People is mean and love to negate abuse on people they dont like, sadly. It very easy for people to ignore abuse onto women, like, they always do It in reality, so imagine with fictional characters.
I've seen that negation of Daisy's SA too, and I've seen It exclusively on Camila stans on Twitter/ X 🙄.
Thankfully Djats stans , of both Daisy and Camila respectively, here on Tumblr are healthier, tbh.
To me Daisy Its the perfect example of Adult who was a SA teen survivor... She follows most ✓ of the Adult consequences according to psychologists, shout out to one of my friends, Loli, who has studied psychology, and whom i consulted once about an original character i'm writing about who is a SA survivor too, to write her realistically .
Anyways , here IS the list :
High risk of drugs use or drugs use ✓
Big amount of (unsatisfying) sex ✓ :
1- the Guy she "was with" and she was so bored while "going at It"... that she started to write a song while being fucked - On a curious note , the Guy she was bored to be with was played by Riley's husband on the show XD , his name is Ben Smith- Petersen and he is a hottie, with capital H...good for her!!
2- The boredom face she had in the scene while being in bed having sex with Nicky.
Or ...the polar opposite :
• Not wanting to be touched (by men) at all ✓ : When Daisy dumps Nicky she rejects the boys attempt to comfort her and only lets Karen touch/hug her.
• Inestability ✓ shown with things like :
Getting late everywhere✓✓ , as It IS "the manifestation of the inability to plan ahead in time", ✓ and a lack of empathy towards those who has to Wait for you...
Which relate to ... "general lack of empathy towards the others" ✓ : she has a whole ass affair with a married man with a daughter, if thats not a lack of empathy..." .
The lose of time and the lack social perception awareness are great sympthoms of psychological issues such as deppression or even suicidal thoughts...✓
• Damaged self-steem✓ :
Like, if i had a coworker Who always undermined my work, talked shit to me , called me "Headcase" and didn't admit my value...You better bet i would fucking go ballistic against him... As much as i like Billy, he had It easy with Daisy, if i were Daisy, aka "The golden It girl Who makes money" for the discographic...
Well, I would've done everything in my power to get Billy fucked by the discographic's bosses, which wouldn't have been difficult, as they already loathed him anyways for his issues, that in the past made them lose money- and I would've either threatened with leaving the band or gotten his ass fucking fired if he didn't apologize publicly and properly on the news for being AN asshole with me/Daisy, someone Who actually only did the job she got told to do... by Teddy, no less!!! The one Who was supposedly the only person who kept having "faith" on Billy from the entire music industry...
Personal note : I take no shit of anyone no more, ever since the end of high school...And i'm happier than ever tbh. But that requires lots of self work , introspection, good self-steem and loving yourself, which Daisy doesn't at all , while I do, (love myself I mean).
Anyways returning to Daisy...That Damaged self steem usually results in :
• The People (men) pleasing ✓ tendencies, to feel better with herself, that result in men taking advantage of her :
1- the ex Who stole her song,
2- the writer Who uses her as muse,
3 - Motherfucking Nicky
And, even (controversial opinion coming)...
I kind of think Billy used Daisy too :
He doesn't want to admit her value for his ego: the fact that a girl, with only one of her songs , one that was a better versión of his song "Look at us Now" got more success and money than him.. with his entire barely succesfull album and tour (that Got him alcoholic and almost ruined his marriage and life anyways), and all that must have been truly humiliating for his man ego, like even Camila- his wife mind you- admited It :
While At the party at their House, when Daisy is running away after fighting Billy, Camila chases after Daisy, and tells her She wants her in the party and "We wouldn't have this (the House the money the success) if It werent for you" XD which, by the way and to some extent...
Camila also "uses" her , she manipulates her so that Daisy stay in the band... and she (Camila) can have expensive nice things like the luxury clothes we see her sporting later...That she wouldn't have had if It werent for Daisy's music talent. The six were only mildly succesfull and were banned by music industry, by Billy's past alcoholism, than wasn't understood at all back then in the 70's. The discographic hated them as a result, they were screwed basically, until Teddy gave them another chance, but their chance was Only possible though a fresh face (like Daisy) joining them... The Six got a career thanks to Daisy, not the other way, you all. She would have gotten there eventually without the band, the band wouldn't have gotten there without her...
Only It all backfired epically against everyone , both Camila and the others , with the whole Daisily affair later and the band self-collapse.
Djats was a very complex show, with very messed and very complex characters, no one was a Saint there, and that was what I loved about It. Trying to make this story simple, with pairings wars, and denying the obvious (Daisy's SA and Its consequences) is just absurd.
All of that its just my love letter to Daisy and to be fair with Daisy , Who even with her impulsive tendencies, you all got to admit she was an abuse víctim, and people overlook that too much.
She deserved better, but as she didn't get It , she messed with everyone in the way...And they all deserved It one way or another tbh.
Shout out to Riley Keough too, Who was the perfect Daisy (my fancast in fact) and Who played her perfectly.
hi! okay massiage massive TW for SA go forth with caution.
i think as a DJATS fandom (do we have a name) we forget daisy was raped??? as a teen??? i can’t remember the episode number but she was locked in this hotel room with the man at this event. like why did we skim over that? she was like,15? like i know it was brushed over on the show but i feel like the whole fandom forget, anyway i just needed to rant
it actually makes me sick how people just brush over it and pretend it never happened because i feel like it also explains away a lot of daisys behaviours later on down the line!! daisy's past most definitely effects her during The Six era and i feel like if she had gotten the support she had needed from the very beginning, there are so many things that might have been different! anyway, i'm rambling, but lmk your thoughts!! <3
