Containment What If?

Re: What if Chris had lived during the Hippie era?

Interesting question.

I don't think Chris would become a hippie. I think he would be more conservative than he is now, and perhaps outwardly racist as that was pretty much the norm in the 60s. I don't think he would be part of the counter culture, he probably would be too much in his own little world to notice the major events taking place in the 60s. Also, I think his autism would have been handled dramatically differently - I think he would either have been institutionalized or just been told he was "different" and untreated which might make him a bit more normal than he is now.

It'd be curious if Chris would have been drafted into Vietnam, I think they probably would have said he was too fat or something like that.
 
Re: What if Chris had lived during the Hippie era?

The government would've had an extra option regarding patsies, and MKULTRA'd him into shooting John Lennon.

Well, they'd try, until it became apparent that Chris isn't gonna read Catcher in the Rye, and would only direct his anger at Barney Rubble's voice changing.

Or maybe he'd have joined an anarchist extremist splinter group led by a 1970s ADF, planning to blow up a nuclear plant, and in the process blowing up Chris with it?
Why would ADF fall off from the queer path of Marxism-Leninism? :(
Fixed.

then take him to the cleaners, assuming that he didn't run everyone off by this point.
Hopefully literally.

I think he'd probably be fairly clean. Chris is willing to do a lot for china, so I think that if he had a woman there that would deny him sex until after he had a shower, he'd clean himself every day. She'd have to nag him, though. She'd probably get frustrated and debate whether it was worth it, but would put up with everything for at least a year so she could say that "she tried" and then list the cleanliness problems as an issue in her divorce papers, saying that she tried but Chris wasn't investing himself in the relationship.

I think that he'd come out of it rather underwhelmed. I see it unfolding thusly:

Chris would invite Jackie to come with him to the reunion, as he wouldn't entirely want to go alone and his mother wouldn't be the first choice. Jackie would, of course, say no and Chris would bring his mother. So the evening would start with a level of disappointment, as Chris would potentially feel let down by this. Even if he goes by himself, Chris would still feel depressed that he didn't have a heartsweet with him.

At the reunion Chris would immediately seek out anyone he had contact with in high school and would assume that they all wanted desperately to see him. He'd of course seek out his gal pals, hoping to specially connect with them. Most, if not all, of them would have significant others, so he'd face disappointment with this. I think that part of him entertains this fantasy that he'd hook up with one of them. Overall I think that Chris would expect to find sympathetic ears in them as he regales them with his life of torment. Being decent human beings, they'd listen to him for a while and then eventually find reasons to drift around to everyone else. Some of them might be willing to exchange email addresses with him. I expect that Tiffany might be the one to do this, as she was the most sympathetic of all of them during high school. This would probably open up a whole new saga when he started delving into his tomgirl persona, as he identified her in the past as a tomboy.

Chris would then realize the reality of high school reunions: they're fairly dull and rather boring, especially if you don't have anything exciting to tell anyone else. He'd quickly grow bored and depressed that everyone else is paired off and that nobody really cares about his problems. If she's there, Barb would try to gain the attention of various people as well as try to ferret out any potential trolls. Which of course would be there somehow. Even if she didn't look, Chris would be looking as well. Finally he'd leave, a little sad and dejected, as he'd realize that this didn't even remotely live up to his expectations and that in the end, nobody really cares about high school once it's done.

On a side note, it'd be hilarious if the CWCki were to have financed part of the night and listed Chris as the sponsor somehow. Nothing nasty, just listing Chris's name or putting down "Sonichu Fan Club" or something that he would find flattering rather than insulting or trolling. This would lead Chris to put his own foot in his mouth, as he'd make sure to point out that "His Fans" love him or something to that extent. He'd embarrass himself in the process.

I went to the Promised Reunion today and it was a slanderous mockery! I did NOT get my promised dance with Tiffany or Any other of my gal-pals. They all became stuck-up and dismissal like the other people of C-Ville and R-Ville. They did NOT recognize my progress in 10 good elbow-greased years, and they did NOT give even one word to my artistic geinus. *high voice* Not even a word!! I ran out and cried and cried and CRIED.
 
...which morphs our world into his fantasies?

I imagine a circular field centered on 14 BC, which slowly spreads out like the fiery wave of destruction in the movie Independence Day, but far more slowly, gaining about 1 m in radius each hour.

Inside this field, reality is changed into Chris's imagination: everyone and everything resembles a crudely drawn 2D monstrosity with almost lovecraftian proportions and geometry, electric hedgehog pokemon pop into existence, cities are run by local dictators employing said hedgehogs as stormtroopers to enforce their bizarre legislation, the generally accepted courtship ritual includes loitering with attraction signs at public places etc.

Slowly, this reality-morphing field creeps across US countryside, 1 m every hour. What would people do about it? Would the government try to nuke it with a thermonuclear warhead? Or would people just flee and hope it will stop?
 
Does this field move even when Chris is asleep?
 
It moves constantly. He started it by thinking about his hedgehogs excessively, but after it began growing, it took on an independent existence. It would even continue growing if Chris died.
 
Okay then.

The Game Place would burn to the ground and drinking straws would become huge. However, due to the slow spread, it would probably take a week before the federal government and military got involved.

He´ll try to dress sharply, with terrible consecuences, and looking cooler now he has more knowledge about life issues.
He´s also know due to his gluttony a parties. A ridiculous image indeed.

I think the "sharpest" Chris has ever dressed was in his Future Message video:

What if Chris smoked marijuana?

Say Chris opened up to the idea of smoking pot after hearing it to be a potential treatment to autism. Would he gain a new sense of self awareness?
 
In his videos he seems to think a high school reunion is similar to senior prom. Not very many students attend high school reunions. There would be a real good chance that none of the people he wants to see would have even been there.

Ffs, I actually read this in Chris's voice. What's happening to me?!
 
I would remove C-Quarters and W-Quarters from circulation, rebuild the 4_centGarbage building, restructure the Soup Hotel system, get funding to establish a sanctuary for the Electric Hedgehog Pokemon somewhere in Appalachia where they can't harm anything, close down the CWCville auto industry (which was never mentioned, but undoubtedly produces unlicensed Ford Aerostar and Ford Escort copies in standard styles as well as body styles never offered by Ford, as in an Aerostar pickup and Escort roadster, and a Cadillac SLS copy made as mayoral and diplomatic transport, all powered by Chinese or Russian industrial engines), recall all food products made in CWCville and bury them at sea, deestablish apartheid and publicly apologize for the apartheid against blacks and Jews, change the name to its approximate pronunciation in Welsh-influenced English (that would be Cookville) and transition it back to being part of the state of Virginia.

I think at this point even if Chris was invited to his high school reunion he'd discount it as a trolling attempt.

Which surprises me that no-one's done that. Lead Chris to a pickle party or something.
 
He could fulfill his dream of being an escort. Carlos Chantor, bent for your pleasure. The clients would assume "bent" was a euphemism for being kinky, but all dreams would be shattered when he removed his stained briefs. They would see he was literally bent, and shove him out of the motel room.

Or, seeing his mangled knob would make all of the clients dripping wet with desire.
 
Barb would scream and call 911 while Chris cried and blubbered out an apology.
