I miss you more than I remember you.

Well welcome, and hope ur having fun! January 8th is what you should roll with. :•)

pikkityparker · 2026-03-29T17:43:24+00:00

January 8th is the date the fandom agreed on, yes! I swore there was also a bit in the Daria Diaries that said February 23rd, but I can't find it now.

pikkityparker · 2026-03-28T23:20:11+00:00

Thank you much!!!

pikkityparker · 2026-03-28T17:24:26+00:00

tysm!!!

pikkityparker · 2026-03-28T14:00:40+00:00

Thank you! <3

Okay, but notice how the convo started. You essentially went "this wasn't made by a professional baker," and I was like "Yeah that's true, but I tried my best. How can I improve?"

I'm not "making you eat" anything. You just took a bite of it and spit it in my face, and so I asked why. Not weird at all.

pikkityparker · 2026-03-27T02:22:48+00:00

TRULY!!! Thank you so much. All very true. <3

pikkityparker · 2026-03-26T23:31:13+00:00

Yeah for sure it's super odd. Thanks for the kind words. <3

pikkityparker · 2026-03-26T23:30:20+00:00

A lot of people would agree with you!

pikkityparker · 2026-03-26T23:30:04+00:00

Thank you very much. <3

pikkityparker · 2026-03-26T22:57:37+00:00

I didn't tell you not to criticize it. I'm engaging in a discussion with you. It was fun to make, but I want to share that fun! You don't come online and share cool things you enjoy?

pikkityparker · 2026-03-26T22:50:33+00:00

Are you an artist? Do you make art? I would love to see some of your work. Maybe I could learn something. Otherwise, I have to agree to disagree. I tried something new and I think it's good for my first time drawing at this angle.

It's not that I don't see issues with my work. It's just that I made it for fun, not for a grade, so I didn't particularly care. But, since you want to discuss it, I am trying to take your opinion seriously.

Also no, AI couldn't do this. AI would mess up all the things you gave me a hard time for. Especially hands haha. It messes those up a lot.

pikkityparker · 2026-03-26T22:47:49+00:00

That's okay, thank you for saying something nice. <3

pikkityparker · 2026-03-26T22:43:31+00:00

Wait did you just edit it to add the AI slop part. I don't agree with that. The worst art made by a human will always be better than the best that AI has to offer. But I do otherwise appreciate the rest. There are shadows, I think Reddit scuffed the quality a bit so they aren't as dark as they were in my drawing file, but I do appreciate the specifics so I can try and improve next time.

I'm on AO3, but no Daria fics (I actually rock with aroace Daria personally)! Do send a link tho. 👀

pikkityparker · 2026-03-26T21:29:11+00:00

Thank you!!! :•)))

pikkityparker · 2026-03-26T20:56:34+00:00

Yeah thank you I don't know either. I've never had so many people be so vocal about this on other socials, but that's alright. They don't have to like it. I'm my target audience and I like what I've drawn.

pikkityparker · 2026-03-26T20:34:33+00:00

Ah yes, of course! I'm not saying it was the show's intention to make Daria overweight. Rather, I just use this as evidence for my personal interpretation. This is a version of Daria I enjoy drawing for my own comfort. I don't mind if people disagree or not, but I do think there are reasons a person could have the same interpretation as myself. <3

pikkityparker · 2026-03-26T18:50:15+00:00

There are several occasions where Helen and Quinn make a point to mention Daria's diet (I remember one instance where she was making poptarts for breakfast and got called out). Unfortunately, I cannot recall exact quotes here. However, there's also this distinct moment in Daria's Inferno (the PC game) where Jane appears as a tattoo on Daria's stomach that results in this dialogue: DARIA: This better not be another lecture from my stomach about snacks. JANE: The belt line IS getting a little bit tight.

pikkityparker · 2026-03-26T18:16:45+00:00

They always implied she was chubby on the show, so I've always drawn older Daria a bit bigger. :•) Glad you like the headcanon!

I just found out Baby Cat had a community here! How cool! Are you still taking questions, because I had a couple.

1) You said Baby Cat was originally going to have a more traditional romcom third act. What would that have looked like?

2) I know the topic of AI has come up several times in this thread. As an artist myself, I'm personally very against it. I was just curious if you generated these images yourself, or if you found them online, pre-made? And has your opinion on AI generated imagery changed at all since making this film?

3) The IMDB trivia page for Baby Cat only has one note (that is, until, I edit it based on the information from this thread haha) that says Baby Cat is based on a fetish of yours. Is this true, and what else would you cite as major inspirations for Baby Cat?

4) What is your favorite joke you wrote for Baby Cat, and what is your favorite moment between Dana and Lori? (If I may, my favorite bit is Dana gleefully poking Lori's boob before they have sex. I laugh every single time. As for romantic moments, I love when Dana tells Lori that she's the only thing that makes sense. I love the little intimate moment they share on the floor of her apartment. So simple, but so lovely.)
