Meta Random Thoughts and Questions

This is no longer a clue. It's a game. You may have just gotten checkmate, but we're playing Chinese checkers, and as my old friend Confucius say; the hunter has become the hunter-ed. The chaser has become the chosed. Dame Fortuna has had her franking privileges revoked. It seems the portrait has painted the artist, sketching the reverser, who has become the reverse-ed. But this time the suffixed will become the sufferer, and it appears the baby killer is about to kill a baby.

 

The freak had a dream of wading through a water-filled maze, finding some "sweetheart" there, and getting a boner.

Tried to immortalize it in a DSi animation he repeatedly uploaded and that would be repeatedly taken down as well.

Weirdly, I doubt he actually dreamed this.

 

hi. this is my first post here.
before she cut off contact with him, what if megan said something to chris like "Okay, I WILL be your girlfriend, but only if you meet my stipulations for self improvement (like getting a job, moving out, maybe persuing higher education & a career)"
considering how much he wrote about how awesome megan is and how in love with her he is, it wouldn't be too much to ask right?
do you think he could do it? would he be insulted by the suggestion? or would he try to take the first steps, hit a roadblock, blame it on someone else and internalize them as the villain ruining his life by not giving him what he wants right away, give up altogether, and then stop caring about megan?
perhaps i answered my own question... what do you guys think. maybe a better question is "how would you motivate classic era chris to change?"

 

Go back in time and stop Bob from being chased down a hall at a bar by a drunken Barb, or at least prevent Christopher from entering that ill-fated Sonic the Hedgehog Watch & Win Sweepstakes?

I think it would be more effective to make it so that he actually does enter the contest, but loses. it's really obvious that winning that contest combined with landing a TV spot helped breed his garguantuan ego and his mindset that he's ultra special for having to cope with autism and that he deserves to be constantly rewarded for it while he does nothing on his part.
you can tell because in every contest he submitted to after, he never neglects to mention that he has autism, probably assuming that he can use those pity points to win without expending any actual effort on his submission. (and that strategy may have actually worked if he had still been a kid and not in his 20s, where it just becomes weird.)
losing the contest would give him a healthy dose of reality and probably even turn him away from Sonic somewhat.
...then again, this is kid Chris and not the extremely desperate Chris in his 20s who ascribes heaps of importance to promotional video game themed contests as a reprieve from his terrible life, so maybe he wouldn't have even noticed or cared.

 

Even if someone unconditionally loved him, he would just end up using and manipulating them. Even Bob originally tried to restrain Chris' self-destructively bad sense of fiscal responsibility, but even he got tired of trying to just get Chris to be honest and work with him, for Chris' own benefit. Remember, Barb is his mother. No, anything you want Chris to do that impedes him from receiving your praise is just something he has to patiently wait out by yelling "I'm werkin' on it! I am a goddess and this is hard!" until you finally yield and realize you will never, ever get this horse to drink water, it would rather die right here right now than have a sip. He went his entire life being unconditionally praised by his parents and school system (and would have a nuclear meltdown at the first instance of them not doing that, as we know), all the while he spent too much time being sheltered in his own little world to ever stop and wonder why everyone else has friends except for him.

 

I used to think classic Chris couldn't be helped. But that was before I realized to what extent the trolls had their hands in him.

Given how the Idea Guys could make Chris do anything I think it'd be a matter of just phrasing it the right way. "Sonichu wants you to shower!"

 

Sadly that's what us enablers believed, which is why we enabled Chris, but it's fruitless. You can't get this man to be responsible if you tried, he's actively intolerant to any and all forms of responsibility, he just wants to bedrot all day. Anything else is just a distraction from that, and one that, first and foremost, must be thoroughly tested to see if it can be imagined away or not. Most things, surprisingly, can. Honestly, given how insanely lucky Chris has been to not have the sky fall on him by now, I don't blame him for thinking the universe must actually work off of some sort of cartoon logic.
