A very stereotypical modern teenager. LOL :)


Yep, I thought she fits the role perfectly :)

Figures she'd be boycrazy and popularity obsessed...LOL she reminds me of someone out of a really bad teen-flick that portrays us teenage girls as only caring about things like shopping, boys, and popularity.


I know... that would be only the morons.

LOL she has no taste in music. And here I thought no one over thirteen liked Britney Spears, or pop music in general for that matter.


Someone has to - they sell pretty well.

She's rich too...did she walk off the set of Clueless or something? :wink:


*grin* I thougt it fit with her self-absorbedness and materialism.

*shakes head* she probably weighs about 80 pounds and she's worried about being fat?!


There really are people like that. It is pretty depressing.

Can you say eating disorder? :) No wonder she's so thin.


Yep... it often is part of the picture that instead of eating a good amount of healthy food they eat high-sugar, high-fat stuff in secret and puke it. Not very good for your health.

She must really be desperate if she's going to online dating site to meet guys.


She feels desperate all right...

Anyhoo, this is amusing ;) I like it...Aerie really fits the teenage stereotype that is so prevelant in the media.


Yes... I don't know how but it occurred me today when I thought of the teenager stereotype. This is Aerie! I thought.

I've never been much of an Aerie fan (though I'm a HUGE Evil Aerie fan!), and I'm definately not a fan of popular teenagers -- who else here was/is labeled a "geek" or something similar in high school? :) But you painted a realistic portrait and gave her some sympathy.


Well I'm unfortunately still in high school (I only have a few more months till graduation... woo hoo!) and I'm kinda a nerd though a more accurate description would be 'the weird short girl who doesn't usually talk much' :). Fortunately, my school doesn't really fit the typical high school mold...our cheerleading team is almost non-existant, our chess team is made up of mostly football players, and it's considered cool to be in A/V so nerds are generally more accepted :wink:.
Crazy? I used to be crazy. Then they put me in a white room. Then I died then they put me in a box with worms. Worms drive me crazy.
Crazy? I used to be crazy....

Thoughts in no particular order:

I really don't like Aerie, but not because she's a teenager. It's that she's so scared all the time. I keep feeling like I've got to look after her. :wink: Actually Nalia strikes me as more of an annoying teenager.

I feel for this modern teenage Aerie. No one should have to hate themselves. The really bad part is how much she aspires to something that is really just selling herself short.

What is "Evil Aerie"? This sounds fascinating.

Wow. That was kinda like seeing the BG version of the video for TLC's "Unpretty."

Great story!

When I was in high school here in Oz the expression was "Reject." In some way it was worse than "geek" (which always implies some level of intelligence to me) because all it was saying was that you had been put "outside" of society. You were "rejected". It probably hurt a whole lot more than I was willing to admit.

No, game Aerie is not a teenager, she is a 100+ years old elf. She just has, in my opinion, many things in common with this stereotypical teenager figure.

I hate the game Aerie's guts, she is the epitome of an annoying, whiny, clingy, passive-aggressive phony little bitch I detest.

There is some tragic in that all right - she probably has no clue what 'she' even is.

That is Laufey's genius idea, her version of Aerie in the Cards stories. Aerie is actually a cleric of Loviatar who has her own agenda... Try The Ghost of Opera in Laufey's Thayvian Tales section (I think it is in Novellas), that's where she is introduced.

WARNING: If you like Aerie, this story is not for you.
---------------
Here we see Aerie as a modern teenager.
---------------


*evil grin* Being the Sensitive Soul that I am, I shall of course depart forthwith... OK, now I'm back. Pass the BBQ sauce!


Aerie sighed and gazed her picture at the large mirror on her desk. Fluffy, bouncy, blonde curls, big blue eyes. A little rosebud mouth in her heart-shaped face, her voice pretty and babyish, her giggle girlish and delicate. It was not fair! How could it be that she had no boyfriend? She was much better catch than those other beastly girls! Her cell phone she had ordered a 'I LUV YOU' logo for also steadfastly remained quiet. She had only had two SMS messages today, all of them from girls. It was not fair! She should have been the most popular girl in school!


*barf* She probably pasted little heart-shaped stickers all over it too.

Aerie pouted and sulked for a moment, listening through her latest Britney Spears album. She could go shopping, she supposed. Money was no problem as she had a limit-free credit card courtesy to her often absent parents. But she had been shopping just two nights ago, and it didn't help. Clothes, even really cute ones, were no substitute for a real boyfriend. Aerie knew she was a sensitive and deep soul to think that profoundly. It made things doubly unfair. Not only was she the cutest girl in school, she also had a really sweet personality!


Yeah....really...sweet. *looks ill* We all know that the best proof of how Sensitive you are is the ability to feel really sorry for yourself.

She deserved some consolation now. She snuck to kitchen cupboard and fished out a six-pack of chocklad dipped donuts. She was really hungry. She had been at McDonalds with her friends, but only taken small fries in spite of being ravenous. If a girl ate big fries, let alone a *burger* publicly, she would be a pig! And Aerie would rather die than have guys think she was a pig. So she has snuck to buy the donuts at her way home, just in case. She stuffed them into her mouth one by one, gobbling them down. It probably looked really gross, but it didn't matter as no-one was looking.


Oh, this is *so* typical! Excellent detail.

After wolfing the donuts down she felt dread and guilt, though. She didn't even dare to think how many calories there were in the stuff. And eating like this could make her... *gasp*... fat! Aerie didn't yet have such problems, though she did make her best to loudly complain about her allegedly wide ass and two extra kilos to anyone who wanted to listen and many who didn't. Otherwise people might err to think that she was not vigilant. But if she really became fat... she shivered even to think of such a horrid fate. She had seen fat people, some of them even her classmates. She could not understand how they could bear it. Why didn't they just kill themselves? To look so gross, to be despised by everybody... and the idea that she would be one of them was simply too much. And yet, one of the fat girls had a... boyfriend. The boyfriend wasn't even very ugly. The sheer burden of the unfairness of it burned Aerie like acid. She hissed in frustration and narrowed her eyes, tears collecting into them.


Poor little thing. I'm *so* sad for her.

Aerie switched her PC on, impatiently tapping her foot as it crunched and hummed as the operating system built itself up. Aerie promptly berated herself of even internally using word such as 'operating system' - all the cute guys would find it absolutely *gross* if a girl talked like that! Sure, some nerd would probably find it okay, even like it. But Aerie would rather die than have a nerd as a boyfriend. Eeewww!
Finally! She tapped her login and password in with her delicate fingers, the nails covered with pink polish. She popped another piece of gum into her mouth and started chewing. She needed some encouragement for what she was about to do was a bit embarrassing.


And this is another excellent detail. Girls her type do tend to suppress any hint of intelligence, because 'girls aren't supposed to have brains, it puts the boys off.' And the gum is perfect. :wink:


On with the registration process. The boring details of her address and age. Race: elf. Body build? Now we're talking... slender. Aerie sighed at her flat chest. The school nurse, rather exasperated, had told her that slender people generally didn't have gigantic breasts and that hers were quite normal. What did the old cow know anyway, Aerie was saving for a boob job. Do you like to work out? Absolutely, every day. That, strictly telling, was not true. But it sounded as if she really did her best not to look fat. Colors? Aerie smiled, that was certainly an assett. Natural blond, long, curly hair. Blue eyes. It pissed her off that she could not add that they were really, really big. Do you like animals? Of course. Aerie had nothing against animals as long as they didn't make any icky mess or smear her make-up or mess her hair... but girls were supposed to like animals. Same went for babies, so she of course adored them.


Of *course* she adores babies and animals. As long as she thinks it scores her any 'sensitivity' points. And I pity that poor nurse.

How would you describe youself. Careful now... have to really think on which ones to tick. Caring. That was a good one - she really understood suffering because she had seen it so much herself, and besides girls should be caring. Great sense of humor. Oh yes... she could giggle with the best of them. Guys loved it when you giggled at their jokes. Intelligent. No-no. That scared guys off. Cute. Of course!


*Hurrrrrrlllll!*

After a while she pressed 'Submit'. Perhaps this would solve her problems. Much happier, Aerie started to daydream of her first date.


Excellent story! :) And I'm sure Aerie will get exactly the boyfriend she deserves...

What?!? You don't like sweet little Aerie? What a surprise!

*barf* She probably pasted little heart-shaped stickers all over it too.


Of course. Bleurgh.

Yeah....really...sweet. *looks ill* We all know that the best proof of how Sensitive you are is the ability to feel really sorry for yourself.


Oh yes. That's how her sweet, caring persona is displayed in the game as well, I think.

Oh, this is *so* typical! Excellent detail.


Based on a true story from an American exchange student. That kind of thing, she said, is not uncommon at all among teenage girls :)

Poor little thing. I'm *so* sad for her.


Can you detect a small parallel between fat people and people born without the ability to fly? :)

And this is another excellent detail. Girls her type do tend to suppress any hint of intelligence, because 'girls aren't supposed to have brains, it puts the boys off.' And the gum is perfect. :wink:


... and we all know the most important thing in a girl's life is to please guys and fit the norm. I imagine she chews gum all the time and her moth is hanging a little open all the time :)

Of *course* she adores babies and animals. As long as she thinks it scores her any 'sensitivity' points. And I pity that poor nurse.


I imagine she would stop adoring them very quickly if they soiled her new clothes or drooled on her.

Nurse: "Gnnn! I became nurse because I wanted to help ill people with real problems. I became a school nurse to help young people grow up healthily. Gnnn!"

*Hurrrrrrlllll!*


As you know, nowadays I call certain type of woman/girl 'an aerie' ;)

Excellent story! :) And I'm sure Aerie will get exactly the boyfriend she deserves...


Her kind tends to.

She confuses sweet with "totally naive"

[quote]
Grim and determined, she marched into the bathroom. She stuck her fingers into her throat and hurled the barely digested remains of the donuts in the bowl. Her face was red and puffed from the effort, the sad remnants of her carefully finished makeup now a smudge on her cheeks. But she worked with cold water, cleansing milk, and new layer of make-up. Patiently. Dutifully. Soon enough she looked presentable again and smiled at her pretty picture in the mirror. But now the boyfriend situation needed assessing. People were soon going to *talk* if she didn't have one. An idea, vaguely shameful but perhaps justifiable as a desperate measure occurred to her. She went back to her bedroom.

Surfing the porn sites?

[quote]
She double-clicked the icon of the web browser. On the address line she typed www.makeamatch.com. Register for a profile. A form opened in front of her. Sure, someone might see it the way that she was pathetic enough not to get boyfriend without resorting to such desperate means. But she was inventive... she would be sure to come up with a story where she had met the new boyfriend. Something adult and exciting and envy-inciting...

Sweet as a lemon. What the heck does she want a boyfriend for, anyway? When I was that age, all the available males were morons!

Yep, I'm a geek. Well, actually, I wasn't labelled as a geek at school. That would have been quite pleasant compared with some of the names I was called. Square Cow. Bitch. The Girl Everyone Hates. Outsider. Loner. Freak. Weirdo. And, worst of all: Oh You're Wonderful, Will You Do My Homework Or I'll Beat You Up?It wasn't just names either- I still bare the scars from the kids doing such charming things to me as holding me down and jabbing compass points in my hands. School, the best days of your life? B*****ks!

Nowadays, I'm proud to call myself a nerd or a geek. It does have negative connotations, but it has positive ones too. It means someone who is perhaps not on the same wavelength as others, but trustworthy, capable, competant, hard working and intelligent. We nerds should stick together!
