Hhmm... DARLING!!
The block saga seemed to come out of the blue, and was one of the few times we’ve seen a return of the classic, raging Chris.
(Well actually: Raging Chris, Begging Chris, Woe is Me Chris & Internet Crusader Chris... We got the whole spectrum of classic Chris!)
Chris has grown more resilient to trolling over the years. Most weens fucking with him, or telling him the merge isn’t real rolls right off like water off a ducks back.
But the block saga hit him right dead center at his huge sense of entitlement. Chris can’t stand being told no or told he’s unwanted.
Especially when he feels he has earned it.
(He felt he earned Megan’s China by creeping on her and buying her things, and is still pissed off about that rejection. With Doopie and the rest, he felt he had earned their attention not just with $$ but also by being “kind and empathetic”.)
Which brings us to:
But it makes me think this is what happens when you're raised without the rod. Be it your parents giving you a belt or a slap for going way off the mark, or a school bully giving you a right hook, we all usually have that time when we learn actions have consequences.
Chris never learned “NO!” as a kid, and that’s where his parents failed him. Every shitty drawing was praised to the heavens, every time he wanted a toy, he got it.
Which is why Chris, 30 years later still haven’t learned to deal with it, when he wants his grubby paws on Doopie or “Pony analysts” and is told to take a hike.
Chris has always had an interest in magic and shit, and I think when he was going through stuff to sell a few years ago, he found a little baggy of rocks that his dad bought him when he was a kid (I can't remember when the post was, but I'm going to assume it was around 2017, maybe as early as 2016 or 2015; they were definitely out of the rental, though). With all of the merge shit/magical thinking/maladaptive daydreaming since then, it's only grown stronger.
Yeah. Chris loves shortcuts and taking the easy way. Which is why he’s a sucker for all sorts of magical BS.
(Remember, he even though his Curseyehameha was serious fucking business, even before trolls had ever heard of him.)
Plus he has probably watched more than his fair share of pseudo scientific/paranormal garbage on TV.
Back or headaches because of your shitty lifestyle?
“Mhmm this opal will cu-will help with that!”
Acid reflux because of an awful diet? Why change what you eat, when another rock will bring balance to your digestive system?
