{{quote|it's a [[Asperchu|fun story]]. anyway, you know the expression, "Our ship has come in," well that refers to a HUGE one-time amout of money, which can compare to a [[Lars' Ship has Sunk.MOV|Luxury Ship that can easily sink]]. and a Tugboat is more reliable, because even though it's smaller, it's built tougher, and it's usually better on time in that sense. so, I refer to my monthly income as a Tugboat, whereas I would refer to say winning the Lottery as a Luxary [sic] Ship. Chalk that idea up to a spot of [[Autism|creative thinking]]. :)|Chris's autistic explanation for his Tugboat}}

[[Image:Thetugboatposter.jpg|thumb|Tugboat, exciting and new 
Come aboard. we're expecting you.]]

The '''monthly tugboat''' is [[Chris]]'s [[CWC-isms|euphemism]] for his [[Wikipedia:Social Security Disability Insurance|Social Security Disability Insurance]] (SSDI) payment, which is deposited into his bank account via direct deposit on or about the 3rd of each month.<ref>[http://ssa.gov/pubs/calendar.htm]</ref> SSDI is part of a U.S. taxpayer-supported program to support financially those whose physical injures or [[Slow-in-the-minds|mental ailments]] prevent them from performing even minimum-wage work. Chris is known to have belonged to this system since at least [[2007]], before he was [[Chris in the media#Something Awful|discovered]] by the [[Chris and the Internet|Internet]]. In the [[Father Call]], Chris claims that his disability check is "a stepping-stone in the right direction of [him] moving out." Given Chris's tendency to waste his free money on frivolous junk rather than put it towards anything that might improve his life, he was probably just telling Matt what he thought he wanted to hear.

Contrary to popular belief, Chris's check is not need-based, but is awarded on eligibility alone. Most US Americans have to work a decade to qualify.<ref>[https://www.ssa.gov/planners/disability/dqualify10.html Social Security Benefits Planner: How You Qualify]</ref> Chris, on the other hand, has only been employed for six months (three at [[Wendy's]], three in a [[Cutco|pyramid scheme]]). However, Bob earned retirement insurance in his years at General Electric, and Social Security also lets retirees' dependent disabled children get payments, even if they have never worked themselves, so long as they were disabled before turning 22.<ref>[https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10026.pdf Benefits for Children with Disabilities], Page 7.</ref> As long as Chris earns less than $1220 a month,<ref>[https://www.ssa.gov/OACT/COLA/sga.html Substantial Gainful Activity]</ref> and stays unmarried (to [[Polyamorous marriage|someone real]], at least) and [[Chris and the law|out of prison]], he will continue to receive his monthly tugboat unimpeded. While Christorians predicted he might've gotten his tugboat privileges taken away if convicted after [[26 December 2014|macing a GameStop employee in the face]], he was ultimately left off with a fine and probation.

In [[2010]], Chris received $809 each month, with $580 going to his parents for room, board, and to pay toward his credit card debt.<ref>[[:File:StatementforViv01,2010-2.jpg]]</ref><ref>[[Jackie Chat 7|Jackie Chat #7]]</ref> After [[Bob|his father]]'s death in [[September 2011]], Chris's tugboat increased. As of [[2014]], Chris was receiving approximately $1300 a month in welfare money, of which [[Barbara Chandler|Barb]] claims $900 [[Financhu Crisis|to pay for her second mortage]].<ref>[https://imgur.com/a/nstDOAM Chris, via Null, on 13 July 2018]</ref>

Due to his arrest in [[2021]] for [[incest]], the SSA is likely to terminate Chris's Social Security benefits since according to their rules, benefits are stopped if a recipient is institutionalized for more than 30 continuous days after being convicted of a crime.<ref>https://www.ssa.gov/reentry/benefits.htm</ref>. And while the SSA does allow ex-prisoners to reapply for their benefits after release, it is unknown how successful Chris will be in recovering his tugboat due to his inherent laziness and general ineptitude when dealing with important matters.

==Rationale==
[[Image:Monthly Tugboat.jpg|thumb|250px|What Chris believes a monthly tugboat is. Your tax dollars at work, gentlemen.]]
===Chris's economic logic===
Challenged by a correspondent in the [[Mailbag]], Chris claimed that he is not wasting his taxpayer-funded "tugboat", because he is putting that money back into the economy and indirectly paying the tugboats of others. According to Chris's [[Chris and reality|logic]], by purchasing useless commercial goods, he is paying sales tax which the government puts directly back into the hands of the needy.<ref>[[Mailbag 34|Mailbag #34]]</ref> This is irrefutably false; sales taxes go to the state government whereas his tugboat is paid by ''federal'' '''''payroll''''' tax, to which Chris has never substantially contributed in his life.

Another thing to take into consideration is that not all of the money even stays in the U.S. economy. Chris spends quite a bit of his tugboat of it on products designed and produced abroad. For example, [[Nintendo]] and [[Sony]] are Japanese corporations, and Chris's beloved [[Lego]] is a product of Denmark. These companies do have U.S. bases, and a small amount of R&D occurs stateside. But at the end of the day, most of it occurs overseas, and let's not forget that the majority of Chris's [[toys]], electronics, and other products were most likely made in some factory in [[China]].

Let's say Chris buys a new [[PlayStation]]. Some of the money will go to the U.S. retailer, and a fraction might go to Sony's U.S. division (which handles ads and translation for the American market). But the vast majority of money spent will go straight to Sony of Japan and its employees, thus contributing to Japan's internal economy. Therefore, that money just left the U.S. economy permanently. The only way for it to return is if a Sony employee spent some of his hard-earned cash on an American product: perhaps a nice meal at Mickey D's.

Ironically, if Chris bought a [[HEXBox]] earlier (instead of boycotting it until 2017), the majority of money spent on it and on many of its games would be put back into the U.S. economy, as Microsoft is headquartered in Redmond, Washington.

===Earning potential===
On the advice of his dead father, Chris has never looked for a job since leaving Wendy's, supposedly because the tugboat gives him more money overall. However, Bob was totally wrong. Since [[2008]], the hourly minimum wage in the Commonwealth of [[Virginia]] has been $7.25, pursuant to federal minimum wage. If Chris were somehow to do a complete 180° on his life, get off disability, and begin working a full 40-hour week, his monthly income before taxes and rent payment would be approximately $1,260 USD. This would put Chris's annual income range, before tax, at roughly $15,100. Subtracting what he pays his parents to live in filth, as well as the 5% tax his income range mandates in the state of Virginia, Chris could very likely be left with a ridiculous $9,000 in ''spending'' money, enough for many more sex toys and video games, in contrast with the $2,748 Chris pulls in annually from the government after paying off his parents. As SSDI payments have been adjusted for inflation over the years, while Virginia's legislation has not, this earning gap has since closed. Despite this, Chris still could have earned $48,600 (or even more, if he were to be promoted or find better work with his new skills) or more over the last decade by working instead of remaining on disability.

Even if this weren't enough, the most cursory research reveals that a SSDI beneficiary could have earned from $700 a month in the year [[2000]], when Chris was 18, to $1,000 a month in [[2010]] without losing a cent of SSDI payments. As of [[2019]], this limit is about as much as Chris would earn working minimum wage part time.<ref>http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/COLA/sga.html</ref> Social Security also has voluntary programs that would let Chris try working a real job for up to nine months without upsetting his tugboat in the slightest.<ref>[https://choosework.ssa.gov/about/work-incentives/index.html Ticket to Work - Work Incentives]</ref> At best, Bob's decision to encourage Chris's unemployment came from the reasonable assumption that Chris could never survive in a real-world workplace environment. At worst, it was negligence or blind delusion that let Chris to miss out on over $100,000 in potential [[Muscle bra|bras]], faux-[[china]], [[My Little Pony|children's]] [[Transformers|toys]], and [[I Pimp My Ride.MOV|PS3 accessories covered in]] [[Lego]] through to the end of [[2010]] and beyond.

Rough calculations and estimations say that if Chris lives into his 80s, given reasonable "cost of living" increases to his tugboat annually, he will receive roughly $1,000,000 over his lifetime from his countrymen. In this day and age, that's chump change and he'd amass a larger fortune if he simply got off his ass and got a career; of course, it's [[Chris and health|extremely unlikely]] that he will live anywhere near that long.

==References by Chris==
Chris does not even understand ''which program he is on''. In many emails<ref>[[Jackie E-mails 6]]</ref><ref>[[Jackie E-mails 25]]</ref><ref>[[Rebeckah Bentley E-mails]]</ref><ref>[[Gal Pal E-mails 3]]</ref> and posts<ref>[[November 2016 Facebook posts]]</ref><ref>[[December 2016 Facebook posts]]</ref> he mistakenly says that he receives [[Wikipedia:Supplemental Security Income|SSI]], which is a different welfare program for the poor that has far tighter restrictions and a typically lower payout.

* The earliest known use of the term "monthly tugboat" was in March [[2007]] in Chris's first e-mail to his half-brother [[Cole Smithey]]. When introducing himself, Chris says, "I'm getting by livin' with my folks and a monthly tugboat". He does not actually explain what a "monthly tugboat" is supposed to be.
* An [[Megan emails, Aug-Dec 2007#Adam Stackhouse wins, Chris is a horrible cheater and likes Megan "so much"|e-mail to Megan]] from August 2007 recounts Chris's purchase of ''[[Guitar Hero]]'' with his latest tugboat check.
* During the [[Miyamoto Saga]], Chris claimed he was waiting for his tugboat (in an e-mail to "Miyamoto" himself, no less) to fix technical problems with his website.
* In [[Mumble 1|Mumble #1]], Chris mentions that he'll have to wait for his next tugboat to buy some new content for ''Ape Escape'' on the PSP.
* In [[BlueSpike PSN Chat 4|BlueSpike PSN Chat #4]], Chris tells [[Julie]] that he can't make it to Ohio until his next tugboat comes in.
* Since late 2009, [[Chris]] seemed to have mostly given up the term "tugboat", possibly because of its extensive adoption by trolls in the [[Mumble]] chats, the [[Mailbag]], and elsewhere. In the [[Father Call]], he refers to it as his "monthly income", while in the [[Jackie e-mails]] he simply says he's on Social Security, although he did refer to it once as a "tugboat" in [[Mailbag 34|Mailbag #34]].
* The [[BlueSpike Skype Logs 12|BlueSpike Skype logs]], quoted at the top of the page shine a light on the origin of the term.
*In one of the [[Jackie Chat 7|Jackie chat logs]], he wrote about the reason he deserves the welfare:

{{quotebox|
[7:47 pm] CWC: Originally, I was given that blessing through [[Bob|my father]], on one theory of me NOT being able to do the basics of a job, which I have told you I disagree with fully. 
[7:48 pm] CWC: Yesterday, I have actually asked [[God]] the question, because all I was coming up with was having deserved it from my [[Stress|trials and tribulations]] in my life. 
[7:48 pm] CWC: God responded... 
[7:48 pm] CWC: He told me that he blessed me because he saw me as one of the appreciative and [[Chris and English|less richer]] people, so he gave me that blessing through the approval. 
[7:49 pm] [[Jackie|Jacklyn Romy]]: ??? 
[7:49 pm] CWC: And I also asked him about the Job situation; why have I not been able to get a job then? 
[7:49 pm] Jacklyn Romy: that doesnt make sense 
[7:49 pm] Jacklyn Romy: why would God approve you to rip off the government when there are people starving and dying on the streets who genuinely need help 
[7:50 pm] CWC: he told me that he felt I was not ready to tackle a job yet, but he will bless me with a job when he sees fit. 
[7:50 pm] CWC: I don't know. 
[7:50 pm] Jacklyn Romy: thats not my understanding of how God works
}}

{{quote|i mean, are you sure you heard him correctly? no one I know has EVER heard God tell them "hey, just sit back and do nothing, i'll hand you a job and money so you can just play games all day"|Jackie, destroying Chris with sound logic.}}

Tour of Chris's House III

2020-08-13T21:58:32Z

Frenlyfrens: /* The bathroom (09:48-10:26) */

'''Tour of Chris's House III''' is the second [[Idea Guys]] video to be leaked on Chris's Twitter by the [[Teen Troon Squad]]. The video was uploaded on 11 [[December 2018]], with a troll-written description stating that for $500 the full video could be unlocked, and was then deleted by Chris. This tour was leaked five years after [[Tour of Chris's House II|the previous tour video]]. The house is less horrendously overcrowded than it used to be - while the hoard still dominates the kitchen and living room, the oven and sink are actually ''accessible'' this time. Chris also appears to have salvaged the 'Dreaming Studio' sign from the toolshed outside and brought it into his room.

A calendar in the hallway shows the video to have been made in [[March 2018]]. This is confirmed by the presence of the [[2018_Sales_Listings#Lesbian_pride_flag|lesbian pride flag]] which Chris sold in April.

The full tour was leaked on 11 [[August 2020]].

==Transcript==

===Intro (00:00-00:20)===

[''Video begins with a close up of Chris's face, revealing it is shot on a phone'']

[''Gives us a quick flash of the house before returning to face shot'']

Hello, on the internet, this is Christine Chandler, coming to you live from home once again, and today... givin' y'all an update nyauh- gonna take a tour of, the house... as it currently... is!

===Chris's work room (00:20-05:09)===

Um, ok? So, esc- es- start it... hm... pretty much from what is the family room is now my...

[''Turns the camera to show the room, which is unfocused''] ...kind of... living space- why is it blurry? The hell? [''Camera focuses, revealing a very cluttered room, but less clutter than before''] Oh, there is is. Just needed to focus, FOCUS! Anyway so that's... one half, um- that side but also, [[cats]] like to... hop on the couch, we don't let 'em, come in guests... but anyway, um...

Tour of Chris's House III

2020-08-13T21:56:52Z

Frenlyfrens: /* The kitchen (08:34-09:48) */

'''Tour of Chris's House III''' is the second [[Idea Guys]] video to be leaked on Chris's Twitter by the [[Teen Troon Squad]]. The video was uploaded on 11 [[December 2018]], with a troll-written description stating that for $500 the full video could be unlocked, and was then deleted by Chris. This tour was leaked five years after [[Tour of Chris's House II|the previous tour video]]. The house is less horrendously overcrowded than it used to be - while the hoard still dominates the kitchen and living room, the oven and sink are actually ''accessible'' this time. Chris also appears to have salvaged the 'Dreaming Studio' sign from the toolshed outside and brought it into his room.

A calendar in the hallway shows the video to have been made in [[March 2018]]. This is confirmed by the presence of the [[2018_Sales_Listings#Lesbian_pride_flag|lesbian pride flag]] which Chris sold in April.

The full tour was leaked on 11 [[August 2020]].

Tour of Chris's House III

2020-08-13T21:53:49Z

Frenlyfrens: /* Chris's old room (11:17-12:43) */

'''Tour of Chris's House III''' is the second [[Idea Guys]] video to be leaked on Chris's Twitter by the [[Teen Troon Squad]]. The video was uploaded on 11 [[December 2018]], with a troll-written description stating that for $500 the full video could be unlocked, and was then deleted by Chris. This tour was leaked five years after [[Tour of Chris's House II|the previous tour video]]. The house is less horrendously overcrowded than it used to be - while the hoard still dominates the kitchen and living room, the oven and sink are actually ''accessible'' this time. Chris also appears to have salvaged the 'Dreaming Studio' sign from the toolshed outside and brought it into his room.

A calendar in the hallway shows the video to have been made in [[March 2018]]. This is confirmed by the presence of the [[2018_Sales_Listings#Lesbian_pride_flag|lesbian pride flag]] which Chris sold in April.

The full tour was leaked on 11 [[August 2020]].

Timeline of the Financhu Crisis (2019)

Frenlyfrens: /* September '19 */

This page lists the '''[[2019]] timeline of the [[Financhu Crisis]]'''.

==January '19==

*6th - Chris makes an announcement on Twitter that he is selling Barbara's "M&Ms Candy Characters Ms Green, Blue & Red Animated Talking Telephone"<ref>https://www.ebay.com/itm/283329958281?ul_noapp=true</ref> on eBay for $100. In the post, Chris also makes an off-hand comment about his mother being in need of funds.<ref>https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/1082011702022033410</ref>
{{quote|Another fine collectible from my mother’s collection; she is yelling for the money again. Ugh!|Chris, on Barb's M&Ms memorabilia.}}

==February '19==

Chris sold $164.94 worth of junk on [[eBay]].

==April '19==

*2nd - Chris is sued by Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC for an undisclosed amount, with a hearing scheduled on May 15th.
*4th - Chris shows off six purchased Poké Ball Plus toys in a Twitter post. He had purchased them from [[GameStop]]. Chris claimed he bought one brand new (a $50 price) and the other five used "at up to $15 savings difference", which would mean he still spent at least $200 on them.
*6th - Chris drives 150 miles to Newport News, VA, to visit fan [[Midnight Moonflower]]. He loses his wallet while in town.
*15th - Chris [[April 2019 social media posts#Chris Loses Her Wallet|drives to Newport News again to pick up his lost wallet]].
*23rd - Ending his 100+ day-long streak of not begging, Chris records [[We Need some gas money, Please, Help.]], saying that he needs $20 to fill up his van with gas.
*26th - Chris [[2019 Sales Listings#Rare coins|lists rare coins on eBay]], begging coin collectors to consider helping him and his mom. It's worth noting that these coins are among the only things of (non-Christorical) value Chris has tried to sell so far, although their value is lowered somewhat by the fact that they haven't been graded by a numismatic authority like NGC or PCGS.

2014 house fire

2020-08-12T17:14:10Z

Frenlyfrens:

{{Articleofthenow}}

{{Quote|FIRE! 2:00 AM. [[Jerkop|911]] arrived ten minutes later. Did everything they could; started downstairs; [[Mass debating|bathroom]]; electrical; made it to the roof. Considering EVERYTHING, but [[Barbara Chandler|my mom]], [[Clover and Snoopy|both dogs]], [[Chris|me]], and [[Chandler Cats|Lucy]] and my [[iDea Book Case|iPhone]], shoes, clothes, whatnot on our backs made it out... Considered physically lost.|Chris, 10 January 2014}}

On 10 [[January 2014]], [[14 Branchland Court]], [[Ruckersville, VA|Ruckersville, Virginia]] was devastated by '''an early morning fire'''. Chris first mentioned it on [[Facebook]], and it was confirmed later that day when [[Charlottesville]]'s local CBS affiliate, WCAV-TV, broadcast a brief news report on the incident.

{{Infobox/video
| name = Fire at 14 Branchland Court
| video = {{#ev:youtube|qkYnMRh26Oo}}
}}

==The Fire==
Shortly after the fire, leaked emails and Facebook posts from Chris helped set up his version of the timeline of events that fateful night. Naturally, what we heard from Chris and what was written in the official fire report obtained months later were quite different. Chris initially claimed that the fire started around 2:00 A.M.; however, the official report states that the 911 call wasn't received until 2:44 A.M. This is in line with what WCAV reported as well.

===Chris's Timeline of Events===
*'''2:00 EST''': According to Chris, this was approximately when the fire began.
*'''2:00-2:10''': Chris claimed that a fire extinguisher was present or was retrieved, and that there was an attempt to extinguish the fire, which ultimately failed. After the failed attempt to extinguish the fire, Chris evacuated the household, along with Barbara and the Chandler pets. Sometime during this period, emergency services were called.
*'''2:10''': Local firefighters arrive at the scene.

===Actual Timeline of Events===
[[File:14 Branchland Court on Fire - Copy.jpg|thumb|250px|Chris's house on fire. This photo is believed to have been taken around 4:00 A.M., more than an hour after the fire started.]]
The official fire report states that Chris's 911 call was actually [[Chris and reality|received at 2:44 A.M.]] and that fire personnel were on scene about 15 minutes later. WCAV stated the fire started around 3:00am. Almost immediately, the fire department asked for additional support to help fight the fire. The fire was put out by 6 A.M., and the scene was cleared by 7:00 A.M.

*'''2:45''': Dispatch tones 4 fire stations (Dyke, Ruckersville, Standardsville Fire, and Greene County Rescue Squad.) Dispatch relays "Fire in the downstairs bathroom."
*'''3:01''': Dispatcher relays that a lot of smoke is coming from the basement and flames are visible at the top of the steps.
*'''3:01''': Engine 11 requests Orange Company provide additional manpower.
*'''3:05''': Engine 21 is on scene and reports heavy smoke.
*'''3:06''': Engine 11 is on scene.
*'''3:13''': BVille (Burtonville?) Fire has been called for support.
*'''3:37''': Command requests dispatch contact the power company.
*'''3:45''': The fire has been burning for at least an hour at this point.
*'''3:47''': Station 2 is called for additional manpower.
*'''3:53''': Station 1 is called for additional manpower.
*'''4:05''': Heavy fire coming through roof.
*'''4:07''': Command requests Hollymead for additional manpower.
*'''4:45''': The fire has been burning for about two hours at this point.
*'''4:47''': Madison County contacted for additional personnel.
*'''5:00''': Rescue 401 leaves scene to transport one patient (Probably the injured firefighter) to Martha Jefferson Hospital.
*'''5:22''': Chris first breaks the news about the house fire on Facebook. He commented twice on the post in quick succession, lamenting the loss of personal belongings and the memories of his home, as well as stating he was able to salvage his mother's medication and his wallet. At the time of the posting, he was boarding with a generous neighbor.
*'''5-57-7:11''': All the remaining units on-scene are cleared to return to their stations.
*'''7:10''': Chris posted an angry comment on [[Wikipedia:Keurig|Keurig]]'s Facebook page, producer of the coffee brewer, blaming faulty wiring in the product for creating the spark that created the fire. Chris then admitted to operating the coffee brewer within the bathroom after responding to a comment from his friend [[William Elliott Waterman]], who vainly tried to calm Chris down and not seek vengeance so soon after the fire.
*'''7:30''': Sunrise.
*'''Later''': An e-mail from Chris is released giving more information about the event. It is revealed that Chris and Barbara were allowed to enter the house and retrieve [[Lego|necessities]] for living from the house, and are currently receiving [[Rental House|accommodation]] from their insurer while investigation and "repairs" are conducted.

<center>{{collapsible
|Fire Report
|<gallery perrow="5">
File:FireReport001.jpg
File:FireReport002.jpg
</gallery>}}</center>

There is no official word as to the cause of the fire, but the person who leaked the above fire report documents claims that it was caused by a spark from an extension cord run through the bathroom door, the plastic coating of which had worn away.<ref>http://cwckiforums.com/threads/fire-report-docs.4849/#post-337450</ref> Chris admitted to [[Catherine]] that he was using an extension cord in the bathroom to plug in a Keurig coffee maker located in an adjacent room. The cord was looped over the top of the door, and the friction caused by the motion of the door had abraded the cord, starting the fire. Chris claimed that the brewer was off when the fire started, although he admitted that [[Honor roll|it wasn't unplugged]]. Why the Chandlers had an extension cord running out of the bathroom to plug in a coffee maker is anyone's guess, but it probably has something to do with Barb's hoarding. It is worth noting that in [[Tour of Chris's House II|Chris's second video tour of his home]], coffee cups are spotted around his bathroom sink, suggesting that the bathroom has become the primary source of water. Said video also shows the blatant fire hazard that was his home, with piles of paper and plastic inside a barely standing structure of dry wood.

==Victims and survivors==
Chris reports that he, his mother, and his pets Clover, Snoopy and Lucy escaped the blaze unharmed. Unfortunately, one of his cats was killed in the blaze, and was discovered by the cleaners. Chris buried the cat in the backyard. It was initially unknown whether it was Scamper or Kitty, until [[CatKnight Interview 3|February 2016]] when Chris confirmed [[Chandler_Cats#Scamper|Scamper]] was the one who had died due to smoke inhalation. It's unknown what happened to the other cat before the fire, but it is likely that this death gives Chris nowhere near as much pain as the death of [[Patti Chandler|Patti]] did.

According to the news report, one of the firefighters suffered minor, unspecified injuries while putting out the fire. Considering how difficult it had been for Chris to navigate his junk-ridden hallways, it is likely that, in the rush to fight the fire, one firefighter may have tripped over the clutter or initiated an avalanche of [[navy]]-coated bric-a-bracs. Chris told Catherine and Al that firefighters were unable to enter the house through either door because of the hoard, and had to climb in through windows.

=== Firefighters ===
Unlike the local police departments of Greene County, Chris has historically been ambivalent towards firefighters. However, in the aftermath of the house fire, Chris and his mother both apparently blame the "greedy firefighters" for the absence of some of their personal possessions (which included a cheap knock-off painting and Barb's purse), effectively accusing them of theft. This information was revealed in an [[Misc_E-mails#Greedy_Firefighter|email]] leak after the incident. Insinuating that one of the brave and selfless firefighters who saved his home openly [[Chris and his Ego|stole from him]], especially when there were no grounds whatsoever for his implications, was a new low even for Chris. Once again, Chris showed complete ingratitude for anyone who tries to help him. Only time will tell if the Ruckersville Fire Department will again play a major part in Chris's pathetic life.

==Extent of destruction==
[[File:14305011100_debcde366f_b.jpg|thumb|Photo of the melted Lego Manchester High School, taken within the house on 11 Jan 2014.]]

It can be rightfully assumed that the Chandlers escaped with little more than the clothes on their backs. Chris wrote that he was able to save his wallet, Barb's medication, some clothes and shoes, and his iPhone (as shown in [[Brushfire Video|a later video uploaded through YouTube Capture]]). Soon after the fire, Chris was also observed on [[Miiverse]], not to mention he eventually bought ''Super Mario Maker'', heavily implying that he managed to save his Wii U and possibly at least one of his [[3DS]]'s. He could have also acquired another Wii U, but this is unlikely. He was also seen on his PSN, showing that he either still had his [[PS3]], or that he promptly acquired another (also unlikely.) He even had his old [[PSEye]].

In a [[Reaching Out to Game Developers.|video]] uploaded on 19 [[November 2015]], Chris shows off his [[Scrapbook of Fail]], confirming the fire did not destroy all of the original ''[[Sonichu]]'' comics and artwork.

Chris stated on Facebook that everything else was "considered physically lost." However, he later revealed to Catherine that his mother had rented a storage unit to hold items which had been recovered from the house. Al and Catherine also noted that the rental house was piled high with boxes and trash. As is typical of hoarders, Barb probably decided that much that was burned or water-damaged was actually salvageable.

A troll visited the house two days after the fire, and found that while the exterior structure of the house appeared largely intact, there was apparently sufficient damage to the roof that it had to be covered over with plastic cladding. Some of the exterior wood paneling had also warped and twisted, presumably due to being near where the fire was burning at its strongest, though due to the house's exact layout being unknown, it's hard to say where exactly this was. The house's windows had been boarded over (as is standard in house fires of this kind), making it impossible to get any exact details on the house's interior condition.

It is unclear to what extent Chris's personal possessions survived the flames. The [[Lego]] [[Manchester High School|High School]] escaped only partially melted, and he was able to use some of the smokey pieces to reconstruct the structure. He also employed his creative [[geinus]] to build a [[ReBrick#Billboard Person from Melting Chaos|surprisingly-original sculpture]] out of the damaged pieces. Two copies of his [[Manchester High School|high school]] yearbooks survived, albeit with smoke and water damage. At least one of his [[Pixelblocks]] creations and a [[medallion]] survived. In reply to a comment on his [[eBay]] auction of his autographed photos, Chris claimed that the [[Chris and fashion|"Classic" shirt]] was lost in the flames; however, three years later, he [[eBay#The Classic shirt|revealed]] the shirt had in fact survived, albeit badly damaged. He also confirmed that his Nintendo GameCube was a goner as well. No word yet on [[the Wall of Originals]], Chris's other [[Chris and art|art]], the [[Crumple-Lope]], the [[Sailor Moon Poster of Fail|''Sailor Moon'' poster]], the portal to [[CWCville]], the [[Attraction Sign]]s, the [[Heart Torch of Fail|Heart Torch]], and the [[Plush Breasts]]. Large numbers of schoolbooks and documents also survived the fire, but were thrown away once the renovations began.

Over the year, Chris bought multiple Lego sets to replace those lost. He also bought uncut ''Sailor Moon'' DVDs to replace the ones he gifted to Megan some seven years prior.

During the video [[Lesbian Sleepover Party Announcement.]], one of the oldest Christorical artifacts, the [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] totem/figure from Chris's [[Graduation]], was shown to have survived the fire.

On [[April 2017]] it was revealed that another famous Christorical artifact, [[The Classic]] survived the fire. However, it suffered from severe water damage. Despite that, it did not prevent Chris from trying to sell it on [[eBay]] and, when it didn't find a buyer, wearing it himself to special events.

==Aftermath and reaction==
In one of the most interesting and significant events regarding Chris's <s>fan</s>trollbase, a care package was put together from online donations, initially pooling a few hundred dollars in a matter of hours. The total amount in donations was worth almost a thousand American dollars<ref>https://kiwifar.ms/threads/fire-relief-fund.2855/page-12#post-169127</ref> and consisted of basic necessities with a few amenities thrown in (markers, paints and modeling stuff).

After being sent an incident occurred when a [[weening|troll]] used the tracking number that was posted on the Internet to have the package returned midway. The package was eventually held at a post office in [[Charlottesville]] and withdrawn by the Chandlers. Chris made a [[Facebook]] post about it, thanking those involved before -- ever the picture of gratitude -- diverging to express his distaste for the [[CWCki]]. A note was sent alongside the goods:

<blockquote>Hey Chris!

Your Sonichu friends have heard about the house fire, and to help you out we put together a care package as CWC as we could! In a few days, 34 donated and collected over $900 towards getting this stuff out to you!
Since your bathroom is where it started, I’ve focused on buying toiletries and hygienic stuff to keep you clean and healthy as you recover from the damages. I could not spend all the money collected, so I’ve also included a money order for $500 that you should give to your mother. She can cash it out and buy whatever you guys need to keep chugging. Don’t forget to get something nice for your pets, too!

I know you often feel that life is hopeless, but there’s good in the world and in people. I hope this package helps you see that. No person on the Internet can ever take away your right to be happy. You must find reasons to enjoy life, even when there are enemies trying to bring you down.

I’ve included some arts and crafts to help you take your mind off things. I think your fans would really like to see what you come up with, because it’s been a very long time since we’ve seen anything new from you. Try to create something that makes you happy and that you can be proud of.

Good luck with everything, Chris. Keep hate out of your heart and look forward to each day.
We will be around if you need us.
</blockquote>

==The Return of Chris's House==
On 3 [[December 2014]], Chris announced that 14 Branchland Court was being reconstructed, and by [[January 2015]] he was safely moved back in. Between those dates, however, he was forced to briefly stay at [[26 December 2014|Albemarle Regional Jail]]. Chris's newer videos show small areas of the now-renovated house - Chris's room, whilst still full of boxes of clutter and other things, has been repainted in magnolia and has had the wooden cladding removed, making the room look much lighter and less claustrophobic, for example. In addition, with the fire destroying much of the hoard, the building as a whole is in a much more sound condition, although only time will tell as to how long this will last.

=== Current state ===
In [[August 2020]], another [[Tour_of_Chris's_House_III|video]] of 14 Branchland Ct. emerged. Filmed sometime in early [[2018]], it shows the house back to its original cluttered state, with boxes of junk, furniture & toys again piled carelessly throughout the dwelling. Having obviously learned nothing from the house fire, only time will tell whether the Chandlers are in for a repeat of House Fire 2.0

[[Image:Loldesi.jpg|thumb|[[Trolls]] and [[Christian Weston Chandler's FUTURE MESSAGE|dudes of all teenages]] love Desi Chandler.]]

Chris and his family have had at least twelve '''cats''' over the years. Chris regularly [[Vivitheg's AIM chat|slips in their shit]]. It is not known whether the Chandlers actually own the cats, or if the cats were unfortunate enough to get lost within the piles of junk and were therefore unable to find their way to the outside world. Currently, Lucy, Sylvia, and Baby are still with the Chandlers as of [[2019]]. Eight of the cats are confirmed to be deceased and Liza was given away.

==Cats currently residing at 14 Branchland Court==
===Lucy===
[[Image:0840-Lucy.JPG|thumb|Lucy Chandler]]

'''Lucy''' is a cat named after Lucille Ball, the other star of ''[[I Love Lucy]]''. It is not known when she became a pet of the Chandlers, although it can be said for certain that she was a resident of 14 Branchland Court by 25 [[December 2004]], as she appears in [[ChandlerFamilyChristmas2004#Part 1|ChandlerFamilyChristmas Part 1]]. Of all the cats that have resided in the Chandler household Lucy is the one who has lived the longest.

Chris once greeted Lucy during a voice chat with [[Sarah May]], before Barbara told him to get off (before she goes off).<ref>[http://www.megavideo.com/?d=ZTK7XM3N]</ref>

A photo of Lucy was leaked in the great [[2013 Imgur Leak|2013 Facebook leak]]. Lucy survived the 2014 house fire along with Chris himself, Barb, and [[Clover and Snoopy]].<ref>[[January 2014 Facebook Posts#FIRE!]]</ref>

Chris posted a Facebook status on November 24, 2015 revealing Pollo, whom he introduces as a "new friend". Lucy made an appearance in Chris's "[[Seasons Greetings]]" video on December 13, 2015, where she sat in Chris's lap throughout the video, but got down the instant Chris asked her if she loved him.

Lucy was mentioned in a [[February 2019 social media posts|February 2019 survey]] as still being alive, making her over 15 years old, as well as the Chandlers' second longest-lasting known pet, after [[Patti Chandler|Patti]].
{{-}}

===Sylvia===

{{quote|We have two more kittens that snuck in as well, but they’re in hiding. 😸😸😸<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20181031044543/https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/1057421529590517760</ref>|Chris describing Sylvia and Liza.}}

[[File:Liza, Patches and Sylvia.jpg|From left to right: Liza, Patches and Sylvia.|thumb|250px]]

'''Sylvia''' is one of three stray kittens Chris took in October 2018. She made an appearance in ''[[Very Cool Birthday Present! :)]]''
<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20181031000827/https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/1057418773077151744</ref> Chris tried to scam people out of money by claiming that it would be used to buy medicine, which later turned out to have been in their possession all along.

{{clear}}

===Baby===
[[File:Baby.png|thumb|200px|Baby.]]
A male gold cat with a "nasal problem". First mentioned in an [[October 2019]] livestream in which Chris briefly discussed the cat, claiming it would be taken to a vet, then quickly changed the subject and demanded no one ask about the cat or "troll" him over it.
[[File:12.07.20_Outside_House.jpg|thumb|200px|Baby seen in an August 2020 photo.]]
{{quotebox|In case you're wondering what that was, that's a cat - Baby, our gold cat, Baby. He has a bit of a nasal problem, okay, we're taking him to the vet. He's alright, okay, we're taking care of him... So don't ask about that! Don't troll me about that! Do not troll me about that!<ref>[[Chris Chan Sonichu plays Twilight Sparkle’s Secret Shipfic Folder, Solitaire]]</ref>}}

The cat briefly appeared at the 6:40 mark in the subsequent livestream [[Playing Twilight Sparkle’s Secret Shipfic Folder with the New Sonichu Deck!]].
{{-}}

===Stray Cats===
[[File:PokeGoCompass2.jpg|thumb|150px|Two local strays can be seen at the top of the steps in this March 2019 photo.]]

Due to the neglect on [[Sonichu Headquarters]]'s yard, a population of stray cats live there, taking advantage of the unkempt lawn, the many hiding spots, and a plentiful food source. A fan who visited the property in August 2019 counted at least five such cats.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/ChrisChanSonichu/comments/fdf3wc/anyone_else_gone_to_ruckersville/fjhz5bl/</ref> Some of the most recent cats to become official Chandler pets were in fact found when they happen to wonder into Chris's sight, accidentally setting foot inside.

==Cats adopted out==
===Liza===
[[File:Tingles.jpeg|A photo of the kitten at the new home.|thumb|200px]]

'''Liza''', one of the three stray kittens Chris took in during October 2018, was adopted out to a friend of his from [[The End Games]], after [[The Captain]] arranged communication between them.<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20181104200921/https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/1059171974365073408</ref> The Captain also revealed that Liza is actually male and was renamed by his new owner as '''Tingles'''.

==Deceased Cats==
===Desi===
[[Image:0837-Desi.JPG|thumb|Desi Chandler]]

'''Desi''' is a [[Wikipedia:Tabby cat|tabby]] named after [[Wikipedia:Desi Arnaz|Desi Arnaz]] (one of two cats named after the stars of ''[[I Love Lucy]]'', one of the Chandler family's favorite TV shows). It is not known when he became a pet of the Chandlers, although it can be said for certain that he was a resident of 14 Branchland Court by 25 December 2004, as he appears in [[ChandlerFamilyChristmas2004#Part 1|ChandlerFamilyChristmas Part 1]]. Desi also makes an appearance in Chris's [[Christian Weston Chandler's FUTURE MESSAGE|future message]]. In a [[Facebook messages#Christina Katherine Trevillian|Facebook message]] sent on 30 January 2008, Chris mentions having five cats. If it is correct to assume that Chris owned no more cats than the five mentioned in this article, we can conclude Desi was still alive at the time. However, in an e-mail sent to [[Blanca]] on 19 [[August 2008]], Chris mentions having only three cats. In an e-mail sent to [[Jackie]] on 10 [[April 2010]], Chris gave the names of his three remaining cats,<ref name="ReferenceA">[[Jackie_E-mails#Chris_is_lazy.2C_Hates_simple_chores]]</ref> with Desi not being among them. Based on this info, it can be inferred that Desi was no longer a part of Chris's household since as early as August 2008. It is not known whether Desi died, ran away or was given by the Chandler family to someone else.
{{-}}

===Scamper===
[[Image:0723-Scamper.JPG|thumb|Scamper Chandler]]

'''Scamper''' is the second of Chris's cats. Originally confused with Desi, Scamper was a black and white coated cat. In [[ChandlerFamilyChristmas2004#Part 1]], which was made on 25 [[December 2004]], Chris mentions having two cats (Desi and Lucy). This suggests that Scamper was not yet a part of the Chandler household at that time. Clues from [[Sonichu 6|''Sonichu'' #6]] incidcate that he was most likely a pet of Chris by the time Patti's death (27 June 2006<ref name="Eulogy" />). [[Sonichu 6#Episode 12.5: "One Lucky Dog"|Episode 12.5]] features an alternate reality in which Patti does not die on 27 June 2006. When Chris's character in the comics goes to feed Patti on that day, he encounters Scamper along the way.<ref>[[Sonichu 6]], pp. [http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Issue_6/Page_2 1-2].</ref> It is not unlikely that this is a reflection of reality, meaning that Scamper was already in Chris's possession by the time Patti died. It can be said with even greater certainty that Scampers was already living at 14 Branchland Court by the time of July [[2006]], as Chris started making ''Sonichu'' #6 on that month.<ref>[[:File:Sonichu Issue 6.jpg|Cover of Sonichu 6]].</ref>

Scamper briefly shows up during the infamous [[Tour of Chris's House|Tour of Christian's House]], in which he pauses for a moment before going outside to talk to them before continuing on his way. Other than that, Scamper appeared in comparatively few videos compared to Chris's other pets.

Very little info about him exists, except that, like Desi, he was not house-trained and shat everywhere. An email sent by Chris to Jackie confirms that Scamper was still living at 14 Branchland Court on 10 [[April 2010]], along with Kitty and Lucy.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> He showed up in [[Tour of Chris's House II]]. The precise date in which the video was made is not known. Chris's narration in the video suggest that [[Bob]] was already dead on the time, suggesting that the video was shot after Bob's passing at 6 [[September 2011]].<ref>https://archive.today/pmvzP</ref>

Chris [[CatKnight Interview 3|confirmed in February of 2016]] that Scamper was killed in the [[Destruction Of Chris' House|house fire]] in [[January 2014]]. According to Chris, the cleaners found the body of the cat behind the toilet, dead from smoke inhalation. The Chandlers buried Scamper in the backyard and had a moment of silence, but Chris seemed very apathetic about one of his pets passing. Prior to this, it was unclear whether it was Scamper or Kitty who was killed in the fire.
{{-}}

===Skittles===
[[Image:0724-Skittles.JPG|thumb|Skittles Chandler: Note the [[Fangs|fang]] sticking out of its mouth]]

'''Skittles''' is the fourth known cat of the Chandlers and was approximately 21 years old based on accounts from troll field agents. Skittles looked like a half-dead lynx on crack.

Very little is known of Skittles or its gender, but given the name it can be assumed that it belonged to the Chandlers, as only someone batshit crazy or over the age of 50 would name a cat Skittles. Chris probably named it after [[Obesity|his favorite candy]] (at least "Skittles" is more dignifying for the cat than to be named after a Sonichu character).

Based on the [[Jackie e-mails]], it was presumed dead or missing in action by 2011.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>
{{-}}

===Kitty===
[[Image:0057-KittyBW.jpg|thumb|Kitty, the demon-possessed cat]]

Cat number 5. '''Kitty''' seems to be the cat no one really seemed to care about, evidenced by the fact that she was simply named "Kitty". In [[ChandlerFamilyChristmas2004#Part 1]], which was made on 25 [[December 2004]], Chris mentions having two cats (Desi and Lucy). This suggests that Kitty was not yet a part of the Chandler household at that time. According to Chris, Kitty was a good friend of [[Patti Chandler|Patti]], the Chandler dog.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> Since Patti died on 27 [[June 2006]],<ref name="Eulogy">[[Chris emails 2004-2006#September 2006]]</ref> this would mean that Kitty was already a pet of Chris for some time prior to that date. An email sent by Chris to Jackie confirms that Kitty was still living at 14 Branchland Court on 10 [[April 2010]], along with Lucy and Scampers.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>

Kitty made an appearance in [[Tour of Christian's House|Chris's tour of his house]], and starred in the [[20 December 2009|''Captain's Log'' video]] of 20 [[December 2009]], where it was revealed that this cat can be added to the long list of [[Trolls|things that hate Chris]]. Chris believes that it is normal for cats to hiss at, bite, and scratch people who pick them up, which suggests that his other cats behave this way as well.

With Chris's confirmation that it was Scamper who died in the house fire, Kitty's status is unknown. It is unclear whether she died, ran away, or was given away by the Chandlers (unlikely, given her aggressive behavior), or when she left the Chandler household. All that is certain is that she was no longer in the Chandlers' possession by January of 2014.

===Pollo===
[[File:Pollo chandler.jpg|thumb|250px|Pollo Chandler]]

'''Pollo''' was introduced to the Chandler Household on 24 [[November 2015]]. Pollo [ˈpo.ʝo] is [[Spanish]] for "chicken", although it is also a shortening of "Apollo". Chris pronounces his name "pole oh", probably in an attempt to sound British, although "pollo" is pronounced the same way in England as it is in the rest of the English-speaking world (also unintentionally referencing the [[Wikipedia:Polo (confectionery)|British mints]] of the same name). His existence was revealed to the world by Chris via a [[Facebook]] status, which also confirmed that, as of November 24, 2015, Lucy is still alive as well. Pollo was referred to in the status as "Lucy's new friend".

In the "[[Seasons Greetings]]" video, uploaded on December 13, 2015, Chris states that Pollo is an outside cat. Pollo makes his first appearance on video in [[Lesbian Sleepover Party Announcement]]. He seemed to be in good health and shows affection for Chris, nuzzling him a few times.

Pollo made his second appearance in [[Chris's Specimen Sample]], still showing affection towards Chris. Viewers have noted the particularly large and loud collar he wears, and the fact that Chris attempts to get him to look at the camera.

He was featured in [[Happy Cat, Pollo *kiss* *kiss*]].

Just after midnight on 20 May 2018, Chris tweeted that Pollo was dying, posting a photo of him wrapped up in a blanket and saying Pollo was having difficulty breathing. As Chris was broke, he made a plea for [[eBay]] sales money in order to afford a trip to the vet if Pollo survived.<ref>[[May 2018 social media posts#Pollo is dying]]</ref>

Sadly, Pollo passed away by early morning.<ref>https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/998271176710406144</ref> He had been over 15 years old, an old age for a cat, at the time of his passing and was buried next to [[Patti Chandler|Patti]].<ref>https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/998271909816033280</ref>

{{-}}

===Sorbet===
[[File:Sorbet2.jpg|thumb|250px|Sorbet Chandler]]
Chris [[September 2016 Facebook posts#Another new cat|announced on Facebook]] on 19 [[September 2016]] that he had a new cat, which he named Sorbet ("sor-BAY") because the cat's orange color reminded him of orange sorbet, a frozen fruit juice dessert similar to sherbet. Sorbet was part of a litter of four stray cats whom the Chandlers had been feeding for several months prior to September 2016. Two of the cats "went elsewhere", though Sorbet and his sister (whom Chris called "Orange Cream" because of her orange and white colors) remained. It currently is not known whether or not Chris has taken in both cats.

Half of Sorbet's left rear paw is missing, appearing to have been cut off. Chris found an inexpensive vet to treat the wound and allow Sorbet to be able to walk better. Chris kept him in his bedroom, with Lucy there to keep him company. Chris has stated that the donations he had been receiving from [[fans]] had helped him to better afford Sorbet's operation.

Like Pollo, Sorbet seems to be considerably more friendly towards Chris, and seems quite happy with being held. ''Unlike'' Pollo, Chris actually pronounces the name correctly ("sor-bay").

Sorbet makes a brief cameo in [[Eid, Pmurt, Eid]], where the camera angle towards the end of the video shows that he is being held by Chris as he kicks a [[Transformers]] toy in a fit of [[Chris and anger|tard rage]] over [[Pmurt|Donald Trump]] winning the Presidential election.

[[File:Sorbet Sept2017.jpg||thumb|left|Sorbet, in a photo taken a few months after the accident.]]
Sorbet wandered off and was hit by a car on 19 [[May 2017]].
{{Quote|Sorbet was found today, by a neighbor. He had not returned home last night. Thank [[God]] I put my number on his tag. A neighbor found him, looking hurt, hiding in a gutter under their driveway. It took effort, and a water spray from a hose. We got him out; he suffered some head trauma; uneven pupil dialation, bruises and dings; some bleeding. Doctor said it looked like he was hit by a car. He's staying at the vet over the weekend for examination and bathing. Say a prayer for Sorbet in his quick recovery. We all love him. — feeling sad.<ref>[[May_2017_Facebook_posts]]</ref>}}
Uneven pupil dilation is a classic sign of [[Wikipedia:Traumatic brain injury|traumatic brain injury]], so it was speculated that Sorbet may not live for very long afterwards. Fortunately however, Chris [[May_2017_Facebook_posts#Sorbet back from the vet, recovering|did later confirm that]] Sorbet returned home and recovered from his injuries after a short stay at the vet, having been cleaned up and confirmed to still have his sight and hearing. However, Chris later released a [[Sorbet's still recovering, with a nasal problem. Poor boy|video]] on the 29th of May where Sorbet is shown to have breathing difficulties.
{{-}}

Chris posted a photo of his cat Lucy for International Cat Day on 8 [[August 2017]]. Among Chris' followers, the lack of photos of Sorbet raised speculation of the cat's passing. To counter this claim, Chris shared a photo of Sorbet.<ref>[https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/895243822543798272 Twitter photo of Sorbet]</ref> He appears again in the videos of Chris watching the [[Crescent_Eclipse|solar eclipse]] at the end of August, but his condition appears to have deteriorated – his eye is very dilated and glossy, and his breathing is painfully loud and strained. Despite his injuries and potential illness, he still attempts to show affection towards Chris, but his attempts at meowing come out as strained snorts and gurgles, indicating that he may have fluid in his lungs; whether this is a complication of the accident or an undiagnosed illness is not yet known.

On 17 [[May 2018]], Sorbet was declared missing, as confirmed by Chris' Facebook posts.<ref>[[May 2018 social media posts#Sorbet is Missing]]</ref> Just 3 days after Sorbet's disappearance, Pollo died of natural causes, leading to two losses for the Chandler household within a single week. Three months later, Chris confirmed with a [[Kiwi Farms]] user that Sorbet is officially dead. Like [[Patti Chandler]], Sorbet's soul is cursed to roam [[CWCville]] for all eternity.<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/sorbet-confirmed-kia.49289/</ref>

===Patches===
[[File:Patches with Chris, 31 October 2018.jpeg|thumb|200px|"Here’s Patches! My little shoulder friend. 😊⚡️💙⚡️"]]

'''Patches''' was the 8th of the Chandler cats and one of the three stray kittens Chris took in during October 2018. He was the first to come out and socialize on 30 [[October 2018]]. Upon discovery, he was taken to a vet for a checkup and be medicated for conjunctivitis on his left eye.<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20181031000827/https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/1057418773077151744</ref>

Of all the cats, Patches had the shortest time as Chris's pet. A week later, on 6 November, Patches passed away, apparently from complications from pneumonia,<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/posts/3948697/</ref> after Chris had taken him to the vet multiple times.<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/posts/3947724/</ref>

{{clear}}

===Possie===
[[File:NewCat2.jpg|250px|thumb|Possie]]

'''Possie''' was another stray kitten Chris adopted on 11 August 2019. She wandered inside while Barb was giving [[Clover and Snoopy]] a bath.<ref>[[August 2019 social media posts#Chris gets a new cat]]</ref> However, she died after about two weeks, with the cause of death claimed by Chris to have been an unspecified illness. The exact date of Possie's death is unknown as Chris only mentioned it in reply to a fan inquiring about the kitten.

Chris's room (14 Branchland Court)

2020-08-10T17:35:30Z

Frenlyfrens: /* Images */

{{quote|I get ants in my bed a bunch of times (annoying, just the same); I spray some Raid on the walls, and I’m safe.|Chris, replying to a Twitter comment on bedbugs<ref>[https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1159825799257739270 Tweet from August 2019].</ref>}}

[[Image:Panorama.jpg|A panoramic view of the dragon's lair.|thumb|center|666px]]
[[Image:0828-EP12-5P7-1.jpg|There is no escape, [[FUTURE MESSAGE|YOUNG LADY]].|thumb|200px]]

'''[[Chris]]'s room''' is where he has spent a majority of his adult life. It is where he keeps all his [[toys]], [[video games]], posters, art, and other assorted paraphernalia, and when he's not outside attempting to interact with others (provided the place he's going to [[List of places that have banned Chris|hasn't banned him]]), he's usually doing something in his room.

==Old room==
[[Image:Chrischansroom15xt7.jpg|200px|thumb|right|A rough map of Chris's room pre-[[Destruction Of Chris's House|house fire]].]]

Chris's bedroom was on the second floor of [[14 Branchland Court|his house]], with 2 windows on the northwest wall. Based on Chris's [[Tour of Christian's House|video tour]] of his house, his cluttered room was actually the ''cleanest'' room in the house, which may explain why so much of his time was spent there.

Chris's room, like most bedrooms, also summed up many of his awful habits and traits:
* His incredible attachment to material possessions, as evidenced by the massive amounts of clutter.
* His incredible laziness, as evidenced by how much of said clutter was scattered haphazardly on the floor, bed and couch.
* In contrast, the careful and orderly arrangement of his [[video games]], [[DVD]]s, [[trading cards]], posters, and [[toys]] shows how they rank on his list of priorities against things like [[Wendy's|work]], [[education]], [[gal-pals|human]] [[Sweetheart|relationships]], or [[Autism|personal development]].
* The [[Megan Shrine]], the definite and unquestionable proof of Chris's obsession with the only person that has ever been friendly to him, whom he drove away all on his own.
* The prevalence of [[Pokémon]], [[Sonic the Hedgehog]], and other franchises aimed at children — people of the same mental and emotional age as Chris.
* The majority of his possessions are toys or video games — objects which perform predictably [[Chris_and_his_Ego#Materialism|within his absolute control]].
* He also shows extreme hoarding behavior that is commonly found in [[Barb|the elderly]], [[Abusive babysitter|formerly abused children]] and the autistic.
* The stench, not visible on video or photograph, can still be inferred from the many accounts of [[11042009 51 50|sweat]], [[DIRTY, CRAPPED BRIEFS|feces]], and [[SpaghettiRoutine|rotten food]] left around. Let's put it this way: he once told [[Ivy]] that one Glade air freshener ''wasn't enough.''<ref>[[Ivy Q&A]]</ref>
* Finally, Chris retreated to his room whenever he felt the slightest bit of [[stress]], refused to discard his detritus, and saw it as the gateway to his fantasy world of [[CWCville]]; it is safe to assume the toys which he claims to play with for 2-3 hours a day<ref>[[Mailbag_25#In which Chris tells us how many hours he plays with toys a day|Mailbag #25]]</ref> are like a physical extension of his own imaginary world that provide a sense of safety and comfort.

In [[February 2009]], [[Clyde Cash]] forced Chris to [[Captain's Log, Stardate February 10th, 2009|clean up his room a bit]].

Besides Chris, only two other people have been seen venturing into the cesspool he calls his room: [[Bob Chandler]], as exposed in a [[THAT IS MY HOUSE#Uncut|leaked video]], and the [[Magical Man]], as seen in [[Magical Man Potion]]. One animal, [[Kitty Chandler]], was shown in Chris's room in [[20 December 2009|another video]].

After the blazing fires of [[10 January 2014]] and the brief residence-taking of the Rental House, Chris and [[Barb]] moved back into 14 Branchland Court in [[2015]]. He moved into another room and left the old one to be used for storage.

===Images===
These images are arranged beginning at the northeastern wall of the room, going counter-clockwise. Not included here are photographs of the southeastern wall and east corner.

The [[Tomgirl Pictures]], released on 29 [[April 2011]], seemed to indicate that the Wall of Originals was either removed or gone.

===Post-fire===
[[File:Boxes1.jpg|thumb|Chris's old room, pictured in 2016|250px]]

As of 2016, the room is used for storage.<ref>[[August 2016 Facebook posts#House Cleaning]]</ref> He also mentioned the room in a Facebook post from [[December 2016]], in which he described Sorbet getting stuck in his "old bedroom" for the better part of the night.
{{clear}}

==New room==
[[File:IMG 3207 hd720.mp400001.png|thumb|Chris, pictured in his new bedroom circa 2016.]]

Footage of the new room, after the post-fire house renovations, first appeared in [[HelloLadyFans]]. It is located on the first floor, near the stairs that lead to the upstairs kitchen<ref>[[Chris's Specimen Sample]]</ref>.

In his room, Chris has a bed - which he had bought with [[DStecks]]'s $1,000 donation; during 2018, at the age of 36, he purchased [[My Little Pony]]-themed bedding for it.

As if this wasn't enough fail, he also keeps a drawing of his [[Polyamorous marriage|wife and husband]] taped to the ceiling.

The [[Sonic Totem]] was stationed in this room until he sold it. In a move reminiscent of the Christmas tree that was abandoned in the [[Kitchen]] pre-fire, Chris kept a tree in his room months after Christmas, as shown in [[IMG 3207]], until [[Idea Guy]] tricked him into destroying it on camera in [[Get Out, You D*** Nazis!]]. In [[Tour of Chris's House III]], we can see his new room is already cluttered with clothes and junk--and yet, it's still the least-hoarded area in the house. Some of what "decorated" the original room for over a decade (posters, drawings, plush toys, figures, electronic devices, etc.) was lost or put elsewhere in the house. The rest was scattered onto tables in his "work room."

The Idea Guys directed Chris to record himself pissing and shitting on a towel on the floor in this room<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/yt-8-13-hasbro-mlp-g4-must-continue-no-mlp-g5.46554/post-3660270</ref> - one leaked example is in the [[All Star]] video. Chris [[Shoe Colouring|spray-painted his shoes]] in this room, staining the carpet in the process.

==Work room==
[[File:Please, Donate (720p).mp400001.png|thumb|Chris, begging for money in the same room he keeps his thousands of dollars worth of toys.]]

Chris currently keeps most of his vast collection of toys in this room. It is presumably the once-inaccessible living room seen in the [[Tour of Chris's House|house tour]].

He mentioned it by name in [[IMG 3207]], where he said that he was in his bedroom, which is separate from his "work room." By "work," he meant making products such as Amiibos and drawings for his [[Etsy]] shop. About a week after calling it the work room, Chris was banned from selling on Etsy for failing to fulfill orders.

Ironically, this is the room where he recorded himself begging for money the most during the [[Financhu Crisis]]. While begging, he kept his toys in full view behind him, demonstrating that he has no sense of self-awareness.

Most of his videos from 2015 onward were recorded in this room.

Chris's room (14 Branchland Court)

'''[[Chris]]'s room''' is where he has spent a majority of his adult life. It is where he keeps all his [[toys]], [[video games]], posters, art, and other assorted paraphernalia, and when he's not outside attempting to interact with others (provided the place he's going to [[List of places that have banned Chris|hasn't banned him]]), he's usually doing something in his room.

==Old room==
[[Image:Chrischansroom15xt7.jpg|200px|thumb|right|A rough map of Chris's room pre-[[Destruction Of Chris's House|house fire]].]]

Chris's bedroom was on the second floor of [[14 Branchland Court|his house]], with 2 windows on the northwest wall. Based on Chris's [[Tour of Christian's House|video tour]] of his house, his cluttered room was actually the ''cleanest'' room in the house, which may explain why so much of his time was spent there.

Chris's room, like most bedrooms, also summed up many of his awful habits and traits:
* His incredible attachment to material possessions, as evidenced by the massive amounts of clutter.
* His incredible laziness, as evidenced by how much of said clutter was scattered haphazardly on the floor, bed and couch.
* In contrast, the careful and orderly arrangement of his [[video games]], [[DVD]]s, [[trading cards]], posters, and [[toys]] shows how they rank on his list of priorities against things like [[Wendy's|work]], [[education]], [[gal-pals|human]] [[Sweetheart|relationships]], or [[Autism|personal development]].
* The [[Megan Shrine]], the definite and unquestionable proof of Chris's obsession with the only person that has ever been friendly to him, whom he drove away all on his own.
* The prevalence of [[Pokémon]], [[Sonic the Hedgehog]], and other franchises aimed at children — people of the same mental and emotional age as Chris.
* The majority of his possessions are toys or video games — objects which perform predictably [[Chris_and_his_Ego#Materialism|within his absolute control]].
* He also shows extreme hoarding behavior that is commonly found in [[Barb|the elderly]], [[Abusive babysitter|formerly abused children]] and the autistic.
* The stench, not visible on video or photograph, can still be inferred from the many accounts of [[11042009 51 50|sweat]], [[DIRTY, CRAPPED BRIEFS|feces]], and [[SpaghettiRoutine|rotten food]] left around. Let's put it this way: he once told [[Ivy]] that one Glade air freshener ''wasn't enough.''<ref>[[Ivy Q&A]]</ref>
* Finally, Chris retreated to his room whenever he felt the slightest bit of [[stress]], refused to discard his detritus, and saw it as the gateway to his fantasy world of [[CWCville]]; it is safe to assume the toys which he claims to play with for 2-3 hours a day<ref>[[Mailbag_25#In which Chris tells us how many hours he plays with toys a day|Mailbag #25]]</ref> are like a physical extension of his own imaginary world that provide a sense of safety and comfort.

In [[February 2009]], [[Clyde Cash]] forced Chris to [[Captain's Log, Stardate February 10th, 2009|clean up his room a bit]].

Besides Chris, only two other people have been seen venturing into the cesspool he calls his room: [[Bob Chandler]], as exposed in a [[THAT IS MY HOUSE#Uncut|leaked video]], and the [[Magical Man]], as seen in [[Magical Man Potion]]. One animal, [[Kitty Chandler]], was shown in Chris's room in [[20 December 2009|another video]].

After the blazing fires of [[10 January 2014]] and the brief residence-taking of the Rental House, Chris and [[Barb]] moved back into 14 Branchland Court in [[2015]]. He moved into another room and left the old one to be used for storage.

These images are arranged beginning at the northeastern wall of the room, going counter-clockwise. Not included here are photographs of the southeastern wall and east corner.

The [[Tomgirl Pictures]], released on 29 [[April 2011]], seemed to indicate that the Wall of Originals was either removed or gone.

As of 2016, the room is used for storage.<ref>[[August 2016 Facebook posts#House Cleaning]]</ref> He also mentioned the room in a Facebook post from [[December 2016]], in which he described Sorbet getting stuck in his "old bedroom" for the better part of the night.

==New room==
[[File:IMG 3207 hd720.mp400001.png|thumb|Chris, pictured in his new bedroom circa 2016.]]

Footage of the new room, after the post-fire house renovations, first appeared in [[HelloLadyFans]]. It is located on the first floor, near the stairs that lead to the upstairs kitchen<ref>[[Chris's Specimen Sample]]</ref>.

In his room, Chris has a bed - which he had bought with [[DStecks]]'s $1,000 donation; during 2018, at the age of 36, he purchased [[My Little Pony]]-themed bedding for it.

As if this wasn't enough fail, he also keeps a drawing of his [[Polyamorous marriage|wife and husband]] taped to the ceiling.

The [[Sonic Totem]] was stationed in this room until he sold it. In a move reminiscent of the Christmas tree that was abandoned in the [[Kitchen]] pre-fire, Chris kept a tree in his room months after Christmas, as shown in [[IMG 3207]], until [[Idea Guy]] tricked him into destroying it on camera in [[Get Out, You D*** Nazis!]]. In [[Tour of Chris's House III]], we can see his new room is already cluttered with clothes and junk--and yet, it's still the least-hoarded area in the house. Some of what "decorated" the original room for over a decade (posters, drawings, plush toys, figures, electronic devices, etc.) was lost or put elsewhere in the house. The rest was scattered onto tables in his "work room."

The Idea Guys directed Chris to record himself pissing and shitting on a towel on the floor in this room<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/yt-8-13-hasbro-mlp-g4-must-continue-no-mlp-g5.46554/post-3660270</ref> - one leaked example is in the [[All Star]] video. Chris [[Shoe Colouring|spray-painted his shoes]] in this room, staining the carpet in the process.

[[File:Please, Donate (720p).mp400001.png|thumb|Chris, begging for money in the same room he keeps his thousands of dollars worth of toys.]]

Chris currently keeps most of his vast collection of toys in this room. It is presumably the once-inaccessible living room seen in the [[Tour of Chris's House|house tour]].

He mentioned it by name in [[IMG 3207]], where he said that he was in his bedroom, which is separate from his "work room." By "work," he meant making products such as Amiibos and drawings for his [[Etsy]] shop. About a week after calling it the work room, Chris was banned from selling on Etsy for failing to fulfill orders.

Ironically, this is the room where he recorded himself begging for money the most during the [[Financhu Crisis]]. While begging, he kept his toys in full view behind him, demonstrating that he has no sense of self-awareness.

Most of his videos from 2015 onward were recorded in this room.

Depressingly, he has filmed many videos of himself sitting at the desk and bashing action figures into each other like a child.

[[File:Please, Donate (720p).mp400001.png ‎|thumb|400px|Chris's online activity for much of 2016]]

The '''Financhu Crisis''' is a term coined by users from [[CWCki Forums|Kiwi Farms]] to describe the steep decline in the Chandler family's [[Chris and money|financial management]] beginning in early [[2016]]. Signs of the Chandlers' worsening finances were made apparent by the increasing amounts of begging videos and donation requests on [https://sonichu.com/cwcki/YouTube YouTube] and [https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Facebook Facebook].

In June 2017, Chris began to take his [[Patreon]] account more seriously and recommenced drawing Sonichu comic pages. He has gotten several hundred dollars per month for his efforts, and continues to get as much to this day. As a result, begging had temporarily subsided. In mid-2018, however, begging resumed, for the stated purposes of avoiding foreclosure on [[14 Branchland Court]] and buying enough food for his family. Meanwhile Chris has been [[Chris and the law|sued]] for debts by several collecting agencies.

As of [[2019]], Chris has turned a blind eye to the Financhu Crisis because of the [[Dimensional Merge]]. Believing that he has vast wealth stored away in [[CWCville]] that should soon become available to him, he has again stopped begging. Given that [[Barbara Chandler|Barb]] is elderly on a [[tugboat|fixed income]], and [[Chris]] is [[Chris and stress|''lazy'']] on a fixed income, one could only bleakly speculate what will happen when Chris is eventually left to fend for himself once Barb passes away.

==Background==
[[File:Financhu Wordle.png ‎|thumb|400px|A wordcloud of the videos and Facebook posts Chris made during the Financhu Crisis. Note how big "money" and "donations" are...]]

To this day, the Chandlers' financial woes are caused by their own irresponsible behaviors. Chris, [[Chris and money|learning absolutely nothing over the years]], has squandered any available money on [[Lego|children's toys]], [[PS4|video games]], [[McDonald's|fast food]] and [[sex toys]]. Barb, on the other hand, has simply been ignoring long-term debts and letting them pile up to alarming amounts, armed only with vain hopes that her manbaby would raise money for her bills.

'''Chris''' has made some efforts to generate income for the household over the past few years (bar that of [[Chris and stress|actually finding a job]]), which included opening an [[Etsy|Etsy shop]] in [[2015]]. However, any profits gained would immediately go straight to toy purchases, an irresponsible move that would to turn out to be a recurring problem that keeps the Chandlers in the red. The shop would eventually shut down from Chris lazily not fulfilling Etsy orders, but he would still find some revenue by the occasional [[eBay]] sales of select merch from the [[14 Branchland Court|hoard]]. To further compound the issue, Chris has been instilled with a very real belief that [[fans]] are willing to drop large sums of money into his bank account [[Chris and his ego|for nothing]], an expectation that has since been strengthened by the $1,000 donation by [[DStecks]] in [[September 2015]]. This belief would take on the form of the many begging videos that highlight the saga to this day.

'''Barb''' seems to have outstanding debts that dwarf Chris's financial handiwork. On [[September 2016]], she faced lawsuits from Discover and Capital One for failing to pay the large amounts of her credit card debt, according to Virginia District Court records. It is worth noting that it takes a lot of ignored [[Trolls|debt collector]] calls over a long period of time to get a simple credit card debt escalated to a lawsuit, suggesting that Barb may have been outright ignoring making any payments to her credit cards. Only time will tell if more creditor companies begin to sue Barb for her neglect. In [[August 2016]], Chris revealed that the household is still under a [[14 Branchland Court#Mortgage|mortgage of $115,000]], introducing a far more worrying debt looming over the horizon.

Both Chris and Barb continue to barely stay afloat with their lives thanks to their own [[tugboat]]s, but their inactive lifestyle and reckless spending will not last forever at this rate.

Despite it all, '''Chris has not once attempted to find a job'''. In April 2017, with the household finances near the breaking point, one of Chris's IRL friends informed him of [https://www.vadars.org/ DARS], a service designed to help people with disabilities enter the workforce. [[Chris and his Ego|Chris reacted ''with a temper tantrum, posting a multi-paragraph rant on not wanting to work'']].

==Outstanding debts==
This table summarizes various unpaid debts charged to credit cards and other owed amounts between Chris and Barb. Keep in mind that these are only amounts found by [[CWCki|Christorians]] via Chris' online posts and Virginia District Court public records.

On 30 November 2016, Chris started a [[Patreon]] with a goal of '''$250,000'''; he estimates $200,000 to pay off the mortgage and other debts, plus an extra $50,000 for himself, [[Chris and negotiation|just ''because'']].

==Chris's frivolous spending during the crisis==
[[File:Had-to-pay-3fyhaf (credit to Gunslinger).png|thumb|300px|A recurring theme throughout the Crisis.]]

Like any terminally irresponsible adult, Chris likes to keep his [[bedroom]] filled with toys, while [[Chris and money|keeping his wallet empty]]. Below is a list of the known expenses Chris has made during the Financhu Crisis, collected from online postings and eBay purchase history. Some amounts are estimated, but all amounts are debilitating.

During [[2016]], Chris was known to waste over $2,500 on toys.

In late 2017, Chris spent a considerable amount of money to attend [[Bronycon]]. 3-day pass tickets were around $60, but money spent on travel, food, souvenirs, and lodging is rounded to $2,000-3,000 by other attendees.

Below is a list of ''known'' frivolous purchases made during the Crisis. There are doubtless many more that are not known about, including cash purchases.

==Why Chris refuses to work==
Despite actively begging for money since 2016, Chris has not attempted to get a job (then again, the [[Cutco|last job he's had]] dates all the way back to [[2003]]). One of his IRL friends, a woman from his Pokémon club named Alexa P., became concerned after seeing Chris repeatedly beg on Facebook. She suggested, in November 2016,<ref>[[November 2016 Facebook posts#Barb pawns jewelry, Chris decides to join Patreon]]</ref> and again in April 2017,<ref name=getajob/> that he contact one of her family members who works at Virginia DARS, a government service that helps disabled individuals find work. At the first suggestion, Chris didn't follow through, and at the second, he fired off a rant about why he was unwilling to get a job, and Alexa then gave up trying to help him.

In his rant, Chris gave the following flimsy excuses:

* He was busy with helping Barb and the pets (though he had no qualms towards going on [[BronyCon|a three-day trip to another state]] without bringing them along in August 2017).
* [[Chris and his Ego|Trolls ruined his "background check"/reputation]]. While it is true that a Google search on Chris reveals unsavory details, they are only records of facts, and there are agencies that find work for [[slow-in-the-mind]] adults that would not care about minor crimes or indiscretions.
* Finding a job runs the risk of being discriminated against for his [[tomgirl]] gender.
* [[Chris and stress|Stress]].
* He fears being incompetent.

Months later, in October 2017, Chris reiterated his excuse of helping Barb and the pets, and added another<ref>https://sonichu.com/cwcki/CWCki_Forums#Kiwi_Farms_post</ref>:

* His passion for, and [[Chris and reality|psychic connection to, his imaginary friends in CWCville]].

In May 2018, despite being in desperate need of money after losing $6,000 and risking losing his home at 14 Branchland Court, Chris was still unwilling to work and served up another excuse<ref name=harassment>https://tweetsave.com/cwcsonichu/status/1000159257260519424</ref>:

* He fears trolls will harass him at work.

Most of his claimed reasons hold no weight. A "background check", as explained by [[Jackie]] and [[Kim Wilson]] many times, only applies [[Chris and the Law|to legal records]], and Chris's misdemeanors [[Honor roll|would not prevent him]] from getting a job. Fellow lolcows like [[William Elliott Waterman]] and [[Kenneth Erwin Englehardt|Kenneth Englehardt]] also have their names linked to their internet shenanigans, yet they have gained employment. Also, discrimination on the basis of gender is illegal; Charlottesville is a fairly liberal city, so his trans identity should not be an issue. All in all, getting a job [[Hypocrisy|would probably reduce his stress over needing to beg in order to afford more toys]]. His excuses on being fearful of making mistakes and his obsession over his imaginary friends are blocks set down by his own mind – revealing that, [[Chris and psychology|rather than growing up and assuming responsibility for his future, he would rather remain a manchild forever]].

Chris's only valid point is regarding people who are so intent on trying to troll that they'll contact a business just to harass management about him with made-up stories - as happened when he patronized [[The End Games]] and [[Anytime Fitness]].

Financhu Crisis

2019-05-06T23:39:14Z

[[File:Please, Donate (720p).mp400001.png ‎|thumb|400px|Chris's online activity for much of 2016]]

The '''Financhu Crisis''' is a term coined by users from [[CWCki Forums|Kiwi Farms]] to describe the steep decline in the Chandler family's [[Chris and money|financial management]] beginning in early [[2016]]. Signs of the Chandlers' worsening finances were made apparent by the increasing amounts of begging videos and donation requests on [https://sonichu.com/cwcki/YouTube YouTube] and [https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Facebook Facebook].

In June 2017, Chris began to take his [[Patreon]] account more seriously and recommenced drawing Sonichu comic pages. He has gotten several hundred dollars per month for his efforts, and continues to get as much to this day. As a result, begging had temporarily subsided. In mid-2018, however, begging resumed, for the stated purposes of avoiding foreclosure on [[14 Branchland Court]] and buying enough food for his family. Meanwhile Chris has been [[Chris and the law|sued]] for debts by several collecting agencies.

As of [[2019]], Chris has turned a blind eye to the Financhu Crisis because of the [[Dimensional Merge]]. Believing that he has vast wealth stored away in [[CWCville]] that should soon become available to him, he has again stopped begging. Given that [[Barbara Chandler|Barb]] is elderly on a [[tugboat|fixed income]], and [[Chris]] is [[Chris and stress|''lazy'']] on a fixed income, one could only bleakly speculate what will happen when Chris is eventually left to fend for himself once Barb passes away.

==Background==
[[File:Financhu Wordle.png ‎|thumb|400px|A wordcloud of the videos and Facebook posts Chris made during the Financhu Crisis. Note how big "money" and "donations" are...]]

To this day, the Chandlers' financial woes are caused by their own irresponsible behaviors. Chris, [[Chris and money|learning absolutely nothing over the years]], has squandered any available money on [[Lego|children's toys]], [[PS4|video games]], [[McDonald's|fast food]] and [[sex toys]]. Barb, on the other hand, has simply been ignoring long-term debts and letting them pile up to alarming amounts, armed only with vain hopes that her manbaby would raise money for her bills.

'''Chris''' has made some efforts to generate income for the household over the past few years (bar that of [[Chris and stress|actually finding a job]]), which included opening an [[Etsy|Etsy shop]] in [[2015]]. However, any profits gained would immediately go straight to toy purchases, an irresponsible move that would to turn out to be a recurring problem that keeps the Chandlers in the red. The shop would eventually shut down from Chris lazily not fulfilling Etsy orders, but he would still find some revenue by the occasional [[eBay]] sales of select merch from the [[14 Branchland Court|hoard]]. To further compound the issue, Chris has been instilled with a very real belief that [[fans]] are willing to drop large sums of money into his bank account [[Chris and his ego|for nothing]], an expectation that has since been strengthened by the $1,000 donation by [[DStecks]] in [[September 2015]]. This belief would take on the form of the many begging videos that highlight the saga to this day.

'''Barb''' seems to have outstanding debts that dwarf Chris's financial handiwork. On [[September 2016]], she faced lawsuits from Discover and Capital One for failing to pay the large amounts of her credit card debt, according to Virginia District Court records. It is worth noting that it takes a lot of ignored [[Trolls|debt collector]] calls over a long period of time to get a simple credit card debt escalated to a lawsuit, suggesting that Barb may have been outright ignoring making any payments to her credit cards. Only time will tell if more creditor companies begin to sue Barb for her neglect. In [[August 2016]], Chris revealed that the household is still under a [[14 Branchland Court#Mortgage|mortgage of $115,000]], introducing a far more worrying debt looming over the horizon.

Both Chris and Barb continue to barely stay afloat with their lives thanks to their own [[tugboat]]s, but their inactive lifestyle and reckless spending will not last forever at this rate.

Despite it all, '''Chris has not once attempted to find a job'''. In April 2017, with the household finances near the breaking point, one of Chris's IRL friends informed him of [https://www.vadars.org/ DARS], a service designed to help people with disabilities enter the workforce. [[Chris and his Ego|Chris reacted ''with a temper tantrum, posting a multi-paragraph rant on not wanting to work'']].

==Outstanding debts==
This table summarizes various unpaid debts charged to credit cards and other owed amounts between Chris and Barb. Keep in mind that these are only amounts found by [[CWCki|Christorians]] via Chris' online posts and Virginia District Court public records.

On 30 November 2016, Chris started a [[Patreon]] with a goal of '''$250,000'''; he estimates $200,000 to pay off the mortgage and other debts, plus an extra $50,000 for himself, [[Chris and negotiation|just ''because'']].

==Chris's frivolous spending during the crisis==
[[File:Had-to-pay-3fyhaf (credit to Gunslinger).png|thumb|300px|A recurring theme throughout the Crisis.]]

Like any terminally irresponsible adult, Chris likes to keep his [[bedroom]] filled with toys, while [[Chris and money|keeping his wallet empty]]. Below is a list of the known expenses Chris has made during the Financhu Crisis, collected from online postings and eBay purchase history. Some amounts are estimated, but all amounts are debilitating.

During [[2016]], Chris was known to waste over $2,500 on toys.

In late 2017, Chris spent a considerable amount of money to attend [[Bronycon]]. 3-day pass tickets were around $60, but money spent on travel, food, souvenirs, and lodging is rounded to $2,000-3,000 by other attendees.

Below is a list of ''known'' frivolous purchases made during the Crisis. There are doubtless many more that are not known about, including cash purchases.

==Why Chris refuses to work==
Despite actively begging for money since 2016, Chris has not attempted to get a job (then again, the [[Cutco|last job he's had]] dates all the way back to [[2003]]). One of his IRL friends, a woman from his Pokémon club named Alexa P., became concerned after seeing Chris repeatedly beg on Facebook. She suggested, in November 2016,<ref>[[November 2016 Facebook posts#Barb pawns jewelry, Chris decides to join Patreon]]</ref> and again in April 2017,<ref name=getajob/> that he contact one of her family members who works at Virginia DARS, a government service that helps disabled individuals find work. At the first suggestion, Chris didn't follow through, and at the second, he fired off a rant about why he was unwilling to get a job, and Alexa then gave up trying to help him.

In his rant, Chris gave the following flimsy excuses:

* He was busy with helping Barb and the pets (though he had no qualms towards going on [[BronyCon|a three-day trip to another state]] without bringing them along in August 2017).
* [[Chris and his Ego|Trolls ruined his "background check"/reputation]]. While it is true that a Google search on Chris reveals unsavory details, they are only records of facts, and there are agencies that find work for [[slow-in-the-mind]] adults that would not care about minor crimes or indiscretions.
* Finding a job runs the risk of being discriminated against for his [[tomgirl]] gender.
* [[Chris and stress|Stress]].
* He fears being incompetent.

Months later, in October 2017, Chris reiterated his excuse of helping Barb and the pets, and added another<ref>https://sonichu.com/cwcki/CWCki_Forums#Kiwi_Farms_post</ref>:

* His passion for, and [[Chris and reality|psychic connection to, his imaginary friends in CWCville]].

In May 2018, despite being in desperate need of money after losing $6,000 and risking losing his home at 14 Branchland Court, Chris was still unwilling to work and served up another excuse<ref name=harassment>https://tweetsave.com/cwcsonichu/status/1000159257260519424</ref>:

* He fears trolls will harass him at work.

Most of his claimed reasons hold no weight. A "background check", as explained by [[Jackie]] and [[Kim Wilson]] many times, only applies [[Chris and the Law|to legal records]], and Chris's misdemeanors [[Honor roll|would not prevent him]] from getting a job. Fellow lolcows like [[William Elliott Waterman]] and [[Kenneth Erwin Englehardt|Kenneth Englehardt]] also have their names linked to their internet shenanigans, yet they have gained employment. Also, discrimination on the basis of gender is illegal; Charlottesville is a fairly liberal city, so his trans identity should not be an issue. All in all, getting a job [[Hypocrisy|would probably reduce his stress over needing to beg in order to afford more toys]]. His excuses on being fearful of making mistakes and his obsession over his imaginary friends are blocks set down by his own mind – revealing that, [[Chris and psychology|rather than growing up and assuming responsibility for his future, he would rather remain a manchild forever]].

Chris's only valid point is regarding people who are so intent on trying to troll that they'll contact a business just to harass management about him with made-up stories - as happened when he patronized [[The End Games]] and [[Anytime Fitness]].

*19th - A fan suggests that Chris use BronyCon as an opportunity to make some money by selling at the Artist Alley, but Chris rejects the idea, saying he wants to "experience the whole BronyCon, and I cannot do that from Sitting in ONE spot in the marketplace."<ref>https://tweetsave.com/cwcsonichu/status/997794676395700224</ref> He requests a rain check on @LifeofBria's comic book prices until next month<ref>https://tweetsave.com/cwcsonichu/status/997913608934887425</ref>.

No Raw Meat, no Fruits or Veggies! Only CANNED food and an Old Bag of Powdered Milk! I need to go to Food Lion TOMORROW to buy Fresh Food!" He lowers the price on his iPhone by $25 to encourages sales.<ref>https://tweetsave.com/cwcsonichu/status/998272671774269441 https://tweetsave.com/cwcsonichu/status/998404673739485185</ref> He also specifies the amount he had lost during the previous six months: '''$6,000'''<ref>https://tweetsave.com/cwcsonichu/status/998273890555080704</ref>

Financhu Crisis

2019-04-10T00:18:10Z

Frenlyfrens: /* April '19 */

{{Articleofthenow}}

Gawd!!!|Chris, April 2017,<ref name=getajob>[[April 2017 Facebook posts#Chris explains why he won't get a job]]</ref> after his friends on Facebook refused to entertain his nonsense excuses for not having a job.}}

[[File:Please, Donate (720p).mp400001.png ‎|thumb|400px|Chris's online activity for much of 2016]]

The '''Financhu Crisis''' is a term coined by users from [[CWCki Forums|Kiwi Farms]] to describe the steep decline in the Chandler family's financial management beginning in early [[2016]].

Signs of the Chandlers' worsening finances were made apparent by the increasing amounts of begging videos and donation requests on [https://sonichu.com/cwcki/YouTube YouTube] and [https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Facebook Facebook].

Given that [[Barbara Chandler|Barb]] is elderly on a [[tugboat|fixed income]], and [[Chris]] is [[Chris and stress|''lazy'']] on a fixed income, one could only bleakly speculate what will happen when Chris is eventually left to fend for himself once Barb passes away.

In June 2017, Chris began to take his [[Patreon]] account more seriously and recommenced drawing Sonichu comic pages. He has gotten several hundred dollars per month for his efforts. As a result, the begging has subsided.

==Background==
[[File:Financhu Wordle.png ‎|thumb|400px|A wordcloud of the videos and Facebook posts Chris made during the Financhu Crisis. Note how big "money" and "donations" are...]]

To this day, the Chandlers' financial woes are caused by their own irresponsible behaviors. Chris, [[Chris and money|learning absolutely nothing over the years]], has squandered any available money on [[Lego|children's toys]], [[PS4|video games]], [[McDonald's|fast food]] and [[sex toys]]. Barb, on the other hand, has simply been ignoring long-term debts and letting them pile up to alarming amounts, armed only with vain hopes that her manbaby would raise money for her bills.

'''Chris''' has made some efforts to generate income for the household over the past few years (bar that of [[Chris and stress|actually finding a job]]), which included opening an [[Etsy|Etsy shop]] in [[2015]]. However, any profits gained would immediately go straight to toy purchases, an irresponsible move that would to turn out to be a recurring problem that keeps the Chandlers in the red. The shop would eventually shut down from Chris lazily not fulfilling Etsy orders, but he would still find some revenue by the occasional [[eBay]] sales of select merch from the [[14 Branchland Court|hoard]]. To further compound the issue, Chris has been instilled with a very real belief that [[fans]] are willing to drop large sums of money into his bank account [[Chris and his ego|for nothing]], an expectation that has since been strengthened by the $1,000 donation by [[DStecks]] in [[September 2015]]. This belief would take on the form of the many begging videos that highlight the saga to this day.

'''Barb''' seems to have outstanding debts that dwarf Chris's financial handiwork. On [[September 2016]], she faced lawsuits from Discover and Capital One for failing to pay the large amounts of her credit card debt, according to Virginia District Court records. It is worth noting that it takes a lot of ignored [[Trolls|debt collector]] calls over a long period of time to get a simple credit card debt escalated to a lawsuit, suggesting that Barb may have been outright ignoring making any payments to her credit cards. Only time will tell if more creditor companies begin to sue Barb for her neglect. In [[August 2016]], Chris revealed that the household is still under a [[14 Branchland Court#Mortgage|mortgage of $115,000]], introducing a far more worrying debt looming over the horizon.

Both Chris and Barb continue to barely stay afloat with their lives thanks to their own [[tugboat]]s, but their inactive lifestyle and reckless spending will not last forever at this rate.

Despite it all, '''Chris has not once attempted to find a job'''. In April 2017, with the household finances near the breaking point, one of Chris's IRL friends informed him of [https://www.vadars.org/ DARS], a service designed to help people with disabilities enter the workforce. [[Chris and his Ego|Chris reacted ''with a temper tantrum, posting a multi-paragraph rant on not wanting to work'']].

==Outstanding debts==
This table summarizes various unpaid debts charged to credit cards and other owed amounts between Chris and Barb. Keep in mind that these are only amounts found by [[CWCki|Christorians]] via Chris' online posts and Virginia District Court public records.

On 30 November 2016, Chris started a [[Patreon]] with a goal of '''$250,000'''; he estimates $200,000 to pay off the mortgage and other debts, plus an extra $50,000 for himself, [[Chris and negotiation|just ''because'']].

==Chris's frivolous spending during the crisis==
[[File:Had-to-pay-3fyhaf (credit to Gunslinger).png|thumb|300px|A recurring theme throughout the Crisis.]]

Like any terminally irresponsible adult, Chris likes to keep his [[bedroom]] filled with toys, while [[Chris and money|keeping his wallet empty]]. Below is a list of the known expenses Chris has made during the Financhu Crisis, collected from online postings and eBay purchase history. Some amounts are estimated, but all amounts are debilitating.

During [[2016]], Chris was known to waste over $2,500 on toys.

In late 2017, Chris spent a considerable amount of money to attend [[Bronycon]]. 3-day pass tickets were around $60, but money spent on travel, food, souvenirs, and lodging is rounded to $2,000-3,000 by other attendees.

==Why Chris refuses to work==
Despite actively begging for money since 2016, Chris has not attempted to get a job (then again, the [[Cutco|last job he's had]] dates all the way back to [[2003]]). One of his IRL friends, a woman from his Pokémon club named Alexa P., became concerned after seeing Chris repeatedly beg on Facebook. She suggested, in November 2016,<ref>[[November 2016 Facebook posts#Barb pawns jewelry, Chris decides to join Patreon]]</ref> and again in April 2017,<ref name=getajob/> that he contact one of her family members who works at Virginia DARS, a government service that helps disabled individuals find work. At the first suggestion, Chris didn't follow through, and at the second, he fired off a rant about why he was unwilling to get a job, and Alexa then gave up trying to help him.

In his rant, Chris gave the following flimsy excuses:

* He was busy with helping Barb and the pets (though he had no qualms towards going on [[BronyCon|a three-day trip to another state]] without bringing them along in August 2017).
* [[Chris and his Ego|Trolls ruined his "background check"/reputation]].
* Finding a job runs the risk of being discriminated against for his [[tomgirl]] gender.
* [[Chris and stress|Stress]].
* He fears being incompetent.

Months later, in October 2017, Chris reiterated his excuse of helping Barb and the pets, and added another<ref>https://sonichu.com/cwcki/CWCki_Forums#Kiwi_Farms_post</ref>:

* His passion for, and [[Chris and reality|psychic connection to, his imaginary friends in CWCville]].

In May 2018, despite being in desperate need of money after losing $6,000 and risking losing his home at 14 Branchland Court, Chris was still unwilling to work and served up another excuse<ref name=harassment>https://tweetsave.com/cwcsonichu/status/1000159257260519424</ref>:

* He fears trolls will harass him at work.

Most of his claimed reasons hold no weight. A "background check", as explained by [[Jackie]] and [[Kim Wilson]] many times, only applies [[Chris and the Law|to legal records]], and Chris's misdemeanors [[Honor roll|would not prevent him]] from getting a job. Fellow lolcows like [[William Elliott Waterman]] and [[Kenneth Erwin Englehardt|Kenneth Englehardt]] also have their names linked to their internet shenanigans, yet they have gained employment. Also, discrimination on the basis of gender is illegal; Charlottesville is a fairly liberal city, so his trans identity should not be an issue. All in all, getting a job [[Hypocrisy|would probably reduce his stress over needing to beg in order to afford more toys]]. His excuses on being fearful of making mistakes and his obsession over his imaginary friends are blocks set down by his own mind – revealing that, [[Chris and psychology|rather than growing up and assuming responsibility for his future, he would rather remain a manchild forever]].

Chris's only valid point is regarding people who are so intent on trying to troll that they'll contact a business just to harass management about him with made-up stories - as happened when he patronized [[The End Games]] and [[Anytime Fitness]].

Financhu Crisis

2019-04-10T00:17:05Z

Frenlyfrens: /* April '19 */

Gawd!!!|Chris, April 2017,<ref name=getajob>[[April 2017 Facebook posts#Chris explains why he won't get a job]]</ref> after his friends on Facebook refused to entertain his nonsense excuses for not having a job.}}

[[File:Please, Donate (720p).mp400001.png ‎|thumb|400px|Chris's online activity for much of 2016]]

The '''Financhu Crisis''' is a term coined by users from [[CWCki Forums|Kiwi Farms]] to describe the steep decline in the Chandler family's financial management beginning in early [[2016]].

Signs of the Chandlers' worsening finances were made apparent by the increasing amounts of begging videos and donation requests on [https://sonichu.com/cwcki/YouTube YouTube] and [https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Facebook Facebook].

Given that [[Barbara Chandler|Barb]] is elderly on a [[tugboat|fixed income]], and [[Chris]] is [[Chris and stress|''lazy'']] on a fixed income, one could only bleakly speculate what will happen when Chris is eventually left to fend for himself once Barb passes away.

In June 2017, Chris began to take his [[Patreon]] account more seriously and recommenced drawing Sonichu comic pages. He has gotten several hundred dollars per month for his efforts. As a result, the begging has subsided.

==Background==
[[File:Financhu Wordle.png ‎|thumb|400px|A wordcloud of the videos and Facebook posts Chris made during the Financhu Crisis. Note how big "money" and "donations" are...]]

To this day, the Chandlers' financial woes are caused by their own irresponsible behaviors. Chris, [[Chris and money|learning absolutely nothing over the years]], has squandered any available money on [[Lego|children's toys]], [[PS4|video games]], [[McDonald's|fast food]] and [[sex toys]]. Barb, on the other hand, has simply been ignoring long-term debts and letting them pile up to alarming amounts, armed only with vain hopes that her manbaby would raise money for her bills.

'''Chris''' has made some efforts to generate income for the household over the past few years (bar that of [[Chris and stress|actually finding a job]]), which included opening an [[Etsy|Etsy shop]] in [[2015]]. However, any profits gained would immediately go straight to toy purchases, an irresponsible move that would to turn out to be a recurring problem that keeps the Chandlers in the red. The shop would eventually shut down from Chris lazily not fulfilling Etsy orders, but he would still find some revenue by the occasional [[eBay]] sales of select merch from the [[14 Branchland Court|hoard]]. To further compound the issue, Chris has been instilled with a very real belief that [[fans]] are willing to drop large sums of money into his bank account [[Chris and his ego|for nothing]], an expectation that has since been strengthened by the $1,000 donation by [[DStecks]] in [[September 2015]]. This belief would take on the form of the many begging videos that highlight the saga to this day.

'''Barb''' seems to have outstanding debts that dwarf Chris's financial handiwork. On [[September 2016]], she faced lawsuits from Discover and Capital One for failing to pay the large amounts of her credit card debt, according to Virginia District Court records. It is worth noting that it takes a lot of ignored [[Trolls|debt collector]] calls over a long period of time to get a simple credit card debt escalated to a lawsuit, suggesting that Barb may have been outright ignoring making any payments to her credit cards. Only time will tell if more creditor companies begin to sue Barb for her neglect. In [[August 2016]], Chris revealed that the household is still under a [[14 Branchland Court#Mortgage|mortgage of $115,000]], introducing a far more worrying debt looming over the horizon.

Both Chris and Barb continue to barely stay afloat with their lives thanks to their own [[tugboat]]s, but their inactive lifestyle and reckless spending will not last forever at this rate.

Despite it all, '''Chris has not once attempted to find a job'''. In April 2017, with the household finances near the breaking point, one of Chris's IRL friends informed him of [https://www.vadars.org/ DARS], a service designed to help people with disabilities enter the workforce. [[Chris and his Ego|Chris reacted ''with a temper tantrum, posting a multi-paragraph rant on not wanting to work'']].

==Outstanding debts==
This table summarizes various unpaid debts charged to credit cards and other owed amounts between Chris and Barb. Keep in mind that these are only amounts found by [[CWCki|Christorians]] via Chris' online posts and Virginia District Court public records.

On 30 November 2016, Chris started a [[Patreon]] with a goal of '''$250,000'''; he estimates $200,000 to pay off the mortgage and other debts, plus an extra $50,000 for himself, [[Chris and negotiation|just ''because'']].

==Chris's frivolous spending during the crisis==
[[File:Had-to-pay-3fyhaf (credit to Gunslinger).png|thumb|300px|A recurring theme throughout the Crisis.]]

Like any terminally irresponsible adult, Chris likes to keep his [[bedroom]] filled with toys, while [[Chris and money|keeping his wallet empty]]. Below is a list of the known expenses Chris has made during the Financhu Crisis, collected from online postings and eBay purchase history. Some amounts are estimated, but all amounts are debilitating.

During [[2016]], Chris was known to waste over $2,500 on toys.

In late 2017, Chris spent a considerable amount of money to attend [[Bronycon]]. 3-day pass tickets were around $60, but money spent on travel, food, souvenirs, and lodging is rounded to $2,000-3,000 by other attendees.

==Why Chris refuses to work==
Despite actively begging for money since 2016, Chris has not attempted to get a job (then again, the [[Cutco|last job he's had]] dates all the way back to [[2003]]). One of his IRL friends, a woman from his Pokémon club named Alexa P., became concerned after seeing Chris repeatedly beg on Facebook. She suggested, in November 2016,<ref>[[November 2016 Facebook posts#Barb pawns jewelry, Chris decides to join Patreon]]</ref> and again in April 2017,<ref name=getajob/> that he contact one of her family members who works at Virginia DARS, a government service that helps disabled individuals find work. At the first suggestion, Chris didn't follow through, and at the second, he fired off a rant about why he was unwilling to get a job, and Alexa then gave up trying to help him.

In his rant, Chris gave the following flimsy excuses:

* He was busy with helping Barb and the pets (though he had no qualms towards going on [[BronyCon|a three-day trip to another state]] without bringing them along in August 2017).
* [[Chris and his Ego|Trolls ruined his "background check"/reputation]].
* Finding a job runs the risk of being discriminated against for his [[tomgirl]] gender.
* [[Chris and stress|Stress]].
* He fears being incompetent.

Months later, in October 2017, Chris reiterated his excuse of helping Barb and the pets, and added another<ref>https://sonichu.com/cwcki/CWCki_Forums#Kiwi_Farms_post</ref>:

* His passion for, and [[Chris and reality|psychic connection to, his imaginary friends in CWCville]].

In May 2018, despite being in desperate need of money after losing $6,000 and risking losing his home at 14 Branchland Court, Chris was still unwilling to work and served up another excuse<ref name=harassment>https://tweetsave.com/cwcsonichu/status/1000159257260519424</ref>:

* He fears trolls will harass him at work.

Most of his claimed reasons hold no weight. A "background check", as explained by [[Jackie]] and [[Kim Wilson]] many times, only applies [[Chris and the Law|to legal records]], and Chris's misdemeanors [[Honor roll|would not prevent him]] from getting a job. Fellow lolcows like [[William Elliott Waterman]] and [[Kenneth Erwin Englehardt|Kenneth Englehardt]] also have their names linked to their internet shenanigans, yet they have gained employment. Also, discrimination on the basis of gender is illegal; Charlottesville is a fairly liberal city, so his trans identity should not be an issue. All in all, getting a job [[Hypocrisy|would probably reduce his stress over needing to beg in order to afford more toys]]. His excuses on being fearful of making mistakes and his obsession over his imaginary friends are blocks set down by his own mind – revealing that, [[Chris and psychology|rather than growing up and assuming responsibility for his future, he would rather remain a manchild forever]].

Chris's only valid point is regarding people who are so intent on trying to troll that they'll contact a business just to harass management about him with made-up stories - as happened when he patronized [[The End Games]] and [[Anytime Fitness]].

Financhu Crisis

[[File:Please, Donate (720p).mp400001.png ‎|thumb|400px|Chris's online activity for much of 2016]]

The '''Financhu Crisis''' is a term coined by users from [[CWCki Forums|Kiwi Farms]] to describe the steep decline in the Chandler family's financial management beginning in early [[2016]].

Signs of the Chandlers' worsening finances were made apparent by the increasing amounts of begging videos and donation requests on [https://sonichu.com/cwcki/YouTube YouTube] and [https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Facebook Facebook].

Given that [[Barbara Chandler|Barb]] is elderly on a [[tugboat|fixed income]], and [[Chris]] is [[Chris and stress|''lazy'']] on a fixed income, one could only bleakly speculate what will happen when Chris is eventually left to fend for himself once Barb passes away.

In June 2017, Chris began to take his [[Patreon]] account more seriously and recommenced drawing Sonichu comic pages. He has gotten several hundred dollars per month for his efforts. As a result, the begging has subsided.

==Background==
[[File:Financhu Wordle.png ‎|thumb|400px|A wordcloud of the videos and Facebook posts Chris made during the Financhu Crisis. Note how big "money" and "donations" are...]]

To this day, the Chandlers' financial woes are caused by their own irresponsible behaviors. Chris, [[Chris and money|learning absolutely nothing over the years]], has squandered any available money on [[Lego|children's toys]], [[PS4|video games]], [[McDonald's|fast food]] and [[sex toys]]. Barb, on the other hand, has simply been ignoring long-term debts and letting them pile up to alarming amounts, armed only with vain hopes that her manbaby would raise money for her bills.

'''Chris''' has made some efforts to generate income for the household over the past few years (bar that of [[Chris and stress|actually finding a job]]), which included opening an [[Etsy|Etsy shop]] in [[2015]]. However, any profits gained would immediately go straight to toy purchases, an irresponsible move that would to turn out to be a recurring problem that keeps the Chandlers in the red. The shop would eventually shut down from Chris lazily not fulfilling Etsy orders, but he would still find some revenue by the occasional [[eBay]] sales of select merch from the [[14 Branchland Court|hoard]]. To further compound the issue, Chris has been instilled with a very real belief that [[fans]] are willing to drop large sums of money into his bank account [[Chris and his ego|for nothing]], an expectation that has since been strengthened by the $1,000 donation by [[DStecks]] in [[September 2015]]. This belief would take on the form of the many begging videos that highlight the saga to this day.

'''Barb''' seems to have outstanding debts that dwarf Chris's financial handiwork. On [[September 2016]], she faced lawsuits from Discover and Capital One for failing to pay the large amounts of her credit card debt, according to Virginia District Court records. It is worth noting that it takes a lot of ignored [[Trolls|debt collector]] calls over a long period of time to get a simple credit card debt escalated to a lawsuit, suggesting that Barb may have been outright ignoring making any payments to her credit cards. Only time will tell if more creditor companies begin to sue Barb for her neglect. In [[August 2016]], Chris revealed that the household is still under a [[14 Branchland Court#Mortgage|mortgage of $115,000]], introducing a far more worrying debt looming over the horizon.

Both Chris and Barb continue to barely stay afloat with their lives thanks to their own [[tugboat]]s, but their inactive lifestyle and reckless spending will not last forever at this rate.

Despite it all, '''Chris has not once attempted to find a job'''. In April 2017, with the household finances near the breaking point, one of Chris's IRL friends informed him of [https://www.vadars.org/ DARS], a service designed to help people with disabilities enter the workforce. [[Chris and his Ego|Chris reacted ''with a temper tantrum, posting a multi-paragraph rant on not wanting to work'']].

==Outstanding debts==
This table summarizes various unpaid debts charged to credit cards and other owed amounts between Chris and Barb. Keep in mind that these are only amounts found by [[CWCki|Christorians]] via Chris' online posts and Virginia District Court public records.

On 30 November 2016, Chris started a [[Patreon]] with a goal of '''$250,000'''; he estimates $200,000 to pay off the mortgage and other debts, plus an extra $50,000 for himself, [[Chris and negotiation|just ''because'']].

==Chris's frivolous spending during the crisis==
[[File:Had-to-pay-3fyhaf (credit to Gunslinger).png|thumb|300px|A recurring theme throughout the Crisis.]]

Like any terminally irresponsible adult, Chris likes to keep his [[bedroom]] filled with toys, while [[Chris and money|keeping his wallet empty]]. Below is a list of the known expenses Chris has made during the Financhu Crisis, collected from online postings and eBay purchase history. Some amounts are estimated, but all amounts are debilitating.

During [[2016]], Chris was known to waste over $2,500 on toys.

In late 2017, Chris spent a considerable amount of money to attend [[Bronycon]]. 3-day pass tickets were around $60, but money spent on travel, food, souvenirs, and lodging is rounded to $2,000-3,000 by other attendees.

==Why Chris refuses to work==
Despite actively begging for money since 2016, Chris has not attempted to get a job (then again, the [[Cutco|last job he's had]] dates all the way back to [[2003]]). One of his IRL friends, a woman from his Pokémon club named Alexa P., became concerned after seeing Chris repeatedly beg on Facebook. She suggested, in November 2016,<ref>[[November 2016 Facebook posts#Barb pawns jewelry, Chris decides to join Patreon]]</ref> and again in April 2017,<ref name=getajob/> that he contact one of her family members who works at Virginia DARS, a government service that helps disabled individuals find work. At the first suggestion, Chris didn't follow through, and at the second, he fired off a rant about why he was unwilling to get a job, and Alexa then gave up trying to help him.

In his rant, Chris gave the following flimsy excuses:

* He was busy with helping Barb and the pets (though he had no qualms towards going on [[BronyCon|a three-day trip to another state]] without bringing them along in August 2017).
* [[Chris and his Ego|Trolls ruined his "background check"/reputation]].
* Finding a job runs the risk of being discriminated against for his [[tomgirl]] gender.
* [[Chris and stress|Stress]].
* He fears being incompetent.

Months later, in October 2017, Chris reiterated his excuse of helping Barb and the pets, and added another<ref>https://sonichu.com/cwcki/CWCki_Forums#Kiwi_Farms_post</ref>:

* His passion for, and [[Chris and reality|psychic connection to, his imaginary friends in CWCville]].

In May 2018, despite being in desperate need of money after losing $6,000 and risking losing his home at 14 Branchland Court, Chris was still unwilling to work and served up another excuse<ref name=harassment>https://tweetsave.com/cwcsonichu/status/1000159257260519424</ref>:

* He fears trolls will harass him at work.

Most of his claimed reasons hold no weight. A "background check", as explained by [[Jackie]] and [[Kim Wilson]] many times, only applies [[Chris and the Law|to legal records]], and Chris's misdemeanors [[Honor roll|would not prevent him]] from getting a job. Fellow lolcows like [[William Elliott Waterman]] and [[Kenneth Erwin Englehardt|Kenneth Englehardt]] also have their names linked to their internet shenanigans, yet they have gained employment. Also, discrimination on the basis of gender is illegal; Charlottesville is a fairly liberal city, so his trans identity should not be an issue. All in all, getting a job [[Hypocrisy|would probably reduce his stress over needing to beg in order to afford more toys]]. His excuses on being fearful of making mistakes and his obsession over his imaginary friends are blocks set down by his own mind – revealing that, [[Chris and psychology|rather than growing up and assuming responsibility for his future, he would rather remain a manchild forever]].

Chris's only valid point is regarding people who are so intent on trying to troll that they'll contact a business just to harass management about him with made-up stories - as happened when he patronized [[The End Games]] and [[Anytime Fitness]].

Then, he digs through 10 to 20 bags of wet, moldy clothes, left over from the [[Destruction Of Chris's House]] three years before, and finds The Classic shirt.

*14th - [[Live Drawing Stream#05142017|Another livestream of Chris drawing]] Sonichu comic pages is recorded, clocking in at 1 hour and 38 minutes of footage. Chris begs for $10 donations or pledges to [[Patreon]] in the video description.

In the second video, Barb appears and joins in the begging, requesting money for meal replacement shakes.
*25th - Chris [[May 2017 Facebook posts#More begging|links to the first of the previous day's videos on Facebook]] and begs again. He also deletes the second video.
