Following the revelation of Teschs' financials and home life, I began thinking a lot about this gem of an exchange (from Gold of Ophir) between Alana Terrance, the chief human antagonist, and her mother Lindsey:

“Alana, oh my gosh! What’s wrong with you? You look so frightened to me… depressed and unhappy. I saw this yesterday too. Please, say something, sweetheart…Alana…I wanted to talk to you since yesterday but… as you know… I had no time… I had to leave…

I have this boyfriend, Alfonso. He is a dance instructor and I am out, nearly every night, with him… dancing in bars and restaurants because we love the salsa dance.

Look, Alana, over the day I work so hard in the beauty salon for both of us to bring money home to pay for our expenses. I bought you everything you ever asked me for, and I even paid with credit cards when I did not have the money and we are now in debt. In deep debt…I know… I abandoned you somehow because I never have enough time for you. Forgive me… But I am still your mother! Tell me what’s going on? But please, don’t tell me that you are pregnant? Are you in trouble again with the law or with this young man? I forgot his name… Alana…he is twenty-one years old and he is just too old for you.” (pages 96-97).

And here's Alana:
“Mom, please! I know you are working hard for both of us but I also realize that I never had a real father because you are now three times divorced. I am aware that all men run away from you when they find out about your true character… because you are a gold digger. I know that you are horsing around with many different men at the same time and that you are never there when I need you. You dumped Alfonso several times but you are still together with him. I hate Alfonso! And…I hate you!” (pages 97-98)

At first, I thought this was all just a handy way for Tesch to demonize her antagonists even more. I mean, "single unmarried ho-ho neglectfully letting her daughter go Goth" is more than sufficient for a villain written by fundies. But is anyone else thinking Gloria may have been writing what she knew a little too close to home?

Honestly, that makes the whole thing way more interesting.

Unfortunately there is also the fact that we can safely assume that any subtext in Maradonia is most certainly unintended.

You were doing so well with the whole "not sperging on the Farms" thing until now.

Can't really call it subtext if Gloria just, say, wrote down what was happening at home.

I'll be the first to admit the theory takes a hit when you remember the Good Doctor has wrestled control of the series, so it would seem strange that he'd leave in such a candid admission of a broken home life, even if just in the mouths of the antagonists.

That you're putting a lot of effort into defending her, and Gloria has a ton of creepy older male fans. People are questioning your motives for the same reason they question the motives of people who post a bunch about how she's totally going to do porn someday.

Why not? He ignored the part where Maya randomly bitches about her father forbidding her from having a boyfriend due to age/being conservative Christians.

You should've listened to @champthom, is the long and short of it. Also, staying out of this thread after revealing yourself should've been a no-brainer. You've read your own thread, so you know that folks like to make fun of the attention you give Gloria.

with such posts as these, you're quickly burning through the good will kiwis have felt for you due to the shaner/adf situations.

I think Gloria should stop written mangled up Narnia wannabes (Maradonia's story is so incomprehensible and its characters, so bland and idiotic, that I doubt she actually read any Narnia book in its entirety before doing her own book), and start writing realistic coming-of-age teenage drama, that possibly centers on family conflicts, friends, peer pressure, etc. (ala Perks of Being a Wallpaper)

It will still be awful, no doubt. And it would probably be full of exposition and dialogue to rival Tommy Wisseau's The Room. But it would give invaluable insight on her home life, or at least, her perception of what regular, normal teens go through on an everyday basis. She can attempt to (as she'll be forced to) at least put more emotion and characterisation into it than her current attempts. And that should at least be entertaining and engaging.

Plus, she'll certainly be better at it since she's writing something a lot closer to home, unlike that Bible rip-off called Maradonia.

Sorry. I don't think Glo-Glo is that deep or capable of interspersing real life events in a believable way in her writing.

This seems to me, without reading the whole thing in context mind you, is simply her way of trying to create drama and build character.

What I want to know is this: what, exactly, does Gloria have against 'the salsa dance'? The Gothic movement, okay, rainbow unicorns, if you must, environmentalism, well, she's a fundie... but salsa dancing? What did that ever do to her?

The dance instructor didn't constantly praise her perhaps?

Salsa equals unrestrained sexuality equals Hispanic equals Not American.

Yes, I am accusing the Tesches of racism, subliminal or otherwise, le shock.
