* ShippingWars: Much like the real ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}''.
* ValuesDissonance: Shows up in a major way in 'Last of the Bummer Wine', the show's equivalent to 'Is It Fall Yet?' (much like 'Is It Fall Yet?' with its regrettable portrayal of Allison, the show's sole LGBT character, as a predator). Here, Allison is hetero, but her still-predatory actions are not treated as a big deal in-universe. Fans in later years, however, see how problematic the presentation was, just as modern fans of ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'' are often troubled by Allison's presentation.

Daria Featuring Tom takes puts Tom, the controversial boyfriend character of the later seasons, in Jane's role as Daria's best and only friend from the first episode. Together, Daria and Tom navigate the tribulations of high school life at the turn of the millennium, idly mocking the stupidity around them. But things get complicated when a girl named Jane starts vying for Tom's attentions. Things get... complicated from there.

Daria Featuring Tom is what's known in the ''WesternAnimation/Daria'' fan community as a Round Robin Iron Chef. This is where the entire show is re-imagined as an AU. Instead of stories, however, the Round Robin Iron Chef consists of opinionated after-the-fact episode synopses, followed by notes explaining how the episode was received by fans and critics, and what its legacy has been. Meta humor is welcome and expected. Best of all, anyone is welcome to pitch in so long as they keep the story going and stay true(ish) to the arc of the series.

What this fan work presupposes is, what if her best friend was Tom?

Yeah, ''that'' Tom.

!!This series provides examples of:

* AcademicAthlete: Tom becomes this when he joins the football team.
* ComingOutStory: [[spoiler:Becomes this for Daria and Jane, which leads to considerable controversy among viewers.]]
* EnsembleDarkHorse: Jane quickly becomes this (even more so than in ''WesternAnimation/Daria'' where she starts as an important character).
** The Haute Society, the rich kid equivalent of the Fashion Club, gets a strong fan following despite only having spoken lines in a single episode, 'Holy Driver'.
* GirlOfTheWeek: A feature in Tom's life during Season 5. Not all fans thought this was a believable direction for his character, while others interpreted it as him acting out from the trauma he suffered over the summer.
* MetaFiction: It's fans re-imagining the series with an element changed, and presenting it as an after-the-fact series synopsis or review. Goes a step further with the notes, which sometimes discuss fanfictions that might have been written based on this concept.
* ShippingWars: Much like the real ''WesternAnimationDaria''.
* ValuesDissonance: Shows up in a major way in 'Last of the Bummer Wine', the show's equivalent to 'Is It Fall Yet?' (much like 'Is It Fall Yet?' with its regrettable portrayal of Allison, the show's sole LGBT character, as a predator). Here, Allison is hetero, but her still-predatory actions are not treated as a big deal in-universe. Fans in later years, however, see how problematic the presentation was, just as modern fans of ''WesternAnimation/Daria'' are often troubled by the Allison's presentation.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: Daria and Tom. They seem to be interested in each other at certain points. [[spoiler:They don't. Instead, Daria cheats on Tom with Jane.]]
