Daria

You ever think Daria and Jane were lesbianish characters?. I always thought they should hook-up like Blair and Jo from ''The Facts of Life''.

i love that show

i only ever saw it once but it was an all night marathon so i watched it for hours. the next halloween i went as daria and my girlfriend went as jane. we wouldn't ahve dressed up as them if we didn't think they were a totally awesome lesbian/closeted couple.

i miss that show

Daria was one of my favorite shows!  I haven't thought about it in awhile.  I never thought Daria was gay, but Jane definitely was.

 

on a side note I had a big crush on Jo from the facts of life as well.

....

I think Daria is my biggest role model... ever... hah. But no. Not gay. Intellectual? Yes. Feminist? Sure! But gay? No.

I'd be more concerned about her sister Quinn... all those guys and nothing serious....

Jane was Bi>>

 

On one of the last espisodes (it may have been that movie) when Jane goes away to Art Camp, she gets hit on by one of the instructors, a Bi-girl played by out-bi girl Bif Naked.  Jane is a bit taken aback by this as the girl (I can't remeber the character's name) said she got a 'vibe' from Jane and that's why she made the move. Jane says doesn't send out any 'vibe' but by the end of the episode, you can tell Jane was thinking about what the said and she didn't seem as put off and she made it seem earlier.  I think she and Daria even have a conversation about it.

Daria's not queer. Self righteous to the point of exasperation, sure but not queer.

oooh yes

haha i actually drew a Daria lezzyslash piece and put it up on my DeviantART awhile ago. if anyone's on there and wants to see it, here's the link to my gallery http://vampirainbow.deviantart.com/gallery/ but i don't know, Daria never really struck me as a lesbian or straight, haha. She's always seemed pretty asexual to me. Jane is definitely gay or bi though.

My nickname has always been

My nickname has always been Daria, way back in middle school. Wow, does that date me? Oh well. Anyway, Daria definately was a role model for me. I guess I felt the cartoon mirrored my life. Not a whole lot but quite a bit. Now, her being gay? Nah. Jane always had that bi-vibe. She was kinda hot to me. Hmm. Guess that explains me being a bi artist, huh? :P
