[[File:Chrisfamilytree.png|thumb|Chris' family tree up to his great-great-grandparents|600x600px]]
Chris's ideas about his ancestry and lineage unsurprisingly differ greatly from what is known to be true.

Family members who live(d) after Chris was born can be found at [[Minor Family Members]].

==What Chris Actually Believes==

== Notable ancestors ==
This section lists Chris' ancestors in chronological order from most to least recent death. Ancestors who fought for the Confederate States of America are listed separately, in the "Dixiechus" section.

=== Robert Wynn ===
Barbara's maternal grandfather '''Robert Pettus Wynn''' (17 Nov 1882 - 20 Jan 1954) was allegedly a two-timing [[Alcohol|drunk]] and moonshiner who "failed to provide even the most basic support for his wife and children".<ref>http://www.harveypowers.com/genealogy/roots/individual.html#118</ref> In his death certificate, his profession is given as [[tobacco]] farmer.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/238604751/robert-pettis-wynn</ref>

=== John James Hollomon ===
[[File:John James Hollomon.jpg|thumb|right|150px|John James Hollomon in 1910]]
Bob's maternal grandfather '''John James Hollomon''' (3 May 1868 - 16 Mar 1950) <ref>[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/10638068/john-james-hollomon]</ref> was born in {{w|Meigs County, Tennessee}} but lived most of his later life in {{w|Wylie, Texas}}, a city and suburb in {{w|Collin County, Texas|Collin County}} and {{w|Dallas}} respectively. He was a well-known local pharmacist in the Collin county for over 50 years. He married twice in his life, first to Mary Francis Hollomon (née Teer 10th March 1872 - 3 Jul 1914), the daughter of a doctor specializing in osteopathic, whom he had 4 children including Jean Hollomon, Bob's mother. In 1915 he married Helen E. Hollomon (née Nelms 10 Apr 1893 - 29 Oct 1972) with whom he had 3 more children including Bob's half uncle Dr. John James "JJ" Hollomon Jr (1917-1992). Bob reminisces that Hollomon gave him a straight razor "by means of [Hollomon's] last will and testament," and Bob instead broke it while using it as a screwdriver, which he later held onto this regret for decades well into his 60s because he believed Hollomon wanted him to have it as a personal item and value.

Notable enough, his father was an Esquire John Richmond Hollomon (1831 - 1899), a lawyer and attorney in the Meigs County area.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/70362078/susanna-brady#:~:text=of%20her%20son%2C-,J.R.%20Hollomon%20Esq.,-of%20this%20county</ref> More notable enough, his grandfather Pleasant Hollomon (1803 - 1865), served in the {{w|Tennessee House of Representatives}} in the Meigs and {{w|Rhea County, Tennessee|Rhea}} counties from 1849 to 1851. A democrat, he was a constable of the 5th Civil district of Meigs county in 1836-1839, was a deputy sheriff of Meigs in early 1840s and a deputy and tax collector in 1845.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/70361465/pleasant-hollomon</ref>

===Rev. Sidney Smith Chandler===
'''The Reverend Sidney Smith Chandler''' (1805 - September 1866) was a Baptist minister and clergyman in Alabama. He is Chris's great-great-great grandfather along his paternal line. Born in Georgia, his father died in 1816 when he was 11. He moved to Alabama in 1829 and became a Primitive Baptist Clergyman and Minster in Autauga County. He also was a slaveowner, owning one female slave in the 1850 slave census.

He later married Mary Lucinda Walker and later fathered 12 children, including Joseph and his brother Edmund. He died in September of 1866 just shortly after the end of the American Civil War. Two of his sons, James (1830-1862) and Edmund (1835-1865) would die fighting in the Civil War.

===Francis Weston===
'''Francis Weston Sr.''' (Feb 1793 - 19 March 1838) was an English-born immigrant to the United States and a frontiersmen. He is Barbara's great-great-grandfather along her paternal line, making him Chris's maternal great-great-great-grandfather.

Born in {{w|Derbyshire}}, he had immigrated to [[Ohio]] by 1820 and married at {{w|Wheeling, West Virginia}} a year later to Grace Moore, an English-born American, whose parents were also an immigrants from Derbyshire. They had six out of seven children survived, the second oldest being Mary Ann Weston in 1825 and the youngest Joseph Edward "John" Weston in July 1836,<ref>[https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-6Q23-PTF?i=2&cc=1401638&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AMXSB-9Q8 Joseph (listed as Edward Weston) with his three older siblings and mother Gracy in 1850 census)]</ref><ref>[https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-9BS6-DF?i=8&cc=1473181&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AMCPH-V55 Gracy Weston (Joseph's mother) in 1860 census with her son Francis]</ref> all in {{w|Augusta Township, Carroll County, Ohio|Augusta Township}}. Through Joseph, Francis's surname would be carried on to [[Barbara]], which, in turn, would serve as the basis for [[Chris|our hero]]'s middle name.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/118642485/francis-weston</ref>

According to newspapers, After immigrating to Augusta Township, Francis, a frontiersmen, built a homestead house of his and his family in a wilderness place with 2 other families surrounded by wild animals and forest. The homestead house was a shanty with puncheon floor and chimney made with sticks and clay. They mentioned about the one occasion Francis was chased by wolves in a forest when coming home from buying fresh meats. Francis would pass away at age 45 in March 1838, 2 years after his youngest son Joseph was born.

In a later pseudo-historical account of events by Barbara and Chris, Francis is replaced by a certain [[Daniel Weston]]. Unlike the historical Francis Weston, ''Daniel'' Weston travelled to North America in 1620 (a whole 2 centuries earlier than Francis), and has the honor of being of a descendant of [[Anne Boleyn]] (whose {{w|Elizabeth I|only daughter}} died childless).

Francis' son, Francis Weston Jr, according to newspapers, was a "popular" and successful businessman and general merchant, owning iron and furnace company, and many other successful companies at Ohio, West Virginia and Missouri with a college education to his name. Through his daughter Jane, Francis Sr is the grandfather of {{w|Pierce County, Washington}}'s Superior Court judge & attorney William Oscar Chapman, who at the time of admitting to {{w|Ohio State Bar Association|Ohio bar}}, was in the same group of applicants with a later president of the United States {{w|William Howard Taft}}.

=== Captain Joseph Looney ===
Joseph Lewellyn Looney (abt.1740-1816) fought in the {{w|American Revolutionary War}} on the Patriot side. He fought in the {{w|Battle of Guilford Court House}} under major general [[Nathanael Greene Elementary School|Nathanael Greene]].<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Looney-149</ref>

=== Polly Bowman ===
{{main|Ancient leader of the Cherokee Clan}}
Chris has at least one [[Cherokee]] ancestor, about whom he absolutely knows nothing. The ancestor was introduced in ''[[Sonichu 2|Sonichu #2]]'', which was completed on 3 May 2005. The ancestor was long assumed to be nonexistent, but on 16 January 2025 - 19 years and 8 months later - the ancestor was discovered to be real by CWCki editor [[User:Cilria2|Cilria2]]. '''Polly Bowman "Cherokee Mother" Cherokee''' (abt 1703 to 1790) is Chris's 7th great-grandmother.

=== John Chandler and Elizabeth Lupo ===
Although there is no evidence that his mother's ancestors were on board the ''Mayflower'', Chris's paternal ancestors were among the first settlers of his home state of Virginia. Chris's direct male ancestor '''John Chandler''' (c. 1600-1657), a native of London, was an early settler of {{w|Jamestown, Virginia|Jamestown}}, [[Virginia]], arriving in 1610 with a boat ''Hercules'', ten years before the ''Mayflower''.<ref>https://www.geni.com/people/John-Chandler-l/6000000008639070482</ref> John married the widow '''Elizabeth Lupo''' (née '''Bassano'''), a member of the illustrious {{w|Jeronimo Bassano|Bassano family}} of [[music|musicians]] who had been recruited from Venice by {{w|King Henry VIII}} to serve in his court (some have claimed that the Bassanos were of [[Michael Snyder|Jewish]] origin, but the jury is out). The Chandler family migrated southwest over the generations, passing through North Carolina and Georgia before settling in Alabama, Bob's home state.

John Chandler is the fifth great-grandfather of the Dixiechu Joseph Chandler, and the ninth great-grandfather of Chris.

===Richard Baker===
{{w|Richard Baker (chronicler)|Richard Baker}} (c. 1568 – 18 February 1645) was a politician, historian and religious writer. He was the English author of the ''Chronicle of the Kings of England'' and other works.

He is the 12th great-grandfather of Chris on Bob's mother side.

===Edward, Thomas Palmer & Thomas Overbury===
Thanks to John Chandler's grandson's wife Elizabeth Palmer, Chris's 7th great-grandmother, some Christorians did research about her ancestors. Chris has three known ancestors, two of which are Chris descendent of, and other is distantly related.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-2791</ref><ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-533</ref><ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-229</ref>

Chris is a descendant of his 10th great-grandfather '''{{w|Edward Palmer (d.1624)|Edward Palmer}}''' (c. 1555–1624) from {{w|Gloucestershire}}, England, a gentleman with antiquarian interests who was known for his [[Stamps|extensive collections]] such as Roman coins and is best remembered for purchasing the then unnamed {{w|Garrett Island}} in colony of Virginia (now Maryland) for his plan of establishing university at the island.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-544</ref>

Edward had a son whom Chris is also descendant from. '''{{w|Thomas Palmer (burgess)|Thomas Palmer}}''' settled at Jamestown, Virginia on a boat ''Tyger'' with his wife Joan Jordan and 11 years old daughter Priscilla in November 1621. Shortly after their arrival at Jamestown, the Palmers were nearly killed by the [[Cherokian Clan|Powhatans]] during the {{w|Indian massacre of 1622}}, but survived by living in {{w|Jordan Point, Virginia#Jordan's Journey: Beggars Bush|Jordan's Journey}} shelter residence. Thomas was a captain in command of a company of militia from {{w|Eppes Island|Shirley Hundred Island}} and was a member of {{w|House of Burgesses}} at Jamestown on October 16, 1629.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-229</ref>

Perhaps notably, Thomas was a first cousin of [[Chris_and_writing#Chris_as_a_poet_and_lyricist|poet]] and [[Chris_and_writing#Chris_as_an_essayist|essayist]] '''{{w|Thomas Overbury}}''' through his father's sister Mary Palmer and her husband {{w|Nicholas Overbury}}. Overbury was known for his poem, ''A Wife'', and a victim of murder by poisoning which led to a scandalous trial.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Overbury-10</ref>

=== Sir James Croft ===
Sir {{w|James Croft}} (1518- 4 September 1590) was English politician, who was Lord Deputy of Ireland, and MP for Herefordshire in the Parliament of England, He is Chris 12th great-grandfather on his paternal side.

=== Hugh and Isabel Bardolf ===
[[Image:Chris Anne Boleyn.png|thumb|How Chris is related to Anne Boleyn.]]
'''Hugh Bardolf''' (c. 29 September 1259 - c. 20 September 1304) <ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bardolf-9</ref> and '''Isabel Bardolf''' (born '''Isabel Aguillon'''; c. 25 March 1258 - c. 28 May 1323) <ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Aguillon-5</ref>, Chris' 19th great-grandparents, were a medieval English couple who married in 1281. According to a Redditor's Wikitree research in 2022, they are Chris' most recent shared ancestors with [[Anne Boleyn]] (albeit on his father's side, not his mother's): they gave birth to Thomas (Boleyn's 6th great-grandfather) in 1282, Margery around 1283, William in 1284, and Nicola (Chris' 18th great-grandmother) around 1294. This means that, although Chris is not ''descended'' from Anne Boleyn, he is indeed a distant relative. This is hardly surprising, as all humans are relatives of each other of varying distance.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/ChrisChanSonichu/comments/tedhwz/barb_may_not_have_been_related_to_anne_boleyn_but/</ref><ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Aguillon-5</ref>

In addition to being the source of Chris's distant connection with Anne Boleyn, Hugh Bardolf was the first nobleman of {{w|Baron Bardolf}}, a noble title in the {{w|Peerage of England}}. His wife Isabel was a member of the {{w|Aguillon family}} (of French origin), who were feudal landowners in England. Isabel's father, Sir Robert Aguillon (c. 1226 - 15 February 1286)<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Aguillon-4</ref>, was a Sheriff of Surrey & Sussex County and a keeper of two castles in both counties.

Hugh Bardolf's descendants unite with those of John Chandler (b. 1600) in 1700, when Robert Chandler (John's grandson, 1659 - c. 1720) and his wife Elizabeth Palmer (Hugh's 10th great-granddaughter, b. 1664) give birth to Joseph Chandler (11 Aug 1700 - 11 Oct 1764), Chris' 6th great-grandparent, in {{w|New Kent, Virginia}}.

A stark contrast can be observed in the fact that Hugh's first child is the ancestor of prestigious nobility (namely an Anne Boleyn and actual queen of England, Elizabeth I), while Hugh's fourth and last child is the ancestor of our infamous protagonist.

== Dixiechus ==
"'''Dixiechus'''" is a nickname used by Christorians to describe ancestors of Chris who fought for the {{w|Confederate States of America}} during the {{w|American Civil War}}. It is a portmanteau of ''{{w|Dixie}}'' and ''[[Sonichu]]''. The first Dixiechu to be identified was Joseph Chandler, discovered by Kiwifarms user Meat Pickle on 20 December 2021. The term "Dixiechu" was proposed on the [[Official CWCki Server]] on 24 April 2024, by which point four Dixiechus had been identified.

During the [[Jail Saga]], Chris was asked if he may have had ancestors who fought for the Confederacy, at a time when Joseph Chandler (on his father's side) was the only known Dixiechu. In [[Jail Letter - 25 May 2022]], he denied that his father's ancestors had fought for the Confederacy, but conceded that his mother's ancestors may have done so. In 2024, Christorians discovered William Drury Thompson - a Dixiechu on the maternal side of Chris' ancestry - partially vindicating Chris' statement.

As of 2026, Christorians have identified 6 Dixiechus. Half are known to have sustained combat injuries. 2 hailed from Alabama, 2 from North Carolina, 1 from South Carolina, and 1 from Mississippi. Though [[Virginia]] was both the Confederacy's most populous state and stands as Chris' place or origin, it is not known to have spawned any Dixiechus.

A total of 1,082,119 people served the {{w|Confederate States Army}} during the civil war.<ref>https://www.battlefields.org/learn/articles/civil-war-facts</ref> Anecdotal evidence suggests that half of modern-day southerners have ancestors who fought for the Confederacy.<ref>There is no large-scale study of Confederate ancestry to the knowledge of this wiki, but genealogists familiar with this area tend to estimate a ballpark of 40-55%.[https://pastexplore.wordpress.com/2015/05/13/okay-so-you-have-civil-war-ancestors/][https://www.quora.com/What-percentage-of-todays-southern-US-population-actually-have-ancestors-who-fought-for-the-confederacy]</ref> In this light, Chris' Confederate heritage should be seen as reflecting the norm rather than his own eccentricity.

In chronological order from most to least recent death, the Dixiechus include:

=== Joseph Chandler ===
[[File:Joseph chandler.png|thumb|right|150px|Joseph Chandler in 1911]]
'''Joseph Chandler''' (14 April 1832 - January 1925) of {{w|Autauga County, Alabama}} is Chris's great-great-grandfather along his paternal line. Joseph Chandler enlisted in the Confederate Army as a private in May 1862. Serving in the unit {{w|38th Alabama Infantry Regiment}} at {{w|Fort Gaines, Alabama|Fort Gaines}}, he fought in the {{w|Battle of Mobile Bay}} before being paroled in April 1865 after the conclusion of the war and was later discharged in August of that year due to broken shoulder.<ref>[https://kiwifarms.net/threads/random-thoughts-questions.49854/page-1487#post-10736839 A Kiwi Farms post with a record of Joseph Chandler]</ref><ref>https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/search-soldiers-detail.htm?soldierId=0AA5818C-DC7A-DF11-BF36-B8AC6F5D926A</ref> Joseph's professions after the war were farmer, shoe maker and largely a herb doctor.<ref>http://alagenealogy.com/Patriarchs/Chandler,%20Sidney%20Smith.htm#JOSEPH%20H.2%20CHANDLER</ref>

Joseph also had a younger brother Edmund (1835 - 1865, Chris's great-great-granduncle), who also fought for the Confederacy at [https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Camp_of_Instruction,_Talladega,_Alabama#:~:text=Talladega%20was%20one%20of%20two,would%20be%20obliged%20to%20enroll.| Camp of Instruction, Talladega, Alabama], died as a result during the war in 1865.<ref>https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/search-soldiers-detail.htm?soldierId=C3A5818C-DC7A-DF11-BF36-B8AC6F5D926A</ref> Joseph's two younger sons John (1876 - 1932) and Rufus (1880 - 1932), both were killed on March 21, 1932 in {{w|Chilton County, Alabama|Chilton County area}}, from the {{w|1932 Deep South tornado outbreak}}.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/106731994/john-tyler_morgan-chandler</ref><ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26986157/rufus-sidney-chandler</ref>

=== Caleb Nelson Headley ===
[[File:CalebHeadley.png|thumb|right|150px|Caleb Headley]]

'''Caleb Nelson Headley''' (1847-1921) was born on the 8th of March 1845 (1846 or 1847 depending on which source) in Darlington County, South Carolina as the only son of Wills Headley and Rebecca Bell, Caleb's father Wills died when he was just 7 years old in 1854, and he was soon taken into the custody of James Huckabee (who would later become his stepfather), who taught the boy farming until he was 21 years old.

In 1863 when he was just 18 years old, he enlisted in the Confederate Army as part of the 63rd Alabama Regiment, Company H (They were also known as Second Alabama Reserve), he took part in fighting in Spanish Fort (he was wounded) and was discharged at his home (he was on furlough at the time) in May of 1865.

Shortly after the end of the war, he settled in Coosa County Alabama, in 1874 he married Caroline Louisa Estes when he was 28 and she was 24 at her father's house in Talladega, Alabama, He would have 8 children from 1874 to 1892 including Martha Headley (Bob's paternal grandmother), Caleb was a farmer for most of his life, in 1898 he attempted to run for a political seat in Alabama State Assembly as a Representative for Chilton County as independent but withdraw and then backed the Populist ticket for that seat.

Caleb would see his health worsen in his later years, he became nearly blind by his late 60s and by 1920 was living with his son Robert E. L Headley. He died on August 21st, 1921 in Shelby County, Alabama at age of 76.

=== William Teer ===
[[File:Willam Teer.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Image of William Teer. (Very likely to be authentic) <ref>This image was uploaded to findagrave in 2016; William Teer was not known to Christorians to be Chris' ancestor in 2016. Family trees from both 2017[https://sonichu.com/cwcki/File:Chris%27s_family_tree_up_to_his_great_great_grandparents.png] and 2019[https://imgur.com/gallery/0BgQLyH] omit the ancestry of Bob's maternal grandmother. Furthermore, his biography on rootsweb uses a similar image.[https://freepages.rootsweb.com/~dougmay/genealogy/Wmteer.htm]</ref>]]
Bob's matrilineal great-grandfather, '''Dr. William Teer''' (March 29, 1837 - October 19, 1919), was born in {{w|Neshoba County, Mississippi}}, and grew up in {{w|Angelina County, Texas}} since he was 10 years old with his seven siblings. The family later relocated to {{w|Hopkins County, Texas|Hopkins County}} outside {{w|Cumby, Texas|Cumby}} in 1860, where he worked as a farmer before enlisting in the army for the Civil War.

In October 1861, aged 24, William and his two brothers James (1830 - 1863) and Wiley (1839 - 1862), enlisted in the Confederate Army in San Antonio. Serving in the 4th Texas Cavalry Regiment, William participated in the {{w|New Mexico campaign}} under {{w|Henry Hopkins Sibley|General Sibley}}. Both of his brothers died during the war; James died at a Union prison camp in Williamsburg, Virginia, in 1863. William and Wiley fought in the battles of {{w|Battle of Valverde|Valverde}} and later to {{w|Battle of Glorietta Pass|Glorietta Pass}}, where in April 1862, Wiley was reportedly "lost or killed" and William suffered serious injuries, including a shattered right arm, a damaged spleen, and later contracting hepatitis (It might be worth reflecting how close Teer was to dying at this point - a slightly different outcome could have prevented all of Christory a century before it began). After the capture of Texas Army's supply wagons by the US Army, they retreated, leaving William and other recovering soldiers at the {{w|Santa Fe, New Mexico|Santa Fe}} hospital before shortly being captured. He was later paroled in May 1862, returning to San Antonio. Due to his injuries and disability, he was honorably discharged from his unit by General {{w|Thomas Green (general)|Thomas Green}} in September 1863 and returned to his home in Cumby, working as a farmer despite his shattered right arm.

William was married four times throughout his life. In December 1862, he married Mary Frances Carraway of Alabama, who passed away in 1867. He then remarried Louisa Frances Spears of Tennesse, in 1868, but that marriage also ended early. In January 1871, he married Nancy Jane Coburn of {{w|Ashley County, Arkansas}}. From this marriage, he had seven children, including Mary Francis Teer, Bob's maternal grandmother and the wife of John James Hollomon. After Nancy's death in 1894, William remarried to Bettie King of {{w|Mount Pleasant, Texas|Mount Pleasant}} in March 1907 at age 70, and this marriage lasted until his death in 1919.

In November 1903, inspired by the nerve damage in his shattered right arm, William established himself as an {{w|osteopath}} doctor in {{w|Tyler, Texas}}, specializing in "Exophthalmic Goitre, Biliary Calculi (Gall Stones) Paralysis, and all Nervous Diseases." He became the president of the State Association of Drugless Doctors of Texas and advocated massaging and other holistic approaches to wellness. As a doctor in Tyler, he was described as a highly respected figure, endorsed by many prominent members of the city's society. After retiring, he resided at the Texas Confederate Home in Austin before moving back to Cumby in 1918, where he later passed away in October 1919 at his youngest daughter's {{w|Miller Grove, Texas|Miller Grove}} home caused by a second paralyzing stroke.

William was mentioned in a book titled "[https://archive.org/details/texanswhoworegra00john| Texans who Wore the Gray (1907)]", written by a Confederate officer, journalist, and author Sidney Smith Johnson (1840-1910). Johnson described William as "a brave Confederate soldier, a man of fine education, and a Christian gentleman."

=== Garnder E. Shearin ===
'''Garnder E. Shearin'''' (1836/1837 - 28 January 1901)<ref>https://digital.ncdcr.gov/Documents/Detail/shearin-gardner-e.-warren-county/1671784</ref><ref>https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-warren-record-gardner-early-shearin/521312/</ref> was a Confederate veteran from North Carolina. He married Martha in 1859. In May 1861, he enlisted in the Confederate army in Warren County, North Carolina, fighting in company B of North Carolina's 30th infantry regiment remaining in service until the end of the war in 1865.

An obituary to him reads: "I was not with him in the army but learned from others, that he was a faithful soldier. My association with him since the war enables me to say I never knew a kinder hearted or monre congenial natured man. Always ready to serve a friend."

He is ancestor of Chris via Barb's side of his ancestry.

=== Rufus Walker ===

'''Rufus Walker''' (1820-1895) was a Confederate soldier who served in Company H and came from Milton, Alabama, located in Autauga County. He became a prisoner of war after being surrendered by Lieutenant General Richard Taylor to Major E.R.S. Canby on May 4, 1865. Rufus was later paroled in Selma in June 1865.<ref>https://38thalabama.com/ndashv-to-zndash.html</ref>

He is Chris' great-great-great-grandfather, with the lineage as follows: Rufus Walker (1820-1895) > Mary Elizabeth Walker (1840-1887) > Joseph Chandler (1871-1947) > Robert F. Chandler Sr. (1906-1977) > Robert ("[[Bob]]") F. Chandler Jr. (1927-2011) > Chris

=== William Drury Thompson ===
'''William Drury Thompson''' (1814 - 17 May 1862) was a civil war enlistee from North Carolina, although it's unknown which side of the military force, (although there's a record suggesting he's a Confederate enlistee for North Carolina's Infantry 12th Regiment), died during his basic training in Richmond, Virginia due to illnesses, 2 months after enlisting.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/262604729/william-drury-thompson</ref>

He is Chris' great-great-great-grandfather. More specifically, he is the paternal grandfather of the maternal grandmother of Barbara.

==Ancestry.com content==
In [[January 2017]], a distant relative of Chris posted images to Kiwi Farms, on various documents relating to the Chandler family, acquired from Ancestry.com<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/interesting-info-about-chriss-family-particularly-their-parents.27521/</ref>

{{quotebox|Bob is apparently an only child, however Barbara has five deceased siblings and several more living ones.}}
{{quotebox|Most of Chris's ancestors were [[RandomSong1|farmers]], doing tasks that Chris would find back breaking.}}
{{quotebox|Chris, from what I gathered, is not 1/16 Cherokian. He is however 1/16 British and 1/8 French Canadian.}}
{{quotebox|His great great grandparent's from Northern Ireland.}}
The "Northern Irish" ancestor was Chris's great-great-grandmother Mary Weston (née McClintic, 31 Oct 1834 - 25 Dec 1910). Mary was born in the town of {{w|Omagh}} (whose name means "the [[Virgin with Rage|virgin]] plain" in Gaelic) in County Tyrone, in what is today {{w|Northern Ireland}}. She came to the United States between 1840 and 1850, likely as a result of the {{w|Irish Potato Famine}}.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/22502739/joseph-mcclintock</ref> She settled in Augusta, Ohio, where she married Joseph "John" Edward Weston, Chris's great-great-grandfather, in 1858, who was also from Augusta. Both later settled in {{w|Clarksville, Virginia}}.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/24279732/mary-weston</ref>

The "French Canadian" ancestor was Chris's great-grandmother Sarah Ann Weston (née {{w|Clan Hamilton|Hamilton}}, Apr 1867 - 25 Jan 1938), who was born in [[wikipedia:Huntingdon, Quebec|Huntingdon]], {{w|Quebec}} and came to Virginia with her family during the 1870s, settling near Red Oak.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/35318370/sarah-jane-weston</ref><ref>https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/6823228286:62476</ref> Although the majority of Quebeckers speak French, her surname and the fact that she was born in a predominantly English-speaking part of Quebec suggest that she belonged to the province's English-speaking minority. Moreover, her paternal and maternal grandparents were all born in [[Tito Got No Luck Against We Brits, Irish and Scots!|Scotland]], making her of entirely Scottish descent.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/249266361/jane-hamilton</ref><ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/249027191/daniel-hamilton</ref> Sarah is Chris's most recent immigrant ancestor.

[[File:Chrisfamilytree.png|thumb|Chris' family tree up to his great-great-grandparents|600x600px]]
Chris's ideas about his ancestry and lineage unsurprisingly differ greatly from what is known to be true.

Family members who live(d) after Chris was born can be found at [[Minor Family Members]].

== Notable ancestors ==
This section lists Chris' ancestors in chronological order from most to least recent death. Ancestors who fought for the Confederate States of America are listed separately, in the "Dixiechus" section.

=== Robert Wynn ===
Barbara's maternal grandfather '''Robert Pettus Wynn''' (17 Nov 1882 - 20 Jan 1954) was allegedly a two-timing [[Alcohol|drunk]] and moonshiner who "failed to provide even the most basic support for his wife and children".<ref>http://www.harveypowers.com/genealogy/roots/individual.html#118</ref> In his death certificate, his profession is given as [[tobacco]] farmer.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/238604751/robert-pettis-wynn</ref>

=== John James Hollomon ===
[[File:John James Hollomon.jpg|thumb|right|150px|John James Hollomon in 1910]]
Bob's maternal grandfather '''John James Hollomon''' (3 May 1868 - 16 Mar 1950) <ref>[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/10638068/john-james-hollomon]</ref> was born in {{w|Meigs County, Tennessee}} but lived most of his later life in {{w|Wylie, Texas}}, a city and suburb in {{w|Collin County, Texas|Collin County}} and {{w|Dallas}} respectively. He was a well-known local pharmacist in the Collin county for over 50 years. He married twice in his life, first to Mary Francis Hollomon (née Teer 10th March 1872 - 3 Jul 1914), the daughter of a doctor specializing in osteopathic, whom he had 4 children including Jean Hollomon, Bob's mother. In 1915 he married Helen E. Hollomon (née Nelms 10 Apr 1893 - 29 Oct 1972) with whom he had 3 more children including Bob's half uncle Dr. John James "JJ" Hollomon Jr (1917-1992). Bob reminisces that Hollomon gave him a straight razor "by means of [Hollomon's] last will and testament," and Bob instead broke it while using it as a screwdriver, which he later held onto this regret for decades well into his 60s because he believed Hollomon wanted him to have it as a personal item and value.

Notable enough, his father was an Esquire John Richmond Hollomon (1831 - 1899), a lawyer and attorney in the Meigs County area.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/70362078/susanna-brady#:~:text=of%20her%20son%2C-,J.R.%20Hollomon%20Esq.,-of%20this%20county</ref> More notable enough, his grandfather Pleasant Hollomon (1803 - 1865), served in the {{w|Tennessee House of Representatives}} in the Meigs and {{w|Rhea County, Tennessee|Rhea}} counties from 1849 to 1851. A democrat, he was a constable of the 5th Civil district of Meigs county in 1836-1839, was a deputy sheriff of Meigs in early 1840s and a deputy and tax collector in 1845.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/70361465/pleasant-hollomon</ref>

===Rev. Sidney Smith Chandler===
'''The Reverend Sidney Smith Chandler''' (1805 - September 1866) was a Baptist minister and clergyman in Alabama. He is Chris's great-great-great grandfather along his paternal line. Born in Georgia, his father died in 1816 when he was 11. He moved to Alabama in 1829 and became a Primitive Baptist Clergyman and Minster in Autauga County. He also was a slaveowner, owning one female slave in the 1850 slave census.

He later married Mary Lucinda Walker and later fathered 12 children, including Joseph and his brother Edmund. He died in September of 1866 just shortly after the end of the American Civil War. Two of his sons, James (1830-1862) and Edmund (1835-1865) would die fighting in the Civil War.

===Francis Weston===
'''Francis Weston Sr.''' (Feb 1793 - 19 March 1838) was an English-born immigrant to the United States and a frontiersmen. He is Barbara's great-great-grandfather along her paternal line, making him Chris's maternal great-great-great-grandfather.

Born in {{w|Derbyshire}}, he had immigrated to [[Ohio]] by 1820 and married at {{w|Wheeling, West Virginia}} a year later to Grace Moore, an English-born American, whose parents were also an immigrants from Derbyshire. They had six out of seven children survived, the second oldest being Mary Ann Weston in 1825 and the youngest Joseph Edward "John" Weston in July 1836,<ref>[https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-6Q23-PTF?i=2&cc=1401638&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AMXSB-9Q8 Joseph (listed as Edward Weston) with his three older siblings and mother Gracy in 1850 census)]</ref><ref>[https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-9BS6-DF?i=8&cc=1473181&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AMCPH-V55 Gracy Weston (Joseph's mother) in 1860 census with her son Francis]</ref> all in {{w|Augusta Township, Carroll County, Ohio|Augusta Township}}. Through Joseph, Francis's surname would be carried on to [[Barbara]], which, in turn, would serve as the basis for [[Chris|our hero]]'s middle name.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/118642485/francis-weston</ref>

According to newspapers, After immigrating to Augusta Township, Francis, a frontiersmen, built a homestead house of his and his family in a wilderness place with 2 other families surrounded by wild animals and forest. The homestead house was a shanty with puncheon floor and chimney made with sticks and clay. They mentioned about the one occasion Francis was chased by wolves in a forest when coming home from buying fresh meats. Francis would pass away at age 45 in March 1838, 2 years after his youngest son Joseph was born.

In a later pseudo-historical account of events by Barbara and Chris, Francis is replaced by a certain [[Daniel Weston]]. Unlike the historical Francis Weston, ''Daniel'' Weston travelled to North America in 1620 (a whole 2 centuries earlier than Francis), and has the honor of being of a descendant of [[Anne Boleyn]] (whose {{w|Elizabeth I|only daughter}} died childless).

Francis' son, Francis Weston Jr, according to newspapers, was a "popular" and successful businessman and general merchant, owning iron and furnace company, and many other successful companies at Ohio, West Virginia and Missouri with a college education to his name. Through his daughter Jane, Francis Sr is the grandfather of {{w|Pierce County, Washington}}'s Superior Court judge & attorney William Oscar Chapman, who at the time of admitting to {{w|Ohio State Bar Association|Ohio bar}}, was in the same group of applicants with a later president of the United States {{w|William Howard Taft}}.

=== Captain Joseph Looney ===
Joseph Lewellyn Looney (abt.1740-1816) fought in the {{w|American Revolutionary War}} on the Patriot side. He fought in the {{w|Battle of Guilford Court House}} under major general [[Nathanael Greene Elementary School|Nathanael Greene]].<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Looney-149</ref>

=== Polly Bowman ===
{{main|Ancient leader of the Cherokee Clan}}
Chris has at least one [[Cherokee]] ancestor, about whom he absolutely knows nothing. The ancestor was introduced in ''[[Sonichu 2|Sonichu #2]]'', which was completed on 3 May 2005. The ancestor was long assumed to be nonexistent, but on 16 January 2025 - 19 years and 8 months later - the ancestor was discovered to be real by CWCki editor [[User:Cilria2|Cilria2]]. '''Polly Bowman "Cherokee Mother" Cherokee''' (abt 1703 to 1790) is Chris's 7th great-grandmother.

=== John Chandler and Elizabeth Lupo ===
Although there is no evidence that his mother's ancestors were on board the ''Mayflower'', Chris's paternal ancestors were among the first settlers of his home state of Virginia. Chris's direct male ancestor '''John Chandler''' (c. 1600-1657), a native of London, was an early settler of {{w|Jamestown, Virginia|Jamestown}}, [[Virginia]], arriving in 1610 with a boat ''Hercules'', ten years before the ''Mayflower''.<ref>https://www.geni.com/people/John-Chandler-l/6000000008639070482</ref> John married the widow '''Elizabeth Lupo''' (née '''Bassano'''), a member of the illustrious {{w|Jeronimo Bassano|Bassano family}} of [[music|musicians]] who had been recruited from Venice by {{w|King Henry VIII}} to serve in his court (some have claimed that the Bassanos were of [[Michael Snyder|Jewish]] origin, but the jury is out). The Chandler family migrated southwest over the generations, passing through North Carolina and Georgia before settling in Alabama, Bob's home state.

John Chandler is the fifth great-grandfather of the Dixiechu Joseph Chandler, and the ninth great-grandfather of Chris.

===Richard Baker===
{{w|Richard Baker (chronicler)|Richard Baker}} (c. 1568 – 18 February 1645) was a politician, historian and religious writer. He was the English author of the ''Chronicle of the Kings of England'' and other works.

He is the 12th great-grandfather of Chris on Bob's mother side.

===Edward, Thomas Palmer & Thomas Overbury===
Thanks to John Chandler's grandson's wife Elizabeth Palmer, Chris's 7th great-grandmother, some Christorians did research about her ancestors. Chris has three known ancestors, two of which are Chris descendent of, and other is distantly related.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-2791</ref><ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-533</ref><ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-229</ref>

Chris is a descendant of his 10th great-grandfather '''{{w|Edward Palmer (d.1624)|Edward Palmer}}''' (c. 1555–1624) from {{w|Gloucestershire}}, England, a gentleman with antiquarian interests who was known for his [[Stamps|extensive collections]] such as Roman coins and is best remembered for purchasing the then unnamed {{w|Garrett Island}} in colony of Virginia (now Maryland) for his plan of establishing university at the island.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-544</ref>

Edward had a son whom Chris is also descendant from. '''{{w|Thomas Palmer (burgess)|Thomas Palmer}}''' settled at Jamestown, Virginia on a boat ''Tyger'' with his wife Joan Jordan and 11 years old daughter Priscilla in November 1621. Shortly after their arrival at Jamestown, the Palmers were nearly killed by the [[Cherokian Clan|Powhatans]] during the {{w|Indian massacre of 1622}}, but survived by living in {{w|Jordan Point, Virginia#Jordan's Journey: Beggars Bush|Jordan's Journey}} shelter residence. Thomas was a captain in command of a company of militia from {{w|Eppes Island|Shirley Hundred Island}} and was a member of {{w|House of Burgesses}} at Jamestown on October 16, 1629.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-229</ref>

Perhaps notably, Thomas was a first cousin of [[Chris_and_writing#Chris_as_a_poet_and_lyricist|poet]] and [[Chris_and_writing#Chris_as_an_essayist|essayist]] '''{{w|Thomas Overbury}}''' through his father's sister Mary Palmer and her husband {{w|Nicholas Overbury}}. Overbury was known for his poem, ''A Wife'', and a victim of murder by poisoning which led to a scandalous trial.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Overbury-10</ref>

=== Sir James Croft ===
Sir {{w|James Croft}} (1518- 4 September 1590) was English politician, who was Lord Deputy of Ireland, and MP for Herefordshire in the Parliament of England, He is Chris 12th great-grandfather on his paternal side.

=== Hugh and Isabel Bardolf ===
[[Image:Chris Anne Boleyn.png|thumb|How Chris is related to Anne Boleyn.]]
'''Hugh Bardolf''' (c. 29 September 1259 - c. 20 September 1304) <ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bardolf-9</ref> and '''Isabel Bardolf''' (born '''Isabel Aguillon'''; c. 25 March 1258 - c. 28 May 1323) <ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Aguillon-5</ref>, Chris' 19th great-grandparents, were a medieval English couple who married in 1281. According to a Redditor's Wikitree research in 2022, they are Chris' most recent shared ancestors with [[Anne Boleyn]] (albeit on his father's side, not his mother's): they gave birth to Thomas (Boleyn's 6th great-grandfather) in 1282, Margery around 1283, William in 1284, and Nicola (Chris' 18th great-grandmother) around 1294. This means that, although Chris is not ''descended'' from Anne Boleyn, he is indeed a distant relative. This is hardly surprising, as all humans are relatives of each other of varying distance.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/ChrisChanSonichu/comments/tedhwz/barb_may_not_have_been_related_to_anne_boleyn_but/</ref><ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Aguillon-5</ref>

In addition to being the source of Chris's distant connection with Anne Boleyn, Hugh Bardolf was the first nobleman of {{w|Baron Bardolf}}, a noble title in the {{w|Peerage of England}}. His wife Isabel was a member of the {{w|Aguillon family}} (of French origin), who were feudal landowners in England. Isabel's father, Sir Robert Aguillon (c. 1226 - 15 February 1286)<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Aguillon-4</ref>, was a Sheriff of Surrey & Sussex County and a keeper of two castles in both counties.

Hugh Bardolf's descendants unite with those of John Chandler (b. 1600) in 1700, when Robert Chandler (John's grandson, 1659 - c. 1720) and his wife Elizabeth Palmer (Hugh's 10th great-granddaughter, b. 1664) give birth to Joseph Chandler (11 Aug 1700 - 11 Oct 1764), Chris' 6th great-grandparent, in {{w|New Kent, Virginia}}.

A stark contrast can be observed in the fact that Hugh's first child is the ancestor of prestigious nobility (namely an Anne Boleyn and actual queen of England, Elizabeth I), while Hugh's fourth and last child is the ancestor of our infamous protagonist.

== Dixiechus ==
"'''Dixiechus'''" is a nickname used by Christorians to describe ancestors of Chris who fought for the {{w|Confederate States of America}} during the {{w|American Civil War}}. It is a portmanteau of ''{{w|Dixie}}'' and ''[[Sonichu]]''. The first Dixiechu to be identified was Joseph Chandler, discovered by Kiwifarms user Meat Pickle on 20 December 2021. The term "Dixiechu" was proposed on the [[Official CWCki Server]] on 24 April 2024, by which point four Dixiechus had been identified.

During the [[Jail Saga]], Chris was asked if he may have had ancestors who fought for the Confederacy, at a time when Joseph Chandler (on his father's side) was the only known Dixiechu. In [[Jail Letter - 25 May 2022]], he denied that his father's ancestors had fought for the Confederacy, but conceded that his mother's ancestors may have done so. In 2024, Christorians discovered William Drury Thompson - a Dixiechu on the maternal side of Chris' ancestry - partially vindicating Chris' statement.

As of 2026, Christorians have identified 6 Dixiechus. Half are known to have been sustained combat injuries. 2 hailed from Alabama, 2 from North Carolina, 1 from South Carolina, and 1 from Mississippi. Though [[Virginia]] was both the Confederacy's most populous state and stands as Chris' place or origin, it is not known to have spawned any Dixiechus.

A total of 1,082,119 people served the {{w|Confederate States Army}} during the civil war.<ref>https://www.battlefields.org/learn/articles/civil-war-facts</ref> Anecdotal evidence suggests that half of modern-day southerners have ancestors who fought for the Confederacy.<ref>There is no large-scale study of Confederate ancestry to the knowledge of this wiki, but genealogists familiar with this area tend to estimate a ballpark of 40-55%.[https://pastexplore.wordpress.com/2015/05/13/okay-so-you-have-civil-war-ancestors/][https://www.quora.com/What-percentage-of-todays-southern-US-population-actually-have-ancestors-who-fought-for-the-confederacy]</ref> In this light, Chris' Confederate heritage should be seen as reflecting the norm rather than his own eccentricity.

In chronological order from most to least recent death, the Dixiechus include:

=== Joseph Chandler ===
[[File:Joseph chandler.png|thumb|right|150px|Joseph Chandler in 1911]]
'''Joseph Chandler''' (14 April 1832 - January 1925) of {{w|Autauga County, Alabama}} is Chris's great-great-grandfather along his paternal line. Joseph Chandler enlisted in the Confederate Army as a private in May 1862. Serving in the unit {{w|38th Alabama Infantry Regiment}} at {{w|Fort Gaines, Alabama|Fort Gaines}}, he fought in the {{w|Battle of Mobile Bay}} before being paroled in April 1865 after the conclusion of the war and was later discharged in August of that year due to broken shoulder.<ref>[https://kiwifarms.net/threads/random-thoughts-questions.49854/page-1487#post-10736839 A Kiwi Farms post with a record of Joseph Chandler]</ref><ref>https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/search-soldiers-detail.htm?soldierId=0AA5818C-DC7A-DF11-BF36-B8AC6F5D926A</ref> Joseph's professions after the war were farmer, shoe maker and largely a herb doctor.<ref>http://alagenealogy.com/Patriarchs/Chandler,%20Sidney%20Smith.htm#JOSEPH%20H.2%20CHANDLER</ref>

Joseph also had a younger brother Edmund (1835 - 1865, Chris's great-great-granduncle), who also fought for the Confederacy at [https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Camp_of_Instruction,_Talladega,_Alabama#:~:text=Talladega%20was%20one%20of%20two,would%20be%20obliged%20to%20enroll.| Camp of Instruction, Talladega, Alabama], died as a result during the war in 1865.<ref>https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/search-soldiers-detail.htm?soldierId=C3A5818C-DC7A-DF11-BF36-B8AC6F5D926A</ref> Joseph's two younger sons John (1876 - 1932) and Rufus (1880 - 1932), both were killed on March 21, 1932 in {{w|Chilton County, Alabama|Chilton County area}}, from the {{w|1932 Deep South tornado outbreak}}.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/106731994/john-tyler_morgan-chandler</ref><ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26986157/rufus-sidney-chandler</ref>

=== Caleb Nelson Headley ===
[[File:CalebHeadley.png|thumb|right|150px|Caleb Headley]]

'''Caleb Nelson Headley''' (1847-1921) was born on the 8th of March 1845 (1846 or 1847 depending on which source) in Darlington County, South Carolina as the only son of Wills Headley and Rebecca Bell, Caleb's father Wills died when he was just 7 years old in 1854, and he was soon taken into the custody of James Huckabee (who would later become his stepfather), who taught the boy farming until he was 21 years old.

In 1863 when he was just 18 years old, he enlisted in the Confederate Army as part of the 63rd Alabama Regiment, Company H (They were also known as Second Alabama Reserve), he took part in fighting in Spanish Fort (he was wounded) and was discharged at his home (he was on furlough at the time) in May of 1865.

Shortly after the end of the war, he settled in Coosa County Alabama, in 1874 he married Caroline Louisa Estes when he was 28 and she was 24 at her father's house in Talladega, Alabama, He would have 8 children from 1874 to 1892 including Martha Headley (Bob's paternal grandmother), Caleb was a farmer for most of his life, in 1898 he attempted to run for a political seat in Alabama State Assembly as a Representative for Chilton County as independent but withdraw and then backed the Populist ticket for that seat.

Caleb would see his health worsen in his later years, he became nearly blind by his late 60s and by 1920 was living with his son Robert E. L Headley. He died on August 21st, 1921 in Shelby County, Alabama at age of 76.

=== William Teer ===
[[File:Willam Teer.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Image of William Teer. (Very likely to be authentic) <ref>This image was uploaded to findagrave in 2016; William Teer was not known to Christorians to be Chris' ancestor in 2016. Family trees from both 2017[https://sonichu.com/cwcki/File:Chris%27s_family_tree_up_to_his_great_great_grandparents.png] and 2019[https://imgur.com/gallery/0BgQLyH] omit the ancestry of Bob's maternal grandmother. Furthermore, his biography on rootsweb uses a similar image.[https://freepages.rootsweb.com/~dougmay/genealogy/Wmteer.htm]</ref>]]
Bob's matrilineal great-grandfather, '''Dr. William Teer''' (March 29, 1837 - October 19, 1919), was born in {{w|Neshoba County, Mississippi}}, and grew up in {{w|Angelina County, Texas}} since he was 10 years old with his seven siblings. The family later relocated to {{w|Hopkins County, Texas|Hopkins County}} outside {{w|Cumby, Texas|Cumby}} in 1860, where he worked as a farmer before enlisting in the army for the Civil War.

In October 1861, aged 24, William and his two brothers James (1830 - 1863) and Wiley (1839 - 1862), enlisted in the Confederate Army in San Antonio. Serving in the 4th Texas Cavalry Regiment, William participated in the {{w|New Mexico campaign}} under {{w|Henry Hopkins Sibley|General Sibley}}. Both of his brothers died during the war; James died at a Union prison camp in Williamsburg, Virginia, in 1863. William and Wiley fought in the battles of {{w|Battle of Valverde|Valverde}} and later to {{w|Battle of Glorietta Pass|Glorietta Pass}}, where in April 1862, Wiley was reportedly "lost or killed" and William suffered serious injuries, including a shattered right arm, a damaged spleen, and later contracting hepatitis (It might be worth reflecting how close Teer was to dying at this point - a slightly different outcome could have prevented all of Christory a century before it began). After the capture of Texas Army's supply wagons by the US Army, they retreated, leaving William and other recovering soldiers at the {{w|Santa Fe, New Mexico|Santa Fe}} hospital before shortly being captured. He was later paroled in May 1862, returning to San Antonio. Due to his injuries and disability, he was honorably discharged from his unit by General {{w|Thomas Green (general)|Thomas Green}} in September 1863 and returned to his home in Cumby, working as a farmer despite his shattered right arm.

William was married four times throughout his life. In December 1862, he married Mary Frances Carraway of Alabama, who passed away in 1867. He then remarried Louisa Frances Spears of Tennesse, in 1868, but that marriage also ended early. In January 1871, he married Nancy Jane Coburn of {{w|Ashley County, Arkansas}}. From this marriage, he had seven children, including Mary Francis Teer, Bob's maternal grandmother and the wife of John James Hollomon. After Nancy's death in 1894, William remarried to Bettie King of {{w|Mount Pleasant, Texas|Mount Pleasant}} in March 1907 at age 70, and this marriage lasted until his death in 1919.

In November 1903, inspired by the nerve damage in his shattered right arm, William established himself as an {{w|osteopath}} doctor in {{w|Tyler, Texas}}, specializing in "Exophthalmic Goitre, Biliary Calculi (Gall Stones) Paralysis, and all Nervous Diseases." He became the president of the State Association of Drugless Doctors of Texas and advocated massaging and other holistic approaches to wellness. As a doctor in Tyler, he was described as a highly respected figure, endorsed by many prominent members of the city's society. After retiring, he resided at the Texas Confederate Home in Austin before moving back to Cumby in 1918, where he later passed away in October 1919 at his youngest daughter's {{w|Miller Grove, Texas|Miller Grove}} home caused by a second paralyzing stroke.

William was mentioned in a book titled "[https://archive.org/details/texanswhoworegra00john| Texans who Wore the Gray (1907)]", written by a Confederate officer, journalist, and author Sidney Smith Johnson (1840-1910). Johnson described William as "a brave Confederate soldier, a man of fine education, and a Christian gentleman."

=== Garnder E. Shearin ===
'''Garnder E. Shearin'''' (1836/1837 - 28 January 1901)<ref>https://digital.ncdcr.gov/Documents/Detail/shearin-gardner-e.-warren-county/1671784</ref><ref>https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-warren-record-gardner-early-shearin/521312/</ref> was a Confederate veteran from North Carolina. He married Martha in 1859. In May 1861, he enlisted in the Confederate army in Warren County, North Carolina, fighting in company B of North Carolina's 30th infantry regiment remaining in service until the end of the war in 1865.

An obituary to him reads: "I was not with him in the army but learned from others, that he was a faithful soldier. My association with him since the war enables me to say I never knew a kinder hearted or monre congenial natured man. Always ready to serve a friend."

He is ancestor of Chris via Barb's side of his ancestry.

=== Rufus Walker ===

'''Rufus Walker''' (1820-1895) was a Confederate soldier who served in Company H and came from Milton, Alabama, located in Autauga County. He became a prisoner of war after being surrendered by Lieutenant General Richard Taylor to Major E.R.S. Canby on May 4, 1865. Rufus was later paroled in Selma in June 1865.<ref>https://38thalabama.com/ndashv-to-zndash.html</ref>

He is Chris' great-great-great-grandfather, with the lineage as follows: Rufus Walker (1820-1895) > Mary Elizabeth Walker (1840-1887) > Joseph Chandler (1871-1947) > Robert F. Chandler Sr. (1906-1977) > Robert ("[[Bob]]") F. Chandler Jr. (1927-2011) > Chris

=== William Drury Thompson ===
'''William Drury Thompson''' (1814 - 17 May 1862) was a civil war enlistee from North Carolina, although it's unknown which side of the military force, (although there's a record suggesting he's a Confederate enlistee for North Carolina's Infantry 12th Regiment), died during his basic training in Richmond, Virginia due to illnesses, 2 months after enlisting.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/262604729/william-drury-thompson</ref>

He is Chris' great-great-great-grandfather. More specifically, he is the paternal grandfather of the maternal grandmother of Barbara.

==Ancestry.com content==
In [[January 2017]], a distant relative of Chris posted images to Kiwi Farms, on various documents relating to the Chandler family, acquired from Ancestry.com<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/interesting-info-about-chriss-family-particularly-their-parents.27521/</ref>

{{quotebox|Bob is apparently an only child, however Barbara has five deceased siblings and several more living ones.}}
{{quotebox|Most of Chris's ancestors were [[RandomSong1|farmers]], doing tasks that Chris would find back breaking.}}
{{quotebox|Chris, from what I gathered, is not 1/16 Cherokian. He is however 1/16 British and 1/8 French Canadian.}}
{{quotebox|His great great grandparent's from Northern Ireland.}}
The "Northern Irish" ancestor was Chris's great-great-grandmother Mary Weston (née McClintic, 31 Oct 1834 - 25 Dec 1910). Mary was born in the town of {{w|Omagh}} (whose name means "the [[Virgin with Rage|virgin]] plain" in Gaelic) in County Tyrone, in what is today {{w|Northern Ireland}}. She came to the United States between 1840 and 1850, likely as a result of the {{w|Irish Potato Famine}}.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/22502739/joseph-mcclintock</ref> She settled in Augusta, Ohio, where she married Joseph "John" Edward Weston, Chris's great-great-grandfather, in 1858, who was also from Augusta. Both later settled in {{w|Clarksville, Virginia}}.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/24279732/mary-weston</ref>

The "French Canadian" ancestor was Chris's great-grandmother Sarah Ann Weston (née {{w|Clan Hamilton|Hamilton}}, Apr 1867 - 25 Jan 1938), who was born in [[wikipedia:Huntingdon, Quebec|Huntingdon]], {{w|Quebec}} and came to Virginia with her family during the 1870s, settling near Red Oak.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/35318370/sarah-jane-weston</ref><ref>https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/6823228286:62476</ref> Although the majority of Quebeckers speak French, her surname and the fact that she was born in a predominantly English-speaking part of Quebec suggest that she belonged to the province's English-speaking minority. Moreover, her paternal and maternal grandparents were all born in [[Tito Got No Luck Against We Brits, Irish and Scots!|Scotland]], making her of entirely Scottish descent.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/249266361/jane-hamilton</ref><ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/249027191/daniel-hamilton</ref> Sarah is Chris's most recent immigrant ancestor.

Chris's ideas about his ancestry and lineage unsurprisingly differ greatly from what is known to be true.

Family members who live(d) after Chris was born can be found at [[Minor Family Members]].

== Notable ancestors ==
This section lists Chris' ancestors in chronological order from most to least recent death. Ancestors who fought for the Confederate States of America are listed separately, in the "Dixiechus" section.

=== Robert Wynn ===
Barbara's maternal grandfather '''Robert Pettus Wynn''' (17 Nov 1882 - 20 Jan 1954) was allegedly a two-timing [[Alcohol|drunk]] and moonshiner who "failed to provide even the most basic support for his wife and children".<ref>http://www.harveypowers.com/genealogy/roots/individual.html#118</ref> In his death certificate, his profession is given as [[tobacco]] farmer.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/238604751/robert-pettis-wynn</ref>

=== John James Hollomon ===
[[File:John James Hollomon.jpg|thumb|right|150px|John James Hollomon in 1910]]
Bob's maternal grandfather '''John James Hollomon''' (3 May 1868 - 16 Mar 1950) <ref>[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/10638068/john-james-hollomon]</ref> was born in {{w|Meigs County, Tennessee}} but lived most of his later life in {{w|Wylie, Texas}}, a city and suburb in {{w|Collin County, Texas|Collin County}} and {{w|Dallas}} respectively. He was a well-known local pharmacist in the Collin county for over 50 years. He married twice in his life, first to Mary Francis Hollomon (née Teer 10th March 1872 - 3 Jul 1914), the daughter of a doctor specializing in osteopathic, whom he had 4 children including Jean Hollomon, Bob's mother. In 1915 he married Helen E. Hollomon (née Nelms 10 Apr 1893 - 29 Oct 1972) with whom he had 3 more children including Bob's half uncle Dr. John James "JJ" Hollomon Jr (1917-1992). Bob reminisces that Hollomon gave him a straight razor "by means of [Hollomon's] last will and testament," and Bob instead broke it while using it as a screwdriver, which he later held onto this regret for decades well into his 60s because he believed Hollomon wanted him to have it as a personal item and value.

Notable enough, his father was an Esquire John Richmond Hollomon (1831 - 1899), a lawyer and attorney in the Meigs County area.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/70362078/susanna-brady#:~:text=of%20her%20son%2C-,J.R.%20Hollomon%20Esq.,-of%20this%20county</ref> More notable enough, his grandfather Pleasant Hollomon (1803 - 1865), served in the {{w|Tennessee House of Representatives}} in the Meigs and {{w|Rhea County, Tennessee|Rhea}} counties from 1849 to 1851. A democrat, he was a constable of the 5th Civil district of Meigs county in 1836-1839, was a deputy sheriff of Meigs in early 1840s and a deputy and tax collector in 1845.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/70361465/pleasant-hollomon</ref>

===Rev. Sidney Smith Chandler===
'''The Reverend Sidney Smith Chandler''' (1805 - September 1866) was a Baptist minister and clergyman in Alabama. He is Chris's great-great-great grandfather along his paternal line. Born in Georgia, his father died in 1816 when he was 11. He moved to Alabama in 1829 and became a Primitive Baptist Clergyman and Minster in Autauga County. He also was a slaveowner, owning one female slave in the 1850 slave census.

He later married Mary Lucinda Walker and later fathered 12 children, including Joseph and his brother Edmund. He died in September of 1866 just shortly after the end of the American Civil War. Two of his sons, James (1830-1862) and Edmund (1835-1865) would die fighting in the Civil War.

===Francis Weston===
'''Francis Weston Sr.''' (Feb 1793 - 19 March 1838) was an English-born immigrant to the United States and a frontiersmen. He is Barbara's great-great-grandfather along her paternal line, making him Chris's maternal great-great-great-grandfather.

Born in {{w|Derbyshire}}, he had immigrated to [[Ohio]] by 1820 and married at {{w|Wheeling, West Virginia}} a year later to Grace Moore, an English-born American, whose parents were also an immigrants from Derbyshire. They had six out of seven children survived, the second oldest being Mary Ann Weston in 1825 and the youngest Joseph Edward "John" Weston in July 1836,<ref>[https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-6Q23-PTF?i=2&cc=1401638&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AMXSB-9Q8 Joseph (listed as Edward Weston) with his three older siblings and mother Gracy in 1850 census)]</ref><ref>[https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-9BS6-DF?i=8&cc=1473181&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AMCPH-V55 Gracy Weston (Joseph's mother) in 1860 census with her son Francis]</ref> all in {{w|Augusta Township, Carroll County, Ohio|Augusta Township}}. Through Joseph, Francis's surname would be carried on to [[Barbara]], which, in turn, would serve as the basis for [[Chris|our hero]]'s middle name.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/118642485/francis-weston</ref>

According to newspapers, After immigrating to Augusta Township, Francis, a frontiersmen, built a homestead house of his and his family in a wilderness place with 2 other families surrounded by wild animals and forest. The homestead house was a shanty with puncheon floor and chimney made with sticks and clay. They mentioned about the one occasion Francis was chased by wolves in a forest when coming home from buying fresh meats. Francis would pass away at age 45 in March 1838, 2 years after his youngest son Joseph was born.

In a later pseudo-historical account of events by Barbara and Chris, Francis is replaced by a certain [[Daniel Weston]]. Unlike the historical Francis Weston, ''Daniel'' Weston travelled to North America in 1620 (a whole 2 centuries earlier than Francis), and has the honor of being of a descendant of [[Anne Boleyn]] (whose {{w|Elizabeth I|only daughter}} died childless).

Francis' son, Francis Weston Jr, according to newspapers, was a "popular" and successful businessman and general merchant, owning iron and furnace company, and many other successful companies at Ohio, West Virginia and Missouri with a college education to his name. Through his daughter Jane, Francis Sr is the grandfather of {{w|Pierce County, Washington}}'s Superior Court judge & attorney William Oscar Chapman, who at the time of admitting to {{w|Ohio State Bar Association|Ohio bar}}, was in the same group of applicants with a later president of the United States {{w|William Howard Taft}}.

=== Captain Joseph Looney ===
Joseph Lewellyn Looney (abt.1740-1816) fought in the {{w|American Revolutionary War}} on the Patriot side. He fought in the {{w|Battle of Guilford Court House}} under major general [[Nathanael Greene Elementary School|Nathanael Greene]].<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Looney-149</ref>

=== Polly Bowman ===
{{main|Ancient leader of the Cherokee Clan}}
Chris has at least one [[Cherokee]] ancestor, about whom he absolutely knows nothing. The ancestor was introduced in ''[[Sonichu 2|Sonichu #2]]'', which was completed on 3 May 2005. The ancestor was long assumed to be nonexistent, but on 16 January 2025 - 19 years and 8 months later - the ancestor was discovered to be real by CWCki editor [[User:Cilria2|Cilria2]]. '''Polly Bowman "Cherokee Mother" Cherokee''' (abt 1703 to 1790) is Chris's 7th great-grandmother.

=== John Chandler and Elizabeth Lupo ===
Although there is no evidence that his mother's ancestors were on board the ''Mayflower'', Chris's paternal ancestors were among the first settlers of his home state of Virginia. Chris's direct male ancestor '''John Chandler''' (c. 1600-1657), a native of London, was an early settler of {{w|Jamestown, Virginia|Jamestown}}, [[Virginia]], arriving in 1610 with a boat ''Hercules'', ten years before the ''Mayflower''.<ref>https://www.geni.com/people/John-Chandler-l/6000000008639070482</ref> John married the widow '''Elizabeth Lupo''' (née '''Bassano'''), a member of the illustrious {{w|Jeronimo Bassano|Bassano family}} of [[music|musicians]] who had been recruited from Venice by {{w|King Henry VIII}} to serve in his court (some have claimed that the Bassanos were of [[Michael Snyder|Jewish]] origin, but the jury is out). The Chandler family migrated southwest over the generations, passing through North Carolina and Georgia before settling in Alabama, Bob's home state.

John Chandler is the fifth great-grandfather of the Dixiechu Joseph Chandler, and the ninth great-grandfather of Chris.

===Richard Baker===
{{w|Richard Baker (chronicler)|Richard Baker}} (c. 1568 – 18 February 1645) was a politician, historian and religious writer. He was the English author of the ''Chronicle of the Kings of England'' and other works.

He is the 12th great-grandfather of Chris on Bob's mother side.

===Edward, Thomas Palmer & Thomas Overbury===
Thanks to John Chandler's grandson's wife Elizabeth Palmer, Chris's 7th great-grandmother, some Christorians did research about her ancestors. Chris has three known ancestors, two of which are Chris descendent of, and other is distantly related.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-2791</ref><ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-533</ref><ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-229</ref>

Chris is a descendant of his 10th great-grandfather '''{{w|Edward Palmer (d.1624)|Edward Palmer}}''' (c. 1555–1624) from {{w|Gloucestershire}}, England, a gentleman with antiquarian interests who was known for his [[Stamps|extensive collections]] such as Roman coins and is best remembered for purchasing the then unnamed {{w|Garrett Island}} in colony of Virginia (now Maryland) for his plan of establishing university at the island.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-544</ref>

Edward had a son whom Chris is also descendant from. '''{{w|Thomas Palmer (burgess)|Thomas Palmer}}''' settled at Jamestown, Virginia on a boat ''Tyger'' with his wife Joan Jordan and 11 years old daughter Priscilla in November 1621. Shortly after their arrival at Jamestown, the Palmers were nearly killed by the [[Cherokian Clan|Powhatans]] during the {{w|Indian massacre of 1622}}, but survived by living in {{w|Jordan Point, Virginia#Jordan's Journey: Beggars Bush|Jordan's Journey}} shelter residence. Thomas was a captain in command of a company of militia from {{w|Eppes Island|Shirley Hundred Island}} and was a member of {{w|House of Burgesses}} at Jamestown on October 16, 1629.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-229</ref>

Perhaps notably, Thomas was a first cousin of [[Chris_and_writing#Chris_as_a_poet_and_lyricist|poet]] and [[Chris_and_writing#Chris_as_an_essayist|essayist]] '''{{w|Thomas Overbury}}''' through his father's sister Mary Palmer and her husband {{w|Nicholas Overbury}}. Overbury was known for his poem, ''A Wife'', and a victim of murder by poisoning which led to a scandalous trial.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Overbury-10</ref>

=== Sir James Croft ===
Sir {{w|James Croft}} (1518- 4 September 1590) was English politician, who was Lord Deputy of Ireland, and MP for Herefordshire in the Parliament of England, He is Chris 12th great-grandfather on his paternal side.

=== Hugh and Isabel Bardolf ===
[[Image:Chris Anne Boleyn.png|thumb|How Chris is related to Anne Boleyn.]]
'''Hugh Bardolf''' (c. 29 September 1259 - c. 20 September 1304) <ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bardolf-9</ref> and '''Isabel Bardolf''' (born '''Isabel Aguillon'''; c. 25 March 1258 - c. 28 May 1323) <ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Aguillon-5</ref>, Chris' 19th great-grandparents, were a medieval English couple who married in 1281. According to a Redditor's Wikitree research in 2022, they are Chris' most recent shared ancestors with [[Anne Boleyn]] (albeit on his father's side, not his mother's): they gave birth to Thomas (Boleyn's 6th great-grandfather) in 1282, Margery around 1283, William in 1284, and Nicola (Chris' 18th great-grandmother) around 1294. This means that, although Chris is not ''descended'' from Anne Boleyn, he is indeed a distant relative. This is hardly surprising, as all humans are relatives of each other of varying distance.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/ChrisChanSonichu/comments/tedhwz/barb_may_not_have_been_related_to_anne_boleyn_but/</ref><ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Aguillon-5</ref>

In addition to being the source of Chris's distant connection with Anne Boleyn, Hugh Bardolf was the first nobleman of {{w|Baron Bardolf}}, a noble title in the {{w|Peerage of England}}. His wife Isabel was a member of the {{w|Aguillon family}} (of French origin), who were feudal landowners in England. Isabel's father, Sir Robert Aguillon (c. 1226 - 15 February 1286)<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Aguillon-4</ref>, was a Sheriff of Surrey & Sussex County and a keeper of two castles in both counties.

Hugh Bardolf's descendants unite with those of John Chandler (b. 1600) in 1700, when Robert Chandler (John's grandson, 1659 - c. 1720) and his wife Elizabeth Palmer (Hugh's 10th great-granddaughter, b. 1664) give birth to Joseph Chandler (11 Aug 1700 - 11 Oct 1764), Chris' 6th great-grandparent, in {{w|New Kent, Virginia}}.

A stark contrast can be observed in the fact that Hugh's first child is the ancestor of prestigious nobility (namely an Anne Boleyn and actual queen of England, Elizabeth I), while Hugh's fourth and last child is the ancestor of our infamous protagonist.

== Dixiechus ==
"'''Dixiechus'''" is a nickname used by Christorians to describe ancestors of Chris who fought for the {{w|Confederate States of America}} during the {{w|American Civil War}}. It is a portmanteau of ''{{w|Dixie}}'' and ''[[Sonichu]]''. The first Dixiechu to be identified was Joseph Chandler, discovered by Kiwifarms user Meat Pickle on 20 December 2021. The term "Dixiechu" was proposed on the [[Official CWCki Server]] on 24 April 2024, by which point four Dixiechus had been identified.

During the [[Jail Saga]], Chris was asked if he may have had ancestors who fought for the Confederacy, at a time when Joseph Chandler (on his father's side) was the only known Dixiechu. In [[Jail Letter - 25 May 2022]], he denied that his father's ancestors had fought for the Confederacy, but conceded that his mother's ancestors may have done so. In 2024, Christorians discovered William Drury Thompson - a Dixiechu on the maternal side of Chris' ancestry - partially vindicating Chris' statement.

As of 2026, Christorians have identified 6 Dixiechus. Half are known to have been wounded during the war. 2 hailed from Alabama, 2 from North Carolina, 1 from South Carolina, and 1 from Mississippi. Though [[Virginia]] was both the Confederacy's most populous state and stands as Chris' place or origin, it is not known to have spawned any Dixiechus.

A total of 1,082,119 people served the {{w|Confederate States Army}} during the civil war.<ref>https://www.battlefields.org/learn/articles/civil-war-facts</ref> Anecdotal evidence suggests that half of modern-day southerners have ancestors who fought for the Confederacy.<ref>There is no large-scale study of Confederate ancestry to the knowledge of this wiki, but genealogists familiar with this area tend to estimate a ballpark of 40-55%.[https://pastexplore.wordpress.com/2015/05/13/okay-so-you-have-civil-war-ancestors/][https://www.quora.com/What-percentage-of-todays-southern-US-population-actually-have-ancestors-who-fought-for-the-confederacy]</ref> In this light, Chris' Confederate heritage should be seen as reflecting the norm rather than his own eccentricity.

In chronological order from most to least recent death, the Dixiechus include:

=== Joseph Chandler ===
[[File:Joseph chandler.png|thumb|right|150px|Joseph Chandler in 1911]]
'''Joseph Chandler''' (14 April 1832 - January 1925) of {{w|Autauga County, Alabama}} is Chris's great-great-grandfather along his paternal line. Joseph Chandler enlisted in the Confederate Army as a private in May 1862. Serving in the unit {{w|38th Alabama Infantry Regiment}} at {{w|Fort Gaines, Alabama|Fort Gaines}}, he fought in the {{w|Battle of Mobile Bay}} before being paroled in April 1865 after the conclusion of the war and was later discharged in August of that year due to broken shoulder.<ref>[https://kiwifarms.net/threads/random-thoughts-questions.49854/page-1487#post-10736839 A Kiwi Farms post with a record of Joseph Chandler]</ref><ref>https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/search-soldiers-detail.htm?soldierId=0AA5818C-DC7A-DF11-BF36-B8AC6F5D926A</ref> Joseph's professions after the war were farmer, shoe maker and largely a herb doctor.<ref>http://alagenealogy.com/Patriarchs/Chandler,%20Sidney%20Smith.htm#JOSEPH%20H.2%20CHANDLER</ref>

Joseph also had a younger brother Edmund (1835 - 1865, Chris's great-great-granduncle), who also fought for the Confederacy at [https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Camp_of_Instruction,_Talladega,_Alabama#:~:text=Talladega%20was%20one%20of%20two,would%20be%20obliged%20to%20enroll.| Camp of Instruction, Talladega, Alabama], died as a result during the war in 1865.<ref>https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/search-soldiers-detail.htm?soldierId=C3A5818C-DC7A-DF11-BF36-B8AC6F5D926A</ref> Joseph's two younger sons John (1876 - 1932) and Rufus (1880 - 1932), both were killed on March 21, 1932 in {{w|Chilton County, Alabama|Chilton County area}}, from the {{w|1932 Deep South tornado outbreak}}.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/106731994/john-tyler_morgan-chandler</ref><ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26986157/rufus-sidney-chandler</ref>

=== Caleb Nelson Headley ===
[[File:CalebHeadley.png|thumb|right|150px|Caleb Headley]]

'''Caleb Nelson Headley''' (1847-1921) was born on the 8th of March 1845 (1846 or 1847 depending on which source) in Darlington County, South Carolina as the only son of Wills Headley and Rebecca Bell, Caleb's father Wills died when he was just 7 years old in 1854, and he was soon taken into the custody of James Huckabee (who would later become his stepfather), who taught the boy farming until he was 21 years old.

In 1863 when he was just 18 years old, he enlisted in the Confederate Army as part of the 63rd Alabama Regiment, Company H (They were also known as Second Alabama Reserve), he took part in fighting in Spanish Fort (he was wounded) and was discharged at his home (he was on furlough at the time) in May of 1865.

Shortly after the end of the war, he settled in Coosa County Alabama, in 1874 he married Caroline Louisa Estes when he was 28 and she was 24 at her father's house in Talladega, Alabama, He would have 8 children from 1874 to 1892 including Martha Headley (Bob's paternal grandmother), Caleb was a farmer for most of his life, in 1898 he attempted to run for a political seat in Alabama State Assembly as a Representative for Chilton County as independent but withdraw and then backed the Populist ticket for that seat.

Caleb would see his health worsen in his later years, he became nearly blind by his late 60s and by 1920 was living with his son Robert E. L Headley. He died on August 21st, 1921 in Shelby County, Alabama at age of 76.

=== William Teer ===
[[File:Willam Teer.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Image of William Teer. (Very likely to be authentic) <ref>This image was uploaded to findagrave in 2016; William Teer was not known to Christorians to be Chris' ancestor in 2016. Family trees from both 2017[https://sonichu.com/cwcki/File:Chris%27s_family_tree_up_to_his_great_great_grandparents.png] and 2019[https://imgur.com/gallery/0BgQLyH] omit the ancestry of Bob's maternal grandmother. Furthermore, his biography on rootsweb uses a similar image.[https://freepages.rootsweb.com/~dougmay/genealogy/Wmteer.htm]</ref>]]
Bob's matrilineal great-grandfather, '''Dr. William Teer''' (March 29, 1837 - October 19, 1919), was born in {{w|Neshoba County, Mississippi}}, and grew up in {{w|Angelina County, Texas}} since he was 10 years old with his seven siblings. The family later relocated to {{w|Hopkins County, Texas|Hopkins County}} outside {{w|Cumby, Texas|Cumby}} in 1860, where he worked as a farmer before enlisting in the army for the Civil War.

In October 1861, aged 24, William and his two brothers James (1830 - 1863) and Wiley (1839 - 1862), enlisted in the Confederate Army in San Antonio. Serving in the 4th Texas Cavalry Regiment, William participated in the {{w|New Mexico campaign}} under {{w|Henry Hopkins Sibley|General Sibley}}. Both of his brothers died during the war; James died at a Union prison camp in Williamsburg, Virginia, in 1863. William and Wiley fought in the battles of {{w|Battle of Valverde|Valverde}} and later to {{w|Battle of Glorietta Pass|Glorietta Pass}}, where in April 1862, Wiley was reportedly "lost or killed" and William suffered serious injuries, including a shattered right arm, a damaged spleen, and later contracting hepatitis (It might be worth reflecting how close Teer was to dying at this point - a slightly different outcome could have prevented all of Christory a century before it began). After the capture of Texas Army's supply wagons by the US Army, they retreated, leaving William and other recovering soldiers at the {{w|Santa Fe, New Mexico|Santa Fe}} hospital before shortly being captured. He was later paroled in May 1862, returning to San Antonio. Due to his injuries and disability, he was honorably discharged from his unit by General {{w|Thomas Green (general)|Thomas Green}} in September 1863 and returned to his home in Cumby, working as a farmer despite his shattered right arm.

William was married four times throughout his life. In December 1862, he married Mary Frances Carraway of Alabama, who passed away in 1867. He then remarried Louisa Frances Spears of Tennesse, in 1868, but that marriage also ended early. In January 1871, he married Nancy Jane Coburn of {{w|Ashley County, Arkansas}}. From this marriage, he had seven children, including Mary Francis Teer, Bob's maternal grandmother and the wife of John James Hollomon. After Nancy's death in 1894, William remarried to Bettie King of {{w|Mount Pleasant, Texas|Mount Pleasant}} in March 1907 at age 70, and this marriage lasted until his death in 1919.

In November 1903, inspired by the nerve damage in his shattered right arm, William established himself as an {{w|osteopath}} doctor in {{w|Tyler, Texas}}, specializing in "Exophthalmic Goitre, Biliary Calculi (Gall Stones) Paralysis, and all Nervous Diseases." He became the president of the State Association of Drugless Doctors of Texas and advocated massaging and other holistic approaches to wellness. As a doctor in Tyler, he was described as a highly respected figure, endorsed by many prominent members of the city's society. After retiring, he resided at the Texas Confederate Home in Austin before moving back to Cumby in 1918, where he later passed away in October 1919 at his youngest daughter's {{w|Miller Grove, Texas|Miller Grove}} home caused by a second paralyzing stroke.

William was mentioned in a book titled "[https://archive.org/details/texanswhoworegra00john| Texans who Wore the Gray (1907)]", written by a Confederate officer, journalist, and author Sidney Smith Johnson (1840-1910). Johnson described William as "a brave Confederate soldier, a man of fine education, and a Christian gentleman."

=== Garnder E. Shearin ===
'''Garnder E. Shearin'''' (1836/1837 - 28 January 1901)<ref>https://digital.ncdcr.gov/Documents/Detail/shearin-gardner-e.-warren-county/1671784</ref><ref>https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-warren-record-gardner-early-shearin/521312/</ref> was a Confederate veteran from North Carolina. He married Martha in 1859. In May 1861, he enlisted in the Confederate army in Warren County, North Carolina, fighting in company B of North Carolina's 30th infantry regiment remaining in service until the end of the war in 1865.

An obituary to him reads: "I was not with him in the army but learned from others, that he was a faithful soldier. My association with him since the war enables me to say I never knew a kinder hearted or monre congenial natured man. Always ready to serve a friend."

He is ancestor of Chris via Barb's side of his ancestry.

=== Rufus Walker ===

'''Rufus Walker''' (1820-1895) was a Confederate soldier who served in Company H and came from Milton, Alabama, located in Autauga County. He became a prisoner of war after being surrendered by Lieutenant General Richard Taylor to Major E.R.S. Canby on May 4, 1865. Rufus was later paroled in Selma in June 1865.<ref>https://38thalabama.com/ndashv-to-zndash.html</ref>

He is Chris' great-great-great-grandfather, with the lineage as follows: Rufus Walker (1820-1895) > Mary Elizabeth Walker (1840-1887) > Joseph Chandler (1871-1947) > Robert F. Chandler Sr. (1906-1977) > Robert ("[[Bob]]") F. Chandler Jr. (1927-2011) > Chris

=== William Drury Thompson ===
'''William Drury Thompson''' (1814 - 17 May 1862) was a civil war enlistee from North Carolina, although it's unknown which side of the military force, (although there's a record suggesting he's a Confederate enlistee for North Carolina's Infantry 12th Regiment), died during his basic training in Richmond, Virginia due to illnesses, 2 months after enlisting.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/262604729/william-drury-thompson</ref>

He is Chris' great-great-great-grandfather. More specifically, he is the paternal grandfather of the maternal grandmother of Barbara.

==Ancestry.com content==
In [[January 2017]], a distant relative of Chris posted images to Kiwi Farms, on various documents relating to the Chandler family, acquired from Ancestry.com<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/interesting-info-about-chriss-family-particularly-their-parents.27521/</ref>

{{quotebox|Bob is apparently an only child, however Barbara has five deceased siblings and several more living ones.}}
{{quotebox|Most of Chris's ancestors were [[RandomSong1|farmers]], doing tasks that Chris would find back breaking.}}
{{quotebox|Chris, from what I gathered, is not 1/16 Cherokian. He is however 1/16 British and 1/8 French Canadian.}}
{{quotebox|His great great grandparent's from Northern Ireland.}}
The "Northern Irish" ancestor was Chris's great-great-grandmother Mary Weston (née McClintic, 31 Oct 1834 - 25 Dec 1910). Mary was born in the town of {{w|Omagh}} (whose name means "the [[Virgin with Rage|virgin]] plain" in Gaelic) in County Tyrone, in what is today {{w|Northern Ireland}}. She came to the United States between 1840 and 1850, likely as a result of the {{w|Irish Potato Famine}}.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/22502739/joseph-mcclintock</ref> She settled in Augusta, Ohio, where she married Joseph "John" Edward Weston, Chris's great-great-grandfather, in 1858, who was also from Augusta. Both later settled in {{w|Clarksville, Virginia}}.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/24279732/mary-weston</ref>

The "French Canadian" ancestor was Chris's great-grandmother Sarah Ann Weston (née {{w|Clan Hamilton|Hamilton}}, Apr 1867 - 25 Jan 1938), who was born in [[wikipedia:Huntingdon, Quebec|Huntingdon]], {{w|Quebec}} and came to Virginia with her family during the 1870s, settling near Red Oak.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/35318370/sarah-jane-weston</ref><ref>https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/6823228286:62476</ref> Although the majority of Quebeckers speak French, her surname and the fact that she was born in a predominantly English-speaking part of Quebec suggest that she belonged to the province's English-speaking minority. Moreover, her paternal and maternal grandparents were all born in [[Tito Got No Luck Against We Brits, Irish and Scots!|Scotland]], making her of entirely Scottish descent.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/249266361/jane-hamilton</ref><ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/249027191/daniel-hamilton</ref> Sarah is Chris's most recent immigrant ancestor.

Chris's ideas about his ancestry and lineage unsurprisingly differ greatly from what is known to be true.

Family members who live(d) after Chris was born can be found at [[Minor Family Members]].

==What Chris Actually Believes==

== Notable ancestors ==
This section lists Chris' ancestors in chronological order from most to least recent death. Ancestors who fought for the Confederate States of America are listed separately, in the "Dixiechus" section.

=== Robert Wynn ===
Barbara's maternal grandfather '''Robert Pettus Wynn''' (17 Nov 1882 - 20 Jan 1954) was allegedly a two-timing [[Alcohol|drunk]] and moonshiner who "failed to provide even the most basic support for his wife and children".<ref>http://www.harveypowers.com/genealogy/roots/individual.html#118</ref> In his death certificate, his profession is given as [[tobacco]] farmer.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/238604751/robert-pettis-wynn</ref>

=== John James Hollomon ===
[[File:John James Hollomon.jpg|thumb|right|150px|John James Hollomon in 1910]]
Bob's maternal grandfather '''John James Hollomon''' (3 May 1868 - 16 Mar 1950) <ref>[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/10638068/john-james-hollomon]</ref> was born in {{w|Meigs County, Tennessee}} but lived most of his later life in {{w|Wylie, Texas}}, a city and suburb in {{w|Collin County, Texas|Collin County}} and {{w|Dallas}} respectively. He was a well-known local pharmacist in the Collin county for over 50 years. He married twice in his life, first to Mary Francis Hollomon (née Teer 10th March 1872 - 3 Jul 1914), the daughter of a doctor specializing in osteopathic, whom he had 4 children including Jean Hollomon, Bob's mother. In 1915 he married Helen E. Hollomon (née Nelms 10 Apr 1893 - 29 Oct 1972) with whom he had 3 more children including Bob's half uncle Dr. John James "JJ" Hollomon Jr (1917-1992). Bob reminisces that Hollomon gave him a straight razor "by means of [Hollomon's] last will and testament," and Bob instead broke it while using it as a screwdriver, which he later held onto this regret for decades well into his 60s because he believed Hollomon wanted him to have it as a personal item and value.

Notable enough, his father was an Esquire John Richmond Hollomon (1831 - 1899), a lawyer and attorney in the Meigs County area.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/70362078/susanna-brady#:~:text=of%20her%20son%2C-,J.R.%20Hollomon%20Esq.,-of%20this%20county</ref> More notable enough, his grandfather Pleasant Hollomon (1803 - 1865), served in the {{w|Tennessee House of Representatives}} in the Meigs and {{w|Rhea County, Tennessee|Rhea}} counties from 1849 to 1851. A democrat, he was a constable of the 5th Civil district of Meigs county in 1836-1839, was a deputy sheriff of Meigs in early 1840s and a deputy and tax collector in 1845.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/70361465/pleasant-hollomon</ref>

===Rev. Sidney Smith Chandler===
'''The Reverend Sidney Smith Chandler''' (1805 - September 1866) was a Baptist minister and clergyman in Alabama. He is Chris's great-great-great grandfather along his paternal line. Born in Georgia, his father died in 1816 when he was 11. He moved to Alabama in 1829 and became a Primitive Baptist Clergyman and Minster in Autauga County. He also was a slaveowner, owning one female slave in the 1850 slave census.

He later married Mary Lucinda Walker and later fathered 12 children, including Joseph and his brother Edmund. He died in September of 1866 just shortly after the end of the American Civil War. Two of his sons, James (1830-1862) and Edmund (1835-1865) would die fighting in the Civil War.

===Francis Weston===
'''Francis Weston Sr.''' (Feb 1793 - 19 March 1838) was an English-born immigrant to the United States and a frontiersmen. He is Barbara's great-great-grandfather along her paternal line, making him Chris's maternal great-great-great-grandfather.

Born in {{w|Derbyshire}}, he had immigrated to [[Ohio]] by 1820 and married at {{w|Wheeling, West Virginia}} a year later to Grace Moore, an English-born American, whose parents were also an immigrants from Derbyshire. They had six out of seven children survived, the second oldest being Mary Ann Weston in 1825 and the youngest Joseph Edward "John" Weston in July 1836,<ref>[https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-6Q23-PTF?i=2&cc=1401638&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AMXSB-9Q8 Joseph (listed as Edward Weston) with his three older siblings and mother Gracy in 1850 census)]</ref><ref>[https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-9BS6-DF?i=8&cc=1473181&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AMCPH-V55 Gracy Weston (Joseph's mother) in 1860 census with her son Francis]</ref> all in {{w|Augusta Township, Carroll County, Ohio|Augusta Township}}. Through Joseph, Francis's surname would be carried on to [[Barbara]], which, in turn, would serve as the basis for [[Chris|our hero]]'s middle name.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/118642485/francis-weston</ref>

According to newspapers, After immigrating to Augusta Township, Francis, a frontiersmen, built a homestead house of his and his family in a wilderness place with 2 other families surrounded by wild animals and forest. The homestead house was a shanty with puncheon floor and chimney made with sticks and clay. They mentioned about the one occasion Francis was chased by wolves in a forest when coming home from buying fresh meats. Francis would pass away at age 45 in March 1838, 2 years after his youngest son Joseph was born.

In a later pseudo-historical account of events by Barbara and Chris, Francis is replaced by a certain [[Daniel Weston]]. Unlike the historical Francis Weston, ''Daniel'' Weston travelled to North America in 1620 (a whole 2 centuries earlier than Francis), and has the honor of being of a descendant of [[Anne Boleyn]] (whose {{w|Elizabeth I|only daughter}} died childless).

Francis' son, Francis Weston Jr, according to newspapers, was a "popular" and successful businessman and general merchant, owning iron and furnace company, and many other successful companies at Ohio, West Virginia and Missouri with a college education to his name. Through his daughter Jane, Francis Sr is the grandfather of {{w|Pierce County, Washington}}'s Superior Court judge & attorney William Oscar Chapman, who at the time of admitting to {{w|Ohio State Bar Association|Ohio bar}}, was in the same group of applicants with a later president of the United States {{w|William Howard Taft}}.

=== Captain Joseph Looney ===
Joseph Lewellyn Looney (abt.1740-1816) fought in the {{w|American Revolutionary War}} on the Patriot side. He fought in the {{w|Battle of Guilford Court House}} under major general [[Nathanael Greene Elementary School|Nathanael Greene]].<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Looney-149</ref>

=== Polly Bowman ===
{{main|Ancient leader of the Cherokee Clan}}
Chris has at least one [[Cherokee]] ancestor, about whom he absolutely knows nothing. The ancestor was introduced in ''[[Sonichu 2|Sonichu #2]]'', which was completed on 3 May 2005. The ancestor was long assumed to be nonexistent, but on 16 January 2025 - 19 years and 8 months later - the ancestor was discovered to be real by CWCki editor [[User:Cilria2|Cilria2]]. '''Polly Bowman "Cherokee Mother" Cherokee''' (abt 1703 to 1790) is Chris's 7th great-grandmother.

=== John Chandler and Elizabeth Lupo ===
Although there is no evidence that his mother's ancestors were on board the ''Mayflower'', Chris's paternal ancestors were among the first settlers of his home state of Virginia. Chris's direct male ancestor '''John Chandler''' (c. 1600-1657), a native of London, was an early settler of {{w|Jamestown, Virginia|Jamestown}}, [[Virginia]], arriving in 1610 with a boat ''Hercules'', ten years before the ''Mayflower''.<ref>https://www.geni.com/people/John-Chandler-l/6000000008639070482</ref> John married the widow '''Elizabeth Lupo''' (née '''Bassano'''), a member of the illustrious {{w|Jeronimo Bassano|Bassano family}} of [[music|musicians]] who had been recruited from Venice by {{w|King Henry VIII}} to serve in his court (some have claimed that the Bassanos were of [[Michael Snyder|Jewish]] origin, but the jury is out). The Chandler family migrated southwest over the generations, passing through North Carolina and Georgia before settling in Alabama, Bob's home state.

John Chandler is the fifth great-grandfather of the Dixiechu Joseph Chandler, and the ninth great-grandfather of Chris.

===Richard Baker===
{{w|Richard Baker (chronicler)|Richard Baker}} (c. 1568 – 18 February 1645) was a politician, historian and religious writer. He was the English author of the ''Chronicle of the Kings of England'' and other works.

He is the 12th great-grandfather of Chris on Bob's mother side.

===Edward, Thomas Palmer & Thomas Overbury===
Thanks to John Chandler's grandson's wife Elizabeth Palmer, Chris's 7th great-grandmother, some Christorians did research about her ancestors. Chris has three known ancestors, two of which are Chris descendent of, and other is distantly related.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-2791</ref><ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-533</ref><ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-229</ref>

Chris is a descendant of his 10th great-grandfather '''{{w|Edward Palmer (d.1624)|Edward Palmer}}''' (c. 1555–1624) from {{w|Gloucestershire}}, England, a gentleman with antiquarian interests who was known for his [[Stamps|extensive collections]] such as Roman coins and is best remembered for purchasing the then unnamed {{w|Garrett Island}} in colony of Virginia (now Maryland) for his plan of establishing university at the island.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-544</ref>

Edward had a son whom Chris is also descendant from. '''{{w|Thomas Palmer (burgess)|Thomas Palmer}}''' settled at Jamestown, Virginia on a boat ''Tyger'' with his wife Joan Jordan and 11 years old daughter Priscilla in November 1621. Shortly after their arrival at Jamestown, the Palmers were nearly killed by the [[Cherokian Clan|Powhatans]] during the {{w|Indian massacre of 1622}}, but survived by living in {{w|Jordan Point, Virginia#Jordan's Journey: Beggars Bush|Jordan's Journey}} shelter residence. Thomas was a captain in command of a company of militia from {{w|Eppes Island|Shirley Hundred Island}} and was a member of {{w|House of Burgesses}} at Jamestown on October 16, 1629.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-229</ref>

Perhaps notably, Thomas was a first cousin of [[Chris_and_writing#Chris_as_a_poet_and_lyricist|poet]] and [[Chris_and_writing#Chris_as_an_essayist|essayist]] '''{{w|Thomas Overbury}}''' through his father's sister Mary Palmer and her husband {{w|Nicholas Overbury}}. Overbury was known for his poem, ''A Wife'', and a victim of murder by poisoning which led to a scandalous trial.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Overbury-10</ref>

=== Sir James Croft ===
Sir {{w|James Croft}} (1518- 4 September 1590) was English politician, who was Lord Deputy of Ireland, and MP for Herefordshire in the Parliament of England, He is Chris 12th great-grandfather on his paternal side.

=== Hugh and Isabel Bardolf ===
[[Image:Chris Anne Boleyn.png|thumb|How Chris is related to Anne Boleyn.]]
'''Hugh Bardolf''' (c. 29 September 1259 - c. 20 September 1304) <ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bardolf-9</ref> and '''Isabel Bardolf''' (born '''Isabel Aguillon'''; c. 25 March 1258 - c. 28 May 1323) <ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Aguillon-5</ref>, Chris' 19th great-grandparents, were a medieval English couple who married in 1281. According to a Redditor's Wikitree research in 2022, they are Chris' most recent shared ancestors with [[Anne Boleyn]] (albeit on his father's side, not his mother's): they gave birth to Thomas (Boleyn's 6th great-grandfather) in 1282, Margery around 1283, William in 1284, and Nicola (Chris' 18th great-grandmother) around 1294. This means that, although Chris is not ''descended'' from Anne Boleyn, he is indeed a distant relative. This is hardly surprising, as all humans are relatives of each other of varying distance.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/ChrisChanSonichu/comments/tedhwz/barb_may_not_have_been_related_to_anne_boleyn_but/</ref><ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Aguillon-5</ref>

In addition to being the source of Chris's distant connection with Anne Boleyn, Hugh Bardolf was the first nobleman of {{w|Baron Bardolf}}, a noble title in the {{w|Peerage of England}}. His wife Isabel was a member of the {{w|Aguillon family}} (of French origin), who were feudal landowners in England. Isabel's father, Sir Robert Aguillon (c. 1226 - 15 February 1286)<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Aguillon-4</ref>, was a Sheriff of Surrey & Sussex County and a keeper of two castles in both counties.

Hugh Bardolf's descendants unite with those of John Chandler (b. 1600) in 1700, when Robert Chandler (John's grandson, 1659 - c. 1720) and his wife Elizabeth Palmer (Hugh's 10th great-granddaughter, b. 1664) give birth to Joseph Chandler (11 Aug 1700 - 11 Oct 1764), Chris' 6th great-grandparent, in {{w|New Kent, Virginia}}.

A stark contrast can be observed in the fact that Hugh's first child is the ancestor of prestigious nobility (namely an Anne Boleyn and actual queen of England, Elizabeth I), while Hugh's fourth and last child is the ancestor of our infamous protagonist.

== Dixiechus ==
"'''Dixiechus'''" is a nickname used by Christorians to describe ancestors of Chris who fought for the {{w|Confederate States of America}} during the {{w|American Civil War}}. It is a portmanteau of ''{{w|Dixie}}'' and ''[[Sonichu]]''. The first Dixiechu to be identified was Joseph Chandler, discovered by Kiwifarms user Meat Pickle on 20 December 2021. The term "Dixiechu" was proposed on the [[Official CWCki Server]] on 24 April 2024, by which point four Dixiechus had been identified.

During the [[Jail Saga]], Chris was asked if he may have had ancestors who fought for the Confederacy, at a time when Joseph Chandler (on his father's side) was the only known Dixiechu. In [[Jail Letter - 25 May 2022]], he denied that his father's ancestors had fought for the Confederacy, but conceded that his mother's ancestors may have done so. In 2024, Christorians discovered William Drury Thompson - a Dixiechu on the maternal side of Chris' ancestry - partially vindicating Chris' statement.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that half of modern-day southerners have ancestors who fought for the Confederacy.<ref>There is no large-scale study of Confederate ancestry to the knowledge of this wiki, but genealogists familiar with this area tend to estimate a ballpark of 40-55%.[https://pastexplore.wordpress.com/2015/05/13/okay-so-you-have-civil-war-ancestors/][https://www.quora.com/What-percentage-of-todays-southern-US-population-actually-have-ancestors-who-fought-for-the-confederacy]</ref> In this light, Chris' Confederate heritage should be seen as reflecting the norm rather than his own eccentricity.

In chronological order from most to least recent death, the Dixiechus include:

=== Joseph Chandler ===
[[File:Joseph chandler.png|thumb|right|150px|Joseph Chandler in 1911]]
'''Joseph Chandler''' (14 April 1832 - January 1925) of {{w|Autauga County, Alabama}} is Chris's great-great-grandfather along his paternal line. Joseph Chandler enlisted in the Confederate Army as a private in May 1862. Serving in the unit {{w|38th Alabama Infantry Regiment}} at {{w|Fort Gaines, Alabama|Fort Gaines}}, he fought in the {{w|Battle of Mobile Bay}} before being paroled in April 1865 after the conclusion of the war and was later discharged in August of that year due to broken shoulder.<ref>[https://kiwifarms.net/threads/random-thoughts-questions.49854/page-1487#post-10736839 A Kiwi Farms post with a record of Joseph Chandler]</ref><ref>https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/search-soldiers-detail.htm?soldierId=0AA5818C-DC7A-DF11-BF36-B8AC6F5D926A</ref> Joseph's professions after the war were farmer, shoe maker and largely a herb doctor.<ref>http://alagenealogy.com/Patriarchs/Chandler,%20Sidney%20Smith.htm#JOSEPH%20H.2%20CHANDLER</ref>

Joseph also had a younger brother Edmund (1835 - 1865, Chris's great-great-granduncle), who also fought for the Confederacy at [https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Camp_of_Instruction,_Talladega,_Alabama#:~:text=Talladega%20was%20one%20of%20two,would%20be%20obliged%20to%20enroll.| Camp of Instruction, Talladega, Alabama], died as a result during the war in 1865.<ref>https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/search-soldiers-detail.htm?soldierId=C3A5818C-DC7A-DF11-BF36-B8AC6F5D926A</ref> Joseph's two younger sons John (1876 - 1932) and Rufus (1880 - 1932), both were killed on March 21, 1932 in {{w|Chilton County, Alabama|Chilton County area}}, from the {{w|1932 Deep South tornado outbreak}}.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/106731994/john-tyler_morgan-chandler</ref><ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26986157/rufus-sidney-chandler</ref>

=== Caleb Nelson Headley ===
[[File:CalebHeadley.png|thumb|right|150px|Caleb Headley]]

'''Caleb Nelson Headley''' (1847-1921) was born on the 8th of March 1845 (1846 or 1847 depending on which source) in Darlington County, South Carolina as the only son of Wills Headley and Rebecca Bell, Caleb's father Wills died when he was just 7 years old in 1854, and he was soon taken into the custody of James Huckabee (who would later become his stepfather), who taught the boy farming until he was 21 years old.

In 1863 when he was just 18 years old, he enlisted in the Confederate Army as part of the 63rd Alabama Regiment, Company H (They were also known as Second Alabama Reserve), he took part in fighting in Spanish Fort (he was wounded) and was discharged at his home (he was on furlough at the time) in May of 1865.

Shortly after the end of the war, he settled in Coosa County Alabama, in 1874 he married Caroline Louisa Estes when he was 28 and she was 24 at her father's house in Talladega, Alabama, He would have 8 children from 1874 to 1892 including Martha Headley (Bob's paternal grandmother), Caleb was a farmer for most of his life, in 1898 he attempted to run for a political seat in Alabama State Assembly as a Representative for Chilton County as independent but withdraw and then backed the Populist ticket for that seat.

Caleb would see his health worsen in his later years, he became nearly blind by his late 60s and by 1920 was living with his son Robert E. L Headley. He died on August 21st, 1921 in Shelby County, Alabama at age of 76.

=== William Teer ===
[[File:Willam Teer.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Image of William Teer. (Very likely to be authentic) <ref>This image was uploaded to findagrave in 2016; William Teer was not known to Christorians to be Chris' ancestor in 2016. Family trees from both 2017[https://sonichu.com/cwcki/File:Chris%27s_family_tree_up_to_his_great_great_grandparents.png] and 2019[https://imgur.com/gallery/0BgQLyH] omit the ancestry of Bob's maternal grandmother. Furthermore, his biography on rootsweb uses a similar image.[https://freepages.rootsweb.com/~dougmay/genealogy/Wmteer.htm]</ref>]]
Bob's matrilineal great-grandfather, '''Dr. William Teer''' (March 29, 1837 - October 19, 1919), was born in {{w|Neshoba County, Mississippi}}, and grew up in {{w|Angelina County, Texas}} since he was 10 years old with his seven siblings. The family later relocated to {{w|Hopkins County, Texas|Hopkins County}} outside {{w|Cumby, Texas|Cumby}} in 1860, where he worked as a farmer before enlisting in the army for the Civil War.

In October 1861, aged 24, William and his two brothers James (1830 - 1863) and Wiley (1839 - 1862), enlisted in the Confederate Army in San Antonio. Serving in the 4th Texas Cavalry Regiment, William participated in the {{w|New Mexico campaign}} under {{w|Henry Hopkins Sibley|General Sibley}}. Both of his brothers died during the war; James died at a Union prison camp in Williamsburg, Virginia, in 1863. William and Wiley fought in the battles of {{w|Battle of Valverde|Valverde}} and later to {{w|Battle of Glorietta Pass|Glorietta Pass}}, where in April 1862, Wiley was reportedly "lost or killed" and William suffered serious injuries, including a shattered right arm, a damaged spleen, and later contracting hepatitis (It might be worth reflecting how close Teer was to dying at this point - a slightly different outcome could have prevented all of Christory a century before it began). After the capture of Texas Army's supply wagons by the US Army, they retreated, leaving William and other recovering soldiers at the {{w|Santa Fe, New Mexico|Santa Fe}} hospital before shortly being captured. He was later paroled in May 1862, returning to San Antonio. Due to his injuries and disability, he was honorably discharged from his unit by General {{w|Thomas Green (general)|Thomas Green}} in September 1863 and returned to his home in Cumby, working as a farmer despite his shattered right arm.

William was married four times throughout his life. In December 1862, he married Mary Frances Carraway of Alabama, who passed away in 1867. He then remarried Louisa Frances Spears of Tennesse, in 1868, but that marriage also ended early. In January 1871, he married Nancy Jane Coburn of {{w|Ashley County, Arkansas}}. From this marriage, he had seven children, including Mary Francis Teer, Bob's maternal grandmother and the wife of John James Hollomon. After Nancy's death in 1894, William remarried to Bettie King of {{w|Mount Pleasant, Texas|Mount Pleasant}} in March 1907 at age 70, and this marriage lasted until his death in 1919.

In November 1903, inspired by the nerve damage in his shattered right arm, William established himself as an {{w|osteopath}} doctor in {{w|Tyler, Texas}}, specializing in "Exophthalmic Goitre, Biliary Calculi (Gall Stones) Paralysis, and all Nervous Diseases." He became the president of the State Association of Drugless Doctors of Texas and advocated massaging and other holistic approaches to wellness. As a doctor in Tyler, he was described as a highly respected figure, endorsed by many prominent members of the city's society. After retiring, he resided at the Texas Confederate Home in Austin before moving back to Cumby in 1918, where he later passed away in October 1919 at his youngest daughter's {{w|Miller Grove, Texas|Miller Grove}} home caused by a second paralyzing stroke.

William was mentioned in a book titled "[https://archive.org/details/texanswhoworegra00john| Texans who Wore the Gray (1907)]", written by a Confederate officer, journalist, and author Sidney Smith Johnson (1840-1910). Johnson described William as "a brave Confederate soldier, a man of fine education, and a Christian gentleman."

=== Garnder E. Shearin ===
'''Garnder E. Shearin'''' (1836/1837 - 28 January 1901)<ref>https://digital.ncdcr.gov/Documents/Detail/shearin-gardner-e.-warren-county/1671784</ref><ref>https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-warren-record-gardner-early-shearin/521312/</ref> was a Confederate veteran from North Carolina. He married Martha in 1859. In May 1861, he enlisted in the Confederate army in Warren County, North Carolina, fighting in company B of North Carolina's 30th infantry regiment remaining in service until the end of the war in 1865.

An obituary to him reads: "I was not with him in the army but learned from others, that he was a faithful soldier. My association with him since the war enables me to say I never knew a kinder hearted or monre congenial natured man. Always ready to serve a friend."

He is ancestor of Chris via Barb's side of his ancestry.

=== Rufus Walker ===

'''Rufus Walker''' (1820-1895) was a Confederate soldier who served in Company H and came from Milton, Alabama, located in Autauga County. He became a prisoner of war after being surrendered by Lieutenant General Richard Taylor to Major E.R.S. Canby on May 4, 1865. Rufus was later paroled in Selma in June 1865.<ref>https://38thalabama.com/ndashv-to-zndash.html</ref>

He is Chris' great-great-great-grandfather, with the lineage as follows: Rufus Walker (1820-1895) > Mary Elizabeth Walker (1840-1887) > Joseph Chandler (1871-1947) > Robert F. Chandler Sr. (1906-1977) > Robert ("[[Bob]]") F. Chandler Jr. (1927-2011) > Chris

=== William Drury Thompson ===
'''William Drury Thompson''' (1814 - 17 May 1862) was a civil war enlistee from North Carolina, although it's unknown which side of the military force, (although there's a record suggesting he's a Confederate enlistee for North Carolina's Infantry 12th Regiment), died during his basic training in Richmond, Virginia due to illnesses, 2 months after enlisting.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/262604729/william-drury-thompson</ref>

He is Chris' great-great-great-grandfather. More specifically, he is the paternal grandfather of the maternal grandmother of Barbara.

==Ancestry.com content==
In [[January 2017]], a distant relative of Chris posted images to Kiwi Farms, on various documents relating to the Chandler family, acquired from Ancestry.com<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/interesting-info-about-chriss-family-particularly-their-parents.27521/</ref>

{{quotebox|Bob is apparently an only child, however Barbara has five deceased siblings and several more living ones.}}
{{quotebox|Most of Chris's ancestors were [[RandomSong1|farmers]], doing tasks that Chris would find back breaking.}}
{{quotebox|Chris, from what I gathered, is not 1/16 Cherokian. He is however 1/16 British and 1/8 French Canadian.}}
{{quotebox|His great great grandparent's from Northern Ireland.}}
The "Northern Irish" ancestor was Chris's great-great-grandmother Mary Weston (née McClintic, 31 Oct 1834 - 25 Dec 1910). Mary was born in the town of {{w|Omagh}} (whose name means "the [[Virgin with Rage|virgin]] plain" in Gaelic) in County Tyrone, in what is today {{w|Northern Ireland}}. She came to the United States between 1840 and 1850, likely as a result of the {{w|Irish Potato Famine}}.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/22502739/joseph-mcclintock</ref> She settled in Augusta, Ohio, where she married Joseph "John" Edward Weston, Chris's great-great-grandfather, in 1858, who was also from Augusta. Both later settled in {{w|Clarksville, Virginia}}.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/24279732/mary-weston</ref>

The "French Canadian" ancestor was Chris's great-grandmother Sarah Ann Weston (née {{w|Clan Hamilton|Hamilton}}, Apr 1867 - 25 Jan 1938), who was born in [[wikipedia:Huntingdon, Quebec|Huntingdon]], {{w|Quebec}} and came to Virginia with her family during the 1870s, settling near Red Oak.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/35318370/sarah-jane-weston</ref><ref>https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/6823228286:62476</ref> Although the majority of Quebeckers speak French, her surname and the fact that she was born in a predominantly English-speaking part of Quebec suggest that she belonged to the province's English-speaking minority. Moreover, her paternal and maternal grandparents were all born in [[Tito Got No Luck Against We Brits, Irish and Scots!|Scotland]], making her of entirely Scottish descent.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/249266361/jane-hamilton</ref><ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/249027191/daniel-hamilton</ref> Sarah is Chris's most recent immigrant ancestor.

Speaking Akashic

2025-11-08T11:31:52Z

Mangolover887: /* Analysis */

{{quote|Everything is up for interpretation, and only those who are authentically psychic, spiritual vastly connected and metaphysical can translate it so. And once it is spoken, it is erased from the speaker's conscious memory, like an obscure [[dream]]'s details.

[[Autism#Chris on Neurotypicality|Not many neurotypical individuals can get it]].|[[September 2025 social media posts#Why Chris is just playing with toys instead of teaching us about the Merge|Chris, shortly after posting the video]].}}

'''Speaking Akashic''' is a video uploaded to Chris's [[YouTube]] channel on 24 [[September 2025]]. It consists entirely of Chris babbling in incomprehensible spiritual nonsense (for a change). According to Chris, this gibberish is actually the "[[Akashic Records|Akashic]]" language, a supposed lost language that he started to believe he could speak [[Jail Saga|when he went to jail]]. The speech could be described as a form of [[wikipedia:glossolalia|glossolalia]].

===Description===
{{quotebox|This was me feeling fatigued, but I was really connected and spoke verbally in the moment. Any authentic, vastly connected and powerful psychic, spiritual, metaphysical individual can translate or understand it.}}

==Transcript==
[''Chris is sitting in his room. His green screen is enabled and is set to an image of the [[October 2023 social media posts#Roman Colosseum|Royal Albert Hall]]. Chris [[Creepy stare|stares]] into the camera and begins to talk, slurring his words in an exaggerated manner.'']

Okay, to anybody that gets this... At this moment, I have been without caffeine the entire day and my brain is very... very much connected with [[CWC Update 9 April 2009|the cosmos]] and everything. You look into my eye, into my pupil. As you can see, they're small. And essentially, [''Chris speaks in gibberish for about 108 seconds before briefly making a loud humming noise, then uttering one last gibberish remark before ending the video.'']

==Analysis==
In this video, Chris believes he is speaking an otherwordly language, which he calls "Akashic". Chris has earlier claimed to have access to the [[wikipedia:Akashic records|Akashic records]], a compendium of all past and future events believed to exist by [[Theosophy|theosophists]]. "Akashic" (the Sanskrit word for "aether", "sky", or "atmosphere") does not denote a ''language'' within Theosophy, but Chris seems to believe some sort of otherworldly Akashic language exists regardless.

In reality, Chris is speaking a form of [[wikipedia:glossolalia|glossolalia]]. In scientific terms, this is really just activating the region of your brain used for speaking, pacing and organizing speech without activating the ones relating to language, and essentially letting your speech rhythms operate by themselves. When glossolalia speakers discover their ability to do this, they may think that it's an alien or otherwordly language because it ''feels'' like language when you're speaking it. However, it does not actually contain meaningful information.

[[Christian Weston Chandler|Chris]] has at least one '''Cherokee ancestor''', about whom he absolutely knows nothing.<ref>[[War Paint Video]]</ref> When Chris was making the early issues of the [[Sonichu (comic)|''Sonichu'' comic]], he decided to establish a backstory for why he had the power to transform into a [[Chris-Chan Sonichu|super powered fursona]]. He hit the [[wigwam]], and eventually came up with an "[[Anchuent Prophecy|ancient Native American prophecy]]" as his explanation. This gave him the opportunity to talk about his alleged cultural background in the comic. Being that he knew nothing about real Cherokee (and even less about his ancestor specifically) he instead decided to just make up his own version of the Cherokee and his ancestor, and assumed it was true to life.

This lead to the creation of the bizarre "[[Cherokian Clan]]" featured in the ''Sonichu'' comic. Since Chris was making up the whole thing, he also declared his <s>fictional</s> ancestor to be the [[Chris and his ego|leader of the entire Cherokee Nation]].

Chris's Cherokee ancestor was introduced in ''[[Sonichu 2|Sonichu #2]]'', which was completed on 3 May 2005. The ancestor was long assumed to be nonexistent, but on 16 January 2025 - 19 years and 8 months later - the ancestor was discovered to be real by CWCki editor [[User:Cilria2|Cilria2]]. '''Polly "Cherokee Mother" Cherokee''' (c. 1703 to 1790) is Chris's 7th great-grandmother.

== Character ==
It is explained that the Cherokee and [[Wasabi Clan|Wasabi]] clans were at war in the ancient past over both the [[Cherokian Crown]] and the [[Queen of the Cherokian Clan]], the Ancestor's wife. However, the two clans would later ally to fight off [[Count Graduon]], a new evil who first came to power around that time. They sealed him away, but their power of prophecy told them that he would come back one day. They then set up safeguards, such as the transformation powers, so that the three of them (the Leader, the Queen and the [[Wasabi Rival]]) could eventually destroy him in present day [[CWCville]]. Hundreds of years later, the king of the Cherokee Clan would be reincarnated as [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|Christian Weston Chandler]]. His present day self would go on to fulfill the prophecy with his queen and rival, guided by an avatar of his ancient alter ego.

The character is never given a name, and so Chris only ever refers to him as "Ancestor."

== Role in the comics ==
=== [[Sonichu 2#Episode 7: Sonichu in "Anchuent Prophecy"|Sonichu in "Anchuent Prophecy"]] ===
The Ancient leader appeared only very briefly in Episode 7 of ''Sonichu #2''. His only purpose here is to explain to Chris that he is his reincarnation, tell him the evil [[Count Graduon]] is coming back, and ask if he's a bad enough dude to stop him. Chris gets his powers then and there and pisses off to go train with Sonichu.

=== [[Sonichu 4#Sub-Episode 5: Christian Chandler in "McAttack Part 2"|Christian Chandler in "McAttack Part 2"]] ===
The Ancestor appears once again in ''Sonichu #4'', acting as the resident Deus Ex Machina in Sub-Episode 5 of that issue. He randomly pops into Chris's head as he's getting the shit kicked out of him by [[W-M-Manajerk]], and tells Chris that he can use the [[Heart Torch of Fail]] to bring his imaginary twin sister, [[Crystal Weston Chandler (sister)|Crystal Weston Chandler]] into being. Chris does so, and the ancestor dissappears again.

=== [[Sonichu 4#Sub-Episode 8: Christian Chandler in "Off-Target Part 2"|Christian Chandler in "Off-Target Part 2"]] ===
The Ancestor appears one last time in the series after that, in the final Sub-Episode of ''Sonichu #4''. When Chris is about to fight [[Mary Lee Walsh]] at the [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens]], the Ancestor appears in his head to encourage him, telling him to focus and remember all the friends he made during his [[Love Quest]], as if he were a supporting character from a [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|children's anime]] or [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Saturday morning cartoon]].

This tactic fails not due to the realization that Chris's Love Quest has accomplished nothing, but rather because Chris was actually so [[stressed|badly beaten]] by that point that [[Honest|he couldn't even remember a single friend]] he'd made on the Love Quest so far. No, not even his [[Myspace]] friends. The Ancestor then suggests that he call upon the ancestral spirits for a morality boost, and surprisingly, this DOES work. Apparently ancient Native American spirits are interchangeable with [[Care Bears]]. Chris then transforms, beats up an old woman, and the Ancestor disappears into the aether once more, never to be mentioned again.

Given his frequent appearances in Sub-Episodes, it is reasonable to assume that the Ancestor was once meant to be a recurring character, but for one reason or another (perhaps under pressure from his mother), Chris abandoned the concept after he abandoned Sub-Episodes.

==Appearance==
According to the [[Anchuent Prophecy]], Christian is in fact the reincarnation of this figure, which apparently explains the many dreams and visions in which the ancestor reveals new anchuent powers for Christian to use to fight [[Jerkops|mall security]]. As Chris [[Chris and race|didn't care enough]] to research the culture he is allegedly descended from, the ancestor looks absolutely nothing like a genuine Cherokee, being a white child-like man. Judging by the size of his head, he appears to be encephalitic.

Befitting his status as a Native American chieftain, he is always depicted wearing a gold and purple, vaguely Greco-Roman-looking breastplate (with [[Homos|sculpted abs]]) and the coveted [[Cherokian crown]], items of metallurgy that the Cherokee did not possess. All this supports the theory that Chris just knows jack shit about actual Cherokees and their culture.

== Chris and reincarnation ==
Although Chris is said to be the reincarnation of the Ancient leader,<ref>http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Issue_2/Page_5</ref> and several references are made to "previous lives,"<ref>http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Issue_2/Page_11</ref> several factors seem to contradict the idea. For one thing, none of the supposed reincarnations of the ancient Native Americans seem to have any memory of their previous lives after the prophecy is fulfilled, and none of them really seem to see their ancient alter egos as iterations of themselves. Sarah refers to the Ancient leader when told about him by the Queen of the Cherokian Clan as "your husband,"<ref>http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Issue_2/Page_13</ref> even though he should technically be her husband too if she were a reincarnation. Also note that Chris and friends seem to hold actual conversations with the ancient Native Americans, even though they were supposed to be long dead.

tl;dr: Chris probably doesn't know what "reincarnation" means.

== Actual Cherokee ancestor ==
''' Polly Bowman "Cherokee Mother" Cherokee''' (c. 1703 to 1790) was the 7th great-grandmother of Chris and Chris's actual Native American Ancestor. She was the wife of Joshua Odum (1700 to 1745) and had one daughter Melissa Talivia Odum. They married in 1719 ([[Pedofork|when she was 16]]) in {{w|Orangeburg, South Carolina}}. She was born in the Cherokee territory of South Carolina.<ref>https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/GNGQ-97J - imgur screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/bRIRaIb.png</ref>

The line of descent is as follows:

Polly Cherokee (1703 to 1790) - > Melissa Talivia Odum (1720 to unknown) - > Mary Brigman (1755 to 1822) - > Druscilla Dearman (1778 to 1870) - > Curtis Teer (1807 to 1886) - > [[Chandler Family Tree#William Teer|William Teer]] (1837 to 1919) - > Mary Frances Teer (1873 to 1914) - > Jean Hollomon (1906 to 1945) - > [[Robert Franklin Chandler]] Jr (1927 to 2011) - > [[Christian Weston Chandler]] (1982 - present)

This means that Chris is 1/512 Cherokee, or 0.2%. This aligns with the 0.2% Siberian DNA that registered in a [[CWC Ancestry|23andMe]] test (Siberian peoples and Native Americans are closely related genetically).<ref>[[:File:2023ChrisDNATest.png]]</ref> Chris could register as a Cherokee as a documented descendant of a Cherokee – there is no blood quantum requirement.<ref>https://www.doi.gov/tribes/cherokee</ref> However, other online sources dispute the Odom-Cherokee connection; a Wikitree user says "There are no records of any Cherokee women by name until late in the 18th century. [[Love Quest|Interracial marriage was illegal]], so if you have found a marriage record for the couple, the wife was not Native American. The white traders who married Cherokee women lived in the Cherokee Nation with their wives, not in white communities. Joshua Odum and Polly Bowman were married in Burke, N.C. In 1821, not 1741."<ref>https://wikitree.com/g2g/1576188/unsure-legitimacy-native-american-heritage-claims-carolina</ref>

South Carolina banned interracial marriage in 1717,<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-miscegenation_laws_in_the_United_States#Anti-miscegenation_laws_overturned_on_June_12,_1967,_by_Loving_v._Virginia</ref> 2 years before Polly is stated to have married Joshua by familysearch.

'''Kamala Harris''' served as the 49th vice president of the [[United States of America|United States]], part of president [[Joe Biden]]'s administration. Following Biden's decision to suspend his [[2024]] presidential campaign, he endorsed Harris, passing the torch and giving her the momentum to become the Democratic nominee. Harris subsequently ran against [[Pmurt|Donald Trump]] for the presidency.

Unlike [[2020]], when Harris was part of the Biden-Harris ticket, Chris has expressed a greater support for her candidacy, creating multiple campaign signs for her. However, despite this critical political endorsement (or possibly because of it), the Harris-Walz campaign was defeated by Trump-Vance.

==Elections==
[[File:X - Kamala Harris 2024 sign2.jpeg|left|thumb|200px|Chris's art supporting Harris]]
===2020===
For the [[2020]] election, Harris ran a campaign for the presidency, but dropped out and endorsed Biden. Biden later returned the favor by selecting Harris as his candidate for vice president, with the Biden-Harris ticket being solidified at the Democratic National Convention.

Chris acknowledged the duo in [[October 2020]], hoping they would defeat then-incumbent president [[Pmurt|Donald Trump]].<ref>[[October 2020 social media posts#No to Drumpftastic]]</ref> However, he ultimately voted for fictional character Lisa Simpson for reasons tied to the [[Dimensional Merge]], a topic that had captivated his interest over politics, despite his vocal opposition to [[Pmurt|Donald Trump]] and Mike Pence. Biden and Harris would go on to win Virginia regardless of Chris's write-in vote, along with the election as a whole.

===2024===
In the [[2024]] election, Harris ran for the presidency starting in July, opposing Trump, as Biden had dropped out mid-run and endorsed her instead. Following this event, Chris seemed to take more interest in Harris. In [[August 2024]], Chris stated that he planned to vote for Harris that November, and he did a [[tarot]] reading on her.<ref name=augustsupport></ref>

The following month, he posted photos of a hand-drawn sign supporting Harris's run for president, displayed at the [[yard]] of his former residence [[14 Branchland Court]],<ref>[[September 2024 social media posts##KamalaHarris4President2024]]</ref> and he also recorded a livestream reacting to a debate between Harris and Trump.<ref>[[Jesus Christ Chan Reacting to Presidential Debate 2024]]</ref> Chris watched an interview of Harris and Oprah Winfrey which took place on 20 September, and tweeted in agreement with Harris's pro-abortion access stance.<ref>[[October 2024 social media posts#Shall vote for Harris]]</ref> On 2 November, Chris shared more yard artwork in support of Harris and said he would be voting for her that Tuesday, on the official Election Day.<ref>[[November 2024 social media posts#Still voting for Kamala Harris]]</ref> Two days later, he implied that his yard art had either been defaced or stolen.<ref>[[November 2024 social media posts#Crime reminder]]</ref>

November 2009

2025-04-18T10:19:12Z

Mangolover887: /* Events of November 2009 */

'''November''' was the eleventh month of [[2009]]. Chris opened the month with a bang, uploading a [[Twin Falling Towers|staggeringly tone-deaf parody]] of the September 11 terrorist attacks to [[YouTube]] as part of his abortive campaign to blackmail [[Clyde Cash]]. This outrage was soon overshadowed by the total collapse of his relationship with [[Kacey]], as chronicled in a pair of leaked phone calls that showed Chris at his desperate, dishonest, sniveling worst. However, he recovered from these setbacks with aplomb - after acquiring what he believes is an official government seal of approval for [[Sonichu]]'s [[copyright]], Chris once again embarked on his quest to turn the Electric Hedgehog Pokemon into a multimedia empire. Toward the end of the month, Chris began to update the [[comic]] on an almost daily basis and answering the [[Mailbag]] on [[CWCipedia]].

==Events of November 2009==
[[Image:IBA_SoCash.jpg|thumb|On '''3 November 2009''', Chris shows off his new haircut.]]

* '''18 November''' - Christian uploads a new page, with an [http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Issue_9/Page_80 incredibly lame fight scene].

Chris and politics

2025-04-18T10:18:56Z

Mangolover887: /* 2009 */

{{quote|EID, PMURT, EID|[[Chris]]'s biting political commentary on President [[Pmurt|Trump]].}}

[[File:Chris_Chad_Sonichu.jpeg|thumb|right|Chris's political views defy conventional classification.]]

Since his discovery on the Internet through [[2017|2017]], Chris has been quite vocal about his '''political views'''. He was once a moderate and then leaned left. Following his [[transgender|shift in gender identity]] from 2011 onward, he moved further left. His progressing support of the LGBT+ community may have been why he became more vocal about politics.

==General views==
Before the [[2010s]], Chris was a self-described moderate. His views were eclectic – they could best be described as fiscally liberal and socially conservative. He would therefore receive criticism from both sides of the political fence. Liberal [[trolls]] criticized Chris for his [[racism]], [[sexism]], [[homophobia]], and black-and-white view of the world, as well as his poor understanding of science. Conservative trolls criticized him for his lack of a [[job]], reliance on the [[tugboat|government]], unusual behavior, and obscure interests.

After the close of the Classic era, Chris's social views started to shift left, while his fiscal views shifted even further.

===Reasons for Chris's political shift===
====Shift in identity====
Chris's [[transgender]] identity has left him open to political influence from others, particularly as he has begun socializing within the [[SLGBTQ|LGBT]] [[Impulse Gay Social Club|community]] and other generally progressive outlets. He even became accepting of [[homos|gay men]], a group he once vehemently opposed.

====Financial problems====
{{main|Financhu Crisis}}

Chris's deteriorating financial situation, continued dependence on [[Monthly tugboat|government money]], and growing [[Chris and health|health problems]] for himself and his mother have enhanced his sensitivity to social spending and fiscal policy. In particular, one of [[Pmurt]]'s most prominent policy goals was the repeal of the current {{w|Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act|Affordable Care Act}}; while the exact effects of the law on healthcare costs and availability for common people are debatable, it is generally considered at least partly effective. Chris has no doubt heard about Republican repeal efforts from his limited political news exposure, and likely holds them against Trump and his allies.

===Politics in the Trump era and beyond===
[[File:Something Completely Different - A few Transformers Jokes, a.mp400001.png|thumb|left|Chris discussed his political opinions by using toys to role-play a conversation.<ref>[[Something Completely Different - A few Transformers Jokes, also anti-Pmurt]]</ref>]]

Chris voiced criticism of Republican Party presidential nominee Donald Trump throughout 2016; after Trump's surprise victory, he issued outright death threats against President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. After they were inaugurated, he viewed himself as part of the anti-Trump resistance, although he did little aside from post memes and additional messages telling them to die. Chris's interests in [[SLGBTQ|LGBT+ issues]] likely played a role in his attacks on the then-new administration. However, in 2018, under the influence of the [[Idea Guys]], he talked in [[Get Out, You D*** Nazis|a video]] about opposing [[Nazis]], and claimed to be a member of {{w|Antifa (United States)|Antifa}}. He also [[Smashing|destroyed a toy pony]] under the impression that Nazis (a recurring antagonistic presence in the Idea Guys lore) had bugged it. As Chris became more enthralled by the concept of the [[Dimensional Merge]], he generally tuned out of politics as he became more focused on [[Dimensions|alternate dimensions]] and [[Messiah complex|his role in ensuring that cartoons and video games could become real]].

Chris would eventually voice support to Joe Biden's presidential campaign, but he voted for {{w|Lisa Simpson}} in 2020 because [[Chris and reality|he actually believes]] that she will become POTUS after the [[Dimensional Merge]] takes place.<ref>[[Discord Q&A 5#Operation of CWCville's Government]]</ref> While he continued to hate Trump and Pence, the outcome of the election didn't matter to him as much personally due to his belief in the delusion. His belief that Lisa is president presumably takes its influence from ''[[The Simpsons]]'' episode "{{w|Bart to the Future}}," which is set years in the future after she succeeds Donald Trump's then-fictional administration, which substantially increased the national [[debt]] before she took office. However, the events of "Bart to the Future" are not predictive, despite numerous viral videos promoting such misconception: Donald Trump considered running for the job in 1999, one year before the episode aired, and the first of the six bankruptcies to affect his businesses (which the national debt joke referenced) occurred in 1991.<ref>https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/simpsons-predict-trump</ref>

==Views on policy==
Chris's political views resemble a third-grade child's "if I were President" social studies assignment, possessing a shallow understanding of major world issues.

A rather insightful example of his limited understanding of how the world actually works is his video [[A Public Announcement for Congress]], in which Chris explains in detail the actions he would take if elected President of the United States.

One doesn't even need to play the video to know that Chris is full of shit, as the title "A Public Announcement for Congress," contradicts itself. The video is not directed at Congress in any way, but rather is a stump speech directed at the American people. Anyone familiar with Chris's [[Chris and English|unique]] manner of speaking knows that he makes a habit of using fancy-sounding words (to him, at least) to make himself sound more intelligent than he actually is. Since Chris has no idea how to actually use these words, the results often make him sound even more like a total moron.

{{Infobox/video

| shirt = {{BrickFestShirt|text}}
}}

In the video, Chris displays to the world that he has no idea how anything works.

Chris's first 100 days as President would be as follows:
* Use federal funds to create massive government housing complexes in every major city for the homeless.
* Drastically lower the sales tax of the state of Virginia from 5% to 2.5%.
* Not lower "benefits" for retirees.
* Subsidize pharmaceutical costs for retirees.
* Confiscate all firearms owned by civilians.
* Legalize gay marriage in every member state of the United Nations.
* Construct FBI stations to monitor the activities of internet trolls.

Ideologically, Chris's views are all over the place, ranging from conservative (e.g. slashing tax rates in half) to extremely liberal views (e.g. setting up a massive welfare initiative in the form of "soup hotels").

Notably, the "five percent" tax rate Chris wants to be halved refers to the Virginia sales tax rate, and not a federal income tax. Besides the fact that sales tax rates are set by the states and not by the federal government, and President Chandler would have no power to change this, Chris's misunderstanding of the distinction between income and sales tax points to the fact that, to nobody's surprise, [[Borb]] probably filed all of Chris's taxes for him during those three incredible months when Chris was actually employed.

Since Chris most likely has never seen a W-2 in his entire life, his approval of cutting taxes was most likely the influence of his late father. This is also most certainly the case with the next two points, which both relate to benefits for retired persons.

He would also take away all firearms from the civilian population, a direct violation of the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution. He then immediately backtracks on this idea, instead settling to just confiscate and ban the sale of ammunition. This ammunition would then be redistributed to the population in the event of an attack from "another nation or planet." Not even considering the fact that such a plan would be a logistical nightmare, Chris seems to forget that the United States already has a military to defend itself, so exactly why Chris believes the U.S. population would have to be engaged in Guerrilla-style warfare against a foreign invader is a mystery.

Chris's final proposal is perhaps the most egregious, suggesting that the resources of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, a federal agency which is, among other things, ''dedicated to stopping foreign and domestic terrorist plots'', should be used to investigate people who type "ur gay" over the internet.

In short, Chris's views on politics at that time were mostly the product of the influences of his conservative parents, combined with a well-meaning, yet [[naïve]] understanding of complex sociopolitical issues like poverty and gun violence.

==Other Issues==
===Terrorism===

On 15 [[November 2015]], Chris wrote [[Chris's Response to the Terrorism Attacks in Paris|a piece]] on the ISIS attacks in France.

He demonstrated a very simplistic notion of ISIS, comparing it to a cartoon villain “looking to gather energies and power for themselves.”

He also tried to understand the motives of the terrorists by using his own life experiences against trolls, saying “I feel the terrorists, regardless of country, are misguided with paranoia and fear of others.”

His solution for world peace is simply to “stand together, combining our hearts and souls in the efforts to share the lights of friendship and love.” This ignores all underlying motives for sociopolitical tensions and is a solution more fitting for a fight among small children.

===Patriotism===

In the 2009 [[Father Call]], Matthew called out Chris on his lack of patriotism, for making [[Twin Falling Towers]], saying, “Don't tell me you're an American.” Chris took it literally, responding with “I was born in America, I was raised in America my whole life, I never left the United States of America.”

On [[Live Game Stream - C-Log 050032017-2|3 May 2017]], Chris naïvely appealed to North Korea, a foreign totalitarian regime, for a coup against the President of the United States.

==Chris's Involvement in the Political Process==
Chris, to many people's shock and horror, has voted in multiple United States presidential elections.

===Pre-2000===
Prior to 2000, Chris was not eligible to vote as he was below the age of 18, which had been the minimum voting age {{w|Twenty-sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution|since 1971}}.

===2000-2004===
The {{w|2000 United States presidential election}} marked the first election in which Chris could vote. Chris has never explicitly stated whom he voted for in 2000 or 2004 - however, he has excluded Bush from his list of [[JERKS]] as being one of the few good men, and in [[Mailbag 28]] wrote that he liked Bush because "He made some good decisions". It is therefore likely that Chris voted Bush.

===2008===
In 2008, Chris voted for Democratic candidate Barack Obama. His main reason for doing so was the fact that he had watched a set of documentaries on both Obama and his Republican opponent, John McCain. Chris, in [[True and Honest]] form, said he voted against McCain because he couldn’t identify with him on a personal level. In December 2008, he stated:<ref>[[IRC (18 December 2008)]]</ref>

{{quotebox|I saw more of myself in Obama when I watched his A&E Biography, than in McCain's A&E Biography; both downloaded from the Playstation Store.

Who would you vote for; a war hero that you couldn't feel that much for, or the guy who you feel like is similar to you in social dilemmas?}}
Chris's reasons for choosing Obama over McCain are understandable, given the number of candidates, successful or otherwise, who has campaigned as a "man of the people." However, exactly what qualities of Barack Obama an obese manchild saw in himself is currently unknown. Chris elaborated further in 2014, during [[Catie Date Conversation Transcript|a date with Catherine]]:

{{quotebox|I kind of felt like um, with my mental stabil-, with my mental problems and whatnot, I felt like I could similarly relate to him? I felt more related, felt more relatable to him in that sense than McCain was. As he was the, uh, prisoner in that other country he insisted, he did not want to be released early. He wanted to go out with the r-, with as s-, at the same time as errybody else. Uh I mean, that is, that is admirable [he pronounces this word all wrong].}}

===2009===
In 2009, Chris made the following comments on the {{w|2009 Virginia gubernatorial election}}:

{{quotebox|
Also, as for voting, in current events, my main concern is on the [[Wikipedia:Governor of Virginia| Governer of Virginia]]; [[Wikipedia:Bob McDonnell|Bob McDonnel]] or [[Wikipedia:Creigh Deeds|Craig Deeds]]. There are tales of McDonnel wanting to take Virginia backwards, in a sense, by supporting a law created by Bush Jr. (I think). And McDonnel is Against Abortion Rights, and he would make it illegal, even in incest or rape, and for married couples, to have the choice. On the other hand, Craig supports higher taxes for gas, housing and such. Currently, Craig is ahead, but my father and I both feel that Neither McDonnel or Craig are good; they're both poor choices. We're even thinking on Election Day to Write in [[Peanuts|Snoopy (Charlie Brown's dog)]] instead of voting for McDonnel or Craig. LOL<ref>[[Regina e-mails]]</ref>
}}

{{quotebox|
I feel that higher taxes is the better of the two evils in the governer issues, so I'll probably root for Deeds anyway.<ref>[[Regina e-mails]]</ref>
}}

Bob McDonnell ended up winning the race with 59% of the vote. This is the only time Chris is known to have paid attention to a statewide election. There were exactly 2 write-in votes in Ruckersville during this election,<ref>[[https://historical.elections.virginia.gov/elections/view/38481/</ref> which makes it seem quite possible that Chris and Bob did in fact write-in Snoopy.

===2012===
Chris would go on to vote for Obama a second time in 2012 for, once again, no real reason besides his claim that he personally identified with him, saying, "I felt like I wanted to make sure that I had [[Chris and his Ego|good reason]] to decide from the change and having a first black president. Aside from that, cause if I had done that, if I had done it on just that alone, that would have been racist."

===2016===
{{see also|Pmurt}}

[[File:Cwc electionday 2016.jpg|thumb|Chris, after casting his vote for Hillary Clinton]]

Despite having four more years of opportunities to actually understand how a country functions, Chris's reasoning for his choice in the 2016 Presidential election remained laughably shallow. Chris repeatedly made clear his preference for Democratic candidate {{w|Hillary Clinton}} during this election cycle; his main reason being that she is a [[China|woman]]. In February 2016, Chris said, "I feel like American [sic] needs a woman's touch finally after all these years"<ref>[[Update 02/16/2016]]</ref> as a reason for why he wanted Hillary Clinton [[Women's Rights|to become president.]]

Chris did make a ''slight'' attempt to develop his political views from the Obama era. Instead of just voting for Clinton because she reminds him of himself, he read up on the issues. Unfortunately, this consisted of [[Pmurt#Chris's news sources|skimming clickbait articles]] written by LGBT activists. He also cited an episode of The Simpsons as one of his major sources for being opposed to Clinton’s opponent, Donald Trump.<ref>[[September 2016 Facebook posts#Registered to vote]]</ref>

When a fan asked him for reasons to vote for Clinton, he responded:<ref>[[Misc texts#Anti-Pmurt]]</ref>

* Hillary will Tax the Fat Cats and fill the middle class and lower and get the country less in debt.

* She is PRO-LGBTQ and Immigrants.

* She is more beneficial for EVERYONE in General.

* AND, this country is long Overdue for a Woman's touch.

Despite claiming to be a feminist, the sexism in Chris's "woman's touch" remarks seems to elude him.

Chris has also given [[Pmurt#Opposition to Trump|many reasons for opposing Trump]].

===2016 Election Results===

[[File:Feelings of the election results (720p 30fps H264-192kbit AAC).mp400001.png|thumb|Chris, after learning of the election results]]
On 9 [[November 2016]], Chris reacted to news of Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton [[Pmurt#Death Threats|by throwing a huge temper tantrum]]. During that time, he:

* Asked someone to kill Trump with "a sniper rifle."

* Made videos and Facebook posts depicting the President-elect, and later the Vice President-elect, being murdered in effigy, using Transformers and Legos.

* Posted to the comments section of an LGBT Facebook page and asked its readers to pray for Trump’s death.

He also signed [[Pmurt#Anti-Trump petitions|an online petition]] asking the Electoral College to disregard the results of the 2016 election and install Clinton into the presidency which did not happen.

Chris has refused to recognize Pmurt as his president, saying, "[[Chris and reality|Trump is Not president, mayor, or Anything in Cwcville.]]"<ref>[[November 2016 Facebook posts#I'm done adulting]]</ref>

===Open Letter to Pmurt on the LGBT===
Upon reading that Pmurt had said he would sign the {{w|First Amendment Defense Act}} if passed by Congress, a bill opposed by liberals due to potentially enabling discrimination against the LGBT community, Chris first reacted by [[December 2016 Facebook posts#Advocate or die, Trump!|making a death threat]], then writing [[December 2016 Facebook posts#A puzzler for Trump|an open letter]] directed at Pmurt.

{{quotebox|Hey! #DonaldTrump. I have a puzzler for you.

In the alternate reality/dimension/universe where A, Every person there is the Opposite born gender from here (in an example, the Donald Trump there is a Woman, and Every President of the United States of America there has been Female), and B, the LGBTQ is the Norm and the discrimination happens against the Straight People. Would You, the Donald Trump of This reality/dimension/universe, allow the Donald Trump(ette) in That opposite reality/dimension/universe, Sign the Anti-Straight Law, that would allow discrimination of Yourself, Ever?

If your answer is No, then it should be fit that you Not discriminate against us, the LGBTQ, as the people there Discriminate against the Straight.

Yet, if your answer remains Yes, then you, sir, would end up being a Self-Loathing Person, as you allowed the continuing of Discrimination of Yourself in that reality/dimension/universe that is the Very Same Planet, AND the Very Same United States of America, that You, Yourself, regardless, dare to reside and take office in.

<nowiki>#DonaldTrump</nowiki>, Abdicate the Office and let Hillary Clinton run this country, For the Love of Religion, and for any shred of Self-Love you have for yourself. Or die from yours or someone else's hand.

Good day. }}

Though confusing, Chris's point seems to be that he wants Pmurt to consider the perspective of an LGBT-oriented person before making his decision on the bill. Aside from the death threat at the end, it is a fair effort by Chris, whose own [[autism]] often makes it difficult for him to empathize with other people. In any case, said bill was never passed or signed by Pmurt.

===2020===
{{quote|Right on! I say No to Drumpftastic [[Mathematics|infinity squared]].|Chris, giving support to the Biden/Harris campaign in response to Jason Alexander's endorsement.<ref>[[October 2020 social media posts#No to Drumpftastic]]</ref>}}
[[File:YangGang.png|thumb|left|For a time, Chris was part of the Yang Gang.]]

By the time he encountered the Idea Guys, Chris had shifted his focus from being invested in following [[SLGBTQ|LGBT+ groups]] to being invested in his [[Chris and coping|imaginary world]]. Without the influence from LGBT groups, Chris seemed to have left his hatred of Trump and his interest in politics behind, preferring to occupy himself with his [[polyamorous marriage]]s and alternate [[dimensions]]. Nonetheless, Chris vocalized his support for Andrew Yang in [[October 2019]], during the lead-up to the Democratic Party primaries to select a nominee for President. This was most likely due to Yang's support of universal basic income, which Chris probably hoped would upgrade his [[monthly tugboat]] significantly. Conversely, he practically ignored any and all news concerning Trump's impeachment in [[December 2019]] and the months that followed, which demonstrated Chris's comparative lack of interest in politics at this point in time. After all, the impeachment process would have been the earliest point that he could have been removed from office besides January 2021, presuming that he lost his 2020 re-election bid (which he eventually did).

However, Chris did become slightly more engaged with politics much closer to the 2020 election, starting around the time that news that Donald Trump contracted [[COVID-19]] got out. Taking to [[October 2020 social media posts|social media]] during [[October 2020]], he replied to [[Ben Saint]] to dispel his claims that Chris was responsible for Trump's ailment via a [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha|curse]]; Chris also took a moment to proclaim that COVID-19 would '''not''' be the cause of Trump's demise, but that his end will come by other means, as [[Eid, Pmurt, Eid|his death]] is foretold as part of Chris's own [[Dimensional Merge]] prophecies. He then vocalized support for Democratic Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates Joe Biden and Kamala Harris a few days later, after their respective debates against Donald Trump and Mike Pence, ensuring that they received the critical Sonichu vote in the election. Chris also appreciated the schadenfreude of someone reportedly hacking into Trump's [[Twitter]] account after it was reported to have very minimal security protection. True to Chris's prophecy, Trump recovered from his infection.

The actual election arrived on 3 November. Despite Chris’s opposition to Trump and the uncertainty of the election, he tweeted that he would vote for Lisa Simpson, likely due to his belief that she would lead the nation after the Merge.<ref>[[November 2020 social media posts##LisaSimpson2020]]</ref> Provisional results indicate that Chris may be one of only two {{w|write-in candidate|write-in}} voters in Ruckersville.<ref>[https://results.elections.virginia.gov/vaelections/2020%20November%20General/Site/Locality/GREENE_COUNTY/President_and_Vice_President.html Unofficial Election Results], Virginia Department of Elections</ref> Regardless of whether or not Chris really wasted his vote on Lisa Simpson, Biden then won Virginia later that night by nearly ten points and eventually won enough states for both an electoral college and popular vote victory over Trump. Chris eventually [[November 2020 social media posts#Pmurt|watched a ''Saturday Night Live'' segment that he later tweeted about]], expressing jubilation that Trump would not get a second term.

Amid a recent attempt to retreat into his fantasy world,<ref>[[December 2020 social media posts#The Merge is apparently on]]</ref> Chris did not comment on the outcome of the run-off Senate races in Georgia, which gave Biden a bare majority in the Senate, the {{w|2021 storming of the United States Capitol|storming of the U.S. Capitol}} on the following day, or Trump's second impeachment on charges of incitement to insurrection as a result of the storming. However, Chris did comment on Trump's ban from Twitter, which also occurred as a result of the storming.<ref>[[January 2021 social media posts#Donald Trump]]</ref>

===2024===
[[File:X - Kamala Harris 2024 sign2.jpeg|thumb|200px|Chris's art supporting [[Kamala Harris]]'s run for president.]]
At the 2024 Libertarian National Convention, two write-in votes were cast for "Christian Weston Chandler" on the first ballot of the party's presidential nomination process. Chris himself had no apparent affiliation with or knowledge of the votes.<ref>[[:File:Chris 2 votes 2024 LNC.jpg|First round ballots for the 2024 Libertarian National Convention's presidential nomination]]</ref>

Chris supported [[Kamala Harris]] in this presidential election.<ref>[[August_2024_social_media_posts#Support_for_Kamala_Harris]]</ref> He created a hand-drawn sign in support of her and displayed it at [[14 Branchland Court]], his former residence.<ref>[[September 2024 social media posts##KamalaHarris4President2024]]</ref>

When Chris [[Jesus Christ Chan Reacting to Presidential Debate 2024|livestreamed his reaction to the presidential debate between Harris and Trump]], he called himself a moderate.<ref>[[Jesus Christ Chan Reacting to Presidential Debate 2024]]</ref>

==Chris as apolitical==
Some Christorians are of the opinion that Chris is essentially apolitical, and doesn't have the maturity or outward perspective needed to truly grasp political issues. This is evidenced from Chris voting for Obama in 2008 and 2012 because he personally related to him, and Chris voting for Hillary in 2016 because she is a woman. In 2020, when most progressives were focused on ousting Trump, Chris wrote in Lisa Simpson. This all combined indicates that hunches and fantasies shape Chris's voting patterns more so than actual policies of candidates.

Chris has, on occasions, fleetingly expressed political opinions: for example, he said Hillary would be a good president because she supported immigration, and said in 2010 that taxes should be lowered. If we take Chris as apolitical, these statements should be taken to reflect peer influence from the LGBT community and Bob respectively, i.e. Chris is fleetingly parroting political opinions rather than actually considering their content.

When pressed for his opinion on abortion, Chris has at times said it's a personal choice, suggested (though not explicitly stated) it should only be legal in cases of rape or [[Affair with Mother|incest]], or just failed to respond entirely.<ref>[[Kacey Call 19]]</ref><ref>[[Mailbag 20#Chris on abortion]]</ref>

It is not necessarily a contradiction to say that Chris is political in the sense of being engaged with the political process, but apolitical in the sense of being disengaged with political discourse. In political science, Chris could be referred to as a {{w|low information voter}}.

November 2009

2025-04-18T10:16:17Z

Mangolover887:

'''November''' was the eleventh month of [[2009]]. Chris opened the month with a bang, uploading a [[Twin Falling Towers|staggeringly tone-deaf parody]] of the September 11 terrorist attacks to [[YouTube]] as part of his abortive campaign to blackmail [[Clyde Cash]]. This outrage was soon overshadowed by the total collapse of his relationship with [[Kacey]], as chronicled in a pair of leaked phone calls that showed Chris at his desperate, dishonest, sniveling worst. However, he recovered from these setbacks with aplomb - after acquiring what he believes is an official government seal of approval for [[Sonichu]]'s [[copyright]], Chris once again embarked on his quest to turn the Electric Hedgehog Pokemon into a multimedia empire. Toward the end of the month, Chris began to update the [[comic]] on an almost daily basis and answering the [[Mailbag]] on [[CWCipedia]].

Chris and politics

2025-04-18T10:15:46Z

Mangolover887: /* 2009 */

{{quote|EID, PMURT, EID|[[Chris]]'s biting political commentary on President [[Pmurt|Trump]].}}

[[File:Chris_Chad_Sonichu.jpeg|thumb|right|Chris's political views defy conventional classification.]]

Since his discovery on the Internet through [[2017|2017]], Chris has been quite vocal about his '''political views'''. He was once a moderate and then leaned left. Following his [[transgender|shift in gender identity]] from 2011 onward, he moved further left. His progressing support of the LGBT+ community may have been why he became more vocal about politics.

==General views==
Before the [[2010s]], Chris was a self-described moderate. His views were eclectic – they could best be described as fiscally liberal and socially conservative. He would therefore receive criticism from both sides of the political fence. Liberal [[trolls]] criticized Chris for his [[racism]], [[sexism]], [[homophobia]], and black-and-white view of the world, as well as his poor understanding of science. Conservative trolls criticized him for his lack of a [[job]], reliance on the [[tugboat|government]], unusual behavior, and obscure interests.

After the close of the Classic era, Chris's social views started to shift left, while his fiscal views shifted even further.

===Reasons for Chris's political shift===
====Shift in identity====
Chris's [[transgender]] identity has left him open to political influence from others, particularly as he has begun socializing within the [[SLGBTQ|LGBT]] [[Impulse Gay Social Club|community]] and other generally progressive outlets. He even became accepting of [[homos|gay men]], a group he once vehemently opposed.

====Financial problems====
{{main|Financhu Crisis}}

Chris's deteriorating financial situation, continued dependence on [[Monthly tugboat|government money]], and growing [[Chris and health|health problems]] for himself and his mother have enhanced his sensitivity to social spending and fiscal policy. In particular, one of [[Pmurt]]'s most prominent policy goals was the repeal of the current {{w|Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act|Affordable Care Act}}; while the exact effects of the law on healthcare costs and availability for common people are debatable, it is generally considered at least partly effective. Chris has no doubt heard about Republican repeal efforts from his limited political news exposure, and likely holds them against Trump and his allies.

===Politics in the Trump era and beyond===
[[File:Something Completely Different - A few Transformers Jokes, a.mp400001.png|thumb|left|Chris discussed his political opinions by using toys to role-play a conversation.<ref>[[Something Completely Different - A few Transformers Jokes, also anti-Pmurt]]</ref>]]

Chris voiced criticism of Republican Party presidential nominee Donald Trump throughout 2016; after Trump's surprise victory, he issued outright death threats against President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. After they were inaugurated, he viewed himself as part of the anti-Trump resistance, although he did little aside from post memes and additional messages telling them to die. Chris's interests in [[SLGBTQ|LGBT+ issues]] likely played a role in his attacks on the then-new administration. However, in 2018, under the influence of the [[Idea Guys]], he talked in [[Get Out, You D*** Nazis|a video]] about opposing [[Nazis]], and claimed to be a member of {{w|Antifa (United States)|Antifa}}. He also [[Smashing|destroyed a toy pony]] under the impression that Nazis (a recurring antagonistic presence in the Idea Guys lore) had bugged it. As Chris became more enthralled by the concept of the [[Dimensional Merge]], he generally tuned out of politics as he became more focused on [[Dimensions|alternate dimensions]] and [[Messiah complex|his role in ensuring that cartoons and video games could become real]].

Chris would eventually voice support to Joe Biden's presidential campaign, but he voted for {{w|Lisa Simpson}} in 2020 because [[Chris and reality|he actually believes]] that she will become POTUS after the [[Dimensional Merge]] takes place.<ref>[[Discord Q&A 5#Operation of CWCville's Government]]</ref> While he continued to hate Trump and Pence, the outcome of the election didn't matter to him as much personally due to his belief in the delusion. His belief that Lisa is president presumably takes its influence from ''[[The Simpsons]]'' episode "{{w|Bart to the Future}}," which is set years in the future after she succeeds Donald Trump's then-fictional administration, which substantially increased the national [[debt]] before she took office. However, the events of "Bart to the Future" are not predictive, despite numerous viral videos promoting such misconception: Donald Trump considered running for the job in 1999, one year before the episode aired, and the first of the six bankruptcies to affect his businesses (which the national debt joke referenced) occurred in 1991.<ref>https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/simpsons-predict-trump</ref>

==Views on policy==
Chris's political views resemble a third-grade child's "if I were President" social studies assignment, possessing a shallow understanding of major world issues.

A rather insightful example of his limited understanding of how the world actually works is his video [[A Public Announcement for Congress]], in which Chris explains in detail the actions he would take if elected President of the United States.

One doesn't even need to play the video to know that Chris is full of shit, as the title "A Public Announcement for Congress," contradicts itself. The video is not directed at Congress in any way, but rather is a stump speech directed at the American people. Anyone familiar with Chris's [[Chris and English|unique]] manner of speaking knows that he makes a habit of using fancy-sounding words (to him, at least) to make himself sound more intelligent than he actually is. Since Chris has no idea how to actually use these words, the results often make him sound even more like a total moron.

{{Infobox/video
| name = A Public Announcement for Congress
| ytid = OhqFeTAHCo8

| subject = {{Politics|text}}, {{Trollsicon|text}}
| style = {{Crazy|text}}
| saga = {{Jackie|text}}
| shirt = {{BrickFestShirt|text}}
}}

In the video, Chris displays to the world that he has no idea how anything works.

Chris's first 100 days as President would be as follows:
* Use federal funds to create massive government housing complexes in every major city for the homeless.
* Drastically lower the sales tax of the state of Virginia from 5% to 2.5%.
* Not lower "benefits" for retirees.
* Subsidize pharmaceutical costs for retirees.
* Confiscate all firearms owned by civilians.
* Legalize gay marriage in every member state of the United Nations.
* Construct FBI stations to monitor the activities of internet trolls.

Ideologically, Chris's views are all over the place, ranging from conservative (e.g. slashing tax rates in half) to extremely liberal views (e.g. setting up a massive welfare initiative in the form of "soup hotels").

Notably, the "five percent" tax rate Chris wants to be halved refers to the Virginia sales tax rate, and not a federal income tax. Besides the fact that sales tax rates are set by the states and not by the federal government, and President Chandler would have no power to change this, Chris's misunderstanding of the distinction between income and sales tax points to the fact that, to nobody's surprise, [[Borb]] probably filed all of Chris's taxes for him during those three incredible months when Chris was actually employed.

Since Chris most likely has never seen a W-2 in his entire life, his approval of cutting taxes was most likely the influence of his late father. This is also most certainly the case with the next two points, which both relate to benefits for retired persons.

He would also take away all firearms from the civilian population, a direct violation of the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution. He then immediately backtracks on this idea, instead settling to just confiscate and ban the sale of ammunition. This ammunition would then be redistributed to the population in the event of an attack from "another nation or planet." Not even considering the fact that such a plan would be a logistical nightmare, Chris seems to forget that the United States already has a military to defend itself, so exactly why Chris believes the U.S. population would have to be engaged in Guerrilla-style warfare against a foreign invader is a mystery.

Chris's final proposal is perhaps the most egregious, suggesting that the resources of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, a federal agency which is, among other things, ''dedicated to stopping foreign and domestic terrorist plots'', should be used to investigate people who type "ur gay" over the internet.

In short, Chris's views on politics at that time were mostly the product of the influences of his conservative parents, combined with a well-meaning, yet [[naïve]] understanding of complex sociopolitical issues like poverty and gun violence.

==Other Issues==
===Terrorism===

On 15 [[November 2015]], Chris wrote [[Chris's Response to the Terrorism Attacks in Paris|a piece]] on the ISIS attacks in France.

He demonstrated a very simplistic notion of ISIS, comparing it to a cartoon villain “looking to gather energies and power for themselves.”

He also tried to understand the motives of the terrorists by using his own life experiences against trolls, saying “I feel the terrorists, regardless of country, are misguided with paranoia and fear of others.”

His solution for world peace is simply to “stand together, combining our hearts and souls in the efforts to share the lights of friendship and love.” This ignores all underlying motives for sociopolitical tensions and is a solution more fitting for a fight among small children.

===Patriotism===

In the 2009 [[Father Call]], Matthew called out Chris on his lack of patriotism, for making [[Twin Falling Towers]], saying, “Don't tell me you're an American.” Chris took it literally, responding with “I was born in America, I was raised in America my whole life, I never left the United States of America.”

On [[Live Game Stream - C-Log 050032017-2|3 May 2017]], Chris naïvely appealed to North Korea, a foreign totalitarian regime, for a coup against the President of the United States.

==Chris's Involvement in the Political Process==
Chris, to many people's shock and horror, has voted in multiple United States presidential elections.

===Pre-2000===
Prior to 2000, Chris was not eligible to vote as he was below the age of 18, which had been the minimum voting age {{w|Twenty-sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution|since 1971}}.

===2000-2004===
The {{w|2000 United States presidential election}} marked the first election in which Chris could vote. Chris has never explicitly stated whom he voted for in 2000 or 2004 - however, he has excluded Bush from his list of [[JERKS]] as being one of the few good men, and in [[Mailbag 28]] wrote that he liked Bush because "He made some good decisions". It is therefore likely that Chris voted Bush.

===2008===
In 2008, Chris voted for Democratic candidate Barack Obama. His main reason for doing so was the fact that he had watched a set of documentaries on both Obama and his Republican opponent, John McCain. Chris, in [[True and Honest]] form, said he voted against McCain because he couldn’t identify with him on a personal level. In December 2008, he stated:<ref>[[IRC (18 December 2008)]]</ref>

{{quotebox|I saw more of myself in Obama when I watched his A&E Biography, than in McCain's A&E Biography; both downloaded from the Playstation Store.

Who would you vote for; a war hero that you couldn't feel that much for, or the guy who you feel like is similar to you in social dilemmas?}}
Chris's reasons for choosing Obama over McCain are understandable, given the number of candidates, successful or otherwise, who has campaigned as a "man of the people." However, exactly what qualities of Barack Obama an obese manchild saw in himself is currently unknown. Chris elaborated further in 2014, during [[Catie Date Conversation Transcript|a date with Catherine]]:

{{quotebox|I kind of felt like um, with my mental stabil-, with my mental problems and whatnot, I felt like I could similarly relate to him? I felt more related, felt more relatable to him in that sense than McCain was. As he was the, uh, prisoner in that other country he insisted, he did not want to be released early. He wanted to go out with the r-, with as s-, at the same time as errybody else. Uh I mean, that is, that is admirable [he pronounces this word all wrong].}}

===2009===
In 2009, Chris made the following comment on the {{w|2009 Virginia gubernatorial election}}:

{{quotebox|
Also, as for voting, in current events, my main concern is on the [[Wikipedia:Governor of Virginia| Governer of Virginia]]; [[Wikipedia:Bob McDonnell|Bob McDonnel]] or [[Wikipedia:Creigh Deeds|Craig Deeds]]. There are tales of McDonnel wanting to take Virginia backwards, in a sense, by supporting a law created by Bush Jr. (I think). And McDonnel is Against Abortion Rights, and he would make it illegal, even in incest or rape, and for married couples, to have the choice. On the other hand, Craig supports higher taxes for gas, housing and such. Currently, Craig is ahead, but my father and I both feel that Neither McDonnel or Craig are good; they're both poor choices. We're even thinking on Election Day to Write in [[Peanuts|Snoopy (Charlie Brown's dog)]] instead of voting for McDonnel or Craig. LOL<ref>[[Regina e-mails]]</ref>
}}

Bob McDonnell ended up winning the race with 59% of the vote. This is the only time Chris is known to have paid attention to a statewide election. There were exactly 2 write-in votes in Ruckersville during this election,<ref>[[https://historical.elections.virginia.gov/elections/view/38481/</ref> which makes it seem likely that Chris and Bob did in fact write-in Snoopy as planned.

===2012===
Chris would go on to vote for Obama a second time in 2012 for, once again, no real reason besides his claim that he personally identified with him, saying, "I felt like I wanted to make sure that I had [[Chris and his Ego|good reason]] to decide from the change and having a first black president. Aside from that, cause if I had done that, if I had done it on just that alone, that would have been racist."

===2016===
{{see also|Pmurt}}

[[File:Cwc electionday 2016.jpg|thumb|Chris, after casting his vote for Hillary Clinton]]

Despite having four more years of opportunities to actually understand how a country functions, Chris's reasoning for his choice in the 2016 Presidential election remained laughably shallow. Chris repeatedly made clear his preference for Democratic candidate {{w|Hillary Clinton}} during this election cycle; his main reason being that she is a [[China|woman]]. In February 2016, Chris said, "I feel like American [sic] needs a woman's touch finally after all these years"<ref>[[Update 02/16/2016]]</ref> as a reason for why he wanted Hillary Clinton [[Women's Rights|to become president.]]

Chris did make a ''slight'' attempt to develop his political views from the Obama era. Instead of just voting for Clinton because she reminds him of himself, he read up on the issues. Unfortunately, this consisted of [[Pmurt#Chris's news sources|skimming clickbait articles]] written by LGBT activists. He also cited an episode of The Simpsons as one of his major sources for being opposed to Clinton’s opponent, Donald Trump.<ref>[[September 2016 Facebook posts#Registered to vote]]</ref>

When a fan asked him for reasons to vote for Clinton, he responded:<ref>[[Misc texts#Anti-Pmurt]]</ref>

* Hillary will Tax the Fat Cats and fill the middle class and lower and get the country less in debt.

* She is PRO-LGBTQ and Immigrants.

* She is more beneficial for EVERYONE in General.

* AND, this country is long Overdue for a Woman's touch.

Despite claiming to be a feminist, the sexism in Chris's "woman's touch" remarks seems to elude him.

Chris has also given [[Pmurt#Opposition to Trump|many reasons for opposing Trump]].

===2016 Election Results===

[[File:Feelings of the election results (720p 30fps H264-192kbit AAC).mp400001.png|thumb|Chris, after learning of the election results]]
On 9 [[November 2016]], Chris reacted to news of Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton [[Pmurt#Death Threats|by throwing a huge temper tantrum]]. During that time, he:

* Asked someone to kill Trump with "a sniper rifle."

* Made videos and Facebook posts depicting the President-elect, and later the Vice President-elect, being murdered in effigy, using Transformers and Legos.

* Posted to the comments section of an LGBT Facebook page and asked its readers to pray for Trump’s death.

He also signed [[Pmurt#Anti-Trump petitions|an online petition]] asking the Electoral College to disregard the results of the 2016 election and install Clinton into the presidency which did not happen.

Chris has refused to recognize Pmurt as his president, saying, "[[Chris and reality|Trump is Not president, mayor, or Anything in Cwcville.]]"<ref>[[November 2016 Facebook posts#I'm done adulting]]</ref>

===Open Letter to Pmurt on the LGBT===
Upon reading that Pmurt had said he would sign the {{w|First Amendment Defense Act}} if passed by Congress, a bill opposed by liberals due to potentially enabling discrimination against the LGBT community, Chris first reacted by [[December 2016 Facebook posts#Advocate or die, Trump!|making a death threat]], then writing [[December 2016 Facebook posts#A puzzler for Trump|an open letter]] directed at Pmurt.

{{quotebox|Hey! #DonaldTrump. I have a puzzler for you.

In the alternate reality/dimension/universe where A, Every person there is the Opposite born gender from here (in an example, the Donald Trump there is a Woman, and Every President of the United States of America there has been Female), and B, the LGBTQ is the Norm and the discrimination happens against the Straight People. Would You, the Donald Trump of This reality/dimension/universe, allow the Donald Trump(ette) in That opposite reality/dimension/universe, Sign the Anti-Straight Law, that would allow discrimination of Yourself, Ever?

If your answer is No, then it should be fit that you Not discriminate against us, the LGBTQ, as the people there Discriminate against the Straight.

Yet, if your answer remains Yes, then you, sir, would end up being a Self-Loathing Person, as you allowed the continuing of Discrimination of Yourself in that reality/dimension/universe that is the Very Same Planet, AND the Very Same United States of America, that You, Yourself, regardless, dare to reside and take office in.

<nowiki>#DonaldTrump</nowiki>, Abdicate the Office and let Hillary Clinton run this country, For the Love of Religion, and for any shred of Self-Love you have for yourself. Or die from yours or someone else's hand.

Good day. }}

Though confusing, Chris's point seems to be that he wants Pmurt to consider the perspective of an LGBT-oriented person before making his decision on the bill. Aside from the death threat at the end, it is a fair effort by Chris, whose own [[autism]] often makes it difficult for him to empathize with other people. In any case, said bill was never passed or signed by Pmurt.

===2020===
{{quote|Right on! I say No to Drumpftastic [[Mathematics|infinity squared]].|Chris, giving support to the Biden/Harris campaign in response to Jason Alexander's endorsement.<ref>[[October 2020 social media posts#No to Drumpftastic]]</ref>}}
[[File:YangGang.png|thumb|left|For a time, Chris was part of the Yang Gang.]]

By the time he encountered the Idea Guys, Chris had shifted his focus from being invested in following [[SLGBTQ|LGBT+ groups]] to being invested in his [[Chris and coping|imaginary world]]. Without the influence from LGBT groups, Chris seemed to have left his hatred of Trump and his interest in politics behind, preferring to occupy himself with his [[polyamorous marriage]]s and alternate [[dimensions]]. Nonetheless, Chris vocalized his support for Andrew Yang in [[October 2019]], during the lead-up to the Democratic Party primaries to select a nominee for President. This was most likely due to Yang's support of universal basic income, which Chris probably hoped would upgrade his [[monthly tugboat]] significantly. Conversely, he practically ignored any and all news concerning Trump's impeachment in [[December 2019]] and the months that followed, which demonstrated Chris's comparative lack of interest in politics at this point in time. After all, the impeachment process would have been the earliest point that he could have been removed from office besides January 2021, presuming that he lost his 2020 re-election bid (which he eventually did).

However, Chris did become slightly more engaged with politics much closer to the 2020 election, starting around the time that news that Donald Trump contracted [[COVID-19]] got out. Taking to [[October 2020 social media posts|social media]] during [[October 2020]], he replied to [[Ben Saint]] to dispel his claims that Chris was responsible for Trump's ailment via a [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha|curse]]; Chris also took a moment to proclaim that COVID-19 would '''not''' be the cause of Trump's demise, but that his end will come by other means, as [[Eid, Pmurt, Eid|his death]] is foretold as part of Chris's own [[Dimensional Merge]] prophecies. He then vocalized support for Democratic Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates Joe Biden and Kamala Harris a few days later, after their respective debates against Donald Trump and Mike Pence, ensuring that they received the critical Sonichu vote in the election. Chris also appreciated the schadenfreude of someone reportedly hacking into Trump's [[Twitter]] account after it was reported to have very minimal security protection. True to Chris's prophecy, Trump recovered from his infection.

The actual election arrived on 3 November. Despite Chris’s opposition to Trump and the uncertainty of the election, he tweeted that he would vote for Lisa Simpson, likely due to his belief that she would lead the nation after the Merge.<ref>[[November 2020 social media posts##LisaSimpson2020]]</ref> Provisional results indicate that Chris may be one of only two {{w|write-in candidate|write-in}} voters in Ruckersville.<ref>[https://results.elections.virginia.gov/vaelections/2020%20November%20General/Site/Locality/GREENE_COUNTY/President_and_Vice_President.html Unofficial Election Results], Virginia Department of Elections</ref> Regardless of whether or not Chris really wasted his vote on Lisa Simpson, Biden then won Virginia later that night by nearly ten points and eventually won enough states for both an electoral college and popular vote victory over Trump. Chris eventually [[November 2020 social media posts#Pmurt|watched a ''Saturday Night Live'' segment that he later tweeted about]], expressing jubilation that Trump would not get a second term.

Amid a recent attempt to retreat into his fantasy world,<ref>[[December 2020 social media posts#The Merge is apparently on]]</ref> Chris did not comment on the outcome of the run-off Senate races in Georgia, which gave Biden a bare majority in the Senate, the {{w|2021 storming of the United States Capitol|storming of the U.S. Capitol}} on the following day, or Trump's second impeachment on charges of incitement to insurrection as a result of the storming. However, Chris did comment on Trump's ban from Twitter, which also occurred as a result of the storming.<ref>[[January 2021 social media posts#Donald Trump]]</ref>

===2024===
[[File:X - Kamala Harris 2024 sign2.jpeg|thumb|200px|Chris's art supporting [[Kamala Harris]]'s run for president.]]
At the 2024 Libertarian National Convention, two write-in votes were cast for "Christian Weston Chandler" on the first ballot of the party's presidential nomination process. Chris himself had no apparent affiliation with or knowledge of the votes.<ref>[[:File:Chris 2 votes 2024 LNC.jpg|First round ballots for the 2024 Libertarian National Convention's presidential nomination]]</ref>

Chris supported [[Kamala Harris]] in this presidential election.<ref>[[August_2024_social_media_posts#Support_for_Kamala_Harris]]</ref> He created a hand-drawn sign in support of her and displayed it at [[14 Branchland Court]], his former residence.<ref>[[September 2024 social media posts##KamalaHarris4President2024]]</ref>

When Chris [[Jesus Christ Chan Reacting to Presidential Debate 2024|livestreamed his reaction to the presidential debate between Harris and Trump]], he called himself a moderate.<ref>[[Jesus Christ Chan Reacting to Presidential Debate 2024]]</ref>

==Chris as apolitical==
Some Christorians are of the opinion that Chris is essentially apolitical, and doesn't have the maturity or outward perspective needed to truly grasp political issues. This is evidenced from Chris voting for Obama in 2008 and 2012 because he personally related to him, and Chris voting for Hillary in 2016 because she is a woman. In 2020, when most progressives were focused on ousting Trump, Chris wrote in Lisa Simpson. This all combined indicates that hunches and fantasies shape Chris's voting patterns more so than actual policies of candidates.

Chris has, on occasions, fleetingly expressed political opinions: for example, he said Hillary would be a good president because she supported immigration, and said in 2010 that taxes should be lowered. If we take Chris as apolitical, these statements should be taken to reflect peer influence from the LGBT community and Bob respectively, i.e. Chris is fleetingly parroting political opinions rather than actually considering their content.

When pressed for his opinion on abortion, Chris has at times said it's a personal choice, suggested (though not explicitly stated) it should only be legal in cases of rape or [[Affair with Mother|incest]], or just failed to respond entirely.<ref>[[Kacey Call 19]]</ref><ref>[[Mailbag 20#Chris on abortion]]</ref>

It is not necessarily a contradiction to say that Chris is political in the sense of being engaged with the political process, but apolitical in the sense of being disengaged with political discourse. In political science, Chris could be referred to as a {{w|low information voter}}.

November 2009

2025-04-18T10:15:08Z

Mangolover887:

'''November''' was the eleventh month of [[2009]]. Chris opened the month with a bang, uploading a [[Twin Falling Towers|staggeringly tone-deaf parody]] of the September 11 terrorist attacks to [[YouTube]] as part of his abortive campaign to blackmail [[Clyde Cash]]. This outrage was soon overshadowed by the total collapse of his relationship with [[Kacey]], as chronicled in a pair of leaked phone calls that showed Chris at his desperate, dishonest, sniveling worst. However, he recovered from these setbacks with aplomb - after acquiring what he believes is an official government seal of approval for [[Sonichu]]'s [[copyright]], Chris once again embarked on his quest to turn the Electric Hedgehog Pokemon into a multimedia empire. Toward the end of the month, Chris began to update the [[comic]] on an almost daily basis and answering the [[Mailbag]] on [[CWCipedia]].

Chris and politics

2025-04-18T10:14:38Z

Mangolover887: /* 2009 */

{{quote|EID, PMURT, EID|[[Chris]]'s biting political commentary on President [[Pmurt|Trump]].}}

[[File:Chris_Chad_Sonichu.jpeg|thumb|right|Chris's political views defy conventional classification.]]

Since his discovery on the Internet through [[2017|2017]], Chris has been quite vocal about his '''political views'''. He was once a moderate and then leaned left. Following his [[transgender|shift in gender identity]] from 2011 onward, he moved further left. His progressing support of the LGBT+ community may have been why he became more vocal about politics.

==General views==
Before the [[2010s]], Chris was a self-described moderate. His views were eclectic – they could best be described as fiscally liberal and socially conservative. He would therefore receive criticism from both sides of the political fence. Liberal [[trolls]] criticized Chris for his [[racism]], [[sexism]], [[homophobia]], and black-and-white view of the world, as well as his poor understanding of science. Conservative trolls criticized him for his lack of a [[job]], reliance on the [[tugboat|government]], unusual behavior, and obscure interests.

After the close of the Classic era, Chris's social views started to shift left, while his fiscal views shifted even further.

===Reasons for Chris's political shift===
====Shift in identity====
Chris's [[transgender]] identity has left him open to political influence from others, particularly as he has begun socializing within the [[SLGBTQ|LGBT]] [[Impulse Gay Social Club|community]] and other generally progressive outlets. He even became accepting of [[homos|gay men]], a group he once vehemently opposed.

====Financial problems====
{{main|Financhu Crisis}}

Chris's deteriorating financial situation, continued dependence on [[Monthly tugboat|government money]], and growing [[Chris and health|health problems]] for himself and his mother have enhanced his sensitivity to social spending and fiscal policy. In particular, one of [[Pmurt]]'s most prominent policy goals was the repeal of the current {{w|Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act|Affordable Care Act}}; while the exact effects of the law on healthcare costs and availability for common people are debatable, it is generally considered at least partly effective. Chris has no doubt heard about Republican repeal efforts from his limited political news exposure, and likely holds them against Trump and his allies.

===Politics in the Trump era and beyond===
[[File:Something Completely Different - A few Transformers Jokes, a.mp400001.png|thumb|left|Chris discussed his political opinions by using toys to role-play a conversation.<ref>[[Something Completely Different - A few Transformers Jokes, also anti-Pmurt]]</ref>]]

Chris voiced criticism of Republican Party presidential nominee Donald Trump throughout 2016; after Trump's surprise victory, he issued outright death threats against President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. After they were inaugurated, he viewed himself as part of the anti-Trump resistance, although he did little aside from post memes and additional messages telling them to die. Chris's interests in [[SLGBTQ|LGBT+ issues]] likely played a role in his attacks on the then-new administration. However, in 2018, under the influence of the [[Idea Guys]], he talked in [[Get Out, You D*** Nazis|a video]] about opposing [[Nazis]], and claimed to be a member of {{w|Antifa (United States)|Antifa}}. He also [[Smashing|destroyed a toy pony]] under the impression that Nazis (a recurring antagonistic presence in the Idea Guys lore) had bugged it. As Chris became more enthralled by the concept of the [[Dimensional Merge]], he generally tuned out of politics as he became more focused on [[Dimensions|alternate dimensions]] and [[Messiah complex|his role in ensuring that cartoons and video games could become real]].

Chris would eventually voice support to Joe Biden's presidential campaign, but he voted for {{w|Lisa Simpson}} in 2020 because [[Chris and reality|he actually believes]] that she will become POTUS after the [[Dimensional Merge]] takes place.<ref>[[Discord Q&A 5#Operation of CWCville's Government]]</ref> While he continued to hate Trump and Pence, the outcome of the election didn't matter to him as much personally due to his belief in the delusion. His belief that Lisa is president presumably takes its influence from ''[[The Simpsons]]'' episode "{{w|Bart to the Future}}," which is set years in the future after she succeeds Donald Trump's then-fictional administration, which substantially increased the national [[debt]] before she took office. However, the events of "Bart to the Future" are not predictive, despite numerous viral videos promoting such misconception: Donald Trump considered running for the job in 1999, one year before the episode aired, and the first of the six bankruptcies to affect his businesses (which the national debt joke referenced) occurred in 1991.<ref>https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/simpsons-predict-trump</ref>

==Views on policy==
Chris's political views resemble a third-grade child's "if I were President" social studies assignment, possessing a shallow understanding of major world issues.

A rather insightful example of his limited understanding of how the world actually works is his video [[A Public Announcement for Congress]], in which Chris explains in detail the actions he would take if elected President of the United States.

One doesn't even need to play the video to know that Chris is full of shit, as the title "A Public Announcement for Congress," contradicts itself. The video is not directed at Congress in any way, but rather is a stump speech directed at the American people. Anyone familiar with Chris's [[Chris and English|unique]] manner of speaking knows that he makes a habit of using fancy-sounding words (to him, at least) to make himself sound more intelligent than he actually is. Since Chris has no idea how to actually use these words, the results often make him sound even more like a total moron.

{{Infobox/video
| name = A Public Announcement for Congress
| ytid = OhqFeTAHCo8
| stardate = 18 [[October 2010]]
| subject = {{Politics|text}}, {{Trollsicon|text}}
| style = {{Crazy|text}}
| saga = {{Jackie|text}}
| shirt = {{BrickFestShirt|text}}
}}

In the video, Chris displays to the world that he has no idea how anything works.

Chris's first 100 days as President would be as follows:
* Use federal funds to create massive government housing complexes in every major city for the homeless.
* Drastically lower the sales tax of the state of Virginia from 5% to 2.5%.
* Not lower "benefits" for retirees.
* Subsidize pharmaceutical costs for retirees.
* Confiscate all firearms owned by civilians.
* Legalize gay marriage in every member state of the United Nations.
* Construct FBI stations to monitor the activities of internet trolls.

Ideologically, Chris's views are all over the place, ranging from conservative (e.g. slashing tax rates in half) to extremely liberal views (e.g. setting up a massive welfare initiative in the form of "soup hotels").

Notably, the "five percent" tax rate Chris wants to be halved refers to the Virginia sales tax rate, and not a federal income tax. Besides the fact that sales tax rates are set by the states and not by the federal government, and President Chandler would have no power to change this, Chris's misunderstanding of the distinction between income and sales tax points to the fact that, to nobody's surprise, [[Borb]] probably filed all of Chris's taxes for him during those three incredible months when Chris was actually employed.

Since Chris most likely has never seen a W-2 in his entire life, his approval of cutting taxes was most likely the influence of his late father. This is also most certainly the case with the next two points, which both relate to benefits for retired persons.

He would also take away all firearms from the civilian population, a direct violation of the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution. He then immediately backtracks on this idea, instead settling to just confiscate and ban the sale of ammunition. This ammunition would then be redistributed to the population in the event of an attack from "another nation or planet." Not even considering the fact that such a plan would be a logistical nightmare, Chris seems to forget that the United States already has a military to defend itself, so exactly why Chris believes the U.S. population would have to be engaged in Guerrilla-style warfare against a foreign invader is a mystery.

Chris's final proposal is perhaps the most egregious, suggesting that the resources of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, a federal agency which is, among other things, ''dedicated to stopping foreign and domestic terrorist plots'', should be used to investigate people who type "ur gay" over the internet.

In short, Chris's views on politics at that time were mostly the product of the influences of his conservative parents, combined with a well-meaning, yet [[naïve]] understanding of complex sociopolitical issues like poverty and gun violence.

==Other Issues==
===Terrorism===

On 15 [[November 2015]], Chris wrote [[Chris's Response to the Terrorism Attacks in Paris|a piece]] on the ISIS attacks in France.

He demonstrated a very simplistic notion of ISIS, comparing it to a cartoon villain “looking to gather energies and power for themselves.”

He also tried to understand the motives of the terrorists by using his own life experiences against trolls, saying “I feel the terrorists, regardless of country, are misguided with paranoia and fear of others.”

His solution for world peace is simply to “stand together, combining our hearts and souls in the efforts to share the lights of friendship and love.” This ignores all underlying motives for sociopolitical tensions and is a solution more fitting for a fight among small children.

===Patriotism===

In the 2009 [[Father Call]], Matthew called out Chris on his lack of patriotism, for making [[Twin Falling Towers]], saying, “Don't tell me you're an American.” Chris took it literally, responding with “I was born in America, I was raised in America my whole life, I never left the United States of America.”

On [[Live Game Stream - C-Log 050032017-2|3 May 2017]], Chris naïvely appealed to North Korea, a foreign totalitarian regime, for a coup against the President of the United States.

==Chris's Involvement in the Political Process==
Chris, to many people's shock and horror, has voted in multiple United States presidential elections.

===Pre-2000===
Prior to 2000, Chris was not eligible to vote as he was below the age of 18, which had been the minimum voting age {{w|Twenty-sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution|since 1971}}.

===2000-2004===
The {{w|2000 United States presidential election}} marked the first election in which Chris could vote. Chris has never explicitly stated whom he voted for in 2000 or 2004 - however, he has excluded Bush from his list of [[JERKS]] as being one of the few good men, and in [[Mailbag 28]] wrote that he liked Bush because "He made some good decisions". It is therefore likely that Chris voted Bush.

===2008===
In 2008, Chris voted for Democratic candidate Barack Obama. His main reason for doing so was the fact that he had watched a set of documentaries on both Obama and his Republican opponent, John McCain. Chris, in [[True and Honest]] form, said he voted against McCain because he couldn’t identify with him on a personal level. In December 2008, he stated:<ref>[[IRC (18 December 2008)]]</ref>

{{quotebox|I saw more of myself in Obama when I watched his A&E Biography, than in McCain's A&E Biography; both downloaded from the Playstation Store.

Who would you vote for; a war hero that you couldn't feel that much for, or the guy who you feel like is similar to you in social dilemmas?}}
Chris's reasons for choosing Obama over McCain are understandable, given the number of candidates, successful or otherwise, who has campaigned as a "man of the people." However, exactly what qualities of Barack Obama an obese manchild saw in himself is currently unknown. Chris elaborated further in 2014, during [[Catie Date Conversation Transcript|a date with Catherine]]:

{{quotebox|I kind of felt like um, with my mental stabil-, with my mental problems and whatnot, I felt like I could similarly relate to him? I felt more related, felt more relatable to him in that sense than McCain was. As he was the, uh, prisoner in that other country he insisted, he did not want to be released early. He wanted to go out with the r-, with as s-, at the same time as errybody else. Uh I mean, that is, that is admirable [he pronounces this word all wrong].}}

===2009===
In 2009, Chris made the following comment on the {{w|2009 Virginia gubernatorial election}}:

{{quotebox|
Also, as for voting, in current events, my main concern is on the [[Wikipedia:Governor of Virginia| Governer of Virginia]]; [[Wikipedia:Bob McDonnell|Bob McDonnel]] or [[Wikipedia:Creigh Deeds|Craig Deeds]]. There are tales of McDonnel wanting to take Virginia backwards, in a sense, by supporting a law created by Bush Jr. (I think). And McDonnel is Against Abortion Rights, and he would make it illegal, even in incest or rape, and for married couples, to have the choice. On the other hand, Craig supports higher taxes for gas, housing and such. Currently, Craig is ahead, but my father and I both feel that Neither McDonnel or Craig are good; they're both poor choices. We're even thinking on Election Day to Write in [[Peanuts|Snoopy (Charlie Brown's dog)]] instead of voting for McDonnel or Craig. LOL<ref>[[Regina e-mails]]</ref>
}}

Bob McDonnell ended up winning the race with 59% of the vote. This is the only time Chris is known to have paid attention to a statewide election. There were exactly 2 write-in votes in Ruckersville during this election,<ref>[[https://historical.elections.virginia.gov/elections/view/38481/</ref> which makes it seem likely that Chris and Bob did in fact write-in Peanuts as planned.

===2012===
Chris would go on to vote for Obama a second time in 2012 for, once again, no real reason besides his claim that he personally identified with him, saying, "I felt like I wanted to make sure that I had [[Chris and his Ego|good reason]] to decide from the change and having a first black president. Aside from that, cause if I had done that, if I had done it on just that alone, that would have been racist."

===2016===
{{see also|Pmurt}}

[[File:Cwc electionday 2016.jpg|thumb|Chris, after casting his vote for Hillary Clinton]]

Despite having four more years of opportunities to actually understand how a country functions, Chris's reasoning for his choice in the 2016 Presidential election remained laughably shallow. Chris repeatedly made clear his preference for Democratic candidate {{w|Hillary Clinton}} during this election cycle; his main reason being that she is a [[China|woman]]. In February 2016, Chris said, "I feel like American [sic] needs a woman's touch finally after all these years"<ref>[[Update 02/16/2016]]</ref> as a reason for why he wanted Hillary Clinton [[Women's Rights|to become president.]]

Chris did make a ''slight'' attempt to develop his political views from the Obama era. Instead of just voting for Clinton because she reminds him of himself, he read up on the issues. Unfortunately, this consisted of [[Pmurt#Chris's news sources|skimming clickbait articles]] written by LGBT activists. He also cited an episode of The Simpsons as one of his major sources for being opposed to Clinton’s opponent, Donald Trump.<ref>[[September 2016 Facebook posts#Registered to vote]]</ref>

When a fan asked him for reasons to vote for Clinton, he responded:<ref>[[Misc texts#Anti-Pmurt]]</ref>

* Hillary will Tax the Fat Cats and fill the middle class and lower and get the country less in debt.

* She is PRO-LGBTQ and Immigrants.

* She is more beneficial for EVERYONE in General.

* AND, this country is long Overdue for a Woman's touch.

Despite claiming to be a feminist, the sexism in Chris's "woman's touch" remarks seems to elude him.

Chris has also given [[Pmurt#Opposition to Trump|many reasons for opposing Trump]].

===2016 Election Results===

[[File:Feelings of the election results (720p 30fps H264-192kbit AAC).mp400001.png|thumb|Chris, after learning of the election results]]
On 9 [[November 2016]], Chris reacted to news of Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton [[Pmurt#Death Threats|by throwing a huge temper tantrum]]. During that time, he:

* Asked someone to kill Trump with "a sniper rifle."

* Made videos and Facebook posts depicting the President-elect, and later the Vice President-elect, being murdered in effigy, using Transformers and Legos.

* Posted to the comments section of an LGBT Facebook page and asked its readers to pray for Trump’s death.

He also signed [[Pmurt#Anti-Trump petitions|an online petition]] asking the Electoral College to disregard the results of the 2016 election and install Clinton into the presidency which did not happen.

Chris has refused to recognize Pmurt as his president, saying, "[[Chris and reality|Trump is Not president, mayor, or Anything in Cwcville.]]"<ref>[[November 2016 Facebook posts#I'm done adulting]]</ref>

===Open Letter to Pmurt on the LGBT===
Upon reading that Pmurt had said he would sign the {{w|First Amendment Defense Act}} if passed by Congress, a bill opposed by liberals due to potentially enabling discrimination against the LGBT community, Chris first reacted by [[December 2016 Facebook posts#Advocate or die, Trump!|making a death threat]], then writing [[December 2016 Facebook posts#A puzzler for Trump|an open letter]] directed at Pmurt.

{{quotebox|Hey! #DonaldTrump. I have a puzzler for you.

In the alternate reality/dimension/universe where A, Every person there is the Opposite born gender from here (in an example, the Donald Trump there is a Woman, and Every President of the United States of America there has been Female), and B, the LGBTQ is the Norm and the discrimination happens against the Straight People. Would You, the Donald Trump of This reality/dimension/universe, allow the Donald Trump(ette) in That opposite reality/dimension/universe, Sign the Anti-Straight Law, that would allow discrimination of Yourself, Ever?

If your answer is No, then it should be fit that you Not discriminate against us, the LGBTQ, as the people there Discriminate against the Straight.

Yet, if your answer remains Yes, then you, sir, would end up being a Self-Loathing Person, as you allowed the continuing of Discrimination of Yourself in that reality/dimension/universe that is the Very Same Planet, AND the Very Same United States of America, that You, Yourself, regardless, dare to reside and take office in.

<nowiki>#DonaldTrump</nowiki>, Abdicate the Office and let Hillary Clinton run this country, For the Love of Religion, and for any shred of Self-Love you have for yourself. Or die from yours or someone else's hand.

Good day. }}

Though confusing, Chris's point seems to be that he wants Pmurt to consider the perspective of an LGBT-oriented person before making his decision on the bill. Aside from the death threat at the end, it is a fair effort by Chris, whose own [[autism]] often makes it difficult for him to empathize with other people. In any case, said bill was never passed or signed by Pmurt.

===2020===
{{quote|Right on! I say No to Drumpftastic [[Mathematics|infinity squared]].|Chris, giving support to the Biden/Harris campaign in response to Jason Alexander's endorsement.<ref>[[October 2020 social media posts#No to Drumpftastic]]</ref>}}
[[File:YangGang.png|thumb|left|For a time, Chris was part of the Yang Gang.]]

By the time he encountered the Idea Guys, Chris had shifted his focus from being invested in following [[SLGBTQ|LGBT+ groups]] to being invested in his [[Chris and coping|imaginary world]]. Without the influence from LGBT groups, Chris seemed to have left his hatred of Trump and his interest in politics behind, preferring to occupy himself with his [[polyamorous marriage]]s and alternate [[dimensions]]. Nonetheless, Chris vocalized his support for Andrew Yang in [[October 2019]], during the lead-up to the Democratic Party primaries to select a nominee for President. This was most likely due to Yang's support of universal basic income, which Chris probably hoped would upgrade his [[monthly tugboat]] significantly. Conversely, he practically ignored any and all news concerning Trump's impeachment in [[December 2019]] and the months that followed, which demonstrated Chris's comparative lack of interest in politics at this point in time. After all, the impeachment process would have been the earliest point that he could have been removed from office besides January 2021, presuming that he lost his 2020 re-election bid (which he eventually did).

However, Chris did become slightly more engaged with politics much closer to the 2020 election, starting around the time that news that Donald Trump contracted [[COVID-19]] got out. Taking to [[October 2020 social media posts|social media]] during [[October 2020]], he replied to [[Ben Saint]] to dispel his claims that Chris was responsible for Trump's ailment via a [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha|curse]]; Chris also took a moment to proclaim that COVID-19 would '''not''' be the cause of Trump's demise, but that his end will come by other means, as [[Eid, Pmurt, Eid|his death]] is foretold as part of Chris's own [[Dimensional Merge]] prophecies. He then vocalized support for Democratic Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates Joe Biden and Kamala Harris a few days later, after their respective debates against Donald Trump and Mike Pence, ensuring that they received the critical Sonichu vote in the election. Chris also appreciated the schadenfreude of someone reportedly hacking into Trump's [[Twitter]] account after it was reported to have very minimal security protection. True to Chris's prophecy, Trump recovered from his infection.

The actual election arrived on 3 November. Despite Chris’s opposition to Trump and the uncertainty of the election, he tweeted that he would vote for Lisa Simpson, likely due to his belief that she would lead the nation after the Merge.<ref>[[November 2020 social media posts##LisaSimpson2020]]</ref> Provisional results indicate that Chris may be one of only two {{w|write-in candidate|write-in}} voters in Ruckersville.<ref>[https://results.elections.virginia.gov/vaelections/2020%20November%20General/Site/Locality/GREENE_COUNTY/President_and_Vice_President.html Unofficial Election Results], Virginia Department of Elections</ref> Regardless of whether or not Chris really wasted his vote on Lisa Simpson, Biden then won Virginia later that night by nearly ten points and eventually won enough states for both an electoral college and popular vote victory over Trump. Chris eventually [[November 2020 social media posts#Pmurt|watched a ''Saturday Night Live'' segment that he later tweeted about]], expressing jubilation that Trump would not get a second term.

Amid a recent attempt to retreat into his fantasy world,<ref>[[December 2020 social media posts#The Merge is apparently on]]</ref> Chris did not comment on the outcome of the run-off Senate races in Georgia, which gave Biden a bare majority in the Senate, the {{w|2021 storming of the United States Capitol|storming of the U.S. Capitol}} on the following day, or Trump's second impeachment on charges of incitement to insurrection as a result of the storming. However, Chris did comment on Trump's ban from Twitter, which also occurred as a result of the storming.<ref>[[January 2021 social media posts#Donald Trump]]</ref>

===2024===
[[File:X - Kamala Harris 2024 sign2.jpeg|thumb|200px|Chris's art supporting [[Kamala Harris]]'s run for president.]]
At the 2024 Libertarian National Convention, two write-in votes were cast for "Christian Weston Chandler" on the first ballot of the party's presidential nomination process. Chris himself had no apparent affiliation with or knowledge of the votes.<ref>[[:File:Chris 2 votes 2024 LNC.jpg|First round ballots for the 2024 Libertarian National Convention's presidential nomination]]</ref>

Chris supported [[Kamala Harris]] in this presidential election.<ref>[[August_2024_social_media_posts#Support_for_Kamala_Harris]]</ref> He created a hand-drawn sign in support of her and displayed it at [[14 Branchland Court]], his former residence.<ref>[[September 2024 social media posts##KamalaHarris4President2024]]</ref>

When Chris [[Jesus Christ Chan Reacting to Presidential Debate 2024|livestreamed his reaction to the presidential debate between Harris and Trump]], he called himself a moderate.<ref>[[Jesus Christ Chan Reacting to Presidential Debate 2024]]</ref>

==Chris as apolitical==
Some Christorians are of the opinion that Chris is essentially apolitical, and doesn't have the maturity or outward perspective needed to truly grasp political issues. This is evidenced from Chris voting for Obama in 2008 and 2012 because he personally related to him, and Chris voting for Hillary in 2016 because she is a woman. In 2020, when most progressives were focused on ousting Trump, Chris wrote in Lisa Simpson. This all combined indicates that hunches and fantasies shape Chris's voting patterns more so than actual policies of candidates.

Chris has, on occasions, fleetingly expressed political opinions: for example, he said Hillary would be a good president because she supported immigration, and said in 2010 that taxes should be lowered. If we take Chris as apolitical, these statements should be taken to reflect peer influence from the LGBT community and Bob respectively, i.e. Chris is fleetingly parroting political opinions rather than actually considering their content.

When pressed for his opinion on abortion, Chris has at times said it's a personal choice, suggested (though not explicitly stated) it should only be legal in cases of rape or [[Affair with Mother|incest]], or just failed to respond entirely.<ref>[[Kacey Call 19]]</ref><ref>[[Mailbag 20#Chris on abortion]]</ref>

It is not necessarily a contradiction to say that Chris is political in the sense of being engaged with the political process, but apolitical in the sense of being disengaged with political discourse. In political science, Chris could be referred to as a {{w|low information voter}}.

Chris and politics

2025-04-18T10:13:29Z

Mangolover887: /* 2009 */

{{quote|EID, PMURT, EID|[[Chris]]'s biting political commentary on President [[Pmurt|Trump]].}}

[[File:Chris_Chad_Sonichu.jpeg|thumb|right|Chris's political views defy conventional classification.]]

Since his discovery on the Internet through [[2017|2017]], Chris has been quite vocal about his '''political views'''. He was once a moderate and then leaned left. Following his [[transgender|shift in gender identity]] from 2011 onward, he moved further left. His progressing support of the LGBT+ community may have been why he became more vocal about politics.

==General views==
Before the [[2010s]], Chris was a self-described moderate. His views were eclectic – they could best be described as fiscally liberal and socially conservative. He would therefore receive criticism from both sides of the political fence. Liberal [[trolls]] criticized Chris for his [[racism]], [[sexism]], [[homophobia]], and black-and-white view of the world, as well as his poor understanding of science. Conservative trolls criticized him for his lack of a [[job]], reliance on the [[tugboat|government]], unusual behavior, and obscure interests.

After the close of the Classic era, Chris's social views started to shift left, while his fiscal views shifted even further.

===Reasons for Chris's political shift===
====Shift in identity====
Chris's [[transgender]] identity has left him open to political influence from others, particularly as he has begun socializing within the [[SLGBTQ|LGBT]] [[Impulse Gay Social Club|community]] and other generally progressive outlets. He even became accepting of [[homos|gay men]], a group he once vehemently opposed.

====Financial problems====
{{main|Financhu Crisis}}

Chris's deteriorating financial situation, continued dependence on [[Monthly tugboat|government money]], and growing [[Chris and health|health problems]] for himself and his mother have enhanced his sensitivity to social spending and fiscal policy. In particular, one of [[Pmurt]]'s most prominent policy goals was the repeal of the current {{w|Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act|Affordable Care Act}}; while the exact effects of the law on healthcare costs and availability for common people are debatable, it is generally considered at least partly effective. Chris has no doubt heard about Republican repeal efforts from his limited political news exposure, and likely holds them against Trump and his allies.

===Politics in the Trump era and beyond===
[[File:Something Completely Different - A few Transformers Jokes, a.mp400001.png|thumb|left|Chris discussed his political opinions by using toys to role-play a conversation.<ref>[[Something Completely Different - A few Transformers Jokes, also anti-Pmurt]]</ref>]]

Chris voiced criticism of Republican Party presidential nominee Donald Trump throughout 2016; after Trump's surprise victory, he issued outright death threats against President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. After they were inaugurated, he viewed himself as part of the anti-Trump resistance, although he did little aside from post memes and additional messages telling them to die. Chris's interests in [[SLGBTQ|LGBT+ issues]] likely played a role in his attacks on the then-new administration. However, in 2018, under the influence of the [[Idea Guys]], he talked in [[Get Out, You D*** Nazis|a video]] about opposing [[Nazis]], and claimed to be a member of {{w|Antifa (United States)|Antifa}}. He also [[Smashing|destroyed a toy pony]] under the impression that Nazis (a recurring antagonistic presence in the Idea Guys lore) had bugged it. As Chris became more enthralled by the concept of the [[Dimensional Merge]], he generally tuned out of politics as he became more focused on [[Dimensions|alternate dimensions]] and [[Messiah complex|his role in ensuring that cartoons and video games could become real]].

Chris would eventually voice support to Joe Biden's presidential campaign, but he voted for {{w|Lisa Simpson}} in 2020 because [[Chris and reality|he actually believes]] that she will become POTUS after the [[Dimensional Merge]] takes place.<ref>[[Discord Q&A 5#Operation of CWCville's Government]]</ref> While he continued to hate Trump and Pence, the outcome of the election didn't matter to him as much personally due to his belief in the delusion. His belief that Lisa is president presumably takes its influence from ''[[The Simpsons]]'' episode "{{w|Bart to the Future}}," which is set years in the future after she succeeds Donald Trump's then-fictional administration, which substantially increased the national [[debt]] before she took office. However, the events of "Bart to the Future" are not predictive, despite numerous viral videos promoting such misconception: Donald Trump considered running for the job in 1999, one year before the episode aired, and the first of the six bankruptcies to affect his businesses (which the national debt joke referenced) occurred in 1991.<ref>https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/simpsons-predict-trump</ref>

==Views on policy==
Chris's political views resemble a third-grade child's "if I were President" social studies assignment, possessing a shallow understanding of major world issues.

A rather insightful example of his limited understanding of how the world actually works is his video [[A Public Announcement for Congress]], in which Chris explains in detail the actions he would take if elected President of the United States.

One doesn't even need to play the video to know that Chris is full of shit, as the title "A Public Announcement for Congress," contradicts itself. The video is not directed at Congress in any way, but rather is a stump speech directed at the American people. Anyone familiar with Chris's [[Chris and English|unique]] manner of speaking knows that he makes a habit of using fancy-sounding words (to him, at least) to make himself sound more intelligent than he actually is. Since Chris has no idea how to actually use these words, the results often make him sound even more like a total moron.

{{Infobox/video
| name = A Public Announcement for Congress
| ytid = OhqFeTAHCo8
| stardate = 18 [[October 2010]]
| subject = {{Politics|text}}, {{Trollsicon|text}}
| style = {{Crazy|text}}
| saga = {{Jackie|text}}
| shirt = {{BrickFestShirt|text}}
}}

In the video, Chris displays to the world that he has no idea how anything works.

Chris's first 100 days as President would be as follows:
* Use federal funds to create massive government housing complexes in every major city for the homeless.
* Drastically lower the sales tax of the state of Virginia from 5% to 2.5%.
* Not lower "benefits" for retirees.
* Subsidize pharmaceutical costs for retirees.
* Confiscate all firearms owned by civilians.
* Legalize gay marriage in every member state of the United Nations.
* Construct FBI stations to monitor the activities of internet trolls.

Ideologically, Chris's views are all over the place, ranging from conservative (e.g. slashing tax rates in half) to extremely liberal views (e.g. setting up a massive welfare initiative in the form of "soup hotels").

Notably, the "five percent" tax rate Chris wants to be halved refers to the Virginia sales tax rate, and not a federal income tax. Besides the fact that sales tax rates are set by the states and not by the federal government, and President Chandler would have no power to change this, Chris's misunderstanding of the distinction between income and sales tax points to the fact that, to nobody's surprise, [[Borb]] probably filed all of Chris's taxes for him during those three incredible months when Chris was actually employed.

Since Chris most likely has never seen a W-2 in his entire life, his approval of cutting taxes was most likely the influence of his late father. This is also most certainly the case with the next two points, which both relate to benefits for retired persons.

He would also take away all firearms from the civilian population, a direct violation of the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution. He then immediately backtracks on this idea, instead settling to just confiscate and ban the sale of ammunition. This ammunition would then be redistributed to the population in the event of an attack from "another nation or planet." Not even considering the fact that such a plan would be a logistical nightmare, Chris seems to forget that the United States already has a military to defend itself, so exactly why Chris believes the U.S. population would have to be engaged in Guerrilla-style warfare against a foreign invader is a mystery.

Chris's final proposal is perhaps the most egregious, suggesting that the resources of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, a federal agency which is, among other things, ''dedicated to stopping foreign and domestic terrorist plots'', should be used to investigate people who type "ur gay" over the internet.

In short, Chris's views on politics at that time were mostly the product of the influences of his conservative parents, combined with a well-meaning, yet [[naïve]] understanding of complex sociopolitical issues like poverty and gun violence.

==Other Issues==
===Terrorism===

On 15 [[November 2015]], Chris wrote [[Chris's Response to the Terrorism Attacks in Paris|a piece]] on the ISIS attacks in France.

He demonstrated a very simplistic notion of ISIS, comparing it to a cartoon villain “looking to gather energies and power for themselves.”

He also tried to understand the motives of the terrorists by using his own life experiences against trolls, saying “I feel the terrorists, regardless of country, are misguided with paranoia and fear of others.”

His solution for world peace is simply to “stand together, combining our hearts and souls in the efforts to share the lights of friendship and love.” This ignores all underlying motives for sociopolitical tensions and is a solution more fitting for a fight among small children.

===Patriotism===

In the 2009 [[Father Call]], Matthew called out Chris on his lack of patriotism, for making [[Twin Falling Towers]], saying, “Don't tell me you're an American.” Chris took it literally, responding with “I was born in America, I was raised in America my whole life, I never left the United States of America.”

On [[Live Game Stream - C-Log 050032017-2|3 May 2017]], Chris naïvely appealed to North Korea, a foreign totalitarian regime, for a coup against the President of the United States.

==Chris's Involvement in the Political Process==
Chris, to many people's shock and horror, has voted in multiple United States presidential elections.

===Pre-2000===
Prior to 2000, Chris was not eligible to vote as he was below the age of 18, which had been the minimum voting age {{w|Twenty-sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution|since 1971}}.

===2000-2004===
The {{w|2000 United States presidential election}} marked the first election in which Chris could vote. Chris has never explicitly stated whom he voted for in 2000 or 2004 - however, he has excluded Bush from his list of [[JERKS]] as being one of the few good men, and in [[Mailbag 28]] wrote that he liked Bush because "He made some good decisions". It is therefore likely that Chris voted Bush.

===2008===
In 2008, Chris voted for Democratic candidate Barack Obama. His main reason for doing so was the fact that he had watched a set of documentaries on both Obama and his Republican opponent, John McCain. Chris, in [[True and Honest]] form, said he voted against McCain because he couldn’t identify with him on a personal level. In December 2008, he stated:<ref>[[IRC (18 December 2008)]]</ref>

{{quotebox|I saw more of myself in Obama when I watched his A&E Biography, than in McCain's A&E Biography; both downloaded from the Playstation Store.

Who would you vote for; a war hero that you couldn't feel that much for, or the guy who you feel like is similar to you in social dilemmas?}}
Chris's reasons for choosing Obama over McCain are understandable, given the number of candidates, successful or otherwise, who has campaigned as a "man of the people." However, exactly what qualities of Barack Obama an obese manchild saw in himself is currently unknown. Chris elaborated further in 2014, during [[Catie Date Conversation Transcript|a date with Catherine]]:

{{quotebox|I kind of felt like um, with my mental stabil-, with my mental problems and whatnot, I felt like I could similarly relate to him? I felt more related, felt more relatable to him in that sense than McCain was. As he was the, uh, prisoner in that other country he insisted, he did not want to be released early. He wanted to go out with the r-, with as s-, at the same time as errybody else. Uh I mean, that is, that is admirable [he pronounces this word all wrong].}}

===2009===
In 2009, Chris made the following comment on the {{w|2009 Virginia gubernatorial election}}:

{{quotebox|
Also, as for voting, in current events, my main concern is on the [[Wikipedia:Governor of Virginia| Governer of Virginia]]; [[Wikipedia:Bob McDonnell|Bob McDonnel]] or [[Wikipedia:Creigh Deeds|Craig Deeds]]. There are tales of McDonnel wanting to take Virginia backwards, in a sense, by supporting a law created by Bush Jr. (I think). And McDonnel is Against Abortion Rights, and he would make it illegal, even in incest or rape, and for married couples, to have the choice. On the other hand, Craig supports higher taxes for gas, housing and such. Currently, Craig is ahead, but my father and I both feel that Neither McDonnel or Craig are good; they're both poor choices. We're even thinking on Election Day to Write in [[Peanuts|Snoopy (Charlie Brown's dog)]] instead of voting for McDonnel or Craig. LOL<ref>[[Regina e-mails]]</ref>
}}

Bob McDonnell ended up winning the race with 59% of the vote. This is the only time Chris is known to have paid attention to a statewide election. There were exactly 2 write-in votes in Ruckersville during this election,<ref>[[https://historical.elections.virginia.gov/elections/view/38481/</ref> which suggests (but does not confirm) that Chris and Bob did in fact write-in Peanuts as planned.

===2012===
Chris would go on to vote for Obama a second time in 2012 for, once again, no real reason besides his claim that he personally identified with him, saying, "I felt like I wanted to make sure that I had [[Chris and his Ego|good reason]] to decide from the change and having a first black president. Aside from that, cause if I had done that, if I had done it on just that alone, that would have been racist."

===2016===
{{see also|Pmurt}}

[[File:Cwc electionday 2016.jpg|thumb|Chris, after casting his vote for Hillary Clinton]]

Despite having four more years of opportunities to actually understand how a country functions, Chris's reasoning for his choice in the 2016 Presidential election remained laughably shallow. Chris repeatedly made clear his preference for Democratic candidate {{w|Hillary Clinton}} during this election cycle; his main reason being that she is a [[China|woman]]. In February 2016, Chris said, "I feel like American [sic] needs a woman's touch finally after all these years"<ref>[[Update 02/16/2016]]</ref> as a reason for why he wanted Hillary Clinton [[Women's Rights|to become president.]]

Chris did make a ''slight'' attempt to develop his political views from the Obama era. Instead of just voting for Clinton because she reminds him of himself, he read up on the issues. Unfortunately, this consisted of [[Pmurt#Chris's news sources|skimming clickbait articles]] written by LGBT activists. He also cited an episode of The Simpsons as one of his major sources for being opposed to Clinton’s opponent, Donald Trump.<ref>[[September 2016 Facebook posts#Registered to vote]]</ref>

When a fan asked him for reasons to vote for Clinton, he responded:<ref>[[Misc texts#Anti-Pmurt]]</ref>

* Hillary will Tax the Fat Cats and fill the middle class and lower and get the country less in debt.

* She is PRO-LGBTQ and Immigrants.

* She is more beneficial for EVERYONE in General.

* AND, this country is long Overdue for a Woman's touch.

Despite claiming to be a feminist, the sexism in Chris's "woman's touch" remarks seems to elude him.

Chris has also given [[Pmurt#Opposition to Trump|many reasons for opposing Trump]].

===2016 Election Results===

[[File:Feelings of the election results (720p 30fps H264-192kbit AAC).mp400001.png|thumb|Chris, after learning of the election results]]
On 9 [[November 2016]], Chris reacted to news of Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton [[Pmurt#Death Threats|by throwing a huge temper tantrum]]. During that time, he:

* Asked someone to kill Trump with "a sniper rifle."

* Made videos and Facebook posts depicting the President-elect, and later the Vice President-elect, being murdered in effigy, using Transformers and Legos.

* Posted to the comments section of an LGBT Facebook page and asked its readers to pray for Trump’s death.

He also signed [[Pmurt#Anti-Trump petitions|an online petition]] asking the Electoral College to disregard the results of the 2016 election and install Clinton into the presidency which did not happen.

Chris has refused to recognize Pmurt as his president, saying, "[[Chris and reality|Trump is Not president, mayor, or Anything in Cwcville.]]"<ref>[[November 2016 Facebook posts#I'm done adulting]]</ref>

===Open Letter to Pmurt on the LGBT===
Upon reading that Pmurt had said he would sign the {{w|First Amendment Defense Act}} if passed by Congress, a bill opposed by liberals due to potentially enabling discrimination against the LGBT community, Chris first reacted by [[December 2016 Facebook posts#Advocate or die, Trump!|making a death threat]], then writing [[December 2016 Facebook posts#A puzzler for Trump|an open letter]] directed at Pmurt.

{{quotebox|Hey! #DonaldTrump. I have a puzzler for you.

In the alternate reality/dimension/universe where A, Every person there is the Opposite born gender from here (in an example, the Donald Trump there is a Woman, and Every President of the United States of America there has been Female), and B, the LGBTQ is the Norm and the discrimination happens against the Straight People. Would You, the Donald Trump of This reality/dimension/universe, allow the Donald Trump(ette) in That opposite reality/dimension/universe, Sign the Anti-Straight Law, that would allow discrimination of Yourself, Ever?

If your answer is No, then it should be fit that you Not discriminate against us, the LGBTQ, as the people there Discriminate against the Straight.

Yet, if your answer remains Yes, then you, sir, would end up being a Self-Loathing Person, as you allowed the continuing of Discrimination of Yourself in that reality/dimension/universe that is the Very Same Planet, AND the Very Same United States of America, that You, Yourself, regardless, dare to reside and take office in.

<nowiki>#DonaldTrump</nowiki>, Abdicate the Office and let Hillary Clinton run this country, For the Love of Religion, and for any shred of Self-Love you have for yourself. Or die from yours or someone else's hand.

Good day. }}

Though confusing, Chris's point seems to be that he wants Pmurt to consider the perspective of an LGBT-oriented person before making his decision on the bill. Aside from the death threat at the end, it is a fair effort by Chris, whose own [[autism]] often makes it difficult for him to empathize with other people. In any case, said bill was never passed or signed by Pmurt.

===2020===
{{quote|Right on! I say No to Drumpftastic [[Mathematics|infinity squared]].|Chris, giving support to the Biden/Harris campaign in response to Jason Alexander's endorsement.<ref>[[October 2020 social media posts#No to Drumpftastic]]</ref>}}
[[File:YangGang.png|thumb|left|For a time, Chris was part of the Yang Gang.]]

By the time he encountered the Idea Guys, Chris had shifted his focus from being invested in following [[SLGBTQ|LGBT+ groups]] to being invested in his [[Chris and coping|imaginary world]]. Without the influence from LGBT groups, Chris seemed to have left his hatred of Trump and his interest in politics behind, preferring to occupy himself with his [[polyamorous marriage]]s and alternate [[dimensions]]. Nonetheless, Chris vocalized his support for Andrew Yang in [[October 2019]], during the lead-up to the Democratic Party primaries to select a nominee for President. This was most likely due to Yang's support of universal basic income, which Chris probably hoped would upgrade his [[monthly tugboat]] significantly. Conversely, he practically ignored any and all news concerning Trump's impeachment in [[December 2019]] and the months that followed, which demonstrated Chris's comparative lack of interest in politics at this point in time. After all, the impeachment process would have been the earliest point that he could have been removed from office besides January 2021, presuming that he lost his 2020 re-election bid (which he eventually did).

However, Chris did become slightly more engaged with politics much closer to the 2020 election, starting around the time that news that Donald Trump contracted [[COVID-19]] got out. Taking to [[October 2020 social media posts|social media]] during [[October 2020]], he replied to [[Ben Saint]] to dispel his claims that Chris was responsible for Trump's ailment via a [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha|curse]]; Chris also took a moment to proclaim that COVID-19 would '''not''' be the cause of Trump's demise, but that his end will come by other means, as [[Eid, Pmurt, Eid|his death]] is foretold as part of Chris's own [[Dimensional Merge]] prophecies. He then vocalized support for Democratic Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates Joe Biden and Kamala Harris a few days later, after their respective debates against Donald Trump and Mike Pence, ensuring that they received the critical Sonichu vote in the election. Chris also appreciated the schadenfreude of someone reportedly hacking into Trump's [[Twitter]] account after it was reported to have very minimal security protection. True to Chris's prophecy, Trump recovered from his infection.

The actual election arrived on 3 November. Despite Chris’s opposition to Trump and the uncertainty of the election, he tweeted that he would vote for Lisa Simpson, likely due to his belief that she would lead the nation after the Merge.<ref>[[November 2020 social media posts##LisaSimpson2020]]</ref> Provisional results indicate that Chris may be one of only two {{w|write-in candidate|write-in}} voters in Ruckersville.<ref>[https://results.elections.virginia.gov/vaelections/2020%20November%20General/Site/Locality/GREENE_COUNTY/President_and_Vice_President.html Unofficial Election Results], Virginia Department of Elections</ref> Regardless of whether or not Chris really wasted his vote on Lisa Simpson, Biden then won Virginia later that night by nearly ten points and eventually won enough states for both an electoral college and popular vote victory over Trump. Chris eventually [[November 2020 social media posts#Pmurt|watched a ''Saturday Night Live'' segment that he later tweeted about]], expressing jubilation that Trump would not get a second term.

Amid a recent attempt to retreat into his fantasy world,<ref>[[December 2020 social media posts#The Merge is apparently on]]</ref> Chris did not comment on the outcome of the run-off Senate races in Georgia, which gave Biden a bare majority in the Senate, the {{w|2021 storming of the United States Capitol|storming of the U.S. Capitol}} on the following day, or Trump's second impeachment on charges of incitement to insurrection as a result of the storming. However, Chris did comment on Trump's ban from Twitter, which also occurred as a result of the storming.<ref>[[January 2021 social media posts#Donald Trump]]</ref>

===2024===
[[File:X - Kamala Harris 2024 sign2.jpeg|thumb|200px|Chris's art supporting [[Kamala Harris]]'s run for president.]]
At the 2024 Libertarian National Convention, two write-in votes were cast for "Christian Weston Chandler" on the first ballot of the party's presidential nomination process. Chris himself had no apparent affiliation with or knowledge of the votes.<ref>[[:File:Chris 2 votes 2024 LNC.jpg|First round ballots for the 2024 Libertarian National Convention's presidential nomination]]</ref>

Chris supported [[Kamala Harris]] in this presidential election.<ref>[[August_2024_social_media_posts#Support_for_Kamala_Harris]]</ref> He created a hand-drawn sign in support of her and displayed it at [[14 Branchland Court]], his former residence.<ref>[[September 2024 social media posts##KamalaHarris4President2024]]</ref>

When Chris [[Jesus Christ Chan Reacting to Presidential Debate 2024|livestreamed his reaction to the presidential debate between Harris and Trump]], he called himself a moderate.<ref>[[Jesus Christ Chan Reacting to Presidential Debate 2024]]</ref>

==Chris as apolitical==
Some Christorians are of the opinion that Chris is essentially apolitical, and doesn't have the maturity or outward perspective needed to truly grasp political issues. This is evidenced from Chris voting for Obama in 2008 and 2012 because he personally related to him, and Chris voting for Hillary in 2016 because she is a woman. In 2020, when most progressives were focused on ousting Trump, Chris wrote in Lisa Simpson. This all combined indicates that hunches and fantasies shape Chris's voting patterns more so than actual policies of candidates.

Chris has, on occasions, fleetingly expressed political opinions: for example, he said Hillary would be a good president because she supported immigration, and said in 2010 that taxes should be lowered. If we take Chris as apolitical, these statements should be taken to reflect peer influence from the LGBT community and Bob respectively, i.e. Chris is fleetingly parroting political opinions rather than actually considering their content.

When pressed for his opinion on abortion, Chris has at times said it's a personal choice, suggested (though not explicitly stated) it should only be legal in cases of rape or [[Affair with Mother|incest]], or just failed to respond entirely.<ref>[[Kacey Call 19]]</ref><ref>[[Mailbag 20#Chris on abortion]]</ref>

It is not necessarily a contradiction to say that Chris is political in the sense of being engaged with the political process, but apolitical in the sense of being disengaged with political discourse. In political science, Chris could be referred to as a {{w|low information voter}}.

Mangolover887: /* Chris as apolitical */

{{quote|EID, PMURT, EID|[[Chris]]'s biting political commentary on President [[Pmurt|Trump]].}}

[[File:Chris_Chad_Sonichu.jpeg|thumb|right|Chris's political views defy conventional classification.]]

Since his discovery on the Internet through [[2017|2017]], Chris has been quite vocal about his '''political views'''. He was once a moderate and then leaned left. Following his [[transgender|shift in gender identity]] from 2011 onward, he moved further left. His progressing support of the LGBT+ community may have been why he became more vocal about politics.

==General views==
Before the [[2010s]], Chris was a self-described moderate. His views were eclectic – they could best be described as fiscally liberal and socially conservative. He would therefore receive criticism from both sides of the political fence. Liberal [[trolls]] criticized Chris for his [[racism]], [[sexism]], [[homophobia]], and black-and-white view of the world, as well as his poor understanding of science. Conservative trolls criticized him for his lack of a [[job]], reliance on the [[tugboat|government]], unusual behavior, and obscure interests.

After the close of the Classic era, Chris's social views started to shift left, while his fiscal views shifted even further.

===Reasons for Chris's political shift===
====Shift in identity====
Chris's [[transgender]] identity has left him open to political influence from others, particularly as he has begun socializing within the [[SLGBTQ|LGBT]] [[Impulse Gay Social Club|community]] and other generally progressive outlets. He even became accepting of [[homos|gay men]], a group he once vehemently opposed.

====Financial problems====
{{main|Financhu Crisis}}

Chris's deteriorating financial situation, continued dependence on [[Monthly tugboat|government money]], and growing [[Chris and health|health problems]] for himself and his mother have enhanced his sensitivity to social spending and fiscal policy. In particular, one of [[Pmurt]]'s most prominent policy goals was the repeal of the current {{w|Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act|Affordable Care Act}}; while the exact effects of the law on healthcare costs and availability for common people are debatable, it is generally considered at least partly effective. Chris has no doubt heard about Republican repeal efforts from his limited political news exposure, and likely holds them against Trump and his allies.

===Politics in the Trump era and beyond===
[[File:Something Completely Different - A few Transformers Jokes, a.mp400001.png|thumb|left|Chris discussed his political opinions by using toys to role-play a conversation.<ref>[[Something Completely Different - A few Transformers Jokes, also anti-Pmurt]]</ref>]]

Chris voiced criticism of Republican Party presidential nominee Donald Trump throughout 2016; after Trump's surprise victory, he issued outright death threats against President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. After they were inaugurated, he viewed himself as part of the anti-Trump resistance, although he did little aside from post memes and additional messages telling them to die. Chris's interests in [[SLGBTQ|LGBT+ issues]] likely played a role in his attacks on the then-new administration. However, in 2018, under the influence of the [[Idea Guys]], he talked in [[Get Out, You D*** Nazis|a video]] about opposing [[Nazis]], and claimed to be a member of {{w|Antifa (United States)|Antifa}}. He also [[Smashing|destroyed a toy pony]] under the impression that Nazis (a recurring antagonistic presence in the Idea Guys lore) had bugged it. As Chris became more enthralled by the concept of the [[Dimensional Merge]], he generally tuned out of politics as he became more focused on [[Dimensions|alternate dimensions]] and [[Messiah complex|his role in ensuring that cartoons and video games could become real]].

Chris would eventually voice support to Joe Biden's presidential campaign, but he voted for {{w|Lisa Simpson}} in 2020 because [[Chris and reality|he actually believes]] that she will become POTUS after the [[Dimensional Merge]] takes place.<ref>[[Discord Q&A 5#Operation of CWCville's Government]]</ref> While he continued to hate Trump and Pence, the outcome of the election didn't matter to him as much personally due to his belief in the delusion. His belief that Lisa is president presumably takes its influence from ''[[The Simpsons]]'' episode "{{w|Bart to the Future}}," which is set years in the future after she succeeds Donald Trump's then-fictional administration, which substantially increased the national [[debt]] before she took office. However, the events of "Bart to the Future" are not predictive, despite numerous viral videos promoting such misconception: Donald Trump considered running for the job in 1999, one year before the episode aired, and the first of the six bankruptcies to affect his businesses (which the national debt joke referenced) occurred in 1991.<ref>https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/simpsons-predict-trump</ref>

==Views on policy==
Chris's political views resemble a third-grade child's "if I were President" social studies assignment, possessing a shallow understanding of major world issues.

A rather insightful example of his limited understanding of how the world actually works is his video [[A Public Announcement for Congress]], in which Chris explains in detail the actions he would take if elected President of the United States.

One doesn't even need to play the video to know that Chris is full of shit, as the title "A Public Announcement for Congress," contradicts itself. The video is not directed at Congress in any way, but rather is a stump speech directed at the American people. Anyone familiar with Chris's [[Chris and English|unique]] manner of speaking knows that he makes a habit of using fancy-sounding words (to him, at least) to make himself sound more intelligent than he actually is. Since Chris has no idea how to actually use these words, the results often make him sound even more like a total moron.

{{Infobox/video
| name = A Public Announcement for Congress
| ytid = OhqFeTAHCo8
| stardate = 18 [[October 2010]]
| subject = {{Politics|text}}, {{Trollsicon|text}}
| style = {{Crazy|text}}
| saga = {{Jackie|text}}
| shirt = {{BrickFestShirt|text}}
}}

In the video, Chris displays to the world that he has no idea how anything works.

Chris's first 100 days as President would be as follows:
* Use federal funds to create massive government housing complexes in every major city for the homeless.
* Drastically lower the sales tax of the state of Virginia from 5% to 2.5%.
* Not lower "benefits" for retirees.
* Subsidize pharmaceutical costs for retirees.
* Confiscate all firearms owned by civilians.
* Legalize gay marriage in every member state of the United Nations.
* Construct FBI stations to monitor the activities of internet trolls.

Ideologically, Chris's views are all over the place, ranging from conservative (e.g. slashing tax rates in half) to extremely liberal views (e.g. setting up a massive welfare initiative in the form of "soup hotels").

Notably, the "five percent" tax rate Chris wants to be halved refers to the Virginia sales tax rate, and not a federal income tax. Besides the fact that sales tax rates are set by the states and not by the federal government, and President Chandler would have no power to change this, Chris's misunderstanding of the distinction between income and sales tax points to the fact that, to nobody's surprise, [[Borb]] probably filed all of Chris's taxes for him during those three incredible months when Chris was actually employed.

Since Chris most likely has never seen a W-2 in his entire life, his approval of cutting taxes was most likely the influence of his late father. This is also most certainly the case with the next two points, which both relate to benefits for retired persons.

He would also take away all firearms from the civilian population, a direct violation of the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution. He then immediately backtracks on this idea, instead settling to just confiscate and ban the sale of ammunition. This ammunition would then be redistributed to the population in the event of an attack from "another nation or planet." Not even considering the fact that such a plan would be a logistical nightmare, Chris seems to forget that the United States already has a military to defend itself, so exactly why Chris believes the U.S. population would have to be engaged in Guerrilla-style warfare against a foreign invader is a mystery.

Chris's final proposal is perhaps the most egregious, suggesting that the resources of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, a federal agency which is, among other things, ''dedicated to stopping foreign and domestic terrorist plots'', should be used to investigate people who type "ur gay" over the internet.

In short, Chris's views on politics at that time were mostly the product of the influences of his conservative parents, combined with a well-meaning, yet [[naïve]] understanding of complex sociopolitical issues like poverty and gun violence.

==Other Issues==
===Terrorism===

On 15 [[November 2015]], Chris wrote [[Chris's Response to the Terrorism Attacks in Paris|a piece]] on the ISIS attacks in France.

He demonstrated a very simplistic notion of ISIS, comparing it to a cartoon villain “looking to gather energies and power for themselves.”

He also tried to understand the motives of the terrorists by using his own life experiences against trolls, saying “I feel the terrorists, regardless of country, are misguided with paranoia and fear of others.”

His solution for world peace is simply to “stand together, combining our hearts and souls in the efforts to share the lights of friendship and love.” This ignores all underlying motives for sociopolitical tensions and is a solution more fitting for a fight among small children.

===Patriotism===

In the 2009 [[Father Call]], Matthew called out Chris on his lack of patriotism, for making [[Twin Falling Towers]], saying, “Don't tell me you're an American.” Chris took it literally, responding with “I was born in America, I was raised in America my whole life, I never left the United States of America.”

On [[Live Game Stream - C-Log 050032017-2|3 May 2017]], Chris naïvely appealed to North Korea, a foreign totalitarian regime, for a coup against the President of the United States.

==Chris's Involvement in the Political Process==
Chris, to many people's shock and horror, has voted in multiple United States presidential elections.

===Pre-2000===
Prior to 2000, Chris was not eligible to vote as he was below the age of 18, which had been the minimum voting age {{w|Twenty-sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution|since 1971}}.

===2000-2004===
The {{w|2000 United States presidential election}} marked the first election in which Chris could vote. Chris has never explicitly stated whom he voted for in 2000 or 2004 - however, he has excluded Bush from his list of [[JERKS]] as being one of the few good men, and in [[Mailbag 28]] wrote that he liked Bush because "He made some good decisions". It is therefore likely that Chris voted Bush.

===2008===
In 2008, Chris voted for Democratic candidate Barack Obama. His main reason for doing so was the fact that he had watched a set of documentaries on both Obama and his Republican opponent, John McCain. Chris, in [[True and Honest]] form, said he voted against McCain because he couldn’t identify with him on a personal level. In December 2008, he stated:<ref>[[IRC (18 December 2008)]]</ref>

{{quotebox|I saw more of myself in Obama when I watched his A&E Biography, than in McCain's A&E Biography; both downloaded from the Playstation Store.

Who would you vote for; a war hero that you couldn't feel that much for, or the guy who you feel like is similar to you in social dilemmas?}}
Chris's reasons for choosing Obama over McCain are understandable, given the number of candidates, successful or otherwise, who has campaigned as a "man of the people." However, exactly what qualities of Barack Obama an obese manchild saw in himself is currently unknown. Chris elaborated further in 2014, during [[Catie Date Conversation Transcript|a date with Catherine]]:

{{quotebox|I kind of felt like um, with my mental stabil-, with my mental problems and whatnot, I felt like I could similarly relate to him? I felt more related, felt more relatable to him in that sense than McCain was. As he was the, uh, prisoner in that other country he insisted, he did not want to be released early. He wanted to go out with the r-, with as s-, at the same time as errybody else. Uh I mean, that is, that is admirable [he pronounces this word all wrong].}}

===2009===
In 2009, Chris made the following comment on the {{w|2009 Virginia gubernatorial election}}:

{{quotebox|
Also, as for voting, in current events, my main concern is on the [[Wikipedia:Governor of Virginia| Governer of Virginia]]; [[Wikipedia:Bob McDonnell|Bob McDonnel]] or [[Wikipedia:Creigh Deeds|Craig Deeds]]. There are tales of McDonnel wanting to take Virginia backwards, in a sense, by supporting a law created by Bush Jr. (I think). And McDonnel is Against Abortion Rights, and he would make it illegal, even in incest or rape, and for married couples, to have the choice. On the other hand, Craig supports higher taxes for gas, housing and such. Currently, Craig is ahead, but my father and I both feel that Neither McDonnel or Craig are good; they're both poor choices. We're even thinking on Election Day to Write in [[Peanuts|Snoopy (Charlie Brown's dog)]] instead of voting for McDonnel or Craig. LOL<ref>[[Regina e-mails]]</ref>
}}

Bob McDonnell ended up winning the race with 59% of the vote. This is the only time Chris is known to have paid attention to a statewide election.

===2012===
Chris would go on to vote for Obama a second time in 2012 for, once again, no real reason besides his claim that he personally identified with him, saying, "I felt like I wanted to make sure that I had [[Chris and his Ego|good reason]] to decide from the change and having a first black president. Aside from that, cause if I had done that, if I had done it on just that alone, that would have been racist."

===2016===
{{see also|Pmurt}}

[[File:Cwc electionday 2016.jpg|thumb|Chris, after casting his vote for Hillary Clinton]]

Despite having four more years of opportunities to actually understand how a country functions, Chris's reasoning for his choice in the 2016 Presidential election remained laughably shallow. Chris repeatedly made clear his preference for Democratic candidate {{w|Hillary Clinton}} during this election cycle; his main reason being that she is a [[China|woman]]. In February 2016, Chris said, "I feel like American [sic] needs a woman's touch finally after all these years"<ref>[[Update 02/16/2016]]</ref> as a reason for why he wanted Hillary Clinton [[Women's Rights|to become president.]]

Chris did make a ''slight'' attempt to develop his political views from the Obama era. Instead of just voting for Clinton because she reminds him of himself, he read up on the issues. Unfortunately, this consisted of [[Pmurt#Chris's news sources|skimming clickbait articles]] written by LGBT activists. He also cited an episode of The Simpsons as one of his major sources for being opposed to Clinton’s opponent, Donald Trump.<ref>[[September 2016 Facebook posts#Registered to vote]]</ref>

When a fan asked him for reasons to vote for Clinton, he responded:<ref>[[Misc texts#Anti-Pmurt]]</ref>

* Hillary will Tax the Fat Cats and fill the middle class and lower and get the country less in debt.

* She is PRO-LGBTQ and Immigrants.

* She is more beneficial for EVERYONE in General.

* AND, this country is long Overdue for a Woman's touch.

Despite claiming to be a feminist, the sexism in Chris's "woman's touch" remarks seems to elude him.

Chris has also given [[Pmurt#Opposition to Trump|many reasons for opposing Trump]].

===2016 Election Results===

[[File:Feelings of the election results (720p 30fps H264-192kbit AAC).mp400001.png|thumb|Chris, after learning of the election results]]
On 9 [[November 2016]], Chris reacted to news of Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton [[Pmurt#Death Threats|by throwing a huge temper tantrum]]. During that time, he:

* Asked someone to kill Trump with "a sniper rifle."

* Made videos and Facebook posts depicting the President-elect, and later the Vice President-elect, being murdered in effigy, using Transformers and Legos.

* Posted to the comments section of an LGBT Facebook page and asked its readers to pray for Trump’s death.

He also signed [[Pmurt#Anti-Trump petitions|an online petition]] asking the Electoral College to disregard the results of the 2016 election and install Clinton into the presidency which did not happen.

Chris has refused to recognize Pmurt as his president, saying, "[[Chris and reality|Trump is Not president, mayor, or Anything in Cwcville.]]"<ref>[[November 2016 Facebook posts#I'm done adulting]]</ref>

===Open Letter to Pmurt on the LGBT===
Upon reading that Pmurt had said he would sign the {{w|First Amendment Defense Act}} if passed by Congress, a bill opposed by liberals due to potentially enabling discrimination against the LGBT community, Chris first reacted by [[December 2016 Facebook posts#Advocate or die, Trump!|making a death threat]], then writing [[December 2016 Facebook posts#A puzzler for Trump|an open letter]] directed at Pmurt.

{{quotebox|Hey! #DonaldTrump. I have a puzzler for you.

In the alternate reality/dimension/universe where A, Every person there is the Opposite born gender from here (in an example, the Donald Trump there is a Woman, and Every President of the United States of America there has been Female), and B, the LGBTQ is the Norm and the discrimination happens against the Straight People. Would You, the Donald Trump of This reality/dimension/universe, allow the Donald Trump(ette) in That opposite reality/dimension/universe, Sign the Anti-Straight Law, that would allow discrimination of Yourself, Ever?

If your answer is No, then it should be fit that you Not discriminate against us, the LGBTQ, as the people there Discriminate against the Straight.

Yet, if your answer remains Yes, then you, sir, would end up being a Self-Loathing Person, as you allowed the continuing of Discrimination of Yourself in that reality/dimension/universe that is the Very Same Planet, AND the Very Same United States of America, that You, Yourself, regardless, dare to reside and take office in.

<nowiki>#DonaldTrump</nowiki>, Abdicate the Office and let Hillary Clinton run this country, For the Love of Religion, and for any shred of Self-Love you have for yourself. Or die from yours or someone else's hand.

Good day. }}

Though confusing, Chris's point seems to be that he wants Pmurt to consider the perspective of an LGBT-oriented person before making his decision on the bill. Aside from the death threat at the end, it is a fair effort by Chris, whose own [[autism]] often makes it difficult for him to empathize with other people. In any case, said bill was never passed or signed by Pmurt.

===2020===
{{quote|Right on! I say No to Drumpftastic [[Mathematics|infinity squared]].|Chris, giving support to the Biden/Harris campaign in response to Jason Alexander's endorsement.<ref>[[October 2020 social media posts#No to Drumpftastic]]</ref>}}
[[File:YangGang.png|thumb|left|For a time, Chris was part of the Yang Gang.]]

By the time he encountered the Idea Guys, Chris had shifted his focus from being invested in following [[SLGBTQ|LGBT+ groups]] to being invested in his [[Chris and coping|imaginary world]]. Without the influence from LGBT groups, Chris seemed to have left his hatred of Trump and his interest in politics behind, preferring to occupy himself with his [[polyamorous marriage]]s and alternate [[dimensions]]. Nonetheless, Chris vocalized his support for Andrew Yang in [[October 2019]], during the lead-up to the Democratic Party primaries to select a nominee for President. This was most likely due to Yang's support of universal basic income, which Chris probably hoped would upgrade his [[monthly tugboat]] significantly. Conversely, he practically ignored any and all news concerning Trump's impeachment in [[December 2019]] and the months that followed, which demonstrated Chris's comparative lack of interest in politics at this point in time. After all, the impeachment process would have been the earliest point that he could have been removed from office besides January 2021, presuming that he lost his 2020 re-election bid (which he eventually did).

However, Chris did become slightly more engaged with politics much closer to the 2020 election, starting around the time that news that Donald Trump contracted [[COVID-19]] got out. Taking to [[October 2020 social media posts|social media]] during [[October 2020]], he replied to [[Ben Saint]] to dispel his claims that Chris was responsible for Trump's ailment via a [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha|curse]]; Chris also took a moment to proclaim that COVID-19 would '''not''' be the cause of Trump's demise, but that his end will come by other means, as [[Eid, Pmurt, Eid|his death]] is foretold as part of Chris's own [[Dimensional Merge]] prophecies. He then vocalized support for Democratic Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates Joe Biden and Kamala Harris a few days later, after their respective debates against Donald Trump and Mike Pence, ensuring that they received the critical Sonichu vote in the election. Chris also appreciated the schadenfreude of someone reportedly hacking into Trump's [[Twitter]] account after it was reported to have very minimal security protection. True to Chris's prophecy, Trump recovered from his infection.

The actual election arrived on 3 November. Despite Chris’s opposition to Trump and the uncertainty of the election, he tweeted that he would vote for Lisa Simpson, likely due to his belief that she would lead the nation after the Merge.<ref>[[November 2020 social media posts##LisaSimpson2020]]</ref> Provisional results indicate that Chris may be one of only two {{w|write-in candidate|write-in}} voters in Ruckersville.<ref>[https://results.elections.virginia.gov/vaelections/2020%20November%20General/Site/Locality/GREENE_COUNTY/President_and_Vice_President.html Unofficial Election Results], Virginia Department of Elections</ref> Regardless of whether or not Chris really wasted his vote on Lisa Simpson, Biden then won Virginia later that night by nearly ten points and eventually won enough states for both an electoral college and popular vote victory over Trump. Chris eventually [[November 2020 social media posts#Pmurt|watched a ''Saturday Night Live'' segment that he later tweeted about]], expressing jubilation that Trump would not get a second term.

Amid a recent attempt to retreat into his fantasy world,<ref>[[December 2020 social media posts#The Merge is apparently on]]</ref> Chris did not comment on the outcome of the run-off Senate races in Georgia, which gave Biden a bare majority in the Senate, the {{w|2021 storming of the United States Capitol|storming of the U.S. Capitol}} on the following day, or Trump's second impeachment on charges of incitement to insurrection as a result of the storming. However, Chris did comment on Trump's ban from Twitter, which also occurred as a result of the storming.<ref>[[January 2021 social media posts#Donald Trump]]</ref>

===2024===
[[File:X - Kamala Harris 2024 sign2.jpeg|thumb|200px|Chris's art supporting [[Kamala Harris]]'s run for president.]]
At the 2024 Libertarian National Convention, two write-in votes were cast for "Christian Weston Chandler" on the first ballot of the party's presidential nomination process. Chris himself had no apparent affiliation with or knowledge of the votes.<ref>[[:File:Chris 2 votes 2024 LNC.jpg|First round ballots for the 2024 Libertarian National Convention's presidential nomination]]</ref>

Chris supported [[Kamala Harris]] in this presidential election.<ref>[[August_2024_social_media_posts#Support_for_Kamala_Harris]]</ref> He created a hand-drawn sign in support of her and displayed it at [[14 Branchland Court]], his former residence.<ref>[[September 2024 social media posts##KamalaHarris4President2024]]</ref>

When Chris [[Jesus Christ Chan Reacting to Presidential Debate 2024|livestreamed his reaction to the presidential debate between Harris and Trump]], he called himself a moderate.<ref>[[Jesus Christ Chan Reacting to Presidential Debate 2024]]</ref>

==Chris as apolitical==
Some Christorians are of the opinion that Chris is essentially apolitical, and doesn't have the maturity or outward perspective needed to truly grasp political issues. This is evidenced from Chris voting for Obama in 2008 and 2012 because he personally related to him, and Chris voting for Hillary in 2016 because she is a woman. In 2020, when most progressives were focused on ousting Trump, Chris wrote in Lisa Simpson. This all combined indicates that hunches and fantasies shape Chris's voting patterns more so than actual policies of candidates.

Chris has, on occasions, fleetingly expressed political opinions: for example, he said Hillary would be a good president because she supported immigration, and said in 2010 that taxes should be lowered. If we take Chris as apolitical, these statements should be taken to reflect peer influence from the LGBT community and Bob respectively, i.e. Chris is fleetingly parroting political opinions rather than actually considering their content.

When pressed for his opinion on abortion, Chris has at times said it's a personal choice, suggested (though not explicitly stated) it should only be legal in cases of rape or [[Affair with Mother|incest]], or just failed to respond entirely.<ref>[[Kacey Call 19]]</ref><ref>[[Mailbag 20#Chris on abortion]]</ref>

It is not necessarily a contradiction to say that Chris is political in the sense of being engaged with the political process, but apolitical in the sense of being disengaged with political discourse. In political science, Chris could be referred to as a {{w|low information voter}}.

== Notable ancestors ==
This section lists Chris' ancestors in chronological order from most to least recent death. Ancestors who fought for the Confederate States of America are listed separately, in the "Dixiechus" section.

=== Robert Wynn ===
Barbara's maternal grandfather '''Robert Pettus Wynn''' (17 Nov 1882 - 20 Jan 1954) was allegedly a two-timing [[Alcohol|drunk]] and moonshiner who "failed to provide even the most basic support for his wife and children".<ref>http://www.harveypowers.com/genealogy/roots/individual.html#118</ref> In his death certificate, his profession is given as [[tobacco]] farmer.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/238604751/robert-pettis-wynn</ref>

=== John James Hollomon ===
[[File:John James Hollomon.jpg|thumb|right|150px|John James Hollomon in 1910]]
Bob's maternal grandfather '''John James Hollomon''' (3 May 1868 - 16 Mar 1950) <ref>[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/10638068/john-james-hollomon]</ref> was born in {{w|Meigs County, Tennessee}} but lived most of his later life in {{w|Wylie, Texas}}, a city and suburb in {{w|Collin County, Texas|Collin County}} and {{w|Dallas}} respectively. He was a well-known local pharmacist in the Collin county for over 50 years. He married twice in his life, first to Mary Francis Hollomon (née Teer 10th March 1872 - 3 Jul 1914), the daughter of a doctor specializing in osteopathic, whom he had 4 children including Jean Hollomon, Bob's mother. In 1915 he married Helen E. Hollomon (née Nelms 10 Apr 1893 - 29 Oct 1972) with whom he had 3 more children including Bob's half uncle Dr. John James "JJ" Hollomon Jr (1917-1992). Bob reminisces that Hollomon gave him a straight razor "by means of [Hollomon's] last will and testament," and Bob instead broke it while using it as a screwdriver, which he later held onto this regret for decades well into his 60s because he believed Hollomon wanted him to have it as a personal item and value.

Notable enough, his father was an Esquire John Richmond Hollomon (1831 - 1899), a lawyer and attorney in the Meigs County area.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/70362078/susanna-brady#:~:text=of%20her%20son%2C-,J.R.%20Hollomon%20Esq.,-of%20this%20county</ref> More notable enough, his grandfather Pleasant Hollomon (1803 - 1865), served in the {{w|Tennessee House of Representatives}} in the Meigs and {{w|Rhea County, Tennessee|Rhea}} counties from 1849 to 1851. A democrat, he was a constable of the 5th Civil district of Meigs county in 1836-1839, was a deputy sheriff of Meigs in early 1840s and a deputy and tax collector in 1845.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/70361465/pleasant-hollomon</ref>

===Rev. Sidney Smith Chandler===
'''The Reverend Sidney Smith Chandler''' (1805 - September 1866) was a Baptist minister and clergyman in Alabama. He is Chris's great-great-great grandfather along his paternal line. Born in Georgia, his father died in 1816 when he was 11. He moved to Alabama in 1829 and became a Primitive Baptist Clergyman and Minster in Autauga County. He also was a slaveowner, owning one female slave in the 1850 slave census.

He later married Mary Lucinda Walker and later fathered 12 children, including Joseph and his brother Edmund. He died in September of 1866 just shortly after the end of the American Civil War. Two of his sons, James (1830-1862) and Edmund (1835-1865) would die fighting in the Civil War.

===Francis Weston===
'''Francis Weston Sr.''' (Feb 1793 - 19 March 1838) was an English-born immigrant to the United States and a frontiersmen. He is Barbara's great-great-grandfather along her paternal line, making him Chris's maternal great-great-great-grandfather.

Born in {{w|Derbyshire}}, he had immigrated to [[Ohio]] by 1820 and married at {{w|Wheeling, West Virginia}} a year later to Grace Moore, an English-born American, whose parents were also an immigrants from Derbyshire. They had six out of seven children survived, the second oldest being Mary Ann Weston in 1825 and the youngest Joseph Edward "John" Weston in July 1836,<ref>[https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-6Q23-PTF?i=2&cc=1401638&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AMXSB-9Q8 Joseph (listed as Edward Weston) with his three older siblings and mother Gracy in 1850 census)]</ref><ref>[https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-9BS6-DF?i=8&cc=1473181&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AMCPH-V55 Gracy Weston (Joseph's mother) in 1860 census with her son Francis]</ref> all in {{w|Augusta Township, Carroll County, Ohio|Augusta Township}}. Through Joseph, Francis's surname would be carried on to [[Barbara]], which, in turn, would serve as the basis for [[Chris|our hero]]'s middle name.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/118642485/francis-weston</ref>

According to newspapers, After immigrating to Augusta Township, Francis, a frontiersmen, built a homestead house of his and his family in a wilderness place with 2 other families surrounded by wild animals and forest. The homestead house was a shanty with puncheon floor and chimney made with sticks and clay. They mentioned about the one occasion Francis was chased by wolves in a forest when coming home from buying fresh meats. Francis would pass away at age 45 in March 1838, 2 years after his youngest son Joseph was born.

In a later pseudo-historical account of events by Barbara and Chris, Francis is replaced by a certain [[Daniel Weston]]. Unlike the historical Francis Weston, ''Daniel'' Weston travelled to North America in 1620 (a whole 2 centuries earlier than Francis), and has the honor of being of a descendant of [[Anne Boleyn]] (whose {{w|Elizabeth I|only daughter}} died childless).

Francis' son, Francis Weston Jr, according to newspapers, was a "popular" and successful businessman and general merchant, owning iron and furnace company, and many other successful companies at Ohio, West Virginia and Missouri with a college education to his name. Through his daughter Jane, Francis Sr is the grandfather of {{w|Pierce County, Washington}}'s Superior Court judge & attorney William Oscar Chapman, who at the time of admitting to {{w|Ohio State Bar Association|Ohio bar}}, was in the same group of applicants with a later president of the United States {{w|William Howard Taft}}.

=== Captain Joseph Looney ===
Joseph Lewellyn Looney (abt.1740-1816) fought in the {{w|American Revolutionary War}} on the Patriot side. He fought in the {{w|Battle of Guilford Court House}} under major general [[Nathanael Greene Elementary School|Nathanael Greene]].<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Looney-149</ref>

=== Polly Bowman ===
{{main|Ancient leader of the Cherokee Clan}}
Chris has at least one [[Cherokee]] ancestor, about whom he absolutely knows nothing. The ancestor was introduced in ''[[Sonichu 2|Sonichu #2]]'', which was completed on 3 May 2005. The ancestor was long assumed to be nonexistent, but on 16 January 2025 - 19 years and 8 months later - the ancestor was discovered to be real by CWCki editor [[User:Cilria2|Cilria2]]. '''Polly Bowman "Cherokee Mother" Cherokee''' (abt 1703 to 1790) is Chris's 7th great-grandmother.

=== John Chandler and Elizabeth Lupo ===
Although there is no evidence that his mother's ancestors were on board the ''Mayflower'', Chris's paternal ancestors were among the first settlers of his home state of Virginia. Chris's direct male ancestor '''John Chandler''' (c. 1600-1657), a native of London, was an early settler of {{w|Jamestown, Virginia|Jamestown}}, [[Virginia]], arriving in 1610 with a boat ''Hercules'', ten years before the ''Mayflower''.<ref>https://www.geni.com/people/John-Chandler-l/6000000008639070482</ref> John married the widow '''Elizabeth Lupo''' (née '''Bassano'''), a member of the illustrious {{w|Jeronimo Bassano|Bassano family}} of [[music|musicians]] who had been recruited from Venice by {{w|King Henry VIII}} to serve in his court (some have claimed that the Bassanos were of [[Jewish]] origin, but the jury is out). The Chandler family migrated southwest over the generations, passing through North Carolina and Georgia before settling in Alabama, Bob's home state.

John Chandler is the fifth great-grandfather of the Dixiechu Joseph Chandler, and the ninth great-grandfather of Chris.

===Richard Baker===
{{w|Richard Baker (chronicler)|Richard Baker}} (c. 1568 – 18 February 1645) was a politician, historian and religious writer. He was the English author of the ''Chronicle of the Kings of England'' and other works.

He is the 12th great-grandfather of Chris on Bob's mother side.

===Edward, Thomas Palmer & Thomas Overbury===
Thanks to John Chandler's grandson's wife Elizabeth Palmer, Chris's 7th great-grandmother, some Christorians did research about her ancestors. Chris has three known ancestors, two of which are Chris descendent of, and other is distantly related.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-2791</ref><ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-533</ref><ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-229</ref>

Chris is a descendant of his 10th great-grandfather '''{{w|Edward Palmer (d.1624)|Edward Palmer}}''' (c. 1555–1624) from {{w|Gloucestershire}}, England, a gentleman with antiquarian interests who was known for his [[Stamps|extensive collections]] such as Roman coins and is best remembered for purchasing the then unnamed {{w|Garrett Island}} in colony of Virginia (now Maryland) for his plan of establishing university at the island.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-544</ref>

Edward had a son whom Chris is also descendant from. '''{{w|Thomas Palmer (burgess)|Thomas Palmer}}''' settled at Jamestown, Virginia on a boat ''Tyger'' with his wife Joan Jordan and 11 years old daughter Priscilla in November 1621. Shortly after their arrival at Jamestown, the Palmers were nearly killed by the [[Cherokian Clan|Powhatans]] during the {{w|Indian massacre of 1622}}, but survived by living in {{w|Jordan Point, Virginia#Jordan's Journey: Beggars Bush|Jordan's Journey}} shelter residence. Thomas was a captain in command of a company of militia from {{w|Eppes Island|Shirley Hundred Island}} and was a member of {{w|House of Burgesses}} at Jamestown on October 16, 1629.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-229</ref>

Perhaps notably, Thomas was a first cousin of [[Chris_and_writing#Chris_as_a_poet_and_lyricist|poet]] and [[Chris_and_writing#Chris_as_an_essayist|essayist]] '''{{w|Thomas Overbury}}''' through his father's sister Mary Palmer and her husband {{w|Nicholas Overbury}}. Overbury was known for his poem, ''A Wife'', and a victim of murder by poisoning which led to a scandalous trial.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Overbury-10</ref>

=== Sir James Croft ===
Sir {{w|James Croft}} (1518- 4 September 1590) was English politician, who was Lord Deputy of Ireland, and MP for Herefordshire in the Parliament of England, He is Chris 12th great-grandfather on his paternal side.

=== Hugh and Isabel Bardolf ===
[[Image:Chris Anne Boleyn.png|thumb|How Chris is related to Anne Boleyn.]]
'''Hugh Bardolf''' (c. 29 September 1259 - c. 20 September 1304) <ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bardolf-9</ref> and '''Isabel Bardolf''' (born '''Isabel Aguillon'''; c. 25 March 1258 - c. 28 May 1323) <ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Aguillon-5</ref>, Chris' 19th great-grandparents, were a medieval English couple who married in 1281. According to a Redditor's Wikitree research in 2022, they are Chris' most recent shared ancestors with [[Anne Boleyn]] (albeit on his father's side, not his mother's): they gave birth to Thomas (Boleyn's 6th great-grandfather) in 1282, Margery around 1283, William in 1284, and Nicola (Chris' 18th great-grandmother) around 1294. This means that, although Chris is not ''descended'' from Anne Boleyn, he is indeed a distant relative. This is hardly surprising, as all humans are relatives of each other of varying distance.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/ChrisChanSonichu/comments/tedhwz/barb_may_not_have_been_related_to_anne_boleyn_but/</ref><ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Aguillon-5</ref>

In addition to being the source of Chris's distant connection with Anne Boleyn, Hugh Bardolf was the first nobleman of {{w|Baron Bardolf}}, a noble title in the {{w|Peerage of England}}. His wife Isabel was a member of the {{w|Aguillon family}} (of French origin), who were feudal landowners in England. Isabel's father, Sir Robert Aguillon (c. 1226 - 15 February 1286)<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Aguillon-4</ref>, was a Sheriff of Surrey & Sussex County and a keeper of two castles in both counties.

Hugh Bardolf's descendants unite with those of John Chandler (b. 1600) in 1700, when Robert Chandler (John's grandson, 1659 - c. 1720) and his wife Elizabeth Palmer (Hugh's 10th great-granddaughter, b. 1664) give birth to Joseph Chandler (11 Aug 1700 - 11 Oct 1764), Chris' 6th great-grandparent, in {{w|New Kent, Virginia}}.

A stark contrast can be observed in the fact that Hugh's first child is the ancestor of prestigious nobility (namely an Anne Boleyn and actual queen of England, Elizabeth I), while Hugh's fourth and last child is the ancestor of our infamous protagonist.

== Dixiechus ==
"'''Dixiechus'''" is a nickname used by Christorians to describe ancestors of Chris who fought for the {{w|Confederate States of America}} during the {{w|American Civil War}}. It is a portmanteau of ''{{w|Dixie}}'' and ''[[Sonichu]]''. The first Dixiechu to be identified was Joseph Chandler, discovered by Kiwifarms user Meat Pickle on 20 December 2021. The term "Dixiechu" was proposed on the [[Official CWCki Server]] on 24 April 2024, by which point four Dixiechus had been identified.

During the [[Jail Saga]], Chris was asked if he may have had ancestors who fought for the Confederacy, at a time when Joseph Chandler (on his father's side) was the only known Dixiechu. In [[Jail Letter - 25 May 2022]], he denied that his father's ancestors had fought for the Confederacy, but conceded that his mother's ancestors may have done so. In 2024, Christorians discovered William Drury Thompson - a Dixiechu on the maternal side of Chris' ancestry - partially vindicating Chris' statement.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that half of modern-day southerners have ancestors who fought for the Confederacy.<ref>There is no large-scale study of Confederate ancestry to the knowledge of this wiki, but genealogists familiar with this area tend to estimate a ballpark of 40-55%.[https://pastexplore.wordpress.com/2015/05/13/okay-so-you-have-civil-war-ancestors/][https://www.quora.com/What-percentage-of-todays-southern-US-population-actually-have-ancestors-who-fought-for-the-confederacy]</ref> In this light, Chris' Confederate heritage should be seen as reflecting the norm rather than his own eccentricity.

In chronological order from most to least recent death, the Dixiechus include:

=== Joseph Chandler ===
[[File:Joseph chandler.png|thumb|right|150px|Joseph Chandler in 1911]]
'''Joseph Chandler''' (14 April 1832 - January 1925) of {{w|Autauga County, Alabama}} is Chris's great-great-grandfather along his paternal line.

=== Caleb Nelson Headley ===
[[File:CalebHeadley.png|thumb|right|150px|Caleb Headley]]

'''Caleb Nelson Headley''' (1847-1921) was born on the 8th of March 1845 (1846 or 1847 depending on which source) in Darlington County, South Carolina as the only son of Wills Headley and Rebecca Bell, Caleb's father Wills died when he was just 7 years old in 1854, and he was soon taken into the custody of James Huckabee (who would later become his stepfather), who taught the boy farming until he was 21 years old.

In 1863 when he was just 18 years old, he enlisted in the Confederate Army as part of the 63rd Alabama Regiment, Company H (They were also known as Second Alabama Reserve), he took part in fighting in Spanish Fort (he was wounded) and was discharged at his home (he was on furlough at the time) in May of 1865.

Shortly after the end of the war, he settled in Coosa County Alabama, in 1874 he married Caroline Louisa Estes when he was 28 and she was 24 at her father's house in Talladega, Alabama, He would have 8 children from 1874 to 1892 including Martha Headley (Bob's paternal grandmother), Caleb was a farmer for most of his life, in 1898 he attempted to run for a political seat in Alabama State Assembly as a Representative for Chilton County as independent but withdraw and then backed the Populist ticket for that seat.

Caleb would see his health worsen in his later years, he became nearly blind by his late 60s and by 1920 was living with his son Robert E. L Headley. He died on August 21st, 1921 in Shelby County, Alabama at age of 76.

=== William Teer ===
[[File:Willam Teer.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Image of William Teer. (Very likely to be authentic) <ref>This image was uploaded to findagrave in 2016; William Teer was not known to Christorians to be Chris' ancestor in 2016. Family trees from both 2017[https://sonichu.com/cwcki/File:Chris%27s_family_tree_up_to_his_great_great_grandparents.png] and 2019[https://imgur.com/gallery/0BgQLyH] omit the ancestry of Bob's maternal grandmother. Furthermore, his biography on rootsweb uses a similar image.[https://freepages.rootsweb.com/~dougmay/genealogy/Wmteer.htm]</ref>]]
Bob's matrilineal great-grandfather, '''Dr. William Teer''' (March 29, 1837 - October 19, 1919), was born in {{w|Neshoba County, Mississippi}}, and grew up in {{w|Angelina County, Texas}} since he was 10 years old with his seven siblings. The family later relocated to {{w|Hopkins County, Texas|Hopkins County}} outside {{w|Cumby, Texas|Cumby}} in 1860, where he worked as a farmer before enlisting in the army for the Civil War.

In October 1861, aged 24, William and his two brothers James (1830 - 1863) and Wiley (1839 - 1862), enlisted in the Confederate Army in San Antonio. Serving in the 4th Texas Cavalry Regiment, William participated in the {{w|New Mexico campaign}} under {{w|Henry Hopkins Sibley|General Sibley}}. Both of his brothers died during the war; James died at a Union prison camp in Williamsburg, Virginia, in 1863. William and Wiley fought in the battles of {{w|Battle of Valverde|Valverde}} and later to {{w|Battle of Glorietta Pass|Glorietta Pass}}, where in April 1862, Wiley was reportedly "lost or killed" and William suffered serious injuries, including a shattered right arm, a damaged spleen, and later contracting hepatitis (It might be worth reflecting how close Teer was to dying at this point - a slightly different outcome could have prevented all of Christory a century before it began). After the capture of Texas Army's supply wagons by the US Army, they retreated, leaving William and other recovering soldiers at the {{w|Santa Fe, New Mexico|Santa Fe}} hospital before shortly being captured. He was later paroled in May 1862, returning to San Antonio. Due to his injuries and disability, he was honorably discharged from his unit by General {{w|Thomas Green (general)|Thomas Green}} in September 1863 and returned to his home in Cumby, working as a farmer despite his shattered right arm.

William was married four times throughout his life. In December 1862, he married Mary Frances Carraway of Alabama, who passed away in 1867. He then remarried Louisa Frances Spears of Tennesse, in 1868, but that marriage also ended early. In January 1871, he married Nancy Jane Coburn of {{w|Ashley County, Arkansas}}. From this marriage, he had seven children, including Mary Francis Teer, Bob's maternal grandmother and the wife of John James Hollomon. After Nancy's death in 1894, William remarried to Bettie King of {{w|Mount Pleasant, Texas|Mount Pleasant}} in March 1907 at age 70, and this marriage lasted until his death in 1919.

In November 1903, inspired by the nerve damage in his shattered right arm, William established himself as an {{w|osteopath}} doctor in {{w|Tyler, Texas}}, specializing in "Exophthalmic Goitre, Biliary Calculi (Gall Stones) Paralysis, and all Nervous Diseases." He became the president of the State Association of Drugless Doctors of Texas and advocated massaging and other holistic approaches to wellness. As a doctor in Tyler, he was described as a highly respected figure, endorsed by many prominent members of the city's society. After retiring, he resided at the Texas Confederate Home in Austin before moving back to Cumby in 1918, where he later passed away in October 1919 at his youngest daughter's {{w|Miller Grove, Texas|Miller Grove}} home caused by a second paralyzing stroke.

William was mentioned in a book titled "[https://archive.org/details/texanswhoworegra00john| Texans who Wore the Gray (1907)]", written by a Confederate officer, journalist, and author Sidney Smith Johnson (1840-1910). Johnson described William as "a brave Confederate soldier, a man of fine education, and a Christian gentleman."

=== Garnder E. Shearin ===
'''Garnder E. Shearin'''' (1836/1837 - 28 January 1901)<ref>https://digital.ncdcr.gov/Documents/Detail/shearin-gardner-e.-warren-county/1671784</ref><ref>https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-warren-record-gardner-early-shearin/521312/</ref> was a Confederate veteran from North Carolina. He married Martha in 1859. In May 1861, he enlisted in the Confederate army in Warren County, North Carolina, fighting in company B of North Carolina's 30th infantry regiment remaining in service until the end of the war in 1865.

An obituary to him reads: "I was not with him in the army but learned from others, that he was a faithful soldier. My association with him since the war enables me to say I never knew a kinder hearted or monre congenial natured man. Always ready to serve a friend."

He is ancestor of Chris via Barb's side of his ancestry.

=== William Drury Thompson ===
'''William Drury Thompson''' (1814 - 17 May 1862) was a civil war enlistee from North Carolina, although it's unknown which side of the military force, (although there's a record suggesting he's a Confederate enlistee for North Carolina's Infantry 12th Regiment), died during his basic training in Richmond, Virginia due to illnesses, 2 months after enlisting.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/262604729/william-drury-thompson</ref>

He is Chris' great-great-great-grandfather. More specifically, he is the paternal grandfather of the maternal grandmother of Barbara.

=== Rufus Walker ===

'''Rufus Walker''' (1820-1895) was a Confederate soldier who served in Company H and came from Milton, Alabama, located in Autauga County. He became a prisoner of war after being surrendered by Lieutenant General Richard Taylor to Major E.R.S. Canby on May 4, 1865. Rufus was later paroled in Selma in June 1865.<ref>https://38thalabama.com/ndashv-to-zndash.html</ref>

He is Chris' great-great-great-grandfather, with the lineage as follows: Rufus Walker (1820-1895) > Mary Elizabeth Walker (1840-1887) > Joseph Chandler (1871-1947) > Robert F. Chandler Sr. (1906-1977) > Robert ("[[Bob]]") F. Chandler Jr. (1927-2011) > Chris

==Ancestry.com content==
In [[January 2017]], a distant relative of Chris posted images to Kiwi Farms, on various documents relating to the Chandler family, acquired from Ancestry.com<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/interesting-info-about-chriss-family-particularly-their-parents.27521/</ref>

{{quotebox|Bob is apparently an only child, however Barbara has five deceased siblings and several more living ones.}}
{{quotebox|Most of Chris's ancestors were [[RandomSong1|farmers]], doing tasks that Chris would find back breaking.}}
{{quotebox|Chris, from what I gathered, is not 1/16 Cherokian. He is however 1/16 British and 1/8 French Canadian.}}
{{quotebox|His great great grandparent's from Northern Ireland.}}
The "Northern Irish" ancestor was Chris's great-great-grandmother Mary Weston (née McClintic, 31 Oct 1834 - 25 Dec 1910). Mary was born in the town of {{w|Omagh}} (whose name means "the [[Virgin with Rage|virgin]] plain" in Gaelic) in County [[niggos|Tyrone]], in what is today {{w|Northern Ireland}}. She came to the United States between 1840 and 1850, likely as a result of the {{w|Irish Potato Famine}}.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/22502739/joseph-mcclintock</ref> She settled in Augusta, Ohio, where she married Joseph "John" Edward Weston, Chris's great-great-grandfather, in 1858, who was also from Augusta. Both later settled in {{w|Clarksville, Virginia}}.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/24279732/mary-weston</ref>

The "French Canadian" ancestor was Chris's great-grandmother Sarah Ann Weston (née {{w|Clan Hamilton|Hamilton}}, Apr 1867 - 25 Jan 1938), who was born in [[wikipedia:Huntingdon, Quebec|Huntingdon]], {{w|Quebec}} and came to Virginia with her family during the 1870s, settling near Red Oak.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/35318370/sarah-jane-weston</ref><ref>https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/6823228286:62476</ref> Although the majority of Quebeckers speak French, her surname and the fact that she was born in a predominantly English-speaking part of Quebec suggest that she belonged to the province's English-speaking minority. Moreover, her paternal and maternal grandparents were all born in [[Tito Got No Luck Against We Brits, Irish and Scots!|Scotland]], making her of entirely Scottish descent.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/249266361/jane-hamilton</ref><ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/249027191/daniel-hamilton</ref> Sarah is Chris's most recent immigrant ancestor.

Rocky Shoemaker

{{quote|Rocky offers me advice for most general things for counsoling [sic]. I can't say all of the things she has helped me with off of the top of my head, aside from the recent thinking of myself as [[slow-in-the-minds|retarded]]|Chris explains how Rocky helps him<ref>[[Jackie E-mails 22]]</ref>}}

[[File:Chris and Rocky 2018.jpg|thumb|Rocky Shoemaker with Chris in [[2018]], during a meeting the [[Guard Dogs]] had arranged.]]

'''The Rev. Rochelle "Rocky" Shoemaker''' is a retired, uncertified pastoral counselor (actual title - '''"Assistant Pastor for Care Ministries"'''; born 15 June 1948<ref>[https://clustrmaps.com/person/Shoemaker-3nuse1 Phonebook]</ref><ref>[https://www.pinterest.com/revrocky48/ Her Pinterest]</ref>) from the [[Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church]], who has advised [[Chris]] on several matters since [[2008]], even though she was never qualified to deal with a mentally disturbed individual such as Chris.

[[File:Rockypicture.JPG|thumb|left]]
According to Chris, Rocky was in her 40s during [[2010]], and has a son that works for {{w|Rockstar Games}}.<ref>[[Jackie_E-mails_8]]</ref>

On 11 September 2008, after [[nudes]] of his were leaked to the internet by a [[Trolls#Lordsillynipples|troll who deceived him]], Chris sent to his Reverend Elizabeth Foss an email in which he told her about his foolish acts and asked her to forgive him. Five days later, Elizabeth replied and referred Chris to the church's new pastoral counselor, Rocky Shoemaker,<ref>[[Chris emails 2008#September]]</ref> beginning her role in Chris's life.

In the [[BlueSpike Skype Logs 6]], Chris mentioned that he asked Rocky to help him find volunteer work that would pay him, and also wouldn't cause him to lose his [[Social Security]].

Rocky recommended to Chris the children's book ''[[How to Talk to Girls]]'' after he asked for help on the [[Love Quest]].<ref>[[CWC with Bible - Leviticus]]</ref>

In [[March 2009]], Rocky started interacting with Chris more. She encouraged him to leave the internet and stop making videos, leading to the video [[YouTube Finale]].<ref name="Ivy">[[Ivy Q&A]]</ref>

[[Joshua Martinez]], a.k.a. [[Vanessa Hudgens]], tried to swindle some money out of Chris by trading him a [[PSP]]. After that, Shoemaker made [[Bob Chandler|Bob]] and [[Barbara Chandler|Barb]] contact the cops. The agreement was that the cops would only be involved in the Joshua matters, as they were dealing with the trolls on their own terms. However, Rocky blindsided Bob and Barb and brought up [[Ivy]] and other trolls with the cops. She even had them try to find Ivy and even managed to get a background check on her and came up with nothing.<ref name="Ivy"></ref>

In a [[IRC (23 July 2009)|July 2009 IRC Chat]], Chris, believing that he had entered the chat incognito (although the trolls had in fact instantly seen through his false identity), suggested that the trolls force him to [[Chris and sex|rape]] Rocky. Rocky herself is aware that Chris said this. The fact that she did not kick him out of the church on the spot speaks volumes about her patience.

According to Chris, it was Rocky and her husband who bailed the Chandlers out of jail following the events of [[28 October 2011]].<ref>[[28 October 2011#Chris's story]]</ref> Rocky also helped put the Chandlers in touch with their defense attorney, Mr. [[Rob Bell]], a fellow Methodist.

In [[December 2011]], a troll posing as court-appointed psychiatrist "Dr. Perron" called Rocky asking for information on Chris. While she initially was skeptical, repeatedly saying that she wanted authorization from the court, she eventually became convinced and gave new information about Chris.<ref>[[Rocky Shoemaker call]]</ref> This included the supposed infestation problem in [[14 Branchland Court]] that played a part in [[Bob Chandler|Bob]]'s death.

According to [[Marvin]], Rocky was the cameraperson in [[CWC Lego Manchester High School Oct 18 2013]].

In 2018, during the aftermath of the [[Idea Guys]] saga, the [[Guard Dogs]] advised Chris to talk to Rocky about the situation, hoping it would help expedite an official investigation into the alleged extortion by the Idea Guys. However, upon talking to Chris, Rocky advised him to seek [[therapy]] in lieu of escorting him to the police to file a report.<ref>[[The Chris-Chan Extortionists]]</ref>

Rocky retired from the church in summer 2018.<ref>According to [https://web.archive.org/web/20180415000000*/http://wesleymumc.org/church-staff archives of the church website], Rocky was listed as a staff member in June 2018, but no longer in July.</ref>

According to part 5 of ''[[The Chris Chan Conspiracy]]'', Rocky visited Chris while he was held in [[Central Virginia Regional Jail]] on his [[August 2021]] [[incest]] charge. On 14 [[March 2025]], when asked if he has talked to her, Chris replied "No, I haven't talked with Rocky a long time. I'm certain she's doing okay."<ref>[[Jesus Christ Chan - Sonic 2006 Speed Run]]</ref> The two statements do not necessarily contradict each other: by March 2025, Chris had been out of Central Virginia Regional Jail for 3 years.

Death threats

2025-04-02T09:46:10Z

Mangolover887: /* Donald Trump */

{{Honest}}

{{quote|You Haters MAY Laugh At Yourselves Now, but you all will be laughing out the other side of your face when Fate, Destiny and Karma smacks you Hard and Rough. Even Possible, I’ll have a tangible lightning bolt in my hand, and we’ll see if you survive being Paralyzed or worse.|Chris's reaction to the pizza prank trolls<ref name=pizza>[[August 2019 social media posts#Chris caused a fender-bender and kicked a cop car; discovers he's blacklisted from Papa Johns]]</ref>.}}

[[Image:Claw of fail 2.jpg|thumb|An evil man,[[Claw of Fail|with evil hands]], who is [[Slow-in-the-minds|plotting evil deeds]].]]

Despite his [[Messiah complex|belief]] that he is a compassionate, [[GodJesus]]-fearing person (or a loving goddess), Chris often goes on about how much he hates someone or wants someone to suffer. In these rants, Chris occasionally crosses the line and lets slip the fact that he honestly wants someone to die as horribly as possible. While it's clear that Chris is no legitimate threat to anyone's life, the murderous revenge fantasies he has are frequently disturbing in their nature, especially for the often juvenile motivation for such threats. These '''death threats''' have become increasingly common since [[2009]].

Due to [[Affair with Mother|recent events]], it is unlikely that Chris will be publishing any more death threats in the foreseeable future.

==Means of delivery==
On a few occasions, Chris has dedicated special time and energy to immortalize his desire to kill in his [[comic]]. In these works, the person Chris wishes to destroy is often depicted as a purely evil villain, hellbent on the destruction of our innocent man-child hero. While these are much more noticeable than his other threats, they are also more infrequent, as Chris is lazy and often unwilling to dedicate the time and energy to hurting his enemies in fiction. This list does not include real people who have been fictionalized and then assaulted by Chris in the comics, but rather, actual people who Chris has actually threatened.

The majority of Chris's cries for blood were delivered via [[YouTube]] videos. Compared to murdering somebody in a comic, shouting into a [[camera]] is very easy, and it allows Chris much more opportunity to scream and shout like the child he is. Lately, however, his preferred method of delivery seems to be [[Facebook]], and he has even gone a step beyond what he usually does by trying to post pictures and the personal information of his targets, almost as if he expects the trolls to suddenly take his side and go after them instead of him. ''('''Spoiler:''' They won't.)''

==Targets==
Either Chris's store of [[rage]] has steadily accumulated over years of trolling, or he's simply grown desensitized to the implications of calling for another person's death. While it was once a very rare occurrence for Chris to threaten or call for the death of his enemies, towards the end of [[2009]] and early [[2010]] Chris began screaming for murderous vengeance and penning elaborate, violent fantasies in the pages of his comic on a frighteningly regular basis.

===[[Adam Stackhouse]]===
One of Chris's earliest and broadest death threats targeted Adam Stackhouse, the winner of [[Chop Chop Master Onion's Rap Showdown]] in [[2007]]. Chris's primary complaint was that Adam's video featured his sister Anna (Anna Stackhouse, not to be confused with [[Anna McLerran]]) in a supporting role, along with some beatboxing (neither of which was actually against the rules). He also had similar complaints about the second and third-placed videos, and so wrote a [[PSN Blogs|PSN Blog]] entry which included the following:

{{Quote|I curse those seven people (between the cast of the three illegal videos) to '''DIE and BURN!'''|Chris's idea of a calm response to disappointment.}}

By itself, this could be written off as a pathetic outburst from a [[virgin with rage]], but Chris wasn't content to leave it at that; he elevated it to an actual death threat by creating [[CWC is Angry|a video]], the first two minutes of which featured nothing but Chris repeatedly shooting a picture of the Stackhouses. Whether or not the threats towards Adam (and the second and third-place contestants) were taken seriously, many felt that he was crossing the line by bringing Anna (who is considerably younger than Adam or Chris) into the matter, which is probably why he eventually removed the video from [https://sonichu.com/cwcki/YouTube YouTube].

In a rare display of conscience, Chris actually [[Chris Chan Update 24 September 2008|retracted and apologized]] for this death threat...about thirteen months after he first issued it. The offending blog entry was deleted by a PSN admin after Chris responded to an earlier request to remove it himself by telling the admin in question to "SHUT UP AND GO READ THE OFFICIAL RULES!!!!" (earning himself a temporary ban from PSN in the process).

===[[Jack Thaddeus]]===
On [[Christmas]] Day [[2009]], Chris uploaded a video aptly titled "[[Kill De Jack]]", making public his great desire for Jack to die. So much for goodwill towards men. Oddly, he never actually physically demanded that Jack be murdered in the course of the video, spending most of his time bitching about the [[homos]]exual ads that Jack had placed on the [[CWCipedia]].

{{Quote|And to go back to the current topic, '''Kill de Jack Thaddeus'''.|Chris, [[Download For Play Only|changing topics]].}}

Chris verbally stated his intent to murder Jack on 26 [[December 2009]]. Then on the 27th Chris uploaded another [[To Clyde and Jack.MOV|video]], where he switched it up by demanding that Jack save Chris the trouble, and kill ''himself''. These demands that Jack and [[Clyde]] murder themselves soon became the norm, showing up in videos, [[CWC Blog#28 December 2009|blog entries]], and scattered about on the [[CWCipedia]]. Needless to say, Jack continued to refuse to kill himself.

Unable to slay his enemy in the real world, Chris returned to his old revenge proxy--[[Sonichu (comic)|the ''Sonichu'' comics]]. In [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], Chris trapped Jack and Clyde on top of the [[4-cent_garbage.com]] building and then assaulted it with powerful soundwaves. This compromised the building's structural integrity, and effectively doomed everyone inside it to death and dismemberment. Jack and Clyde, unable to escape the crumbling tower, opted to throw themselves down the elevator shaft to escape being crushed under the rubble. These pages prove once and for all that Chris is more than willing to slaughter hundreds just to get back at someone who was mean to him on the Internet.

===[[Jason Kendrick Howell]]===
[[Image:Bigboss.JPG|thumb|Jason bleeding to death on the cold ground.]]

The creator of the [[Encyclopedia Dramatica|ED]] page that brought Chris into the limelight has been the target of Chris's impotent cries for blood several times. The most notable instance of this is in [[Sonichu 8#Episode 17: "Rage Against the Garbage"|''Sonichu'' #8]], where Chris depicted him being brutally slashed, electrocuted, and ''faceraped'' by [[Rosechu]]. It even gets stated outright that the assault was fatal, and that the only reason Jason was alive was due to "dark powers." Whether these powers are Jason's own psychic ability or some malevolent force that merely wishes to see Jason suffer longer, is left ambiguous.

Chris also tried to play the [[True and Loyal Fanbase#Personal army|personal army]] game against him with [[Attention All Sonichu Fans (NOT HATERS)|a video]]. While most of the message fell in line with the general "please troll this person instead of me" lines, one passage, in particular, stands out from the rest.

{{Quote|Shower him with as much hate as possible until that Encyclopedia Dramatica page is taken down, '''along with him'''.|Chris subtly expressing his desire for Jason to stop existing.}}

Also notable is the time Chris attempted to involve [[GodJesus]] in his murder plot. [[Chris and religion|They have yet to respond]].

{{quote|I PRAY TO GOD AND JESUS TO KILL JASON KENDRICK HOWELL|Chris-chan, [[Sonichu Girls]] forum}}

And who can forget the phone call Jason received after [[Sonichu.net]] was hacked by someone Chris thought was him?

{{quote|[[Jason Kendrick Howell message|I'LL BREAK YOU DEAD]]!|Chris}}

Although Jason did create the original ED page, he has never had a particularly active role in tormenting Chris, choosing (like most of us) to simply enjoy the show. As such, while Chris has never really "forgiven" him, threats against Jason have essentially ceased as Chris shifts his focus to more immediate threats.

{{Quote|'''[[Song of Christian#Part 2|EEEEEEENNNNNNNNGH!]] I'LL STRANGLE THAT CLYDE CASH! I WILL...POUND HIS LIGHTS OUT! IF I EVER MEET THAT BASTARD...IN PERSON.'''|Chris, [[CWC Update!!!!! 27 March 2009|while smiling evilly]].}}

The undisputed leader and hero of all of Chris's [[trolls]], Clyde Cash has been on the receiving end of his fair share of death threats. The sheer hatred Chris holds for Clyde is impressive in its own right. With the other trolls, Chris has at least tried to appear subtle about his dark intentions or kept his demands for their deaths relatively infrequent. Where Clyde is concerned, Chris is extremely upfront and clear about his desire to murder Cash. Even Clyde faking his own suicide was not enough to escape Chris's wrath.

{{Quote|CLYDE DO YOU HEAR ME?! YOU ARE DEAAAD! YOU ARE DEAD! '''YOU ARE DEAD!'''|Chris, [[Take that Page DOWN NOW!|somewhat angry]].}}

Thereafter, Chris's cries for Clyde's blood took on much more serious undertones. While his earlier threats of strangulation and being forced to eat his own underwear were done with no apparent attempt to follow through on his dark words, more recent threats have come with demands that Clyde should come and face Chris in person, so that Chris might physically extract his revenge. It could be inferred by this that Chris has indeed planned out [[DIRTY, CRAPPED BRIEFS|exactly what his course of action would be if Clyde did suddenly show up at his front door.]]

{{Quote|You come to me. I will fight you! I will CRUSH YOU!|Chris, [[Challenge for Clyde|asking for a fight]].}}

Chris posted [[Don't Mess With Me| another video]] in which he roleplayed encountering Clyde Cash in real life. Upon being insulted by 'Clyde', Chris proceeded to pretend to beat up, choke, and finally slit the throat of the imaginary Clyde with [[pocket knife|a real knife]], intended as an ominous warning to other trolls.

Chris's threats against Clyde culminated in a video where he, dressed as [[You Think You're a Man|Divine]], [[DivineTrial|ordered his execution]], with a Shadow the Hedgehog doll standing in for the "Cashey-type person".

Finally, there's the matter of Clyde's family. It's not enough for Chris to merely murder Clyde. Chris has shown that he feels the entire Cash family line is just as deserving of his rage as Clyde, and has stated this outright. The fact that this is essentially a small-scale act of ''genocide'' has apparently not occurred to him.

{{Quote|THIS IS FOR CLYDE CASH TO EVERY LAST ONE OF HIS FAMILY MEMBERS INCLUDING HIS COUSIN [[Vivian Gee|VIVIAN]]!|Chris, immediately before [[Sign Destruction Video|sinking [[Fangs|his teeth]] into a doll's head]].}}

===[[Liquid Chris]]===
[[Ian Brandon Anderson]] made a number of videos raging against [[Liquid Chris|the real Chris]], but he didn't cross over into death threat territory until after Liquid declared himself the victor of the [[SingStar Challenge]].

{{Quote|'''DIIIIIIIIIEEEEE YOU!!'''|Ian, [[NO D*** WAY, IMPOSTOR!!!|eloquently expressing his disapproval]].}}

[[Image:BustACap.jpg|thumb|Ian's solution to boyfriends.]]

Ian's murderous tendencies showed up again in [[Rescuing Kacey From Christian W Chandler]]. In the video, Ian manages to twist a game made for children of all ages into a tool to spread his hatred, as he breaks into Liquid's home and shoots him. Due to the limitations of the game, this is accomplished with a paint gun, but what happens next makes his true intent all too clear.

In a stunning display of unoriginality, Ian reused exactly the same plotline for [[Sonichu Special 4]]. In this comic, Ian depicts Liquid as a knife-wielding villain who kidnaps [[Kacey]]. Upon arriving to "rescue" her, Ian produces a handgun ([[Megatron pistol|possibly Decepticon leader Megatron in disguise]]), shoots Liquid in both his shins and leaves him to bleed to death. When [[Kacey]] [[Kacey and Liquid Call|expressed horror]] at the fact that he wanted to kill her boyfriend, Ian missed the point about why she was so upset. He told her that he could re-draw the comic and that such shots were meant to keep Liquid from chasing them, completely avoiding the issue that want to shoot someone or permanently cripple them is off-putting. Ian also tried to justify this with the fact that Comic-Liquid was coming at him with a knife, and didn't seem to comprehend the real source of Kacey's shock: she wasn't angry at [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|Comic-Chris]] for defending himself (albeit in a cowardly way) so much as she was angry at Real-Chris for constructing a fantasy in which he could justify maiming and permanently crippling her boyfriend, and be completely in the right about it.

===Vivian Gee===
Afraid that Vivian would not understand the "fury of [his] wrath", Chris [[Sign Destruction Video|opted to use a visual aid]]. He accomplished this with a [[Clown Doll]] and a broken piece of wood.

{{Quote|NOW WATCH WHAT I DO WITH THIS AS I WILL DO TO VIVIAN GEE IF SHE DOES NOT S- TAKE DOWN EVERY LAST ONE OF [[Audiobooks|HER VIDEOS]] AND CLOSES HER YOUTUBE ACCOUNT!|Chris, expressing his desire to stab an innocent woman to death.}}

While there is an obvious difference between attacking a person and a doll, the sight of a grown man taking such obvious joy in the idea of violently killing a woman is disturbing nonetheless. The video also includes a threat against every single member of Vivian's family (including her cousin, [[Clyde Cash]]), though it's not clear if he actually wishes to kill them, or just beat them up and bite off their hats.

[[Image:YouDieTodayBitch.PNG|thumb|A friendly letter from Chris.]]

Vivian revealed in a now-deleted YouTube video that Chris also took a more direct approach to threaten her death. On 1 [[September 2009]] he actually sent her an e-mail directly demanding that she get a heart attack and pass away immediately. Fortunately, Chris [[CWC Update 7 July 2009|does not have the Death Note]], and Vivian survived.

{{Quote|D, Vivian G, D!|Chris, [[Chris dispels videogame rumors|13 September 2009]]}}

Chris later apologized for the threatening message. While the apology was more like begging for [[Financhu_Crisis|money]] than a genuine show of [[Chris and remorse|remorse]], it's possible that he realized that personally sending people death threats could actually get you in serious trouble and was making an attempt at damage control.

===Alec Benson Leary===
While Chris has no problem calling Sonichu a [[parody]] in a misguided effort to [[Chris and copyright|avoid copyright infringement]] and create a moneymaking franchise, when someone ''actually'' parodies Sonichu or any of his other creations, [[Chris and hypocrisy|he goes right off the deep end]]. Alec Benson Leary is the gentle and kind creator of [[Asperchu]], which is effectively a parody of Sonichu himself as well as Chris's hatred of everything Asperger's and "seemingly" homosexual. For a few weeks after the comic's debut, Chris ignored Asperchu, regarding it as nothing more than a simple parody. Soon enough, however, many of his fans began abandoning Sonichu for Asperchu, and announcing their intentions in his [[Mailbag]].

On January 9, 2010, the first [[Captain's Log]] of that year, Chris [[Down with asperchu|called out Alec Benson Leary]] after advertisements for the Asperchu wiki (the [[Asperpedia]]) started showing up on the CWCipedia (replacing the homoerotic ads that had been an earlier source of turmoil). Not amused with the new ads or his Sonichu's appearance in the comics, Chris started raging out.

{{Quote|DIE, you son of a bitch, Alec, die!|Chris, being Chris as usual.}}

Alec represents the first time Chris has ever issued a public death threat to someone who had shown him respect. While most of the other individuals Chris has threatened have been antagonistic towards him, all of Alec's public communications up to that point had been a combination of respect and admiration. The only reason Chris had to hate Alec was the fact that his character is [[obesity|overweight]] and his website runs on the same MediaWiki software. A few days later, Chris claimed that he knew where Alec lived in the description to one of his [[12 January 2010|videos]]. Fortunately for Alec, it was just another lie.

While delivering an in-depth analysis of [[Asperchu is a Horrendous Joke|Asperchu]], Chris threatened to have the ghost of his dog [[Patti Chandler|Patti]] maul Alec to death in his sleep in hell. It is unclear if he realizes he implied Patti Chandler is in hell. Alec has responded to this most recent threat by using his ad space on the [[CWCipedia]] to ask people to donate to victims of the {{w|2010 Haiti earthquake|earthquake in Haiti}}. Clearly, Alec is just as horrible a man as Chris claims him to be. Chris finally took his hatred of Alec to its conclusion in late February, slaughtering him in ''Sonichu'' #10 alongside Sean, Evan, and Mao.

===Evan, Mao and Sean===
[[Image:SchuComic10P91.jpg|thumb|"BLOOD AND GORE!"]]

Chris included [[Evan]] and [[Mao]], two of Leary's partners in the creation of [[Asperpedia]], in another threat against Alec's life. Evan was most likely singled out because of his campaign to have [[Simonchu|his character]] removed from Chris's comic. Mao, on the other hand, has done nothing to Chris other than be a good friend to Alec. On 1 [[February 2010]] a reversing twist of the situation appeared over the use of the ad space on [[CWCipedia]]. Mao was set on the receiving end of a [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha]] and then was asked to [[Address to Mao, the S.O.B.|"Take down the ads! Or prematurely ROT!"]] while, on the other side, Evan and Alec [[Apologies to Alec and Evan|received apologies]] for the death threats with a [[Chris and remorse#Motivation to apologize|hint of reciprocity]] for the management of the ads on Chris's wiki. This is all taken back when Chris tells them along with Alec and Sean to [[9 February 2010|"rot... in... HELL!!!"]]

{{quote|My amends have been made.|Chris, failing at respect and basic [[Chris and English|English]] after an unjust trial resulting in torture and execution.}}

Despite originally "having less offense" with Sean, Chris demonstrated considerable rage later on, threatening [[15 January 2010|to beat him]] and curse him. However, he refrained from crossing into death threat territory until [[Sonichu 10]] - wherein he drew the dazed and confused artist attempting to defend himself in court, despite [[Chris and the law|totally unsubstantial "mental evidence" extracted from his mind being used against him.]] Then, approximately one page after finishing his [[Chris and remorse|apology]], he summarily [[Chris and death|executes all four of the poor bastards.]] While doing so, he has each of the extremely biased "victims" take part, including a toddler, and Chris himself. (Of note is that Chris literally [[Rage|depicts himself tearing out Mao's heart.]])

===[[Cogsdev]]===
A vague death threat was given when Chris discovered the [[CWCki]] on 11 [[March 2010]], [http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Template:Featured_Quote&curid=40&diff=4006&oldid=4005 where Chris claimed] "there will be trouble upon that Person directly from Me" unless every page about his sweethearts was removed by 12 March 2010. He later [http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Template:Featured_Quote&diff=next&oldid=4006 extended the deadline] to remove all traces of his sweethearts to 31 March 2010. This is due to Chris [[Wallflower#Anonymity|once again]] believing he was responsible for something becoming inaccessible on the Internet. His threat to [[Cogsdev|her]] was clarified in this extension, in which he said "The deadline is March 31, 2010, 11:59 PM, [[Chris and English|Easter]] Standard Time. Do it, or there WILL be trouble. I am [[Pocket knife|Armed]] after all." This threat was realized when Chris created an [[User:GodofThunderGodofWar|account]] on the CWCki, and proceeded to [[List of Chris's edits to the CWCki|fail at vandalism]].

Chris's threats were directed at the webmaster of the CWCki, but he never realized both the CWCki and the CWCipedia had the same webmaster.

===[[Surfshack Tito (troll)|Surfshack Tito]]===
On 2 [[March 2010]], after Surfshack Tito hacked into Chris's PSN account, he weakly threatened that (Tito) would "[[Patti|get yours in your dreams- your- in your nightmares]]", while also firing a [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha|Curse Shot]]. Twelve days later, in his video "[[Tito Got No Luck Against We Brits, Irish and Scots!]]", he threatens Tito with his [[pocket knife]] and a [[Homos|panty shot in a kilt]]. Chris believed that Tito was the main reason [[The Wallflower]] stopped talking to him; the actual cause for their separation was partly due to concerned trolls and partly due to Chris's refusal to be "[[friend zone|friend-zoned]]". In either case, Chris's threat did not work; instead, he offended [[Cogsdev|countless]] [[User:Great Briton|citizens]] of Scotland and the United Kingdom in the same way he offended [[Cherokian Clan|Native Americans]] in his [[War Paint Video]].

On 17 [[March 2010]], Chris made his most threatening video yet: in it, he accused Surfshack Tito of being the [[Man in the Pickle Suit]], a womanizer, and a rapist; called him a nigger; and promised to cut him up and squeeze his fat into his skull until it bursts open. This blatant display of racism is generally considered to be the event that prompted Jack Thaddeus to pull all of his ads from the [[CWCipedia]]. The CWCipedia was then taken over by Mao, allowing the Asperpedia Four to totally wreck Chris's shit.

===[[Lars McNulty]]===
On 25 September 2010, Chris unleashed his anger against Lars, Jackie's ex-[[JERKS|boyfriend]] by smashing a model boat made of [[LEGO]] symbolizing the Titanic with a figurine named "Lars" aboard. Two days later, Chris addressed to Lars a [[New Address|second video]] in which he claimed that he would [[CWC Fighter|"interfere"]] if Lars didn't [[Chris and hypocrisy|grow up]] and leave Jackie alone. He ended the video by throwing another toy boat to the ceiling.

===[[Michael Snyder]]===

On 13 February 2011, Chris released the [[Autism Tutorial]] levels in ''LBP2''. In part three of the series, a rant about Mary Lee Walsh segues into a death threat directed towards Michael Snyder, in which Chris expresses his wish that [[The GAMe PLACe]] would catch fire and burn down, killing Michael in the process.

The infamous [http://imgur.com/a/1HYJJ Imgur leak] would also reveal multiple wishes made by Chris that Michael should die, including one where he wished Snyder was murdered by gunshot.

===Mimms' Girlfriend===
{{quote|I still want to make Mimms' life the emotional hell he has turned my life into. Somebody, please, kill his girlfriend.|A leaked [[Twitter]] post from 12 [[May 2012]].}}

An archive of his hidden Facebook posts on Imgur revealed an enraged Chris demanding that somebody kill Mimms' girlfriend, claiming that he wanted to take away the "[[Women's rights|possession]]" that made Mimms feel happy the most.

===[[Megan Schroeder]]===
A [http://i.imgur.com/mBFcon9.png leaked Facebook post] revealed that Chris thought Megan was "Queen of the trolls", and that he wanted to "exact his fullest revenge" upon her, right before saying that she should be [[Sonichu_10#Trial_of_the_Asperpedia_Four|jailed and beaten]]. He then follows up this very mean-spirited post by calling ''her'' "vile" and "wicked".

===[[CWCki Forums]]===

On 28 April 2012, Chris made the declaration that he found the CWCki Forums, that he knows where each member lives, and that he'll come after each of them.

===[[Mal-Wart|Walmart]] [[CWC-isms|"Lady Manajerk"]]===

After getting his ass [[Mal-Wart#Banished_from_the_region|(rightfully) tossed from Wal-Mart]] by the [[manajerks|manajerk]], Chris threw a tantrum on Facebook, saying that he'll have revenge and that she would be "FIRED FROM LIFE!"

===Every Single Employee of Sega===
{{Main|Sonic Boom Protests}}

Even the creators of Chris's childhood hero are not safe from death threats. You might think this was because of one (or more) of their horribly underwhelming Sonic games of recent years, but no- Chris made this threat because the 2014 game ''Sonic Boom'' (and the accompanying TV series) changed the color of Sonic's arms from tan to blue.

{{Quote|You Either Recall EVERYTHING of the new Sonic Boom, RIGHT NOW, or I will Seriously RIP HIS ARMS OFF and Seriously '''Watch You All At SEGA DIE''' from this most Heinous Of Crimes EVER!!!|Chris, in a typical demonstration of where his priorities are.}}

Oh, and in case you're wondering whose arms Chris was threatening to possibly rip off, the [[Facebook]] post which contained this death threat was accompanied by a shot of an angry Chris holding a soft toy Sonic based on the ''Sonic Boom'' design. Needless to say, many of his Facebook friends, including [[William Elliott Waterman]], immediately called him out for this absurd overreaction, to no avail. The following month, Chris escalated matters by posting the following to the "[[Keep Sonic Original]]" Facebook group:

{{Quote|WE NEED TO KILL SEGA INTO RECALLING EVERYTHING NOW!!! EVEN IF WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE PUT KNIVES AND BOMBS TO THEIR TROATS!!!|What happens when Chris doesn't get his way.}}

Not surprisingly, Chris was ejected from the group almost immediately. Undeterred, he set up [[FIX SONIC'S ARMS IMMEDIATELY, SEGA!!!|his own group]], where he began making cryptic remarks about putting his "fingernails to Sega's throat." When others questioned him on what exactly he was talking about, he confirmed that yes, this was truly ''another'' death threat:

{{Quote|But, now I am looking to '''slit their throats''' with my long fingernails to force the Total Recall of Everything Sonic Boom to Fix the Mistake to happen SOONER!|Chris, revealing his unusual choice of assassination weapons.}}

Sega never reacted to Chris's demands, not that this stopped him from continuing his ''Sonic Boom'' protests, and even [[26 December 2014|escalating them]] to previously unseen levels.

On 9 [[June 2015]], Chris threatened Sega producer [[Omar Woodley]] with physical violence after it was revealed that ''Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice'' will be a thing.

===Donald Trump===
Chris has an intense hatred of President [[Pmurt|Donald Trump]], to the point that he made two videos of himself role-playing acts of violence on him with ''[[Transformers]]'' and ''[[My Little Pony]]'' toys,<ref>[[September 2016 Paid Video Requests#Paid Message to the Trolls]]</ref><ref>[[Something Completely Different - A few Transformers Jokes, also anti-Pmurt]]</ref> while saying phrases such as "And now, we'll stomp Donald Trump's head".

Within hours of Trump's victory in the 2016 presidential election, Chris posted an [[November_2016_Facebook_posts#Chris_wants_Trump_assassinated|assassination request]] on Facebook. He also uploaded a [[Eid, Pmurt, Eid|video]] of himself attacking one of his toys to show his anger.

It should be noted that calling death on the President of the United States is actually a major offense that can lead to you [http://mashable.com/2016/03/08/secret-service-trump-threats-twitter/#3Y_MJojwhPqB getting a visit from the Secret Service].

===Mike Pence===
On 10 November 2016, Chris also wished death to Vice President-elect {{w|Mike Pence}}, likely because he discovered his views can be arguably considered more malicious than Trump's, along with the President-elect Trump on [[Twitter#10 November 2016.3|a Twitter post]]. He wished for Trump and Pence's deaths by January 2017.

===[[Idea Guys]]===
On 4 July 2019, Chris expressed his impotent frustrations over the Idea Guys' actions from the year before:

{{quotebox|Realizing that it Had been quite, quite the while since I resumed a few days ago and when I ended up stopping in [[Sonichu 15|book 15]], thanks to the events involving Idea Guy and Johnson Wiles, I ended up messing up on [[Rosechu|Rosie]]’s young and short bosoms (I could KILL them Both after they, and Boyd, extorted Six Frigging Thousand Dollars from me during those developmental and Very Eventful Months, IN FULL, Plus Interest!).<ref>[[July 2019 social media posts#Patreon Post: From Start to Recent]]</ref>}}

===Pizza prank trolls===
On 5 August 2019, Chris was inconvenienced by his address being blacklisted from Papa John's pizza delivery service as a result of incessant prank calls from trolls. He wrote an angry tirade to the culprits in which he invoked his [[CPU Blue Heart]] goddess fantasies:

{{quotebox|You Haters MAY Laugh At Yourselves Now, but you all will be laughing out the other side of your face when Fate, Destiny and Karma smacks you Hard and Rough. Even Possible, I’ll have a tangible lightning bolt in my hand, and we’ll see if you survive being Paralyzed or worse.<ref name=pizza></ref>}}

===Characters from Pony Life cartoon===
During [[November 2019]], Hasbro premiered a promo of a spin-off [[My Little Pony]] cartoon titled ''Pony Life'', as a replacement for the long-running ''Friendship is Magic''. An upset Chris complained bitterly, saying he was "Protesting to kill #GOPony."<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1195861845451722752</ref> As Chris believes cartoon characters are real in another [[dimension]] - and, in [[hypocrisy]], has warned Hasbro that ending ''Friendship is Magic'' would devastate that universe<ref>[[Hasbro! MLP G4 Must Continue; NO MLP G5]]</ref> - his announcement is tantamount to death threats against the inhabitants from ''Pony Life''.

===Other===
====[[Harry Potter]]====
Chris's extreme, irrational hatred of the series combined with [[Chris and reality#Fictional Characters and Media|his belief that fictional characters exist on a separate plane of reality]] eventually led him to [[:File:100-DarkCWC.jpg|threaten to kill Harry Potter]] through a Pokémon card.

Given his desire to kill Harry and his [[Chris and race|beliefs on race]], it could be inferred that Chris is a {{w|Death Eater}}.

==Chris as a recipient==
Chris said he allegedly received a death threat ("YOU'RE DEAD! YOU'RE DEAD!") from [[Michael Snyder]] on 4 [[June 2010]]. Given that Chris was trespassing at the GAMe PLACe again, and that Mike was under the impression that Chris was trying to [[pedofork|photograph his daughter]], this outburst seems fairly reasonable. Chris responded very negatively to this threat, [[Chris and hypocrisy|bitching about the "verbal harassment"]] in his next [[6 June 2010|video]].

Earlier, during the [[Ivy]] saga, Chris received a death threat from a Clyde Cash impersonator. Despite all of his tough talk, Chris was completely paralyzed by fear and actually [[DIRTY, CRAPPED BRIEFS|shat his bed]] in terror. Before Ivy could convince him that the threat was an empty one, he had placed a decoy in his soiled bed and hidden it under a pile of stuffed animals, as if he were a child hiding from the boogeyman<ref>[[Ivy Q&A#Threats]]</ref>.

==Likelihood of Acting Out on Death Threats==
As a bit of reassurance to anyone who thinks that Chris, a [[Autism|mentally ill man]] with a [[Chris and the law|criminal record]] who has endured endless harassment from the [[trolls]] would one day [[Chris and anger|snap]] and [[Strangle_that_Clyde_Cash|attempt to kill somebody]], consider the following. For starters, Chris is a coward, and would likely [[Charlottesville_Fashion_Square#Chris_vs._Fashion_Square|run at the slightest hint of conflict]], possibly [[DIRTY, CRAPPED BRIEFS|shitting himself in terror]] in the process. Secondly, Chris's poor [[Chris and health|health]], [[Pull-up|lack of exercise]] and [[Don%27t_Mess_With_Me|slow reaction time]] would make being chased and overpowered by him in any instance a sheer impossibility unless the recipient is in [[Barbara Chandler|far worse health than him]]. Also, Chris often assumes that his target would [[Don%27t_Mess_With_Me|simply stand there and let him carry out murder]], almost like an execution, and it's likely that should his target try to fight back, he'll be caught off guard. Last, but not least, Chris seems to prefer that his trolls come [[14 Branchland Court|directly to him]], as going out of his [[Chris%27s_room|comfort zone]] is far too much effort. Lest we forget, he [[Miyamoto_Saga#11_January_2009_to_15_January_2009:_Chris_Can.27t_Afford_to_Fly_to_Redmond|wouldn't even put up $800 to pursue his own lifelong dreams]], so what makes you think he'll even bother going after trolls, even ''if'' he [[Facebook#Maniacal_Laughter_from_Who_now.3F_Oh.2C_wait.2C_It_Is_ME.21_.3E8D|knew where they all lived]]?

Long story short, the most likely outcome of Chris attempting to follow up on his death threats would be a good old-fashioned round of [[Kick the Autistic|America's favorite game]].

Chris's birthday

{{quote|Today we celebrate our CHRISTIAN LOVE DAY!|Chris, on being nearly 30.<ref name="lovedayvid">[[Christian Love Day (video)]]</ref>}}
[[File:175-SchuBday.jpg|thumb|Best wishes from Sonichu.]]

'''[[Chris]]'s birthday''', 24 February, also known as '''[[Christian Love Day]]''' (or '''Spiritual Love Day''', circa [[2024]]), is a significant date in his life, for [[Chris and his ego|obvious reasons]]. However, the bizarre inconsistency of how he celebrates (from some new [[vidya]], to [[Examples of Chris's Ego#Christian Love Day|wanting his birthday to be a national holiday]]) warrants some inspection. [[CWCville|Coincidentally]], it was also the day the [[Nazis|Nazi Party]] was founded way back in [[Pre-1980#1920s|1920]],<ref>{{w|Nazi Party|Nazi Party - Wikipedia}}</ref> and when the [[Russia]]n Government launched their [[Wikipedia: 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine|war]] on Ukraine. Chris shares his birthday with [[Apple|Steve Jobs]].

==Notable birthdays==
===1999, 17th birthday===
Chris received a Pro 200<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vx4Zn5u4NQA| Commercial for the Pro 200 console.]</ref> handheld game console, and was photographed looking visibly disappointed while holding it. Interestingly, it's one of the few times where he would have been pretty justified in being so; given the console in question only had about fifteen simplistic games (in the advertising, they counted each difficulty level as an individual game), most of said games were ''Tetris'' rip-offs (and based around the same tall, thin playing field when they weren't), and it had a tiny, crappy monochrome screen and ear-grating sound. It's more than likely that [[Borb|his parents]] were suckered into buying it based on [[Chris and television|its TV advertisement making it look a lot better than it was]], and infamously promising that they would "never have to buy expensive cartridges again" on top of the cheap price for doing so. We all know [[List of Chris's video games|how well ''that'' worked out]].

He also drew "[[:File:086-BionicFlag.jpg|Bionic Over Autism]]", which would later be included in [[Sonichu 6|''Sonichu'' #6]], and created [[Espanolic]], which would later be seen on his [[Christian's Favorite Hits!|CD cover project]] for school.

While [[Trolls|most people]] would've celebrated by partying hard, doing [[Sex|something special]], or just acknowledging that they have grown into legal adults, Chris instead got a [[Video games|Sega Dreamcast]]. While he did have something of a party, it was very much the kind thrown for small children, composed of thrown-together decor, last-minute gifts, and some [[Friend zone|platonic]] [[gal-pals]] as guests. No [[Mia Hamm|strip club]]s, no [[Alcohol|booze]], no [[tobacky]], just ''Kenan & Kel'' and cake. Interestingly, this was allegedly Chris's best birthday ever.

Speaking of ''Kenan & Kel'', it is worth mentioning that its parent series ''All That'' featured a ''Vital Information for Your Everyday Life'' sketch that had some very, very eerie foreshadowing:

{{Quote|If you're a girl and your bra is too tight, you're uncomfortable. If you're a ''boy'' and [[Muscle bra|your bra]] is too tight, I'M uncomfortable.|Lori Beth Denberg}}

The great importance of this event apparently warranted recording as a story, "[[My big 18th party]]".

Years later, when asked by [[Kacey]] what did he do with his high school friends, Chris could not recall meeting them outside of school at any instance other than his 18th birthday.<ref>[[Kacey Call 20]]</ref> Likewise, a former Manchester High alumna who attended this birthday cannot recall any other instance in which she and the rest of Chris's high school friends ever hung out with him outside of school.<ref name>[[October 2013 Facebook Posts#Reality Comes Knocking]]</ref> Chris has stated if he were to give advice to a younger version of himself, he would tell 18 year old Chris that the gal pals he was with were hired by Bob and that he deserves better friends than the gal pals.

===2003, 21st birthday===
[[Image:0603-CWC21Note.jpg|thumb|And now the worst...]]

If the above birthday was Chris's best, then this one was probably his worst. No friends, no new [[video games]], and no [[sweetheart]]. The only present Chris received was his professor kicking him out of his [[PVCC|college]] [[Chris and English|English]] class. All wasn't lost, however, as this event was the catalyst that began the [[Love Quest]], Chris's enduring search for someone that will [[Barbara Chandler|put up with his crying and pamper him for eternity]].

===2005, 23rd birthday===
Chris documented this birthday in an issue of ''[[Sonichu's News Dash#Chris's 23rd Birthday|Sonichu's News Dash]]''. It took place at the mall and was attended by his parents, as well as "a couple of his new-found gal-pals, who all already have Boyfriends, or are otherwise undatable, due to her religion". He was treated like a child, and loved every second of it.

The gal-pal who is "undatable, due to her religion" is most likely [[Anna McLerran|Anna]]. Chris has met her prior to his 23rd birthday,<ref>As can be inferred from the fact that [[The Tale Of The Crazy Pacer]] was published on 5 [[2005#February|February 2005]], prior to Chris's birthday.</ref> and he likewise describes Mormons like Anna as undatable.<ref>[[MySpace messages#Jalena]]</ref>

===2007, 25th birthday===
[[Image:0940-CWCsAppreaciation.JPG|thumb|Chris's 25th birthday and [[DVD]] launch party.]]

To celebrate this milestone, Chris recorded an [[Christian Weston Chandler's FUTURE MESSAGE|IMPORTANT MESSAGE]], inspiring girls, boys, and dudes of all teenages with the many lessons he has learned from his quarter-century of experience.

===2008, 26th birthday===
It's unknown what Chris did for his birthday on 24 February [[2008]], although a week later [[Megan Schroeder|Megan]] wrote to him saying ''"Yeah that [[internet]] thing is getting very much out of hand and would like to ask if you could please take down or remove anything that has to do with me from any of your websites. I don't want to appear on those sites as well."'' A while later she discovered that Chris [[ShecameforCWC.JPG|drew and posted porn of her]]. Chaos ensued.

===2009, 27th birthday===
Chris's 27th birthday coincided with Fat Tuesday as well as the burial of his late [[Aunt Corrina]] in [[Chris's homes#Family in Red Oak|Red Oak]]. Undoubtedly, this cast a shadow on the festivities. In true Chris fashion, he bitched and complained about not being able to [[Obesity|stuff his greedy gullet full of pancakes]] at [[Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church|his church in Charlottesville]] instead of [[Chris and death|mourning]] the loss of his aunt. He would later go on to complain in [[Mumble 9]] about how Aunt Corrina ruined his special day by selfishly dying. He did receive some birthday money, which he used to fund his [[Ohio trip]] two days later.

===2010, 28th birthday===
Other than Chris's [[ego|obsessive desire]] to see his birthday made a holiday, not much is known about how he spent his 28th. What we do know is that he ingested a [[Semen|mysterious substance]] and was [[Magical Man Potion|visited]] by another [[Jerk|male]] guest. [[Alec Benson Leary]] also [[Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 9|called in and congratulated him]], being the all-around nice guy that he is. Chris [[Vivian Gee E-mails, 2010#Hey, Vivian — 11 February|had been saving $100]] to pay for a prostitute as a birthday present for himself, but he ultimately abandoned that idea after [[The Wallflower]] became his friend and he assumed he would be allowed to have sex with her for free.

===2011, 29th birthday===
The events were unknown due to his hiatus from the [[Internet]], but somewhere around this time is when Chris began to [[Tomgirl Pictures|embrace his feminine side]].

* '''''Sonichu'' Canon:''' Coincidentally (or not), the homo vaccine in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]] is distributed into the world's water supply on this day.

===2012, 30th birthday===
[[File:30_year_old_virgin.png|thumb|A must-see!]]

Chris entered his fourth decade in [[2012]]. The [[28 October 2011]] crimes still cast a shadow. Being the affluent [[Sony]] fanboy that he is, Chris bought himself a [[PlayStation Vita]] and a copy of ''Asphalt Injection'' (a critically-panned racing title, and the worst-reviewed game in the ''Asphalt'' franchise).

Leaked [[Facebook statuses]] revealed that Chris was not looking forward to this birthday. On 30 January, he expressed his frustrations about soon becoming a 30-year-old virgin, and a little more than a week later Chris announced on 11 February that he had no plans for his birthday.

===2013, 31st birthday===
[[Trolling]] was on Chris's mind on this birthday: he watched the slasher film about trolls ''{{w|Smiley (2012 film)|Smiley}}'' two days before, and the day after his birthday he called out [[My Little Pony|Tara Strong]] for "promoting trolling".

===2014, 32nd birthday===
Chris and his mother were staying in their [[Rental House|temporary house]] while [[14 Branchland Court|his home]] was undergoing repairs after its [[Destruction Of Chris's House|fiery destruction]]. Chris was recovering from bronchitis. It was a quiet birthday. He worked on his [[LEGO]] [[high school]], watched the ''Back to the Future'' movies, and got some free ice cream at IHOP.<ref>[[Rebeckah Bentley E-mails#Birthday]]</ref>

===2015, 33rd birthday===
Chris took to [[Facebook]], asking for a "very much required" $300 Lego set, along with ''two'' $70 Bikini Bottom sets – because he wants to make use of one piece from each set. His given motive is that he "may reconsider [his] feelings upon the lot of you" (note that the condition is that he ''may'' reconsider his feelings – [[Chris and negotiation|it's not guaranteed]], but you'll have to send him $400 in Lego blocks to find out). Unsurprisingly, Chris did not receive the gifts he asked for.

===2016, 34th birthday===
After months of living on the profits from his overpriced art and excessive donations from remorseful trolls, much like the year before, Chris's 34th birthday ended up being marked by lavish demands on his part. [[2016|This year]], he made an "[[Chris and negotiation|offer]]" to his fanbase: if they sent him a [[PS4]] bundle of his choosing for his birthday, he would in turn give them a $500 discount on his wide selection of shit on [[Etsy]]. Whether Chris even ''has'' $500 worth of merchandise that anyone would want to buy, or whether they would receive their purchases in a timely manner, is an exercise left to the reader.

Needless to say, February 24 came and went, with no PS4 forthcoming. The following day, Chris caught some Christorians off-guard by revealing ([[Update: 2/25/16|in the most lulzy fashion]]) that he had seriously expected strangers on the internet to fork out hundreds of dollars for the birthday <s>boy</s> [[Tomgirl|girl]]. Not only that, but [[Weens|some]] had even chosen instead to taunt him by sending him unactivated gift cards and used lottery tickets. And what happened then? Well, in [[CWCville]] they say – that the Mayor's massive [[Chris and his Ego|ego]] shrank three sizes that day.

Chris eventually purchased his own PS4 when nobody took him up on his "generous offer", but nonetheless pretended that he'd received it as a gift from an employee of the company he bought it from, in an apparent attempt to troll the trolls and/or rewrite history so he can continue believing that he has a massive <s>[[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens (comics)|terrorist]] [[Chaotic Combo|organization]]</s> fanbase who love him and would do ''anything'' for him, even if it breaks the law. And sure enough, he's tried to use them for just that, inciting them to [[FIX SONIC'S ARMS IMMEDIATELY, SEGA!!!|commit acts of vandalism and even violence]].

Ultimately, many found it simultaneously funny and sad that Chris had to make up his own [[white knight]].

===2017, 35th birthday===
Turning 35 seemed to awaken a nostalgic mood in Chris; he [[A_browsing_around_an_ol%27_playground|visited an old playground]], talked about [[Bob Chandler|Bob]] and [[high school]], and looked up [[Megan Schroeder|Megan]] on Facebook in the preceding weeks. The day after, Facebook showed him a video of Facebook friends wishing him a happy birthday.<ref>[[February_2017_Facebook_Posts]]</ref>

===2018, 36th birthday===
Not much happened this year, only that Chris commented about Christian Love Day on his Twitter and Facebook.

===2019, 37th birthday===
Chris tweeted a picture of his cake and [[Barbara Chandler|Barb]] sang "Happy Birthday" to him.

===2020, 38th birthday===
Chris requested on Twitter that one of his enablers buy him ''Pokémon Shield''. He later asked for "something well-crafted; magic/healing stones" or just cold, hard cash.<ref>[[February 2020 social media posts]]</ref>

On the day, he [[Tweeted]] a [[Spanish]] birthday message and an image of him and orbiters forming a heart:

===2021, 39th birthday===
Chris, [[Spirit possession|role-playing]] as Sonichu, made a simultaneous [[February 2021 social media posts#Chris's birthday and Sonic World|post]] on Twitter and Instagram wishing himself a happy birthday. He also shared some gameplay of his Sonichu mod for [[Sonic World]].

===2022, 40th birthday===
Chris entered his middle ages in [[Central Virginia Regional Jail]] as he spent his first birthday away from home, continuing to await his trial for [[Affair with Mother|incest]].

===2023, 41st birthday===
Chris spent a second birthday in jail; it is not known if he was able to observe it in any way. A month later, he would be [[Jail_Saga#Bonded_out_or_Released_by_court_order|released]].

===2024, 42nd birthday===
Chris celebrates his first birthday since being released from jail. He uploads two videos in his new [[AI Chris Chan Vs Christ Chan]] series. He also spent some of the day outside playing [[Pokémon GO]].<ref>[[Sightings_(2024)#Liberty_University]]</ref>

=="Christian Love Day"==
{{main|Christian Love Day}}
[[File:Christian Love Day Declaration.jpg|thumb|The Christian Love Day Declaration (which is totally TRUE and HONEST, and not a [[things Chris has ripped off|rip-off]] at all).]]
Many people see their birthday as a day of personal relevance. Chris, on the other hand, thinks everyone across the globe should be [[Chris and his ego|focused on him too]]. First seen in the [[CWC Blog]], "Christian Love Day" is apparently a second Valentine's Day, but celebrated exclusively by STRAIGHT folk. In the [[Mailbag]], he clarified he "feels like" it should be a nationally recognized holiday, merely because [[Chris and reality|he wills it]] and it's also Mexican Flag Day. However, Chris provides no details on how to celebrate, nor does he put any effort into garnering publicity beyond [[Christian Love Day (video)|one lone video]].

In [[Sonichu (comic)|''Sonichu'']], the holiday gains slightly more credence, along with some disturbing moral stipulations. It is on this day that the homo vaccine "cures" the homosexual population of the Earth, driving the [[Infinitely-High Boyfriend-Factor]] up to critical levels. It seems to be that this fictional event is the real reason Chris wants to commemorate his birthday as a holiday (well, that and [[Chris and his Ego|ego]]). Chris either thinks his comic is so widely known that the date of its denouement would be nationally recognized, or he [[Chris and reality|has a skewed perception of the lines between fiction and reality]].

Father Call

2025-02-06T08:28:52Z

Mangolover887: /* Summary */

{{Troll}}
{{Protip|Matthew was not [[Liquid Chris]], it was in reality a minor troll who was asked to do the role.}}
[[Image:Md.PNG|thumb|Chris's drawing of <s>Guile</s> Kacey's father (from [[Sonichu Special 4]]).]]

The '''Father Call''' is a [[Phone calls|phone call]] that occurred on 4 [[November 2009]]. In this call, [[Christian Weston Chandler|Solid Chris]] spends 2 hours on the phone with '''Matthew Devoria''' (born [[1957]]), the father of his would-be [[sweetheart]] [[Kacey]], and a retired {{w|United States Marine Corps|U.S. Marine}} who served in the {{w|Gulf War}}. Chris uses the opportunity of speaking to the dad of his sweetheart by boasting of his now-legendary [[honest]]y, before flimsily attempting to defend himself from an angry father.

Their conversation is illuminating. What follows is probably the bluntest personal assessment Chris has ever received to date: Matt berates Chris for his [[Monthly tugboat|laziness]], [[Chris and his ego|egotism]], [[Chris and kindness|lack of empathy]], [[Chris and reality|inability to grow up]], [[Chris and health|unhealthy lifestyle]], [[obesity]], [[Women's rights|treatment of Kacey]] and general failure at life. To this day, Chris has never taken any of Matt and Kacey's advice to heart; throughout the call he retorts by saying that he leads a hard life, which includes such laborious tasks as doing menial [[chores]], [[CWC Fighter|mowing the lawn]] and ''[[Tour of Chris's House|cleaning the house]]''. He also claims to be [[I AM STRONG|strong]] and that he [[Guitar Hero|exercises]] [[Mass debating|regularly]], as well as eating healthy by going to [[McDonald's]] only once per week and shoving [[Barbara Chandler|vegetables]] [[Homos|down his throat]].

After being berated with insults for two hours (or so he says), Chris became increasingly more [[stress]]ed, frequently making insensitive statements towards Matthew. In general, Chris greatly offended Kacey and her father, causing her to rethink her relationship and go back to [[Liquid Chris]].

Chris recorded his [[11052009 Kacey, I Love You, and I Need You|5 November video]] as a follow-up to this conversation, hoping to repair his relationship with Kacey. He then had another [[Kacey and Liquid Call|phone conversation with Kacey]], which, to put it bluntly, ended equally as poorly.

==Summary==
* Throughout the call, ''Portal'' is occasionally heard in the background, as well as constant typing sounds every so often. A turret from the game can briefly be heard 1 hour, 22 minutes and 22 seconds in.
* A couple times, Matthew whispers portions of his sentences after saying them, in a possible exhibition of [[Wikipedia:palilalia|palilalia]]. Palilalia often appears in individuals with autism or other developmental disabilities.
* Chris [[Stress sigh|sighs]] constantly during the call – to the point where Matthew points out the constant sighing ''3 times''.
* The call begins with Chris talking to Kacey and making some rather dubious-sounding claims about his weightlifting prowess, saying he [[11042009 51 50|just got done lifting 50 pounds]] 51 times with each arm, a total of 102 reps according to Chris. Kacey doesn't bother to question Chris on the truth of these claims, and instead hands the phone over to her father, Matthew.
* Before she hands the phone over, however, Kacey claims she has to lift at least 100 pounds for her job. Chris does not question how or why a waitress would have to lift that many pounds.
* Matt starts out being fairly civil toward Chris, though it's immediately obvious that he doesn't have much respect for him. Matt begins by calling out Chris on his [[Chris and work|underwhelming employment record]], and tells him that no sane employer would take his claim of being a [[Pokémon]] Gym Leader/babysitter seriously.
* Upon being questioned as to the source of his monthly income, Chris reveals his [[autism]] and the corresponding [[monthly tugboat]]. Matt asks if any hypothetical children (or "[[Slow-in-the-minds|'tard babies]]", as he says) of Chris and Kacey would also be autistic, and while Chris denies that they would be, Matt checks with Kacey, who confirms that autism is more often than not genetic. This is the first of several times Chris lies during the call, and while Matt goes easy on him this time, he won't be so generous the next time Chris does it.
* Chris reveals his dream about God promising him a daughter named [[Crystal Weston Chandler (daughter)|Crystal]]. Not only does Matt consider the idea of God sending Chris messages to be [[Wikipedia:False Prophet|blasphemous]], but he also doesn't even like Crystal as a name and believes it's more appropriate for a [[Little Tomboy Blue|stripper]], or [[wikipedia:Cristal (wine)|an expensive brand of]] [[Alcohol|champagne]]. Chris corrects him with the pronunciation of the name to not sound like a stripper, "Chris-tul", not "Chris-tal" (he also misspells the name). Chris ignores the fact that Kacey does not like the name that much either, as Matthew points out.
* After indirectly confirming to Matthew that he was interested primarily in Kacey [[Women's rights|for her looks]], he is questioned on why the great and powerful Liquid was impersonating him. Solid's response is to claim that Liquid was jealous of his success with ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]''. Matt is at first completely bewildered as to why Chris is spending so much time on ''Sonichu'', before using it to make the point that Chris has completely failed to move on from his teenage years. Matthew commits a potentially damaging mistake when he points out that Sega owns the rights to Sonic the Hedgehog, despite having earlier claimed not to know anything about the character, leading to him clumsily backtracking on his statement; fortunately, [[Slow-in-the-minds|Chris doesn't notice this]].
* The tone of the conversation takes a significant turn for the worse when Matt brings up the subject of [[Twin Falling Towers]], and says that he found that said video to be especially offensive since his mother (Kacey's grandmother) was one of the casualties in the World Trade Center on 11 September 2001. Chris's only response is to blame it all on [[Clyde Cash]], because [[Mumble 9.5|he was being "mean" to Chris]]; Matthew is unsurprisingly baffled as to why Chris tried "getting back" at a random guy on the internet by mockingly comparing him to the subject of one of the all-time biggest American tragedies.
* Chris tries to elicit sympathy by claiming to have undergone "war-like tribulations" in his life. Matt tells Chris what war is ''actually'' like, recounting his Gulf War experiences, particularly an incident where he had to carry a dead colleague back to base. Chris retracts his statement about his problems being "war-like", but carries on whining about the hard burdens he's had to deal with, like pulling weeds, standing up to [[Guitar Hero|play guitar]], mowing the lawn, moving furniture, and burying his beloved [[Patti Chandler|dog]]. Matt is even more offended by the insinuation that this is equal to the death of his mother, and even points out his grandma with ''arthritis'' pulled weeds.
* Chris also seems to believe a dog house made of plastic and wood weighs 5 to 10 tons (10,000-20,000 pounds), and believes the doghouse would weigh more than any tombstone (which tends to weigh an average of about 80 pounds). He also tries to gain sympathy by saying Patti's doghouse was essentially a tombstone. Chris believes plastic and wood would weigh more than solid stone, retracting the previous claim to saying the doghouse weighed 100 pounds. A small dog like Patti would not need a dog house that heavy or large.
* Chris isn't discouraged by the fact that his attempts to earn sympathy aren't working, and rants semi-coherently about how the evil [[troll]]s have [[Kick the Autistic|made his life a misery]]. Not only does this self-pitying whining severely annoy Matt, Chris unwittingly digs himself a deeper hole by revealing details about the [[Ohio trip]] in the [[Julie]] saga, causing Matthew to angrily question him on why he wouldn't come to D.C. to meet Kacey if he were willing to drive +800 miles to another state to rescue a girlfriend he eventually found out didn't exist (and was really a [[BlueSpike|13-year-old boy]], to boot).
* Matt accuses Chris of acting like a child and mentions the state of [[Chris's room|his room]] as proof that he's lazy and unwilling to take responsibility, remarking Chris's plan to be a house-husband. Chris just tries to blame [[Barbara Chandler|his mother]] for not helping him, hypocritically saying that Barb is lazy. Matt sarcastically comments on his lack of maturity, but Chris misses the sarcasm and thinks he's actually agreeing with him.
* In an unbelievably insensitive move even by his standards, ''Chris compares the effort that tidying his house would entail with the effort Matt spent carrying his dead colleague back to base''. Matt is rightfully ''furious'' at this comparison and gets Kacey back on the phone to tell her how full of shit Chris is. Kacey tells Chris that he needs to respect Matthew more, before handing the phone back to her father. Chris tries to say he was being respectful and Matthew treats him like a child. Kacey points out he needs to be nicer and more respectful to Matthew (not to mention, throughout the call, Chris is acting ''like'' a child, which Matt doesn't overlook). After being yelled at by Kacey, Chris "apologizes" to Matthew, with Matthew seeing past his crap.
* An off-hand remark about the library leads Matt to question Chris on his reading habits. Chris says that the last book he read was ''To Kill a Mockingbird''. Matt points out that's a book generally already read by high school students, and then asks him what he learned from the novel. Chris proceeds to describe the plot of ''Of Mice and Men''. Upon having this pointed out, Chris remembers which book he's talking about and gives a ''vaguely'' correct description of the plot, but seems to have only read (or paid attention to) the first half of the story. When Matt brings up the court case (a major part of the story) and the character of Atticus Finch (who is the main character's dad), Chris seems to not know what he's talking about.
* Matt says that Kacey reads books like Chris stuffs candy down his throat. Chris ''completely'' misses the point of that comparison, and angrily claims he has a healthy lifestyle. Matthew thoroughly mocks Chris's lack of basic comprehension skills and challenges him to produce a video of himself exercising in order to prove his obviously false claims of being healthy.
* Returning to the subject of Crystal, Matthew asks Chris how he intends to support himself, Kacey, and a child on his tugboat and a minimum-wage job. Chris tries to claim that $8/hour is plenty for a family of three, to which Matt points out that not only is that amount of money nowhere near enough, the minimum wage is actually $7.25/hour. Chris takes a sneering tone during this debate, only serving to piss Matt off even more, and causing Kacey to again tell Chris to respect Matthew. By this point, Kacey is getting pissed off with Chris's disrespect and clear failure to listen to her and her father's advice.
* Matthew again questions Chris on his lifestyle and asks him to take his pulse. Chris discovers his pulse to be 84 per minute; Kacey overhears this and tells Chris that with his history of heart trouble and unhealthy eating, such a pulse indicates a serious problem. Chris doesn't seem at all bothered by him possibly risking death, which really annoys Kacey and causes her to storm off.
* Chris bizarrely attempts to make himself look better by boasting that he's American-born and bred, and has never even left the country, somehow thinking this will impress a man who fought in Iraq. Matt points out that not only is this irrelevant since Kacey and Liquid Chris are also American, but true patriots also wouldn't make videos mocking national tragedies.
* Matt decides to test Chris's memory and asks him various details about Kacey; Chris gets her favorite color vaguely right, has no idea what her favorite flower is, and takes forever to remember which of her family members died on 9/11 (which should've been easy for Chris because Matt told him ''earlier in the conversation''). Matt tells Chris that he must be [[naïve]] to think he would have any chance with Kacey; Chris gets ''really'' annoyed by Matthew's usage of [[Niggos|the dreaded "N" word]] and actually implies that he would try to kick Matthew's ass were they in the same room. At least, until Matthew reminds him [[Kick the Autistic|which of the two was formerly in the USMC]], causing Chris to quickly backtrack on his threats.
* Out of nowhere, Chris suddenly brings up his experience of being restrained by his [[Bruce Johnson|elementary school principal]] and teachers. This is probably yet another attempt to gain sympathy, but Matthew just considers it more evidence that Chris has serious problems, and points out how hypocritical it is for him to accuse Liquid of being the crazy one.
* Matt brings up Chris's first meeting with Kacey (and her sister), and accuses him of acting in an inappropriate "touchy-feely" manner, which Chris just flat-out denies being true. This leads to Matthew questioning Chris on where he would take Kacey on a date, and in turn how much he would tip the server. Chris's response indicates that he believes the "15% rule" [[Autism|to be a cast-iron rule]], rather than just a rough guideline for tipping.
* Chris abruptly tries weaseling his way out of the call, partly because of how late at night it is, but also because he thinks Matthew is being disrespectful to ''him''. After some back and forth regarding Kacey, the future of Chris's relationship to her, her song dedication video, and Chris's [[My Half of A Whole New World for Kacey|own version of the song]], Matthew snidely congratulates Chris on getting Kacey and Liquid back together.
* Kacey comes back one last time and rails at Chris for being disrespectful and generally full of shit, as Matthew attempts to hold back laughter. She mentions Chris failing to make her a comic (presumably what would become the [[Sonichu Special 4|Gun Comic]]) and instead making her a ''[[LittleBigPlanet]]'' level. Kacey reveals Chris asked her for her phone number, which she refused to give him until her parents trusted him – Chris claims he would have come to her if he knew where she was – despite earlier in the call implying after Julie, he would not travel to see any girlfriends. During this, she compares him to Liquid, who she says would've driven to see her soon as he knew she was upset (Chris didn't bother during the call to ask how she was when talking to Matthew). Chris doesn't give a clear answer to any of her accusations, resulting in her storming out of the call for good. The tape runs out before the call actually ends, but it's clear by now that Chris has fucked up big time.

'''Chris:''' Hello?

'''Kacey:''' Hey, Chris, it's Kacey!

'''Chris:''' Hi, Kacey, how are you?

'''Kacey:''' Um, I'm cool, um, I'm over at my parents' house, cause, um, they wanted to call [''Chris speaks over her''] 'cause they saw some of your videos and I gave them the letter.

'''Chris:''' Okay, all right. Actually, I'm uploading a [[11042009 51 50|video]] now, I did fif--I did 51 reps with, uh, 50-pound weights… well, not really weights, but as much as they are...

'''Kacey:''' You did 51 reps or 51 times? 'Cause reps are different.

'''Chris:''' You know, li… you know, lifted them up, 51 times, lifted them up with each arm. 51 times--arm, so it's a total of 102.

'''Kacey:''' Hmm. [''pause''] Well, at--was--was it hard?

'''Chris:''' Yeah, it was hard, but… it was a show of strength anyway.

'''Kacey:''' Um, that's funny, 'cause I have to lift, like… 100 and more pounds for my job--I, but, um, let me go ahead and get my dad for you, because he wants to talk to you.

'''Chris:''' Alright, by the way what's his name? [''pause''] Mokay.

'''Kacey:''' I'm sorry, I didn't hear you, uh, it's Matthew.

'''Chris:''' Oh, Matthew, okay.

'''Kacey:''' Yeah. [''stifles a chuckle'']

'''Chris:''' Alright.

'''Kacey:''' Alright, well gu--just give me a minute.

'''Chris:''' Okay. [''long pause and typing noises'']

'''Matthew:''' Hello, Chris. This is ''Matthew'', Kacey's father.

'''Chris:''' Hello, si--good evening, sir, how are you?

'''Matthew:''' I'm good, thank you. How are you?

'''Chris:''' I'm da--I'm doing good.

'''Matthew:''' Good. Good. So, uh… so, I've got a couple of questions for you… well, n'I mean more than a couple. Aaai?

'''Chris:''' That's fine, that's fine, I'm happy to oblige with an answe--with an honest answer.

'''Matthew:''' Okay. [''inhales''] Well, uh, first and foremost, uh, let's see, uh… you got a job, son?

'''Chris:''' Hmm, not currently, but [[Chris's resume|I am working towards getting a job]]. I have been filling applications left and right.

'''Matthew:''' Really, really, what kinds of places, uh, what kind of skills you got?

'''Chris:''' Hmm, yeah, w--yeah, I'm looking, um--I'm applying for, like, uh--retail stores and such, uh got an application for a new CVS in [[Ruckersville]], and uh, one over at the [[Walmart]], and I had one over at [[Target]]… I have worked before, I've worked at--duh, [[Wendy's]] in di--Ruckersville for a few months… first off, I worked off as a sales representative for, uh... [[Cutco]] Cutlery.

'''Matthew:''' Right, that's--that's minimum wage stuff, uh… yi, d'you go to college or something?

'''Chris:''' Yeah, [[Piedmont Virginia Community College|I went to college]] and, uh, got a degree and a certificate in [[CADD|Computer Aided Drafting and Design]].

'''Matthew:''' And you're working at… ''Target''… I mean, I know the economy's bad, but I mean… surely, you've gotta, you know, use that somehow, right? And how old are you again?

'''Chris:''' I'm 27… sir.

'''Matthew:''' You're almost ''30'' and you're working at the… ''Target''. You wanna work at Target, I should say.

'''Chris:''' Hmm… yeah, well, not really sure what kind of jobs my, uh… degree and certificate would get me, but I mean, like, you know… but I mean, if I--if I did know, then I'd certainly strike up on the job…

'''Matthew:''' You got a degree not knowing what kind of jobs you could get… in that field, and you've had it for how long? When did you graduate?

'''Chris:''' Hmm… I graduated in 2006.

'''Matthew:''' 2006, so you've had it for 3 years and you have done nothing with it… y-you haven't… you haven't had any jobs between then?

===The Pokémon Volunteer Who Lives with His Parents (4:28-11:01)===
'''Chris:''' Yeah, I had--I did--I did volunte--I have done volunteer work… uh… [''cut off'']

'''Matthew:''' That doesn't pay, though. Although, what kind? [''stutters''] Humor me.

'''Chris:''' Uh, I'm sorry, I didn't understand the question.

'''Matthew:''' Uwha--what kind of volunteer work? Humor me.

'''Chris:''' Alright, well yeah, I helped the--I helped, uh… the chil--I helped the, uh, children over at the--at the [[The GAMe PLACe|Assistant Gym Leader]] for the [[Pokémon]] [[Trading Card Game]] league, a few years back…

'''Matthew:''' P--''Pokémon''? Di--wait, that…

'''Chris:''' You know, teach them how to play, and building decks from ther-swha-what scraps they had, and uh… di--making sure they kept in order, y'know, d-d-don't get too crazy…

'''Matthew:''' And how long ago was this?

'''Chris:''' …I'm sorry, what was that?

'''Matthew:''' How long ago was this? I mean, wasn't that ''Pokémon'' thing, wasn't that back in [[1990s|the 90s]] when that was really popular? Because I think my youngest daughter used to like that, but you know, that was years ago.

'''Chris:''' It was the late 90s.

'''Matthew:''' LATE 90s.

'''Chris:''' [''stutters''] That's still going strong. Maybe I--

'''Matthew:''' If you say so.

'''Chris:''' …and I have been doing that from 1998 'till about 2008. [''pause''] So about 10 years I've been doing that.

'''Matthew:''' Right. You've been playing a children's card game for 10 years.

'''Chris:''' …yeah, but also [''stutters''], like, as you know, like, a form of babysitting.

'''Matthew:''' Babysitting… but… but doesn't babysitting usually, you know, pay? I mean, and, that doesn't sound like you're volunteering. When I think volunteering work, I think like, you know, Red Cross, that kind of thing. You know, actually going out and ''really'' helping people. Planting ''trees'', that kind of stuff.

'''Chris:''' Yeah, well, I have--I have been--I have helped people--out. You know, I, uh, helped, like, the parents mind… knowing their children were in a safe environment and I helped ensure that their children were playing and, uh, were within the safe environment and that nothing was to go wrong and, uh, and I was respected as an authoritative figure in that sense.

'''Matthew:''' Right. I'ean, [''stutters''] and… but… are you still doing this? I mean, or what are you doing right now? If you stopped, why aren't you doing this anymore? [''crinkles paper or snack bag'']

'''Chris:''' Ummm… yeah, it was kinda, um, kinda like, uh, you know, not too m--not too many were showing up, so it was like my choice on ending that, you know. But yeah, it was a sa--yeah, it was kind of a sad day for me, you know, to have to put that behind me, but, you know, we gotta move on, but anyway… but anyway, aside from that, I… I've been searching and, uh, doing [''stutters a lot''] yardwork for my family and other sorts of… heavy lifting.

'''Matthew:''' Right, right… well--aaaah, anyways, I'm done talking about, uh, ''Pokeyman'' now. I got a couple more. So, uh, what kind of place you got, you got a place of your own? Where you living at?

'''Chris:''' Yeah… I'm currently living in a [[14 Branchland Court|two-story house]] with [[Borb|my mother and my father]].

'''Matthew:''' Living with your parents, age 30. Got it. [''Chris tries to interrupt''] ''Almost'' 30, excuse me.

'''Chris:''' Well, uh, I hope that, uh, doesn't strike you in a bad thing, but it's like, uh, I just did not feel comfortable leaving the safety of my home with the, uh, for the while.

'''Matthew:''' And, uh, why is that exactly?

'''Chris:''' 'Cause I could not really, I just did not feel, you know, like I was ready for a place of my own just yet.

'''Matthew:''' You gotta leave somehow, you've gotta leave at some point. I mean, I think most of my kids will, you know, move out 18, 20… y'kn--I'm okay if they hang out while they're in college, but after that they gotta start looking for a place of their own, you know?

'''Chris:''' Yeah… yeah. But, you know, to--to each their own individual growth rates.

'''Matthew:''' Right, but, but uh, I just gotta ask, though… I mean, you're really serious about Kacey, are you not?

'''Chris:''' Yes, I--yes, I am serious about Kacey.

'''Matthew:''' Okay so… uh-

'''Chris:''' And with her help, I feel like I could get a good start on being able to, uh, you know, shortly, in the near future, move out of my--[[Rental House|move of the house]].

'''Matthew:''' …with her help?

'''Chris:''' …and get a place of my own…

'''Matthew:''' You need her help in order to support both of you?

'''Chris:''' [''floundering''] It's more like, you know… um… ye, some details I'm not understand… I talk to my parents sometimes about that, but it's like, uh, you know… mmm… I… it's like a… whole bunch of details… you know… yeah. [''says "mmm" or audibly farts'']

'''Matthew:''' Explain, please. [''stutters''] I don't know what these details are.

'''Chris:''' Anyway, I'm still, like, uh, I would need like, you know, external influence, you know, somebody outside the house to help me feel more comfortable in moving out.

'''Matthew:''' You could, you know, people are always looking for roommates, you know, just go to any college board, you know, y-sti…

'''Chris:''' Yeah… but still, I mean, that's not…

'''Matthew:''' That's not really an excuse.

'''Chris:''' That's not something I would feel comfortable with, since, uh, I haven't been to college for a few years, you know… I keep between myself…

'''Matthew:''' So, but I mean really, okay, if you can't s-s-if you can't support my daughter, my daughter needs a man, a MAN to support her.

'''Chris:''' I am a man, sir.

===Financial Situation and Crystal the Tard Baby (11:01-18:28)===
'''Matthew:''' How serious are you about my daughter?

'''Chris:''' Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't understand the question.

'''Matthew:''' How serious are you about my daughter? Really. If you aren't even willing to support yourself, you know, like that uh…

'''Chris:''' I am willing, I am able to support myself as well. I'm able to support myself. And I will be able to support your daughter as well.

'''Matthew:''' Okay, then t-then then why aren't you? I mean, where's the money gonna come from?

'''Chris:''' Yeah, I do have, I do have a- I do have a- a [[Monthly tugboat|monthly income]]. I get, uh--

'''Matthew:''' Do you now?

'''Chris:''' Yeah, I get it fro- yeah, pretty much- I get it from the government. My family is a little bit in with the government.

'''Matthew:''' S-s-so w-why do you- why do you get welfare? Mi-might I ask? Or, whatever you call it. Um…

'''Chris:''' You can call it, like, you know, a stepping-stone in the right direction of, uh, me movin- me moving out and- and all that, but seriously, though, I am very strong-willed, and I feel like, and I feel that I could, that when- that- I could- I would be able to take care of Kacey.

'''Matthew:''' You're avoiding my question. Why are you on, I think it's actually called Social Security. Why do you get it? I mean, I'm a pretty strong Republican, we don't really like that whole welfare thing. We work, and if we can't work, we go join the military. That's what I did.

'''Chris:''' Yeah. I understand that. You see, I'm [[Autism|high-functionally autistic]].

'''Matthew:''' Are you now?

'''Chris:''' Yeah. I was diagnosed with that at a young age, and I was, I still have [''brief disconnection''] just a few years ago.

'''Matthew:''' So, ah… isn't that autism thing, it's like a, you're not, like, ''retarded'', are you?

'''Chris:''' Ah, I'm sorry, not really, what?

'''Matthew:''' I'm just saying, you know, that's a genetic thing, right? I don't want any, if you're really going to get with my daughter, I don't want 'tard-babies.

'''Chris:''' Yeah, yeah, autism is not genetic.

'''Matthew:''' Ah, I think I read somewhere that it was, actually. I'm pretty sure I did.

'''Chris:''' No, no, it's a myth. That's a myth.

'''Matthew:''' A myth. A myth.

'''Chris:''' Autism is not genetic. You're not gonna have, there would be no retarded grandchildren on your part. I can guar… I can promise you that.

'''Matthew:''' If you say so. If you really say so. I'm looking this stuff up right now. My Kacey, she's in medicine, she knows this stuff, she's an expert.

'''Chris:''' Yeah, but, like, you know, it might be also…

'''Matthew:''' Actually, hold on, she's right over here. Hey, Kacey, what do you know about autism? Is that genetic?

'''Kacey:''' Yeah, it's definitely genetic. It usually runs in the [[Barb|mother]]'s line but it can be in the [[Bob|father]]'s as well. But it's usually the mother's. And twins have a much higher chance.

'''Chris:''' [''In a relatively quiet sigh''] Great.

'''Kacey:''' Anything else, Dad?

'''Matthew:''' Ah… no, I think that's good, yeah, you go… What were you doing again?

'''Kacey:''' I need to go finish washing the dishes. I'll be right back, Dad.

'''Matthew:''' I think there's some cake down there, too. Go help yourself or something.

'''Kacey:''' Okay, sweet! Thanks, Dad.

'''Matthew:''' Anyways, where was I? Let's see… if you really want a kid with my Kacey, I think you'd probably be best if you adopted or something. That's a good thing, you know.

'''Chris:''' Yeah, well, yeah, in my case, I would not, I do not, [[Chris and his Ego|I would not care to adopt. You see, I have a dream, I have my dream, and that dream is to give birth, to have, to share a daughter with my wife-to-be]], and her name would be [[Crystal Weston Chandler (daughter)|Crystal]].

'''Matthew:''' A dream… as in, you were asleep and you saw something?

'''Chris:''' Yeah. Plus, in the dream, I had, like, an office job.

'''Matthew:''' An office job. Right.

'''Chris:''' Yeah.

'''Matthew:''' You know, I don't think, Kacey actually doesn't really like that name. You know, it's kind of a stripper name, CrySTAL, it's kinda like Cristal, that champagne…

'''Chris:''' No, no, no, no, it would not, it would not, it would not be CriSTAL, it would be CrySTULL. Does that make sense?

'''Matthew:''' It's still pretty close.

'''Chris:''' It's fairly, it does sound close, but it's not, you're not, you're just replacing the C-R-Y-S-T-L-E ''(yes, he misspelled that)'', you're replacing the L-E with an A-L.

'''Matthew:''' Yeah, but even so… you said this all came to you in a dream… dreams, they don't pay the bills. It's just a dream. That's all just from your head. I had a dream once where, you know, I was flying. You don't see me doing that.

'''Chris:''' Hm. Yeah, okay, but I mean, it's like in, yeah. Flying, yeah, you're definitely not going to be able to fly on your own. Sure. But it's like, you know, when you see a dream that's actually reasonable, that you can actually picture yourself doing in the future while you're awake. You know? It's like a career thing. You know, it's like, yeah, you definitely, it's like, you know, when your child, there's a chance you could become a cowboy if you dreamed of being a cowboy. But, you know, that may not be, that may seem kind of far-fetched, if you're living in a place that's not near or in Tetsas, but if you're like, if you dreamed you want, if you want, if you dreamed you wanted to be, to become a teacher, that's more likely, that's more likely possible. You can get the degree and become a teacher.

'''Matthew:''' So? If you want to go do it, be a teacher, go to work in an office, GO WORK IN AN OFFICE! Go apply to an office. Don't dream about it, dreams do nothing for you, they don't pay the bills.

'''Chris:''' Yeah, I am taking, I have been, I have been working on that, and I have been taking action on looking for good jobs. Definitely looking in office jobs.

===Prophetic Dreams and Bob Chandler (18:28-24:18)===
'''Matthew:''' You think you have some kind of powers of prophecy? That doesn't seem very, I don't know, to me it doesn't seem very Godly, you know.

'''Chris:''' No, ah, ah, ah, I'm not saying, I'm not saying that I'm a prophet. I'm not saying that. But, you know, it's definitely something that, you know, it's definitely something that I feel that God has promised to me and [[Chris and religion|I believe in God]], I go to [[Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church|church]] every Sunday, and like, like in…

'''Matthew:''' That sounds like [[Chris and reality#Chris the Goddess|being a prophet]] to me.

'''Chris:''' Yeah, well, yeah, you do, yeah, there are prophets that are mentioned in the Bible.

'''Matthew:''' Yes, but.

'''Chris:''' I'm not, I am not, I, but, I am not saying that I am a prophet. Not saying that.

'''Matthew:''' Son, I go to church every Sunday too, and I've never had any kind of dreams of anything telling me that something is going to happen. God doesn't do that. God doesn't tell you things like that.

'''Chris:''' Yeah, well, yeah, you never know, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, it'll just, it depends on the people, you know? You never know it, but you know, you might actually have gotten a message in a dream that may have actually [''brief interruption''] but you might, you might not have caught on as quickly, or… and I do not mean to insult you, but, ah, yeah, right now, conflicted by, you know, retrospect, you might actually realize that could have been a message from God.

'''Matthew:''' Naaaah… if you think you see the future, that sounds like you're trying to be a prophet. That doesn't really sound religious, that just sounds like some [[Chris and religion#Chris the Shaman|mumbo-jumbo]] to me.

'''Chris:''' I'm not saying that it is the definite future, but that it is a POSSIBLE future. And I am looking-and I am looking to make that happen.

'''Matthew:''' Well, MAKE it happen.

'''Chris:''' I am going to.

'''Matthew:''' Do it. And if it's not a message from God, you should go out, you should do it. Why don't you go- don't wait for it, it sounds like you're just sitting around waiting for it. When did you have this dream, exactly?

'''Chris:''' Yeah, I pretty much, I pretty much had it when I was between seven and nine years old-

'''Matthew:''' Seven-wh-TWENTY YEARS AGO? Excuse me? And nothing has happened between then and now?

'''Chris:''' ''[floundering]'' I was definitely, like, in my [[Nathanael Greene Elementary School|elementary school years]]…

'''Matthew:''' And you hold onto this dream… I mean, you're almost thirty, you're, you know… time is gonna start working against you, you know? I mean, life is short.

'''Chris:''' Yes, it is.

'''Matthew:''' And you're living with your parents. I mean, what do you do all day, exactly?

'''Chris:''' Yeah, well, I get creative by uh, I like to [[CWC - Hand Drawn Original|draw and color]]. And uh, sometimes I like to create with my hands, you know, I [[Medallions of Fail|sculpt]]. And, uh even as far as, you know, just tinkering with, anything I like tinkering with. I even have-I am even [[I Pimp My Ride.MOV|technologically smart]]. I even took a [[computer]] upgrading class where I put together a computer, a personal computer, from scratch.

'''Matthew:''' So… why aren't you working building computers or something? It sounds like something you could do.

'''Chris:''' [''ignoring this fairly good point''] Hm, yeah, it is. Hm. Well I pretty much did get started on the techno-savvy, I would say, from my father. He's a retired technical engineer, he worked for GE for a number of years, he also, uh, was in the, well he was stationed over in Korea in the Signal Corps [''pronounced "corpse"'']. He-he designed the controls for the plastic auto machines for his other achievements. So without him we would not have the plastic for, at the very least, your soda bottles.

'''Matthew:''' That's all fine and good, I mean, your father… but I'm not talking about your father, I'm talking about you.

'''Chris:''' I'm just pointing it out as hinting at my technological influence.

'''Matthew:''' But… you haven't done anything, unlike your father. That's what I'm getting here. That's not good, son. I mean, when I was 27 I already had a wife and kids, I was working 40 hours a week.

'''Chris:''' Hmm… umm… yes, well, my father didn't marry-my father did not marry the first time till he was 30 himself.

'''Matthew:''' Yeah but you know, he probably also had a job and was living on his own, and he was also in the military, like me. So I don't really care about what your father did, because that's what he did, that's not what you did.

'''Chris:''' I understand-I understand th-I understand what you're talk-I understand… talking about… and, you know, and your point.

'''Matthew:''' Right.

'''Chris:''' I mean, I make a, I am trying to make a valid point myself. I feel like that, you know, we both are definitely understanding each other.

===Kacey's Boobs and Fame (24:18-33:24)===
'''Matthew:''' Really? I must say, I'm not really impressed, but, uh, let's move on. Let's talk a little bit about what you think about my lovely daughter. What was the first thing you liked or noticed about Kacey?

'''Chris:''' I noticed her beautiful face.

'''Matthew:''' Her beautiful face.

'''Chris:''' Yeah. And her blue-green eyes are like a pair of swimming pools that I would just love to swim around and bathe myself in.

'''Matthew:''' [''extremely uncomfortable laughter'']

'''Chris:''' I am very poetic as well, just to let you know, sir.

'''Matthew:''' So the first thing you noticed was her appearance.

'''Chris:''' [''Interrupting''] But also I definitely like to take note over time, over talking to her, one day that she was very smart and very fun to hang around with, and she definitely knows what she's talking about. If anything [''laughs''] she could be a little bit sm- she could be smarter than me [[Ego|on some things]].

'''Matthew:''' But still, the first thing that, uh, you noticed, was her appearance. So, were you looking for like a trophy wife or something? It's kind of funny…

'''Chris:''' [''stuttering''] The first thing I noticed about her in person, when we talked first, you know, between phone calls and e-mails, after kind of an indirect meeting there, but anyway. I actually learned first that she was smart and very delightful to talk to. And then after a while, she and I met in person, and then I got to appreciate her face. And the-the smart, charming wit behind it.

'''Matthew:''' This doesn't really add up to what Kacey told me, you know. The impressions I got from what she said about your first little… "encounter," we'll call it… she said she was a little bit… uncomfortable around you, you know? And apparently when you first talked to her, you actually were [[Kacey Phone Call|pretending to be somebody else]], actually. You know, that [[Liquid Chris|other Chris]].

'''Chris:''' Yeah, well he was, that was another thing. Yeah. All right, yeah.

'''Matthew:''' She didn't like that much.

'''Chris:''' My friend [[Kim]], she helped me, uh, get into that Chris's e-mail account. Before I ever learned about Kacey-

'''Matthew:''' You know, that Chris was her boyfriend at the time, you know? I mean, I've actually talked to that guy and met him in person, he's actually a pretty nice kid.

'''Chris:''' Yeah, but if you watch his [[YouTube]] videos he does get a little crazy. But anyway for the past few months now… he was, you know, he was pretending to be me, and a few months ago, he pretends, or I'm assuming he pretends, that he gets kidnapped and tied up, and sent to the desert. And then Kacey tells me that cops ''[incomprehensible]'' in the desert, but I'm going off track here-

'''Matthew:''' That just doesn't make any sense to me. Why would he pretend to be you? Someone like you, guy who lives with his parents.

'''Chris:''' Okay. Okay, first off, I'm Internet famous for being the original creator of the, uh… it's like a combination of [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] and Pikachu [''Kacey's Dad groans''], so I was the original creator of [[Sonichu]] and [[Rosechu]], the Electric Hedgehog Pokémon. And I created him on March 17, [[2000]], and I drew the [[comic]] books… I originally started that back in 2000, and I've drawn a few books and I'm still doing some drawing, I don't like to leave an unfinished project finished. But-

'''Matthew:''' [''Has been trying to interrupt for the last 30 seconds''] Okay, so… you know, I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about? I barely know what Sonic the Hedgehog and Pokémon is other than it's kids' stuff. So basically what I'm getting here is you took two kids' things and put them together, you know, two [[Chris and copyright|copyrighted]] kids' things…

'''Chris:''' But it's making up a whole new character, and my father has the knowledge with the [[copyrights]] and whatnot, and he verifies for me that I have been in the clear the whole time, from the beginning, to uh, to continue on with Sonichu being m-Sonichu and Rosechu being my original creation. And I create the original stories and everything, and the books, and I've done the [[CWCipedia]], which was originally on the CWC Sonichu site speaking of which, CWC is my name, Christian Weston Chandler. Anyway, I've been going on with that since 2000, uh-

'''Matthew:''' Which means you were 18 when you made this. You were what, a senior in high school? You were playing with kids' stuff? And that's what you've been doing for… what, you know, since then? You're 27 years old? You're playing with kids' stuff? I mean, like, little kids' stuff. I mean, like, ten-year-olds.

'''Chris:''' Yeah, well, it may sound like that, but in a sense, it was definitely a fad that I was, uh, enjoying, and, uh-

'''Matthew:''' But fads, they come and go.

'''Chris:''' -until when I had to like, uh, which was just a year and a half ago, I had to let that go, and I let that go a year and a half ago. But anyway, getting back to, uh…

'''Matthew:''' You said it was popular, still. But you're not making any money off it. You're just doing this while you sit around in your parents' house for no real reason, because like I said, you're not making any money off this, and you still wanna be a boyfriend.

'''Chris:''' Yeah, but, it is a thing I’m doing to make money off of, I could be, it is a thing that I am working on starting to make money off of, I am in talks with the com- comic book company, as well as Nintendo of America, about, uh, you know, about possibly, about the likelihood of me being able to, uh, of, uh, us getting together… making money off of this, cuz, obviously, since 2000 it became more and more popular on the, uh, Internet, and I became Internet famous and, uh, along with a bunch of the fans like that, I was, ah…

'''Matthew:''' Don’t you… don’t you need permission from both [[SEGA]], and [[Nintendo]]? I mean, is that, Sonic is from Sega, right? I mean, I know a little bit about what my daughter was… my little daughter used to talk about… I kinda know what a Sega is, I think.

'''Chris:''' Okay, yeah, I have talked to Sega as well, but anyway, getting back to, anyway, getting back to, if I may finish… yeah. Anyway, yeah, I got Internet famous, I got the fans, and then I got the naysayers which were the Internet bullies and trolls… and, uh… and uh, that Chris, and uh, Chris over there, was uh, he was one of them, and uh before, and this is, uh before I met Kacey he uh, he started pretending to be me, on the, in YouTube videos. And, uh…

'''Matthew:''' This… okay, I’m sorry, this is just getting completely ridiculous, all this Internet, I mean you just, all this Internet stuff, I don’t, I don’t know much about computers, but I mean, that’s just… this sounds like just a whole waste of time, that I don’t care about, because it doesn’t pay the bills, and it DOES NOT help support Ka- my Kacey.

'''Chris:''' I- I- I understand that.

===The Shit Hits the Fan (33:24-39:17)===
'''Matthew:''' I mean, I was in the MILITARY. I was DOING something. I fought in Desert STORM. I fought against Saddam HUSSEIN.

'''Chris:''' Yeah… okay… you fought in Desert Storm, you fought against Saddam… that’s all good, that’s very good. That’s honorable. That is honorable.

'''Matthew:''' But… and then what- and then YOU, you made this… Son-ni-chu thing. I mean… it’s like… ah, this is, something’s, something’s not right here, you know? But, but, but since you did bring up YouTube, I got, I got kind of an interesting little thing… that I noticed, in one of your recent videos, heh. I mean, I don’t know what exactly you were thinking, with this, um… you know, you did [[Twin Falling Towers|that video with the, ah… 9/11]]. I can’t say I really enjoyed that too much. I mean… that kinda hits… that kinda hits close to home to me, you know, I mean…

'''Chris:''' Yeah, I, yeah, I realize, I realize that now, and I have received the complaints so, yeah that’s why I have… I put that…

'''Matthew:''' You’re lucky I don’t… you’re lucky I don’t have a YouTube, son. I mean, my… I mean, that hits close to home to me. My MOTHER, Kacey’s grandmother… y’know, she DIED on 9/11.

'''Chris:''' I, um… I’m sorry to hear that. Yeah, and I, uh, I mean, it’s like, I did not mean to hit that, hit that fragile emotion, ah, it was originally, ah, a thing, against a longer, worser- worser Internet [[troll]], who goes by the name of [[Clyde Cash]], whose alias is Gregg Mays, and…

'''Matthew:''' You made a video…

'''Chris:''' Yeah, that’s just a whole nother story, right there. Anyway, I had…

'''Matthew:''' You made a video, basically, just trying to, trying to mess with some… GUY… on the Internet… that makes fun of one of the greatest American tragedies of our lifetime- no, THE Amer- greatest American tragedy of our lifetime.

'''Chris:''' Mm… yes, but, yeah but this guy, uh, he’s done a lot, he’s done a lot of things against me, yeah, on the Internet, trying to… you know… y-yeah, trying to destroy my good name with, uh, a whole bunch of twisted tru- told a whole bunch of twisted truths and phrases, and, words, and, I- that I have said, he just twist them around to- in evil ways and just, like some, and just, try- he’s one of those that just- and trying to slander my good name… And, uh, worse off, and worse off, and worse off, and worse off…

'''Matthew:''' Okay, let me ask you… let me ask you something. Where were you, on 9/11? I mean, they say everybody remembers where they were on 9/11 when they heard that those towers were going down, when a plane had hit those towers, and THOUSANDS of people DIED.

'''Chris:''' Yeah… I do remember where I was on, uh, 9/11, yeah, I was a, I had just, uh, I was just, uh, let go, from uh, my job at, uh, Wendy’s, it was uh, for, there was some differences between me and my employer, you know, I… [''trails off with a faint groan''] Yeah, but anyway,

'''Matthew:''' Would you like to know where Kacey was? Would you like to know where Kacey was?

'''Chris:''' Okay, well, okay, well, if I may finish, if I may finish, yeah, I was-

'''Matthew:''' No. No, I’m sorry. No, n--Kacey was, Kacey was AT Ground Zero. She was giving BLOOD, and plasma, volunteering, and where were you again?

'''Chris:''' [''Pause''] Hm. Yeah, I was--I was out shopping with my mom that day.

'''Matthew:''' ...Uh-huh. Really. That’s…

'''Chris:''' Yeah.

'''Matthew:''' …That’s wonderful. Wait a minute, you said Wendy’s before. That...are y-are you changing stories on me? H-have you been, like, changing stories on me through this entire call?

'''Chris:''' No, no I'm not changing-

'''Matthew:''' Are you just making shit up now?

'''Chris:''' No, I am not changing stories, this is the same story, I had just gotten fired from the Wendy's and I was feeling down, and I, I was feeling down...

'''Matthew:''' You'd been FIRED from Wendy's.

'''Chris:''' Yeah. I was, yeah, let go. I was let go from Wendy's, and I was sad, I was sad about that, you know, they gave me…

'''Matthew:''' WHY?

'''Chris:''' I told you! It was, it was because of, uh, emotional differences.

'''Matthew:''' Emotional differences.

'''Chris:''' Yeah, my, my, my employer, my…

'''Matthew:''' That's… this is absolutely nothing, that just sounds like a bunch of bull[[Lars|sheeit]].

'''Chris:''' [''heavy sigh'']

'''Matthew:''' Also sounds a little GAY. [''Chris stammers, splutters, and sighs in the background''] I mean, what, did the fry cook break up with you or something? I mean, come on.

'''Chris:''' [''short sigh''] No! It was nothing, it was nothing like that! It was a misunderstanding, something…

'''Matthew:''' Why do you [[sigh]] so much? That's just irritating.

'''Chris:''' That was, that was, that was misunderstanding, that was just, there was a whole bunch of misunderstandings between me and my employer, and he, and he has, and he had, and he had, and he had a spike on his shoulder against me. And, and, and, and then, and then that was why he, and then that was why he eventually fired me…

'''Matthew:''' [''has been trying to interrupt Chris's stammering for a while''] What ''kind'' of misunderstandings? WHAT ''KIND'' OF MISUNDERSTANDINGS?!

'''Chris:''' [''long pause''] Like I, like I did, like I did some things that he thought were bad but were, that he thought were bad but were actually good. And then he let, and then he, and then he let me, and then he let me go based on that. Anyway, yeah, I, anyway, this was a couple of days before 9/11 and I was still feeling down from being let go, and then, on 9/11 I was out shopping with my mother that day.

===Maturity and Chores (39:17-48:08)===
'''Matthew:''' Good god, I mean, you sound like you're just, you sound like you're just some simpering little… your voice is all wavery… good lord. You want to date… YOU? You want to date my daughter? You're not even giving me an ounce of respect now.

'''Chris:''' Oh come, oh come, oh come on, I grew up a lot, I grew up a lot since then! [''rapidly loses coherence''] I've grown, I've grown up a lot, in sounds, in sounds, duetothegirl, and, sounds strite, sound, in sound mind.

'''Matthew:''' Goddamn. This just sounds like a bunch of fucking whining. You're not even, you don't even sound like half the man that other Chris sounds like at this point. You don't sound like you've grown up. You play fucking Pokeymon all the time!

'''Chris:''' [''Chris's dander is up.''] I am, I am, I am a grown-up ''sir''! I have moved, I have [[Pokéwalker of Fail|moved on]] from Pokémon [[June 2010|years ago]]! I am a grown-up! I have moved on from the childish things.

'''Matthew:''' No, you didn't move from… you went from Pokémon to Sonichu. What the fuck? This is still just kid shit. You don't have a job. You're still living with your parents. Almost 30 years old. This is ridiculous. You want to date my daughter. You realize that she's LEAGUES above you right now. She's out of your reach.

'''Chris:''' [''Getting a word in edgewise after many stammers''] I have, I have, I have suffered through my own, through my own trials and tribulations that would be war-like. I have suffered through a whole bunch of… enduring physical pains as well. You just could not, you just could not imagine…

'''Matthew:''' [''laughing''] Physical pain! [''more laughter''] God, this is…

'''Chris:''' I have, I have worked myself to the bone a lot!

'''Matthew:''' This is ridiculous.

'''Chris:''' And I have, I have felt heartaches, and I have felt like…

'''Matthew:''' You don't know what physical pain feels like…

'''Chris:''' I have felt like I couldn't move on. But then, but then I still move on.

'''Matthew:''' …until you have taken a bullet in the fucking chest. I'm lucky to be alive. My comrade, one of my good buddies, he wasn't so lucky. He died right next to me. I carried him back…

'''Chris:''' [''humbled''] Yeah, well, well, yeah, that is, that was, that was very heroic and I commend you for that good sir.

'''Matthew:''' Sure. Yeah. I'm sure. You don't need to commend me. Now you're just kissing ass.

'''Chris:''' No! I am not just, I am not kissing ass!

'''Matthew:''' Okay. Well then. Alright. So really, okay… I have one more question, what do you have to offer my daughter, really? After I've heard all this, what exactly do you have to offer a future med student? She had a good fiancé, and now you think you can take her?

'''Chris:''' Yes I could, because I could offer, I can, I can offer her… a whole bunch of support that, that, that, that Chris could not offer. Like I am, I am, I am [[Honest Content|HONEST]]…

'''Matthew:''' Really? He's going to be published! He has a job lined up!

'''Chris:''' Like, I am honest, I am loyal, I am STRONG… good natured…

'''Matthew:''' Yeah, but this guy spoke several languages, he had connections in the comic-book industry, this guy could get a job right out of college, and you're mooching off the government, off of ''MY'' tax money! And you want to date my daughter. These two had so much in common, Kacey and Chris. She loved everything about him. And you? You just sit around, play with toys, and what, video games? Is that what you buy with your welfare money? Like Pokeyman shit?

'''Chris:''' I have not played with Pokémon [[Pokéwalker of Fail|for years]], sir!

'''Matthew:''' Okay, so what do you play with?

'''Chris:''' Hmph.

'''Matthew:''' You denied Pokeyman, but you didn't deny video games.

'''Chris:''' Okay, yeah, I, okay, I have, I have, I have played some Gui-, I have played some [[Guitar Hero]].

'''Matthew:''' Guitar Hero.

'''Chris:''' Yeah.

'''Matthew:''' What the hell is that?

'''Chris:''' I have to stand, I have to stand up to play, I have to stand up and play gitar.

'''Matthew:''' You have to stand up to play ''guitar''! Oh, wow! That's… why don't you… that's just pathetic. You think that's exercise? Do you play a real guitar? [[CWC More Than A Feeling|I think the real Chris could play a real guitar.]]

'''Chris:''' [''indignant''] I work, I work hard for my father in his, in his gar-, in his gar-, in his garden! I pulled weeds! Those weeds are very hard to pull!

'''Matthew:''' Pulled weeds? My grandma pulled weeds! My grandma had arthritis and she pulled weeds every day!

'''Chris:''' [''short sigh''] Well, I'm sorry to hear that your grandma had ar-, had arthritis. But I, but I, I am, I am very strong sir. And I tell you, it was very hard and torturing work to pull, to pull, to, I was working under the hot hot sun, it was, those were very hot days!

'''Matthew:''' And you still look like a, I dunno, you look pretty fat to me. I mean, my Kacey, Kacey exercises. And she lost weight, she looks, you know, she looks wonderful. And you? I mean, do you even know… what is the hot sun? I've been in the Middle East. You don't know hot until you've been out in the fuckin' shit.

'''Chris:''' Okay, yes, okay, yes, I will agree with you that I cannot, I cannot understand heat, truly understand heat, until I'm truly in the middle of a desert. But still, it was, those were very hot days. And I pulled those weeds. And I even, I even, I even placed lumber around the edges of that garden, and I hammered labels of those flowers, and my, that my, that my father hand-wrote accurately, and figured, and, pat out the, and he showed me where to place them, I even helped him a little bit with placing them. And I placed, I hammered those labels hard into those pieces of lumber.

'''Matthew:''' That's, that just sounds like basic chores. Lumber, pulling weeds, on a good day I had to do 200 push-ups. And I saw [[30 Push-Ups|those push-ups]] you did, whatever you call them. Push-ups? That's not push-ups. That was, I dunno, you looked like you were flopping around like a… fish. Actually kinda looked like you were humping the floor or something.

'''Chris:''' [''unfazed''] I even mowed the lawn!

'''Matthew:''' Mowed the lawn! [''laughs''] Wow.

'''Chris:''' Yeah, and again, those were very hot days, too. And sometimes the lawnmower would quit on me! And I'd have to practically kick-start it, with my foot, I had to kick it to start it up again!

'''Matthew:''' You know, I see seven-year-olds who mow lawns all day for a summer job. All day. All summer. They do it just, they handle it just fine, why can't you? Oh, yeah, and they get paid for it, might I add.

'''Chris:''' [''Getting very angry at this point''] Yeah, well, I was not, well, I was not paid for mowing the lawn. And also, you know what? Another heavy-duty burden I had to take care of, and that I wasn't paid for? When [[Patti Chandler|my dog]] died, a few years ago, she was a sweet dog, I moved, I lifted and carried her doghouse to the site where we buried her. Her doghouse. That thing had to weigh, like, five, ten tons.

'''Matthew:''' [''laughs in disbelief'']

'''Chris:''' It was very heavy! I carried that thing.

===Death and Fake Internet Women (48:08-54:05)===
'''Matthew:''' [''about to break down laughing''] You're talking to me about how your dog died, you're talking about someone who has lost friends and family in national tragedies. My mother, I had… I had to deal with the loss of my mother, not to old age, but to… fucking… a plane by fucking… piloted by terrorists. My gran-, my mother was killed by terrorists.

'''Chris:''' Yeah. Yeah, my…

'''Matthew:''' And your… but, but your heavy burden is your dog died. I'm sorry, but boo, really, I've had dogs die, it sucks, but that's nothing… that's nothing…

'''Chris:''' Y'know, yeah, well, yeah, well, yeah, well, I was very sad when she died. It was not a matter of age, it was pretty much, yeah, she was very sickly, there was nothing we could do, so I, I signed that form to give them permission to put her to sleep. I let her, I let her go, that was an emotional burden on me. And I have, I have been, my aunt Corrina died just a few months, just a few months, just last January, because of, because of heart cancer.

'''Matthew:''' [''laughs in disbelief''] Are you, are you…

'''Chris:''' It was very, it was very saddening, I was very…

'''Matthew:''' I'm sorry, are you messing with me? Are you trying to compare the loss of my mother, the loss of someone who took care of me for years, to a dog? [[IRC_(20_January_2009)|Are you calling my mother a dog]]?

'''Chris:''' I am not calling your mother a dog.

'''Matthew:''' [''[[stress sigh]] of his own''] I had to dig my mother out of the rubble of the Twin Towers. I mean, and you had to lift a doghouse.

'''Chris:''' Yeah, well, I'll tell you, that doghouse was heavier than any tombstone. And that doghouse pretty much was the tombstone!

'''Matthew:''' Sounds like you're fucking with me now.

'''Chris:''' I am not! I am being very HONEST with you sir! I'm telling you the honest truth from my, from my sound mind and my sound heart.

'''Matthew:''' I'm starting to, I'm starting to really kinda doubt this whole honesty thing you keep talking about. How do you think, how do you think Kacey would feel if I told her about this? What do you think, how do you think she would feel about you comparing this whole lifting a 30-, 50-pound doghouse to maybe a 100-, 200-pound tombstone? That doghouse was probably, what, made of wood? This is solid rock!

'''Chris:''' No, it was, it was, no, I mean, yeah, this is, it was wood ''and'' plastic, that thing had to weigh over a hundred pounds!

'''Matthew:''' Plastic's pretty light, you know. I'm sorry, this is, this isn't even close to the same.

'''Chris:''' [''heavy sigh'']

'''Matthew:''' And that's just, that's just that… you know, if you had told this to Kacey, she would probably be, she would be so angry. You're just totally grasping at [[The Oversized Drinking Straw of Fail|straws]] at this point.

'''Chris:''' [''mutters under his breath''] Yeah, well, also I've been to a whole bunch of this, also, to go off talk, off-topic a bit, or going back to an old topic, that I have been DECEIVED BY THE TROLLS! A bunch of them pretending to be women who I thought were honest over the Internet when I was talking to them for the first time for a while!

'''Matthew:''' WHO GIVES A SHIT about the Internet?

'''Chris:''' And some, and some of them, and some of them were actually, and some of them were actually two honest women…

'''Matthew:''' BE A MAN…

'''Chris:''' And those [[PandaHalo|two]] [[Ivy|women]] died! I was very, I was very heartbroken by that! And yet I was even more heartbroken when I found out that…

'''Matthew:''' YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW THESE PEOPLE!

'''Chris:''' I, I… I may not admit, okay, well, yes…

'''Matthew:''' Wait, wait, didn't you say, fake women? Did you say that these women were fake? So wait, these women were probably fake… fake women died?

'''Chris:''' [''in a state of great consternation''] I didn't, I didn't… no! I'm talking about, no, two of them, a coup-, a few of them were real women.

'''Matthew:''' And how many of these women have you gone through?

'''Chris:''' I have not been able to go to them. But one, there was this [[Julie|one time]] where I actually thought it was a woman, and [[Ohio_trip|I actually drove a whole, a whole, a whole day's worth]] back and forth, almost 24 hours, from my house to Cleveland, Ohio, where it turned out that was, that was, that was a bad lead. I drove a whole, I drove a whole, almost 20, I drove from five in the morning to 12 o'clock, to about, just after about, after midnight. To find out that the destination was a bad one, and that was, that was an [[BlueSpike|imposterous troll]].

'''Matthew:''' So you went to go to... Ohio, for a fake woman, but my Kacey just told me that you won't go and visit her, a real woman?

'''Chris:''' I, I, I, I... [''angry, incoherent stammering'']

'''Matthew:''' I am looking at Kacey right ''now''.

'''Chris:''' But you're in...

'''Matthew:''' You wouldn't even go to D.C., that's like two hours away. And you've met her before, for God's sake?

'''Chris:''' Yeah, well, I mean, I was more naïve, I was more naïve back then, but I am very less naïve now. I have been very less naïve for about, for about a year now.

===More Shit Hits the Fan (54:05-58:09)===
'''Matthew:''' I am not convinced.

'''Chris:''' [''snapping''] '''OH COME ON. YOU SHOULD BE CONVINCED!'''

'''Matthew:''' [''Laughing with frustration''] "Oh come on"? You know who, you know who you're talking to, son? What the fuck is this? Now you're just talking back to me like a little kid. Don't yell at me, you maggot! Piece of shit.

'''Chris:''' Yeah, well, yeah, you, you're obviously talking to me like, as if I was a child. And I am not a child.

'''Matthew:''' Because you are a child, you're acting like a child.

'''Chris:''' I am not a child, I am a MAN. [[I AM STRONG|I am a STRONG MAN]]. I have been through a whole bunch of emotional and physical traumas in my life!

'''Matthew:''' You haven't proven a thing to me, you've shown me nothing that could even possibly suggest that you are a man.

'''Chris:''' Well, sometimes my memory fails me!

'''Matthew:''' You're just sitting around in your parents' house, crying about your [[Patti Chandler|little dog,]] playing video games, whining about women on the Internet. Some lazy little... maggot--

'''Chris:''' [''Full-blown tard rage erupts''] I AM NOT, I AM NOT LAZY!

'''Matthew:''' You're living with your parents and you don't have a job, how is that not lazy?!

'''Chris:''' Well, maybe I, maybe I don't have a job, but I DO WORK around the house! I lift a whole bunch of...

'''Matthew:''' Chores! I do those every day, and I'm retired!

'''Chris:''' They're not just chores! They're not just chores.

'''Matthew:''' Yes, they ''are'', EVERYONE works around the house!

'''Chris:''' Maybe everyone works around the house, but they don't...the, they differ from burden to burden to... [''stress sigh''] ...heavy weights! I mean...

'''Matthew:''' And, and, I've seen--an-an, you know, I was looking around that YouTube, I saw [[Tour of Chris's House|a video of your house]], it's a ''fuckin' MESS!'' You call that working around the house? [''stutters in disbelief''] Are you trying to be, and you're trying to be some kind of house-husband or something?

'''Chris:''' Well, most of that mess belongs to my mother and I can't really..move, I can't really organize it without her being able to help me, without her being able to point out where to put everything!

'''Matthew:''' [''sarcastically''] Oh, it's your ''mom's'' fault. And...that's, that's real mature.

'''Chris:''' She's a, well, okay, yeah, I admit, she's a bit of a pack rat. And since she retired from secretarial work...she's been livin' more lazy, I'll admit that.

'''Matthew:''' But your room is a mess, too. What do you have to say about that? I mean, this is...this is nothing. Uh I mean, at this rate, you're not getting...

'''Chris:''' [''On the edge of tears''] It may be nothing, it may be, it may be nothing...

'''Matthew:''' You're a pack rat too.

'''Chris:''' I am not a, I am not that bad of a pack rat. I mean, I even brought, I even brought a bunch, I even brought practically all that stuff into the house. And I had to bring in a couch and I had to bring in the hutch, among other pieces of furniture, among the smaller pieces of stuff, smaller bunches of junk that my mom got! That's a lot, that's a lot of heavy lifting. And it was very hard.

'''Matthew:''' Who doesn't have to push furniture? All this stuff you're talking about, these heavy burdens sound like stuff everybody has to do at least at some point, you know, maybe every....while, this is no, I mean, this is nothing, this is just regular, everyday housework. This isn't real work. This is chores.

'''Chris:''' I... oh! And you don't think...!

'''Matthew:''' This is kids' stuff.

'''Chris:''' Oh, and you don't think [[Chris and Remorse|carrying your soldier friend on your back was a heavy burden]]... That was a heavy burden!

'''Matthew:''' That's...! What the fuck, is that--are you ''mocking me?!''

'''Chris:''' I am not mocking you!

'''Matthew:''' [''stammering in utter shock''] Is this... are you comparing...

'''Chris:''' I'm just, I'm just pointing out, I'm just pointing out that what you did was a heavy burden under…

'''Matthew:''' I don't know even know what to say to this!

'''Chris:''' Yeah, I mean, that is, yeah, that is a heavy burden because you were fighting to save, you were fighting to save your friend's life.

===Kacey Returns (58:09-1:02:35)===
'''Matthew:''' [''still stuttering in disbelief''] Kacey, c'mon, come over here. You gotta listen to this guy. This is great.

'''Kacey:''' Oh, what, daddy?

'''Matthew:''' Ah, just-just, what is... I mean... [''clears throat''] I mean, this guy is just fucking with me…

'''Kacey:''' Daddy, you sound mad, what's wrong?

'''Matthew:''' This guy's just fucking with me, he's not even, he's not even respecting me at all. He's a disrespectful...I dunno--

'''Kacey:''' What, he's disrespecting you? What is he doing?

'''Matthew:''' I don't know, he's just talking about all this little ol' faggot kiddie shit... and how he has to ''move chairs'' and do - ''oh no'' - housework! And he's comparing that to when your grandma died.

'''Kacey:''' He's WHAT?

'''Matthew:''' Yeah. I mean, he's talking about all these "heavy burdens" he's had to face, you know, and he's saying it's a heavy burden, kind of like...you know, of course, you remember when we lost grandma...how would you forget?

'''Kacey:''' Oh my God, I know, I had to volunteer just to get my mind off it...

'''Matthew:''' I mean, and this guy, this guy has nothing to offer you.

'''Chris:''' [''combative''] I have a lot to offer her!

'''Matthew:''' Really, wh--

'''Chris:''' I have plenty to offer her!

'''Matthew:''' Wh--like what?! ''Like what?!?!''

'''Kacey:''' Don't yell at my father like that! You need to respect him, he's a retired Marine!

'''Chris:''' [''sigh''] I do respect your father, Kacey.

'''Kacey:''' Well, you need to be nice to him! What are you going to do if he doesn't like you?

'''Chris:''' [''sigh''] I mean, I want, I was being nice to him, but then he started to insult me, he was talking down to me like as if I was a child, when I'm an adult.

'''Matthew:''' I already don't like...

'''Kacey:''' Chris! He's way older than you! He's your elder! To him, you ARE a child, ''I'm'' a child to him!

'''Chris:''' Okay, well, I guess in compar-, I guess in comparison, yeah, that is true. But I just don't like being talked, I just feel, I just basically, just turns me off when I'm talked down to and such. I mean, I have to put up with my father talking down to me and such, and he starts more arguments than there are flies in the garbage dump!

'''Kacey:''' Okay, but my father doesn't get angry easily.

'''Chris:''' [''heavy sigh'']

'''Kacey:''' Like, you can't act like a child like that! He is your elder! You're trying to ask him PERMISSION.

'''Chris:''' Yeah...

'''Kacey:''' ''What are you doing?''

'''Chris:''' Well... yeah...

'''Kacey:''' Apologize!

'''Chris:''' Yeah... [''heavy sigh''] Yeah. [''more sighing''] I apologize, Matthew. I apologize for talking back to you. I just got, I got, I got carried away. Especially from feeling like I was being talked down to. Mm… I mean, surely, yeah, you can understand that, I'm sure your father talked down to you, you, even when you were about my age. And I do not mean to insult you or your father, I just felt like it was a fair compar-, I just felt like it was a good comparison there, but anyway. I apologize for yelling at you, and raising my voice.

'''Matthew:''' I don't even know how you think you can call me by my name right now.

'''Chris:''' [''sigh'']

'''Matthew:''' I don't believe a goddamn word you just said. I'm sorry. No, I'm not sorry, actually.

'''Chris:''' Well... believe it or not, it is the whole, honest truth, that I have been telling you this whole time.

'''Matthew:''' Honest. [''snort''] If that's the truth, I'm afraid to say you're pretty fucked. You're just using people from the Internet as scapegoats for your problems. And you were lying when you first met Kacey. That's what I've gotten about this. You... are not good enough for my daughter. Chris, on the other hand, has my blessing.

'''Chris:''' [''massive stress sigh'']

===Literature and Health (1:02:35-1:13:17)===
'''Matthew:''' And if the Internet is such a problem for you, I mean, just get rid of it. What do you have to do? Just call up whoever it is, AOL, whatever it is you use, just call 'em and say "I don't want the Internet anymore." That's all you have to do. You don't need it for anything. Go to a library!

'''Chris:''' Yeah, well, I have a bunch… yeah, well, I have a bunch of ties on the Internet and for your information I do go to libraries. I read a lot of books.

'''Matthew:''' Really? What was the last book you read?

'''Chris:''' {{anchor|Mockingbird}}The last book I read... was ''[[Wikipedia:To Kill a Mockingbird|To Kill a Mockingbird]]''.

'''Matthew:''' That's high-school shit.

'''Chris:''' You call this high-school, I call it adult, I call it...

'''Matthew:''' Kacey read that in high school, Kacey read that as a freshman in high school.

'''Chris:''' I call it adult drama.

'''Matthew:''' An adult drama.

'''Chris:''' Yeah. [''pause''] It was very dramatic, and I felt for the characters in that, in that story, just like I feel for every character, all the characters in the stor-, in the stories that I have read, throughout my whole life.

'''Matthew:''' So-so what exactly did you learn from this book?

'''Chris:''' [''long pause''] I...have...learned.....that I have to be able to...cope and be patient with, with a, with everybody who makes, a whole lot of people that may appear to be impatient or that could be hard to put up with. Like [[Honor roll|George had to put up with Lennie]] throughout the story. I mean, I'd say that's...

'''Matthew:''' That's ''[[Wikipedia:Of Mice and Men|Of Mice and Men]]''.

'''Chris:''' Oh, I'm sorry, I'm getting my stories mixed up. Yeah. Yeah. ''To Kill a Mockingbird''. Yeah.

'''Matthew:''' Yeeeaaaaah... did you even read this book?

'''Chris:''' Yes I did! The dramatic story, the story about that girl who was living with her family throughout the Depression and there was that guy in the store who was nice enough to leave her gifts in the tree trunk. That was like, that was definitely a story of, like, definitely, you know, be kind to your neighbor and they'll, and they'll, and they'll be kind to you. That's still another kind of, another, it's another story where you have to learn to be patient...

'''Matthew:''' That doesn't sound like the American classic that I know. I'm sorry. This is... just sounds like a bunch of horseshit. Do you remember the court scene?

'''Chris:''' I'm sorry, the what?

'''Matthew:''' The court scene in the book? That was pretty big, it was a pretty major part of the book. Do you even remember who [[Wikipedia:Atticus Finch|Atticus Finch]] was? In fact, that was probably the pivotal moment of the book.

'''Chris:''' Atticus... hm... Atticus... hm, I-I do believe that was the lawyer in that story.

'''Matthew:''' Yesss... man, you call yourself smart? You aren't smart enough for Kacey. I mean, when did you-when did you read this?

'''Chris:''' I...I've read it, about a month ago.

'''Matthew:''' A month ago.

'''Chris:''' Yeah.

'''Matthew:''' I-you know, I think the last book Kacey read was last week. And she reads books, y'know, she reads books like you probably stuff candy down your throat.

'''Chris:''' [''rage button pushed''] Stuff...candy...don't...[''sigh''] I stuff vegetables down my throat! I stuff green beans! I stuff broccoli! I stuff corn! I stuff carrots!

'''Matthew:''' Wooooowww! [''laughs''] What the fuck are you talking about? I mean, I don't even know what the hell...

'''Chris:''' I eat and drink healthy.

'''Matthew:''' And you look like that. I...you don't even know what I just said, do you? You completely missed that I was, that little analogy back there.

'''Chris:''' No, no, I...

'''Matthew:''' Kacey says you eat [[McDonald's]]. You say you eat healthy, but you eat at McDonald's?

'''Chris:''' I have a, I have salads over at McDonald's. And I drink the lemonade over there.

'''Matthew:''' That lemonade is full of sugar. You know, [[Liquid|Chris]] is, Chris is fit, I've seen that man, he has rock-hard abs. That guy makes a Marine proud. And he can cook, he doesn't go to McDonald's because he doesn't need to.

'''Chris:''' Well, I can cook too! And sometimes I do cook!

'''Matthew:''' You know, he and Kacey like to go running together. Why don't you go running with Kacey, rather than sitting around eating fast food all day?

'''Chris:''' I do go out, I do go out for jogs, sir. I do go out jogging. And if Kacey was here I would be happy to go jogging with her. Or even running, I'd be happy to do that as well.

'''Matthew:''' You think you could do five miles like Kacey and Chris do? Five miles?

'''Chris:''' Yep!

'''Matthew:''' That's a brisk jog.

'''Chris:''' Yes, I could do five miles with Kacey.

'''Matthew:''' Really.

'''Chris:''' Yes.

'''Matthew:''' Someone who looks like you can run five miles? I'm sorry, that's bullshit.

'''Chris:''' You're... [''angry sigh'']

'''Matthew:''' You look like you couldn't even do five seconds running. In fact, I was watching, I was watching those push-ups, you got winded after… that was thirty seconds of push-ups and you were sweating like a pig.

'''Chris:''' [''indignant''] Well, wouldn't you sweat?

'''Matthew:''' I don't... with that much…? Fuck, that's nothing.

'''Chris:''' WARRIORS, WARRIORS...

'''Matthew:''' I'm a Marine. Not after...a few push-ups like that? That's nothing. Okay, but...how much and how often do you jog? I sweat maybe...maybe after, I don't know, ten miles on a hot day.

'''Chris:''' I have been jogging for about fifteen minutes on a daily basis.

'''Matthew:''' Fifteen minutes. So you go… you go, what, a quarter of a mile and you call it quits? That's pussy shit. And that's just jogging. Kacey could run, Kacey runs for at least an hour.

'''Chris:''' Well, that's good.

'''Matthew:''' Five miles is like a two-hour jog, you know.

'''Chris:''' Yeah, well, I have a, I have a whole bunch of potential, I can run five miles with Kacey.

'''Matthew:''' I would love to see that. I mean, why don't you? You can't… you say you could. You're just saying you have potential. That doesn't sell me. You can't sell me with "potential." Why don't you run five miles, and maybe, maybe I'll think otherwise.

'''Chris:''' It would be hard to video, to video-record five mile running. But I can run five miles, with Kacey.

'''Matthew:''' You can?

'''Chris:''' Yes, I can! And I will the first chance I get!

'''Matthew:''' But why with Kacey, though, why can't you just do it on your own? You have a camera, don't you? It wouldn't be so hard to just hold a camera and run, would it? That's easily, easily do-able.

'''Chris:''' Yeah, well…

'''Matthew:''' Why don't you just figure out how to do that? You said you're good with computers. I don't know shit about computers and I can do that. I barely even know what a [[Wikipedia:Microsoft Windows|Windows]] is.

'''Chris:''' You barely know what a Windows is?

'''Matthew:''' Don't... [''sputters''] ...don't patronize me.

'''Chris:''' I'm just trying to, I'm just trying to understand what you just said, you say you don't understand Windows?

'''Matthew:''' What I'm trying to say is, I don't know shit about computers and I could figure out how to do that. I could figure out how to hold a camera and fuckin' run for five miles. That's… how could you not figure out how to do that?

'''Chris:''' Yeah, well, think about this, do you think the batteries would be able to last five miles?

'''Matthew:''' Running? Shit. You're running, you're not jogging, it's not gonna take two hours.

'''Chris:''' Yeah, well, still, yeah, well... yeah, well, I can't...

'''Matthew:''' Besides, think of it as a time limit of some sort, you know? You gotta run fast enough so you can get all of it in before the batteries run out. That would take like… half an hour at most. Batteries last that long.

'''Chris:''' Alright, you want a half hour running? I'll be happy to do a half hour of running with my digital camera.

'''Matthew:''' [''laughs''] Fine. Show me.

'''Chris:''' Alright, I will.

'''Matthew:''' Until then, until then, you are not good enough for Kacey. You are just a maggot.

'''Chris:''' Well. You may call me a maggot, but I'm a pretty dang strong one.

'''Matthew:''' I'm gonna go talk to Kacey, I gotta tell her, you do not deserve Kacey. Kacey lifts more than you, how does that feel? [[Power|The strong man]] outdone by a woman.

'''Chris:''' Well I may not feel pleasant, if that was the case, then I could not say I did not try.

'''Matthew:''' [''laughs'']

===Liquid Chris and Minimum Wage Jobs (1:13:17-1:19:04)===
'''Chris:''' But I...

'''Matthew:''' While you're at it, you don't, you don't try, if you had tried you would have gotten out of your house, you would have gotten a job, you would have… you would be like [[Liquid Chris|Chris]].

'''Chris:''' [''long pause''] Yeah, well, I am much stronger and I am much better than [[Liquid Chris|Chris]].

'''Matthew:''' I don't think so.

'''Chris:''' Oh, yes I am!

'''Matthew:''' But why don't you have, you don't have a job! You're not stronger than [[Liquid Chris|Chris]], you're not smarter than Chris.

'''Chris:''' I am stronger and I am smarter than Chris!

'''Matthew:''' You're not living on your own. How can you even say that? And he's younger than you!

'''Chris:''' I say that because it's true.

'''Matthew:''' I don't think so.

'''Chris:''' You do not think so... you may not think so...

'''Matthew:''' I was so happy, when Kacey said she was going to marry [[Liquid Chris|Chris]]. But then, I don't know, he vanished or something, I don't know what happened…

'''Chris:''' Yeah, that would be the point where he made his video on [[YouTube]] where he [[CChanSonichuCWC Videos, August-November 2009#GONE|pretended he was being kidnapped]] and then that's where he hid away for a number of, for a few months.

'''Matthew:''' Yeah, and that devastated her. You don't know how much she missed him.

'''Chris:''' I do, I do, because she has shared that with me.

'''Matthew:''' I mean, I would much rather believe him…

'''Chris:''' She has shared that with me and I have comforted the her. I have emotionally supported her.

'''Matthew:''' I don't think she... she wasn't nearly that, I don't think she was nearly as happy as when the police finally called her about that. I think you're just trying to get, I think you're just trying to get my little Kacey for a booty call.

'''Chris:''' Believe me sir, it would not just be for a booty call, it would be for a strong relationship with all the loyalty and trust and honesty that a woman can ever want. [''shifts to a momentous tone, half under his breath''] EVER.

 '''Matthew:''' But you can't even move out. She needs a man, a man who can support himself and keep a job. You got fired from [[Wendy's]], most people quit because it sucks. You got FIRED. You weren't GOOD ENOUGH for Wendy's. What are you gonna do, what are you gonna do if she gets pregnant and she can't work?

'''Chris:''' If she gets pregnant and can't work, then I would be working. I would be working VERY HARD AND HEAVILY.

'''Matthew:''' What kind of job?

'''Chris:''' If I have to I would be, get one of the heavyweights, that just moves the boxes around the, stock the shelves at a grocery store. At the least. If not better.

'''Matthew:''' That makes minimum wage at best. That's not a real job. You know how much minimum wage is?

'''Chris:''' At the current rate, it's about $8 an hour.

'''Matthew:''' That's not good enough! Get a good job! You can't live off that! Especially after taxes.

'''Chris:''' Yeah, well, I can get a good job, and I will.

'''Matthew:''' If you want to do lifting, you go work in a warehouse or something. And last I checked, minimum wage was $7.25.

'''Chris:''' [''takes a contemptuous tone''] Huh! You must have checked, no offense, but you must have checked like five years ago. [''In fact, [[Wikipedia:List of US states by minimum wage|Matt is correct]].'']

'''Matthew:''' And how would you know? You don't have a job!

'''Chris:''' Because it was over five years ago, I was working for that minimum wage, and that was $7.50.

'''Matthew:''' That wasn't minimum wage.

'''Chris:''' Yes it was. And that was back at Wa-Wendy's!

'''Matthew:''' You know you can get paid more at jobs than minimum wage? I just looked it up right now, it says $7.25.

'''Chris:''' Hm. Maybe that's average minimum wage.

'''Matthew:''' Don't lie to me. Look...

'''Chris:''' I am not lying to you.

'''Matthew:''' Kacey, come on, Kacey, come over here, listen to this horseshit, ''listen to this horseshit''.

'''Chris:''' [''heavy sigh'']

'''Kacey:''' What's wrong now, Daddy?

'''Matthew:''' What's this he's talking about… minimum wage is $7.25, right?

'''Kacey:''' Yeah. It went up in July, I remember because it was around my birthday.

'''Matthew:''' This guy's lying again. Why is it... I'm looking right here on this webpage, that's exactly what it says.

'''Kacey:''' Yeah, it happened on July 24, that was like…

'''Matthew:''' Why does this guy keep lying to me? How do I know that anything he says is true?

'''Chris:''' I stand corrected! I stand corrected. On current minimum wage.

'''Matthew:''' Don't argue with me.

'''Chris:''' Alright.

===Respect and Listening Skills (1:19:04-1:24:45)===
'''Kacey:''' Is he being disrespectful again, Daddy?

'''Matthew:''' He's always been… he's been disrespectful this whole time.

'''Chris:''' [''heavy sigh''] I have not been lying!

'''Matthew:''' When Kacey says it, when Kacey says it you believe it now.

'''Kacey:''' I just don't understand.

'''Matthew:''' I don't understand either.

'''Chris:''' I can't say I'm in full understanding either.

'''Kacey:''' That doesn't even make sense. Like, I shouldn't have to pick up the other line and have to hear this. I mean, what are you doing, are you trying to sabotage this?

'''Chris:''' No. Just, throughout, throughout this whole conversation I have been telling the [[True and honest|honest truth]], from memory. As far as I know.

'''Kacey:''' Okay, but this doesn't make sense. Like, [[Liquid Chris|Chris]] charmed my dad within five minutes. Why are you still fighting with him? Why are you lying to my father?

'''Chris:''' I have not been lying to your father. I have been telling him the truth throughout my best and honest knowledge. From my heart and from my head.

'''Kacey:''' What are you wanting me to think, that you're dumb or something?

'''Chris:''' I... wh... no. [''pause''] I, I... [''drowned out by Kacey'']

'''Kacey:''' Well, then what's going on?! Why does my dad look so upset? I haven't seem him this upset in a long time.

'''Chris:''' Well, I can't read, I cannot read his mind, so…

'''Kacey:''' Well, no, no-one expects you to, but you could be respectful to him.

'''Chris:''' Yeah, um, I mean, yeah, I was doing my best to be respectful. But then… and then he started, he started…

'''Kacey:''' My Dad is not going to lie to me, and obviously whenever I get on the phone you're calm and everything, so is something going on when I'm not on the phone? Like are you being two-faced?

'''Chris:''' No, I am not being two-faced. I have been one-f-, I have been the one-faced this whole conversation. I swear, hand to [[God]].

'''Kacey:''' You shouldn't do that, we don't swear to God, and my dad wouldn't lie to me.

'''Matthew:''' One-faced side of bullshit.

'''Chris:''' Yeah, he's been contradicting me, and talking to me in a negative way…

'''Kacey:''' Okay, you guys, I'm going to go. Talk nice.

'''Chris:''' I have been, I have been, I was talking nice. And then he started contradicting me with those words, like, yeah, and, uh, hm, and put, and putting me down, like even call, even call, even calling me a pussy, or, among other things. And then that, and then that just... [[Family Guy|grinded my gears]].

'''Matthew:''' You know, Kacey is gone. She's not listening right now. She didn't hear anything you just said.

'''Chris:''' [''heavy sigh'']

'''Portal Turret:''' Target lost.

'''Matthew:''' Stop [[sigh]]ing so much.

'''Chris:''' Well, I'm speechless at the moment.

'''Matthew:''' Didn't you just hear, she... hear her say she was getting off?

'''Chris:''' Uhh... hear her say she was getting off?

'''Matthew:''' Do you pay attention to anything? Ever? To the words that I am saying?

'''Chris:''' I, I'm, I do pay attention. But I, I did not hear "I'm getting off."

'''Matthew:''' This is... this, do you, do you even listen to her, orm, her at all? I mean, how can you be a good boyfriend? You don't listen to anything.

'''Chris:''' I, I do, I do listen! And I, and ob-, obviously, she must have said it in a quiet tone, because I did not hear it. [''Actually, Chris was talking over her at the time, but never mind.'']

'''Matthew:''' But this is... she was pretty upset. She wasn't that quiet.

'''Chris:''' W...well, I'm sorry she's upset.

'''Matthew:''' And now, what I'm saying right now, is that before you can say you are better than Chris, you need to get a job, you need to move out from your parents, you need to be independent. You need to show me that you're a man. And you… you also have to have the ability to not lie to me. I'm getting all tongue-tied, because… just… you don't know how frustrating this is. I mean, I haven't done that in years.

'''Chris:''' Yes, I agree with you, this is frustrating.

'''Matthew:''' And you are lucky her mother isn't here.

'''Chris:''' And I pro-, and I send… I promise you. I have not been lying.

'''Matthew:''' How is this, how is this frustrating to you? You sound like you just have the easiest life in the world.

'''Chris:''' Because, because, because, because you're, because you're frustrated, and your frustration is reflecting onto me and it's making me feel frustrated. It's making me feel frustrated.

===Chris's Pathetic Life and Diseased Ticker (1:24:05-1:36:33)===
'''Matthew:''' You sit around... what are you going to do after this? You're gonna go home, you're gonna go play [[video games]] again or something?

'''Chris:''' No...

'''Matthew:''' Nobody can get you to do anything. Play your [[Pokémon|Pokeymans]], watch [[TV]]. [[Biological clock|Sleep.]] Eat [[McDonald's]]. That's, that's your life.

'''Chris:''' That is not my life.

'''Matthew:''' Isn't it?

'''Chris:''' It's a lot, it's a lot more than that. I do a lot more than...

'''Matthew:''' Oh, yeah, I forgot, you do chores, too.

'''Chris:''' See, this, you know, this is why I was talking to Kacey about...

'''Matthew:''' You talk and you get angry at people on the Internet who you've never seen before.

'''Chris:''' Yeah, see, right now you're just… you're just saying some, saying some of the things that sit aside from the good for me, honest, from, aside from the good things, yeah, everything I've said, I have been, I have been very honest about, and you're just taking the bad pieces that can, you're just taking some of that honesty and you're just reflecting it onto me and, you're just making it sound bad. Like it's a bad thing. And that makes me feel bad.

'''Matthew:''' It IS a bad thing. What good qualities do you have that aren't LIES? You started this whole relationship on a lie. My daughter doesn't deserve that. And now you're blaming me... for all this that's going on.

'''Chris:''' Yeah, fuck it, I'm gonna, could you just, look, okay, well, you did not let me say that...

'''Matthew:''' You just met me.

'''Chris:''' Yeah, okay, well, I'm talking to you over the... phone, that is [''dissolves into gibberish momentarily'']

'''Matthew:''' You don't... it just sounds like you don't want to admit any of your faults. You just...

'''Chris:''' I am, I am happy to admit my faults.

'''Matthew:''' Okay.

'''Chris:''' Yes. Okay, well, for one, sometimes, I don't think things through and I make, end up in the decision I thought was good at first may end up being the bad decision.

'''Matthew:''' O...kay?

'''Chris:''' But yeah, I have been improving on that and thinking things through fully. Making sure that…

'''Matthew:''' Everyone does that, everyone, you know, makes a mistake every now and then. Okay?

'''Chris:''' Yeah, well...

'''Matthew:''' Let's start with something easy. Let's tell me... Tell me... How about you admit that you're, well, okay, I'll just say it. [[Obesity|FAT]]. And lazy.

'''Chris:''' Okay, well, I admit I do have a [[Buddha belly]], but I am not lazy, I do get out and about, I exercise, I jog and work out, and I eat healthy.

'''Matthew:''' Doesn't show at all. How often do you watch TV? And you said you jog for fifteen minutes. That's… that's not gonna burn calories.

'''Chris:''' Yeah, well, I'm working up to thirty minutes.

'''Matthew:''' Thirty minutes. And compared to... how does this compare to how much TV you watch?

'''Chris:''' For your information, I watch only about four hours of television.

'''Matthew:''' Four hours of television.

'''Chris:''' In a day.

'''Matthew:''' A day. That... I don't think that's true. That just doesn't sound, you kinda paused right there? You sound like you actually had to think about it for a second. I don't think that's true.

'''Chris:''' Well, when I had to count it up, I did have to think about it. But yes, it is true, I watch four hours of television in a day.

'''Matthew:''' Four hours, that's still quite a bit, hasn't Kacey told you anything about how important it is to take care of yourself?

'''Chris:''' Yes, we have, we have talked about that. And I have listened to her about that, and I have been taking the appropriate steps and abiding with her words in mind and heeding her advice as such.

'''Matthew:''' Really... Because she's still pretty worried about you, she says. She think something's gonna happen to you, you know. She thinks it's not looking good. And didn't she, she told me you were on [[Wikipedia:Atorvastatin|Lipitor]]?

'''Chris:''' Hmm.

'''Matthew:''' I mean, I know about that stuff. That's something people my age take. I don't take it myself, but I know people who do.

'''Chris:''' Yeah, well, for your information, my doctor got me off, took me off Lipitor a couple of months ago.

'''Matthew:''' Really.

'''Chris:''' Yes.

'''Matthew:''' I still don't think you… You still don't sound like you're terribly healthy. Okay, watching TV aside, and you play video games, how long do you do that a day, huh? I mean, with how much you sit around, your metabolism must not be so hot.

'''Chris:''' How long...do I sit around? I would not say that I sit around that much. I would say...

'''Matthew:''' And play... Okay, how much do you play video games?

'''Chris:''' About two hours in a day.

'''Matthew:''' Two hours a day.

'''Chris:''' Yes.

'''Matthew:''' Okay, so that's at least six hours you spend sitting around doing absolutely nothing in your room. That's a quarter of a day. In six hours you could have worked a part-time job.

'''Chris:''' Yeah, well, I, but, the time I do not spend in front of the television is the time I spend exercising. That's about half of the day.

'''Matthew:''' You do not spend half of a day exercising. If you spent half a day exercising, you would have at least lost that little Buddha belly and those man-tits of yours.

'''Chris:''' [''offended by phrases he used himself moments ago''] Okay, now I'm feeling insulted with those, with what you just said there.

'''Matthew:''' And you just told me fifteen minutes, so you're lying again.

'''Chris:''' Yeah, well, maybe, yeah, well, fifteen minutes jogging, upon the pacing of the spacing of the jogging.

'''Matthew:''' Okay, so you don't even run fifteen minutes altogether, at one time?

'''Chris:''' It's fifteen, they're, fifteen minutes, they're fifteen-minute intervals, like I do fifteen minutes in one hour, then the next hour I do another fifteen minutes of jogging.

'''Matthew:''' But that doesn't help you at all. All that… That means there's 45 minutes of you doing nothing every hour. By then your heart rate has gone down, the exercise is gonna do nothing for you.

'''Chris:''' My heart rate has been, has been good.

'''Matthew:''' [''chuckles'']

'''Chris:''' I can guarantee that.

'''Matthew:''' Do you even know what you're talking about?

'''Chris:''' Yes, I do, I am talking...

'''Matthew:''' Do you even know how to check your heart rate?

'''Chris:''' Yes I do.

'''Matthew:''' Okay, how?

'''Chris:''' I put my fingers on my pulse, count the number of beats through ten seconds, and then I multiply by six. That's, that's…

'''Matthew:''' Where do you check for your pulse?

'''Chris:''' Put two fingers on my wrist or on my neck. Or put it on my chest where my heart is.

'''Matthew:''' Okay, so what's a good heart rate for you?

'''Chris:''' About seventy-two beats per minute.

'''Matthew:''' Seventy-two beats per minute.

'''Chris:''' To about a hundred beats per minute.

'''Matthew:''' Uh-huh. So what's your heart rate right now?

'''Chris:''' Alright... [''long silence''] Alright, let me find that...yeah. It's approximately, it is approximately eighty-four right now.

'''Matthew:''' Eighty-four from just sitting around?!

'''Kacey:''' Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on. I've been listening. Chris, that's a serious medical condition. What are you talking about? Normally your heart doesn't beat that fast unless you've done exercise.

'''Chris:''' Hm.

'''Kacey:''' That's like [[Wikipedia:arrhythmia|arrhythmia]] or [[Wikipedia:tachycardia|tachycardia]]. What are you doing?

'''Chris:''' Yeah, well, right, you know, well, I did get a little bit of [[stress]] from some of the conversation.

'''Kacey:''' Stress doesn't do that. That's like a serious medical condition. And I heard you talk to my dad, you don't listen to anything I say when I worry about you. You still go to [[McDonald's]], and I told you those salads aren't healthy. I bet you haven't even lost one pound. Don't you care that I think you're gonna die? [''Chris stammers briefly in response''] That you're probably going to lose motion in your body if you don't exercise enough? This is important to me!

'''Chris:''' Yeah. It is.

'''Kacey:''' What're you going to do? You're gonna die before you're thirty.

'''Chris:''' [''pause''] Hm. [''pause, then sigh'']

'''Matthew:''' Hmph.

'''Kacey:''' If anything, that means you have way too much caffeine in your system. If you have something that high. That's either, you can get that from smoking, from too much fat, from too much caffeine...

'''Chris:''' Hm. Yeah.

'''Kacey:''' [''Her voice breaks, on the verge of crying.''] It's like you don't even care! Dad was right, you are being disrespectful!

'''Chris:''' [''Attempting to sound empathetic''] Kacey, I do care. [''sigh''] Even though, even though it may not, even though it may show-- not show-- I do care. Believe me.

'''Kacey:''' Yeah. Because it's that hard for you to stop going to McDonald's. But you've still been going. Right?

'''Chris:''' I have been going less.

'''Kacey:''' It's not like I didn't... Less is not none! Fast food is bad! Period at the end!

'''Chris:''' [''On the defensive''] Yeah, but that was like once a week! Once in a week!

'''Kacey:''' Once a week is bad! Don't eat any! None!

'''Chris:''' Alright, I won't go there anymore. I won't go [[McDonald's]] anymore.

'''Kacey:''' Or any fast food!

'''Chris:''' Alright. I will not go to any fast food, I...

'''Kacey:''' Whatever. It's not like you haven't lied to me before. You're just probably lying to me now. Dad, I can't deal with this anymore…

'''Chris:''' I'M NOT LYING TO YOU! I promise you! I promise you! I promise you, Kacey. I promise you.

'''Matthew:''' She's gone again.

'''Chris:''' [''stress sigh'']

===Chris Blows It, but He's an American! (1:36:33-1:41:33)===
'''Matthew:''' She was pretty, ah... let's say you just blew it, man. She was— She was crying right there. You just fuckin' blew it. Big-time.

'''Chris:''' [''deep sigh'']

'''Matthew:''' I just heard the door slam. I wouldn't be surprised if she goes and calls Chris.

'''Chris:''' Hmph. Well...

'''Matthew:''' What do you have to say for yourself? [''Long silence ensues'']

'''Chris:''' Well, all I can say is... that's your opinion, and you have every right to your own opinion.

'''Matthew:''' It's not my opinion. It just happened. What the hell are you talking about? I'm talking about facts.

'''Chris:''' Yeah, you're talking about— Yes, you are talking about facts, but you have expressed a whole bunch of your own opinions about what you've heard from me the whole conversation.

'''Matthew:''' And that's all you have to say about the fact that you just upset my daughter? What are you...

'''Chris:''' That's my response— That's my response about you, but as for Kacey, you know, I just feel— I just feel very sad for her.

'''Matthew:''' I don't care what you have to say about me. This is about— You should care about Kacey, not me! You have to do something big.

'''Chris:''' I care about Kacey. I really, truly do.

'''Matthew:''' Okay. But if you want my opinion right now, I think you should stay away from my daughter. Unless you really, ''really'' turn around your life. You're not even close to Chris right now. You have to do something big to get her back. You have to get a job, at the very least. Lose, I dunno, fifty pounds. Move out. Then I might consider you, ''maybe''.

'''Chris:''' Okay.

'''Matthew:''' And you have to keep your promises, because she says you never do.

'''Chris:''' I do keep my promises.

'''Matthew:''' And I think she should be with her [[Liquid Chris|real fiancé]] right now. [''Long silence''] I mean, he treats her like a princess. You treat her like... a set of tits and ass.

'''Chris:''' No, I treat her like a princess as well. I treat her, more importantly... as a friend... a true friend, a good friend...

'''Matthew:''' That doesn't sound like it at all.

'''Chris:''' You don't know. I mean…

'''Matthew:''' I do know, because she talks to me.

'''Chris:''' Okay, well… points of view.

'''Matthew:''' I can't even stand your voice. So whiny, all this sighing, it's like a baby. You'll never be as good as Chris at this rate.

'''Chris:''' I am a lot better than Chris. [[Autism|Belieeeeeeeeve... me.]]

'''Matthew:''' You're not even a functioning human. You're leeching off my government.

'''Chris:''' I have a functioning image...

'''Matthew:''' I met Chris in real life, he's an upstanding young man. How are you better than this?

'''Chris:''' I...am an ''[[American]]!'' I am proud to be an American and [[I AM STRONG|I am ''strong'']]. I am an individual...

[''Portal'' can again be heard faintly in the background]

'''Matthew:''' Don't tell— Don't tell me you're an American.

[''Portal'' can again be heard]

'''Chris:''' I was born in America, I was raised in America my whole life, I never left the United States of America.

'''Matthew:''' You can't tell me you're patriotic... if you were patriotic, you wouldn't even have thought about making that video, that [[Twin Falling Towers|9/11 video]]. I still can't believe why you made that. It doesn't matter. You don't...do that! You're not acting like a patriot, you're acting more like a terrorist.

'''Chris:''' Well, I'm sorry I gave off that impression. At least I— At least I was man enough to admit I was wrong and I am. I did my best to undo the mistake by deleting that video and making the apology.

'''Matthew:''' You know, Chris and Kacey are Americans, too. And "sorry" doesn't undo the fact that you made that video.

===Love and Memories (1:41:33-1:46:21)===
'''Chris:''' It may not, but at least I admitted I was wrong. And it takes a man to admit when he is wrong.

'''Matthew:''' And you still made it. You... you're not a man. Stop trying to call yourself a man. I mean, it takes a real man to change, and you haven't.

'''Chris:''' I do change my habits. I have been changing my habits. And I have been better from the habits I have changed.

'''Matthew:''' That's a lie. You haven't done shit.

'''Chris:''' I... I have done a lot more than you can, than you are thinking right now. Or that you could ever think at this moment.

'''Matthew:''' You said you stopped eating McDonald's, and you didn't... That's such a simple little thing, and you still lied about it. You can't stop eating fast food. What makes you think you can turn around and get a job and stop leeching off the government? And stop lying to Kacey?

'''Chris:''' [''pauses''] Because... I am me, I have faith in me, and I am strong within myself.

'''Matthew:''' I bet you don't even love Kacey.

'''Chris:''' I do love Kacey!

'''Matthew:''' I bet if Kacey [[The End For Real|left you right now]], right this very moment, you would... [[CWC is Sad|you'd probably cry]], for maybe just a couple seconds, then [[Red Letter CWC Certified Day|you'd go out]] and find [[The Wallflower|another girl on the Internet]].

'''Chris:''' No!

'''Matthew:''' [[List of Love Quest candidates|Wouldn't you?]] And even if you do love Kacey, you don't love Kacey nearly as much as Chris loves Kacey.

'''Chris:''' I do love Kacey, truly and deeply. And I care about her, about that much, probably more.

'''Matthew:''' And so does Chris, and he can prove it, so why don't you? You can't even stop eating McDonald's for her.

'''Chris:''' [''pauses''] I can so prove it, and I will.

'''Matthew:''' God. You know, he knows her favorite color, and her favorite flower. I'm sure you don't.

'''Chris:''' Her favorite color is "tarquoise".

'''Matthew:''' Turquoise? That's… that's wrong.

'''Chris:''' It's a blue-green shade. ''[Chris is correct here, at least. On his [[Kacey#Kacey Date Log|creepy date]] with Kacey, she said her favorite color was [[Wikipedia:Teal (color)|teal]].]''

'''Matthew:''' Okay, favorite flower.

'''Chris:''' [''sigh''] I cannot say that I, I cannot say that I remember her favorite flower at the moment.

'''Matthew:''' Aha. Really.

'''Chris:''' It could have been maybe because she did not mention her favorite flower yet. But she did tell me her favorite color. It was a shade, it was a blue-green shade. So turquoise is ''close''.

'''Matthew:''' Can you remember anything? Okay, I bet you don't even remember some of the stuff I just said today. You probably don't even remember who in my family died in 9/11, do you? I just said that, what, half an hour ago?

'''Chris:''' You, you said that your daughter, that your daughter was giving blood in New York, right by the 9/11 site.

'''Matthew:''' Okay, but who DIED, who of my family died in 9/11?

'''Chris:''' The grandma.

'''Matthew:''' My grandma?

'''Chris:''' Her grandmother.

'''Matthew:''' Who is?

'''Chris:''' You did not mention her name.

'''Matthew:''' No... [''exasperated sigh''] ....no, okay, her grandmother, who is ''my''...?

'''Chris:''' Your mother.

'''Matthew:''' [''claps once''] How long did that just take you? Good boy! [''chuckles''] God, this is just like talking to a preschooler.

===Crossing the Naïve Line (1:46:21-1:52:36)===
'''Chris:''' I'm sorry, talking to a what?

'''Matthew:''' A preschooler. God. This is...man. You can't have Kacey, with...with this kind of, this is just ridiculous. I can't believe I'm talking to someone who's so... '''[[Naïve]].''' [''chuckles'']

'''Chris:''' [''angry intake of breath''] You just crossed a line. You just crossed a line. By saying the word "naïve." That is like the worst insult to me…

'''Matthew:''' What line?

'''Chris:''' 'A line'... you crossed the line. You've just... you just really ticked me off right there when you said that.

'''Matthew:''' What're you gonna do about it?

'''Chris:''' Nothing at the moment.

'''Matthew:''' "Nothing at the moment"?

'''Chris:''' Because I can't really do anything, I'm not right there in front of you, now, am I? I'm talking to you over the phone. The only thing I could do right now is let you know that you just crossed a line. By saying that word.

'''Matthew:''' Are you... wait, wait, wait a minute, are you trying to [[Death threats|threaten]] me? You trying to threaten an ex-Marine?

'''Chris:''' No, I... no, I am not threatening you, I am not threatening you. I am in no position to threaten an ex-Marine. And I understand that, and I respect you as such.

'''Matthew:''' Okay, so what are you saying? I could [[Kick the Autistic|whoop your naïve little ass with my pinky]] if I wanted to. [''repeats in a whisper, "naïve little ass with my pinky if I wanted to"''] Kacey could whoop your ass! I'm surprised she hasn't already.

'''Chris:''' Well. I would be able to defend myself.

'''Matthew:''' So you would hit Kacey?

'''Chris:''' No, I would not hit Kacey.

'''Matthew:''' Have you ever defended yourself?

'''Chris:''' I have defended myself.

'''Matthew:''' [''exhales in disbelief''] I'm sure that was something to see. Have you… I mean, I'm sure, I can see what would just happen. She'd probably try to throw a punch and you'd just bounce her off with your Buddha belly. Or so you call it.

'''Chris:''' I would either step to one side or block it with an arm!

'''Matthew:''' [''laughs''] That little limp-wristed twig of yours? You're pretty big, but you've got some pretty scrawny arms. And you're a pretty big target, she'd be… pretty hard to miss you. I've seen her punches.

'''Chris:''' Okay.

'''Matthew:''' I don't think you'd be able to react fast enough.

'''Chris:''' Yeah, well, you have not seen how I can, how fast I can react.

'''Matthew:''' You can't even react fast enough to what I'm saying.

'''Chris:''' Because I'd like to spell-check, and make sure I'm not making any mistakes. Make sure that my mind and my mouth are in sync.

'''Matthew:''' Making... mistakes…?

'''Chris:''' My mouth does not go faster than my mind.

'''Matthew:''' What are you even...?

'''Chris:''' That's another, that is another one of my flaws, I am willing to admit. Sometimes my mouth goes faster than my brain.

'''Matthew:''' Well, I bet that's not the [[Slow-in-the-minds|only thing that goes faster than your brain]]. Are you trying to say [[CPU Blue Heart|you're some kind of computer or something]]? But this is, you're getting completely off the point. So tell me why, exactly, you aren't naïve? Why is this crossing the line so much?

'''Chris:''' Because it's insulting my intelligence.

'''Matthew:''' What line did I cross exactly?

'''Chris:''' And I do not appreciate that. You made me feel... [[Chris and anger|anger]].

'''Matthew:''' Because you haven't proven your intelligence to me.

'''Chris:''' Well, just like a computer, my brain is random. It picks up memories at random. I cannot simply access them sometimes, even though most of the time I can. But sometimes I can't, and they later come back to me at random.

'''Matthew:''' Okay... here's how intelligent you really are, and that's because being naïve has absolutely nothing to do with intelligence.

'''Chris:''' Look it up in the dictionary.

'''Matthew:''' I have looked it up in the dictionary. It has nothing to do with intelli--what are you talking about? What dictionary are ''you'' looking in?

'''Chris:''' Webster's.

'''Matthew:''' Webster's. You know, I'm sure, if you think naïve has to do with... I'm sure your "[[autism]]" is just some sort of blanket term for "retarded" for you. Isn't it?

'''Chris:''' I'll admit I have had some slow-minded moments. But I am certainly not ''totally'' retarded.

'''Matthew:''' No. I'm looking at my dictionary, you know what "naïve" means? It means "inexperienced." Not "unintelligent." I shouldn't be calling you naïve, I should just be calling you a dumbass. But you are naïve as well.

===Experience and Respect (1:52:36-1:57:38)===
'''Chris:''' I've got a lot more experience than you could imagine.

'''Matthew:''' [''chuckles'']

'''Chris:''' I have had twenty-seven years of experience.

'''Matthew:''' With what? Eating [[McDonald's]] and watching [[TV]]? Son, [[Liquid Chris|Chris]] is younger than you, and he has had far more experiences than you have. And I've had fifty-two years of experience.

'''Chris:''' Yeah, well, how about being pinned down by three teachers, a guidance counselor, and an elementary school... prinstapull... and having your screams and cries recorded on audiotape like a torture chamber?

'''Matthew:''' The hell are you talking about?

'''Chris:''' And have, I was pretty much in that situation there in, back in the fourth grade. They were scared of, scared of...

'''Matthew:''' What did you do, some kind of temper tantrum?

'''Chris:''' No, they were scared of me. They did not understand autism.

'''Matthew:''' So, what, you just had some kind of retard panic attack and they didn't know what to do?

'''Chris:''' I...it was not a retard! No...it was not! They just hated me because they don't, they did not understand people with autism. And so they tortured me as such. I even ended up with a rash on my neck from that thing, among other things! And we had to fight the school system, they wanted to put me in a [[Nathanael_Greene_Elementary_School#The_.22institution.22|mental institution]]! But that was not...

'''Matthew:''' Because you NEED HELP. [[Western State Hospital|That's probably where you belong!]] And you call the other, you call Chris crazy... This is ridiculous.

'''Chris:''' I do not belong in a mental... If I had gone to a mental institution, I would not have graduated high school or gotten my certificate and degree in [[CADD|Computer-Aided Drafting and Design]]. I've moved up from what you would consider a retarded state of mind.

'''Matthew:''' I know retards with college degrees. They probably felt sorry for you. They probably just kinda let you through, that's probably what happened.

'''Chris:''' [''angry stress sigh, or perhaps spluttering with rage'']

'''Matthew:''' You know schools do that. And those other, I call them retards, but really, they're pretty good people. They actually did something with their degrees, believe it or not. People with Down's syndrome have done more than you. And that degree has done nothing for you.

'''Chris:''' It has done a lot, it has done a lot for me. It's given me the whole bunch of computer experience and potential that I have. And I will get an office job, and I will move out of this house, and I will run five miles!

'''Matthew:''' But you haven't done any of that. If you're gonna say it, then do it.

'''Chris:''' I would not be saying it if I was not going to do it. That is a promise.

'''Matthew:''' You better do it before Kacey runs back to a real man.

'''Chris:''' Okay then.

'''Matthew:''' Because I'm thinking that's going to happen pretty soon here. 27 years and you haven't changed.

'''Chris:''' Well, she did, she and I did not meet twenty-seven years ago, she and I met a few months ago.

'''Matthew:''' And you… and you haven't, she wasn't alive twenty-seven years ago. That doesn't even make any sense.

'''Chris:''' Well, what you said there a moment ago equally did not make much sense either. That was like you were implying, like as if she actually knew me my whole twenty-seven years.

'''Matthew:''' This is insulting to ''my'' intelligence, talking to you. You've shown me nothing but disrespect.

'''Chris:''' I have, I have...

'''Matthew:''' I'm sure you show Kacey hardly any more respect than you show me. I've been trying to open your eyes here.

'''Chris:''' I have shown you respect from the lot, for a while during the conversation.

'''Matthew:''' This is the kind of respect you show me, I would hate to see the kind of respect you show Kacey.

'''Chris:''' I show Kacey a lot of respect.

'''Matthew:''' You probably don't even respect her as a person...

'''Chris:''' I do res... I do respect her as a person!

===Chris is Creepy and Bad at Dating (1:57:38-2:08:38)===
'''Matthew:''' You know, her sister said you kept trying to touch her when you met her.

'''Chris:''' Because I was nervous at the time!

'''Matthew:''' You were ''NERVOUS?!'' What the hell kind of response is ''that?!'' You're nervous, so you try to touch a per--you try to touch a girl? What the ''hell?!'' That's...that's...that's just '''sick!''' I mean, that's my ''daughter'', you're trying to touch a girl, you're trying to touch my daughter because you're nervous? I mean, most people try to avoid touching people when they're nervous. Gah, I can't believe I just heard that, I '''should''' come and [[Kick the Autistic|kick your ass right now]]!

'''Chris:''' I only touched her shoulder! And I thought it was a friend gesture!

'''Matthew:''' Her shoulder? That's...you know, that didn't...y'know, I heard otherwise, I'm sorry.

'''Chris:''' Well, I'm sorry too.

'''Matthew:''' Did you try to kiss her?

'''Chris:''' No!

'''Matthew:''' Bullshit. I mean, she told her sister about what-what, what you did. I mean, I know. Are you telling me that Kacey lied?

'''Chris:''' I am not saying that. I am not saying that.

'''Matthew:''' You trying to tell me that, uh... and I heard you did all kinds of other weird shit, like, you tried to sniff her or something?

'''Chris:''' She was sharing her perfumes with me.

'''Matthew:''' That's... [''stifled laugh''] I don't think so.

'''Chris:''' She wanted my, she wanted my opinion on which perfume smelled better.

'''Matthew:''' You know, she gave it to you, she said she gave it to you in the bottle first. You could have just opened the bottle and sniffed, you didn't have to sniff ''her'' to do it. I mean, that's...that's a little creepy.

'''Chris:''' Yeah, well, she wanted the perfume, she wanted me to give an honest opinion about... on her.

'''Matthew:''' You did it...you did it in front of her and her ''friend.'' I mean, have you ever done this before? Is this something you do when you meet girls?

'''Chris:''' I'm sorry, could you, could you, ah, repeat that?

'''Matthew:''' Have you... have you ever done this before, to another girl?

'''Chris:''' Mm... Yeah, well, we've been talking about the sniffing thing. I just want to make sure I understand what we're talking about here.

'''Matthew:''' Yes. Anything, any of this creepy...shit. This touching, this kissing, that you-that, that I've been told you try to do.

'''Chris:''' Well... first off I can definitely, honestly say that I have not kissed a girl yet...

'''Matthew:''' TRIED.

'''Chris:''' [[Emily#Kiss fail|Or even tried to]].

'''Matthew:''' ''Really?'' [''scoffs'']

'''Chris:''' Truly.

'''Matthew:''' Yeah, I don't--I don't believe, I mean, I don't believe a word of that. [''stutters a bit''] How many dates have you even been on?

'''Chris:''' In my lifetime? [[Two's company snapshots|Only one]].

'''Matthew:''' Only one.

'''Chris:''' And this was a few months ago. Before I met Kacey.

'''Matthew:''' Before you met Kacey.

'''Chris:''' Yes.

'''Matthew:''' And how did that--and how did that turn out? And how did she act to--how did she act toward you? What'd she think of you?

'''Chris:''' It turned out that girl just was not all that into me.

'''Matthew:''' I mean, Kacey met you around...around August, that was a couple of months ago. So how far along was this?

'''Chris:''' That one date was back in, was last June.

'''Matthew:''' [''stutters a bit again''] And now why exactly do you think she wasn't interested in you?

'''Chris:''' I don't know! I am not a mind-reader.

'''Matthew:''' ...but-s-so you can't think of a single reason why she might not have been interested in you?

'''Chris:''' .....yeah.

'''Matthew:''' Okay.

'''Chris:''' I can honestly say that I cannot.

'''Matthew:''' I mean, you can't think of, maybe...I can think of a couple reasons right off the bat, why a girl would not have been into you. [''Chris scoffs''] I mean, I didn't even need to think about it. [''pause''] I mean, uh...I mean, you can't even take them on a real date.

'''Chris:''' I took her on a real date. Took her to [[Wikipedia:Applebee's|Applebee's]], and I paid for her, for what she ate and what she drank there.

'''Matthew:''' You paid for her. [''scoffs''] And how much--and how much was that?

'''Chris:''' That was about $10.

'''Matthew:''' $10.

'''Chris:''' Yes.

'''Matthew:''' That's...$10 for dinner? Are you sure you just didn't go to McDonald's again?

'''Chris:''' [''indignant''] No, this was APPLEBEE'S. And Kim was there, she could tell you the same, she could tell you the same thing.

'''Matthew:''' So--so where would you take Kacey? You know, she's a pretty high-class girl. And I'm sure you probably didn't even tip.

'''Chris:''' I'm sorry, I did not understand the second half of that sentence, after you said "Kacey is a high-class girl."

'''Matthew:''' I, you know, I y'know, you probably didn't--I said you probably didn't even tip. And, so where exactly are you going to take Kacey?

'''Chris:''' Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, I did tip.

'''Matthew:''' You even know how much you're supposed to tip?

'''Chris:''' About 15 or 20%.

'''Matthew:''' So, how much did you tip, then? If you paid $10?

'''Chris:''' I tipped a buck fifty.

'''Matthew:''' Really.

'''Chris:''' Yes.

'''Matthew:''' That's still pretty cheap. I, you know, Kacey probably wouldn't like that if you tipped her that much. I mean, you know she's a waitress, right? Tips are pretty important to...to waitresses.

'''Chris:''' Yep, I understand that, tips are important. But still, 15% of 10 is a dollar fifty.

'''Matthew:''' Eee...that's true. Okay, so how much would you tip if you paid, say, $80 for dinner? Which is very possible, if you go to the kind of places Kacey likes to go.

'''Chris:''' Hm...let's see, hm...that would be about $12.

'''Matthew:''' You, so you would just pay $12, you wouldn't go up to, like, y'know, you wouldn't even just toss them a twenty or something? Can you even ''do'' math?

'''Chris:''' Well, I cannot say that my family is of the ''high-class, hoity-toity, rich type'', type of people. We are on average income.

'''Matthew:''' You could at least...they're not rich either, and they still left a twenty.

'''Chris:''' Well, good for them.

'''Matthew:''' You're not even on an income. I mean, income would be, like, y'know, you actually have a job. Man, Chris treats her so much better than you, shows her so much more respect.

'''Chris:''' Yeah, well, I give you respect throughout the beginning of the conversation.

'''Matthew:''' You've given me nothing!

'''Chris:''' And then, and then, I started to feel insulted, from...being, from being talked down about, some, about some, about the honest...details I've talked about. And that she told you, like about the McDonald's and the video games and that sort of thing, when I am so much better than that.

'''Matthew:''' And I have not seen any of this, because...it probably doesn't exist.

'''Chris:''' It does exist.

'''Matthew:''' I mean, telling the truth isn't...it's not made of, uh, y'know, Pokeymans and all that.

'''Chris:''' It is not.

'''Matthew:''' I mean, and how are you better than all this? [''stutters in disbelief''] You're doing exactly, you know, you're doing just that, talking about stupid fucking Pokeymans and shit. That's all I'm really getting about you is...you do nothing but what exactly what you have said.

'''Chris:''' Okay, well, what can you...

'''Matthew:''' And you need to be better. Not say you could be better.

'''Chris:''' At least I am HONEST when I say I could be better. At least I don't go around lying, pretending that I am an astronaut.

'''Matthew:''' [''laughs in disbelief''] You're not! You're not being honest.

'''Chris:''' No, I have been honest. Otherwise I would have said that I was an astronaut, but that would be lying. And I have not been lying this conversation.

'''Matthew:''' Would have been a pretty bad lie, too.

'''Chris:''' I know, but that's just an example off the top of my head at the moment.

'''Matthew:''' You don't even have the eyes to be an astronaut, I mean, c'mon. You don't have the weight. You especially don't have the weight.

===What Are You Gonna Do Now? (2:08:38-2:18:03)===
'''Chris:''' [''Long silence''] Well... I'll just say that, uh, this has been, uh, a most experiencing conversation, and, uh, I wish you a pleasant evening. Take care, Mr. Devoria, and stay safe. And... please give my most fondest regards to Kacey as well. I love her and I care about her very much.

'''Matthew:''' Don't you hang up on me! When did I say that this conversation was over?

'''Chris:''' Well. You continue the insults, and I'm getting tired of insults. I feel like I need to go--I feel like I need to go take a shower, and get ready to sleep, I mean, we are in the same time zone, it's ten after two right now.

'''Matthew:''' Well, actually, that's fine, you know, you can...you can go, you can whine and, you know, weasel your way out of this. You don't even deserve my daughter. I mean...what are you gonna do after this, y'know, what are you going to do tomorrow? You're going to get up, sleep, you're going to get up and play video games again. That's...that's--

'''Chris:''' I am not, I will not be that way, I am going to get up...and I'm going to be...finding a job in the office. And I am going to be jogging for fifteen to thirty minutes.

'''Matthew:''' I don't believe in--you know what Kacey's gonna do? She's gonna go to school, and she's gonna call Chris back. That's what she's gonna do.

'''Chris:''' [''Snide and superior''] Well, that's what you think she's gonna do. You do not control her.

'''Matthew:''' And you know why she's gonna do that? It's because she, because he's the one she wants. You know that song that she made for Chris? She made it for him. Not you. You know that song, that [[My Half of A Whole New World for Kacey|"Whole New World,"]] from that Disney movie? She made that for him.

'''Chris:''' No, she told me she made that for me.

'''Matthew:''' Oh, no she didn't.

'''Chris:''' Oh yes she did!

'''Matthew:''' I think I know my daughter a little better than you do.

'''Chris:''' Well, I'll have to check with her on that.

'''Matthew:''' He even sang it for her! I mean, what really made you think it was for you?

'''Chris:''' Because she told me so herself!

'''Matthew:''' She told ME that she made it for him. Unless you're saying she's lying.

'''Chris:''' I'm not, I am not saying she's lying, because...

'''Matthew:''' And I saw that video. You didn't even know the lyrics to that song. You had to look it up. I could see the paper in your hand. And you had to sing over the words, you didn't even get the karaoke version or something. How could you possibly have known the lyrics?

'''Chris:''' I have watched the [[Wikipedia:Aladdin (film)|''Aladdin'']] movie a whole number of times. I would say greater than ten times. In my lifetime. At this point.

'''Matthew:''' And you know how I know that was made for him, and not you? Because that song was their song. They know it by HEART. And that has always been their song.

'''Chris:''' Okay.

'''Matthew:''' You know they were going to sing it to each other at their wedding?

'''Chris:''' [''More silence''] I see.

'''Matthew:''' Well, this, this is really... this has really been enlightening. Learning about just how unworthy a person can be for my daughter. How much of a... I have to congratulate you, though, because you totally did a great job at getting Kacey and Chris back together. [''pause'']

'''Kacey:''' [''bursting in''] Seriously, Chris, how could you?!

'''Matthew:''' I can't believe...! [''cracks the fuck up'']

'''Kacey:''' You've been so insulting to my father, and everything...di, uh...Chris would never have done this! Maybe I did make a wrong decision! [''stutters''] I don't think I can do this.

'''Chris:''' [''heavy sigh'']

'''Kacey:''' Maybe I was thinking of him all along, maybe I just displaced things. Just, I can't believe you would do this. You--yo--I was crying, and all you did was argue with my father. You didn't even care enough to check on me, or see if you could talk to me, Chris would never have done that. Chris would have demanded to talk to me right away and he would have calmed me down. [''pause''] And I mean, obviously you misunderstood me.

'''Chris:''' I guess...maybe I...did.

'''Kacey:''' You know what? I don't want you. I don't want this, I don't need this right now. I have so much going on with finals and everything, and this is the way you're going to act? Yeah. My father's right. You're going to have to do something HUGE. I mean, you can't even work on the comic you promised me, you made me a stupid ''[[LittleBigPlanet]]'' thing. Where the hell's the comic, Chris? You know what? You probably still won't make it. So, you know what? I-I can't do this. You need to totally reform your life. [''pause''] I mean, Chris would have come by. He would have driven the 2 hours just to comfort me once he heard I was crying.

'''Chris:''' Yeah, well, if I knew where you were I would have driven 2 hours as well. But I did not know...

'''Kacey:''' You know you won't! You always want me to come to you. It's stupid.

'''Chris:''' Yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean... yeah, I would have asked, I mean, I did ask you for your address, but then... and I did ask you for your phone number.

'''Kacey:''' And I told you that you can't get it until you get my parents to trust you because you know they're overprotective! And you think this is the way you do it?! I bet you're not even gonna finish the comic! You can't even finish it tonight. Or anything. You can't do anything.

'''Chris:''' I can so.

'''Kacey:''' Well, obviously you're not motivated enough, because you haven't done anything like that. Like, you've promised me a song a long time ago, never got it. Chris has written me, like, 3 songs. You promised me tons of things, you never keep your promises. You just sit around playing video games, you made a stupid ''LittleBigPlanet'' thing for me. I mean, come on. All I wanted was the damn comic, all I wanted was you just to pay attention. You don't even pick up the phone anymore because of the trolls, because of the stress! I can't do this. I want a real man. [''long pause''] And thi--you can't even say anything. Dad, I think you're totally right.

'''Matthew:''' Yeah. Don't tell him where we live, I don't want my name and number, I don't want him to know my name and number.

'''Kacey:''' See?! Look what you done, Chris. Look what you've done! [''pause'']

'''Chris:''' I'm sorry.

'''Kacey:''' It's not like you're gonna do anything to make up for it. So you know what? I don't even care. Dad, you can do whatever, that's--thi--that's all he can say, I'm done.

'''Matthew:''' I don't know, I don't think I want to get in trouble...

'''Kacey:''' He's not, Chris, screw this.

'''Matthew:''' I don't want to get in trouble for beating the shit out of this faggot anyway. [''repeats 3x in a whisper'']

'''Kacey:''' [''long pause''] I'm gonna go, this is too much for me. You can finish this off, Dad.

'''Chris:''' I'm sorry. [''typing and long pause''] I would like to say... good evening.

'''Matthew:''' [''long pause''] Ssssso... what are you gonna do now?

[''Tape runs out'']

[[Christian Weston Chandler|Chris]] has at least one '''Cherokee ancestor''', about whom he absolutely knows nothing.<ref>[[War Paint Video]]</ref> When Chris was making the early issues of the [[Sonichu (comic)|''Sonichu'' comic]], he decided to establish a backstory for why he had the power to transform into a [[Chris-Chan Sonichu|super powered fursona]]. He hit the [[wigwam]], and eventually came up with an "[[Anchuent Prophecy|ancient Native American prophecy]]" as his explanation. This gave him the opportunity to talk about his alleged cultural background in the comic. Being that he knew nothing about real Cherokee (and even less about his ancestor specifically) he instead decided to just make up his own version of the Cherokee and his ancestor, and assumed it was true to life.

This lead to the creation of the bizarre "[[Cherokian Clan]]" featured in the ''Sonichu'' comic. Since Chris was making up the whole thing, he also declared his <s>fictional</s> ancestor to be the [[Chris and his ego|leader of the entire Cherokee Nation]].

Chris's Cherokee ancestor was introduced in ''[[Sonichu 2|Sonichu #2]]'', which was completed on 3 May 2005. The ancestor was long assumed to be nonexistent, but on 16 January 2025 - 19 years and 8 months later - the ancestor was discovered to be real by CWCki editor [[User:Cilria2|Cilria2]]. '''Polly "Cherokee Mother" Cherokee''' (abt 1703 to 1790) is Chris's 7th great-grandmother.

== Character ==
It is explained that the Cherokee and [[Wasabi Clan|Wasabi]] clans were at war in the ancient past over both the [[Cherokian Crown]] and the [[Queen of the Cherokian Clan]], the Ancestor's wife. However, the two clans would later ally to fight off [[Count Graduon]], a new evil who first came to power around that time. They sealed him away, but their power of prophecy told them that he would come back one day. They then set up safeguards, such as the transformation powers, so that the three of them (the Leader, the Queen and the [[Wasabi Rival]]) could eventually destroy him in present day [[CWCville]]. Hundreds of years later, the king of the Cherokee Clan would be reincarnated as [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|Christian Weston Chandler]]. His present day self would go on to fulfill the prophecy with his queen and rival, guided by an avatar of his ancient alter ego.

The character is never given a name, and so Chris only ever refers to him as "Ancestor."

== Role in the comics ==
=== [[Sonichu 2#Episode 7: Sonichu in "Anchuent Prophecy"|Sonichu in "Anchuent Prophecy"]] ===
The Ancient leader appeared only very briefly in Episode 7 of ''Sonichu #2''. His only purpose here is to explain to Chris that he is his reincarnation, tell him the evil [[Count Graduon]] is coming back, and ask if he's a bad enough dude to stop him. Chris gets his powers then and there and pisses off to go train with Sonichu.

=== [[Sonichu 4#Sub-Episode 5: Christian Chandler in "McAttack Part 2"|Christian Chandler in "McAttack Part 2"]] ===
The Ancestor appears once again in ''Sonichu #4'', acting as the resident Deus Ex Machina in Sub-Episode 5 of that issue. He randomly pops into Chris's head as he's getting the shit kicked out of him by [[W-M-Manajerk]], and tells Chris that he can use the [[Heart Torch of Fail]] to bring his imaginary twin sister, [[Crystal Weston Chandler (sister)|Crystal Weston Chandler]] into being. Chris does so, and the ancestor dissappears again.

=== [[Sonichu 4#Sub-Episode 8: Christian Chandler in "Off-Target Part 2"|Christian Chandler in "Off-Target Part 2"]] ===
The Ancestor appears one last time in the series after that, in the final Sub-Episode of ''Sonichu #4''. When Chris is about to fight [[Mary Lee Walsh]] at the [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens]], the Ancestor appears in his head to encourage him, telling him to focus and remember all the friends he made during his [[Love Quest]], as if he were a supporting character from a [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|children's anime]] or [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Saturday morning cartoon]].

This tactic fails not due to the realization that Chris's Love Quest has accomplished nothing, but rather because Chris was actually so [[stressed|badly beaten]] by that point that [[Honest|he couldn't even remember a single friend]] he'd made on the Love Quest so far. No, not even his [[Myspace]] friends. The Ancestor then suggests that he call upon the ancestral spirits for a morality boost, and surprisingly, this DOES work. Apparently ancient Native American spirits are interchangeable with [[Care Bears]]. Chris then transforms, beats up an old woman, and the Ancestor disappears into the aether once more, never to be mentioned again.

Given his frequent appearances in Sub-Episodes, it is reasonable to assume that the Ancestor was once meant to be a recurring character, but for one reason or another (perhaps under pressure from his mother), Chris abandoned the concept after he abandoned Sub-Episodes.

==Appearance==
According to the [[Anchuent Prophecy]], Christian is in fact the reincarnation of this figure, which apparently explains the many dreams and visions in which the ancestor reveals new anchuent powers for Christian to use to fight [[Jerkops|mall security]]. As Chris [[Chris and race|didn't care enough]] to research the culture he is allegedly descended from, the ancestor looks absolutely nothing like a genuine Cherokee, being a white child-like man. Judging by the size of his head, he appears to be encephalitic.

Befitting his status as a Native American chieftain, he is always depicted wearing a gold and purple, vaguely Greco-Roman-looking breastplate (with [[Homos|sculpted abs]]) and the coveted [[Cherokian crown]], items of metallurgy that the Cherokee did not possess. All this supports the theory that Chris just knows jack shit about actual Cherokees and their culture.

== Chris and reincarnation ==
Although Chris is said to be the reincarnation of the Ancient leader,<ref>http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Issue_2/Page_5</ref> and several references are made to "previous lives,"<ref>http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Issue_2/Page_11</ref> several factors seem to contradict the idea. For one thing, none of the supposed reincarnations of the ancient Native Americans seem to have any memory of their previous lives after the prophecy is fulfilled, and none of them really seem to see their ancient alter egos as iterations of themselves. Sarah refers to the Ancient leader when told about him by the Queen of the Cherokian Clan as "your husband,"<ref>http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Issue_2/Page_13</ref> even though he should technically be her husband too if she were a reincarnation. Also note that Chris and friends seem to hold actual conversations with the ancient Native Americans, even though they were supposed to be long dead.

tl;dr: Chris probably doesn't know what "reincarnation" means.

== Actual Cherokee ancestor ==
''' Polly Bowman "Cherokee Mother" Cherokee''' (abt 1703 to 1790) was the 7th great-grandmother of Chris and Chris's actual Native American Ancestor. She was the wife of Joshua Odum (1700 to 1745) and had one daughter Melissa Talivia Odum. They married in 1719 ([[Pedofork|when she was 16]]) in {{w|Orangeburg, South Carolina}}. She was born in the Cherokee territory of South Carolina.<ref>https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/GNGQ-97J - imgur screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/bRIRaIb.png</ref>

The line of descent is as follows:

Polly Cherokee (1703 to 1790) - > Melissa Talivia Odum (1720 to unknown) - > Mary Brigman (1755 to 1822) - > Druscilla Dearman (1778 to 1870) - > Curtis Teer (1807 to 1886) - > [[Chandler Family Tree#William Teer|William Teer]] (1837 to 1919) - > Mary Frances Teer (1873 to 1914) - > Jean Hollomon (1906 to 1945) - > [[Robert Franklin Chandler]] Jr (1927 to 2011) - > [[Christian Weston Chandler]] (1982 - present)

This means that Chris is 1/512 Cherokee, or 0.2%. This aligns with the 0.2% Siberian DNA that registered in a [[CWC Ancestry|23andMe]] test (Siberian peoples and Native Americans are closely related genetically).<ref>[[:File:2023ChrisDNATest.png]]</ref> Chris could register as a Cherokee as a documented descendant of a Cherokee – there is no blood quantum requirement.<ref>https://www.doi.gov/tribes/cherokee</ref> However, other online sources dispute the Odom-Cherokee connection, saying "There are no records of any Cherokee women by name until late in the 18th century. [[Love Quest|Interracial marriage was illegal]], so if you have found a marriage record for the couple, the wife was not Native American. The white traders who married Cherokee women lived in the Cherokee Nation with their wives, not in white communities. Joshua Odum and Polly Bowman were married in Burke, N.C. In 1821, not 1741."<ref>https://wikitree.com/g2g/1576188/unsure-legitimacy-native-american-heritage-claims-carolina</ref>

South Carolina banned interracial marriage in 1717,<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-miscegenation_laws_in_the_United_States#Anti-miscegenation_laws_overturned_on_June_12,_1967,_by_Loving_v._Virginia</ref> 2 years before Polly is stated to have married Joshua by familysearch.

Polly Cherokee (1703 to 1790) - > Melissa Talivia Odum (1720 to unknown) - > Mary Brigman (1755 to 1822) - > Druscilla Dearman (1778 to 1870) - > Curtis Teer (1807 to 1886) - > [[Chandler Family Tree#William Teer|William Teer]] (1837 to 1919) - > Mary Frances Teer (1873 to 1914) - > Jean Hollomon (1906 to 1945) - > [[Robert Franklin Chandler]] Jr (1927 to 2011) - > [[Christian Weston Chandler]] (1982 - present)

This means that Chris is 1/512 Cherokee, or 0.2%. This aligns with the 0.2% Siberian DNA that registered in a [[CWC Ancestry|23andMe]] test (Siberian peoples and Native Americans are closely related genetically).<ref>[[:File:2023ChrisDNATest.png]]</ref> Chris could register as a Cherokee as a documented descendant of a Cherokee – there is no blood quantum requirement.<ref>https://www.doi.gov/tribes/cherokee</ref> However, other online sources dispute the Odom-Cherokee connection, saying "There are no records of any Cherokee women by name until late in the 18th century. [[Love Quest|Interracial marriage was illegal]], so if you have found a marriage record for the couple, the wife was not Native American. The white traders who married Cherokee women lived in the Cherokee Nation with their wives, not in white communities. Joshua Odum and Polly Bowman were married in Burke, N.C. In 1821, not 1741."<ref>https://wikitree.com/g2g/1576188/unsure-legitimacy-native-american-heritage-claims-carolina</ref>

[[Christian Weston Chandler|Chris]] has at least one '''Cherokee ancestor''', about whom he absolutely knows nothing.<ref>[[War Paint Video]]</ref> When Chris was making the early issues of the [[Sonichu (comic)|''Sonichu'' comic]], he decided to establish a backstory for why he had the power to transform into a [[Chris-Chan Sonichu|super powered fursona]]. He hit the [[wigwam]], and eventually came up with an "[[Anchuent Prophecy|ancient Native American prophecy]]" as his explanation. This gave him the opportunity to talk about his alleged cultural background in the comic. Being that he knew nothing about real Cherokee (and even less about his ancestor specifically) he instead decided to just make up his own version of the Cherokee and his ancestor, and assumed it was true to life.

This lead to the creation of the bizarre "[[Cherokian Clan]]" featured in the ''Sonichu'' comic. Since Chris was making up the whole thing, he also declared his <s>fictional</s> ancestor to be the [[Chris and his ego|leader of the entire Cherokee Nation]].

Chris's Cherokee ancestor was introduced in ''[[Sonichu 2|Sonichu #2]]'', which was completed on 3 May 2005. The ancestor was long assumed to be nonexistent, but on 16 January 2025 - 19 years and 8 months later - the ancestor was discovered to be real by CWCki editor [[User:Cilria2|Cilria2]]. '''Polly "Cherokee Mother" Cherokee''' (abt 1703 to 1790) is Chris's 7th great-grandmother.

== Character ==
It is explained that the Cherokee and [[Wasabi Clan|Wasabi]] clans were at war in the ancient past over both the [[Cherokian Crown]] and the [[Queen of the Cherokian Clan]], the Ancestor's wife. However, the two clans would later ally to fight off [[Count Graduon]], a new evil who first came to power around that time. They sealed him away, but their power of prophecy told them that he would come back one day. They then set up safeguards, such as the transformation powers, so that the three of them (the Leader, the Queen and the [[Wasabi Rival]]) could eventually destroy him in present day [[CWCville]]. Hundreds of years later, the king of the Cherokee Clan would be reincarnated as [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|Christian Weston Chandler]]. His present day self would go on to fulfill the prophecy with his queen and rival, guided by an avatar of his ancient alter ego.

The character is never given a name, and so Chris only ever refers to him as "Ancestor."

== Role in the comics ==
=== [[Sonichu 2#Episode 7: Sonichu in "Anchuent Prophecy"|Sonichu in "Anchuent Prophecy"]] ===
The Ancient leader appeared only very briefly in Episode 7 of ''Sonichu #2''. His only purpose here is to explain to Chris that he is his reincarnation, tell him the evil [[Count Graduon]] is coming back, and ask if he's a bad enough dude to stop him. Chris gets his powers then and there and pisses off to go train with Sonichu.

=== [[Sonichu 4#Sub-Episode 5: Christian Chandler in "McAttack Part 2"|Christian Chandler in "McAttack Part 2"]] ===
The Ancestor appears once again in ''Sonichu #4'', acting as the resident Deus Ex Machina in Sub-Episode 5 of that issue. He randomly pops into Chris's head as he's getting the shit kicked out of him by [[W-M-Manajerk]], and tells Chris that he can use the [[Heart Torch of Fail]] to bring his imaginary twin sister, [[Crystal Weston Chandler (sister)|Crystal Weston Chandler]] into being. Chris does so, and the ancestor dissappears again.

=== [[Sonichu 4#Sub-Episode 8: Christian Chandler in "Off-Target Part 2"|Christian Chandler in "Off-Target Part 2"]] ===
The Ancestor appears one last time in the series after that, in the final Sub-Episode of ''Sonichu #4''. When Chris is about to fight [[Mary Lee Walsh]] at the [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens]], the Ancestor appears in his head to encourage him, telling him to focus and remember all the friends he made during his [[Love Quest]], as if he were a supporting character from a [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|children's anime]] or [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Saturday morning cartoon]].

This tactic fails not due to the realization that Chris's Love Quest has accomplished nothing, but rather because Chris was actually so [[stressed|badly beaten]] by that point that [[Honest|he couldn't even remember a single friend]] he'd made on the Love Quest so far. No, not even his [[Myspace]] friends. The Ancestor then suggests that he call upon the ancestral spirits for a morality boost, and surprisingly, this DOES work. Apparently ancient Native American spirits are interchangeable with [[Care Bears]]. Chris then transforms, beats up an old woman, and the Ancestor disappears into the aether once more, never to be mentioned again.

Given his frequent appearances in Sub-Episodes, it is reasonable to assume that the Ancestor was once meant to be a recurring character, but for one reason or another (perhaps under pressure from his mother), Chris abandoned the concept after he abandoned Sub-Episodes.

==Appearance==
According to the [[Anchuent Prophecy]], Christian is in fact the reincarnation of this figure, which apparently explains the many dreams and visions in which the ancestor reveals new anchuent powers for Christian to use to fight [[Jerkops|mall security]]. As Chris [[Chris and race|didn't care enough]] to research the culture he is allegedly descended from, the ancestor looks absolutely nothing like a genuine Cherokee, being a white child-like man. Judging by the size of his head, he appears to be encephalitic.

Befitting his status as a Native American chieftain, he is always depicted wearing a gold and purple, vaguely Greco-Roman-looking breastplate (with [[Homos|sculpted abs]]) and the coveted [[Cherokian crown]], items of metallurgy that the Cherokee did not possess. All this supports the theory that Chris just knows jack shit about actual Cherokees and their culture.

== Chris and reincarnation ==
Although Chris is said to be the reincarnation of the Ancient leader,<ref>http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Issue_2/Page_5</ref> and several references are made to "previous lives,"<ref>http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Issue_2/Page_11</ref> several factors seem to contradict the idea. For one thing, none of the supposed reincarnations of the ancient Native Americans seem to have any memory of their previous lives after the prophecy is fulfilled, and none of them really seem to see their ancient alter egos as iterations of themselves. Sarah refers to the Ancient leader when told about him by the Queen of the Cherokian Clan as "your husband,"<ref>http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Issue_2/Page_13</ref> even though he should technically be her husband too if she were a reincarnation. Also note that Chris and friends seem to hold actual conversations with the ancient Native Americans, even though they were supposed to be long dead.

tl;dr: Chris probably doesn't know what "reincarnation" means.

== Actual Cherokee ancestor ==
''' Polly Bowman "Cherokee Mother" Cherokee''' (abt 1703 to 1790) was the 7th great-grandmother of Chris and Chris's actual Native American Ancestor. She was the wife of Joshua Odum (1700 to 1745) and had one daughter Melissa Talivia Odum. They married in 1719 ([[Pedofork|when she was 16]]). She was born in the Cherokee territory of South Carolina.<ref>https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/GNGQ-97J</ref>

The line of descent is as follows:

Polly Cherokee (1703 to 1790) - > Melissa Talivia Odum (1720 to unknown) - > Mary Brigman (1755 to 1822) - > Druscilla Dearman (1778 to 1870) - > Curtis Teer (1807 to 1886) - > [[Chandler Family Tree#William Teer|William Teer]] (1837 to 1919) - > Mary Frances Teer (1873 to 1914) - > Jean Hollomon (1906 to 1945) - > [[Robert Franklin Chandler]] Jr (1927 to 2011) - > [[Christian Weston Chandler]] (1982 - present)

This means that Chris is 1/512 Cherokee, or 0.2%. This aligns with the 0.2% Siberian DNA that registered in a [[CWC Ancestry|23andMe]] test (Siberian peoples and Native Americans are closely related genetically).<ref>[[:File:2023ChrisDNATest.png]]</ref> Chris could register as a Cherokee as a documented descendant of a Cherokee – there is no blood quantum requirement.<ref>https://www.doi.gov/tribes/cherokee</ref>

The '''1930s''' comprised most of Bob's childhood, who was aged 2-12 at the time. The decade saw most of Chris' remaining great-grandparents succumb to the sands of time: At the start of the decade 7 remained, but after the death of Victoria Thompson (Barbara's maternal grandmother) in 1935, Martha Headley (Bob's paternal grandmother) in 1937, Sarah Hamilton (Barbara's paternal grandmother) in 1938, and Joseph Edward Weston (Barbara's paternal grandfather) in 1939, only 3 remained.

'''Joe Biden''' (born 20 November 1942) served as the 46th president of the United States; his vice president was [[Kamala Harris]]. He previously served as the vice president under president [[Barack Obama]] throughout his term from 2009 to 2017, and was later elected president in the 2020 election, unseating then-incumbent president [[Pmurt|Donald Trump]]. He became the 46th American president on 20 [[January 2021]] instead of [[The Simpsons|Lisa Simpson]], who [[Christian Weston Chandler|Chris]] voted for and believes will become POTUS after the [[Dimensional Merge]] occurs (although he's more than happy to be rid of Trump). Chris was once [[Naïve|hopeful]] that Biden would pardon him following [[Incest Arrest|his arrest for incest]].

While Biden was in the running for the [[November 2024]] election, he dropped out mid-run and endorsed Harris instead. Chris has expressed support for Harris's run.

== Before presidency ==
When asked what he thought about Biden in 2009, Chris said "Joe is doing what he can."<ref>[[Mailbag 17]]</ref>

In 2017, Chris posted "Yes! Go, Joe!" when commenting on a post about Biden's career.<ref>[[February 2017 Facebook Posts]]</ref>

== Presidency ==
[[File:Biden intro.png|thumb|left|The changed banner on the CWCki front page just after Biden's election win got confirmed. Joe Biden defeated Chris's preferred choice for POTUS, Lisa Simpson, by a landslide.]]
Joe Biden assumed the Presidency of the United States on 20 January 2021, at 12:00 {{abbr|ET|Eastern Time}}. Chris later acknowledged Biden’s presidency in reality ([[Dimension 1218]]),<ref>[[January 2021 social media posts#Congrats, Joe Biden]]</ref> while also reaffirming Simpson's presidency in his reality ([[C-197]]).

Since Biden left the White House with President [[Barack Obama]] in 2017, Chris’s grasp on [[reality]] has weakened to a point where his [[CWCville|make-believe city]] in northern Virginia has expanded to include entire [[dimensions]], and his belief that [[Electric Hedgehog Pokémon|his characters]] [[imaginary friends|actually exist]] has ballooned into something called the [[Dimensional Merge]]. Chris even believes that [[The Simpsons|Lisa Simpson]] will succeed Biden as president after the Merge, going as far as to claim that he actually intended to vote for her.<ref>[[Chris and politics#2020]]</ref><ref>[[November 2020 social media posts##LisaSimpson2020|November 2020 social media posts, section #LisaSimpson2020]]</ref>

Although Chris welcomed the fact that Donald Trump did not get re-elected,<ref>[[November 2020 social media posts#Pmurt]]</ref> Chris’s continued efforts to avoid reality entirely means that unless Biden can bring fictional characters to life à la ''{{w|Who Framed Roger Rabbit}}'' (or at least give Chris [[Chris and his ego|''everything'' that he wants]]), Biden was more or less be an inoffensive extra in Chris's world, like what happened to [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] himself after [[Sonichu 1|Issue 1]].

In [[October 2021]], while waiting legal proceedings on his charge of [[incest]] on his [[mother]], Chris wrote to [[Kenneth Engelhardt]], begging him to "contact the local Virginia Governer(s) [sic] of [[Ruckersville]] and [[Charlottesville, VA]], as well as President Biden, and get [[Spirit possession|me, Christine's Body, as well as Christine herself obviously,]] a FULL PARDON to get me out of this [[Central Virginia Regional Jail|Jail]] and mess, Please."<ref>[[Jail Letter - 4 October 2021]]</ref>

'''Kamala Harris''' served as the 49th vice president of the [[United States of America|United States]], part of president [[Joe Biden]]'s administration. Following Biden's decision to suspend his [[2024]] presidential campaign, he endorsed Harris, passing the torch and giving her the momentum to become the Democratic nominee. Harris subsequently ran against [[Pmurt|Donald Trump]] for the presidency.

Unlike [[2020]], when Harris was part of the Biden-Harris ticket, Chris has expressed a greater support for her candidacy, creating multiple campaign signs for her. However, despite this critical political endorsement (or possibly because of it), the Harris-Walz campaign was defeated by Trump-Vance.

==Elections==
[[File:X - Kamala Harris 2024 sign2.jpeg|left|thumb|200px|Chris's art supporting Harris]]
===2020===
For the [[2020]] election, Harris ran a campaign for the presidency, but dropped out and endorsed Biden. Biden later returned the favor by selecting Harris as his candidate for vice president, with the Biden-Harris ticket being solidified at the Democratic National Convention.

Chris acknowledged the duo in [[October 2020]], hoping they would defeat then-incumbent president [[Pmurt|Donald Trump]].<ref>[[October 2020 social media posts#No to Drumpftastic]]</ref> However, he ultimately voted for fictional character Lisa Simpson for reasons tied to the [[Dimensional Merge]], a topic that had captivated his interest over politics, despite his vocal opposition to [[Pmurt|Donald Trump]] and Mike Pence. Biden and Harris would go on to win Virginia regardless of Chris's write-in vote, along with the election as a whole.

===2024===
In the [[2024]] election, Harris ran for the presidency starting in July, opposing Trump, as Biden had dropped out mid-run and endorsed her instead. Following this event, Chris seemed to take more interest in Harris. In [[August 2024]], Chris stated that he planned to vote for Harris that November, and he did a [[tarot]] reading on her.<ref name=augustsupport></ref>

The following month, he posted photos of a hand-drawn sign supporting Harris's run for president, displayed at the [[yard]] of his former residence [[14 Branchland Court]],<ref>[[September 2024 social media posts##KamalaHarris4President2024]]</ref> and he also recorded a livestream reacting to a debate between Harris and Trump.<ref>[[Jesus Christ Chan Reacting to Presidential Debate 2024]]</ref> Chris watched an interview of Harris and Oprah Winfrey which took place on 20 September, and tweeted in agreement with Harris's pro-abortion access stance.<ref>[[October 2024 social media posts#Shall vote for Harris]]</ref> On 2 November, Chris shared more yard artwork in support of Harris and said he would be voting for her that Tuesday, on the official Election Day.<ref>[[November 2024 social media posts#Still voting for Kamala Harris]]</ref> Two days later, he implied that his yard art had either been defaced or stolen.<ref>[[November 2024 social media posts#Crime reminder]]</ref>

'''Barack Hussein Obama''' (born [[Pre-1980#1960s|4 August 1961]]) served as the 44th President of the [[United States of America]]. He was preceded by [[George W. Bush]] and was succeeded by [[Donald Trump]] on 20 [[January 2017]]. His vice president was [[Joe Biden]].

He appears briefly in [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' #8]] in episode 17, painting the White House black. There was a popular joke where he did so after winning the presidential office. Chris obviously took this joke way too seriously, even [[Christian Weston Chandler Interview|believing it]] as an actual rumor about Obama.

Chris, while initially disliking Obama, felt he and Obama were much a lot alike, in that they were both discriminated against, essentially equating [[Kick the Autistic]] with actual racial discrimination. Chris admitted that after watching the [[Wikipedia:A&E Network|A&E]] documentary on Obama and [[Wikipedia:John McCain|John McCain]], he decided to vote for Obama because he felt he had more in common with him. In other words, Chris had no interest in or understanding of any of the campaign issues or the candidates' opinions on them.

Chris did a prearranged interview in the video [[Rollin' and Trollin']] where he spoke about how he liked Obama and made no mention of painting the White House black.

On New Year's Eve 2009, Chris claimed to have "snail-mailed" Barack Obama asking to make [[homos|homo]] ads on the [[CWCipedia]] [[Chris and the Law|illegal]], [[Chris and the Law|with involvement from the FBI and jail sentences]].<ref>[[ChrisChanSonichu and WikiSysop correspondence#THAT DOES NOT MATTER (CCS)]]</ref>

==White House gag==
[[Image:SchuComic9Page19-C.jpg|thumb|200px|Chris's brilliant political satire in action. See, it's funny, because Bush is known to poke his political rivals with a broom.]]

This page was removed from CWC's site along with the comic pages featuring pornography; the pornographic pages were restored in the Luv Shack, but the Obama page remained removed.

While still a U.S. Senator, Obama made a cameo appearance in [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' #8]], featured in one of the multitude of bizarre elevator gags seen as [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] and [[Rosechu]] ascend to the top of the [[4-cent_garbage.com]] building. Inexplicably, the entire White House is contained on the 51st floor, where Obama is painting the exterior black. Below, Senator [[Wikipedia:John McCain|John McCain]] (R-AZ), who ran against Obama in the 2008 Presidential race, chides Obama for presuming to redecorate the White House before actually securing the election. Senator [[Wikipedia:Hillary Clinton|Hillary Clinton]] (D-NY), who would later become Obama's Secretary of State, and [[Wikipedia:Sarah Palin|Sarah Palin]], McCain's running mate and then-Governor of Alaska, also look on with annoyance.

From inside the White House, then-President [[George W. Bush]] notices Obama's audacious paintjob, and takes matters into his own hands. Using a broom, he tips over Obama's ladder. The implied extent of Obama's injuries from the fall is left up to the imagination of the reader.

Obama is wearing a [[Wikipedia:kufi|kufi]], which is a traditional west African hat associated with Muslims. This is probably the result of Chris seeing photos of Obama wearing a kufi that have been released.

Mangolover887: /* Notable ancestors */

[[File:Chrisfamilytree.png|thumb|Chris' family tree up to his great-great-grandparents|600x600px]]
Chris's ideas about his ancestry and lineage unsurprisingly differ greatly from what is known to be true.

Family members who live(d) after Chris was born can be found at [[Minor Family Members]].

== Notable ancestors ==
This section lists Chris' ancestors in chronological order from most to least recent death. Ancestors who fought for the Confederate States of America are listed separately, in the "Dixiechus" section.

=== Robert Wynn ===
Barbara's maternal grandfather '''Robert Pettus Wynn''' (17 Nov 1882 - 20 Jan 1954) was allegedly a two-timing [[Alcohol|drunk]] and moonshiner who "failed to provide even the most basic support for his wife and children".<ref>http://www.harveypowers.com/genealogy/roots/individual.html#118</ref> In his death certificate, his profession is given as [[tobacco]] farmer.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/238604751/robert-pettis-wynn</ref>

=== John James Hollomon ===
[[File:John James Hollomon.jpg|thumb|right|150px|John James Hollomon in 1910]]
Bob's maternal grandfather '''John James Hollomon''' (3 May 1868 - 16 Mar 1950) <ref>[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/10638068/john-james-hollomon]</ref> was born in {{w|Meigs County, Tennessee}} but lived most of his later life in {{w|Wylie, Texas}}, a city and suburb in {{w|Collin County, Texas|Collin County}} and {{w|Dallas}} respectively. He was a well-known local pharmacist in the Collin county for over 50 years. He married twice in his life, first to Mary Francis Hollomon (née Teer 10th March 1872 - 3 Jul 1914), the daughter of a doctor specializing in osteopathic, whom he had 4 children including Jean Hollomon, Bob's mother. In 1915 he married Helen E. Hollomon (née Nelms 10 Apr 1893 - 29 Oct 1972) with whom he had 3 more children including Bob's half uncle Dr. John James "JJ" Hollomon Jr (1917-1992). Bob reminisces that Hollomon gave him a straight razor "by means of [Hollomon's] last will and testament," and Bob instead broke it while using it as a screwdriver, which he later held onto this regret for decades well into his 60s because he believed Hollomon wanted him to have it as a personal item and value.

Notable enough, his father was an Esquire John Richmond Hollomon (1831 - 1899), a lawyer and attorney in the Meigs County area.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/70362078/susanna-brady#:~:text=of%20her%20son%2C-,J.R.%20Hollomon%20Esq.,-of%20this%20county</ref> More notable enough, his grandfather Pleasant Hollomon (1803 - 1865), served in the {{w|Tennessee House of Representatives}} in the Meigs and {{w|Rhea County, Tennessee|Rhea}} counties from 1849 to 1851. A democrat, he was a constable of the 5th Civil district of Meigs county in 1836-1839, was a deputy sheriff of Meigs in early 1840s and a deputy and tax collector in 1845.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/70361465/pleasant-hollomon</ref>

===Rev. Sidney Smith Chandler===
'''The Reverend Sidney Smith Chandler''' (1805 - September 1866) was a Baptist minister and clergyman in Alabama, he is Chris's great-great-great grandfather along his paternal line. Born in Georgia, his father died in 1816 when he was 11. he moved to Alabama in 1829 and became a Primitive Baptist Clergyman and Minster in Autauga County. He also was a slaveowner owning one female slave in the 1850 slave census

He later married Mary Lucinda Walker and later fathered 12 children including Joseph and his brother Edmund, He died in September of 1866 just shortly after the end of the American Civil War. Two of his sons. James (1830-1862) and Edmund (1835-1865) would die fighting in the Civil War.

===Francis Weston===
'''Francis Weston Sr.''' (Feb 1793 - 19 March 1838) was an English-born immigrant to the United States and a frontiersmen. He is Barbara's great-great-grandfather along her paternal line, making him Chris's maternal great-great-great-grandfather.

Born in {{w|Derbyshire}}, he had immigrated to [[Ohio]] by 1820 and married at {{w|Wheeling, West Virginia}} a year later to Grace Moore, an English-born American, whose parents were also an immigrants from Derbyshire. They had six out of seven children survived, the second oldest being Mary Ann Weston in 1825 and the youngest Joseph Edward "John" Weston in July 1836,<ref>[https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-6Q23-PTF?i=2&cc=1401638&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AMXSB-9Q8 Joseph (listed as Edward Weston) with his three older siblings and mother Gracy in 1850 census)]</ref><ref>[https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-9BS6-DF?i=8&cc=1473181&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AMCPH-V55 Gracy Weston (Joseph's mother) in 1860 census with her son Francis]</ref> all in {{w|Augusta Township, Carroll County, Ohio|Augusta Township}}. Through Joseph, Francis's surname would be carried on to [[Barbara]], which, in turn, would serve as the basis for [[Chris|our hero]]'s middle name.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/118642485/francis-weston</ref>

According to newspapers, After immigrating to Augusta Township, Francis, a frontiersmen, built a homestead house of his and his family in a wilderness place with 2 other families surrounded by wild animals and forest. The homestead house was a shanty with puncheon floor and chimney made with sticks and clay. They mentioned about the one occasion Francis was chased by wolves in a forest when coming home from buying fresh meats. Francis would pass away at age 45 in March 1838, 2 years after his youngest son Joseph was born.

In a later pseudo-historical account of events by Barbara and Chris, Francis is replaced by a certain [[Daniel Weston]]. Unlike the historical Francis Weston, ''Daniel'' Weston travelled to North America in 1620 (a whole 2 centuries earlier than Francis), and has the honor of being of a descendant of [[Anne Boleyn]] (whose {{w|Elizabeth I|only daughter}} died childless).

Francis' son, Francis Weston Jr, according to newspapers, was a "popular" and successful businessman and general merchant, owning iron and furnace company, and many other successful companies at Ohio, West Virginia and Missouri with a college education to his name. Through his daughter Jane, Francis Sr is the grandfather of {{w|Pierce County, Washington}}'s Superior Court judge & attorney William Oscar Chapman, who at the time of admitting to {{w|Ohio State Bar Association|Ohio bar}}, was in the same group of applicants with a later president of the United States {{w|William Howard Taft}}.

=== Captain Joseph Looney ===
Joseph Lewellyn Looney (abt.1740-1816) fought in the {{w|American Revolutionary War}} on the Patriot side. He fought in the {{w|Battle of Guilford Court House}} under major general [[Nathanael Greene Elementary School|Nathanael Greene]].<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Looney-149</ref>

=== Polly Bowman ===
{{main|Ancient leader of the Cherokee Clan}}
Chris has at least one [[Cherokee]] ancestor, about whom he absolutely knows nothing. The ancestor was introduced in ''[[Sonichu 2|Sonichu #2]]'', which was completed on 3 May 2005. The ancestor was long assumed to be nonexistent, but on 16 January 2025 - 19 years and 8 months later - the ancestor was discovered to be real by CWCki editor [[User:Cilria2|Cilria2]]. '''Polly Bowman "Cherokee Mother" Cherokee''' (abt 1703 to 1790) is Chris's 7th great-grandmother.

=== John Chandler and Elizabeth Lupo ===
Although there is no evidence that his mother's ancestors were on board the ''Mayflower'', Chris's paternal ancestors were among the first settlers of his home state of Virginia. Chris's direct male ancestor '''John Chandler''' (c. 1600-1657), a native of London, was an early settler of {{w|Jamestown, Virginia|Jamestown}}, [[Virginia]], arriving in 1610 with a boat ''Hercules'', ten years before the ''Mayflower''.<ref>https://www.geni.com/people/John-Chandler-l/6000000008639070482</ref> John married the widow '''Elizabeth Lupo''' (née '''Bassano'''), a member of the illustrious {{w|Jeronimo Bassano|Bassano family}} of [[music|musicians]] who had been recruited from Venice by {{w|King Henry VIII}} to serve in his court (some have claimed that the Bassanos were of [[Jewish]] origin, but the jury is out). The Chandler family migrated southwest over the generations, passing through North Carolina and Georgia before settling in Alabama, Bob's home state.

John Chandler is the fifth great-grandfather of the Dixiechu Joseph Chandler, and the ninth great-grandfather of Chris.

===Richard Baker===
{{w|Richard Baker (chronicler)|Richard Baker}} (c. 1568 – 18 February 1645) was a politician, historian and religious writer. He was the English author of the ''Chronicle of the Kings of England'' and other works.

He is the 12th great-grandfather of Chris on Bob's mother side.

===Edward, Thomas Palmer & Thomas Overbury===
Thanks to John Chandler's grandson's wife Elizabeth Palmer, Chris's 7th great-grandmother, some Christorians did research about her ancestors. Chris has three known ancestors, two of which are Chris descendent of, and other is distantly related.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-2791</ref><ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-533</ref><ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-229</ref>

Chris is a descendant of his 10th great-grandfather '''{{w|Edward Palmer (d.1624)|Edward Palmer}}''' (c. 1555–1624) from {{w|Gloucestershire}}, England, a gentleman with antiquarian interests who was known for his [[Stamps|extensive collections]] such as Roman coins and is best remembered for purchasing the then unnamed {{w|Garrett Island}} in colony of Virginia (now Maryland) for his plan of establishing university at the island.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-544</ref>

Edward had a son whom Chris is also descendant from. '''{{w|Thomas Palmer (burgess)|Thomas Palmer}}''' settled at Jamestown, Virginia on a boat ''Tyger'' with his wife Joan Jordan and 11 years old daughter Priscilla in November 1621. Shortly after their arrival at Jamestown, the Palmers were nearly killed by the [[Cherokian Clan|Powhatans]] during the {{w|Indian massacre of 1622}}, but survived by living in {{w|Jordan Point, Virginia#Jordan's Journey: Beggars Bush|Jordan's Journey}} shelter residence. Thomas was a captain in command of a company of militia from {{w|Eppes Island|Shirley Hundred Island}} and was a member of {{w|House of Burgesses}} at Jamestown on October 16, 1629.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-229</ref>

Perhaps notably, Thomas was a first cousin of [[Chris_and_writing#Chris_as_a_poet_and_lyricist|poet]] and [[Chris_and_writing#Chris_as_an_essayist|essayist]] '''{{w|Thomas Overbury}}''' through his father's sister Mary Palmer and her husband {{w|Nicholas Overbury}}. Overbury was known for his poem, ''A Wife'', and a victim of murder by poisoning which led to a scandalous trial.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Overbury-10</ref>

=== Sir James Croft ===
Sir {{w|James Croft}} (1518- 4 September 1590) was English politician, who was Lord Deputy of Ireland, and MP for Herefordshire in the Parliament of England, He is Chris 12th great-grandfather on his paternal side.

=== Hugh and Isabel Bardolf ===
[[Image:Chris Anne Boleyn.png|thumb|How Chris is related to Anne Boleyn.]]
'''Hugh Bardolf''' (c. 29 September 1259 - c. 20 September 1304) <ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bardolf-9</ref> and '''Isabel Bardolf''' (born '''Isabel Aguillon'''; c. 25 March 1258 - c. 28 May 1323) <ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Aguillon-5</ref>, Chris' 19th great-grandparents, were a medieval English couple who married in 1281. According to a Redditor's Wikitree research in 2022, they are Chris' most recent shared ancestors with [[Anne Boleyn]] (albeit on his father's side, not his mother's): they gave birth to Thomas (Boleyn's 6th great-grandfather) in 1282, Margery around 1283, William in 1284, and Nicola (Chris' 18th great-grandmother) around 1294. This means that, although Chris is not ''descended'' from Anne Boleyn, he is indeed a distant relative. This is hardly surprising, as all humans are relatives of each other of varying distance.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/ChrisChanSonichu/comments/tedhwz/barb_may_not_have_been_related_to_anne_boleyn_but/</ref><ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Aguillon-5</ref>

In addition to being the source of Chris's distant connection with Anne Boleyn, Hugh Bardolf was the first nobleman of {{w|Baron Bardolf}}, a noble title in the {{w|Peerage of England}}. His wife Isabel was a member of the {{w|Aguillon family}} (of French origin), who were feudal landowners in England. Isabel's father, Sir Robert Aguillon (c. 1226 - 15 February 1286)<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Aguillon-4</ref>, was a Sheriff of Surrey & Sussex County and a keeper of two castles in both counties.

Hugh Bardolf's descendants unite with those of John Chandler (b. 1600) in 1700, when Robert Chandler (John's grandson, 1659 - c. 1720) and his wife Elizabeth Palmer (Hugh's 10th great-granddaughter, b. 1664) give birth to Joseph Chandler (11 Aug 1700 - 11 Oct 1764), Chris' 6th great-grandparent, in {{w|New Kent, Virginia}}.

A stark contrast can be observed in the fact that Hugh's first child is the ancestor of prestigious nobility (namely an Anne Boleyn and actual queen of England, Elizabeth I), while Hugh's fourth and last child is the ancestor of our infamous protagonist.

== Dixiechus ==
"'''Dixiechus'''" is a nickname used by Christorians to describe ancestors of Chris who fought for the {{w|Confederate States of America}} during the {{w|American Civil War}}. It is a portmanteau of ''{{w|Dixie}}'' and ''[[Sonichu]]''. The first Dixiechu to be identified was Joseph Chandler, discovered by Kiwifarms user Meat Pickle on 20 December 2021. The term "Dixiechu" was proposed on the [[Official CWCki Server]] on 24 April 2024, by which point four Dixiechus had been identified.

During the [[Jail Saga]], Chris was asked if he may have had ancestors who fought for the Confederacy, at a time when Joseph Chandler (on his father's side) was the only known Dixiechu. In [[Jail Letter - 25 May 2022]], he denied that his father's ancestors had fought for the Confederacy, but conceded that his mother's ancestors may have done so. In 2024, Christorians discovered William Drury Thompson - a Dixiechu on the maternal side of Chris' ancestry - partially vindicating Chris' statement.

In chronological order from most to least recent death, the Dixiechus include:

=== Joseph Chandler ===
[[File:Joseph chandler.png|thumb|right|150px|Joseph Chandler in 1911]]
'''Joseph Chandler''' (14 April 1832 - January 1925) of {{w|Autauga County, Alabama}} is Chris's great-great-grandfather along his paternal line. Joseph Chandler enlisted in the Confederate Army as a private in May 1862. Serving in the unit {{w|38th Alabama Infantry Regiment}} at {{w|Fort Gaines, Alabama|Fort Gaines}}, he fought in the {{w|Battle of Mobile Bay}} before being paroled in April 1865 after the conclusion of the war and was later discharged in August of that year due to broken shoulder.<ref>[https://kiwifarms.net/threads/random-thoughts-questions.49854/page-1487#post-10736839 A Kiwi Farms post with a record of Joseph Chandler]</ref><ref>https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/search-soldiers-detail.htm?soldierId=0AA5818C-DC7A-DF11-BF36-B8AC6F5D926A</ref> Joseph's professions after the war were farmer, shoe maker and largely a herb doctor.<ref>http://alagenealogy.com/Patriarchs/Chandler,%20Sidney%20Smith.htm#JOSEPH%20H.2%20CHANDLER</ref>

Joseph also had a younger brother Edmund (1835 - 1865, Chris's great-great-granduncle), who also fought for the Confederacy at [https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Camp_of_Instruction,_Talladega,_Alabama#:~:text=Talladega%20was%20one%20of%20two,would%20be%20obliged%20to%20enroll.| Camp of Instruction, Talladega, Alabama], died as a result during the war in 1865.<ref>https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/search-soldiers-detail.htm?soldierId=C3A5818C-DC7A-DF11-BF36-B8AC6F5D926A</ref> Joseph's two younger sons John (1876 - 1932) and Rufus (1880 - 1932), both were killed on March 21, 1932 in {{w|Chilton County, Alabama|Chilton County area}}, from the {{w|1932 Deep South tornado outbreak}}.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/106731994/john-tyler_morgan-chandler</ref><ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26986157/rufus-sidney-chandler</ref>

=== Caleb Nelson Headley ===
[[File:CalebHeadley.png|thumb|right|150px|Caleb Headley]]

'''Caleb Nelson Headley''' (1847-1921) was born on the 8th of March 1845 (1846 or 1847 depending on which source) in Darlington County, South Carolina as the only son of Wills Headley and Rebecca Bell, Caleb's father Wills died when he was just 7 years old in 1854, and he was soon taken into the custody of James Huckabee (who would later become his stepfather), who taught the boy farming until he was 21 years old.

In 1863 when he was just 18 years old, he enlisted in the Confederate Army as part of the 63rd Alabama Regiment, Company H (They were also known as Second Alabama Reserve), he took part in fighting in Spanish Fort (he was wounded) and was discharged at his home (he was on furlough at the time) in May of 1865.

Shortly after the end of the war, he settled in Coosa County Alabama, in 1874 he married Caroline Louisa Estes when he was 28 and she was 24 at her father's house in Talladega, Alabama, He would have 8 children from 1874 to 1892 including Martha Headley (Bob's paternal grandmother), Caleb was a farmer for most of his life, in 1898 he attempted to run for a political seat in Alabama State Assembly as a Representative for Chilton County as independent but withdraw and then backed the Populist ticket for that seat.

Caleb would see his health worsen in his later years, he became nearly blind by his late 60s and by 1920 was living with his son Robert E. L Headley. He died on August 21st, 1921 in Shelby County, Alabama at age of 76.

=== William Teer ===
[[File:Willam Teer.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Image of William Teer. (Very likely to be authentic) <ref>This image was uploaded to findagrave in 2016; William Teer was not known to Christorians to be Chris' ancestor in 2016. Family trees from both 2017[https://sonichu.com/cwcki/File:Chris%27s_family_tree_up_to_his_great_great_grandparents.png] and 2019[https://imgur.com/gallery/0BgQLyH] omit the ancestry of Bob's maternal grandmother. Furthermore, his biography on rootsweb uses a similar image.[https://freepages.rootsweb.com/~dougmay/genealogy/Wmteer.htm]</ref>]]
Bob's matrilineal great-grandfather, '''Dr. William Teer''' (March 29, 1837 - October 19, 1919), was born in {{w|Neshoba County, Mississippi}}, and grew up in {{w|Angelina County, Texas}} since he was 10 years old with his seven siblings. The family later relocated to {{w|Hopkins County, Texas|Hopkins County}} outside {{w|Cumby, Texas|Cumby}} in 1860, where he worked as a farmer before enlisting in the army for the Civil War.

In October 1861, aged 24, William and his two brothers James (1830 - 1863) and Wiley (1839 - 1862), enlisted in the Confederate Army in San Antonio. Serving in the 4th Texas Cavalry Regiment, William participated in the {{w|New Mexico campaign}} under {{w|Henry Hopkins Sibley|General Sibley}}. Both of his brothers died during the war; James died at a Union prison camp in Williamsburg, Virginia, in 1863. William and Wiley fought in the battles of {{w|Battle of Valverde|Valverde}} and later to {{w|Battle of Glorietta Pass|Glorietta Pass}}, where in April 1862, Wiley was reportedly "lost or killed" and William suffered serious injuries, including a shattered right arm, a damaged spleen, and later contracting hepatitis (It might be worth reflecting how close Teer was to dying at this point - a slightly different outcome could have prevented all of Christory a century before it began). After the capture of Texas Army's supply wagons by the US Army, they retreated, leaving William and other recovering soldiers at the {{w|Santa Fe, New Mexico|Santa Fe}} hospital before shortly being captured. He was later paroled in May 1862, returning to San Antonio. Due to his injuries and disability, he was honorably discharged from his unit by General {{w|Thomas Green (general)|Thomas Green}} in September 1863 and returned to his home in Cumby, working as a farmer despite his shattered right arm.

William was married four times throughout his life. In December 1862, he married Mary Frances Carraway of Alabama, who passed away in 1867. He then remarried Louisa Frances Spears of Tennesse, in 1868, but that marriage also ended early. In January 1871, he married Nancy Jane Coburn of {{w|Ashley County, Arkansas}}. From this marriage, he had seven children, including Mary Francis Teer, Bob's maternal grandmother and the wife of John James Hollomon. After Nancy's death in 1894, William remarried to Bettie King of {{w|Mount Pleasant, Texas|Mount Pleasant}} in March 1907 at age 70, and this marriage lasted until his death in 1919.

In November 1903, inspired by the nerve damage in his shattered right arm, William established himself as an {{w|osteopath}} doctor in {{w|Tyler, Texas}}, specializing in "Exophthalmic Goitre, Biliary Calculi (Gall Stones) Paralysis, and all Nervous Diseases." He became the president of the State Association of Drugless Doctors of Texas and advocated massaging and other holistic approaches to wellness. As a doctor in Tyler, he was described as a highly respected figure, endorsed by many prominent members of the city's society. After retiring, he resided at the Texas Confederate Home in Austin before moving back to Cumby in 1918, where he later passed away in October 1919 at his youngest daughter's {{w|Miller Grove, Texas|Miller Grove}} home caused by a second paralyzing stroke.

William was mentioned in a book titled "[https://archive.org/details/texanswhoworegra00john| Texans who Wore the Gray (1907)]", written by a Confederate officer, journalist, and author Sidney Smith Johnson (1840-1910). Johnson described William as "a brave Confederate soldier, a man of fine education, and a Christian gentleman."

=== Garnder E. Shearin ===
'''Garnder E. Shearin'''' (1836/1837 - 28 January 1901)<ref>https://digital.ncdcr.gov/Documents/Detail/shearin-gardner-e.-warren-county/1671784</ref><ref>https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-warren-record-gardner-early-shearin/521312/</ref> was a Confederate veteran from North Carolina. He married Martha in 1859. In May 1861, he enlisted in the Confederate army in Warren County, North Carolina, fighting in company B of North Carolina's 30th infantry regiment remaining in service until the end of the war in 1865.

An obituary to him reads: "I was not with him in the army but learned from others, that he was a faithful soldier. My association with him since the war enables me to say I never knew a kinder hearted or monre congenial natured man. Always ready to serve a friend."

He is ancestor of Chris via Barb's side of his ancestry.

=== William Drury Thompson ===
'''William Drury Thompson''' (1814 - 17 May 1862) was a civil war enlistee from North Carolina, although it's unknown which side of the military force, (although there's a record suggesting he's a Confederate enlistee for North Carolina's Infantry 12th Regiment), died during his basic training in Richmond, Virginia due to illnesses, 2 months after enlisting.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/262604729/william-drury-thompson</ref>

He is Chris' great-great-great-grandfather. More specifically, he is the paternal grandfather of the maternal grandmother of Barbara.

=== Rufus Walker ===

'''Rufus Walker''' (1820-1895) was a Confederate soldier who served in Company H and came from Milton, Alabama, located in Autauga County. He became a prisoner of war after being surrendered by Lieutenant General Richard Taylor to Major E.R.S. Canby on May 4, 1865. Rufus was later paroled in Selma in June 1865.<ref>https://38thalabama.com/ndashv-to-zndash.html</ref>

He is Chris' great-great-great-grandfather, with the lineage as follows: Rufus Walker (1820-1895) > Mary Elizabeth Walker (1840-1887) > Joseph Chandler (1871-1947) > Robert F. Chandler Sr. (1906-1977) > Robert ("[[Bob]]") F. Chandler Jr. (1927-2011) > Chris

==Ancestry.com content==
In [[January 2017]], a distant relative of Chris posted images to Kiwi Farms, on various documents relating to the Chandler family, acquired from Ancestry.com<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/interesting-info-about-chriss-family-particularly-their-parents.27521/</ref>

{{quotebox|Bob is apparently an only child, however Barbara has five deceased siblings and several more living ones.}}
{{quotebox|Most of Chris's ancestors were [[RandomSong1|farmers]], doing tasks that Chris would find back breaking.}}
{{quotebox|Chris, from what I gathered, is not 1/16 Cherokian. He is however 1/16 British and 1/8 French Canadian.}}
{{quotebox|His great great grandparent's from Northern Ireland.}}
The "Northern Irish" ancestor was Chris's great-great-grandmother Mary Weston (née McClintic, 31 Oct 1834 - 25 Dec 1910). Mary was born in the town of {{w|Omagh}} (whose name means "the [[Virgin with Rage|virgin]] plain" in Gaelic) in County [[niggos|Tyrone]], in what is today {{w|Northern Ireland}}. She came to the United States between 1840 and 1850, likely as a result of the {{w|Irish Potato Famine}}.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/22502739/joseph-mcclintock</ref> She settled in Augusta, Ohio, where she married Joseph "John" Edward Weston, Chris's great-great-grandfather, in 1858, who was also from Augusta. Both later settled in {{w|Clarksville, Virginia}}.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/24279732/mary-weston</ref>

The "French Canadian" ancestor was Chris's great-grandmother Sarah Ann Weston (née {{w|Clan Hamilton|Hamilton}}, Apr 1867 - 25 Jan 1938), who was born in [[wikipedia:Huntingdon, Quebec|Huntingdon]], {{w|Quebec}} and came to Virginia with her family during the 1870s, settling near Red Oak.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/35318370/sarah-jane-weston</ref><ref>https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/6823228286:62476</ref> Although the majority of Quebeckers speak French, her surname and the fact that she was born in a predominantly English-speaking part of Quebec suggest that she belonged to the province's English-speaking minority. Moreover, her paternal and maternal grandparents were all born in [[Tito Got No Luck Against We Brits, Irish and Scots!|Scotland]], making her of entirely Scottish descent.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/249266361/jane-hamilton</ref><ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/249027191/daniel-hamilton</ref> Sarah is Chris's most recent immigrant ancestor.

== Notable ancestors ==
This section lists Chris' ancestors in chronological order from most to least recent death. Ancestors who fought for the Confederate States of America are listed separately, in the "Dixiechu" section.

=== Robert Wynn ===
Barbara's maternal grandfather '''Robert Pettus Wynn''' (17 Nov 1882 - 20 Jan 1954) was allegedly a two-timing [[Alcohol|drunk]] and moonshiner who "failed to provide even the most basic support for his wife and children".<ref>http://www.harveypowers.com/genealogy/roots/individual.html#118</ref> In his death certificate, his profession is given as [[tobacco]] farmer.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/238604751/robert-pettis-wynn</ref>

=== John James Hollomon ===
[[File:John James Hollomon.jpg|thumb|right|150px|John James Hollomon in 1910]]
Bob's maternal grandfather '''John James Hollomon''' (3 May 1868 - 16 Mar 1950) <ref>[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/10638068/john-james-hollomon]</ref> was born in {{w|Meigs County, Tennessee}} but lived most of his later life in {{w|Wylie, Texas}}, a city and suburb in {{w|Collin County, Texas|Collin County}} and {{w|Dallas}} respectively. He was a well-known local pharmacist in the Collin county for over 50 years. He married twice in his life, first to Mary Francis Hollomon (née Teer 10th March 1872 - 3 Jul 1914), the daughter of a doctor specializing in osteopathic, whom he had 4 children including Jean Hollomon, Bob's mother. In 1915 he married Helen E. Hollomon (née Nelms 10 Apr 1893 - 29 Oct 1972) with whom he had 3 more children including Bob's half uncle Dr. John James "JJ" Hollomon Jr (1917-1992). Bob reminisces that Hollomon gave him a straight razor "by means of [Hollomon's] last will and testament," and Bob instead broke it while using it as a screwdriver, which he later held onto this regret for decades well into his 60s because he believed Hollomon wanted him to have it as a personal item and value.

Notable enough, his father was an Esquire John Richmond Hollomon (1831 - 1899), a lawyer and attorney in the Meigs County area.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/70362078/susanna-brady#:~:text=of%20her%20son%2C-,J.R.%20Hollomon%20Esq.,-of%20this%20county</ref> More notable enough, his grandfather Pleasant Hollomon (1803 - 1865), served in the {{w|Tennessee House of Representatives}} in the Meigs and {{w|Rhea County, Tennessee|Rhea}} counties from 1849 to 1851. A democrat, he was a constable of the 5th Civil district of Meigs county in 1836-1839, was a deputy sheriff of Meigs in early 1840s and a deputy and tax collector in 1845.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/70361465/pleasant-hollomon</ref>

===Rev. Sidney Smith Chandler===
'''The Reverend Sidney Smith Chandler''' (1805 - September 1866) was a Baptist minister and clergyman in Alabama, he is Chris's great-great-great grandfather along his paternal line. Born in Georgia, his father died in 1816 when he was 11. he moved to Alabama in 1829 and became a Primitive Baptist Clergyman and Minster in Autauga County. He also was a slaveowner owning one female slave in the 1850 slave census

He later married Mary Lucinda Walker and later fathered 12 children including Joseph and his brother Edmund, He died in September of 1866 just shortly after the end of the American Civil War. Two of his sons. James (1830-1862) and Edmund (1835-1865) would die fighting in the Civil War.

===Francis Weston===
'''Francis Weston Sr.''' (Feb 1793 - 19 March 1838) was an English-born immigrant to the United States and a frontiersmen. He is Barbara's great-great-grandfather along her paternal line, making him Chris's maternal great-great-great-grandfather.

Born in {{w|Derbyshire}}, he had immigrated to [[Ohio]] by 1820 and married at {{w|Wheeling, West Virginia}} a year later to Grace Moore, an English-born American, whose parents were also an immigrants from Derbyshire. They had six out of seven children survived, the second oldest being Mary Ann Weston in 1825 and the youngest Joseph Edward "John" Weston in July 1836,<ref>[https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-6Q23-PTF?i=2&cc=1401638&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AMXSB-9Q8 Joseph (listed as Edward Weston) with his three older siblings and mother Gracy in 1850 census)]</ref><ref>[https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-9BS6-DF?i=8&cc=1473181&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AMCPH-V55 Gracy Weston (Joseph's mother) in 1860 census with her son Francis]</ref> all in {{w|Augusta Township, Carroll County, Ohio|Augusta Township}}. Through Joseph, Francis's surname would be carried on to [[Barbara]], which, in turn, would serve as the basis for [[Chris|our hero]]'s middle name.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/118642485/francis-weston</ref>

According to newspapers, After immigrating to Augusta Township, Francis, a frontiersmen, built a homestead house of his and his family in a wilderness place with 2 other families surrounded by wild animals and forest. The homestead house was a shanty with puncheon floor and chimney made with sticks and clay. They mentioned about the one occasion Francis was chased by wolves in a forest when coming home from buying fresh meats. Francis would pass away at age 45 in March 1838, 2 years after his youngest son Joseph was born.

In a later pseudo-historical account of events by Barbara and Chris, Francis is replaced by a certain [[Daniel Weston]]. Unlike the historical Francis Weston, ''Daniel'' Weston travelled to North America in 1620 (a whole 2 centuries earlier than Francis), and has the honor of being of a descendant of [[Anne Boleyn]] (whose {{w|Elizabeth I|only daughter}} died childless).

Francis' son, Francis Weston Jr, according to newspapers, was a "popular" and successful businessman and general merchant, owning iron and furnace company, and many other successful companies at Ohio, West Virginia and Missouri with a college education to his name. Through his daughter Jane, Francis Sr is the grandfather of {{w|Pierce County, Washington}}'s Superior Court judge & attorney William Oscar Chapman, who at the time of admitting to {{w|Ohio State Bar Association|Ohio bar}}, was in the same group of applicants with a later president of the United States {{w|William Howard Taft}}.

=== Captain Joseph Looney ===
Joseph Lewellyn Looney (abt.1740-1816) fought in the {{w|American Revolutionary War}} on the Patriot side. He fought in the {{w|Battle of Guilford Court House}} under major general [[Nathanael Greene Elementary School|Nathanael Greene]].<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Looney-149</ref>

=== Polly Bowman ===
{{main|Ancient leader of the Cherokee Clan}}
Chris has at least one [[Cherokee]] ancestor, about whom he absolutely knows nothing. The ancestor was introduced in ''[[Sonichu 2|Sonichu #2]]'', which was completed on 3 May 2005. The ancestor was long assumed to be nonexistent, but on 16 January 2025 - 19 years and 8 months later - the ancestor was discovered to be real by CWCki editor [[User:Cilria2|Cilria2]]. '''Polly Bowman "Cherokee Mother" Cherokee''' (abt 1703 to 1790) is Chris's 7th great-grandmother.

=== John Chandler and Elizabeth Lupo ===
Although there is no evidence that his mother's ancestors were on board the ''Mayflower'', Chris's paternal ancestors were among the first settlers of his home state of Virginia. Chris's direct male ancestor '''John Chandler''' (c. 1600-1657), a native of London, was an early settler of {{w|Jamestown, Virginia|Jamestown}}, [[Virginia]], arriving in 1610 with a boat ''Hercules'', ten years before the ''Mayflower''.<ref>https://www.geni.com/people/John-Chandler-l/6000000008639070482</ref> John married the widow '''Elizabeth Lupo''' (née '''Bassano'''), a member of the illustrious {{w|Jeronimo Bassano|Bassano family}} of [[music|musicians]] who had been recruited from Venice by {{w|King Henry VIII}} to serve in his court (some have claimed that the Bassanos were of [[Jewish]] origin, but the jury is out). The Chandler family migrated southwest over the generations, passing through North Carolina and Georgia before settling in Alabama, Bob's home state.

John Chandler is the fifth great-grandfather of the Dixiechu Joseph Chandler, and the ninth great-grandfather of Chris.

===Richard Baker===
{{w|Richard Baker (chronicler)|Richard Baker}} (c. 1568 – 18 February 1645) was a politician, historian and religious writer. He was the English author of the ''Chronicle of the Kings of England'' and other works.

He is the 12th great-grandfather of Chris on Bob's mother side.

===Edward, Thomas Palmer & Thomas Overbury===
Thanks to John Chandler's grandson's wife Elizabeth Palmer, Chris's 7th great-grandmother, some Christorians did research about her ancestors. Chris has three known ancestors, two of which are Chris descendent of, and other is distantly related.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-2791</ref><ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-533</ref><ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-229</ref>

Chris is a descendant of his 10th great-grandfather '''{{w|Edward Palmer (d.1624)|Edward Palmer}}''' (c. 1555–1624) from {{w|Gloucestershire}}, England, a gentleman with antiquarian interests who was known for his [[Stamps|extensive collections]] such as Roman coins and is best remembered for purchasing the then unnamed {{w|Garrett Island}} in colony of Virginia (now Maryland) for his plan of establishing university at the island.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-544</ref>

Edward had a son whom Chris is also descendant from. '''{{w|Thomas Palmer (burgess)|Thomas Palmer}}''' settled at Jamestown, Virginia on a boat ''Tyger'' with his wife Joan Jordan and 11 years old daughter Priscilla in November 1621. Shortly after their arrival at Jamestown, the Palmers were nearly killed by the [[Cherokian Clan|Powhatans]] during the {{w|Indian massacre of 1622}}, but survived by living in {{w|Jordan Point, Virginia#Jordan's Journey: Beggars Bush|Jordan's Journey}} shelter residence. Thomas was a captain in command of a company of militia from {{w|Eppes Island|Shirley Hundred Island}} and was a member of {{w|House of Burgesses}} at Jamestown on October 16, 1629.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-229</ref>

Perhaps notably, Thomas was a first cousin of [[Chris_and_writing#Chris_as_a_poet_and_lyricist|poet]] and [[Chris_and_writing#Chris_as_an_essayist|essayist]] '''{{w|Thomas Overbury}}''' through his father's sister Mary Palmer and her husband {{w|Nicholas Overbury}}. Overbury was known for his poem, ''A Wife'', and a victim of murder by poisoning which led to a scandalous trial.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Overbury-10</ref>

=== Sir James Croft ===
Sir {{w|James Croft}} (1518- 4 September 1590) was English politician, who was Lord Deputy of Ireland, and MP for Herefordshire in the Parliament of England, He is Chris 12th great-grandfather on his paternal side.

=== Hugh and Isabel Bardolf ===
[[Image:Chris Anne Boleyn.png|thumb|How Chris is related to Anne Boleyn.]]
'''Hugh Bardolf''' (c. 29 September 1259 - c. 20 September 1304) <ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bardolf-9</ref> and '''Isabel Bardolf''' (born '''Isabel Aguillon'''; c. 25 March 1258 - c. 28 May 1323) <ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Aguillon-5</ref>, Chris' 19th great-grandparents, were a medieval English couple who married in 1281. According to a Redditor's Wikitree research in 2022, they are Chris' most recent shared ancestors with [[Anne Boleyn]] (albeit on his father's side, not his mother's): they gave birth to Thomas (Boleyn's 6th great-grandfather) in 1282, Margery around 1283, William in 1284, and Nicola (Chris' 18th great-grandmother) around 1294. This means that, although Chris is not ''descended'' from Anne Boleyn, he is indeed a distant relative. This is hardly surprising, as all humans are relatives of each other of varying distance.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/ChrisChanSonichu/comments/tedhwz/barb_may_not_have_been_related_to_anne_boleyn_but/</ref><ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Aguillon-5</ref>

In addition to being the source of Chris's distant connection with Anne Boleyn, Hugh Bardolf was the first nobleman of {{w|Baron Bardolf}}, a noble title in the {{w|Peerage of England}}. His wife Isabel was a member of the {{w|Aguillon family}} (of French origin), who were feudal landowners in England. Isabel's father, Sir Robert Aguillon (c. 1226 - 15 February 1286)<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Aguillon-4</ref>, was a Sheriff of Surrey & Sussex County and a keeper of two castles in both counties.

Hugh Bardolf's descendants unite with those of John Chandler (b. 1600) in 1700, when Robert Chandler (John's grandson, 1659 - c. 1720) and his wife Elizabeth Palmer (Hugh's 10th great-granddaughter, b. 1664) give birth to Joseph Chandler (11 Aug 1700 - 11 Oct 1764), Chris' 6th great-grandparent, in {{w|New Kent, Virginia}}.

A stark contrast can be observed in the fact that Hugh's first child is the ancestor of prestigious nobility (namely an Anne Boleyn and actual queen of England, Elizabeth I), while Hugh's fourth and last child is the ancestor of our infamous protagonist.

== Dixiechus ==
"'''Dixiechus'''" is a nickname used by Christorians to describe ancestors of Chris who fought for the {{w|Confederate States of America}} during the {{w|American Civil War}}. It is a portmanteau of ''{{w|Dixie}}'' and ''[[Sonichu]]''. The first Dixiechu to be identified was Joseph Chandler, discovered by Kiwifarms user Meat Pickle on 20 December 2021. The term "Dixiechu" was proposed on the [[Official CWCki Server]] on 24 April 2024, by which point four Dixiechus had been identified.

During the [[Jail Saga]], Chris was asked if he may have had ancestors who fought for the Confederacy, at a time when Joseph Chandler (on his father's side) was the only known Dixiechu. In [[Jail Letter - 25 May 2022]], he denied that his father's ancestors had fought for the Confederacy, but conceded that his mother's ancestors may have done so. In 2024, Christorians discovered William Drury Thompson - a Dixiechu on the maternal side of Chris' ancestry - partially vindicating Chris' statement.

In chronological order from most to least recent death, the Dixiechus include:

=== Joseph Chandler ===
[[File:Joseph chandler.png|thumb|right|150px|Joseph Chandler in 1911]]
'''Joseph Chandler''' (14 April 1832 - January 1925) of {{w|Autauga County, Alabama}} is Chris's great-great-grandfather along his paternal line. Joseph Chandler enlisted in the Confederate Army as a private in May 1862. Serving in the unit {{w|38th Alabama Infantry Regiment}} at {{w|Fort Gaines, Alabama|Fort Gaines}}, he fought in the {{w|Battle of Mobile Bay}} before being paroled in April 1865 after the conclusion of the war and was later discharged in August of that year due to broken shoulder.<ref>[https://kiwifarms.net/threads/random-thoughts-questions.49854/page-1487#post-10736839 A Kiwi Farms post with a record of Joseph Chandler]</ref><ref>https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/search-soldiers-detail.htm?soldierId=0AA5818C-DC7A-DF11-BF36-B8AC6F5D926A</ref> Joseph's professions after the war were farmer, shoe maker and largely a herb doctor.<ref>http://alagenealogy.com/Patriarchs/Chandler,%20Sidney%20Smith.htm#JOSEPH%20H.2%20CHANDLER</ref>

Joseph also had a younger brother Edmund (1835 - 1865, Chris's great-great-granduncle), who also fought for the Confederacy at [https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Camp_of_Instruction,_Talladega,_Alabama#:~:text=Talladega%20was%20one%20of%20two,would%20be%20obliged%20to%20enroll.| Camp of Instruction, Talladega, Alabama], died as a result during the war in 1865.<ref>https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/search-soldiers-detail.htm?soldierId=C3A5818C-DC7A-DF11-BF36-B8AC6F5D926A</ref> Joseph's two younger sons John (1876 - 1932) and Rufus (1880 - 1932), both were killed on March 21, 1932 in {{w|Chilton County, Alabama|Chilton County area}}, from the {{w|1932 Deep South tornado outbreak}}.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/106731994/john-tyler_morgan-chandler</ref><ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26986157/rufus-sidney-chandler</ref>

=== Caleb Nelson Headley ===
[[File:CalebHeadley.png|thumb|right|150px|Caleb Headley]]

'''Caleb Nelson Headley''' (1847-1921) was born on the 8th of March 1845 (1846 or 1847 depending on which source) in Darlington County, South Carolina as the only son of Wills Headley and Rebecca Bell, Caleb's father Wills died when he was just 7 years old in 1854, and he was soon taken into the custody of James Huckabee (who would later become his stepfather), who taught the boy farming until he was 21 years old.

In 1863 when he was just 18 years old, he enlisted in the Confederate Army as part of the 63rd Alabama Regiment, Company H (They were also known as Second Alabama Reserve), he took part in fighting in Spanish Fort (he was wounded) and was discharged at his home (he was on furlough at the time) in May of 1865.

Shortly after the end of the war, he settled in Coosa County Alabama, in 1874 he married Caroline Louisa Estes when he was 28 and she was 24 at her father's house in Talladega, Alabama, He would have 8 children from 1874 to 1892 including Martha Headley (Bob's paternal grandmother), Caleb was a farmer for most of his life, in 1898 he attempted to run for a political seat in Alabama State Assembly as a Representative for Chilton County as independent but withdraw and then backed the Populist ticket for that seat.

Caleb would see his health worsen in his later years, he became nearly blind by his late 60s and by 1920 was living with his son Robert E. L Headley. He died on August 21st, 1921 in Shelby County, Alabama at age of 76.

=== William Teer ===
[[File:Willam Teer.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Image of William Teer. (Very likely to be authentic) <ref>This image was uploaded to findagrave in 2016; William Teer was not known to Christorians to be Chris' ancestor in 2016. Family trees from both 2017[https://sonichu.com/cwcki/File:Chris%27s_family_tree_up_to_his_great_great_grandparents.png] and 2019[https://imgur.com/gallery/0BgQLyH] omit the ancestry of Bob's maternal grandmother. Furthermore, his biography on rootsweb uses a similar image.[https://freepages.rootsweb.com/~dougmay/genealogy/Wmteer.htm]</ref>]]
Bob's matrilineal great-grandfather, '''Dr. William Teer''' (March 29, 1837 - October 19, 1919), was born in {{w|Neshoba County, Mississippi}}, and grew up in {{w|Angelina County, Texas}} since he was 10 years old with his seven siblings. The family later relocated to {{w|Hopkins County, Texas|Hopkins County}} outside {{w|Cumby, Texas|Cumby}} in 1860, where he worked as a farmer before enlisting in the army for the Civil War.

In October 1861, aged 24, William and his two brothers James (1830 - 1863) and Wiley (1839 - 1862), enlisted in the Confederate Army in San Antonio. Serving in the 4th Texas Cavalry Regiment, William participated in the {{w|New Mexico campaign}} under {{w|Henry Hopkins Sibley|General Sibley}}. Both of his brothers died during the war; James died at a Union prison camp in Williamsburg, Virginia, in 1863. William and Wiley fought in the battles of {{w|Battle of Valverde|Valverde}} and later to {{w|Battle of Glorietta Pass|Glorietta Pass}}, where in April 1862, Wiley was reportedly "lost or killed" and William suffered serious injuries, including a shattered right arm, a damaged spleen, and later contracting hepatitis (It might be worth reflecting how close Teer was to dying at this point - a slightly different outcome could have prevented all of Christory a century before it began). After the capture of Texas Army's supply wagons by the US Army, they retreated, leaving William and other recovering soldiers at the {{w|Santa Fe, New Mexico|Santa Fe}} hospital before shortly being captured. He was later paroled in May 1862, returning to San Antonio. Due to his injuries and disability, he was honorably discharged from his unit by General {{w|Thomas Green (general)|Thomas Green}} in September 1863 and returned to his home in Cumby, working as a farmer despite his shattered right arm.

William was married four times throughout his life. In December 1862, he married Mary Frances Carraway of Alabama, who passed away in 1867. He then remarried Louisa Frances Spears of Tennesse, in 1868, but that marriage also ended early. In January 1871, he married Nancy Jane Coburn of {{w|Ashley County, Arkansas}}. From this marriage, he had seven children, including Mary Francis Teer, Bob's maternal grandmother and the wife of John James Hollomon. After Nancy's death in 1894, William remarried to Bettie King of {{w|Mount Pleasant, Texas|Mount Pleasant}} in March 1907 at age 70, and this marriage lasted until his death in 1919.

In November 1903, inspired by the nerve damage in his shattered right arm, William established himself as an {{w|osteopath}} doctor in {{w|Tyler, Texas}}, specializing in "Exophthalmic Goitre, Biliary Calculi (Gall Stones) Paralysis, and all Nervous Diseases." He became the president of the State Association of Drugless Doctors of Texas and advocated massaging and other holistic approaches to wellness. As a doctor in Tyler, he was described as a highly respected figure, endorsed by many prominent members of the city's society. After retiring, he resided at the Texas Confederate Home in Austin before moving back to Cumby in 1918, where he later passed away in October 1919 at his youngest daughter's {{w|Miller Grove, Texas|Miller Grove}} home caused by a second paralyzing stroke.

William was mentioned in a book titled "[https://archive.org/details/texanswhoworegra00john| Texans who Wore the Gray (1907)]", written by a Confederate officer, journalist, and author Sidney Smith Johnson (1840-1910). Johnson described William as "a brave Confederate soldier, a man of fine education, and a Christian gentleman."

=== Garnder E. Shearin ===
'''Garnder E. Shearin'''' (1836/1837 - 28 January 1901)<ref>https://digital.ncdcr.gov/Documents/Detail/shearin-gardner-e.-warren-county/1671784</ref><ref>https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-warren-record-gardner-early-shearin/521312/</ref> was a Confederate veteran from North Carolina. He married Martha in 1859. In May 1861, he enlisted in the Confederate army in Warren County, North Carolina, fighting in company B of North Carolina's 30th infantry regiment remaining in service until the end of the war in 1865.

An obituary to him reads: "I was not with him in the army but learned from others, that he was a faithful soldier. My association with him since the war enables me to say I never knew a kinder hearted or monre congenial natured man. Always ready to serve a friend."

He is ancestor of Chris via Barb's side of his ancestry.

=== William Drury Thompson ===
'''William Drury Thompson''' (1814 - 17 May 1862) was a civil war enlistee from North Carolina, although it's unknown which side of the military force, (although there's a record suggesting he's a Confederate enlistee for North Carolina's Infantry 12th Regiment), died during his basic training in Richmond, Virginia due to illnesses, 2 months after enlisting.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/262604729/william-drury-thompson</ref>

He is Chris' great-great-great-grandfather. More specifically, he is the paternal grandfather of the maternal grandmother of Barbara.

=== Rufus Walker ===

'''Rufus Walker''' (1820-1895) was a Confederate soldier who served in Company H and came from Milton, Alabama, located in Autauga County. He became a prisoner of war after being surrendered by Lieutenant General Richard Taylor to Major E.R.S. Canby on May 4, 1865. Rufus was later paroled in Selma in June 1865.<ref>https://38thalabama.com/ndashv-to-zndash.html</ref>

He is Chris' great-great-great-grandfather, with the lineage as follows: Rufus Walker (1820-1895) > Mary Elizabeth Walker (1840-1887) > Joseph Chandler (1871-1947) > Robert F. Chandler Sr. (1906-1977) > Robert ("[[Bob]]") F. Chandler Jr. (1927-2011) > Chris

==Ancestry.com content==
In [[January 2017]], a distant relative of Chris posted images to Kiwi Farms, on various documents relating to the Chandler family, acquired from Ancestry.com<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/interesting-info-about-chriss-family-particularly-their-parents.27521/</ref>

{{quotebox|Bob is apparently an only child, however Barbara has five deceased siblings and several more living ones.}}
{{quotebox|Most of Chris's ancestors were [[RandomSong1|farmers]], doing tasks that Chris would find back breaking.}}
{{quotebox|Chris, from what I gathered, is not 1/16 Cherokian. He is however 1/16 British and 1/8 French Canadian.}}
{{quotebox|His great great grandparent's from Northern Ireland.}}
The "Northern Irish" ancestor was Chris's great-great-grandmother Mary Weston (née McClintic, 31 Oct 1834 - 25 Dec 1910). Mary was born in the town of {{w|Omagh}} (whose name means "the [[Virgin with Rage|virgin]] plain" in Gaelic) in County [[niggos|Tyrone]], in what is today {{w|Northern Ireland}}. She came to the United States between 1840 and 1850, likely as a result of the {{w|Irish Potato Famine}}.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/22502739/joseph-mcclintock</ref> She settled in Augusta, Ohio, where she married Joseph "John" Edward Weston, Chris's great-great-grandfather, in 1858, who was also from Augusta. Both later settled in {{w|Clarksville, Virginia}}.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/24279732/mary-weston</ref>

The "French Canadian" ancestor was Chris's great-grandmother Sarah Ann Weston (née {{w|Clan Hamilton|Hamilton}}, Apr 1867 - 25 Jan 1938), who was born in [[wikipedia:Huntingdon, Quebec|Huntingdon]], {{w|Quebec}} and came to Virginia with her family during the 1870s, settling near Red Oak.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/35318370/sarah-jane-weston</ref><ref>https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/6823228286:62476</ref> Although the majority of Quebeckers speak French, her surname and the fact that she was born in a predominantly English-speaking part of Quebec suggest that she belonged to the province's English-speaking minority. Moreover, her paternal and maternal grandparents were all born in [[Tito Got No Luck Against We Brits, Irish and Scots!|Scotland]], making her of entirely Scottish descent.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/249266361/jane-hamilton</ref><ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/249027191/daniel-hamilton</ref> Sarah is Chris's most recent immigrant ancestor.

[[File:Chrisfamilytree.png|thumb|Chris' family tree up to his great-great-grandparents|600x600px]]
Chris's ideas about his ancestry and lineage unsurprisingly differ greatly from what is known to be true.

Family members who live(d) after Chris was born can be found at [[Minor Family Members]].

==What Chris Actually Believes==
This '''Chandler Family Tree''' includes pets and people [[Chris]] ''imagines'' to be related to him:

== Notable ancestors ==
This section lists Chris' ancestors in chronological order from most to least recent death. Ancestors who fought for the Confederate States of America are listed separately, in the "Dixiechu" section.

=== Robert Wynn ===
Barbara's maternal grandfather '''Robert Pettus Wynn''' (17 Nov 1882 - 20 Jan 1954) was allegedly a two-timing [[Alcohol|drunk]] and moonshiner who "failed to provide even the most basic support for his wife and children".<ref>http://www.harveypowers.com/genealogy/roots/individual.html#118</ref> In his death certificate, his profession is given as [[tobacco]] farmer.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/238604751/robert-pettis-wynn</ref>

=== John James Hollomon ===
[[File:John James Hollomon.jpg|thumb|right|150px|John James Hollomon in 1910]]
Bob's maternal grandfather '''John James Hollomon''' (3 May 1868 - 16 Mar 1950) <ref>[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/10638068/john-james-hollomon]</ref> was born in {{w|Meigs County, Tennessee}} but lived most of his later life in {{w|Wylie, Texas}}, a city and suburb in {{w|Collin County, Texas|Collin County}} and {{w|Dallas}} respectively. He was a well-known local pharmacist in the Collin county for over 50 years. He married twice in his life, first to Mary Francis Hollomon (née Teer 10th March 1872 - 3 Jul 1914), the daughter of a doctor specializing in osteopathic, whom he had 4 children including Jean Hollomon, Bob's mother. In 1915 he married Helen E. Hollomon (née Nelms 10 Apr 1893 - 29 Oct 1972) with whom he had 3 more children including Bob's half uncle Dr. John James "JJ" Hollomon Jr (1917-1992). Bob reminisces that Hollomon gave him a straight razor "by means of [Hollomon's] last will and testament," and Bob instead broke it while using it as a screwdriver, which he later held onto this regret for decades well into his 60s because he believed Hollomon wanted him to have it as a personal item and value.

Notable enough, his father was an Esquire John Richmond Hollomon (1831 - 1899), a lawyer and attorney in the Meigs County area.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/70362078/susanna-brady#:~:text=of%20her%20son%2C-,J.R.%20Hollomon%20Esq.,-of%20this%20county</ref> More notable enough, his grandfather Pleasant Hollomon (1803 - 1865), served in the {{w|Tennessee House of Representatives}} in the Meigs and {{w|Rhea County, Tennessee|Rhea}} counties from 1849 to 1851. A democrat, he was a constable of the 5th Civil district of Meigs county in 1836-1839, was a deputy sheriff of Meigs in early 1840s and a deputy and tax collector in 1845.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/70361465/pleasant-hollomon</ref>

===Rev. Sidney Smith Chandler===
'''The Reverend Sidney Smith Chandler''' (1805 - September 1866) was a Baptist minister and clergyman in Alabama, he is Chris's great-great-great grandfather along his paternal line. Born in Georgia, his father died in 1816 when he was 11. he moved to Alabama in 1829 and became a Primitive Baptist Clergyman and Minster in Autauga County. He also was a slaveowner owning one female slave in the 1850 slave census

He later married Mary Lucinda Walker and later fathered 12 children including Joseph and his brother Edmund, He died in September of 1866 just shortly after the end of the American Civil War. Two of his sons. James (1830-1862) and Edmund (1835-1865) would die fighting in the Civil War.

===Francis Weston===
'''Francis Weston Sr.''' (Feb 1793 - 19 March 1838) was an English-born immigrant to the United States and a frontiersmen. He is Barbara's great-great-grandfather along her paternal line, making him Chris's maternal great-great-great-grandfather.

Born in {{w|Derbyshire}}, he had immigrated to [[Ohio]] by 1820 and married at {{w|Wheeling, West Virginia}} a year later to Grace Moore, an English-born American, whose parents were also an immigrants from Derbyshire. They had six out of seven children survived, the second oldest being Mary Ann Weston in 1825 and the youngest Joseph Edward "John" Weston in July 1836,<ref>[https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-6Q23-PTF?i=2&cc=1401638&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AMXSB-9Q8 Joseph (listed as Edward Weston) with his three older siblings and mother Gracy in 1850 census)]</ref><ref>[https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-9BS6-DF?i=8&cc=1473181&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AMCPH-V55 Gracy Weston (Joseph's mother) in 1860 census with her son Francis]</ref> all in {{w|Augusta Township, Carroll County, Ohio|Augusta Township}}. Through Joseph, Francis's surname would be carried on to [[Barbara]], which, in turn, would serve as the basis for [[Chris|our hero]]'s middle name.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/118642485/francis-weston</ref>

According to newspapers, After immigrating to Augusta Township, Francis, a frontiersmen, built a homestead house of his and his family in a wilderness place with 2 other families surrounded by wild animals and forest. The homestead house was a shanty with puncheon floor and chimney made with sticks and clay. They mentioned about the one occasion Francis was chased by wolves in a forest when coming home from buying fresh meats. Francis would pass away at age 45 in March 1838, 2 years after his youngest son Joseph was born.

In a later pseudo-historical account of events by Barbara and Chris, Francis is replaced by a certain [[Daniel Weston]]. Unlike the historical Francis Weston, ''Daniel'' Weston travelled to North America in 1620 (a whole 2 centuries earlier than Francis), and has the honor of being of a descendant of [[Anne Boleyn]] (whose {{w|Elizabeth I|only daughter}} died childless).

Francis' son, Francis Weston Jr, according to newspapers, was a "popular" and successful businessman and general merchant, owning iron and furnace company, and many other successful companies at Ohio, West Virginia and Missouri with a college education to his name. Through his daughter Jane, Francis Sr is the grandfather of {{w|Pierce County, Washington}}'s Superior Court judge & attorney William Oscar Chapman, who at the time of admitting to {{w|Ohio State Bar Association|Ohio bar}}, was in the same group of applicants with a later president of the United States {{w|William Howard Taft}}.

=== Captain Joseph Looney ===
Joseph Lewellyn Looney (abt.1740-1816) fought in the {{w|American Revolutionary War}} on the Patriot side. He was present in the {{w|Battle of Guilford Court House}} under major general [[Nathanael Greene|Nathanael Greene Elementary School]].<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Looney-149</ref>

=== Polly Bowman ===
{{main|Ancient leader of the Cherokee Clan}}
Chris has at least one [[Cherokee]] ancestor, about whom he absolutely knows nothing. The ancestor was introduced in ''[[Sonichu 2|Sonichu #2]]'', which was completed on 3 May 2005. The ancestor was long assumed to be nonexistent, but on 16 January 2025 - 19 years and 8 months later - the ancestor was discovered to be real by CWCki editor [[User:Cilria2|Cilria2]]. '''Polly Bowman "Cherokee Mother" Cherokee''' (abt 1703 to 1790) is Chris's 7th great-grandmother.

=== John Chandler and Elizabeth Lupo ===
Although there is no evidence that his mother's ancestors were on board the ''Mayflower'', Chris's paternal ancestors were among the first settlers of his home state of Virginia. Chris's direct male ancestor '''John Chandler''' (c. 1600-1657), a native of London, was an early settler of {{w|Jamestown, Virginia|Jamestown}}, [[Virginia]], arriving in 1610 with a boat ''Hercules'', ten years before the ''Mayflower''.<ref>https://www.geni.com/people/John-Chandler-l/6000000008639070482</ref> John married the widow '''Elizabeth Lupo''' (née '''Bassano'''), a member of the illustrious {{w|Jeronimo Bassano|Bassano family}} of [[music|musicians]] who had been recruited from Venice by {{w|King Henry VIII}} to serve in his court (some have claimed that the Bassanos were of [[Jewish]] origin, but the jury is out). The Chandler family migrated southwest over the generations, passing through North Carolina and Georgia before settling in Alabama, Bob's home state.

John Chandler is the fifth great-grandfather of the Dixiechu Joseph Chandler, and the ninth great-grandfather of Chris.

===Richard Baker===
{{w|Richard Baker (chronicler)|Richard Baker}} (c. 1568 – 18 February 1645) was a politician, historian and religious writer. He was the English author of the ''Chronicle of the Kings of England'' and other works.

He is the 12th great-grandfather of Chris on Bob's mother side.

===Edward, Thomas Palmer & Thomas Overbury===
Thanks to John Chandler's grandson's wife Elizabeth Palmer, Chris's 7th great-grandmother, some Christorians did research about her ancestors. Chris has three known ancestors, two of which are Chris descendent of, and other is distantly related.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-2791</ref><ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-533</ref><ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-229</ref>

Chris is a descendant of his 10th great-grandfather '''{{w|Edward Palmer (d.1624)|Edward Palmer}}''' (c. 1555–1624) from {{w|Gloucestershire}}, England, a gentleman with antiquarian interests who was known for his [[Stamps|extensive collections]] such as Roman coins and is best remembered for purchasing the then unnamed {{w|Garrett Island}} in colony of Virginia (now Maryland) for his plan of establishing university at the island.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-544</ref>

Edward had a son whom Chris is also descendant from. '''{{w|Thomas Palmer (burgess)|Thomas Palmer}}''' settled at Jamestown, Virginia on a boat ''Tyger'' with his wife Joan Jordan and 11 years old daughter Priscilla in November 1621. Shortly after their arrival at Jamestown, the Palmers were nearly killed by the [[Cherokian Clan|Powhatans]] during the {{w|Indian massacre of 1622}}, but survived by living in {{w|Jordan Point, Virginia#Jordan's Journey: Beggars Bush|Jordan's Journey}} shelter residence. Thomas was a captain in command of a company of militia from {{w|Eppes Island|Shirley Hundred Island}} and was a member of {{w|House of Burgesses}} at Jamestown on October 16, 1629.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-229</ref>

Perhaps notably, Thomas was a first cousin of [[Chris_and_writing#Chris_as_a_poet_and_lyricist|poet]] and [[Chris_and_writing#Chris_as_an_essayist|essayist]] '''{{w|Thomas Overbury}}''' through his father's sister Mary Palmer and her husband {{w|Nicholas Overbury}}. Overbury was known for his poem, ''A Wife'', and a victim of murder by poisoning which led to a scandalous trial.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Overbury-10</ref>

=== Sir James Croft ===
Sir {{w|James Croft}} (1518- 4 September 1590) was English politician, who was Lord Deputy of Ireland, and MP for Herefordshire in the Parliament of England, He is Chris 12th great-grandfather on his paternal side.

=== Hugh and Isabel Bardolf ===
[[Image:Chris Anne Boleyn.png|thumb|How Chris is related to Anne Boleyn.]]
'''Hugh Bardolf''' (c. 29 September 1259 - c. 20 September 1304) <ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bardolf-9</ref> and '''Isabel Bardolf''' (born '''Isabel Aguillon'''; c. 25 March 1258 - c. 28 May 1323) <ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Aguillon-5</ref>, Chris' 19th great-grandparents, were a medieval English couple who married in 1281. According to a Redditor's Wikitree research in 2022, they are Chris' most recent shared ancestors with [[Anne Boleyn]] (albeit on his father's side, not his mother's): they gave birth to Thomas (Boleyn's 6th great-grandfather) in 1282, Margery around 1283, William in 1284, and Nicola (Chris' 18th great-grandmother) around 1294. This means that, although Chris is not ''descended'' from Anne Boleyn, he is indeed a distant relative. This is hardly surprising, as all humans are relatives of each other of varying distance.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/ChrisChanSonichu/comments/tedhwz/barb_may_not_have_been_related_to_anne_boleyn_but/</ref><ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Aguillon-5</ref>

In addition to being the source of Chris's distant connection with Anne Boleyn, Hugh Bardolf was the first nobleman of {{w|Baron Bardolf}}, a noble title in the {{w|Peerage of England}}. His wife Isabel was a member of the {{w|Aguillon family}} (of French origin), who were feudal landowners in England. Isabel's father, Sir Robert Aguillon (c. 1226 - 15 February 1286)<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Aguillon-4</ref>, was a Sheriff of Surrey & Sussex County and a keeper of two castles in both counties.

Hugh Bardolf's descendants unite with those of John Chandler (b. 1600) in 1700, when Robert Chandler (John's grandson, 1659 - c. 1720) and his wife Elizabeth Palmer (Hugh's 10th great-granddaughter, b. 1664) give birth to Joseph Chandler (11 Aug 1700 - 11 Oct 1764), Chris' 6th great-grandparent, in {{w|New Kent, Virginia}}.

A stark contrast can be observed in the fact that Hugh's first child is the ancestor of prestigious nobility (namely an Anne Boleyn and actual queen of England, Elizabeth I), while Hugh's fourth and last child is the ancestor of our infamous protagonist.

== Dixiechus ==
"'''Dixiechus'''" is a nickname used by Christorians to describe ancestors of Chris who fought for the {{w|Confederate States of America}} during the {{w|American Civil War}}. It is a portmanteau of ''{{w|Dixie}}'' and ''[[Sonichu]]''. The first Dixiechu to be identified was Joseph Chandler, discovered by Kiwifarms user Meat Pickle on 20 December 2021. The term "Dixiechu" was proposed on the [[Official CWCki Server]] on 24 April 2024, by which point four Dixiechus had been identified.

During the [[Jail Saga]], Chris was asked if he may have had ancestors who fought for the Confederacy, at a time when Joseph Chandler (on his father's side) was the only known Dixiechu. In [[Jail Letter - 25 May 2022]], he denied that his father's ancestors had fought for the Confederacy, but conceded that his mother's ancestors may have done so. In 2024, Christorians discovered William Drury Thompson - a Dixiechu on the maternal side of Chris' ancestry - partially vindicating Chris' statement.

In chronological order from most to least recent death, the Dixiechus include:

=== Joseph Chandler ===
[[File:Joseph chandler.png|thumb|right|150px|Joseph Chandler in 1911]]
'''Joseph Chandler''' (14 April 1832 - January 1925) of {{w|Autauga County, Alabama}} is Chris's great-great-grandfather along his paternal line. Joseph Chandler enlisted in the Confederate Army as a private in May 1862. Serving in the unit {{w|38th Alabama Infantry Regiment}} at {{w|Fort Gaines, Alabama|Fort Gaines}}, he fought in the {{w|Battle of Mobile Bay}} before being paroled in April 1865 after the conclusion of the war and was later discharged in August of that year due to broken shoulder.<ref>[https://kiwifarms.net/threads/random-thoughts-questions.49854/page-1487#post-10736839 A Kiwi Farms post with a record of Joseph Chandler]</ref><ref>https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/search-soldiers-detail.htm?soldierId=0AA5818C-DC7A-DF11-BF36-B8AC6F5D926A</ref> Joseph's professions after the war were farmer, shoe maker and largely a herb doctor.<ref>http://alagenealogy.com/Patriarchs/Chandler,%20Sidney%20Smith.htm#JOSEPH%20H.2%20CHANDLER</ref>

Joseph also had a younger brother Edmund (1835 - 1865, Chris's great-great-granduncle), who also fought for the Confederacy at [https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Camp_of_Instruction,_Talladega,_Alabama#:~:text=Talladega%20was%20one%20of%20two,would%20be%20obliged%20to%20enroll.| Camp of Instruction, Talladega, Alabama], died as a result during the war in 1865.<ref>https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/search-soldiers-detail.htm?soldierId=C3A5818C-DC7A-DF11-BF36-B8AC6F5D926A</ref> Joseph's two younger sons John (1876 - 1932) and Rufus (1880 - 1932), both were killed on March 21, 1932 in {{w|Chilton County, Alabama|Chilton County area}}, from the {{w|1932 Deep South tornado outbreak}}.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/106731994/john-tyler_morgan-chandler</ref><ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26986157/rufus-sidney-chandler</ref>

=== Caleb Nelson Headley ===
[[File:CalebHeadley.png|thumb|right|150px|Caleb Headley]]

'''Caleb Nelson Headley''' (1847-1921) was born on the 8th of March 1845 (1846 or 1847 depending on which source) in Darlington County, South Carolina as the only son of Wills Headley and Rebecca Bell, Caleb's father Wills died when he was just 7 years old in 1854, and he was soon taken into the custody of James Huckabee (who would later become his stepfather), who taught the boy farming until he was 21 years old.

In 1863 when he was just 18 years old, he enlisted in the Confederate Army as part of the 63rd Alabama Regiment, Company H (They were also known as Second Alabama Reserve), he took part in fighting in Spanish Fort (he was wounded) and was discharged at his home (he was on furlough at the time) in May of 1865.

Shortly after the end of the war, he settled in Coosa County Alabama, in 1874 he married Caroline Louisa Estes when he was 28 and she was 24 at her father's house in Talladega, Alabama, He would have 8 children from 1874 to 1892 including Martha Headley (Bob's paternal grandmother), Caleb was a farmer for most of his life, in 1898 he attempted to run for a political seat in Alabama State Assembly as a Representative for Chilton County as independent but withdraw and then backed the Populist ticket for that seat.

Caleb would see his health worsen in his later years, he became nearly blind by his late 60s and by 1920 was living with his son Robert E. L Headley. He died on August 21st, 1921 in Shelby County, Alabama at age of 76.

=== William Teer ===
[[File:Willam Teer.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Image of William Teer. (Very likely to be authentic) <ref>This image was uploaded to findagrave in 2016; William Teer was not known to Christorians to be Chris' ancestor in 2016. Family trees from both 2017[https://sonichu.com/cwcki/File:Chris%27s_family_tree_up_to_his_great_great_grandparents.png] and 2019[https://imgur.com/gallery/0BgQLyH] omit the ancestry of Bob's maternal grandmother. Furthermore, his biography on rootsweb uses a similar image.[https://freepages.rootsweb.com/~dougmay/genealogy/Wmteer.htm]</ref>]]
Bob's matrilineal great-grandfather, '''Dr. William Teer''' (March 29, 1837 - October 19, 1919), was born in {{w|Neshoba County, Mississippi}}, and grew up in {{w|Angelina County, Texas}} since he was 10 years old with his seven siblings. The family later relocated to {{w|Hopkins County, Texas|Hopkins County}} outside {{w|Cumby, Texas|Cumby}} in 1860, where he worked as a farmer before enlisting in the army for the Civil War.

In October 1861, aged 24, William and his two brothers James (1830 - 1863) and Wiley (1839 - 1862), enlisted in the Confederate Army in San Antonio. Serving in the 4th Texas Cavalry Regiment, William participated in the {{w|New Mexico campaign}} under {{w|Henry Hopkins Sibley|General Sibley}}. Both of his brothers died during the war; James died at a Union prison camp in Williamsburg, Virginia, in 1863. William and Wiley fought in the battles of {{w|Battle of Valverde|Valverde}} and later to {{w|Battle of Glorietta Pass|Glorietta Pass}}, where in April 1862, Wiley was reportedly "lost or killed" and William suffered serious injuries, including a shattered right arm, a damaged spleen, and later contracting hepatitis (It might be worth reflecting how close Teer was to dying at this point - a slightly different outcome could have prevented all of Christory a century before it began). After the capture of Texas Army's supply wagons by the US Army, they retreated, leaving William and other recovering soldiers at the {{w|Santa Fe, New Mexico|Santa Fe}} hospital before shortly being captured. He was later paroled in May 1862, returning to San Antonio. Due to his injuries and disability, he was honorably discharged from his unit by General {{w|Thomas Green (general)|Thomas Green}} in September 1863 and returned to his home in Cumby, working as a farmer despite his shattered right arm.

William was married four times throughout his life. In December 1862, he married Mary Frances Carraway of Alabama, who passed away in 1867. He then remarried Louisa Frances Spears of Tennesse, in 1868, but that marriage also ended early. In January 1871, he married Nancy Jane Coburn of {{w|Ashley County, Arkansas}}. From this marriage, he had seven children, including Mary Francis Teer, Bob's maternal grandmother and the wife of John James Hollomon. After Nancy's death in 1894, William remarried to Bettie King of {{w|Mount Pleasant, Texas|Mount Pleasant}} in March 1907 at age 70, and this marriage lasted until his death in 1919.

In November 1903, inspired by the nerve damage in his shattered right arm, William established himself as an {{w|osteopath}} doctor in {{w|Tyler, Texas}}, specializing in "Exophthalmic Goitre, Biliary Calculi (Gall Stones) Paralysis, and all Nervous Diseases." He became the president of the State Association of Drugless Doctors of Texas and advocated massaging and other holistic approaches to wellness. As a doctor in Tyler, he was described as a highly respected figure, endorsed by many prominent members of the city's society. After retiring, he resided at the Texas Confederate Home in Austin before moving back to Cumby in 1918, where he later passed away in October 1919 at his youngest daughter's {{w|Miller Grove, Texas|Miller Grove}} home caused by a second paralyzing stroke.

William was mentioned in a book titled "[https://archive.org/details/texanswhoworegra00john| Texans who Wore the Gray (1907)]", written by a Confederate officer, journalist, and author Sidney Smith Johnson (1840-1910). Johnson described William as "a brave Confederate soldier, a man of fine education, and a Christian gentleman."

=== Garnder E. Shearin ===
'''Garnder E. Shearin'''' (1836/1837 - 28 January 1901)<ref>https://digital.ncdcr.gov/Documents/Detail/shearin-gardner-e.-warren-county/1671784</ref><ref>https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-warren-record-gardner-early-shearin/521312/</ref> was a Confederate veteran from North Carolina. He married Martha in 1859. In May 1861, he enlisted in the Confederate army in Warren County, North Carolina, fighting in company B of North Carolina's 30th infantry regiment remaining in service until the end of the war in 1865.

An obituary to him reads: "I was not with him in the army but learned from others, that he was a faithful soldier. My association with him since the war enables me to say I never knew a kinder hearted or monre congenial natured man. Always ready to serve a friend."

He is ancestor of Chris via Barb's side of his ancestry.

=== William Drury Thompson ===
'''William Drury Thompson''' (1814 - 17 May 1862) was a civil war enlistee from North Carolina, although it's unknown which side of the military force, (although there's a record suggesting he's a Confederate enlistee for North Carolina's Infantry 12th Regiment), died during his basic training in Richmond, Virginia due to illnesses, 2 months after enlisting.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/262604729/william-drury-thompson</ref>

He is Chris' great-great-great-grandfather. More specifically, he is the paternal grandfather of the maternal grandmother of Barbara.

=== Rufus Walker ===

'''Rufus Walker''' (1820-1895) was a Confederate soldier who served in Company H and came from Milton, Alabama, located in Autauga County. He became a prisoner of war after being surrendered by Lieutenant General Richard Taylor to Major E.R.S. Canby on May 4, 1865. Rufus was later paroled in Selma in June 1865.<ref>https://38thalabama.com/ndashv-to-zndash.html</ref>

He is Chris' great-great-great-grandfather, with the lineage as follows: Rufus Walker (1820-1895) > Mary Elizabeth Walker (1840-1887) > Joseph Chandler (1871-1947) > Robert F. Chandler Sr. (1906-1977) > Robert ("[[Bob]]") F. Chandler Jr. (1927-2011) > Chris

==Ancestry.com content==
In [[January 2017]], a distant relative of Chris posted images to Kiwi Farms, on various documents relating to the Chandler family, acquired from Ancestry.com<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/interesting-info-about-chriss-family-particularly-their-parents.27521/</ref>

{{quotebox|Bob is apparently an only child, however Barbara has five deceased siblings and several more living ones.}}
{{quotebox|Most of Chris's ancestors were [[RandomSong1|farmers]], doing tasks that Chris would find back breaking.}}
{{quotebox|Chris, from what I gathered, is not 1/16 Cherokian. He is however 1/16 British and 1/8 French Canadian.}}
{{quotebox|His great great grandparent's from Northern Ireland.}}
The "Northern Irish" ancestor was Chris's great-great-grandmother Mary Weston (née McClintic, 31 Oct 1834 - 25 Dec 1910). Mary was born in the town of {{w|Omagh}} (whose name means "the [[Virgin with Rage|virgin]] plain" in Gaelic) in County [[niggos|Tyrone]], in what is today {{w|Northern Ireland}}. She came to the United States between 1840 and 1850, likely as a result of the {{w|Irish Potato Famine}}.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/22502739/joseph-mcclintock</ref> She settled in Augusta, Ohio, where she married Joseph "John" Edward Weston, Chris's great-great-grandfather, in 1858, who was also from Augusta. Both later settled in {{w|Clarksville, Virginia}}.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/24279732/mary-weston</ref>

The "French Canadian" ancestor was Chris's great-grandmother Sarah Ann Weston (née {{w|Clan Hamilton|Hamilton}}, Apr 1867 - 25 Jan 1938), who was born in [[wikipedia:Huntingdon, Quebec|Huntingdon]], {{w|Quebec}} and came to Virginia with her family during the 1870s, settling near Red Oak.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/35318370/sarah-jane-weston</ref><ref>https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/6823228286:62476</ref> Although the majority of Quebeckers speak French, her surname and the fact that she was born in a predominantly English-speaking part of Quebec suggest that she belonged to the province's English-speaking minority. Moreover, her paternal and maternal grandparents were all born in [[Tito Got No Luck Against We Brits, Irish and Scots!|Scotland]], making her of entirely Scottish descent.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/249266361/jane-hamilton</ref><ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/249027191/daniel-hamilton</ref> Sarah is Chris's most recent immigrant ancestor.

[[File:Chrisfamilytree.png|thumb|Chris' family tree up to his great-great-grandparents|600x600px]]
Chris's ideas about his ancestry and lineage unsurprisingly differ greatly from what is known to be true.

Family members who live(d) after Chris was born can be found at [[Minor Family Members]].

== Notable ancestors ==
This section lists Chris' ancestors in chronological order from most to least recent death. Ancestors who fought for the Confederate States of America are listed separately, in the "Dixiechu" section.

=== Robert Wynn ===
Barbara's maternal grandfather '''Robert Pettus Wynn''' (17 Nov 1882 - 20 Jan 1954) was allegedly a two-timing [[Alcohol|drunk]] and moonshiner who "failed to provide even the most basic support for his wife and children".<ref>http://www.harveypowers.com/genealogy/roots/individual.html#118</ref> In his death certificate, his profession is given as [[tobacco]] farmer.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/238604751/robert-pettis-wynn</ref>

=== John James Hollomon ===
[[File:John James Hollomon.jpg|thumb|right|150px|John James Hollomon in 1910]]
Bob's maternal grandfather '''John James Hollomon''' (3 May 1868 - 16 Mar 1950) <ref>[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/10638068/john-james-hollomon]</ref> was born in {{w|Meigs County, Tennessee}} but lived most of his later life in {{w|Wylie, Texas}}, a city and suburb in {{w|Collin County, Texas|Collin County}} and {{w|Dallas}} respectively. He was a well-known local pharmacist in the Collin county for over 50 years. He married twice in his life, first to Mary Francis Hollomon (née Teer 10th March 1872 - 3 Jul 1914), the daughter of a doctor specializing in osteopathic, whom he had 4 children including Jean Hollomon, Bob's mother. In 1915 he married Helen E. Hollomon (née Nelms 10 Apr 1893 - 29 Oct 1972) with whom he had 3 more children including Bob's half uncle Dr. John James "JJ" Hollomon Jr (1917-1992). Bob reminisces that Hollomon gave him a straight razor "by means of [Hollomon's] last will and testament," and Bob instead broke it while using it as a screwdriver, which he later held onto this regret for decades well into his 60s because he believed Hollomon wanted him to have it as a personal item and value.

Notable enough, his father was an Esquire John Richmond Hollomon (1831 - 1899), a lawyer and attorney in the Meigs County area.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/70362078/susanna-brady#:~:text=of%20her%20son%2C-,J.R.%20Hollomon%20Esq.,-of%20this%20county</ref> More notable enough, his grandfather Pleasant Hollomon (1803 - 1865), served in the {{w|Tennessee House of Representatives}} in the Meigs and {{w|Rhea County, Tennessee|Rhea}} counties from 1849 to 1851. A democrat, he was a constable of the 5th Civil district of Meigs county in 1836-1839, was a deputy sheriff of Meigs in early 1840s and a deputy and tax collector in 1845.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/70361465/pleasant-hollomon</ref>

===Rev. Sidney Smith Chandler===
'''The Reverend Sidney Smith Chandler''' (1805 - September 1866) was a Baptist minister and clergyman in Alabama, he is Chris's great-great-great grandfather along his paternal line. Born in Georgia, his father died in 1816 when he was 11. he moved to Alabama in 1829 and became a Primitive Baptist Clergyman and Minster in Autauga County. He also was a slaveowner owning one female slave in the 1850 slave census

He later married Mary Lucinda Walker and later fathered 12 children including Joseph and his brother Edmund, He died in September of 1866 just shortly after the end of the American Civil War. Two of his sons. James (1830-1862) and Edmund (1835-1865) would die fighting in the Civil War.

===Francis Weston===
'''Francis Weston Sr.''' (Feb 1793 - 19 March 1838) was an English-born immigrant to the United States and a frontiersmen. He is Barbara's great-great-grandfather along her paternal line, making him Chris's maternal great-great-great-grandfather.

Born in {{w|Derbyshire}}, he had immigrated to [[Ohio]] by 1820 and married at {{w|Wheeling, West Virginia}} a year later to Grace Moore, an English-born American, whose parents were also an immigrants from Derbyshire. They had six out of seven children survived, the second oldest being Mary Ann Weston in 1825 and the youngest Joseph Edward "John" Weston in July 1836,<ref>[https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-6Q23-PTF?i=2&cc=1401638&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AMXSB-9Q8 Joseph (listed as Edward Weston) with his three older siblings and mother Gracy in 1850 census)]</ref><ref>[https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-9BS6-DF?i=8&cc=1473181&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AMCPH-V55 Gracy Weston (Joseph's mother) in 1860 census with her son Francis]</ref> all in {{w|Augusta Township, Carroll County, Ohio|Augusta Township}}. Through Joseph, Francis's surname would be carried on to [[Barbara]], which, in turn, would serve as the basis for [[Chris|our hero]]'s middle name.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/118642485/francis-weston</ref>

According to newspapers, After immigrating to Augusta Township, Francis, a frontiersmen, built a homestead house of his and his family in a wilderness place with 2 other families surrounded by wild animals and forest. The homestead house was a shanty with puncheon floor and chimney made with sticks and clay. They mentioned about the one occasion Francis was chased by wolves in a forest when coming home from buying fresh meats. Francis would pass away at age 45 in March 1838, 2 years after his youngest son Joseph was born.

In a later pseudo-historical account of events by Barbara and Chris, Francis is replaced by a certain [[Daniel Weston]]. Unlike the historical Francis Weston, ''Daniel'' Weston travelled to North America in 1620 (a whole 2 centuries earlier than Francis), and has the honor of being of a descendant of [[Anne Boleyn]] (whose {{w|Elizabeth I|only daughter}} died childless).

Francis' son, Francis Weston Jr, according to newspapers, was a "popular" and successful businessman and general merchant, owning iron and furnace company, and many other successful companies at Ohio, West Virginia and Missouri with a college education to his name. Through his daughter Jane, Francis Sr is the grandfather of {{w|Pierce County, Washington}}'s Superior Court judge & attorney William Oscar Chapman, who at the time of admitting to {{w|Ohio State Bar Association|Ohio bar}}, was in the same group of applicants with a later president of the United States {{w|William Howard Taft}}.

=== Captain Joseph Looney ===
Joseph Lewellyn Looney (abt.1740-1816) fought in the American Revolutionary War. He was present in the {{w|Battle of Guilford Court House}}.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Looney-149</ref>

=== Polly Bowman ===
{{main|Ancient leader of the Cherokee Clan}}
Chris has at least one [[Cherokee]] ancestor, about whom he absolutely knows nothing. The ancestor was introduced in ''[[Sonichu 2|Sonichu #2]]'', which was completed on 3 May 2005. The ancestor was long assumed to be nonexistent, but on 16 January 2025 - 19 years and 8 months later - the ancestor was discovered to be real by CWCki editor [[User:Cilria2|Cilria2]]. '''Polly Bowman "Cherokee Mother" Cherokee''' (abt 1703 to 1790) is Chris's 7th great-grandmother.

=== John Chandler and Elizabeth Lupo ===
Although there is no evidence that his mother's ancestors were on board the ''Mayflower'', Chris's paternal ancestors were among the first settlers of his home state of Virginia. Chris's direct male ancestor '''John Chandler''' (c. 1600-1657), a native of London, was an early settler of {{w|Jamestown, Virginia|Jamestown}}, [[Virginia]], arriving in 1610 with a boat ''Hercules'', ten years before the ''Mayflower''.<ref>https://www.geni.com/people/John-Chandler-l/6000000008639070482</ref> John married the widow '''Elizabeth Lupo''' (née '''Bassano'''), a member of the illustrious {{w|Jeronimo Bassano|Bassano family}} of [[music|musicians]] who had been recruited from Venice by {{w|King Henry VIII}} to serve in his court (some have claimed that the Bassanos were of [[Jewish]] origin, but the jury is out). The Chandler family migrated southwest over the generations, passing through North Carolina and Georgia before settling in Alabama, Bob's home state.

John Chandler is the fifth great-grandfather of the Dixiechu Joseph Chandler, and the ninth great-grandfather of Chris.

===Richard Baker===
{{w|Richard Baker (chronicler)|Richard Baker}} (c. 1568 – 18 February 1645) was a politician, historian and religious writer. He was the English author of the ''Chronicle of the Kings of England'' and other works.

He is the 12th great-grandfather of Chris on Bob's mother side.

===Edward, Thomas Palmer & Thomas Overbury===
Thanks to John Chandler's grandson's wife Elizabeth Palmer, Chris's 7th great-grandmother, some Christorians did research about her ancestors. Chris has three known ancestors, two of which are Chris descendent of, and other is distantly related.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-2791</ref><ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-533</ref><ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-229</ref>

Chris is a descendant of his 10th great-grandfather '''{{w|Edward Palmer (d.1624)|Edward Palmer}}''' (c. 1555–1624) from {{w|Gloucestershire}}, England, a gentleman with antiquarian interests who was known for his [[Stamps|extensive collections]] such as Roman coins and is best remembered for purchasing the then unnamed {{w|Garrett Island}} in colony of Virginia (now Maryland) for his plan of establishing university at the island.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-544</ref>

Edward had a son whom Chris is also descendant from. '''{{w|Thomas Palmer (burgess)|Thomas Palmer}}''' settled at Jamestown, Virginia on a boat ''Tyger'' with his wife Joan Jordan and 11 years old daughter Priscilla in November 1621. Shortly after their arrival at Jamestown, the Palmers were nearly killed by the [[Cherokian Clan|Powhatans]] during the {{w|Indian massacre of 1622}}, but survived by living in {{w|Jordan Point, Virginia#Jordan's Journey: Beggars Bush|Jordan's Journey}} shelter residence. Thomas was a captain in command of a company of militia from {{w|Eppes Island|Shirley Hundred Island}} and was a member of {{w|House of Burgesses}} at Jamestown on October 16, 1629.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-229</ref>

Perhaps notably, Thomas was a first cousin of [[Chris_and_writing#Chris_as_a_poet_and_lyricist|poet]] and [[Chris_and_writing#Chris_as_an_essayist|essayist]] '''{{w|Thomas Overbury}}''' through his father's sister Mary Palmer and her husband {{w|Nicholas Overbury}}. Overbury was known for his poem, ''A Wife'', and a victim of murder by poisoning which led to a scandalous trial.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Overbury-10</ref>

=== Sir James Croft ===
Sir {{w|James Croft}} (1518- 4 September 1590) was English politician, who was Lord Deputy of Ireland, and MP for Herefordshire in the Parliament of England, He is Chris 12th great-grandfather on his paternal side.

=== Hugh and Isabel Bardolf ===
[[Image:Chris Anne Boleyn.png|thumb|How Chris is related to Anne Boleyn.]]
'''Hugh Bardolf''' (c. 29 September 1259 - c. 20 September 1304) <ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bardolf-9</ref> and '''Isabel Bardolf''' (born '''Isabel Aguillon'''; c. 25 March 1258 - c. 28 May 1323) <ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Aguillon-5</ref>, Chris' 19th great-grandparents, were a medieval English couple who married in 1281. According to a Redditor's Wikitree research in 2022, they are Chris' most recent shared ancestors with [[Anne Boleyn]] (albeit on his father's side, not his mother's): they gave birth to Thomas (Boleyn's 6th great-grandfather) in 1282, Margery around 1283, William in 1284, and Nicola (Chris' 18th great-grandmother) around 1294. This means that, although Chris is not ''descended'' from Anne Boleyn, he is indeed a distant relative. This is hardly surprising, as all humans are relatives of each other of varying distance.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/ChrisChanSonichu/comments/tedhwz/barb_may_not_have_been_related_to_anne_boleyn_but/</ref><ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Aguillon-5</ref>

In addition to being the source of Chris's distant connection with Anne Boleyn, Hugh Bardolf was the first nobleman of {{w|Baron Bardolf}}, a noble title in the {{w|Peerage of England}}. His wife Isabel was a member of the {{w|Aguillon family}} (of French origin), who were feudal landowners in England. Isabel's father, Sir Robert Aguillon (c. 1226 - 15 February 1286)<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Aguillon-4</ref>, was a Sheriff of Surrey & Sussex County and a keeper of two castles in both counties.

Hugh Bardolf's descendants unite with those of John Chandler (b. 1600) in 1700, when Robert Chandler (John's grandson, 1659 - c. 1720) and his wife Elizabeth Palmer (Hugh's 10th great-granddaughter, b. 1664) give birth to Joseph Chandler (11 Aug 1700 - 11 Oct 1764), Chris' 6th great-grandparent, in {{w|New Kent, Virginia}}.

A stark contrast can be observed in the fact that Hugh's first child is the ancestor of prestigious nobility (namely an Anne Boleyn and actual queen of England, Elizabeth I), while Hugh's fourth and last child is the ancestor of our infamous protagonist.

== Dixiechus ==
"'''Dixiechus'''" is a nickname used by Christorians to describe ancestors of Chris who fought for the {{w|Confederate States of America}} during the {{w|American Civil War}}. It is a portmanteau of ''{{w|Dixie}}'' and ''[[Sonichu]]''. The first Dixiechu to be identified was Joseph Chandler, discovered by Kiwifarms user Meat Pickle on 20 December 2021. The term "Dixiechu" was proposed on the [[Official CWCki Server]] on 24 April 2024, by which point four Dixiechus had been identified.

During the [[Jail Saga]], Chris was asked if he may have had ancestors who fought for the Confederacy, at a time when Joseph Chandler (on his father's side) was the only known Dixiechu. In [[Jail Letter - 25 May 2022]], he denied that his father's ancestors had fought for the Confederacy, but conceded that his mother's ancestors may have done so. In 2024, Christorians discovered William Drury Thompson - a Dixiechu on the maternal side of Chris' ancestry - partially vindicating Chris' statement.

In chronological order from most to least recent death, the Dixiechus include:

=== Joseph Chandler ===
[[File:Joseph chandler.png|thumb|right|150px|Joseph Chandler in 1911]]
'''Joseph Chandler''' (14 April 1832 - January 1925) of {{w|Autauga County, Alabama}} is Chris's great-great-grandfather along his paternal line. Joseph Chandler enlisted in the Confederate Army as a private in May 1862. Serving in the unit {{w|38th Alabama Infantry Regiment}} at {{w|Fort Gaines, Alabama|Fort Gaines}}, he fought in the {{w|Battle of Mobile Bay}} before being paroled in April 1865 after the conclusion of the war and was later discharged in August of that year due to broken shoulder.<ref>[https://kiwifarms.net/threads/random-thoughts-questions.49854/page-1487#post-10736839 A Kiwi Farms post with a record of Joseph Chandler]</ref><ref>https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/search-soldiers-detail.htm?soldierId=0AA5818C-DC7A-DF11-BF36-B8AC6F5D926A</ref> Joseph's professions after the war were farmer, shoe maker and largely a herb doctor.<ref>http://alagenealogy.com/Patriarchs/Chandler,%20Sidney%20Smith.htm#JOSEPH%20H.2%20CHANDLER</ref>

Joseph also had a younger brother Edmund (1835 - 1865, Chris's great-great-granduncle), who also fought for the Confederacy at [https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Camp_of_Instruction,_Talladega,_Alabama#:~:text=Talladega%20was%20one%20of%20two,would%20be%20obliged%20to%20enroll.| Camp of Instruction, Talladega, Alabama], died as a result during the war in 1865.<ref>https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/search-soldiers-detail.htm?soldierId=C3A5818C-DC7A-DF11-BF36-B8AC6F5D926A</ref> Joseph's two younger sons John (1876 - 1932) and Rufus (1880 - 1932), both were killed on March 21, 1932 in {{w|Chilton County, Alabama|Chilton County area}}, from the {{w|1932 Deep South tornado outbreak}}.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/106731994/john-tyler_morgan-chandler</ref><ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26986157/rufus-sidney-chandler</ref>

=== Caleb Nelson Headley ===
[[File:CalebHeadley.png|thumb|right|150px|Caleb Headley]]

'''Caleb Nelson Headley''' (1847-1921) was born on the 8th of March 1845 (1846 or 1847 depending on which source) in Darlington County, South Carolina as the only son of Wills Headley and Rebecca Bell, Caleb's father Wills died when he was just 7 years old in 1854, and he was soon taken into the custody of James Huckabee (who would later become his stepfather), who taught the boy farming until he was 21 years old.

In 1863 when he was just 18 years old, he enlisted in the Confederate Army as part of the 63rd Alabama Regiment, Company H (They were also known as Second Alabama Reserve), he took part in fighting in Spanish Fort (he was wounded) and was discharged at his home (he was on furlough at the time) in May of 1865.

Shortly after the end of the war, he settled in Coosa County Alabama, in 1874 he married Caroline Louisa Estes when he was 28 and she was 24 at her father's house in Talladega, Alabama, He would have 8 children from 1874 to 1892 including Martha Headley (Bob's paternal grandmother), Caleb was a farmer for most of his life, in 1898 he attempted to run for a political seat in Alabama State Assembly as a Representative for Chilton County as independent but withdraw and then backed the Populist ticket for that seat.

Caleb would see his health worsen in his later years, he became nearly blind by his late 60s and by 1920 was living with his son Robert E. L Headley. He died on August 21st, 1921 in Shelby County, Alabama at age of 76.

=== William Teer ===
[[File:Willam Teer.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Image of William Teer. (Very likely to be authentic) <ref>This image was uploaded to findagrave in 2016; William Teer was not known to Christorians to be Chris' ancestor in 2016. Family trees from both 2017[https://sonichu.com/cwcki/File:Chris%27s_family_tree_up_to_his_great_great_grandparents.png] and 2019[https://imgur.com/gallery/0BgQLyH] omit the ancestry of Bob's maternal grandmother. Furthermore, his biography on rootsweb uses a similar image.[https://freepages.rootsweb.com/~dougmay/genealogy/Wmteer.htm]</ref>]]
Bob's matrilineal great-grandfather, '''Dr. William Teer''' (March 29, 1837 - October 19, 1919), was born in {{w|Neshoba County, Mississippi}}, and grew up in {{w|Angelina County, Texas}} since he was 10 years old with his seven siblings. The family later relocated to {{w|Hopkins County, Texas|Hopkins County}} outside {{w|Cumby, Texas|Cumby}} in 1860, where he worked as a farmer before enlisting in the army for the Civil War.

In October 1861, aged 24, William and his two brothers James (1830 - 1863) and Wiley (1839 - 1862), enlisted in the Confederate Army in San Antonio. Serving in the 4th Texas Cavalry Regiment, William participated in the {{w|New Mexico campaign}} under {{w|Henry Hopkins Sibley|General Sibley}}. Both of his brothers died during the war; James died at a Union prison camp in Williamsburg, Virginia, in 1863. William and Wiley fought in the battles of {{w|Battle of Valverde|Valverde}} and later to {{w|Battle of Glorietta Pass|Glorietta Pass}}, where in April 1862, Wiley was reportedly "lost or killed" and William suffered serious injuries, including a shattered right arm, a damaged spleen, and later contracting hepatitis (It might be worth reflecting how close Teer was to dying at this point - a slightly different outcome could have prevented all of Christory a century before it began). After the capture of Texas Army's supply wagons by the US Army, they retreated, leaving William and other recovering soldiers at the {{w|Santa Fe, New Mexico|Santa Fe}} hospital before shortly being captured. He was later paroled in May 1862, returning to San Antonio. Due to his injuries and disability, he was honorably discharged from his unit by General {{w|Thomas Green (general)|Thomas Green}} in September 1863 and returned to his home in Cumby, working as a farmer despite his shattered right arm.

William was married four times throughout his life. In December 1862, he married Mary Frances Carraway of Alabama, who passed away in 1867. He then remarried Louisa Frances Spears of Tennesse, in 1868, but that marriage also ended early. In January 1871, he married Nancy Jane Coburn of {{w|Ashley County, Arkansas}}. From this marriage, he had seven children, including Mary Francis Teer, Bob's maternal grandmother and the wife of John James Hollomon. After Nancy's death in 1894, William remarried to Bettie King of {{w|Mount Pleasant, Texas|Mount Pleasant}} in March 1907 at age 70, and this marriage lasted until his death in 1919.

In November 1903, inspired by the nerve damage in his shattered right arm, William established himself as an {{w|osteopath}} doctor in {{w|Tyler, Texas}}, specializing in "Exophthalmic Goitre, Biliary Calculi (Gall Stones) Paralysis, and all Nervous Diseases." He became the president of the State Association of Drugless Doctors of Texas and advocated massaging and other holistic approaches to wellness. As a doctor in Tyler, he was described as a highly respected figure, endorsed by many prominent members of the city's society. After retiring, he resided at the Texas Confederate Home in Austin before moving back to Cumby in 1918, where he later passed away in October 1919 at his youngest daughter's {{w|Miller Grove, Texas|Miller Grove}} home caused by a second paralyzing stroke.

William was mentioned in a book titled "[https://archive.org/details/texanswhoworegra00john| Texans who Wore the Gray (1907)]", written by a Confederate officer, journalist, and author Sidney Smith Johnson (1840-1910). Johnson described William as "a brave Confederate soldier, a man of fine education, and a Christian gentleman."

=== Garnder E. Shearin ===
'''Garnder E. Shearin'''' (1836/1837 - 28 January 1901)<ref>https://digital.ncdcr.gov/Documents/Detail/shearin-gardner-e.-warren-county/1671784</ref><ref>https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-warren-record-gardner-early-shearin/521312/</ref> was a Confederate veteran from North Carolina. He married Martha in 1859. In May 1861, he enlisted in the Confederate army in Warren County, North Carolina, fighting in company B of North Carolina's 30th infantry regiment remaining in service until the end of the war in 1865.

An obituary to him reads: "I was not with him in the army but learned from others, that he was a faithful soldier. My association with him since the war enables me to say I never knew a kinder hearted or monre congenial natured man. Always ready to serve a friend."

He is ancestor of Chris via Barb's side of his ancestry.

=== William Drury Thompson ===
'''William Drury Thompson''' (1814 - 17 May 1862) was a civil war enlistee from North Carolina, although it's unknown which side of the military force, (although there's a record suggesting he's a Confederate enlistee for North Carolina's Infantry 12th Regiment), died during his basic training in Richmond, Virginia due to illnesses, 2 months after enlisting.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/262604729/william-drury-thompson</ref>

He is Chris' great-great-great-grandfather. More specifically, he is the paternal grandfather of the maternal grandmother of Barbara.

=== Rufus Walker ===

'''Rufus Walker''' (1820-1895) was a Confederate soldier who served in Company H and came from Milton, Alabama, located in Autauga County. He became a prisoner of war after being surrendered by Lieutenant General Richard Taylor to Major E.R.S. Canby on May 4, 1865. Rufus was later paroled in Selma in June 1865.<ref>https://38thalabama.com/ndashv-to-zndash.html</ref>

He is Chris' great-great-great-grandfather, with the lineage as follows: Rufus Walker (1820-1895) > Mary Elizabeth Walker (1840-1887) > Joseph Chandler (1871-1947) > Robert F. Chandler Sr. (1906-1977) > Robert ("[[Bob]]") F. Chandler Jr. (1927-2011) > Chris

==Ancestry.com content==
In [[January 2017]], a distant relative of Chris posted images to Kiwi Farms, on various documents relating to the Chandler family, acquired from Ancestry.com<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/interesting-info-about-chriss-family-particularly-their-parents.27521/</ref>

{{quotebox|Bob is apparently an only child, however Barbara has five deceased siblings and several more living ones.}}
{{quotebox|Most of Chris's ancestors were [[RandomSong1|farmers]], doing tasks that Chris would find back breaking.}}
{{quotebox|Chris, from what I gathered, is not 1/16 Cherokian. He is however 1/16 British and 1/8 French Canadian.}}
{{quotebox|His great great grandparent's from Northern Ireland.}}
The "Northern Irish" ancestor was Chris's great-great-grandmother Mary Weston (née McClintic, 31 Oct 1834 - 25 Dec 1910). Mary was born in the town of {{w|Omagh}} (whose name means "the [[Virgin with Rage|virgin]] plain" in Gaelic) in County [[niggos|Tyrone]], in what is today {{w|Northern Ireland}}. She came to the United States between 1840 and 1850, likely as a result of the {{w|Irish Potato Famine}}.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/22502739/joseph-mcclintock</ref> She settled in Augusta, Ohio, where she married Joseph "John" Edward Weston, Chris's great-great-grandfather, in 1858, who was also from Augusta. Both later settled in {{w|Clarksville, Virginia}}.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/24279732/mary-weston</ref>

The "French Canadian" ancestor was Chris's great-grandmother Sarah Ann Weston (née {{w|Clan Hamilton|Hamilton}}, Apr 1867 - 25 Jan 1938), who was born in [[wikipedia:Huntingdon, Quebec|Huntingdon]], {{w|Quebec}} and came to Virginia with her family during the 1870s, settling near Red Oak.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/35318370/sarah-jane-weston</ref><ref>https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/6823228286:62476</ref> Although the majority of Quebeckers speak French, her surname and the fact that she was born in a predominantly English-speaking part of Quebec suggest that she belonged to the province's English-speaking minority. Moreover, her paternal and maternal grandparents were all born in [[Tito Got No Luck Against We Brits, Irish and Scots!|Scotland]], making her of entirely Scottish descent.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/249266361/jane-hamilton</ref><ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/249027191/daniel-hamilton</ref> Sarah is Chris's most recent immigrant ancestor.

== Notable ancestors ==
This section lists Chris' ancestors in chronological order from most to least recent death. Ancestors who fought for the Confederate States of America are listed separately, in the "Dixiechu" section.

=== Robert Wynn ===
Barbara's maternal grandfather '''Robert Pettus Wynn''' (17 Nov 1882 - 20 Jan 1954) was allegedly a two-timing [[Alcohol|drunk]] and moonshiner who "failed to provide even the most basic support for his wife and children".<ref>http://www.harveypowers.com/genealogy/roots/individual.html#118</ref> In his death certificate, his profession is given as [[tobacco]] farmer.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/238604751/robert-pettis-wynn</ref>

=== John James Hollomon ===
[[File:John James Hollomon.jpg|thumb|right|150px|John James Hollomon in 1910]]
Bob's maternal grandfather '''John James Hollomon''' (3 May 1868 - 16 Mar 1950) <ref>[https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/10638068/john-james-hollomon]</ref> was born in {{w|Meigs County, Tennessee}} but lived most of his later life in {{w|Wylie, Texas}}, a city and suburb in {{w|Collin County, Texas|Collin County}} and {{w|Dallas}} respectively. He was a well-known local pharmacist in the Collin county for over 50 years. He married twice in his life, first to Mary Francis Hollomon (née Teer 10th March 1872 - 3 Jul 1914), the daughter of a doctor specializing in osteopathic, whom he had 4 children including Jean Hollomon, Bob's mother. In 1915 he married Helen E. Hollomon (née Nelms 10 Apr 1893 - 29 Oct 1972) with whom he had 3 more children including Bob's half uncle Dr. John James "JJ" Hollomon Jr (1917-1992). Bob reminisces that Hollomon gave him a straight razor "by means of [Hollomon's] last will and testament," and Bob instead broke it while using it as a screwdriver, which he later held onto this regret for decades well into his 60s because he believed Hollomon wanted him to have it as a personal item and value.

Notable enough, his father was an Esquire John Richmond Hollomon (1831 - 1899), a lawyer and attorney in the Meigs County area.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/70362078/susanna-brady#:~:text=of%20her%20son%2C-,J.R.%20Hollomon%20Esq.,-of%20this%20county</ref> More notable enough, his grandfather Pleasant Hollomon (1803 - 1865), served in the {{w|Tennessee House of Representatives}} in the Meigs and {{w|Rhea County, Tennessee|Rhea}} counties from 1849 to 1851. A democrat, he was a constable of the 5th Civil district of Meigs county in 1836-1839, was a deputy sheriff of Meigs in early 1840s and a deputy and tax collector in 1845.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/70361465/pleasant-hollomon</ref>

===Rev. Sidney Smith Chandler===
'''The Reverend Sidney Smith Chandler''' (1805 - September 1866) was a Baptist minister and clergyman in Alabama, he is Chris's great-great-great grandfather along his paternal line. Born in Georgia, his father died in 1816 when he was 11. he moved to Alabama in 1829 and became a Primitive Baptist Clergyman and Minster in Autauga County. He also was a slaveowner owning one female slave in the 1850 slave census

He later married Mary Lucinda Walker and later fathered 12 children including Joseph and his brother Edmund, He died in September of 1866 just shortly after the end of the American Civil War. Two of his sons. James (1830-1862) and Edmund (1835-1865) would die fighting in the Civil War.

===Francis Weston===
'''Francis Weston Sr.''' (Feb 1793 - 19 March 1838) was an English-born immigrant to the United States and a frontiersmen. He is Barbara's great-great-grandfather along her paternal line, making him Chris's maternal great-great-great-grandfather.

Born in {{w|Derbyshire}}, he had immigrated to [[Ohio]] by 1820 and married at {{w|Wheeling, West Virginia}} a year later to Grace Moore, an English-born American, whose parents were also an immigrants from Derbyshire. They had six out of seven children survived, the second oldest being Mary Ann Weston in 1825 and the youngest Joseph Edward "John" Weston in July 1836,<ref>[https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-6Q23-PTF?i=2&cc=1401638&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AMXSB-9Q8 Joseph (listed as Edward Weston) with his three older siblings and mother Gracy in 1850 census)]</ref><ref>[https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-9BS6-DF?i=8&cc=1473181&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AMCPH-V55 Gracy Weston (Joseph's mother) in 1860 census with her son Francis]</ref> all in {{w|Augusta Township, Carroll County, Ohio|Augusta Township}}. Through Joseph, Francis's surname would be carried on to [[Barbara]], which, in turn, would serve as the basis for [[Chris|our hero]]'s middle name.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/118642485/francis-weston</ref>

According to newspapers, After immigrating to Augusta Township, Francis, a frontiersmen, built a homestead house of his and his family in a wilderness place with 2 other families surrounded by wild animals and forest. The homestead house was a shanty with puncheon floor and chimney made with sticks and clay. They mentioned about the one occasion Francis was chased by wolves in a forest when coming home from buying fresh meats. Francis would pass away at age 45 in March 1838, 2 years after his youngest son Joseph was born.

In a later pseudo-historical account of events by Barbara and Chris, Francis is replaced by a certain [[Daniel Weston]]. Unlike the historical Francis Weston, ''Daniel'' Weston travelled to North America in 1620 (a whole 2 centuries earlier than Francis), and has the honor of being of a descendant of [[Anne Boleyn]] (whose {{w|Elizabeth I|only daughter}} died childless).

Francis' son, Francis Weston Jr, according to newspapers, was a "popular" and successful businessman and general merchant, owning iron and furnace company, and many other successful companies at Ohio, West Virginia and Missouri with a college education to his name. Through his daughter Jane, Francis Sr is the grandfather of {{w|Pierce County, Washington}}'s Superior Court judge & attorney William Oscar Chapman, who at the time of admitting to {{w|Ohio State Bar Association|Ohio bar}}, was in the same group of applicants with a later president of the United States {{w|William Howard Taft}}.

=== Captain Joseph Looney ===
Joseph Lewellyn Looney (abt.1740-1816) fought in the American Revolutionary War. He was present in the {{w|Battle of Guilford Court House}}.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Looney-149</ref>

=== Polly Bowman ===
{{main|Ancient leader of the Cherokee Clan}}
Chris has at least one Cherokee ancestor, about whom he absolutely knows nothing. The ancestor was introduced in ''[[Sonichu 2|Sonichu #2]]'', which was completed on 3 May 2005. The ancestor was long assumed to be nonexistent, but on 16 January 2025 - 19 years and 8 months later - the ancestor was discovered to be real by CWCki editor [[User:Cilria2|Cilria2]]. '''Polly Bowman "Cherokee Mother" Cherokee''' (abt 1703 to 1790) is Chris's 7th great-grandmother.

=== John Chandler and Elizabeth Lupo ===
Although there is no evidence that his mother's ancestors were on board the ''Mayflower'', Chris's paternal ancestors were among the first settlers of his home state of Virginia. Chris's direct male ancestor '''John Chandler''' (c. 1600-1657), a native of London, was an early settler of {{w|Jamestown, Virginia|Jamestown}}, [[Virginia]], arriving in 1610 with a boat ''Hercules'', ten years before the ''Mayflower''.<ref>https://www.geni.com/people/John-Chandler-l/6000000008639070482</ref> John married the widow '''Elizabeth Lupo''' (née '''Bassano'''), a member of the illustrious {{w|Jeronimo Bassano|Bassano family}} of [[music|musicians]] who had been recruited from Venice by {{w|King Henry VIII}} to serve in his court (some have claimed that the Bassanos were of [[Jewish]] origin, but the jury is out). The Chandler family migrated southwest over the generations, passing through North Carolina and Georgia before settling in Alabama, Bob's home state.

John Chandler is the fifth great-grandfather of the Dixiechu Joseph Chandler, and the ninth great-grandfather of Chris.

===Richard Baker===
{{w|Richard Baker (chronicler)|Richard Baker}} (c. 1568 – 18 February 1645) was a politician, historian and religious writer. He was the English author of the ''Chronicle of the Kings of England'' and other works.

He is the 12th great-grandfather of Chris on Bob's mother side.

===Edward, Thomas Palmer & Thomas Overbury===
Thanks to John Chandler's grandson's wife Elizabeth Palmer, Chris's 7th great-grandmother, some Christorians did research about her ancestors. Chris has three known ancestors, two of which are Chris descendent of, and other is distantly related.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-2791</ref><ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-533</ref><ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-229</ref>

Chris is a descendant of his 10th great-grandfather '''{{w|Edward Palmer (d.1624)|Edward Palmer}}''' (c. 1555–1624) from {{w|Gloucestershire}}, England, a gentleman with antiquarian interests who was known for his [[Stamps|extensive collections]] such as Roman coins and is best remembered for purchasing the then unnamed {{w|Garrett Island}} in colony of Virginia (now Maryland) for his plan of establishing university at the island.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-544</ref>

Edward had a son whom Chris is also descendant from. '''{{w|Thomas Palmer (burgess)|Thomas Palmer}}''' settled at Jamestown, Virginia on a boat ''Tyger'' with his wife Joan Jordan and 11 years old daughter Priscilla in November 1621. Shortly after their arrival at Jamestown, the Palmers were nearly killed by the [[Cherokian Clan|Powhatans]] during the {{w|Indian massacre of 1622}}, but survived by living in {{w|Jordan Point, Virginia#Jordan's Journey: Beggars Bush|Jordan's Journey}} shelter residence. Thomas was a captain in command of a company of militia from {{w|Eppes Island|Shirley Hundred Island}} and was a member of {{w|House of Burgesses}} at Jamestown on October 16, 1629.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Palmer-229</ref>

Perhaps notably, Thomas was a first cousin of [[Chris_and_writing#Chris_as_a_poet_and_lyricist|poet]] and [[Chris_and_writing#Chris_as_an_essayist|essayist]] '''{{w|Thomas Overbury}}''' through his father's sister Mary Palmer and her husband {{w|Nicholas Overbury}}. Overbury was known for his poem, ''A Wife'', and a victim of murder by poisoning which led to a scandalous trial.<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Overbury-10</ref>

=== Sir James Croft ===
Sir {{w|James Croft}} (1518- 4 September 1590) was English politician, who was Lord Deputy of Ireland, and MP for Herefordshire in the Parliament of England, He is Chris 12th great-grandfather on his paternal side.

=== Hugh and Isabel Bardolf ===
[[Image:Chris Anne Boleyn.png|thumb|How Chris is related to Anne Boleyn.]]
'''Hugh Bardolf''' (c. 29 September 1259 - c. 20 September 1304) <ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bardolf-9</ref> and '''Isabel Bardolf''' (born '''Isabel Aguillon'''; c. 25 March 1258 - c. 28 May 1323) <ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Aguillon-5</ref>, Chris' 19th great-grandparents, were a medieval English couple who married in 1281. According to a Redditor's Wikitree research in 2022, they are Chris' most recent shared ancestors with [[Anne Boleyn]] (albeit on his father's side, not his mother's): they gave birth to Thomas (Boleyn's 6th great-grandfather) in 1282, Margery around 1283, William in 1284, and Nicola (Chris' 18th great-grandmother) around 1294. This means that, although Chris is not ''descended'' from Anne Boleyn, he is indeed a distant relative. This is hardly surprising, as all humans are relatives of each other of varying distance.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/ChrisChanSonichu/comments/tedhwz/barb_may_not_have_been_related_to_anne_boleyn_but/</ref><ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Aguillon-5</ref>

In addition to being the source of Chris's distant connection with Anne Boleyn, Hugh Bardolf was the first nobleman of {{w|Baron Bardolf}}, a noble title in the {{w|Peerage of England}}. His wife Isabel was a member of the {{w|Aguillon family}} (of French origin), who were feudal landowners in England. Isabel's father, Sir Robert Aguillon (c. 1226 - 15 February 1286)<ref>https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Aguillon-4</ref>, was a Sheriff of Surrey & Sussex County and a keeper of two castles in both counties.

Hugh Bardolf's descendants unite with those of John Chandler (b. 1600) in 1700, when Robert Chandler (John's grandson, 1659 - c. 1720) and his wife Elizabeth Palmer (Hugh's 10th great-granddaughter, b. 1664) give birth to Joseph Chandler (11 Aug 1700 - 11 Oct 1764), Chris' 6th great-grandparent, in {{w|New Kent, Virginia}}.

A stark contrast can be observed in the fact that Hugh's first child is the ancestor of prestigious nobility (namely an Anne Boleyn and actual queen of England, Elizabeth I), while Hugh's fourth and last child is the ancestor of our infamous protagonist.

== Dixiechus ==
"'''Dixiechus'''" is a nickname used by Christorians to describe ancestors of Chris who fought for the {{w|Confederate States of America}} during the {{w|American Civil War}}. It is a portmanteau of ''{{w|Dixie}}'' and ''[[Sonichu]]''. The first Dixiechu to be identified was Joseph Chandler, discovered by Kiwifarms user Meat Pickle on 20 December 2021. The term "Dixiechu" was proposed on the [[Official CWCki Server]] on 24 April 2024, by which point four Dixiechus had been identified.

During the [[Jail Saga]], Chris was asked if he may have had ancestors who fought for the Confederacy, at a time when Joseph Chandler (on his father's side) was the only known Dixiechu. In [[Jail Letter - 25 May 2022]], he denied that his father's ancestors had fought for the Confederacy, but conceded that his mother's ancestors may have done so. In 2024, Christorians discovered William Drury Thompson - a Dixiechu on the maternal side of Chris' ancestry - partially vindicating Chris' statement.

In chronological order from most to least recent death, the Dixiechus include:

=== Joseph Chandler ===
[[File:Joseph chandler.png|thumb|right|150px|Joseph Chandler in 1911]]
'''Joseph Chandler''' (14 April 1832 - January 1925) of {{w|Autauga County, Alabama}} is Chris's great-great-grandfather along his paternal line. Joseph Chandler enlisted in the Confederate Army as a private in May 1862. Serving in the unit {{w|38th Alabama Infantry Regiment}} at {{w|Fort Gaines, Alabama|Fort Gaines}}, he fought in the {{w|Battle of Mobile Bay}} before being paroled in April 1865 after the conclusion of the war and was later discharged in August of that year due to broken shoulder.<ref>[https://kiwifarms.net/threads/random-thoughts-questions.49854/page-1487#post-10736839 A Kiwi Farms post with a record of Joseph Chandler]</ref><ref>https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/search-soldiers-detail.htm?soldierId=0AA5818C-DC7A-DF11-BF36-B8AC6F5D926A</ref> Joseph's professions after the war were farmer, shoe maker and largely a herb doctor.<ref>http://alagenealogy.com/Patriarchs/Chandler,%20Sidney%20Smith.htm#JOSEPH%20H.2%20CHANDLER</ref>

Joseph also had a younger brother Edmund (1835 - 1865, Chris's great-great-granduncle), who also fought for the Confederacy at [https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Camp_of_Instruction,_Talladega,_Alabama#:~:text=Talladega%20was%20one%20of%20two,would%20be%20obliged%20to%20enroll.| Camp of Instruction, Talladega, Alabama], died as a result during the war in 1865.<ref>https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/search-soldiers-detail.htm?soldierId=C3A5818C-DC7A-DF11-BF36-B8AC6F5D926A</ref> Joseph's two younger sons John (1876 - 1932) and Rufus (1880 - 1932), both were killed on March 21, 1932 in {{w|Chilton County, Alabama|Chilton County area}}, from the {{w|1932 Deep South tornado outbreak}}.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/106731994/john-tyler_morgan-chandler</ref><ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/26986157/rufus-sidney-chandler</ref>

=== Caleb Nelson Headley ===
[[File:CalebHeadley.png|thumb|right|150px|Caleb Headley]]

'''Caleb Nelson Headley''' (1847-1921) was born on the 8th of March 1845 (1846 or 1847 depending on which source) in Darlington County, South Carolina as the only son of Wills Headley and Rebecca Bell, Caleb's father Wills died when he was just 7 years old in 1854, and he was soon taken into the custody of James Huckabee (who would later become his stepfather), who taught the boy farming until he was 21 years old.

In 1863 when he was just 18 years old, he enlisted in the Confederate Army as part of the 63rd Alabama Regiment, Company H (They were also known as Second Alabama Reserve), he took part in fighting in Spanish Fort (he was wounded) and was discharged at his home (he was on furlough at the time) in May of 1865.

Shortly after the end of the war, he settled in Coosa County Alabama, in 1874 he married Caroline Louisa Estes when he was 28 and she was 24 at her father's house in Talladega, Alabama, He would have 8 children from 1874 to 1892 including Martha Headley (Bob's paternal grandmother), Caleb was a farmer for most of his life, in 1898 he attempted to run for a political seat in Alabama State Assembly as a Representative for Chilton County as independent but withdraw and then backed the Populist ticket for that seat.

Caleb would see his health worsen in his later years, he became nearly blind by his late 60s and by 1920 was living with his son Robert E. L Headley. He died on August 21st, 1921 in Shelby County, Alabama at age of 76.

=== William Teer ===
[[File:Willam Teer.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Image of William Teer. (Very likely to be authentic) <ref>This image was uploaded to findagrave in 2016; William Teer was not known to Christorians to be Chris' ancestor in 2016. Family trees from both 2017[https://sonichu.com/cwcki/File:Chris%27s_family_tree_up_to_his_great_great_grandparents.png] and 2019[https://imgur.com/gallery/0BgQLyH] omit the ancestry of Bob's maternal grandmother. Furthermore, his biography on rootsweb uses a similar image.[https://freepages.rootsweb.com/~dougmay/genealogy/Wmteer.htm]</ref>]]
Bob's matrilineal great-grandfather, '''Dr. William Teer''' (March 29, 1837 - October 19, 1919), was born in {{w|Neshoba County, Mississippi}}, and grew up in {{w|Angelina County, Texas}} since he was 10 years old with his seven siblings. The family later relocated to {{w|Hopkins County, Texas|Hopkins County}} outside {{w|Cumby, Texas|Cumby}} in 1860, where he worked as a farmer before enlisting in the army for the Civil War.

In October 1861, aged 24, William and his two brothers James (1830 - 1863) and Wiley (1839 - 1862), enlisted in the Confederate Army in San Antonio. Serving in the 4th Texas Cavalry Regiment, William participated in the {{w|New Mexico campaign}} under {{w|Henry Hopkins Sibley|General Sibley}}. Both of his brothers died during the war; James died at a Union prison camp in Williamsburg, Virginia, in 1863. William and Wiley fought in the battles of {{w|Battle of Valverde|Valverde}} and later to {{w|Battle of Glorietta Pass|Glorietta Pass}}, where in April 1862, Wiley was reportedly "lost or killed" and William suffered serious injuries, including a shattered right arm, a damaged spleen, and later contracting hepatitis (It might be worth reflecting how close Teer was to dying at this point - a slightly different outcome could have prevented all of Christory a century before it began). After the capture of Texas Army's supply wagons by the US Army, they retreated, leaving William and other recovering soldiers at the {{w|Santa Fe, New Mexico|Santa Fe}} hospital before shortly being captured. He was later paroled in May 1862, returning to San Antonio. Due to his injuries and disability, he was honorably discharged from his unit by General {{w|Thomas Green (general)|Thomas Green}} in September 1863 and returned to his home in Cumby, working as a farmer despite his shattered right arm.

William was married four times throughout his life. In December 1862, he married Mary Frances Carraway of Alabama, who passed away in 1867. He then remarried Louisa Frances Spears of Tennesse, in 1868, but that marriage also ended early. In January 1871, he married Nancy Jane Coburn of {{w|Ashley County, Arkansas}}. From this marriage, he had seven children, including Mary Francis Teer, Bob's maternal grandmother and the wife of John James Hollomon. After Nancy's death in 1894, William remarried to Bettie King of {{w|Mount Pleasant, Texas|Mount Pleasant}} in March 1907 at age 70, and this marriage lasted until his death in 1919.

In November 1903, inspired by the nerve damage in his shattered right arm, William established himself as an {{w|osteopath}} doctor in {{w|Tyler, Texas}}, specializing in "Exophthalmic Goitre, Biliary Calculi (Gall Stones) Paralysis, and all Nervous Diseases." He became the president of the State Association of Drugless Doctors of Texas and advocated massaging and other holistic approaches to wellness. As a doctor in Tyler, he was described as a highly respected figure, endorsed by many prominent members of the city's society. After retiring, he resided at the Texas Confederate Home in Austin before moving back to Cumby in 1918, where he later passed away in October 1919 at his youngest daughter's {{w|Miller Grove, Texas|Miller Grove}} home caused by a second paralyzing stroke.

William was mentioned in a book titled "[https://archive.org/details/texanswhoworegra00john| Texans who Wore the Gray (1907)]", written by a Confederate officer, journalist, and author Sidney Smith Johnson (1840-1910). Johnson described William as "a brave Confederate soldier, a man of fine education, and a Christian gentleman."

=== Garnder E. Shearin ===
'''Garnder E. Shearin'''' (1836/1837 - 28 January 1901)<ref>https://digital.ncdcr.gov/Documents/Detail/shearin-gardner-e.-warren-county/1671784</ref><ref>https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-warren-record-gardner-early-shearin/521312/</ref> was a Confederate veteran from North Carolina. He married Martha in 1859. In May 1861, he enlisted in the Confederate army in Warren County, North Carolina, fighting in company B of North Carolina's 30th infantry regiment remaining in service until the end of the war in 1865.

An obituary to him reads: "I was not with him in the army but learned from others, that he was a faithful soldier. My association with him since the war enables me to say I never knew a kinder hearted or monre congenial natured man. Always ready to serve a friend."

He is ancestor of Chris via Barb's side of his ancestry.

=== William Drury Thompson ===
'''William Drury Thompson''' (1814 - 17 May 1862) was a civil war enlistee from North Carolina, although it's unknown which side of the military force, (although there's a record suggesting he's a Confederate enlistee for North Carolina's Infantry 12th Regiment), died during his basic training in Richmond, Virginia due to illnesses, 2 months after enlisting.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/262604729/william-drury-thompson</ref>

He is Chris' great-great-great-grandfather. More specifically, he is the paternal grandfather of the maternal grandmother of Barbara.

=== Rufus Walker ===

'''Rufus Walker''' (1820-1895) was a Confederate soldier who served in Company H and came from Milton, Alabama, located in Autauga County. He became a prisoner of war after being surrendered by Lieutenant General Richard Taylor to Major E.R.S. Canby on May 4, 1865. Rufus was later paroled in Selma in June 1865.<ref>https://38thalabama.com/ndashv-to-zndash.html</ref>

He is Chris' great-great-great-grandfather, with the lineage as follows: Rufus Walker (1820-1895) > Mary Elizabeth Walker (1840-1887) > Joseph Chandler (1871-1947) > Robert F. Chandler Sr. (1906-1977) > Robert ("[[Bob]]") F. Chandler Jr. (1927-2011) > Chris

==Ancestry.com content==
In [[January 2017]], a distant relative of Chris posted images to Kiwi Farms, on various documents relating to the Chandler family, acquired from Ancestry.com<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/interesting-info-about-chriss-family-particularly-their-parents.27521/</ref>

{{quotebox|Bob is apparently an only child, however Barbara has five deceased siblings and several more living ones.}}
{{quotebox|Most of Chris's ancestors were [[RandomSong1|farmers]], doing tasks that Chris would find back breaking.}}
{{quotebox|Chris, from what I gathered, is not 1/16 Cherokian. He is however 1/16 British and 1/8 French Canadian.}}
{{quotebox|His great great grandparent's from Northern Ireland.}}
The "Northern Irish" ancestor was Chris's great-great-grandmother Mary Weston (née McClintic, 31 Oct 1834 - 25 Dec 1910). Mary was born in the town of {{w|Omagh}} (whose name means "the [[Virgin with Rage|virgin]] plain" in Gaelic) in County [[niggos|Tyrone]], in what is today {{w|Northern Ireland}}. She came to the United States between 1840 and 1850, likely as a result of the {{w|Irish Potato Famine}}.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/22502739/joseph-mcclintock</ref> She settled in Augusta, Ohio, where she married Joseph "John" Edward Weston, Chris's great-great-grandfather, in 1858, who was also from Augusta. Both later settled in {{w|Clarksville, Virginia}}.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/24279732/mary-weston</ref>

The "French Canadian" ancestor was Chris's great-grandmother Sarah Ann Weston (née {{w|Clan Hamilton|Hamilton}}, Apr 1867 - 25 Jan 1938), who was born in [[wikipedia:Huntingdon, Quebec|Huntingdon]], {{w|Quebec}} and came to Virginia with her family during the 1870s, settling near Red Oak.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/35318370/sarah-jane-weston</ref><ref>https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/6823228286:62476</ref> Although the majority of Quebeckers speak French, her surname and the fact that she was born in a predominantly English-speaking part of Quebec suggest that she belonged to the province's English-speaking minority. Moreover, her paternal and maternal grandparents were all born in [[Tito Got No Luck Against We Brits, Irish and Scots!|Scotland]], making her of entirely Scottish descent.<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/249266361/jane-hamilton</ref><ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/249027191/daniel-hamilton</ref> Sarah is Chris's most recent immigrant ancestor.
