Prison Letters Chris and Kengle Prison Letter Megathread

That line where Chris is making demands for Kengle to contact Biden is hilarious, because everyone knows that the president will look at the letter, and tell Chris to rot. If anything, Chris should be dumped in solitary confinement, with nothing but his glasses and his blanket for a couple weeks, but then again, Chris wouldn't change. And yeah, as soon as Chris gets released from prison, Barb may want to consider changing the locks on the front door and hide, because we all know Chris will want to cleanse her of her sins.
Jesus cleansing people of their sins:
"Yeah I'l wash your feet and eat with you. I'll cast demons out of your ailing brother right now. What's that? You're a disgusting tax collector? Come with me bro, all are welcome in the kingdom of God."

Chris cleansing people of their sins:
"Hmmm, let me... uh... let me comeuppance in that Barbussy."

What sins was Christ trying to cleanse anyway? Either Barb was crying about her failures in life and Chris wanted to shut her up, or Chris is just coming up with bullshit so he can fool himself into forgetting he raped his mom cause no one else wants to fuck him.
 
I do agree with the idea that it is reductionist to point to a single event but I do think that if I want to point to a single event anyways as being highly formative it is GODBEAR. Chris has always had a very weak sense of self and a weak sense of boundaries between himself and his environment. After being renamed he has constantly been coming up with new names for himself like Ricardo. Now it is even more obvious as he comes up with new names every week. Christine CPU Goddess Blueheart Sonichu Jesus blah blah blah.

His idea of self is so lacking he constantly looks to his environment for something to mirror. I don't know if that's a symptom of tism or just a symptom of being Chris but his parents changing his name on a whim can't have been a good formative event.
I think you're on the right track and I'm absolutely no psychologist myself, but while I don't think Godbear exactly was the formative moment in the way you describe, Chris trying to overcome a self-image problem does sound applicable.

Namely, there is exactly one person Chris doesn't want to be and that's Christian Weston Chandler. He wants more control over everything in his life because he doesn't have the mental capacity to properly deal with nothing going his way, or really that he expects too much at all times which leads back to 'nothing going his way'. However, instead of backing down, he ramps up every single time. It's how we've gotten to him pretending to be the second coming of Jesus because that's what Chris wants to be - somebody who has suffered unimaginable, grievous injury (yeah, like being punished for incest and stealing money from his mother is comparable to being crucified) that comes back from it and is treated nicely by everyone afterward. I think maybe that's why he latched onto the Blue Heart/Commodore 64 Neptunia thing, he was literally shoving himself into an existing pantheon in an unfilled slot (since there's a reason old shit like the Commodore 64 didn't get a canon Neptunia girl...I don't think there's one at least) in an attempt to legitimatize himself as something greater.

After all, Chris still thinks along the lines of Who Framed Rodger Rabbit and that the cartoon universe is real.

The way I interpret it is that he's trying to be the annoying kid in roleplay who says shit like "You can't shoot me I have a bulletproof vest!" and then ramps up the imaginary protection even further until he becomes a goddess. He started of with yelling that he had the "Great Director Powers" to Sean Watley during the Simonla arc and just escalated from there. What makes this damaging is that he starts fooling himself into believing his imaginary protection is real.
 
You're not going to pay Chris(t) a visit, Mariposa? It doesn't have to be sick Sockness-like shit, but you could at least go hang out and play cards with him.
I don't believe Jesus was real in the literal sense. There was a man named Jesus, but he was just a normal man.

I always wondered if he did shit like "you can't harm me because I am covered by a powerful forcefield" only to be given five across the face or a kick to the gunt. I'm guessing Chris' reaction would be going into hedgehog defense mode.
 
It's 2009. A young mother stands over her son's hospital bed in the ICU. She knows it's important to listen to what the doctor is telling her, but it's as if her mind refuses to take in the magnitude of what he is saying.

Outside, she knows her husband is talking to the administrators about the bill. Six months ago he lost his job in finance. Their health insurance is gone, their savings wiped out.

Hot tears spill from the corners of her eyes. Her thumb goes to the small gold crucifix at her throat-- a gift from her long dead mother.

For the first time in years, she prays. "God, I know I haven't been the best Christian, but please, PLEASE spare my son."

Meanwhile, in Ruckersville Virginia, Our Lord and Savior is balls deep inside His sex doll. His erratic, weak thrusts stop as the poor woman's prayer reaches His psyche. He pauses a minute to consider her plight before spilling His autistic seed inside the plastic simulacrum of a human vagina.

Meanwhile, at the hospital bed, the mother looks to the heavens. For the first time, she clearly hears His Voice, our Lord and Savior:

"Julaayy. Julaaaaay"
