Month: November 2015

everyone wants to know about dylan and his love being deep and philosophical and intimate, but what about undoing his shoe laces waiting for him to get off the phone with zach or sitting chatting to sue as dylan finishes up before going on a date, or bickering about what to listen to on his car radio? or curling a lock of damp, morning shower hair behind is head nodding along to him talk passionately about doom with eric in mcdonalds. normal stuff

I don’t find the normalcy in the scenarios you’ve given to be incongruous to the deep, complex, philosophical side of him at all.  But at the end of the day,anyone in a relationship with Dylan would have experienced any number of beautiful things as well as frustrating things about him.  That goes for any one of us really. 

If a girl offered to fuck do you think Eric would’ve gone along with it?

Probably. Not just any girl mind you but one he considered not too bad looking then sure. Dude wanted to get laid badly.  He had standards, but not super high ones given the fact that he was horn dog teenage boy. If she was putting out the signals then why the hell not? 

This post will be deleted this evening since this blog is about the taller dude.

Why has no one ever seen the photo of Dylan hugging s cactus

Was that cutie cactus thing some bucket list of dylans?

The photo is personal. Either the Klebold’s or Nate Dykeman own camera roll shots from when they visited the University of Arizona in March ‘99.   One can always cross their fingers and toes and pray that Sue will include this photo in her book to be released next February in reference to how just less than one month prior to 4/20, Dylan had gone on this trip to pick out his dorm room and seemed like a happy camper even mugging for the camera and blissfully hugging a cactus. It would also be a good way for her to show another side to her son giving us a glimpse of his goofy sense of humor.

Do you think Dylan knew when Eric was threatening the Browns? If so what do you he thought of it? Do you think he was mad at him? I think he was because Brooks was his friend before Eric even came along.

He obviously knew because he was in a bit of a moral quandary and ended up making decision to circumvent Eric and give Brooks the website url to warn him of the personal threats.   Dylan also partook in a Rebel Mission on the Brown’s home even going so far as to paint ball gun their garage and break windows with the use of it.  You can imagine the cognitive dissonance for Dylan in the midst of pulling mean spirited pranks on his good childhood friend’s home, destroying their property of a family that he liked, knew well and spent time with there since he was a small child.  But the thing was, Reb always determined the mission targets (Zack attested to this)  and that particular night, Eric had it out for Brooks and was itching for some sort of revenge to satisfy him.  Dylan was caught in the middle.  What was he to do?  He always just did Reb’s Rebel Missions no matter what.  They were usually pretty fun. So, was he going to suddenly protest now?  And if he did, how would Eric react?  Would Eric take that as him betraying loyalty by standing up saying ‘no way, man’  automatically siding him with Brooks?  I think Dylan coped by minimizing it in his mind.  The nighttime pranks were all in good fun and fairly harmless. After all,  they weren’t physically harming anyone or setting fire to their property right?  It was just harmless paintball paint that washes off, right?  It was just a broken window or two, right?   But at the same time, it must have bothered Dylan that Eric had taken to fixating on his old childhood friend and his family with a vengeance. If he could fixate on someone who used to be their friend, it meant he could fixate on anybody. Himself included.   It peeved Dylan that Eric couldn’t give up the grudge and that he was stuck in the middle of something that was escalating beyond his control.  And too, Dylan hated not being able to go for a smoke with Brooks without feeling like Eric was judging him for it. Dylan probably just shrugged and said to himself ‘yeah, it’s a prank..no big deal..all in good fun, like all the rest. Baumgart was my friend too but even he got pranked”  So, along with the website rants and the house pranks, You can be sure that Dylan heard every single one of Eric’s rants and brainstorming sessions over the sorts of vengeful plans of attack he had in store for the Browns and so Dylan just pretty much kept it to all to himself. The website threats, however, was something he felt he could do something about by side-stepping Eric and warning Brooks off. No, I don’t think he was happy, proud or pleased about an of it.  

HAHAHAA if you look at the video “Radioactive Clothing” Eric has no clue how to smoke a cigarette right. If you look closely you see Dylan is laughing underneath his breath, and laughed in Eric’s face near the end of the video saying that he was trying not to laugh when Eric was lighting that cigarette. We’ll never know Eric’s reaction…but he was so sensitive. Do you think he got mad at Dylan that Dylan put him on the spot and laughed at him? Note: Take THAT Cullen. A follower wouldn’t do that

I think the two of them were relaxed enough to joke around with each others goof ups.  Dylan messed up his lines in the beginning car scene of RAC and they all laughed; Eric forgot a character’s name and they all cracked up.  Dylan was holding back a laugh in Hitman for Hire too in the  PC lab scene where they’re listening to Veik sound like a dork begging the two of them with clasped hands. You can see him fidgeting his mouth trying to keep from cracking a smile. Veik nearly cracked Eric up at one point and so he was working his mouth and licking his lips trying to hold it together.  I do not think Eric took it to heart when Dylan razzed him about his fail attempt at lighting his cigarette.  They were close friends and so they could freely be themselves with fucking up and share mutual laughs at one another’s expense and so neither took deep offense. 

what do you think dylan’s MBTI alignment would be? im thinking isfp!

Good question! 🙂   I see Dylan’s Meyers Briggs Test Indicator (MBTI) alignment as:

 INFP – The Dreamer or Mediator or Healer

The INFP has two contrary characteristics, curiosity and shyness. They need to be kept informed but not the centre of attention.To the INFP life is a long quest for meaning and harmony and their personal values are so important to them. This means that it is essential to the INFP that their beliefs and their actions are totally in sync at all times. An INFP is unlikely to take any action which they don’t believe in their heart is right. Yet there is a crusading side to the INFP that would surprise even those who knew the person well. When a personal value, or belief is trodden on, then the INFP can become uncharacteristically outspoken but their values are usually so well hidden that the other person may not realise they have done so.

Characteristics:
The INFP has two contrary characteristics, curiosity and shyness. They love to know what’s going on, feel excluded if not kept informed but do not like to be the centre of attention. The INFP always wants to be invited to the party – even though the chances are they won’t show up. There is a sensitive, caring side to the INFP which means they will be see the interconnections between people and pick up on the verbal and non-verbal cues.Yet there is a crusading side to the INFP which would surprise even those who knew the person well. When a personal value, or belief is trodden on, then the INFP can become outspoken and turn on the transgressor. Their values are usually so well hidden that the other person may not realise, but the INFP becomes like a champion of the cause and will be expressive, animated and at times go for the jugular.An INFP does not like to be categorised. They value their autonomy, and feel ‘different,’ and any system, (including this one), which tries to ‘define’ or ‘explain’ them would be denigrated. The INFP would say, ‘You can’t put me in a box, I’m different,’  indeed they would all say this.To the INFP life is a long and convoluted quest for meaning and harmony and their personal values are so important to them. 

This means that it is essential to the INFP that their beliefs and their actions are totally in sync at all times. An INFP is unlikely to take any action which they don’t believe in their heart is right.Sensitive, caring and empathetic INFPs are excellent in supporting roles where people have to be looked after – especially if those people are close to the INFP. Because it can take so long (if ever) to get to know the INFP others paradoxically may see them as slightly aloof, as they engage best when they have allowed someone into their inner sanctum.INFPs have the ability to see good in almost anyone or anything. Even for the most unlovable the INFP can have (often misplaced) pity. Their extreme depth of feeling is often hidden, even from themselves, until circumstances evoke a seemingly uncharacteristic impassioned response. Of course, not all of life is rosy, and INFPs are not exempt from the same disappointments and frustrations as the rest of humanity, but their duty is to the greater good – the cause and they are intrinsically idealistic and gentle in nature.INFPs can even adopt the role of crusading ESTJ to get things done, (surprising others who’ve seen only the gentle, quiet being), but only for a short period and not without expending considerable amounts of energy.

In Relationships:
The INFP displays contrary qualities: gentle and caring, yet crusading, social and supportive, yet private and difficult to know. The INFP values most those who take the time, trouble and effort to really get to know them. Only those who are allowed through the INFP ‘assault course’ will get genuinely close. To others the INFP will seem like a gentle enigma. The INFP will often display their reactions to their feelings, rather than their feelings, and may bottle things up which then leak out at strange moments thus adding to the ‘difficult to understand’ image. It is essential for the INFP that their beliefs and their actions are totally in sync at all times. An INFP is unlikely to take any action which they don’t believe in their heart is right.

Objectivity is difficult for the INFP as INFPs feel things, really FEEL them and so to step back and give an objective appraisal of a situation or a person is hard because the INFP will consider these in relation to their own values and these are very difficult to understand as they are so personal. They will take things to heart and any criticism will be taken very personally and seriously, seen as a personal affront and so wound very deeply. Rather than take issue with the person, the INFP will invariably store their feelings up and they will fester and then leak out.

So serious can this be that the INFP may, rather than bring the issue up later, simply drop the offending person from their life-space. The INFP has a tendency to idealise relationships and so may be disappointed when others don’t measure up.

Curious yet shy, INFPs love to know what’s going on, feel excluded if not kept informed but do not like to be the centre of attention, shunning the limelight. INFPs are incredibly emotional, indeed they can actually feel what others are feeling and this can even stay with them. They are tuned in and insightful and they are happy to deal with the emotions of others.

INFPs have a deep desire for harmony and balance and will prefer to see the good in people, focusing on the positive issues and the interconnections between people rather than with the negatives. For a type so caring and gentle there is a surprisingly crusading side to the INFP. When a personal value is trodden on, the INFP can become uncharacteristically outspoken and champion of the cause. The INFP does not like conflict and will seek to be the one who brings harmony, diffusing tension and seeing things from the other person’s perspective, excellent supporters and empathetic friends. Conflict, aggression or even extended people interaction will sap the energy of the INFP who will need to disappear back into their own inner sanctum, reflect deeply on how it made them feel and recharge.

In Careers

———-

ISFP (The Artist/Composer) and INFP (The Dreamer/Healer) are pretty similar so I do think Dylan did have some potential traits of an ISFP – however, I feel INFP suits him just a tad bit better because ISFP is more externally expressive and sensory driven whereas an INFP is less demonstrative and more internalized, preferring to express behind the scenes in a more intellectual ‘meaning of life’ capacity rather than the outward expression of an sensor. That’s not to say that Dylan wouldn’t have had the capacity to express himself artistically or musical as I do believe he had a natural inclination for such talents if he had the opportunity to practice and hone them.  An example of this would be that he did take up drumming in middle school and he also worked in the theater production – however, he worked in a more INFP sort of capacity, staying behind the scenes working the technical aspects of the sound.  Had he more ISFP, he might’ve actually wanted to express himself and participate in performance. Some shy people enjoy acting because they can pretend to be someone else and are often very good at doing so. But Dylan being more INFP, preferred to express behind the scenes.

INFP and ISFP can be tricky types to differentiate.

They both share Introverted Feeling as their primary function. As a result both types tend to think very subjectively and can come across similarly.

They primarily judge things, including their music, according to how they feel about it within themselves. Consequently it can be very difficult for them to delegate responsibility to other people. When something doesn’t feel right to an IxFP it can be very difficult for them to get past it. This being the case, many IxFPs are band-leaders or solo artists.

When we’re trying to discern whether a person is one type or the other, a good place to start is with the temperaments.

An ISFP is of the SP or Sensor-Perceiver temperament. Sensor Perceivers tend to orient to the physical world. They’re more likely to be pleasure seekers and their art tends to be of a more sensory nature. They also most often more physically talented than INFPs and can be very good dancers.

INFPs are of the NF or iNtuitive-Feeler temperament. INtuitive Feelers tend to orient more towards people and social causes in their work.

Both types can be great humanitarians and may do a lot to help others get their needs met. Where the difference is often most evident is in their art.

Here are some differences you’ll likely see between the two in a musical context:

ISFP:

More virtuosic musically

More physical performers and more likely to be talented dancers

More oriented towards here-and-now sensory beauty

More likely to talk about sensory pleasure

INFP:

Usually more about the message than the musicianship

More likely to talk about human rights in their music

More likely to write about possibilities than an appreciation for things as they are

More interested in meaning than pleasure

All things being equal, one thing to keep in mind is that ISFPs greatly outnumber INFPs both in the general population and in music. ISFP is most likely the most common type for musicians.

Here is another comparison between ISFP (The Artist) and INFP (The Dreamer)

Why was Eric very sexist towards girls? Was Dylan too???

Because Eric came from a strict, traditional household where mom and dad were a bit like 1950’s June and Ward Cleaver in parenting style. Combine that with the fact that Eric was a fail with chicks and was trying to assert an uber macho front to desperately cover up the fact that he was actually a very vulnerable and emotionally sensitive boy. He puffed himself up by saying bullshit about the order of the universe being that women were born to be under men and that they needed to stay in their place and take on traditional roles of catering to their men.. which was kinda what he grew up with at home. What he was really saying was he had no control with women or how to relate to them or have one so he was talking big crap and over compensating for his lack of charisma with women. And Dylan, well, he wasn’t doing much better in the women department, in fact, far worse -if that’s possible – so, he’d just listened to the endless Reb rants and go ‘yeah, damn straight’.
