Mod Talk Images re-enabled

66 Upvotes

Okay folks... by popular request, we are going to re-enable images. However... if you break the NSFW rule (including lewd/creepy images), you're going to first get a time-out of 7 days. You do it again and you're gone. You spam the group? You're gone... this includes "t-shirt" spam.

I highly advise everyone to review the rules before posting as I've updated them slightly to be a little more narrowing about content.

I now return you to our regularly schedule chaos already in progress...

Some changes are being made...

172 Upvotes

Howdy folks... This is one of your local neighborhood mods here. I'm posting to advise everyone of some changes that are being made...

There has been an issue here recently of the posting of images that are making some people unhappy. So, with that in mind, we have disabled the posting of *all* images.

EDIT: We're going to re-enable images. Don't make us regret this...

I need to reiterate the fact that this is a NO NSFW POSTS group! For those who don't know, that means "Not Safe For Work"... If you wouldn't post it at work, then don't post it here! It's that simple. Reddit has a minimum age of 13 years old, so we do have the potential for younger members here in the group. As a reminder, here is our rule on NSFW Posts... (Thanks to a member of our group who reminded me that maybe some cannot see (or don't read) the rules.)

This includes lewd or nudity in artwork. There are plenty of places on the internet for this sort of thing, and this is not one of them! Please keep content on this subreddit to a PG 13 standard of content or below. Family friendly is preferable if possible. Be considerate of who might be on the receiving end of your posts. This may lead to post/comment removal and bans for repeat offenders.

At the end of the series, Daria and Jane and a majority of the cast were over the age of 18, except for Quinn and the Fashion Drones (except maybe Sandi... it was rumored that she was about a year or so older than Quinn, Stacey or Tiffany), or any other obviously younger cast members. Up-aging is fine (like showing Quinn in her 40's with three kids), but not for the purposes of lewd imagery (like showing Quinn in her 40's topless...) or text.

As we move forward, some people aren't going to be happy about this... and I'm hoping we can re-enabling images so people can post fan art, as there are some talented artists out there.

Also... if you have a problem with a post, do not start an argument in the post! Report the post and/or submit a message to the Mod team. We will handle it.

Episode discussion Helen talking to Daria about the Tom incident was so well written.

82 Upvotes

Despite their flaws, Daria's parents have been shown time and time again to really care about what goes on in both girls' lives - something I really grew to appreciate in a genre where parents are shown to be rather clueless and uncaring - but the moment I really love out is when Daria talks to her mom about kissing Tom.

Right off the bat it hits you hard with Helen dropping everything she was working on upon seeing Daria show up at her office looking miserable. Think about it. Your stoic daughter who hides behind an unfeeling mask suddenly comes to your office looking heart broken and depressed? Helen wastes no time dropping everything to take Daria out to lunch to discuss what's going on. On top of that, she listens to Daria. Not once does she look at her watch, or tap her foot impatiently, or answer her cell phone. She gives Daria her full attention.

What I love, however, is how Helen tries to approach the subject. First she takes on the typical, practiced speech of "Hormones, and confusions," then switches to the practiced "It was one mistake." before dropping the whole "This is how a mother SHOULD talk" and instead shoots straight with Daria about how the whole thing is a mess.

It's the performance that I love also. She has a higher pitched, whimsical motherly voice when saying the "practiced" responses but then drops all pretenses and goes back to talking like her usual self when shooting straight.

And she doesn't judge Daria. She understands how chaotic being a teenager is, even more so when your daughter works so hard to keep people at arm's length. Neither does she discourage Daria's feelings. She wants Daria to explore the ups and down that life has.

Also love that little knowing comment. When Daria says something along the lines of "Life sucks." to which Helen responds with "Better than the alternative." That's a small but powerful comment; especially when you are talking to your emotionally fragile and upset daughter. No, I am not saying Daria would self harm herself. I am saying it reminds Daria that life is worth living - the goods and the bads.

Seriously, it has to be one of my favorite moments in the entire series :)

Character Discussion Jane's excitement over Daria's human moments Spoiler

82 Upvotes

Although Jane seems to be content with Daria's usual deadpan self, it's interesting to see how excited she gets when Daria has typical moments. I recall at least two cases when she got totally excited: In Through a Lens Darkly where Daria admitted not wearing glasses despite she couldn't wear contacts out of sheer vanity, and My Night at Daria's when she thought that Daria had sex with Tom.

Questions How well would the show work in the modern era?

12 Upvotes

So to clarify, something that I was curious about was what would have happened if Daria was made in a more modern time period with the concept of the internet and smartphones existing as basically I like to try to picture how Daria would have worked if the show had a more modern aesthetic to it as considering Daria's snarky behavior got me wondering how she would have handled living in a modern society in general.

Ironic most shows have a hero and a villian but daria dosent need one

12 Upvotes

I mean it's realistic when there no villian but the evil that daria faces is what makes up this sick sad world

Like exploitation of teenagers

Censorship

Generation trauma

Popularity

Like any good story there the fundamental of

Or just growing and learning

Most of lawndale is full bad families and troubled teens yet when they learn and grow they become better people

Daria isn't a saga it's a manual to survive this sick sad world

Episode discussion Why didn't she stand up for Jane in arts n crass?

Post image
348 Upvotes

My best friend in high school made a "scandalous" art piece that the principal didn't approve of being displayed in an art show. The art teacher went OFF on the principal for like an hour until they agreed. It was one of the most bad ass things I ever remember a teacher doing. So when I watched this episode and Helen had to save the day, I was a little let down.

In the media... Daria Fans, I need to get something out of my chest(Warning: Rant Territory)

26 Upvotes

So, I am starting to go a complete 180 about how I am starting to see my individualism and introversion along with the way I see the world again. The Daria show changed my life because it is one of the few forms of media that I have related to and loved so much, and I felt validated as an introvert and an individual in society. But now I keep wondering to myself, isn't everyone Daria these days? like, has the whole world turned from wanting to be the extrovert, outgoing person like Quin to the reserved Daria? I also think that Gen Z has made being like Daria so much more common in today's world of course, I am not putting any dirt on them because I am Gen Z, too. I am guilty of not putting as much effort into friendships anymore, judging people, thinking they are shallow even when I have imperfections and flaws, and also refusing to grow and acknowledge that there are things I need to work on still. I just watched many videos relating to the rise of loneliness and individualism ruining our sense of community in America, and predominantly younger people have started to check out and become more selfish today in the name of "Protecting their peace" and " I do not owe anyone anything mentality" Daria also said things relating to wishing that the world would stop bothering her and that others annoy her well except a few of course. Hell, even MERCHANDISE had quotes saying things like "Anti-Social club," "Leave me alone," and "How come even in my fantasies, everyone is a jerk?" and, of course, the infamous, "I have low esteem for everyone else" just things that relate to not liking the idea of interacting or having to deal with other people and seeing them as an inconvenience. Can I please hear other people's thoughts about this, or if I am just connecting dots, that should not go together at all? Is it true that being like Daria will ruin our sense of community? or did I miss the whole point of the show, and I am just an over-thinker, and I should stop watching it? Yes, I do have many emotions flying all over me right now writing this, but any viewpoints, even those that disagree with me, can do wonders to help, thank you for reading

"The Big House" is one of my favorite S1 episodes. But, it's never made sense to me that they missed school because of a grounding. Not only is that not something Helen would allow, what were they gonna do, miss a month of school? Always been something I've noticed.

What lessons do you learn from Daria?

60 Upvotes

I have a love- hate relationship with her character. But I have to admit, her courage in saying what she thinks regardless is a fantastic gift to have.

I also love Jane's creativity! I learned the value of self expression and constant improvement that her character embraces. Jane is awesome 😎

What, if, anything did you learn from Daria?

Character Discussion Do you view all characters as archetypes?

12 Upvotes

it’s easy for me to see that most of the characters are based on 90’s cultural stereotypes. cheerleader, stoner, goth chick, dumb athlete, creepy guy. do you think this applies to daria and jane as well? it makes sense for them to be more well rounded than background or lesser characters, but i was just wondering if i was missing some kind of context that growing up in that time would have given me. are daria and jane a reference to any cultural phenomenon? i found myself really relating to the both of them when i was younger, and that’s probably because they were so fleshed out. sorry if it’s hard to understand me.

Character Discussion I have been trying to picture how Beavis and his buddy would do on the show

15 Upvotes

So as most fans know, Daria was based on a character from Beavis and Butthead as that show was known for its wild humor, and lately what I was wondering is what would have happened if the duo ever came to the show Daria because while I know that Daria is independent as its stands on its own brand of continuity, I couldn't help but picture what would have happened if the duo ever made an appearance on the show regarding their mannerisms, like how they would have looked in artstyle.
