While I do think Dylan and Robyn were just good friends I don’t necessarily think he would’ve rejected her or ‘friendzoned’ her had she explicitly made her interest known to him. And that’s not to say he secretly harbored any hidden feelings but because Dylan cared about her and may have been open to dating if only because he didn’t want to hurt her feelings. He may have rationalized it as wanting a gf after all and there was a chance given to him. Whether it would’ve worked out is less likely.

Yeah, sure, I do think there is some merit to that but I think Robyn would have had to overtly make her feeling known to him so that it was clear she was interested in a beyond friends sort of way. I do think Dylan was sort of ‘trying it on for size’ when he surprised his mom by putting his arm around Robyn as his parents snapped prom photos of the two.  He initiated that on his own and apparently felt comfortable enough to do so with her.  Dylan had never done any sort of couple-y thing in his life with a girl and it secretly appealed to him unbeknownst to those that knew him. The prom was his chance to pretend at what could have been/should have been for him in this existence with a date. Robyn and Dylan also held hands in the limo but I would bet it was Robyn that slinked her hand into his to tentatively gauge his reaction as they joked around playfully with everyone else.  You could say that both were sort of playing at being a couple while under the harmless guise of ‘best buddies’ that always have a great time paling around together. But ultimately, Robyn would have been risking the safe space of their friendship if she’d kissed him or said she cared for him more.  And who knows, in the impulse of such a moment, Dylan just might have found himself caught up in the unexpected whirlwind of her overtures..  That said, I do think Dylan did not prefer Robyn the way she might’ve eventually hoped for between them.  He was not really naturally attracted to her that way.

I really love your blog, i’m scared to follow or reblog you though, as i’ve done it before and some of my followers (?) i think, well some anonymous person started sending me hate for reblogging things about Dylan & Eric. even thought it’s MY blog. i just get nervous because i don’t want to be rude to anybody, and my blog isn’t really a true crime blog, infact its nothing true crime related, i just find dyl & eric fascinating. It’s sad, but i like getting to know them. <3

Awh, thankss. ☺️ I feel for you. I’ve know others in the same boat as you. I think that most people with largely mainstream ‘vanilla’ or non-controversial blogs are going to endure automatic, knee-jerk judgment when you start introducing True Crime or Columbine related stuff on it.  It’s a bit like mixing the yin with the yang and some people just react negatively because they’re not ready for exploring such things that make them stop and think just a bit more about humanity. “Ignorance is bliss” for most as someone once said. 😏I would suggest running a side blog if you’d like to continue exploring the dark and complex Rabbit Hole that is Columbine and the boys.  That way you can sort of have your cake and eat it too. 😉

Would Dylan have ever switched to vaping?

Smoking cigarettes was the thing in the late nineties. I’m sure if vaping had been in back in the day then sure, no doubt he would’ve tried it. But I think there is a certain macho cache to smoking old school paper and lethal tobacco cigs. Vaping is a bit synthetic and sanitized by comparison. But I suppose given that Dyl is..was a Technoholic, the vaping thing might be more his style than Eric with his James Dean rebel without a cause attitude. Obviously, this type of question can only be answered speculatively.

I’d want to be same kinda blog but about Eric. But I’m too scared people won’t ask me things and wouldn’t be interested :(

Funny, I never started this blog hoping people would follow, ask or like anything at all. I felt compelled to create E-C because of my personal interest and passion regarding all things Dylan. In all seriousness, I never expected anything about this blog at all except to have my own haven to research and explore the heck out of this boy. Maybe you ought to try that approach? 🙂 At the end of the day the measure of success for your blog should be about quality content that you, personally, want to explore and showcase and it’s not about doing things in order to acquire popularity traffic. If you start off feeling scared, you might need to step back and weigh in on whether Eric is more important than the blog or whether the blog is more important than Eric. What matters is your own interest and not others. Good luck 🙂

Greetings, ms. Everlasting ! I really hope you take the time to answer this. I’ve been thinking about the time when the climax of the two boys’ plan unfolded. . Do you remember feeling somewhat different on that day it all occurred ? Like there was something off and awful about this particular day .. ?

Hi 🙂  Are you asking if I felt like I was anxious or something ominous was about to happen on 4/20?   If so, yes, I did feel a bit on edge. Certainly, as it was all unfolding it felt cataclysmic as if there were two distinct time periods: yesterday and that day, which defined all days after.  Another major life-changing event like that was 9/11 with its defining sense of ‘new normal’.  

The VoDkA molecule 

In discovering this, I’m left to ponder whether Dylan stumbled upon what the chemical formula molecule was for his favorite alcoholic beverage from, perhaps, a chemistry class at CHS.  That he was already quite fond of the beverage but then learned the formula symbol while in class and it became sort of a springboard foundational shape for his original two-barred cross symbol (and not the Cross of Lorraine as has been speculated). From there, the symbol then evolved into a three-barred cross as Dylan himself became the divisional slash down the middle of it.  We’ll never know for sure but it certainly is interesting that the Vodka formula chemistry symbol dovetails his initial double cross.  Btw, the formula symbol is a big deal sold as jewelry such as necklaces and earring including the flask above with the molecule on it.  That would’ve made a fantastic gift for Mr. V!  😉 

The synchronous similarity certainly makes one go hmm… 

 

Do u think either of them would sleep with someone underage if the situation arose?

Hmm.. I keep getting asked this same question for some reason. Depends on what we’re all agreeing upon is ‘underaged’? Both boys were minors at 17 years of age until Eric turned 18 just two weeks before the massacre. Dylan was still a minor when he died. We know that Eric was willing to date freshman girls (search Katie Thompson). I would imagine that if he was willing to date a girl 2-3 years younger than himself, he wouldn’t have turned down bedding her if the opportunity arose ( if he worked up the nerve that is). Difficult to say with Dylan but I tend to think he had no personal preference for younger girls. The only evidence is Eric’s interest towards the last months of his life likely out of his own desperation to get laid.

In one of his journal entries, Dylan wrote “All people i ever might have loved have abandoned me” Who, apart from Zach, do you think he could have been talking about?

 This passage was written 11/3/97 so given that: Zack + Devon, Eric (who was dating Sasha at the time he wrote this), and possibly including “all the people I’ve loved, or at least liked (or thought I loved) – all the same meaning“ on this list that he wrote in the very next entry dated ½/98.

11/3/97
“Some god I am…. All people I ever might have loved have abandoned me, my parents piss me off & hate me … want me to have fuckin ambition!! How can I when I get screwed & destroyed by everything??!!! I have no money, no happiness, no friends … Eric will be getting further away soon…. I’ll have less than nothing … how normal. I wanted to love … I wanted to be happy and ambitions and free & nice & good & ignorant…. everyone abandoned me …”
