Money Financhu Crisis / Chris sells his stuff megathread

[An Ghost]

Are you @The Captain's secretary or something? Do I need to set up an appointment?

Well you replied to me so I replied to you. I dunno how you expect the captain to reply when last seen an hour ago.

Calm down.

Calm down.

I'm sorry, I was trying to acknowledge the information you provided, while also getting further details from @The Captain, who I am assuming will be back on the website at some point in the future, and will be able to answer questions.

i hope chris falls down the stairs at 14 branchland ct and dies of a heart attack

We should have a rating that's the opposite of :late: for "soon".

 

[Will you be my fwiend?]

" Half the time it ends up with Chris pissing someone off enough that they become a twoll too.

Chris talking about his pets not getting fed with all of his toys in the background is the first time I've kind of missed the golden era of Chris fuckery.

I hope he falls over and dies from being fat and then is eaten by semi-feral cats and dogs that haven't been fed in weeks because he bought Funko pops with the pet food money.

But if that happens, how will he be raped and murdered in prison?

 

[LagoonaBlue]

This is great because its modern evidence of something twolls have been figuring out for a decade. Chris is an ungrateful asshole and will never appreciate anything anyone does for him. No matter sympathetic a situation may make him, he will find a way to show himself as such an asshole that the audience will say "eh, yeah, but he deserved it." Half the time it ends up with Chris pissing someone off enough that they become a twoll too.

Because as has been said before, mum coddled him and believed he was a precious little boy who could do no wrong. Chris was her golden child, and this is evident in chris' behaviour as of recent.

Can chris be fixed? Helped? Made better?

 

[RustyNail(her)]

Can chris be fixed? Helped? Made better?

Why in the world would he want anything to change? He's loving this. He thinks he's a celebrity and Null & crew are his assistants and instead of trollbusting they're really just there to keep unimportant people away and do tasks for him. The trolls are now at arms length. The hardest thing he has to do is mail out his eBay items which he does so late he gets negative feedback. He gets to go around dressed like an 8 yr old girl and care only about cartoons and whatever depraved crazy shit is going on in his make believe world. Financials are taken care of by tax dollars and paypigs. He eats and looks like crap. Lives in squalor but you don't see him doing anything about it. He thinks YouTube is ChrisTV and he's hosting an autistic version of UHF.

He's living the life right now. He doesn't want anything to change. He got a free trip to Bronycon and got to unleash his autism for a whole weekend without any hint of real world trouble or people making fun of him. When his car broke down it was all taken care of for him and he skipped around his car singing a haunting melody while waiting for a tow truck, instead of anxioisly wondering if shit is going to work out like a normal person.

Possibly, though not to the extent everyone wants/expects.

 

[TrippinKahlua]

So Chris spends 2k at Bronycon and this blindsighted The Captain.

 

[Mason Verger]

As dumb as the bronycon spending was, I can almost give it a pass as its a once a year thing that's pretty much designed to part money from adult children.

The spending that I find completely frivolous was all that "art" he commissioned in the beginning of the month. $100+ of pony wank drawings is a fucking ridiculous thing to spend on when you're head is barely above water from one week to the next. He could've just asked one of his fans to draw it for free.

It's going to be a long 2 weeks till the next tugboat, but we all know he'll sell some random bit of trash from the hoard or some fuckwit will bail him out.

 

[Holiday Special]

I just noticed Chris buys Mr Rogers stamps. Is this something people have noticed before? I think it's fucking adorable.

I bought them too. Its one of the special stamps at the Post Office recently, plus Mr Rogers kicks ass.

 

[The Captain]

Okay. @The Captain is that the only time you helped out Chris financially? How much time do you spend doing favors for him, like promoting his eBay?

I didn't provide a dime at the gas station. The only time I've ever sent Chris money was $200 for the class ring, which I intended to take to my local coin gallery and exchange for melt value (roughly $500). Having the ring led to my discovery of Joshua Wise and Stephen Boyd. I subsequently returned the ring to Chris when he gave me a full refund. Chris has received a total of $0.00 from me - I don't know why folks keep assuming I'm his personal bank account. I've been working pretty much in tandem with @Marvin throughout all of this with a couple of exceptions. If you still think I'm sending Chris money, ask him. Neither of us have given him a cent in donations or "free money".

Chris didn't know what to do at the gas station, so I told him to call his insurance company. He asked me to post to Twitter on his behalf, which is where the two "Designated Representative" Tweets came from. He got a couple donations nearly instantly that took care of his tow truck fee and got him home.

Had I known that Miss Cherry's 2k in donations ALL went to Bronycon, my only reply would've been "Call your mother." during the gas station fiasco. I was of the understanding at the time that it was going directly into car repairs and other bills, with a little bit left over for Con swag. Boy, I was wrong.

 

[Pony Horn]

From the stuck at gas station thread. $100.

Are you answering for yourself or for @The Captain? Because you said you gave Chris the $100 he needed for towing.

Why in the world would he want anything to change? He's loving this. He thinks he's a celebrity and Null & crew are his assistants and instead of trollbusting they're really just there to keep unimportant people away and do tasks for him.

Exactly. Why should Chris want to change when he's already getting all the help and money he wants on his own terms?

 

[Count Olaf]

The AirBNB, con admission, etc. was booked and paid for prior to the 2k donation.

Every cent of the 2k went to Bronycon tat.

I didn't provide a dime at the gas station. The only time I've ever sent Chris money was $200 for the class ring, which I intended to take to my local coin gallery and exchange for melt value (roughly $500).

Wow. I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt just a little bit thinking that he at least didn't spend ALL of it on swag, but WOW. I don't even know why I'm still surprised at it. This is what, the second or third (maybe the fourth) time he's received a four figure donation and wasted all of it on frivolities. I wish I could just hold out my hand and have people send me money like that.

Anyway Is this the final line in the sand for you then? You never answered my question about that before. Or maybe you did and I missed it, in which case, my bad.

Chris at least feigns gratitude. He says "thank you" if you give him something. He is very entitled for being a fat poor white trash loser with no talent and an IQ around 85. Is this his problem with money? I do not think so.

For an unknown reason, Chris only thinks about right now this instant. He has no priorities. He has no savings. He has no understanding of how liabilities will affect his finances next month. He takes on future debts to cover present obligations and then ignores those new obligations when they come due (like eBay items he never sends out). He takes on more debt so he can fulfill old ones while continually becoming worse off. He loses money on sales and "promotions". He does not care because the only time that matters is now NOW NOW!!! He could avoid a lot of these issues by simply tossing $25/month into a savings account only used in serious emergencies. It would not be much--only $3000 after 10 years--but it would be something. Does he do this? Of course not. Spend spend spend right now on stuff he really has to have so it can sit in piles in his room.

But it has never really mattered because somehow everything works out. Maybe it is because CWC, Nightstar, goddess Blue Heart, comic world Christine, and Chris Chan Sonichu, as well as his husband, Magi-chan, can all see the future so they know what will happen. He knows he will have problems, but Chris can also see that his paypal will overflow immediately after. Why avoid the issue when your psychic abilities have told you that everything will be okay? Or maybe he is just stupid. Who can really say?

Can chris be fixed? Helped? Made better?

Probably not. Chris is sort of a Mr. Toad without the money. He might changed if forced, say, like, if the "weasel" bank takes over Chandler Hall, but he lacks a Mr. Badger, Rat, or Mole to help him out. Chris will continue barely getting by until he cannot, then will probably go insane and be put away.

Bronycon being cancelled will be the best thing to happen for Chris financially since the tugboat. I doubt he spends that much at the other cons. Ponies are his heroin.

The amount he spends on BronyCon has no real bearing on his overall finances. If he needs $2000 for a convention, he begs and sells until he gets $2000. He will not have $2000 left over now. His finances are a loose take on zero based budgeting. If he needs it, he begs or sells to get it. If not, then he does nothing.

If it's Miss Cherry's, then Chris is still an idiot, but I hope it sticks in the craw of that moron who swindled themselves out of all that money to "troll" Chris by buying him plastic poners.
