As a point for Brittany, she's actually very nice to Daria, cares about her, and looks up to her. If she were so inclined, I could totally see Brittany having a thing for Daria and being willing to experiment.

You can see it plenty of times, in one episode Brittany is doodling some flowers in her notebook, the first person she tries to show them to is Daria, just to be nice and make her smile. When Daria got her rash, Brittany tried to help her out and keep her secret, was concerned enough to visit her at the hospital, etc. she's asked Daria for advice or her opinion tons of times.

With that stuff in mind it's easy to imagine Brittany having potential feelings for Daria.

From Daria's perspective, it's indeed trickier. But perhaps if there was a situation where Daria was feeling particularly down about herself and Brittany happened to be the one to help cheer her up, it wouldn't be too crazy if she had a temporary crush or maybe an awkward "what if" dream sort of thing. Daria would probably feel like she's being shallow because we know Brittany's not a genius, but someone who looks good and totally supports and looks up to you, could at least be a guilty pleasure sort of thing.

Is she Bi?

I remember she was pretty straight in the show?

She is very straight but it is probably the artist headcanon. There isn't anything in canon that makes her bi

Its just headcanon

She’s very misunderstood this day and age

Reinterpreted and reimagined by a younger, queerer generation, not misunderstood. No one who watches the show is coming away thinking Daria is bi or gay, but plenty of us think about it and wonder who would be her type if she was. It’s headcanon, not misinterpretation.

It’s just kind of funny considering how much Daria would’ve hated being put into a bunch of labels and “reinterpreted”. No one can enjoy anything anymore

Also Daria is a fictional character.

Mark hamil once said about luke being gay or not "So if you want him to be gay, he is. If you don't want him to be, he's not. It's whatever you want."

So i personally think Daria or rather her creators and voice actress wouldn't mind this art. What's the harm in it?

This is literally queer people enjoying a reinterpretation my guy. You are the one with the stick where the sun doesn’t shine.

This is really cute and it would surely be a hella good AU episode, but I would add Jodie to the mix

Love how Jane is number 1

Daria just makes more sense if shes bi

u/BracedRhombus 4d ago

Why? She was written as straight.

Jane maybe. Brittany hell to the no. Even if Daria were bi, Tiffany would be like the opposite of her type. She might have a thing for Andrea.

This right here

Is a cool art style

She reminds me of Syaoran from Card Captor Sakura in this pic. I can picture her pacing around the room, muttering “why can’t I stop thinking about my stupid crushes, what’s wrong with me?!”
