• Daria Considers Changes

  (#) tara_li 2024-12-20

  I like a quiet story like this. I can see Daria being self-aware enough to come to this conclusion- and having a lot of difficulty understanding what kinds of changes she can make to handle things better without becoming not who she ultimately is.
  
  There’s all kinds of diagnoses that I’m sure people like to make about Daria - aspie, sociopath, ace, aro, etc. But she is definitely a loner, with just a very few allowed in - Jane, primarily, Jodie & Mack to some degree - not Tom, he was an experiment, possibly brought on by he & Jane not having an explosive break up.
  
  I think she would find her Montana Cabin life very fulfilling, with likely only Jane having the location to come visit every three or four months. First, though, she’d have to make some money, and that would be the painful part for her.
  
  I suspect, or this may just be me projecting myself onto her, that in most social situations, Daria has to “compute” her responses for anything more than snark. She has to go back through other situations she’s seen, how they worked out, and how they match up to her current situation. I think the experience with Jane is far enough outside of her experiences, that it’s most with Jane that we see the real Daria.
  
  Please, keep writing - I’m greatly appreciating the Daria stories, and would love far more of them, but pretty much anything you write will probably be excellent.
