At 11:57 in the cafeteria footage before Dylan climbs down the small stairs, Eric can be seen is looking at the direction of the propane bombs, for a moment he has his left arm up. What was he doing when he had his arm up? Flipping off the cafeteria or what?

I honestly do not think Eric was waving out the window or flipping off the cafeteria but instead, making hand gestures at the small fire they’d started on one of the propane bombs. I think he was talking to Dylan about it and contemplating what they should do next to get it to go off.  I’ve been in the cafeteria around that time of day on a nice, sunny day like it was on 4/20 and honestly, no one from outside that wavy, reflective glass would’ve seen Eric gesturing at them. So if he waved it was for their own amusing benefit and no one else’s. But again, I think he was gesturing and discussing the bomb snafu with Dylan. 

In the Basement Tapes when Dylan says “i don’t like you Rachel and Jen” do you know who are the girls he is referring to?

Eric: “Shut the fuck up, Nick, you laugh too much! And those two girls sitting next to you, they probably want you to shut the fuck up, too! Jesus! Rachel and Jen…and.. whatever.“

Dylan: “I don’t like you, Rachel and Jen, you’re stuck up little bitches, you’re fucking little…Christian, Godly little whores!”

Dylan and Eric were referring to Rachel Goodwin (or possibly Rachel Baker) and Jen(nifer) Grant as the two Christian girls Dylan hated as well as Eric hating on Nick Foss for laughing too much in their Psychology class.

Do you think the boys were the type that could laugh at themselves?

Oh hale to the no.  Neither was able to laugh at them selves. They were overly self-aware, insecure and hyper sensitive. They were unable to just be relaxed enough and comfortable in themselves to laugh at them selves if they goofed or if they did something that made others laugh unintentionally.  In some ways, Dylan had a harder time with this even more so than Eric did. Dylan was mortified when embarrassed, especially to the extreme as a kid. It must have made him feel out of control and in a situation he had no say or control over and felt as though people were all focused on him and his self-perceived blunder or fuck up (very AvPD btw). On top of that, he was a gifted kid and he was raised with this sort of unspoken expectation that he should always measure up to doing things perfectly or correctly because of his advanced abilities. Making even the slightest error could make him feel as though his reputation was slipping.  Eric thought dancing was idiotic and pointless and made people look ridiculous. He would never risk dancing because that would make him look like a self-perceived fool. It was one thing to be goofy when he was doing that on purpose – say, to make fun of a drugged out criminal while filming their COPS parody. However, it would be unbearable and make him angry if others perceived him as doing something unintentionally stupid and risk people possibly ribbing or ridiculing him.  But really, it was just himself, amplified in his mind, picking on himself over looking and acting like a dork or being the brunt of a joke (ala “Eric just got jacked up the ass”.)  Easier to pick on others and to call them morons rather than admitting he did something silly and having the self-confidence to laugh it off.  Dylan ended up dancing at prom with a bunch of his friends encouraging him to get out on the dance floor but I tend to doubt Dylan would’ve been out there on the floor had Eric gone to prom too.  The two together were their own worst enemies with similar insecurities.

Why do we still say Mrs when referring to his mom why don’t we say Ms ? I’m actually curious because I know they are divorced.

Well in that case, why do we even call her Klebold then?  I think for simplicity sake, Sue is comfortable remaining as Mrs. Klebold or else she’d be Ms. Yassenoff and that would just confuse the heck out of everyone. She is the mother of Dylan Klebold, and the former wife of her son’s father, so she has decided to keep her married last name and title along with it.  

Were the boys secretly gay? Cus dylan gives bottom vibes and eric was the one who was controlling and mean,ya feel me mane?

Psssht!  You got it backassward, dude, Dylan was the extreme bondage dom and Eric was secretly all soft and malleable at heart.  
You just bought into their covers . 😉  …or Dave Cullen. 😉

But dude, let me tell ya what I’m feeling… that you’d be digging all those Dylric imagines all over the tag. hehehe

You think if Robyn had confessed to Dylan his crush, he would have agreed to be with her?

No, I don’t think he would’ve settled for Robyn just to have ‘a girlfriend’ and that’s simply because he wasn’t attracted to her that way.  I think it was important for him to feel a certain way about a girl for him to want to be a couple. Sure Robyn was easily available if she made her feelings known but it wasn’t that simple for him. He wasn’t interested in taking the easy route as a lot of guys are eager for (including Eric).  Even though Dylan wasn’t successful with dating girls, Dylan had standards and wanted a quality thing. In his heart and mind he wanted a ‘true love’ type relationship. Idealistically romantic, sure, but he was holding out for it.  Just getting any girlfriend just because she’s a girl or going to bed with any horny girl just to have sex wasn’t of interest to him.  He liked Robyn and it was clear in his mind that he defined her as a nice person and a friend and nothing more than that. 

Hey! Do you happen to have a post of the old trench coat mafia website picture? I have seen it go around tumblr before I joined the tcc and I cant seem to find it.

everlasting-contrast:

Trench coat mafia website picture ?  Not sure what you mean exactly – like the one in the yearbook or what? 

I think that anon means the picture of the their website? Like how it looked back in the day? If the anon searches the trenchcoat mafia tag they’ll find it.

note: this is not Eric and Dylan’s website though.

Do you think that there was ever some type of beef between Daniel Mauser and Eric Harris/Dylan Klebold, like maybe Eric was mad at Daniel because he was a goody two shoes or because Daniel was a nerd or was too kind to people? I dunno, they probably didn’t know him but I keep thinking about this ever since I found out that Daniel and Eric/Dylan went to the same school when they were younger (not sure if it was junior high or primary school)

Nah, I don’t think they knew him and it wasn’t personal. Daniel was 15 and a sophomore. Now, they might’ve seen him around the school and not known him by name –  then again, remember, this is a school of nearly 2000 students. Some students didn’t ever recall seeing E & D in the hallways.  I think they just randomly stumbled upon Daniel in the library and made fun of his appearance in that moment.

Did either of the boys have self-image issues besides eric’s little… (ahem) chest issue (ahem)

What do you think?  😉

Do you think Sue and Tom would still be married if the massacre didn’t happen?

Probably yes.  A significant part of the rift that grew between them had to do with their vastly different styles of grieving and processing through the loss of their son and the atrocity he committed.  Sue needed to reach out to others to heal and also incorporate her loss in a public way so as to help others. Tom preferred to keep it private and buried a lot of stuff to try to forget so that he could move on with life.  She wanted to do things and he wanted to not do anything.  Eventually, this was a loose thread that once pulled, unraveled everything about their relationship and evolved them into different people that couldn’t connect and support each other in their marriage in a healthy, rewarding way anymore.  What Dylan did altered them irrevocably.
