History Fanfic / TriumphOfTheRetart

* AdaptationalJerkass:
** Sandi on the show is self-absored and occasionally petty in regards to one-upping Quinn, but as shallow as a puddle. In the story, she is curiously elevated to a murderous, bigoted psychopath who runs for school president entirely to stop David from winning and taking away her "special rights and privileges." This escalates to violence pretty much immediately. By the end of the story, Sandi has several murder attempts on her hands in the pursuit of her miniature Third Reich.
** [[Fanfic/TheMiserySenshiNeoZeroDoubleBlitzkriegDebacle Once again]], Beavis and Butthead have transformed from utterly ineffectual losers to vicious sex offenders.

** Hey, did you know that Quinn stayed at Jane's house when Daria and her family were visiting a prep school!? Because if characters aren't complaining about the lab rat, they're reminding Quinn about the events of [[Recap/DariaS2E8 "Gifted."]]

** Hey, did you know that Quinn stayed at Jane's house when Daria and her family were visiting a prep school!? Because if characters aren't complaining about the lab rat, they're reminding Quinn about the events of "Gifted."

** Hey. remember that episode where Brittany stole Daria's lab mouse and gave it to her little brother? Because Peter sure does! And he ''will not'' stop telling us! The episode is "The Lab Brat." Amazingly, he never brings this up.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: While not to the same extent of the other two stories in this series, the cast of characters still gets wildly out of hand rather early in the story.

* ThatRemindsMeOfASong: Characters like Music/RageAgainstTheMachine and the singing preacher are used to shamelessly copy and paste songs into the story and pad out of the fic. These are ''never'' relevant to the story - at one point, the preacher belts out [[Theatre/ManOfLaMancha "The Impossible Dream"]] simply because his Broadway background is mentioned.

The story concerns itself with Daria Morgendorffer's new school year at Lawndale High, where she conveniently learns on her walk to school that Lawndale High severely mistreats its special ed students to the point of segregating them into a rundown wing of the school and leaving them open to rampant, unmonitored bullying. Enter Jane Lane's new neighbor [=David MacAllister=], a boy with curly brown hair who [[BlatantLies does not in any way resemble]] [[http://www.dariawiki.org/wiki/index.php?title=Peter_Guerin the author himself]]. David, mere seconds from entering the school, is mercilessly assaulted by the [=JJJs=], Jeffy, Jamie and Joey. Daria rescues him, which immediately leads to David French Kissing her, and love blossoms from this darling sexual assault. After being punished by Ms. Li in the aftermath of the fight and upset with the state of special ed students in the school, David decides to run for Student Government President. Sandi Griffin, er, Del Monaco, immediately declares her candidacy entirely to prevent the betterment of special ed students, and the entire school is swept up in David and Sandi's battle for supremacy.

Guerin created an edited version of the story to ensure its inclusion in archives that turned down R-rated content, with the only alteration being the removal of the sex scene. The MST included two versions for the same reasons, though only the NSFW version remains online. The Guerin versions can be found [[http://www.reocities.com/televisioncity/network/4938/daretart.txt at this mirror of the original Mark Zero fanfiction page]] (NSFW version) and at [[http://www.outpost-daria.com/fanfic/triumph_of_the_retart.html Outpost Daria]] (edited version).

* RapeAsDrama: In this fanfic, Daria was kidnapped and molested by Todd as a child. Since Todd got off on a technicality, her entire reason for acting and dressing the way she does is because she lives in fear of being raped again.

* InMemoriam: The story is dedicated to a friend of Guerin's who died of a congenital heart defect. The MST leaves this dedication unmocked.

* IKEAErotica: As noted in the MSTing, the uncensored version of the sex scene is less "titillating" and more "Peter copying the most clinical description of sexual intercourse imaginable out of a high school biology text book."

The story went over about as well as Guerin's ''other'' stories, and like the others, it received a MSTing from the same crew that riffed his other efforts. Though this story was written between the other two Lawndale Militia stories, the MSTing was released as the last one, leading to some confusion as to the correct chonology. Later Guerin fanfics completely ignored the chain of events, creating further confusion in Guerin's fanfic universe.

* StraightEdge: Zach De La Rocha recruits some straight edge punks to act as David's bodyguards.

* RescueRomance: Daria and David meet when she rescues him from bullies. He is immediately so smitten with her that he flirts with her and jams his tongue down her throat mere moments later. This is true love apparently. Also, Trent and Daria's romance never comes up in spite of Peter clearly being on the Trent/Daria ship in his other stories.

* ThatRemindsMeOfASong: Characters like Music/RageAgainstTheMachine and the singing preacher are used to shamelessly copy and paste songs into the story and pad out of the fic. These are ''never'' relevant to the story - at one point, the preacher belts out [[ManOfLaMancha "The Impossible Dream"]] simply because his Broadway background is mentioned.

Naturally, this promptly escalates into Sandi arranging for football thugs to beat the hell out of people, hiring Todd Ianuzzi to be a hit man against David (oh, and did we mention Todd raped Daria as a kid?), Trent enlisting the aid of Music/RageAgainstTheMachine to rally to David's cause, Quinn Morgendorffer constantly getting her shirt torn open by her foes, a minister singing show tunes, Daria and David engaging in graphic AuthorAppeal sex, and the whole story culminating in David's death by a completely random suicide bomber. Then, finally, we get a complete reversion to [[StatusQuoIsGod status quo]], and the events of the story are largely forgotten.

* IdiotBall: For some reason nobody ever calls anyone on the phone in this story. They just run over to the other person's house, costing precious time that could have been saved by the use of a device invented in the ''1800s''.

* ContinuityNod: Hey. remember that episode where Brittany stole Daria's lab mouse and gave it to her little brother? Because Peter sure does! And he ''will not'' stop telling us! The episode is "The Lab Brat." Amazingly, he never brings this up.

''Triumph of the Retart'' is a ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'' fanfic by Peter Guerin, feaqturing small crossovers with ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead'' and ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill.'' It is also the last story in Guerin's Lawndale Militia timeline, which he later abandoned for a series of script-format "Daria [=OVA=]s" in another continuity. ''Triumph Of The Retart'', unlike the other two stories in this series, features no (intentional) supernatural elements or constant anime references, and largely tones down the MegaCrossover to just shows already created by Creator/MikeJudge in roughly the same canon. However, none of this stops it from being ''completely insane''.
