1. Behold! The host of the source of the violet-eyed madness that has taken hold over Tumblr for who knows how long… will be closing its doors 1 June 2013.

    Alas, I know better than to hope that with the end of Outpost Daria will come the end of Alexandria’s Genesis, not with the insane adoption rate my creation has garnered since Patient Zero introduced the pathogen long after I forgot about the vial.

    So follow me; I’m going to total this thing in the months to come.

    “Alexandria’s Genesis, a.k.a violet eyes (a genetic mutation).


    When someone is born with Alexandria’s Genesis, their eyes are blue or gray at birth. After six months, the eyes begin to change from their original color to purple, and this process lasts six months. During puberty, the color deepens to dark purple, a deep purple, a royal purple, or a violet-blue color and remains that way. It does not affect the person’s eyesight.

    Those who have this mutation will never grow any facial, body, pubic, or anal hair (not including hair on their head, on their ears, noses, eyebrows and eyelashes)Women also do not menstruate, but are fertile”

    NO FUCKING SHAVING

    NO FUCKING PERIODS

    AND I GET PURPLE EYES

    WHY THE FUCK WASN’T I BORN WITH THIS

    omfg those eyes are beautiful

    Why can’t I be beautiful like this??!

    I’d love for my eyes to be purple. It’s be perfect.

    This is also called Mary Sue Syndrome

    I’m a hairy Italian.

    Never before have I wanted to be a mutant so badly.

    By way of Kansas; I created Alexandria’s Genesis while attending Wichita State University circa 1998.

     


  3. freedom-to-express:

    I know a lot of you guys think Alexandria’s genesis is fake and just something some girl made up for her fan fiction, but it’s real, look at this article and think about it again.

    Taken word-for-word from what I wrote under the pseudonym Alexander Lamar Eldritch in 1998. You know, back when you were two-years-oldhttp://www.outpost-daria.com/fanfic/purple_eyes.html

    I don’t know who you are, but you are not helping. Why don’t you try a legitimate medical research website like WebMD or PubMed instead of some worthless content farm that pays its “contributors” 5 cents/article to back up your claims?

    Oh wait. You can’t, because Alexandria’s Genesis is not real, was never real, and barring eugenics or some other great leap into trans/posthumanism, NEVER WILL BE REAL.

    Understand?

     


  4. Meet the Creator of Alexandria’s Genesis

    Hello. How are you?

    I used to write Daria fan fiction way back when I was a huge fan of the show (circa 1998). One of the pseudonyms I used then was Alexander Lamar Eldritch (don’t bother emailing the blackstarwolf@yahoo.com address, btw; long-since deleted).

    Anyway, I decided to create a couple of characters who today would be considered A) Mary Sues, and B) really bad transhuman/posthuman prototypes. I gave them features such as:

    • Purple eyes
    • Shimmering, almost metallic, white skin
    • A lifespan of around 130 to 170 years
    • And so on and so forth…

    I even gave it a name: Alexandria’s Genesis. Made up a fun story to add a bit of history to these characters. I had no idea I was giving New Age idiots “children of the violet ray” fodder back in 1998.

    And now, some 14 years later, something I made up has made its way to Tumblr. *facepalms*

    I can never apologize enough for this. If you want to associate AG with anything, associate it with the musings of a bad Daria fan fiction writer who was into science fiction and fantasy back then. Or a posthuman ideal. Whatever.

    tl;dr: Alexandria’s Genesis is not, was not, and will never be real; it was just back story for someone’s entertaining first draft.

    PS - Meet the only characters to have AG (drawn for me by Kem): Raven Duchovny + Rebecca Anderson; Raven is male, by the way — think Andrej Pejic.

    PPS - To the Tumblr who adapted AG to create “Diadra’s Genesis”: Do you really want to create that monster?

     


  5. cognized:

    Tumblers, Internet denizens of all stripes, let’s start at the very beginning. If you come across an alleged disorder called something as florid as “Alexandria’s Genesis” and think to yourself, “Sounds legit,” you need to recalibrate your horseshit meter.

    If we assume your…

    *facepalms* How did something I made up entirely some decade ago for my bad Daria fan fiction Mary Sues come to this (yes, I wrote some under the pen name “Alexander Lamar Eldritch” then)?! Did some New Age idiots take this at face value?
