Say Cheeeeeeese!


Daria is back, right on schedule, to freak everyone out for World Smile Day. This time she didn't even bring heart-shaped cookies, so I'm shutting the door right in her terrifying face.

I think it's fitting that today is also National Kevin Day, because Kevin was the recipient of Daria's creepy smile/cookie combination in the original pilot. Also, Kevin tends to go everywhere with a big goofy grin on his face.

It's hard to say if Brittany and Kevin will be celebrating National Boyfriend Day thanks to their on-again, off-again relationship, but Quinn's probably holding out for National Personal No-Strings Attached Devotee Day. As for Tom? I'm not even going to go there.

Fanfic Update!
  • And so what? We have free will anyway, by natalieee_139 (part 12): "'How are you so unworried all the time?' Daria asked Trent, as they were walking to the Lane residence after going grocery shopping."

  • But You Always Knew the Truth, by riotsquirrrl (part 10): "'Jane, help me come up with a decent costume.' Jane knew long distance was expensive, but jeez. That was abrupt."

  • Harry Potter Morgendorffer, by Meester_Lee (part 42): "Daria Morgendorffer picked up her marker her wall-calendar and put an x on the day before. Another day gone by: it was getting closer to the day when she’d set off for Ilvermorny."

  • Suspiciously Wholesome (1999), by scaryfangirl2001 (COMPLETE!): "The late September air in Lawndale carries that peculiar Maryland autumn scent—damp earth, decaying leaves, and distant woodsmoke—as Daria Morgendorffer stares blankly at her bedroom calendar."

Time For a Room at Better Days Nursing Home?


Quinn has definitely looked better, but I suppose she's looking the part for International Day of Older Persons. By my math, though, she shouldn't be much older than 40 in the present day. I guess she forgot to use her sunscreen!

At least her hair seems to have kept its bright color and bounciness in celebration of National Hair Day! Then again, the color might be from a bottle or the whole thing could be a wig. Only her hairdresser knows for sure!

Please, no one tell Trent that today is International Music Day, because the last thing anyone wants is to hear a Mystik Spiral original. Fortunately, he'll most likely sleep through the day and our eardrums will remain intact.
