Line 56:
Other fans have been less optimistic. [[Kristen Bealer]] has often pointed out the selective and unrealistic way Amelia looks at Daria and their relationship, constantly missing cues correcting her false perceptions. "[[Country Wisdom]]" encapsulates this view perfectly as it turns out Amelia was told by Skip that Daria didn't want to come and was too passive to ask Daria herself, to the young girl's contempt. "John Lane 41: [[Friends and Rediscovery]]," by Richard Lobinske, makes a similar point and adds a startling twist as well. In "[[Prisoner of Hope]]", [[TAG]] did depict a depressed Amelia shortly after the end of "[[Camp Fear]]," when she realized Daria could not be her friend after all - in this case putting the onus on Daria rather than Amelia.
A few [[genderswap]] stories have Amelia and a male version of Daria, turning her infatuation into a crush. [[J-D]]'s "[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7714460/57/Not-So-Different Not So Different]" had 'Sonny' Morgendorffer take mild pleasure in crushing her dream by revealing he's gay. [[Smijey]]'s "[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7320688/1/Rio_Grizzly Rio Grizzly]", where Darius is a stereotypical 'cowboy' type, ends with the two paired off. Bealer's "[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12213111/1/Camped-Out Camped Out]" takes a similar turn as Trent goes to the camp reunion instead of Daria and Amelia fixates on him.
And then there's the [[JoeMerl]] [https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7942471/39/Paperpushing-It untitled story] working off an [[Iron Chef]] prompt, where instead of Daria, Amelia starts following around a pre-teen [[Anthony DeMartino]]!
