Containment Random Chris Updates

That's what I'm most afraid of now, given his current mental state. Can you imagine some kid being raised by someone who tells it about dimensions.
Luckily for everyone the only way Chris will have a daughter now is through chloroform and unattentive parents.

I always found the whole Crystal thing to be interesting. IIRC he came up with the idea when he was like 8, an age where no boy, much less a profoundly autistic one, would be thinking about having children. So I think crystal represented more of a playmate for him. A girl that couldn't move away because she HAD to stay with Chris. Then, as he got older, Crystal manifested into his twin sister, yet another girl that could never leave Chris and always be there to play games with. Connected with him so thoroughly that they even dressed alike. Chris had an actual feminin side. Crystal. So, after years of not finding her, he simply became her.

Shits really fascinating to me.

That puts this in a whole new perspective. It seems like he wanted an imaginary fried, but his imagination ran off with him.

And then we get the whole "Cryzel" thing. Which is like Crystal 4.0. I'll give the Wise Guys some credit, they knew which character to pick to torture to get the maximum amount of concern out of Chris.
 
My question is, why does his heart have plane wings? It just looks like a heart-shaped military craft executing a carpet bomb.
Why is Chris' "cutie" mark a squid with wings?
IIRC, the symbol, as well as the name "Night Star," came from one of those Facebook quizzes. Chris just latched on to it for whatever reason.

If you go even deeper you find Bionic the Hedgehog, his first original character, created when he was a teenager, "Sonic's Long-Lost, but found, big brother." I think the original manifestation of Chris's loneliness revolved around Cole not being in his life. Chris was lonely everywhere always, but a brother, being family, could be forced to play with him when others had the choice to say no. But Cole was too old and moved to California. Sonichu was really an updated version of Bionic, another Cole surrogate. It's interesting that this male character completely dominated Chris's fantasy life, but in the background lurked Crystal, who eventually would take center stage not as a friend but as an identity. Twin sister Crystal was another version of Cole, but his gender issues wouldn't let her signification rest here.

Besides what you mention, another interesting thing about Crystal is that she represents a fantasy about being a mother. Chris has always been jealous of Barb. She's essentially the only woman he's ever truly known, and more than anything else she's a mother. The most important thing Barb has ever done is give the birth to The One And Only Christian Weston Chandler. For Chris, being a woman means being a mother. So he's always fantasized about giving birth, and that's a big part of the Crystal dream. On a symbolic level, giving birth to Crystal meant coming out as a woman himself, undergoing a transformation. He would be giving birth to himself, just as Barb did.

So yeah, this shit is fascinating.

I seriously doubt Chris came up with at age 8 if he could barely talk by age 7. Like you said, she was just a playmate that turned into a daughter because that would decrease the chances of her leaving..."Family never leaves right?"

Chris had an actual feminin side.
Don't take this the wrong way, but all men do. The feminine side of a man, if it does not have an option to project onto a real woman will lead to pathology like the Tomgirlism saga.
It's first projected onto the mother figure, then the girlfriend/wife and ultimately the daughter.

Damn. There should be an updated documentary that would have this. It just peels another layer into Chris' psyche.

I don't remember the exact age, but it really was around 8. He dreamt of her. Which again, is bizarre.

As far as feminine sides, there's "you know, I'll light one of my girlfriends scented candles, loganberry is fucking delightful .." and then there's Chris literally having a secondary manafested female persona.

Actually I stand corrected, CWCki says the crystal dreams started at 21, but I could've sworn I read he dreamed her up as a child.

I understand, but that's the entire point, Chris never had that girlfriend's candle to light in the first place, so instead, he became that woman to full fill his basic psychological needs.

Nah, it's because all his school buddies hate him.

Sorry for the double post, I can't seem to edit since we switched servers.
In the "Father Call" video with Kasey's Dad, Chris explicitly tells Matthew he had a dream about sharing a daughter Crystal in "elementary school." He said he was 7 or 8 to which Matthew replied "You've held on to this dream for 20 years?! Dreams do nothing for you." Something like that...Matthew said Kasey didn't like that name because it sounded like a stripper or some booze or something.
