I don’t know if you answer questions like this but do you think Eric was in a way jealous of Zach and Devon’s relationship too?

Here we go again with the ‘jealous’ thang. Hmmmkay.. 😉

Actually, no I don’t think he was jealous of their relationship or that Zack had actually managed to have one with a girl. He was just pissed that Devon was pulling Zack away from he and Dylan and breaking up their little Trio of Trouble.

In at least 2 of his journal entries, Dylan specifically used the word “me when he should have used the word “I.” The only reason I can come up with for this would be to try to separate and distinguish between what he perceived as his “god-like” self vs. his humanity. What are your thoughtzos?

Imo, it’s much more simple than that. You are reading into things too much. Plus Dyl was sometimes half tipsy while writing. See here. Those are me El Thoughtzos.😏

Do you think sue would have been a jealous mom, with Dylan dating?

I don’t think meant to use the word ‘jealous’. That would be kinda weird seeing as she is his mom and that would imply a complex in their relationship.  I think you probably meant to use the word ‘protective’ and yes, most parents are to a degree when their son or daughter is dating.  Sue would be in the normal range of being parentally protective in that she’d hope he met someone that wouldn’t hurt him. She’d be kind of monitoring that from the sidelines and engaging the girl when Dylan invited her over. She’d miss her boy as he’d be spending even less time at home with herself and Tom with him having a love relationship but she’d also be proud and happy for him that he found someone special in his life. 

Journal entry 8/28/98 

“Dylan came home from school on his way to work & I fixed him a snack. He felt lousy, thinks he’s getting a cold or worse. He picked out a yearbook picture before going to work. Tom got home late and I made a nice little dinner. Dylan came home and joined us before going out. “

Something to remember us by..

Attorney, DeCamp asked about Eric and Dylan’s love of video games, namely Doom. Kriegshauser said the game came up when he mentioned he was looking for “fun things to do” on his computer, and Eric and Dylan gave him a “Doom Bible.” Kriegshauser said he kept it for a bit, then gave it back because it was inappropriate for him to accept gifts.

Kriegshauser “terminated” Eric and Dylan from diversion early on February 3, 1999. On the last day he met with them, he might have learned their nicknames, Vodka and Rebel. “I have a bulletin board in my office,” he said in his deposition. “And when I was out getting their paperwork, they individually took my—one of those plastic pin things you stick up on a thing, and they put out a V and an R.  And I said, ‘W hat’s that? Well, it’s just something to remember us by. Really? What does it mean?’ And I recall them saying, ‘Virtual Reality.’ But they might have said Vodka and Rebel. Now, I don’t know. But that’s the only time I ever knew about it.”

(Different anon) Once I asked you if Dylan would’ve reacted if Eric shot Devon in the library and you answered no because he was too detached during the shooting and it couldn’t latter anymore. So why would it be different with Brooks ?

Yes, and Dylan wouldn’t have reacted because he understood going into NBK that some of his friends, or acquaintances he liked, might be in the wrong place at the wrong time.  If Eric went around randomly shooting under tables and Devon happened to have been there and got shot, Dylan wouldn’t have said or done anything. After all, what could he do?  All are fair game in this Two Man War.  His philosophy at that point is ‘what is done is done’ (and hell, maybe he’d see her on the other side?)   However, like I’d just answered in the reblog of my previous post regarding Brooks: if Devon came face to face with Dylan and Eric and there was some sort of acknowledgement and exchange, I think that Dylan would likely spare her given the chance if he that opportunity to make a decision over sparing her life or not. But yes, it’s true, that Dylan was detached and he was going around playing Russian roulette poking his gun under tables. He was disconnected and more or less ready to let fate arbitrarily decide as to who might be on the receiving end of his gun.  The boys are pretty lucky that they didn’t run into many more faces they knew well and were in the midst of their own personal moral dilemma.  Eric could’ve run into Alyssa Sechler or Kristi Epling or anyone else he knew and liked.  You can bet he would’ve spared them given the opportunity to say yay or nay.  But of course, if they were in harms way, like Dylan, he could not guarantee they’d make it out alive, and he was okay with that.  That is the choice and commitment you make when you nihilistically decide that your entire school is worth blowing up.

If Eric or Dylan found Brooks in the library, would they shoot him?

everlasting-contrast:

No, because Dylan wouldn’t let that happen even if Eric was iffy about it.

I would like to add here that if Eric had just aimed under a desk and randomly shot and Brooks and a couple of others were there, Dylan wouldn’t have said or done anything about it.  The deed would already have been done and Dylan understood he went into this knowing that some he knew might get shot and killed either by his own hand or Eric’s.  That’s the way the cookie crumbles when it comes to war.

However, if it was a situation of the two coming upon Brooks and there was an interaction – as with what happened with John Savage, that would be entirely different. Dylan and Eric would’ve conversed about it, and Dylan would have had a say in the matter.

That’s what I meant.   The question asked doesn’t really specify the exact sort of scenario so I’m clarifying how the reaction would be different for Dylan.

what would’ve happened if eric’s parents had found out that he was planning nbk? would they have just given him a punishment or would they just straight up report him to the police?

They would’ve handled it ineffectually (once again) by keeping it secret within the family and not letting the police know that they had a son planning deadly criminal activities. Wayne’s priority was always about keeping up appearances and looking like their family were upstanding members of the community. He would try and bury the skeletons in the closet and enforce more extreme punishment on Eric. Wayne would go pay Eric’s therapist a visit and then proceed to remove all traces of Eric’s planning and preparations. He’d make Eric return NBK items such as the propane tanks back to the store. He’d make Eric remove/disarm the bombs he’d assembled etc… but would never involve the cops in their family matters. I’m sure this is a big reason why he used his lawyers to interface with the authorities on 4/20 because he didn’t want to be questioned or implicated for what he did know about Eric (i.e. building pipe bombs) and basically just let slide.

Do you think Eric and/or Dylan would have liked Rick & Morty?

No clue, tbh. I don’t watch this or know anything about this show. I do see that it came out in 2013. I’d assume probably not since they weren’t big on sitcoms let alone animated. I seriously doubt they’d even seen Family Guy which came out January ‘99 (They were busy boys then and absorbed in school work, their job, and getting NBK up and running. Dylan was wallowing in depression by January). Though if they’d watched a few eps., I could see them liking the humor. I just don’t think they made a point of watching that sort of thing. Simpsons they probably watched as younger boys so that was okay..but I don’t think they were regular watchers of it. This is my feeling on it..

In ideal circumstances, would it have been easy or difficult for Dylan to tell his girlfriend he loved her in person for the first time?

Difficult to risk being the one to mention it verbally at first. She’d need to say it first before he’d feel comfortable and give himself permission to express it back IRL. However, he’d be capable of confessing it first, it’s just that he’d be much more at ease writing her a note and telling her he loved her. That would be more his style. Though, he’d be sweating bullets in having to wait for her reaction and hoping she felt the same way as he. Hoping he didn’t mess everything up between them in assumed too much that she might actually love him back.
