do you know what dylan’s ascendant sign was?

Dylan’s Ascendant (or Rising Sign) is Libra.

A little background on The Rising Sign or Ascendant:  It is ‘the mask’ of the persona, and the first impression we make on those we meet. It could be said that the qualities of the sign that was rising on the eastern horizon imprints on the outer self as we emerge into the world. After that, each time we encounter a new situation or person, this is the “face” we reveal. If you’ve ever been puzzled by how others describe you, it could be that they’ve encountered your Rising sign qualities. It’s the image facing outward, and might not be how you see yourself at all. It is the front door of the self, but as much a part of the personality as the Sun sign.

By comparison, your Sun Sign describes your basic nature and the core personality traits that remain constant through the ups and downs of life. It is the image you shine out to the world, but it comes from that truest, innermost part of you. The Sun Sign describes your unique personal center.

However, even though Dylan’s Sun Sign is Virgo, he presents more like a Libra in vibe. Why?  This is because in addition to his Libra Ascendant, he also has five other planets in Libra as well. (This will be in another post I’m working on.) Heavily influenced by Libra as well as his moon (emotions/feelings) in Aquarius. One could say his astrological natal chart is dominated by Air.   It’s no wonder he could not turn off the mental energy and was often thinking a ‘shit loads of El Thoughtz’ 24/7. 

If you read the description below, you’ll see how much Dylan’s Libra Rising corroborates Sue Klebold’s own descriptions of her son Pt 1_Pt 2_ Pt 3_Pt 4 as being a good listener and also being flexible, easily persuaded to change his mind to another person’s point of view.  Acceptance and approval met everything to Dylan; loyalty to friends meant he came across as essentially easy-going or ‘chill’, soft spoken, respectful, not the sort to make waves, or burn bridges with established friendships.  At one point, he was in the midst of a moral dilemma concerned the safety of his childhood friend, Brooks Brown, concerning the death threats on Eric’s website.  He made the risky decision to secretly tip off Brooks with the website link on a piece of paper and specified that Brooks should not divulge where he got the information.  As the Libran ‘middle man’ caught between the feud of his two good friends, Dylan was able to circumvent potential disharmony with Eric yet also warn Brooks to keep him safe. Brooks also mentioned in ‘No Easy Answers’ that Dylan seemed relieved when Brooks and Eric finally made up and there was peace again between them.

Libra Ascendant/Rising Sign Traits:

“You are a natural diplomat, reasonable, tolerant, fair, always willing to listen to varying viewpoints, and ready to see the other side of an issue. Even if you strongly disagree with someone, you will try to find points of similarity and agreement rather than emphasizing the differences. You often avoid taking an extreme or one-sided stance on anything. You have a strong desire for harmonious and pleasant relationships, and express a spirit of cooperation, compromise, friendship, and fairness. You very much want to be liked and because of your need for approval and acceptance, you are easily influenced by others’ opinions, especially when young. You so much want to please that often you will suppress your own intense or unpleasant feelings in order not to offend others. Sometimes your politeness is interpreted as phoniness or wishy-washiness.

Your need to create harmony extends to your physical environment and personal appearance as well. You appreciate beauty and have a natural sense of balance, symmetry, and proportion. You do everything in good taste, with a sense of style and art. From your home furnishings to your choice of clothing, everything must be aesthetically appealing, not simply functional or utilitarian.

You also feel that relationships are an art, one that especially interests you and one that you are usually quite skilled at, for you possess tact and acute awareness of other people. Marriage is very significant to you and finding the right person to share your life with is extremely important. Being part of a close couple seems natural to you – you are not an independent loner. Having a partner increases your self-confidence. You do have a tendency, however, to become overly dependent on your partner and perhaps not to develop a clearly defined identity outside of the relationship. Finding the balance between being yourself and blending and uniting with another is a challenge for you.

Others see you as an agreeable, smooth, harmonious, and "nice” person. Though there may be much more to you, this is the sort of face you show to the world. You possess personal charm and an understated, noncombative manner. Your motto could be “you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar” for you usually take a friendly, cooperative approach rather than a strong, forceful, I’m-going-to-conquer-the-world attitude.“

Hi, I love your blog. I was just curious if you knew why they would use Beanie Babies to hide Dylan’s wounds in the coffin when he supposedly hated Beanie Babies?

Beanie Babies was a big thing in the nineties.  Dylan may have mentioned to Devon that he hated Beanie Babies but since he knew she liked them, he bestowed one on her as his last birthday gift to her.  His parents, however, may not have even known that Dylan hated Beanie Babies.  I can see there being that typical sort of disconnect of parents not knowing a plethora of mundane likes/dislikes of their own teenage son. They simply decided upon something child-like comforting to surround the bullet hole on their son’s head for the funeral. We also don’t know how many of his stuffed animals they kept from when he was a child so maybe it was a mix of Beanie Babies and his own stuffed animals? But you can just picture Dylan’s *eye roll* as his spirit looked down on his engulfed Beanie Babies head at the funeral, can’t you? Yep. an infinince of damnation even after death. That sounds like a one-shot fic right there. heh.

Dylan and Eric would talk about how much they despised athletes – the way they carried themselves, their attitude of entitlement. The way they got all the hottest girls. How about that enormous wrestler, six feet four inches of subtlety, who drove a fucking Humvee to school! Who switched to a Viper coupe when he got tired of the Humvee! “Dylan would say, ‘I hate jocks,’ ” says Sarah Slater. ” ‘They’re fucking ignorant,’ ”

The Trident is associated with Poseidon, the god of the sea in Greek mythology, the Roman god Neptune, and Shiva, a Hindu God who holds a trident in his hand. In Hindu legends and stories, Shiva uses this sacred weapon to fight off negativity in the form of evil villains. The trident represents the deity in his three aspects of creator, preserver and destroyer.

In Greek myth, Poseidon used his trident to create water sources in Greece and the horse. Poseidon, as well as being god of the sea, was also known as the “Earth Shaker” because when he struck the earth in anger he caused mighty earthquakes and he used his trident to stir up tidal waves, tsunamis and sea storms.

In Roman myth, Neptune also used a trident to create new bodies of water and cause earthquakes.

In the popular role-playing game Dungeons and Dragons, the trident is available as a weapon.

“TRIDENT” is a small hellish level for Doom 2.

You could call Dylan a thespian. Beginning with a production of Bye Bye Birdie his freshman year, Dylan ran sound on a number of school shows, including Oklahoma! and Frankenstein this year. Sometimes he worked alongside one of his close friends. “Dylan and [the friend (likely Zach Heckler)] would drink during plays,” says Sarah Slater “They would bring in Aftershock [a potent cinnamon-flavored spirit] while Dylan did sound. They wouldn’t do it every time, and they wouldn’t get drunk. They would go somewhere else and get drunk.”

Columbine: Humiliation and Revenge – The story of Reb and VoDKa [Part 1]

During his years at Columbine, though, Eric spent the majority of his time with a tall, gawky kid with a big beak and a Jay Leno chin named Dylan Klebold. Dylan often seemed sad, at least around people he didn’t know well. He didn’t talk much. On those rare occasions when he did, he addressed the floor. “He had a lot of pain – he told me that,” says his friend Sarah Slater, 16. “I think that’s part of the reason he snapped, or followed somebody like Eric. Knowing Dylan, I don’t think he would ever do something like that without the influence of a kid like Eric. I’ve heard crazy stories about this Eric Harris kid: ‘Stay away from him. He’s no good.’

Dylan tended to get weepy when he drank – at house parties or parties up in Deer Creek Canyon, in the foothills of the Rockies, which preside over Littleton, and upper-middle-class suburb south of Denver, a burb where no development is finished until the word KNOLLS or MEADOWS is written on a sign out front. The tears were about girls. Dylan wanted a girlfriend but didn’t date much. His escort to the senior prom, Robyn Anderson, was a platonic friend. Uma Thurman was Dylan’s dream girl. Dylan was VoDkA, after his cocktail of choice.

Dylan had a difficult time communicating with them, but he is getting better. Dylan said he got a long with his parents “better than most kids.” Dylan was comfortable bringing friends over to his house. When he had problems, which generally meant his grades, he turned to his parents. Dylan felt Tom and Sue were loving, dependable, and trustworthy. Both were equally supportive because they “encourage me to suceed.”

Andrea Sanchez (diversion counselor) about Dylan and his relationship to his parents

from Jeff Kass “Columbine – a true crime story”

(via peoplearesounaware)

Dylan hated Beanie Babies but for Christmas 1998, four months before Columbine, he bought [Devon Adams] one that was gray, white, and black. “Needless to say, I’ve collected anteaters ever since,” she says. After Columbine, she toted the Beanie Baby across the country when she spoke on gun control alongside Tom Mauser, whose son Daniel was killed at Columbine.

As he preached, Marxhausen could see Dylan, laid out before him in an open coffin. A small mountain of beanie babies was piled around the boy’s head, covering the self-administered wound that killed him. It was Saturday, four days after the shootings.

marla what the hell 

Holy shit thats marla foust????

Maybe if Dylan saw these he would have rethought a couple things lol

“from her good body to almost perfect face”
I don’t think Dylan would like this…that definitive isn’t anymore the shy, innocent and pure girl he once admired.

Eric would have liked her, she is sexy;))

Dylan would have jerked off to her pics but he wouldn’t have fallen for her looking like this.

Love the convos. 😉 If Dylan had gone to college for a few years and met her during her modeling years (these pics are mid 2000s) in their twenties and she was still friendly to him, yeah I think he wouldn’t at all be turning her down. 😉 Marla isn’t posing cheesecake bikini on a daily basis. She is a very sporty, active girl that does hiking and skiing, down-to- earth in jeans and whatnot. She isn’t a perfect barbie type either and her face is ‘not quite perfect’ just as he puts it. She has distinct facial features that makes it easy to identify her even now in comparison to her pure, plain school photo. She probably would have been a good opposite of himself to bring him out of his shell.

Dylan the asshole: the Adam Kyler story

burnandraveatcloseofday:

Dylan could kind of be a dick at times, shall we say.

Adam Kyler, sophomore during the 1998-1999 school year. He was in the cafeteria before the massacre started, at the same table with Kyle Velasquez (who apparently went to the library afterward, where he would be shot to death by Dylan)….

Great post! It’s been speculated on a Columbine forum whether Dylan had some sort of subconscious issues with special needs kids and finding some sort of perverse enjoyment out of making them an easy target to victimize. (His first pick off in the library was Kyle Valesquez, who supposedly did not have the sense to hide.) The speculation is that Dylan somehow felt slighted/ cheated by his mother’s career which focused her attention specifically on special needs students and so there was, on some level, a sort of competition for focused attention. I’m not convinced and it’s a slightly convoluted theory. Of course, regardless of any deep seated issues Dylan may have had, there isn’t ever really a good justification for bullying and screwing up someone else’s self esteem. In short, you could simply say he displaced the bullying that was dumped on himself by going after those he considered more vulnerable and easy to attack (additionally, certain girls in gym class and teachers that were easily frazzled.) Thankfully, Adam had Rachel’s random act of kindness extended to him to keep him afloat and break the perpetual cycle!

Dylan the asshole: the Adam Kyler story

h4le-bopp:

Why I think it was Dylan who wrote „Just a day“:

There is a lot of speculation about who of the boys wrote that small piece “Just a day”. It even does not seem clear where it was found- some sources say it was found among Dylan’s school works. Other sources say, it was found on Eric’s Computer.
Most sources seem to come to the conclusion, that it was Eric who wrote it. I think that this is very unlikely and I want to explain why.

At first, whoever wrote that piece used the word “halcyon” on one occasion. As most of you will know, this word was fundamental to Dylan’s worldview and his fantasies about other dimensions and realities, where he hoped to find pure bliss and happiness.
Eric, however, does not use this word a single time in his writings. Not even that, but the whole concept of what this word represents, is absolutely contrary to his worldview. Eric celebrated war, destruction, animalistic instincts and brutality. It is hard to see why he should use a word that means something like “peaceful” in a positive way.
Another clue is that whoever wrote that piece does describe his brother in negative terms:
“I always remember my brother trying to impress everyone, and myself thinking what a waste of time that would be”.
Despite that fact, that both had older brothers, only one of them is known to talk about his sibling in negative terms: Dylan. Eric reportedly admired his older brother Kevin, went to his football games and if I remember correctly than he named his brother as the family-person which was most close to him, when asked after getting caught for the Van Break-In.
Dylan however told the authorities, that he didn’t have much to do with his brother anymore, since Byron got kicked out of home. And he openly judged his brother during angry rants during the Basement Tapes, telling that Byron and his friends once harassed him. Thus, the comment does not seem like anything Eric would say about his brother, but it perfectly fits into the negative attitude, Dylan had towards his brother.
The next hint is only a small detail, yet still of importance: whoever wrote that text repeatedly uses an “&” instead of “and”. Guess whose writing style is known for that? Exactly, it’s Dylan.
Also noteworthy is the concept of nature that the text expresses. The whole scenery is described as beautiful, majestic and peaceful. The writer makes detailed mention of the water and its qualities, revealing an almost mystical understanding of nature.
Now, does this fit how Eric or Dylan did understand nature? Here is, how Eric did understand nature: “the few who stick to their natural instincts are casted out as psychos or lunatics or strangers or just plain different. crazy, strange, weird, wild, these words are not bad or degrading. If humans were let to live how we would naturally, it would be chaos and anarchy and the human race wouldn’t probably last that long, but hey guess what, that’s how it’s supposed to be!!!!!”
Eric does not use the word “nature” or “natural” a single time, without putting it in a connection with war or destruction. Even when he writes about his childhood times, where he played in the woods, he turns the essay into a description of him participating in a war.
Dylan, however, was obsessed with peacefulness, bliss and beauty. He desperately longed for such an existence. He also had a very mystical understanding of the world, as we exemplarily can see in the way he used symbols like the Chaos-star, the Thought Boxes etc. as representations of forces.

If we consider all of this- does it seem likely that Eric wrote this essay? I don’t think so.

I completely agree with you and for all the well thought out reasoning you’ve stated. Halcyon is a pretty key word that sticks out. We pretty much know Eric is not big on unusual word flourishes in his essays – he’s pretty straightforward. Yes, sure, the boys both knew the song ‘Halcyon, On and On’ from Orbital but this word is only ever exercised by Dylan. If you read all of Eric’s essays, his writing style doesn’t boldly interject the use of unusual vocabs. Additionally, the slam dunk for me, is all the passive-aggressive use of expletives like ‘a$$holes’, etc. Particularly if this is a school essay, we all know Dylan always got himself in trouble for having selective amnesia over the fact that teachers dislike the use of curse words in school assignments! Yet, Dyl keeps right on doing it. Kind of a: “Oh, yeah. I’m sorry Mrs. Kelly, I forgot about that – FUCK!” That’s part of his personality charm. 😉 Even if this was a doc found on Eric’s computer, it’s not a deal breaker to conclude that it simply must be Eric’s. it could easily imply that Dylan completed a short assignment on his friend’s computer while spending time over his friend’s house. Of course in the ’90s, kids didn’t have their own laptops or devices to work on homework at friend’s homes.
