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?
