Line 108 ⟶ 106:
DeMartino routinely appears in fanfiction as a supporting character, his vocal tic either represented through ''italicised'' or '''bold''' words or by RANDOMly capitALISED words - or a combination of all three. He is often shown as one of the better teachers at Lawndale and an ally of Daria.
 
SeveralDue fanfics have, based onto his age, military school background, mannerisms, and comments that "a lot of good men died [in Vietnam]" in his"Esteemsters", firstmany appearence,fanfics have made him a [[Vietnam War]] veteran. This was never stated in the show but makes enough sense to be widespread fanon.
 
When he is given a romantic pairing, a number of fics have paired him with [[Claire Defoe]] even though they had no significant interaction in canon, outside of him taking her wind chimes and throwing them in the bin in "Daria Database" ("he just couldn't ''take'' them anymore").
