![]() This something was Alexandria's Genesis, a fictional posthuman/alien genetic mutation I created in order to make my Mary Sues more. This something, in the 15 years since I first wrote it, had taken a life of its own. Something that, in turn, was my projection of my personal gender identity and body image issues that I was starting to confront in my 20s. Something that I made up as a silly backstory for my two Daria-based Mary Sues (fan fiction characters who are "perfect" in every manner possible. On the night of 15 December 2011, something I created under a male pseudonym when I was 19 turned up on my Tumblr dashboard. I just didn't know my mark would be the size of a logic-bomb crater. I had also discovered fanfiction then, and when I found some related to my favorite show, I wanted to leave my mark. Nearly 15 years ago (circa 1998), I was a huge fan of Daria, MTV's favorite high school cynic. While the original web site that hosted this fantastical piece of fiction no longer exists, it has been archived by Outpost Daria Reborn, and the original author has also written about the mythical origins of this mutation on Tumblr: The first recorded case of Alexandria's Genesis did not occur in London in 1329 instead, it was noted in a piece of Daria fanfiction written by Cameron Aubernon in 1998. According to legend, after a flash of light over Egypt some odd thousand years ago, the people with purple eyes and very fair skin had appeared only to disappear north and were lost till Alexandria showed up. Luckily, the priest had heard of the mutation before and told the parents that nothing was wrong with their daughter. Her parents, upon realizing her most distinct feature, the purple eyes, decide that she must be possessed and take her to a priest, to have her exorcised. The first recorded case of Alexandria's genesis was a woman named Alexandria Augustine in 1329 London. The characteristics of those born with the mutation make them the perfect human beings, with little or no biological disturbances. They also do not grow any type of body hair.ĭespite some of the contradictory characteristics attributed to these "perfect human beings," many people have asserted the Alexandria's Genesis mutation is indeed real:Īlexandria's Genesis is a genetic mutation that unlike so many others produces a very good effect for the human being involved. ![]() There's a picture that pops up on my Twitter every once in a while that explains a mutation supposedly known as "Alexandria's Genesis." Supposedly what that is is 6 months after whoever has the mutation is born, their eyes turn purple. ![]()
