Tired Daria Fandom Tropes

''This page could benefit from an old-timer's input. Please see the discussion on the talk page.''

A trope is a term from literary criticism derived from the Greek noun &tau;&rho;&omicron;&acute;&pi;&omicron;&sigmaf; meaning variously turn, way, direction, manner, so "trope" in writing on literature designates the category of identifiable turns or types of plot, character, argument (figure of thought), or figure of speech; therefore the tired Daria Fandom Tropes are those identifiable (and worn) plots, character types, argumentative moves, and figures of speech in Daria fan work and fandom itself. As Jesus said of the poor, they will always be with us; hence this guide.

General Considerations
Just because a trope has become tired over time doesn't mean that it was always tired; for example, there may have been striking examples of stories where Daria is all powerful, but that sort of story became tired through repetition. Vice versa, some tropes may have seemed ill-conceived from their first appearance, but after a while one shining example emerged.
