When do daria and trent start dating

Trent also has an on-again-off-again relationship with Monique , lead singer of a local band called The Harpies. In Lane Miserables , Trent admits that he is scarred by the fact that his mother, Amanda , didn't go look for him when he decided to live in a tent in the backyard.

During Trent's non-waking hours, he likes to practice. He's been known to practice the opening to "Come As You Are" for hours, and when rehearsing his own songs the volume is cranked to maximum.

He can also get distracted by random things, such as the novelty settings and tunes on a keyboard or comparing records to CDs without realizing he's listening to the radio instead. He even sleeps with his guitar, which he and Jane joke is counted as practice.

Trent also spends his time trying to compose lyrics. He can be inspired to start talking in lyrics or writing them, at any time or place. This too is another bad habit he has while driving, and in conversation he once started writing a song about betrayal right after he'd tried to reassure Daria that she hadn't betrayed Jane.

While he can play the guitar well enough and nobody has ever commented negatively on his ability to play, his lyrics are usually quite inane. My nose! My face! Every song is designed to have simplistic rhymes. Jane has made snarky comments about Mystik Spiral's abilities and chances, and even Trent himself Jane's Addition once said that the songs in the band's second set were "just the ones that weren't good enough for the first set" and that he'd leave if he wasn't in the band.

Despite this, Mystic Spiral keeps getting gigs at The Zon and other places, and it receives positive reception amongst grunge fans.

This is likely a piss-take on the grunge scene at the time. Jane has made snarky comments about Mystik Spiral's abilities and chances, and even Trent himself " Jane's Addition " once said that the songs in the band's second set were "just the ones that weren't good enough for the first set" and that he'd leave if he wasn't in the band.

Despite this, Mystic Spiral keeps getting gigs at The Zon and other places, and grunge fans seem to like it. This is likely a piss-take on the grunge scene at the time. Trent is usually enthusiastic as much as Trent can be enthusiastic about his music and the band, and will make grand statements about their future and their artistic merit.

According to " Art Burn ", Mystik Spiral never play cover songs as that would undermine their creativity. Despite knowing that he was flaky, Daria had a crush on Trent for a few years in high school first three seasons of the show. In their first encounters, she could barely talk when around him and spent half of " Road Worrier " deliberately holding back on her sarcastic remarks for fear of offending Trent.

It turned out Trent found them amusing. The idea of embarrassing herself in front of Trent was a great fear of hers, and Jane would several times deliberately leave them together.

Trent appeared oblivious to her crush for most of its duration, but according to Anne D. Bernstein , Trent had noticed the crush around the time of " That Was Then, This is Dumb " "but he would never lead her on too much". In " Through a Lens Darkly ", he made complimentary comments about Daria's appearance for her benefit, and in " Pierce Me " he made complimentary comments about her as a person, telling Monique in front of Daria that she was "the coolest high schooler I know". In " It Happened One Nut ", he also deliberately avoided a nut stand because Daria was working there and would clearly be embarrassed if he saw her, and in "Pierce Me" he deliberately waits before entering his house so as not to embarrass Daria.

In the end, it became clear to Daria in " Jane's Addition " that it wouldn't work out, after Trent utterly failed to assist her and Jane like he'd promised. They realised they had differing views on things, and Trent implicitly brought up their chances of a relationship while talking about the assignment: "I guess it wasn't such a great idea for us to get together After the conversation, he gave her a peck on the cheek.

Glenn Eichler has bluntly said that Trent and Daria would never have gotten together or were intended to ever work as a couple, and that "any viewer who really thought that Daria and Trent could make a go of a relationship was just not watching the show we were making". So his songs and his lyrics had to be even more ridiculous with no depth or intellect to them.

Ironically, Trent's voice actor claimed he thought they could make a good couple: "They complimented each other greatly. Trent the dreamer, Daria the realist. I would like to see them get together after Daria graduates college.

Outside of the crush, Daria is still someone whose advice and views Trent respects. He provides advice and assistance to Daria when needed - and after the events of The Kiss , Trent tried to help get Daria and Jane back together as friends again. His parents Vincent and Amanda allowed Trent, like all their children, to do as he pleased in his youth. Amanda and Trent remember the tent affair differently: Amanda thinks Trent was just playing around and later lost interest, while Trent was actually waiting for someone to invite him back into the house and sounds upset that nobody ever did.

That brings us to The Kiss episode, "Dye! In spite of Daria's reasonable assertion in "Fire! What followed was one of the chilliest conversations ever between the Partners in Crime: JANE: I thought, you know, maybe you were a little jealous of me and Tom and you felt like you had to JANE: Just a teensy little bit, and it's okay.

Believe me, I'm sure if I were in your position What are you talking about? How can you accuse me of being jealous of you and Tom? JANE: Hey, are we doing the hair here or not? I just mean the way you're always I know you don't mean anything by it, so don't worry about it.

You accuse me of having some kind of designs on your boyfriend and you tell me don't worry about it? JANE: Hair! Daria yanks on her hair. JANE: Maybe we'd better talk about this later. You're delusional. A fan once pointed out that in "Partner's Complaint," Daria and Jane talked as if they'd known each other for a month. To me, that's how this conversation reads. Jane ought to have realized that while Daria had been jealous of her before, her way of coping was to mope and act passive-aggressive, as in "See Jane Run" and "Jane's Addition.

What teenage soap operas was Jane watching? It's as if Jane thought Daria had become someone else. As for Daria's response to Jane's accusation, it was very strong. While fans might sift through ambiguous moments to find examples of Daria's attraction to Tom, there was nothing ambiguous here. Daria was surprised, shocked, and angry. She was completely up front with her feelings about Jane's accusation.

If anything, Jane seemed to be the one who avoided her feelings in the past two episodes -- dodging Daria in the school hallway in "Fire! That brings us to The Kiss scene.

Parked out in front of the Morgendorffer house, Tom invited Daria into his car to discuss their "situation. Immediately after, Daria did the: "Dammit! Tom: "That was definitely not funny. Yet Daria did kiss Tom voluntarily. Could this have been certifiable proof that Jane wasn't wrong and Daria really was attracted to Tom all along, only she was in complete denial of it.

When Tom kissed Daria the first time, it happened very fast. No sooner did Daria realize what was happening than she was gripped with horror.

Tom knew he was going to kiss her, but for Daria it was completely unexpected. It could be that the second time around, Daria kissed Tom because 1 she had never really been kissed by a guy before Trent's peck included and wanted to feel what it was like, and 2 she knew that having sinned with Tom once, there was no going back. A third reason, a bit shakier, but possible, is that Daria was so stunned by the whole thing, she didn't even realize what she was doing when she went back for seconds.

Still, Daria going to kiss Tom did put her in the "blame" and "betrayal" category. Jane now had a concrete reason to be upset with her.

At the same time, it still was not a positive indication that Daria was satisfying emotions repressed since ILAP. For one thing, while Tom may have been pleased by the kiss, Daria did not express one bit of happiness.

Never at any time did she appear to savor the memory of her first real kiss, only to realize: "Oh my God, he was my best friend's boyfriend! She was so acutely aware of her sin that she blurted it out to Jane almost at first opportunity. From there, Daria continued to disavow wanting anything to do with Tom, even in a conversation with Helen when she made a rare confession of vulnerability. A talk with her mother, a neutral party, would have been the perfect time for Daria to admit that maybe she kinda-sorta was interested in dating Tom, and had been since the parade, but oh, what a horrible thing to do to Jane.

But still, nothing. Deep denial on Daria's part, or could this be how she genuinely felt? The notion of Daria dating Tom did not even come up until Jane mentioned it.

Jane, as if trying to dictate the course of events the way Tom did when he told her they were about to break up, practically insisted that Daria and Tom go out, because "Tom and you makes more sense than Tom and me. Jane told Daria she could go ahead and date Tom. Jane told Daria that she and Tom were well-suited for one another.

Jane told Daria that she was the lady and the tiger, as though Daria had secretly schemed for all this. When Daria asked about the status of their friendship, Jane informed her "We're the kind of friends who can't stand the sight of each other. Jane wouldn't listen to Daria. Jane wouldn't acknowledge that Daria might have been sincere when she said there would be no The Kiss, Part Two.

Have I mentioned that I don't like Jane very much in this episode? Because of the way Jane laid it all on Daria, I have trouble believing that she was somehow granting Daria's secret wish to date Tom. If anything, this came across as Jane's attempt to avoid any more terrible shock or pain. She undoubtedly viewed The Kiss as a confirmation of the fears she'd had all along, whereas Daria might have viewed it quite differently. The Kiss may very well have been A fit of hormones and no more.

Except now, Jane had announced that her friendship with Daria hung by a thread, that she not only "hated" Daria, but that she "[couldn't] stand the sight" of her. So Daria found herself without the comfort of her Partner in Crime for the first time in three years. As a poster on alt. Jane's anger here, partially justified, sent Daria into an unprecedented dark place. Only the ringing phone could snap her out of it, and the last lines of the episode were "Daria?

It's Tom. Now the thing is, we don't have a clue what transpired in that conversation. Only two things are clear -- that several weeks later, Tom was Daria's "guy I'm dating" and that Tom initiated the conversation.

This might have been a simple consolation phone call, followed by a tough-luck get-together, and the real dating might not have begun until a few weeks later.

Jane, herself, might have called up Tom and pushed him to talk to Daria, much as she did in reverse when she and Daria last got together. What definitely is not clear is whether Tom simply said, "Hey Daria, now that it's okay to date, do you want to? Does Netflix Have Daria? Yes you can watch Daria on Netflix.
