thoughts on tom /co/?he ruined the relationship dynamic of daria and jane for me.
>>153740629More of a plot device at times, he's a realistic boyfriend for that age.
>>153740629he probably tried heroin and OD'D in his late 20s
He looked like me at that age so he was cool at based and awesome because I live vicariously through cartoon characters that vaguely resemble me and they have to be right because I project myself on them and effectively gaslight myself into believing they're literally me
>>153740670agreed and samed.
>>153740629Did teenagers really cheat on each other as often as cartoons of the 90s and 2000s implied?
>>153740670Disgustingly based
>>153740629never liked himhe kind of ruined the show for megrown up now I see Tom was in the rightDaria was pretty withdrawn to actually love anyoneso in hindsight Tom was a necessity for Daria progress
>>153740629A big bowl of nothing with an outrageous conflict attached to make him seem slightly more interesting.The episode where he chased a squirrel with Daria's dad was great though. It was the only time his "perfect, normal" facade dropped and he got to do something fun and silly.
>>153741017I loved how Daria thought he was making fun of her dad at first, but then it turned out he was genuinely interested in something she thought was really stupid and it baffled her.
>>153741017The only times you see the boys being boys are when the women in their lives are busy off screen.
