The Days Ahead

[Anchuent Christory]

I also have had my ears pierced with
amythest studs (my birthstone) recently. I have been more
self-confident, and I have a sweet sashay walk, hair and wink flirts,
and I am greeting women left and right. Hello.

Of all the things Chris has no understanding of, female attraction ranks as the the lowest. Quite why he believes any woman would find this desirable is beyond me.

Also, is he wearing that top inside out?

 

[PolterBob]

Chris, as I have said on occasion, is going to wind up like a bug on the windshield of Life if he does not change course and soon. Just about everyone that has ever heard of Chris knows this fate awaits him if he continues with his ways.

The big question is, is Chris himself aware of the personal Armageddon he is about to face? IMO, I think he's going to play the vidya until they find his rotted corpse two YEARS after his passing up in his bedroom, because no one in the neighborhood would notice or care if Chris hadn't been seen lately. After the corpse and garbage is hauled off, 14BLC gets bulldozed, and the empty, unsellable space becomes a dirt lot for huffers to dump their discarded gold-sprayed socks.

He'll probably forget to pay his taxes/bills someday and end up on Charlottesville's version of Skidrow.

I stand firm in my belief that there is no way Chris will be able to support himself. According to the Ivy Q&A, he doesn't even clean up his *you-know-what*. At best, he'll end up in a group home or some other form of assisted living facility. At worst, his intoxicated corpse will be found under an overpass in 10 years.

He may go to a group home, but I doubt he'll stay there for long. I stand by my prediction that he will be endlessly creeped out by all the other residents there, whom he will constantly get into fights with (and I mean "fights" as in "the other guy gets sick of Chris' shit and busts him one, and Chris falls like a house of cards, muttering "kick the autistic") and fussing with the staff over everything. Eventually, his welcome will be worn and he'll be asked to leave.

[He Sets Me On Fire]

Chris, as I have said on occasion, is going to wind up like a bug on the windshield of Life if he does not change course and soon. Just about everyone that has ever heard of Chris knows this fate awaits him if he continues with his ways.

The big question is, is Chris himself aware of the personal Armageddon he is about to face? IMO, I think he's going to play the vidya until they find his rotted corpse two YEARS after his passing up in his bedroom, because no one in the neighborhood would notice or care if Chris hadn't been seen lately. After the corpse and garbage is hauled off, 14BLC gets bulldozed, and the empty, unsellable space becomes a dirt lot for huffers to dump their discarded gold-sprayed socks.

That's an excellent question. I would imagine that the answer is somewhere between "Yes" and "No".

Don't mean to come off as a jerk - I mean that literally. Chris, IMO, has a genuinely odd sense of perception when it comes to reality. At first glance, the general impression we get is of an adult spoiled brat, who's been so coddled, sheltered, and befuddled by his mental problems that he is locked into a series of misinformed convictions and overfed ego. Thus, in his way, CWC becomes invincible, because no matter what happens to him in reality, his impenetrable perception of the world allows him to ride with the jolt, turning out fine in the end.

But there are several weaknesses in this assessment, primarily in the fact that Chris is used to being a leech. The entire Sweetheart Search is predicated on his self-serving, lazy nature. Chris has been worried since the age of 21 that he'd be alone for the rest of his life. That's something his sweetheart is supposed to fix for him. This makes two of Chris's internal conclusions about himself immediately apparent:

1. He cannot affect things in his life on his own.

2. He inherently realizes that, barring external help, he will be alone after his parents pass.

This would be a Doomsday scenario for Chris, and one that I think truly disturbs him from time to time. But then that thoughtless, juvenile mindset of his, those "Even my mom thinks I'm handsome" convictions set in, and Chris just cruises by on video games and MLP, because the world is supposed to take care of him. Heck, according to Marvin, Chris was shocked by his dad's passing.

So on the one hand, yeah - I think Chris fears something bad ahead of him. On the other hand, I think that he's too stuffed with his ego and comforting delusions to care (although not as much as before).

 

[BigBoss]

He Sets Me On Fire put it very well and I happen to agree.

Chris is not oblivious to the changes in his environment and he's not necessarily a complete moron. He knows he's going to be alone and he's afraid of that fact whenever he's reminded of it, and personally I believe that things like Ivy and PandaHalo "dying" really got to him deep. Sure, he plodded along to the next Sweetheart, but I think the damage is still there.

Chris is stuck in the conundrum of wanting to change his life and never being alone again, and being too lazy and too much of a defeatist to do anything about it. He wants what he's used to and been raised on: having the world handed to him on a silver platter.

Exactly. And I wonder. Is he so set in his ways that he can't figure out how to change if he wanted to?

 

[Kosher Dill]

The PS3 destruction incident convinced me that Chris is very capable of quick and decisive change if he's motivated. Unfortunately nothing else but PS3 can motivate him that hard.

 

[Marvin]

Here's how I see it going down:
Within the next three years Barb's health will continue to fail. She will either die in her sleep on her filthy, broken down recliner or will get sick enough to be hospitalized where she will die as Bob did, in a hospital bed while her cross dressing mentally handicapped son plays on a handheld video game.

Well, her health's pretty stable right now. She's got some physical problems, but nothing serious. She's old? Maybe that'd impact something? Well, also her diet. She's 71 right now, so she probably has some time.

Chris will be deeply saddened by his mother's passing as she was the one parent that placated and pandered to him. He will try to block out the bad feelings by playing PS3 and probably drinking more.

Chris was deeply saddened about his father's death just the same. Really, I think he'll be sad mostly because he's all alone, not because his mother holds any special place in his heart.

Chris will continue to spend his money on games, fast food, makeup, and girl's clothing far too small for his rotund figure.

He will fail to pay his property taxes and the house will be taken from him. The authorities will see the terrible condition of the house and have it condemned for public health reasons. While going through the piles of garbage in the house the corpses of many tiny kittens will be discovered from litters long since abandoned by the Chandler cats. The pets will be taken by animal control officers. The dogs will be adopted out and the cats destroyed. The house will be demolished and the property auctioned off.

My opinion on this has kinda changed recently after I've went over some old material. I would say, if it's getting paid now, there's a decent chance of it getting paid without Barb. It's not as easy for him to pay as, say, electricity, but there's still a good chance he'd pay it. Hell, if the county has an autopay system, Chris'll be fine.

He'll probably forget to pay his taxes/bills someday and end up on Charlottesville's version of Skidrow.

Things changed after Bob died.

 

[DangDirtyTrolls]

Why do so many people seem to believe Barb's going to die within the next few years? Bob had just turned 84 when he kicked the bucket and Barb's only in her early 70s at the moment. She was obese at one point, granted, but she lost a lot of weight after her colitis. It's very possible she's got another decade or so left in her and Chris could be in his 40s by the time he has to face a reality without his parents.

Sorry to go off-topic, but I just imagined "Everything changed after the Chandler Nation attacked" and couldn't stop laughing.

Ye, I also think that Barb will live longer than expected...
Chris will be 40 and still asking permission to go out and do something.

Now that is utterly depressing.

 

[PolterBob]

unless rocky pulls more political strings, he is not going to a group home.

Then where? His only options are going to be

-- a halfway house with other SIDMs (Slow In Deh Minds)

-- the local state nuthouse

-- the decaying remains of 14BLC, soon to be repossessed due to lack of upkeep or paying of taxes/bills

-- Rocky's house

Yeah, right.

Things are gonna be bleak for a ManBaby who refuses to prepare for the inevitable.

If that were on a T-shirt, I'd buy five.

 

[Kosher Dill]

Then where?

Realistically, his only options are 14BC, imprisonment, or homelessness. And I doubt he'll ever commit another crime that lands him in jail - he's been broken by the Court Saga.

he'll probably just rot away in 14BC. he'll have the house once barb goes. but rather than living in and caring for said house, he will just inhabit the hoard.

Eh, without Barb, he'll be able to escape the hoard and live in his bedroom. Ideally, he'd want to clean up the hoard, but he's much to lazy to efficiently get anything done.

 

[Hyperion]

Too bad he's been such a hateful little fucker to them, because you know who generally helps with things like cleaning up dead old lady hoards? Churches, of course.

You never know. Losing his mommy MIGHT make the congregation feel bad for Chris and they may decide to help him one more time, thinking that his grief might make him act more like a human being/mourning son. But then this would be another opportunity for Chris to act like a jerk, when they come over to the house to help. I can see him asking them to pay funeral costs and so on. He also probably would sigh and groan when they tell him to help clean up the hoard while hiding in his room playing vidya and telling them he's working on it.

 

[Marvin]

Well, y'know, plus, I don't know how many of them personally experienced Chris bitching at them. They probably know him as the weird manchild with weird prayer requests. But Rocky is still willing to help Chris, you know. She'd probably make some sort of announcement asking for volunteers to help the poor manchild who just lost his mother and is all alone in the world.
