What do y'all think? Would they have a situationship?

For context, Situationships are a type of relationship in which two people have a relationship (usually a romantic one) with no defined boundaries or limits, as found in a traditional relationship.

As for me, there is a 50/50 chance that Greg and Nikki's relationship would form. However, it is very dependent on their initial interaction with each other.

On a side note, how would a Diary of A Wimpy Kid x Dork Diaries crossover even work?

>>149036184 (OP)
Are they even each other's type?

>>149036184 (OP)
Doesn't Greg have shallow tastes? He just wants a pretty girl that strokes his ego. He quickly gave up on Holly just for not knowing his name.

>>149036184 (OP)
Greg is a hormonal teenager who wants to stick his dick in any chick he finds attractive
Not sure about Nikki though

>>149036184 (OP)
I don't want to see a crossover. Their art styles are just too different. How can a fully illustrated girl be in love with a stick figure? It just looks wrong.

I'd rather see a Dork Diaries animated or live action series.

>>149036184 (OP)
>y'all

>>149036985
It'd work if you had two books from their POVs and diaries

>>149036184 (OP)
No, Nikki would be put off by Greg’s narcissistic personality and Greg would just see her as one of those unpopular girls.

>>149036184 (OP)
Never read either of these series but I just want to say that Dork Diaries has a really cute artstyle.

>>149036184 (OP)
sure why not

>>149036184 (OP)
Nikki would rather hang out with Rowley.

Shipping fictional characters is a sign that you have never had a relationship

>>149036184 (OP)
Aren't they different grades?

>>149039236
Greg and Nikki are canonically roughly in the same grade. Greg is currently back in the summer after 8th grade at age 14 (Post–Book 10: Old School retcon, where he should be in high school but isn’t—because Jeff Kinney wants to maintain the status quo).

As for Nikki, after being hospitalized in the last book (Yes, she did get hospitalized), Book 16: Tales from a Not-So-Bratty Little Sister, she is on the verge of entering high school—so technically, she's in the summer after 8th grade at 15 years old.

>>149039601
>because Jeff Kinney wants to maintain the status quo
I really can't imagine why someone would want to do that. After like 10 fucking books, isn't it enough? Either end it or make some actual changes, man.

As for Nate and Amelia's ship, it did supposedly exist sometime around the late 2010s, but nobody bothered to archive it. It sorta randomly reappears when mentioned in the Scholastic Squad wiki shipping section. Since then, I have seen a couple of people mentioning it.

Greg and Nikki are the most archived ship of the bunch, thanks to the abundance of fan art, memes, discussions, and even discourse found on community subreddits and the once-in-a-while Twitter post about the two.

>>149040095
>As for Nate and Amelia's ship, it did supposedly exist sometime around the late 2010s

How does he take it?

>>149036250
No, they are not. However, the opposites attract trope does go hard. Realistically, Greg and Nikki have an incredibly bantering back-and-forth dynamic with each other.

>>149037086
>>149038343
Rafe actually could pull her. He has development throughout the books, learns outdoor activities, enrolls in football, plays in a band, overall becomes sociable and has decent morals.

>>149036184 (OP)

>>149036184 (OP)
A romance story of two akward teens, told through their respective diaries sounds like a very interesting premise.

>>149036184 (OP)
>>149036250
>>149037886
Nikki wouldn't even talk to either Greg or Rowley.
Her love interest Brandon is the most popular boy in school, athletic, tall, long beautiful hair, plays in a band, is the desire of all the mean rich pretty girls in her year, and lives at a puppy shelter with dozens of puppies he owns.
She's every stereotypical 80% meme about women being shallow, she would run screaming if Greg or Rowley the ugly unpopular smelly gross fatass beta incels tried to hit on her.

>>149042402
She'd love Bryce Anderson tho

>>149042402
But isn't Greg the same in that he's shallow and only is interested in the pretty girls?

>>149042417
Yep. Big difference being his author mocks Greg for it and makes him fail, Nikki's author pairs her up with Brandon every book in the most laughable "not like the other girls" powerfantasy you can imagine.

>>149036184 (OP)
What the hell is Dork Diaries

>>149042347
It's not even like Greg isn't capable of character development in the book series. However, it is the status quo issue with Jeff Kinney that causes Greg to be the same.

"Books 5–8 mark a noticeable era in Greg's character development, where he becomes more aware of his actions, experiences humiliation, shows small increasing signs of care and selfishness, and even expresses gratitude."

It's not in a major sense, but it becomes more noticeable after the first four books and throughout the rest of the series.

Book 8: Hard Luck is ending is him sucking up his pride and choosing what truly matters and how to be content with the choice. Greg still makes it clear to the audience that he’s the same selfish and egocentric person, but he’s slowly starting to make better choices and getting better himself.

Unfortunately, starting with Book 9: The Long Haul, Greg's character undergoes flanderization, becoming noticeably dumber and more incompetent—for example, in Old School (Book 10), he doesn’t know what lemonade is made of and needs his mother’s help to put on socks. By Double Down, all the character growth he showed in Hard Luck seems completely undone.

>>149042424
So it be like if Greg get with Holly Hill and all his egotism never get any karma and portray as a normal?

>>149042345
He would get shat on twitter like with Roald Dahl.

>>149036184 (OP)
Women always date up so no.

>>149043139
basically. Also all his rivals for Holly's affections will get unceremoniously shat on by the universe and their lives legitimately ruined forever for the grand crime of being born richer and prettier than Greg.

>>149048041
NTA but desu I've never felt the "Greg is a sociopath" thing is fair, he's fairly well adjusted given his environment and family, the rest of his family other than maybe his dad seem schizophrenic. In particular, Manny is an actual sociopath.

>>149051634
A formerly shy and introverted schizo boy who is nonetheless good-hearted, sucked at school because of his schizophrenia, thus the next books focus on him learning to deal with it by becoming an artist. Over time he gets more social, gets friends at summer camp and a bootcamp for troubled kids. He goes back to school and becomes popular by surprisingly being good at football. Later books show that he's actually good at other things (in the latest book he joins a band and impresses his school) after he overcomes his issues.

tl:dr one of the best reads I've had, he's actually a very mature and well-developed character. The later books are not as good as the first ones though.

>>149056294
Growth vats are inefficient

>>149057809
To me Nikki and the Dork Dairies characters look and act more older than Greg's age.

Also I think someone should draw the Dork Dairies characters in the style of this peice of Diary of a Wimpy Kid fan art, along with scenes from the later Diary of a Wimpy Kid books.

>>149058910
>schizophrenia
Is he actually schizophrenic or are you just saying that?

>>149059049
To be fair girls tend to mature faster than boys so there’s that.
Also in general Nikki is just a better artist then Greg.

>>149040978
How would he write about having sex for the first time?

Adorable

>>149059102
He had a twin brother who died when they were very young and he talks to him and draws him in the book. It could just be an overactive childish imagination, but imo he's schizo because the author likes to give his characters disabilities or illnesses (there is another book saga in the same universe about a kid in a wheelchair, the name is "I Funny").

I recall a meme image that combined Greg and Nikki's traits to indicate the type of person a child between the two would be, and the number one choice was a lovable asshole. Combining Greg Jerkness and Nikki's Enthusiasm and Impulsivity, I believe Haruhi Suzumiya was being memed for a while in the Lodeddiper subreddit for a hypothetical child between Sociopathic Greg and Spoiled Brat Nikki. Unfortunately and humorously a Haruhi-like child between the two is thought of as the best scenario. (As Greg and Nikki are already terrible, to begin with)

>>149054354
She's being ostracised because her social credit score is too low. In the last page she talked about Winnie the Poo.

>>149066303

>>149063825
Haven't read it myself but fuck you she's cute.

Still, it's disappointing that despite having a diary and calling herself a "dork" (so you'd think she'd have enough introspection to have empathy) she still sounds every bit as bad as the Stacys she claims to be more sympathetic than, all while apparently having the universe's blessing.

>>149067293
Greg's sociopathy combined with Nikki's fortune, how powerful would they be?

>>149062707
artist?

>>149067115
Mostly Definitely because Haruhi Suzumiya screams Greg Heffley and Nikki Maxwell vibes from their absolute worst personality traits. Greg is her father, and Nikki is her mother (both in a comical sense).

I'm gotten pretty invested in this, although I only have read some of the DOAWK books back in the day. My experience with Dork Diaries is only the occasional page posted here. Is there anywhere the books have been uploaded online to be read? Or does someone still plan on doing a storytime for them? Since I'd like to familiarize myself better with it.

>>149067884
Some of the books are on the Internet Archive, but only for the print disabled because of lawsuits from publishers. You can send in a request to be registered as print disabled but an easier way would be nice.

>>149068466
Yes, the character flanderization of Greg is noticeable, but it's played more comedically and not supposed to be taken seriously. However, it does hurt his character, as it undoes whatever lessons he had already learned and moved on from, just for him to regress again.

Old School started with slightly increasing his already dumbness.

Double Down is a full-on character regression with his fixation with popularity, which he moves and learns from Hard Luck. It's not even done that he relapsed but in a different direction. It's character regression for maintaining the status quo.

Nikki is also pretty dumb. Mostly in terms of social awareness, but still dumb. (This is the same girl who ate a cupcake from the trash and tried cooking an actual live, unwashed frog for a gourmet meal for her parents.)

Overall, Greg and Nikki are two halves of a whole idiot. They made for each other.

Greg is 14 again, and Nikki is 15. Greg's age keeps changing to 12-14 because Jeff Kinney wants him to stay in middle school forever for the status quo.

Technically, if we ignore the retcons of Greg's age and damnation of eternal middle school and follow the timeline correctly, Greg is an actual 16-year-old who should be in tenth grade.

They are more likely to stay together. However, they will fight from time to time. Ironically, despite their different origins and personalities, they all complement each other's shortcomings. There is a reason why these are heavily associated with each other. They work together.

I know what Dandadan is.

>>149079357
What's up with her straw?

So when did these even start? Because while I've heard about them through cultural osmosis, I've never really seen them myself, and people talk about them as being part of their childhood, so is it some Gen Z thing?

why is greg being drawn like Spider-Man

>>149079716
To answer your question, Greg from Diary of Wimpy Kid and Nikki from Dork Diaries (along with Nate Wright - Big Nate, Rafe Khatchadorian - Middle School, Jamie Kelly - Dumb Dear Diary, Raina Telgemeier - Smile, Amelia McBride - Amelia Rules, which this thread keeps mentioning because of the Scholastic Squad) are all heavy hitters and beloved books from very late Gen Y, the entirety of Gen Z, and early Gen Alpha childhoods around early 2000s-2010s.

The easy synopsis for all these characters is that they’re ordinary kids going through the motions of life in their early to mid-adolescent years, offering mostly witty and sometimes heartfelt reflections on their journey.

>>149080199
If you squinted would Geronimo Stilton technically count? I mean he does write down what he does, although not for a personal journal.

>>149079732
It’s a birth defect.

>>149079716
Diary of a Wimpy Kid was originally published online from 2004 to 2005. In 2007, it was released as a physical book and the series began releasing new books every year following.

>>149080283
Oh that early? Never knew that.

>>149080199
>>149080283
>around early 2000s-2010s.
>originally published online from 2004 to 2005. In 2007, it was released as a physical book and the series began releasing new books every year following.
Ah okay that makes sense then.
Also answers why the generational appeal is hard to pin down, as someone on the outside, since the year range covers both late millennials, Gen Z, and early Gen Alpha pretty well.

>>149036184 (OP)
Both pale in comparison to real literature

>>149080216
NTA but I wanna say yes even if he's too old. Maybe Benjamin and Bugsy (not talking about the cartoon specifically) could be a stand ins? Actually now that I think about it, >>149080199 what about Babymouse?

>>149080902
If we’re counting Geronimo Stilton I don’t see why Babymouse wouldn’t either.

>They're usually assholes, at least Greg is. Which is fun to read. It's relatable when you're a piece of shit kid who also needs to watch their mouth in real life.
I think it goes back to why Peanuts felt so refreshing when it came out compared to say, Family Circus simply by having the audacity to depict children more intelligently compared to other comics at the time.

Never read Dork Diaries
Greg sounds too much like a borderline incel and Nikki reads like someone who would not stand a guy like him. Greg is Fregley with self awareness, but not enough to change his ways. He will never score unless a miracle happens

Manny 100% is going to be responsible for at least one murder when he grows up, the main question is just if he'll get caught, if it'll be unsolved, or if it'll "just" be written off as a missing person case.

Protected and consensual sex with Raina

>>149088081
Yeah, they are all assholes, just like another middle schooler in real life. However, there are some moments of softness or character development here and there.

Speaking of which, Greg has a lot of unnecessary hate in public consensus because he's an asshole. I don't know where this weird sense of mentality is that middle schools are saints. Hell No. They are not. I remember the comparison memes between Greg and Nikki. Nikki is a better person than Greg. However, it is like comparing dogshit to squirrel shit. They both are shit.

Greg and Nikki.....are perfect for each other

>>149090277
>I don't know where this weird sense of mentality is that middle schools are saints.
It's not that middle schoolers are saints
It's that these protags in particular are assholes, that's why they're protags

>>149088263
Nikki reads like a drama queen.
Then again, she IS a teenager.

>>149049805
It’s a fucking shame that >Shadman of all people is the only one who ever made decent porn of her

>>149090277
>Speaking of which, Greg has a lot of unnecessary hate in public consensus because he's an asshole.
I think it's just something people exaggerated as a joke (him telling Rowley to commit 9/11 for example) until you had people take it way too seriously.
Relatable kidlit protags these days are far softer in comparison

>>149093310
I'm reading Amelia Rules right now and it's pretty good. It's quite refreshing to read a simple comic like this from so long ago, and it makes me wish I had read it back in elementary or middle school. I like how it doesn't shy away from heavy topics some kids may be going through, while masking them with their own childish perspective.
I also like how her friend group is blatantly disfunctional and barely held together, but they like each other in their own nerdy way, lol. Also, while I assume that Pajamaman is likely too poor to afford new clothes, I never knew that he was the most respected man around. A king amongst kings.

>>149036184 (OP)
Nikki is a fujo. She would make Greg fuck Rowley or Rodrick, depending how deep into fujoshism she is

>>149093444
And I don't mean to make this an Amelia Rules thread, but I feel concerned that Owen is familar with mailmen going 'Postal'

>>149093489
Don't worry.
We'll post other things if it starts to attract too much attention.

>>149093504
Wow, even book covers are getting dumbed down for today's audiences...

>>149093444
If you can't get physical copies or wait for the series finally being out digitally next year, you can check the archive for the Amelia Rules storytime we had last year
Be forewarned, around the middle of the third volume and onwards the pages had to be storytimed in potato quality
Using the Internet Archive's rental system is preferable (you can find posts explaining it in previous threads).....except one of the books is no longer available to rent and the bad news is that it was the book that suffered the most from poor image quality during the storytime

>>149093596
That's no comic book.

gotta say I really like the amelia rules art style
something about it just kinda familiar and nostalgic even though I've never seen it before
it fits the kid comic look extremely well

>>149101540
People compared Amelia Rules' artstyle to KND but Gownley was influenced by newspaper comics and Cerebus (it's noticeable in some of the paneling, lettering, and even expressions)

>>149064909
It depends, your fucked if you dont have a Space and a Time player. Any of them seem like potential candidates?

Recently got a decent haul of Dear Dumb Diary books for super cheap and then this thread happens, weird coincidense.

>>149101805
Cool, which ones did you get?

I knew there was a reason my eye was drawn towards Mary Violet. She's a favorite of mine now.

Well its all kinds of interpretive since none of this was directly addressed or set in stone within the story and each fan will give you a several different opinions.

It's the title of the arc and the third volume

>>149103780

Oh this god damn sub-culture bitch.

Well, BatCave does appear to only go up to what appears to be issue #10, and I'm yet to see that black girl from>>149088930. So maybe I will go through the archives after I'm done with the ones here. Thanks, anon.

>True Things Adults Don't Want You to Know
>The Meaning of Life (and Other Stuff)

The rented copies on the internet archive aren't scans rather they're literally photos of the book kind of like a ghetto storytime but they're the best choice you got for now aside from a physical copy

>Tanner gave up her own house so Amelia didn't have to move again and leave things behind
All this time, I thought Amelia was moving but it turned out to be Tanner all along. Now I'm starting to understand why this book has "superheroes" in its title.

>Aspiring to be a superhero isn’t stupid. It’s the most noble goal you can have.

>>149104508
Ironically, Haruhi being Asian, is the least questionable thing about her in this context because it's Haruhi we're talking about. What do you expect?

>>149104494
Greg. He is in good hands, Nikki as Dramatic Brat Mania Wife, himself as a depressed narcissist husband and sociopath daughter Haruhi with a god complex who might end the world one day. What a happy family.

Besides the dark commentary, this is a funny idea about Haruhi being their daughter.

I wonder what Nate and Amelia's child would be. With that being a ship allegedly.

>>149108968
If you're going with the anime route child/children for these guys, I say Hiyori Sarugaki is a good contender for Nate and Amelia's child.

I'd advise you to read it blind but they're having truth or dare and Kyle dared Reggie if he felt the same after Rhonda confessed her feelings to him to which he said no. People call him out and Kyle says this. Trish has a heart condition that killed her older sister and her parents are worried sick over her possibly dying as well while she uses her fiction as a means to cope with the possibility.
He honestly didn't know she had that condition, he just said it because he heard rumors she was gonna move (which she does to get treatment)

So since "True Things Adults Don't Want You to Know" was removed from the archive, where can I read it now? As I haven't found the storytime on the archives yet.

>>149120565
It's on Internet Archive just no longer available to rent
Just use the storytime thread here if you don't mind some minor text being blurry

Thanks, anon. Quality's not that bad actually. Also, what does Amelia see in Kyle? Because seriously, again Kyle? What the actual fuck is wrong with you? It's like watching King Gorilla's birthday party in Venture Bros agaib.

>not that bad actually
The problem is mostly with these parts

Again, Venture Bros, King Gorilla. But I fully understand, at least he played it off well enough.

Greg is HMOFApilled

I think realistically Greg would hate Nikki. it would be a good crossover book maybe

I could see that happening to Nate from Big Nate, and he'd have to play it off somehow. Probably the same for the Dear Dumb Diary girl, but it would probably be something that would make people further speculate on her being gay/bi.

Oh yeah, there's also a short story in the More Fund Comics anthology
https://archive.org/details/morefundcomics0000unse
Internet Archive has it for rent
It was scanned but the scan quality wasn't ideal with some of the darker tones blending in too much causing image clarity loss

Greg gets Nikki teen pregnant
Does he push for an abortion?

>>149123754
He wants to but is too much of a pussy to say it.

>>149123754
Hard Question. However, Greg would realistically choose the abortion route because he is immature, ego-centric, and depends on society's social status attention, thus he should have a child early with Nikki, which could ruin his reputation and put him in a lot of trouble which he would dislike facing because he's a coward.

However, Greg does have a heart for doing the morally right thing when he is guilted, confronted, or emotionally manipulated. Greg can show signs of growth and selfishness, which he usually brushes off when he admits to it.

Realistically, Greg would choose abortion for self-preservation but eventually caves into keeping the child if he is pressured and anyone mentions or targets his compassion.

I should probably mention that the morally right thing about abortion is subjective to people, so I'm not going into that. However, assuming Greg abandons Nikki (because of knowing Greg), the morally right would be to help her before a decision is made between the two.

Woah, based anon

Anyone planning on doing any storytimes after this thread?

>>149124697
Mmmmmmaybe.
Can't be sure.

>>149121089
This

>>149124697
Most of that depends of if anything is ripped (unless you're willing to have something be in potato quality like most of the Amelia Rules storytime)
We've been steadily storytiming Dear Dumb Diary

Would Nikki want to keep the baby?
I hope someone can draw their POV art of the incident in their respective styles

Tradition?

>>149120789
In case you come back to this thread after it's been archived for whatever reason
Here's the short story that was only printed in a book cataloging graphic novels for kids at the market at the time
I think it was supposed to be used by librarians

>>149126609
Thank you very much, Anon!

>>149105998
Did you see Kyle today?

>>149126392
As for Nikki? She is in a similar boat to Greg, while Nikki is objectively a better person than Greg in a moral consensus. However, Nikki does show signs of self-preservation mainly by embarrassment. Nikki when in a preservation state, things tend to backfire on her slowly but gradually over time until it collapses on her.

Nikki would probably consider the abortion route but it probably backfired on her in some shape or form eventually and she would slowly reluctantly accept the child. Also, Nikki wouldn't have the heart to do something like that despite her situation, even if she considered it.

Again, Greg and Nikki, while very flawed people and characters are good-hearted inside when the right conditions are applied. Therefore Nikki would go and consider the abortion route but ultimately keep the child.

However, Nikki does need a lot of reassurance during this process because she is a person who depends on people's validation.

I should say that while Greg's character and Nikki's analysis does favor of ultimately favor keeping the child at the end after the thoughts of abortion I would say this will not be an easy process for them and both need a push from someone to help them to make the decision despite character growth because how nuanced and complex this process is.

Also, someone should draw this idea with Haruhi being their daughter. I just love how this thread considers and makes Haruhi Suzumiya as their daughter. How ironic for Greg and Nikki eventually to accept their child, just for the child to be an absolute mess of their presumably worst personality traits crank to 11. However, Haruhi is capable of growth and changing ...eventually very slowly but still capable, so it’s not a total loss.
