Containment Random Thoughts & Questions

The Sonichu possession thing intrigues me. I know it's just childish roleplay, but I kinda wonder about some psychological aspects of it. Chris knows he's fucked in reality, consciously or unconsciously. He wants to be safe, he wants all his problems to be solved. I wonder if telling himself he's already in his fantasy world and that now Sonichu simply pilots his body is some kind of coping mechanism. Again, probably just childish roleplay and doesn't mean much, but it makes me wonder if this is an especially radical form of coping and Chris is on the border of snapping (whatever that means).

I don’t think anyone will fully understand Chris and what he does, he’s just that weird.

But I’ve always kinda wondered if Sonichu isn’t him to an extent. An alter ego of Chris, or his idealized self or whatever. Maybe a certain aspect of his personality.

For example, remember when he had to put Patti down? What did he do besides signing his signature? He drew a crying Sonichu on the paperwork.

And yeah, Chris realizes he’s pretty fucked and that Barb’s merge is coming some day soon. He’s been pretty honest in some interviews about not having a plan and not knowing what to do.

His LARPing is obviously a way to escape that reality. Unfortunately he has more people playing along, than people telling him to cut the shit and grow the fuck up.

I wonder why Chris talked about wanting a dating education class when he didn't really pay attention in school (or do that well in his classes.) I know in the comic issue that featured dating ed that the people in the class were paired off with other students, so maybe he thought such a class would just give him a girlfriend?

Chris always takes the path of least resistance. If his “dating Ed” class had paired him up with someone, he’d just go “hmm yeah.” And settle for that, rather than put his newfound dating skills to any use.

Speaking of the Lovequest, it was of course a very poorly chosen name for the whole venture.

The entire lovequest consisted of Chris sitting on his fat ass somewhere, and waiting for a girl to come up and offer herself up for hanky-panky.

(Kind of like when Chris wanted to “take down the trolls”, and enlisted the tomgirl club as his personal army. Only to sit back and expect THEM to do all the work.)


Somewhere along the line, Chris was totally failed by his environment when it comes to reciprocity and rewards. Most of us have been taught that if you want something, you must make an effort to obtain it.

Chris otoh seems to have learned that if you want something, you need to state your wishes and sit back and wait until it either falls in your lap, or someone gives it to you.

Sonichu has always been a self-insert, to an extent. When he was first starting out with it, Sonichu represented him, Rosechu represented Sarah Hammer, and Black Sonichu represented Wes Iseli. It became less direct as time went on, but Sonichu is still the "cool dude" that Chris wished that he could be.

Chris appears to have more self-inserts than most autists, at least in a single story: Comic Chris, Sonichu, Sammy, Reginald, Night Star, humanoid Night Star thing, Crystal, Robee... I'm probably forgetting some.

He was surprisingly self aware (for Chris standards) during the time he went offline. It was the one time Chris actually wrote down and expressed fairly well what he was feeling, probably because he was depressed as fuck, most of his depersonalizations and delusions come from when he has manic highs caused by stress, trolls, too much attention or simply too much stimulus, when he was just a sad fuck his self reflections where more grounded and pessimistic, (pessimistic being interchangeable with realistic in Chris case). He admitted he was retarded, ugly, fat, that he could not understand people, etc

After Bob died and his house burn and he found out about the fake galpals and trolls, he fucking snapped, which lead him back to publicly calling out trolls and his legal problems, he was fucking psychotic at that point, of coursed fueled by his also mentally ill mother. He was manic all through that time. He had a court mandated psychiatric therapy iirc , i wonder if he was put on on xanax or something, or if he even followed through.

i am just being yet another armchair psychologist on the internet here but it wouldn't surprise me, it would not be so weird if autism is not all that is fucked with Chris, theres other disorders that must be pilling up with him brought up by his life conditions. but i am just talking out of my ass, it would be interesting to read on a christorian with a background of psychiatry to give their perspective
 
Watching Chris in his latest "analysis" video. It would be interesting to see him function 5 years from now. I don't know in 10 years, Chris would still be into MLP, but imagining a 50 year old Chris, sitting on his bed and doing the same reaction video, in the same childish voice and proclaiming he has his imaginary characters with him is going to be oh so sobering.

The icing on the cake (fart) is that in that video, Sonichu Chris proclaims his body to be immortal. Once those organs start to fail after years of abuse/neglect, he'll probably not admit it and just continue to spiral downhill.

Why did he hit his head so many times? Is he pretending to think hard about something? Or is that part of the Sonichu roleplay?

Good question: And here’s another one: Why does he do that thing where he starts yelling/screaming really fast in a cartoonishly high pitched voice?

Chris used to come across as a clearly autistic, but otherwise pretty normal individual in his videos.

These days he can’t seem to go for more than a few minutes at a time without breaking into sperg-speech and barely understandable yelling in cartoon voices, complete with sound effects.

That's what he thinks is a funny, zaney, charismatic personality.

We all have misunderstandings and skewed perceptions of what is and isn't funny or entertaining. But because we're not autistic, we learn and understand that some of the things that we think is funny doesn't mean other people will think it's funny. But Chris doesn't socialize, he doesn't care about other people's opinions (criticize him, helpfully or not, and he'll ignore you). He's a black box with no way of understanding how other people feel. He has zero idea of how much of a crazy idiot he looks, he thinks this is charisma.

I don't know, it reminds me of the Magi-Chan roleplay when he tapped his head while saying "this brain, not as good" or something like that.

"this brain? It needs work"
The most honest thing out of Chris's mouth, context be damned.

I wonder if there's a part of Chris deep inside that's just clawing to get out, to sort himself out. Like in Get Out, where the sane part is just forced to watch this living nightmare unfold.

I think Chris knows he’s a tard, sadly.

(The happy tards always seem to be the ones blissfully unaware that they’re perpetually on life’s short bus.)

One of the earliest observers in known Christory, back in 2005, made this observation while watching Chris at the Alderman library in University of Virginia.

Surrounded by the "brightest" students in America, whatever that means, he sits in his chair and draws. 23 years old. I'm not sure he even graduated high school. In front of him texts of Plato, Faulkner, God, and Kleist swirl. Does he have the capacity to understand these works? Whether he can or not, I am not sure, but their is something in his eyes that realizes that there is a level of understanding and thought that he is unable to partake in. As he slumps lower and lower in his chair with each student he eyes reading or holding a book, he falls into himself- into the markers and colors on the page in front of him. (coffee idea) He seems intelligent enough to understand that he does not understand, and that is the hardest part of all.

We also had the numerous references in phone calls with Kacey and Jackie where Chris mentions how he’s “mentally slow” sometimes, or that Rocky tried to work with him on admitting that he’s retarded.

And now we see the head punches. (Which, granted, is probably also partly Chris trying to be zany and fun.)

So yeah. Chris knows he’s not all there, even if he sometimes blames it on “his autism”.

It’s probably also the one and only area in which I feel genuinely sorry for him. Being retarded but still smart enough to realize that you’re missing out, must be frustrating and hurtful.

But of course, he never really draws the correct consequence of that, and in the next sentence brags about being high functioning or a goddess or whatever.

C’est la Chris!


EDIT: Let just feast our eyes on this hearty chunk of autism for a second... Chris actually went to a university library, sitting there with his markers and his Gameboy, surrounded by students doing their homework or reading Schopenhauer, TRYING TO FIND A GIRLFRIEND, never even realizing how he might stand out.
