5 ½ years ago i really got into true crime for the first time (beyond surface level knowledge). within the period from then to now i dropped out of school, went on and off prozac, had two psychedelic trips, started and stopped smoking pot, had two relationships, had my first jobs, was in a shoegaze band and got 13 tattoos. i'm an entirely different person, you can't tell me the only constant in my life is a bunch of mentally ill white dudes writing embarrassing journal entries before offing other ppl

Robyn was fat u forgetting it was the 90s of course Dylan did not wanted a fat girl with receding jawline

dylan wasn't exactly conventionally attractive either ngl ig he didn't wanna settle for her anyway, that's true

ig based on his journal, he idealized a girl until he didn't like the idea of her anymore and then got depressed and resented her

What did you think about the nihilism and existentialism displayed in the alleged manifesto of Samantha Rupnow?

i think she's a 15 y/o girl. i guess it's nihilism and existentialism on the most mundane surface level. it kind of reminds me of a lot of 2010s elfists, they don't really know what they're talking about due to mental immaturity, lack of life experience or whatever. and i wasn't different at 15, i didn't know shit about kierkegaard or nietzsche tbf even though i liked to pretend to follow those concepts and ideologies.

edit: thanks for the question!

[fransfilth]

Apologies if this link doesn’t work, but from what I’ve seen of your opinions I really agree with them regarding the manifesto. https://www.tumblr.com/shadowcanine/770179409776885760/hi-i-saw-your-post-and-would-rather-send-an-ask

If you can get that to work (or just scroll down on my page) to see the ask I sent elaborating on my opinions a bit more, I’m curious to know your thoughts. Specifically regarding my belief that Samantha is ignorant and took Eric’s journal at face value?

heyyy, i read your post/ask and from what we know now, i can't say i disagree.

i can absolutely see her having a type of idealized 'reb' version of eric in her head based on his journal entries

however i guess it's less ignorance and more juvenile lack of understanding. noone who's genuinely introspective would be able to idealize someone like eric harris to this extent. might be a lack for comparison and social/intellectual experience mixed with mental health issues that caused her to put eric on that pedestal.

she seemed to be quite isolated so she was probably just hyperfocused on the version of eric she'd made up in her head as the journal entries gave the illusion of intimacy and portraying the 'real him'. i don't think she purposefully misinterpreted it though to fit her agenda or something, i genuinely feel like she was just an unwell kid who couldn't really differentiate.

tysm for the ask, i'm always happy to have an excuse to ramble a little :) i hope you can make sense of whatever i've been trying to articulate

[fransfilth]

Do you also feel that impending sense of doom

dooming away all day every day my friend

[fransfilth]

pretty please come back

i'm not gone, i'm always there, lurking :)) i don't do as much research rn bc i'm kinda occupied w work and irl friends but u can always submit cases that u think r cool, even though w some (especially german ones like the coburg and ansbach shootings ) i can't find as much info because they're either too close to other shootings or might inspire copycats so they don't get as much coverage as others.

[fransfilth]

btw my dms are open to anyone because sometimes people are like "sorry in advance i don't mean to bother you" (maybe i don't seem approachable idk) GUYS PLS i love getting dms and talking about cases and literally anything else

you can also add my discord but i currently don't check it as much bc it's a new account with like zero friends lol

[fransfilth]

"Damn, Eric! That boy pussy tight asf😭🤣"

probably i mean have you seen his to do list where "get laid" absolutely wasn't crossed out

[fransfilth]

hi. i'm the anon who talked about the ansbach attacker and eslov/kristianstad. wanted to sprinkle this in here too. BIG fucking ask incoming.

do you know about the volsk school attacker, the kerch copycat criminal? 15-yr old daniil pulkin walked into his school with an icepick and 2 defective molotovs, and brutally injured and blinded a 12-yr old girl before fleeing immediately afterward out of fear. he idolized vladislav roslyakov and also had a prior interest in columbine, which he had possibly referenced both in the shooting by the fact his shirt was a mimic of dylan's as opposed to eric's. he probably felt himself as the dylan to roslyakov's eric.

something also interesting to point out: his shirt wasn't written with something like "WRATH" or even roslyakov's "HATRED"; it was "disappointment" in the same font roslyakov used. his reasoning is that while he felt himself disappointed by the way he percieved society to treat him, he also felt that he himself was the disappointment that society hated. he was suicidal and was also a mental health patient prior to the attack.

pulkin had recorded a video before the attack and after he fled. screenshots do exist of the videos, and you can see the shirt he wore during.

wanted to tell you about this. interesting about how it was pretty much not only just a copycat, but a copycat OF a copycat. although pulkin did have inspiration from columbine, he idolized roslyakov much more than either of the columbine shooters.

felt it was fairly interesting. have a nice day.

hiii, omg i absolutely haven't been paying attention, i didn't even notice you were also gregor r. anon that's so cool! (medium long reply ahead)

i'm pretty sure i've seen the video pulkin recorded of himself and some brief infoposts about him but i never did any research myself. also did not know about the 'disappointment' thing, that's equally interesting as it's sad honestly. i feel like during the past few years there's been noticably more 'copycat of a copycat' situations, considering most columbine copycats now have a reputation and "following" of their own. i just had to think of recent colt gray making many adam lanza references (even though yes, he was also a columbiner), while adam lanza himself was definitely influenced by other perpetrators like eric and dylan or seung hui cho as well.

i assume it's due to the fact that 14 year olds nowadays will find it more easy to relate to someone who lived through the things that lead up to a mass shooting in the mid 2010s than two kids who were teenagers in the 90s, especially considering the rapid development of social media, you understand what i'm getting at. oh i actually meant to cut this short this time-

anyway thank you so much for the ask(s), i'm always pretty invested in those!!! :) take care

[fransfilth]

i really love ur profile everything matches

AAAAH tysm!!! i went all in on the daria thing, it kind of stuck since my first blog and at this point i don't have it in my to eveeer change it :) also gotta love cho!

[fransfilth]

fuckin long ask incoming but: have you ever looked into the eslöv and kristianstad school stabbings? both were swedish stabbings and both perpetrators knew each other online as friends and they both shared an interest in christchurch, which piqued my interest so much. the eslöv and kristianstad attacks were only 4-5 months apart from each other i believe, but they appear to be connected purely by the fact that both perpetrators were good friends.

this honestly reminds me of how dillon cossey, a kid alleged to have plotted an attack on his pennsylvania school had contact with pekka-eric auvinen before the jokela shooting, or william atchison knowing david ali sonboly before the munich and aztec shootings. more people need to talk abt instances where attackers or plotters actually talked with each other before their respective attacks or plots, it's a very odd phenomenon i've noticed. what do you think?

hey, absolutely no problem, i love elaborate asks! long reply ahead

i've actually looked into eslöv at some point recently, kristianstad only on a surface level, but I actually do not remember that they were related! i do remember that the eslöv attacker was somehow also related to trollhättan (even if only distantly like look it up or something).

i did however know about david sonboly, i've probably consumed hours upon hours of media about him and he was big into right-wing extremist groups. also remember pekka auvinen talking to a bunch of people that were later considered potentially threatening.

who also come to mind is elizabeth lecron who corresponded with dylann roof post-shooting and was later arrested for domestic terrorism threats, i believe.

i know there's more instances of this but my tired brain can't remember any. we know that there's a ton of copycat crimes, especially when it comes to mass attacks where the perpetrators get a ton of attention and media coverage (opposed to, for instance, a man killing his ex girlfriend out of jealous which would get a week of coverage and then be forgotten about by most people).

i guess it's especially "tempting" for people in those social bubbles to see someone, they were personally conversating with, to get this type of attention and to achieve something that they themselves have most likely been fantasizing about. i like to think it's because mental illness at its core is sort of competitive for some people, even if only subconsciously, people are gonna wanna "out-do" or at the very least match other people's twisted thoughts and behavior. (think about sh being triggered by seeing other people's sh or eds being triggered by seeing someone skinny)

then again this is just my on the spot surface level observation i came up with in my tired head, so if anything is incoherent or sounds stupid i'm very sorry, i just sort of felt like rambling, thank u so much for the ask tho anon, it's so interesting honestly
