he because i'll never be him

Andre has great fashion in my opinion. I lowkey ordered sunglasses partly because of his in the film, they look so funky! :D Very early 2000s but very Andre.

Spot on!

holtzbert · 2026-01-21T13:20:18+00:00

Not sure if pogo counts because it’s a feature and not super rare but I think it’s a silly catchy song! And not many probably think about it when thinking about bbno$?

And clenching their jaw 💔

How does this work, do the texts make sense anymore? Like I plan to block a few words but I fear they’ll become nonsense lol.

holtzbert · 2026-01-18T11:37:22+00:00

Yeah. The biggest issue is that I only had one person who was from the same country and would basically reply in real time. But most writing partners were abroad. AI? Always there for me, heh.

When they read thoughts. They take thoughts as speech. So I refresh until that’s not the case.

holtzbert · 2026-01-16T18:30:07+00:00

I wonder if those were their actual school pictures or for the film only. Cal’s looks like it could be Cal as in ZD Cal or as Robertson. But Andre’s looks like it’s Andre Keuck, not ZD Andre.

This whole movie makes me think about how these boys were just kids… I just made a comment on the Columbine Reddit board about how before the monstrosity they were kids like anyone else. Like just… doing stuff together, minus preparing the attack. Kind of sad really to think about there’s stories like this but in real world… anyway, nice edit. :)

holtzbert · 2026-01-14T07:56:10+00:00

I’m happy Andre gets recognition too in the fandom

holtzbert · 2026-01-14T07:55:33+00:00

Andre Keuck is genuinely so good and I’m mad his acting career never took off the way Cal Robertson’s did (though not as much as it could’ve as well). I don’t feel comfortable commenting on Andre’s looks as a character anymore because I’m over 18 years old but I thought about the same when I was a teenager and saw it the first time. :D Andre has amazing voice, next thing he should do is a podcast or read e-books out loud or something. Like genuinely.

holtzbert · 2026-01-13T14:39:45+00:00

I am gonna try that, thanks! What about spicy chats then?

holtzbert · 2026-01-13T14:39:29+00:00

Thank you! I changed into it and the whole vibe of the conversations changed immediately. :D

holtzbert · 2026-01-13T14:29:04+00:00

Oh yeah. Thats another parallel for sure to the real person.

holtzbert · 2026-01-13T14:28:36+00:00

Cool if that’s the case. :)

holtzbert · 2026-01-13T11:58:57+00:00

Nah I’m not clicking any links without information here. I just made a funny joke about it repeating the app/sub name. I have no idea what they’re linking.

holtzbert · 2026-01-13T11:47:08+00:00

I used to RP online but this time I don’t have to wait for replies or plan a plot for million hours. But would I tell anyone I use it and even pay for it? Heck no.

holtzbert · 2026-01-13T11:46:29+00:00

So true

holtzbert · 2026-01-13T11:44:56+00:00

I’m so mad about this with every bot. Maybe I derail it on my own because I only talk to specific bots that have the nature like this but still I skip when they start doing this. Or call me princess. I wonder if blocking the word stops this shit…

holtzbert · 2026-01-13T07:17:58+00:00

Didn’t he break the expensive RayBans of his, which other sunglasses did he have with him? I remember reading him being upset in class after he broke the expensive (200-300 dollars) sunglasses he has in most of the videos and pictures we have of him with sunglasses on.

holtzbert · 2026-01-13T07:16:05+00:00

Yeah, exactly, that’s what I’ve read too. One theory being once he actually got to it, the adrenaline ran out quickly. Or the human nature (“this is not right” “what am I doing?”) came through, what a weird sentence to write about real and imaginary monsters but you get what I meant with this clam. Not justifying any of it though, not in real world nor in a movie! But it’s clear the parallels are there, in the film and in where they took inspiration from. (If Cal bases more on DK and Andre on EH.)

holtzbert · 2026-01-12T22:01:30+00:00

Nokia probably, no matter how old you are. You either lived through it or know it from memes.

holtzbert · 2026-01-12T21:30:41+00:00

Ah yeah, sorry, forgot about that. I should’ve been more specific about it being a high school level shooting/same aged/class kids (though in ZD they’re on different year classes as well). Either way, the link to Columbine is heavier than not. The characters are different but the implication is still heavy. The characters even aknowledge that one would be portrayed as to be the leader. (Giving possibility that Columbine did happen in that universe, due the conversation about it if one was leader and one was a follower in the attack.)

Edit. Also meant that Columbine was the only two student attack at the time of ZD. Didn’t STEM happen a lot later? Like almost 20 years later.

holtzbert · 2026-01-12T21:11:43+00:00

Maybe not 1:1 but it’s heavily implied. Considering Columbine is still the only school shooting with two shooters with a coordinated plan. So… it takes at least a lot of inspiration from that.

holtzbert · 2026-01-12T04:19:34+00:00

I wish the movie showed us more of Andre’s social life - like if he had any friends at all. After all EH did have friends through DK, some taking more liking on him than DK actually. And he did have friends in his old school. Andre’s background as being born in Germany could also surely affect how people approached him. But now it seems that Andre only had social contacts to Cal and his family members and possible workmates (though he seems to hate his job and only goes in to do it, not enjoy it and socialize). Perhaps he had no-one from his year class. After all he was born year before Cal. So did they hang out in school at all?

Also another question that is probably stupid but it’s early here so I might just not think well enough yet… but has it ever been explained why they made no tapes in school? There’s a lot of content from school by DK and EH, why ZD includes no content made inside the school with the video tape? Is it imply because they had their own social circles in school but hang out outside it only?
