Containment Random Thoughts & Questions

[Tennis-Ball-Tony]

One big fat example of that: the CD cover project. The teacher told him "no copyrighted characters", after he wanted to just make some crappy cover with vidya characters all over (like a "Pooh's Adventures" thing). So what does the "special" kid do? Struggles with his small mind until he has a "brain fart blast" of Sonic and Pikachu... combined! And then he gets reassurance from Bob that it's totally OK! And so he then dumps out a still crappy cover with a derpy self portrait, and claimed he somehow got an A for it.

And of course, the "invention" of "Sonichu" is what contributed to the Tale of Fail getting significantly worse down the Path of Fail.

You know what's crazy to think about? If a normal student came up with that, the teacher probably wouldn't have accepted it, but since Chris was retarded, they probably just went along with it because you know, retarded Chris. His greatest creation was just allowed because he was a slow-in-the-mind.

I always thought that the CD cover design project felt like an unusual high school class assignment. Is it possible that the whole thing was busywork for Chris alone while the rest of the class worked on research projects and the like?

I think so. I think it was part of a wider project, but Chris just latched onto that being his masterpiece work. Looking at Chris's schoolwork shows that he was well below the accomplishments of even a basic high school education, and the teachers most likely just accepted if Chris could do the barest of minimum of work for an assignment they'd grade much higher for normal students.

If the assignment was "Create a CD catalog with a mixture of songs and files, labeled with a cover that was your own work" and Chris handed in a CD with some garbage he crudely drew and printed out, then shoved in a CD case, with a single song file or Notepad thing he wrote that he managed to burn, that would have been enough to get him out of the class and out of the teacher's hair. There was that "extra credit" Chris got for having a paper typed, even though it read like a 4th grader wrote it, so it's assumed the teachers were just amazed someone as simple minded as Chris could even complete an assignment they gave.

I was at Chris' Etsy store, it was about what I expected in every regard. I spotted a Rosechu medallion, I can't explain why, but that seemed like a sellout move. I know, it's all selling out because what choice does he have.

Seeing this medallion though... was the "market" yammering for this? Apparently, several reviews from customers. I would think if you wanted/had to give Chris money, you'd go OG with a Sonichu medallion. I guess this option was designed for the Sonichu fan that has it all.
