Containment What will happen when Barb dies?

Bob did alot of damage to Chris by paying the girls in high school to pretend to be be His friend and hang out with Him.
He was already going to have socialization problems from autism, but it cut off his real social interactions just when he should have been learning that shit. Instead he got a totally distorted idea of what friendship is. To this day, he thinks it's something you just get for free with no effort of your own. It may have been well intentioned but it may have been the single most fucked-up thing Bob did to him.

Didn't Barb and Bob also push to make sure he was put in normal classes instead of special needs? I recall that lead to the incident where he ended up pinned on the floor...I wanna say because he wouldn't stop reading his Goosebumps book?
But you're totally right on the socialization thing; he spent all his time at home with two old ass people that just wanted to watch tv so his growth was stunted as fuck in that department.
 
Chris becomes a carnival worker. They hire sex offenders all the time.
If Chris becomes a clown I imagine he'll end up looking like the one from the horror game Dead by Daylight the way his hairline is going:

Once again goes back to Borb being old bats whose heads were stuck in the 1970s. Putting Chris on a modern IEP would've done tons of good, but the Blorb still had seventies-era special education in their heads of ree ree classes where the kids are all but put in straight jackets for the day and learn nothing.

For many people, especially young people, friendship is something you get for free with *nothing that you recognize as effort* of your own. You just do what you enjoy, and people who find that pleasant just naturally gather together. Eventually people do learn the troubles that come from trying to maintain deeper friendships, and sometimes you have to put emotional or physical work into it, but usually the point of friendship is that it just happens, rather than what you can do for each other.

In the old days, more friendships, and especially marriages did involve a lot more quid-pro-quo, which is probably why modern relationships fail so much and are shallow (nobody wants to admit to gaining something practical and thus "cheapen" their relationship), but that's not Chris' fault because he grew up with the hedonism kool aid all around him.

But in general, with kids and young adults, you just do what you like. Even if it's geek shit like going to the game store to play pokemon. Then you just make friends because you like talking to people and they like talking to you.

Chris is so unpleasant to be around that he doesn't have that opportunity. It's not like he's actively trying to be unpleasant, he just is. Hence Bob having to pay people.

That's the thing though. From what we know, Chris didn't have to deal with social rejection. We do know he was bullied but he always had these paid "friends" around.

If he'd been entirely alone I could see either Bob or a school counselor beating good manners into him. Though most likely it would just have been a repeat of his elementary school years where Borb went out of their way to AVOID him getting the help he needed.

In any case, once he'd hit his late teens, the damage was already done and Chris had 0 chance of becoming a likeable person.
 
Chris-Chan the only ghost to stress sigh and shit it self.

That dog don't haunt.


I’m half sure he’s gonna dig her up

Three feet by eight feet by six feet is way too much work for Chris to shift. There's a reason why cemeteries use shovel mechs, but Chris wouldn't be able to operate one. Likely he barely understands which end of a shovel is which.

Besides, Barb has a space waiting for her in a columbarium. No digging needed; just a little fire to help her fit inside.


How does one dig up ashes?

This.

Chris would need a screwdriver, not a shovel. I'm not sure he knows how those work either.


Instead he got a totally distorted idea of what friendship is.

I'm not entirely convinced friendship is what Chris wants from women.


the Blorb still had seventies-era special education in their heads of ree ree classes where the kids are all but put in straight jackets for the day and learn nothing.

As opposed to letting him annoy and distract the regular students and learn nothing.

Chris' idea of bullying is not doing what he wants. Most of the actual bullying likely went completely over his head.
 
Okay on the education thing on 5 posts back .....from what I've observed (not a teacher)...

A lot of parents feel that:
"If my special needs child is mainstreamed, they will become a "normal" child and achieve a decent education."
"If my special needs child is in the enclosed classroom (you know), they will receive a lesser education and always be a lesser person."

A lot of the school educators feel:
"If your special needs child is mainstreamed, they will be frustrated and confused"
"If your special needs child is in the enclosed classroom there will be less distractions, a more focused education, and let's face it: life skills vs algebra."

Now to the pandemic......it amazes how many of those mainstreamed students were suddenly enrolled in the enclosed classroom setting. Enclosed classroom students attended 5 days a week as opposed to 2 hybrid or none virtual. Hmmm.......
 
If Chris becomes a clown I imagine he'll end up looking like the one from the horror game Dead by Daylight the way his hairline is going:
Chris dresses like a clown, wears make-up like a clown, and acts like a clown. Hell, he's even mayor of Clown World (CWCville). The only difference between Chris and this clown is that Chris is alive.

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, looks like a duck, and has the occupation of a duck... It's probably a duck. Corkscrew and all.
 
Seriously we have had no reports on Barb's current status yet? <Or was that in another thread?>

Given her medical conditions I'm lowkey expecting to find out she infact, died.
Barb's okay just no contact with Chris by whoever is taking care of her. He's going to be cut out from her life so this could be the last time we ever hear about barb untill death.

I mean I thought by now weens would be telling the farms more given they go by the residence.

She did suffer a serious car accident, that is why I am curious if she's even there any more now.

A ween has taken a picture recently where it looks empty so someone has removed either Chris's junk or the hoard. She's there but we might get some new photos next Thursday.
