Tired Daria Fandom Tropes: Difference between revisions

Stories of this typedtype (a.k.a. Daria Triumphant) borrowed heavily from the portrayal of Daria in Seasons One and Two, where Daria defeated the machinations of foes who were no match for her wit or her brainpower.

As ''Daria'' writers explored further variations on this theme, Daria's opponents in early ''Daria'' fanfiction were not so easy to defeat as Kevin or Ms. Li. As little was known about Daria, many early writers fell into the temptation of granting Daria whatever competence it took to defeat her opponent. Daria sometimes had knowledge of firearms, obscure forms of martial arts, homemade explosives making, Internet hacking, or whatever esoteric skills that would not only ensure her victory, but make her look damn cool in the process.
