Well, when you see yourself as this hunksicle, it's hard to talk yourself down from it.
Evidence that Chris's denial is progressive. Here he is in the first issue of
Sonichu:
By issue three:
While the argument can be made that Chris's art style had impro .... well, had begun to suck in a somewhat different manner, his depiction of himself clearly acknowledges his widening Buddha-belly. By ish 3, he's downright skinny, and wouldn't be getting "muscular" until around the time that Ivy showed up, unless I'm wrong. By that time, a number of trolls would have repeatedly told him he was fat. I think that his "svelte" look grew out of a response to that, as well as an attempt to appear physically intimidating to the trolls.

Would it kill him to attempt an expression in some of his pictures? I know he isn't good at them, but Godbear, show some teeth, open your eyes a little. There must be a middle ground between manic loon and suffered a stroke.
Oh, no no. Not happening. Chris had (supposedly) been told that he was looking too dour in his facebook pics about a year ago. Chris responded:
Yes, but it is hard for me to be happy or smiley when I don't Feel happy.
This was back in the days when Chris was outright
frowning in his pics. The best he would do to straighten up his face was either a tired-looking smile, or just a sort of straight-lipped, somewhat blank stare into the camera - faces he continues to make to this day. Christian Chandler is composed of two elements, carbon and entitlement. Wrap that sense of entitlement in a history of getting whatever he wanted in a rush, and douse it in a steady stream of increasing desperation, and what you end up with is someone who is used to being served, but cannot get what he desires. Chris is frowning in order to broadcast to the world not merely his unhappiness, but his neediness as well.
Its interesting, but in a subtle way, Chris is admitting defeat and calling for assistance.
