderblock. The dialogue continues to be sub-Sonichu levels of boring. Seriously, those guys emoted more. There's more shit about something about a student government, more people that I don't know because I've never read Daria, blah blah blah. I know fanfiction is primarily written with most people having some knowledge of who these characters are already, but even the most lazy fanfic author can at least distinguish these characters by their personalities. All I got is that Daria is snarky and everyone else are cardboard cutouts.
So the fic moves on and there's this kid called David who's a "retart" (because... uhhh... discrimination and hatred sure) and gets beat up by some names and then some other names and Daria come along and recognize David and beat up the other names and something or other. I would like to point out that the action here feels very stock and wooden, much like the dialogue. There's no variety in how the sentences are written. Everything follows the same format of:
[NAME] Does [ACTION] on [OTHER NAME]
with some conjunctions occasionally connecting the same cookie cutter sentences. It's boring as sin.
David then dried her eyes and took a good luck at Daria. "Did anyone ever tell you that you look cute?," he said.
Daria was dumbstruck by that. She began to blush. "Uh, actually, no," she finally replied. With that, David suddenly French kissed her. Daria sprang back, more in shock than in anger.
Daria then called the other guys back and they all simultaneously beat the living fuck out of this pervert. HAPPY END.
... Wait, no, she's apparently cool with that. So, if popular kids think she's a nerd, she'll beat the fuck out of them, but if some kid sexually harasses her, that's A-OK. Again, never watched Daria, so all I can say that she sounds like a massive fucking bratty slut.
Anyway, the principal comes in and punishes Daria, David, and the other people that Daria likes because, ummm... autistic discrimination. It's shorter than a Sluthater's performance in bed and as blunt as the bat that the girl would use to beat that guy up afterward with. It reads a lot like a book written for kindergarteners, honestly. Everything is so explicitly stated and so stilted that, again, it's just a chore to read through.
So Daria goes back home and the parents hear she gets in a fight. Then David and his family visit and say that Daria's such a great person and they want Daria's parents to represent them while they file a lawsuit or something. It's explained that he has ADD and that's why he's in Special Ed. I almost called bullshit on this but I did a quick Google search and "technically" you could qualify for Special Ed if you had ADHD. David then chimes in and says that he's gonna run for the student government and I can already see some deus ex bullshit making him win this so that the "retarts" get equal representation or something...
... Hey, did you forget the part where he just randomly Frenched Daria when they met? Yeah, um, I don't think ADHD makes you kiss girls. I think that just means you're a fucking pervert.
Daria points out how fucking retarded the plan is, and David points out that he wants her to be his campaign manager, because... uhhhh... she stood up for him...? Sorry if the whole "uhhhh..." thing is getting repetitive, but there's really no sense to any of the things being said. Things happen because the plot says they should.
"Daria," Helen said, "I think you owe it to him, since you did save him from those bullies."
That's not how that works.
Anyway, turns out this the first part of a multi-chapter epic, and this was surprisingly exhausting for how fucking boring it was...
I was gonna read the entire thing in one shot, but I think I'll hold out on that because reading this entire thing in one sitting might legitimately cause me to die of sheer boredom.
"My fellow Special Education students," he began, "we have endured the yoke of bondage for far too long. We have been herded into the 'Ghetto' and kept segregated from the rest of the school against our will. The other students keep picking on us. The administration keeps turning a deaf ear to out pleas. When trouble occurs, we get blamed for it and then get stiffer punishments than if it was done by the normal students. My friends, it's time to end this prejudice. Therefore, I've decided to enter the race for Student Government President. If I'm elected, I will push to have Special Education students have permanent representation in the Student Government so we can finally have a meaningful voice in school affairs. Once we have that voice, we will no longer be ignored by the rest of the school. some more boring shit We can make a difference! Join me in my noble crusade!"
There was thunderous applause. Then the students began lining up to sign the petition.
"He is such a brave young man," Rabbi Cohen said. "Somehow, he reminds me of Moses going at the bidding of God to tell the Pharoah to free the Israelites. I have heard of the horror stories that have happened to the Special Education students at Lawndale High. For far too long, their cries have gone unheeded. Finally, God has found a deliverer for them. He will be the instrument from whence God shall deliver the oppressed Special Education students from their suffering. God sometimes works wonders by using the people you least suspect are capable of accomplishing the impossible. Have faith in God, my child. He has always looked out for His people. The victory is His, for as the psalmist said in Psalm 46, 'God is our refuse and strength, a very present help in time of trouble.' He who would stop mighty armies from harming His people and will break the spear in two and cast the chariot into the fire will see to it that justice is done for the Special Education students."
I, uh, do not read a lot of erotic fanfiction. Not a fan of Fifty Shades of Grey, sorry. Am I supposed to be uncontrollably laughing the entire time I'm reading that?this post inspired me to read this fic. holy shit. you're spot on with the criticism, particularly about the entire story being nearly-complete nonsense if you don't know who specific daria characters are.
i skimmed a bit of the following few chapters and probably one of the lulziest developments is when peter guerin starts overtly making his character a straight-up messianic figure. choice quotes:
there's also the sex scene, which is really something. i've reproduced it here if you don't want to wade through an enormous wall of text to find it
"David," she began, "I guess you realize now that I love you. I admit that I have feelings for Trent, but so far he hasn't reciprocated my feelings for him. I know you haven't had any luck with women, so I wanted to give you a chance at something every teenage guy like you wants."
"What do you mean by that?," David asked.
"David," Daria continued, "I'm saying that we should move our relationship to the next level and . . ."
"And what?," David inquired.
"And. . .and. . ." Daria was a bit nervous; she was the type who usually didn't throw herself at the feet of a guy, but David was an exception; despite his problems, he was really a sweet guy.
Finally, she found the courage to say, "and have sex."
"Are you serious?," David said. "You don't look like the type who would throw herself at a guy like that. This isn't some peer pressure thing, is it?"
"David," Daria said, "I do not succumb to peer pressure. Besides, I'm old enough to know what I'm getting into. David, I love you, and you love me. If we care for each other, and if you're ready for this, then let's go for it."
"Thank goodness they handed out these condoms at school then," David said. "Enough talk, David," Daria said. She took off her glasses and then removed David's and began to French kiss for a few minutes. David had an erection, and Daria felt it.
"Is that normal?," David asked.
"Yes, it is," Daria said. "Didn't they tell you that in health class?"
"I haven't taken it yet," confessed an embarrassed David.
They began to kiss again. David stuck his hand in the back of Daria's shirt and rubbed her back. She did the same to him. Then they began to take off their clothes. They started with their shoes and socks, then they stripped down to their underwear. David was wearing an undershirt and briefs while Daria was wearing a bra and panties. They laid down on his bed and French kissed some more. David then found the courage to undo Daria's bra and removed it. When he saw her breasts, he asked, "Gee, I didn't know you were small-breasted."
"Well, I don't have much in the way of hips, either," Daria said. She yanked off his shirt, then he yanked off her panties, followed by Daria removing his briefs. David was amazed at his erection.
"Am I going to hurt you with this?," he asked.
"Not if you penetrate slowly," Daria said.
David grabbed the condoms he got from school, which he had put in the top drawer of his dresser. He put one on. He then got on top of Daria and French kissed her again. He then positioned himself for penetration. He tried to introduce himself slowly so that not too much pain and bleeding would result.
"Is it in?," he asked.
"You're not trying hard enough," Daria said.
He tried again. He heard a soft snap, then he easily entered Daria. They kissed while he thrust in and out of her. He could see Daria's breasts bounce up and down as she moaned softly, leaning her head back and moaning. He then fondled her breasts, then began to lick and suck on them.
"Yeah, that's it, David," Daria said. "This feels so good!" David continued to thrust inside her. Finally, after a while, he ejaculated and withdrew. He collapsed next to her.
"Well, what do you think?," David said.
"You were wonderful," Daria said.
"You're not just saying that, are you?," David asked.
"You should know by now that I don't say things just to say them," Daria answered.
After he rested, David then dove down into Daria's crotch and ate her out. He then placed his penis in Daria's cleavage and rubbed it up and down until he ejaculated in her face. Daria then rolled him onto the bed and went down on him. David was amazed at how deep she could take him in. After that, they did it "doggie-style", then David fondled, licked, sucked and even bit on Daria's breasts. He finished off by masturbating and ejaculating on her nipples. They then fell exhausted into each other's arms.
They slept for an hour. When they awoke they showered and got dressed.
"David, you were wonderful," Daria said.
"Let's keep this between us," David said. "No one has to know."
"Good idea," Daria said. "We don't need the rumor mill going on this."
They then discussed last-minute campaign strategy for a while before Daria left for her house.
also if you want to read stone-age trolls making largely-unfunny commentary on this fanfic, you can find it here. linked in the tvtropes article in the op, but this is, if nothing else, a kind of interesting relic of the old internet
tl;dr "He heard a soft snap, then he easily entered Daria" is the single worst sentence to ever appear in erotic fanfiction and this man is responsible for it

I find his twitter stalking really disturbing. The woman looks young enough to be his daughter. He re-posts just about all of her Twitter stuff and makes creepy comments about her photos. On, and he calls her his 'angel in black' (or something equally creepy).
This women has made it clear that she has a boyfriend (and has posted pics of the two of them together) so she may be sending a subtle message there. Still, surprisingly, she doesn't appear to be creeped out by him (at least not yet).
After reading some of his gawd-awful Daria fan fiction, I'm pretty sure that he uses her pics for his twisted little fap fantasies.
Then again, maybe she just feels sorry for him and figures that it won't hurt to be nice to the weird little tard with the pedo glasses because he lives far enough away that the chances of her meeting him IRL are pretty much nil.
1) Has this really annoying habit in the forums. He makes threads for new episodes of shows he likes. No one replies to these threads and the mods delete them later. People have asked him to stop before but he keeps on doing it.
2) Posts whatever news story he can find on bullying, then reminds you he was a victim of bullying. The guy I mentioned left the forum after getting into it with Doc over this when Doc bitched he couldn't attend his high school reunion.
3) Thinks highly of his writing. One time he started up a shitstorm when he told someone they entered a circle of great Daria fanfic writers that included himself. Everyone called him out on this, but that thread is lost to the sands of time. Also came across as a creepy during this time.
He's just fixated on them from his own experiences. He's fighting the fight he couldn't fight back when he was in the fight.Funny how he's got his panties in a bunch about trolling/cyberbullying but apparently Twitter stalking young women is fine and dandy.

I'm going to confess. I've been tempted to write about Doc for a long time, but I thought he was just one of those guys every fandom has. He wasn't the most annoying person in the fandom I've dealt with, and mostly kept to him self. This shit off-site though is eye-opening.
He would've stayed invisible too if he hadn't tried to butt into cwc's court proceedings
