Christmas at 14BC?

[Holdek]

In all honesty, if I could choose to get coal for Christmas, I would. Coal sells for a good price, and if I'm lucky, it could be pressed into diamonds.

I think only Superman can do that.

I'd like to imagine that Chris would take the opportunity to clean the house up and get rid of the horde.

Chris

Clean



This is the guy whos room looks like this

He clearly inherited Barb's hoarding gene, though I suspect the autism only amplified it.

Compared to the rest of the house, that's like a clean-room at NASA.

Chris is a lot of things, most of them unpleasant, but he doesn't deserve to have his room taken away from him. The room in the picture above isn't a healthy place for a man in his early 30's to be living in, but it's a hell of a lot better than that brief glimpse of it's most current incarnation we've seen in the recent video.
If I could wish for one thing for Chris to achieve this year, it would be the realisation that he actually holds the power in the bizarre relationship he has with his mother. She needs him to fetch and carry for her, so there's really no threat she can hold over Chris that she can actually follow through with. Chris is just too dumb to realise.

Yeah, but even if someone specifically told Chris the truth about his situation, they'd need to tell him how to exploit it every step of the way. I think Chris is just too dumb to do anything with that information on his own.

Do you think that in some weird, fucked up way that Chris is dimly aware of that, and that's the reason why he's basically in the market for a girlfriend who will do everything for him? I mean obviously his ego isn't ever going to allow him to realize that he's basically too hopelessly to manage on his own, but could he subconsciously know that?

No. He's looking for a girlfriend that's essentially a Barb replacement. Although, one that gives him more freedom, of course. Chris knows he won't always have parents around to provide for him and he never planned to actually get a job himself, so he needed someone to provide for him. (And give him china and all that stuff.) And he'd be the house-husband, of course.

Christmas at 14 BLC was probably just really depressing. Barb has lost her fucking mind and never leaves the hoard, so she probably just told Chris to buy something...maybe. Food? Probably whatever they can get. Chinese? Pizza? Who knows. Probably cold fast food and Q-sands.

The fact she made him leave his room is just depressing. Sorry. I mean, it's a hoard of children's video game and TV crap but it was far better than the rest of the dump they live in. Barb's nuts. Seriously gone. I almost, almost feel bad for Chris here. Even he doesn't deserve this fate.

And I wouldn't put it past Rocky to be that special girl.

She would even fight the trolls for him. They would make an adorable couple.

Chris doesn't sleep in his room anymore?

 

[CatParty]

Nope. He spoons with barb.

 

[BALLZ-BROKEN]

Nope. He spoons with barb.

He did that when he still had his room, though

 

[Marvin]

Nope. He spoons with barb.

He did that when he still had his room, though

Yeah, but now he's doing it when he sleeps and against his will.

 

[Tubular Monkey]

I'll argue one point there. I refuse to consider that to be against his will. If Chris really wanted to change it, he could change it. The only thing preventing him from stopping it is his complete refusal to make an effort at anything. He isn't being pinned to the floor and cuddled every night by some burly muscle man. This is someone even more feeble and crazy than him.

In other words, Chris is complicit in his own misery.

Eh, people who are minors have some amount of control over their lives, but their inexperience in life invalidates the other part of their control over their life. I could have adult level conversations with some teenagers, but some of those same teenagers might really fuck up their lives and I really wouldn't hold them responsible 100% for their fuckups because they aren't adults and genuinely don't have the experience they'd need.

I've had shitloads of experience examining Chris' mental state. Lots of it private and public. I really don't regard Chris' mental state to be adult, so I don't take his stated will to be valid all of the time.

Chris is not smart enough to have valid responsibility over most of his life.

Rockys womb is barren as the Sahara she cant bare chris any children

 

[Jackolantern]

That a man in his 30s is prohibited from even having his own room is extremely depressing.

I genuinely feel bad for Chris here.

 

[Tubular Monkey]

Fair point.

 

[CatParty]

I bet bob liked to set up a model train around the tree.

Yeah, Barb is genuinely a very evil person.

 

[Hyperion]

Honestly I think Chris may have been wrongly diagnosed as High Functioning. He may be able to speak but he sure as sure doesn't know how to talk. Everything about him just screams that he's a vegetable who somehow gained mobility and the ability to harass and assault people.
