{{quote|Damn Dimension [[1218]]’s “Reality” Limits and Shit!!!|Chris, after New Year's 2019, disappointed when our reality did not merge with Sonichu's<ref>[[January 2019 social media posts]]</ref>.}}

[[File:Dimensional Merge on freespeechwall-min.jpg|thumb|500px|right|Chris warns downtown [[Charlottesville]] of the impending merge on its Free Speech Wall.]]

The '''Dimensional Merge''' is an escapist fantasy and [[coping]] mechanism for [[Christian Weston Chandler|Chris]]. Originally part of the lore the [[Idea Guys]] had [[brainwashed]] into Chris, the Dimensional Merge is Chris’s latest attempt at avoiding [[reality]], believing that it will rescue him from his self-inflicted life problems and enable him to continue living like a child.

The Merge is an event in which Chris believes that "[[Dimensions#1218|Dimension 1218]]" and "[[Dimensions#C-197|Dimension C-197]]" (respectively, the universe of real life, and the [[Dimensions|parallel universe]] where [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] and other fictional characters live) will combine, [[Chris and reality|bringing fictional characters into reality]]. Chris is convinced that he is the designated liaison of the event and will become a [[Chris and religion|deity]] as a result, giving the appearance of a doomsday cult leader. First announced in [[October 2018]], the Dimensional Merge's beginning on 18 November 2018,<ref name=mergebegins>https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/1064201575994982400</ref> aligning with the 40th anniversary of the {{w|Jonestown|Jonestown mass suicide}}, revealed it to be a [[troll]] fabrication.
The Merge was expected to take place by the end of [[December 2018]]. Naturally, when New Year's came and went, Chris began backpedaling but remained insistent that the Merge would occur. On 29 December 2020, Chris tried again at claiming that the merge was happening<ref>[[December 2020 social media posts#The Merge is apparently on]]</ref> as a coping mechanism for the cancellation of the 2021 [[BABSCon]].

Trolls had put the idea of the Dimensional Merge into Chris's head, and have encouraged it ever since. A [[Teen Troon Squad]] member claimed the idea to have originated with the [[Idea Guys]], but added, "we discouraged the idea at first",<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/posts/4149788/</ref> implying that they later began encouraging Chris to believe. In the months since then, several [[weens]] and [[enablers]] have also pretended to believe in the Merge, enabling Chris and trying to win him over. As the default latching-on point for trolls and the dominant meta-[[saga]] in Chris's life at present, the Dimensional Merge has replaced the classic [[Love Quest]] after its [[polyamorous marriage|surreal conclusion]] in early [[2018]].

== Background ==

[[File:Filthy carpet in Work Room - July 2019.jpg|thumb|x250px|right|Reality, according to Chris.]]

Chris has, for a long time, believed in the existence of one or more alternative universes, where every fictional character lives. He first alluded to this belief during a January 2010 [[Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 2|phone call]] with [[Asperchu|Alec Benson Leary]]. During the call, he told Leary that [[Asperchu/Background|Asperchu]] would surely have negative feelings about his [[Asperger syndrome|own name]], and then repeatedly called Leary “[[naïve]]” for explaining that Asperchu is ''not'' a living, sentient creature who lives in another universe and can independently generate their own thoughts. This is most likely one of the things Chris has [[Things Chris has ripped off|learned]] from [[Chris and television|television]]. More specifically, he offered the 1988 animated comedy film ''{{w|Who Framed Roger Rabbit}}'' to Leary as possible evidence of a “toon world” inhabited by every “published or unpublished” cartoon character.

From then up to the Dimensional Merge saga, Chris has increasingly believed that the fictitious city of [[CWCville]] and [[List of Sonichu characters|his characters]] were real, embracing their alleged existence as a way to “escape” from anything he [[Kick the Autistic|does not like]]. Chris has been spotted conversing, interacting and even [[BronyCon#Dancing with Magi-Chan|dancing]] with his imaginary friends on many occasions.<ref>[https://kiwifarms.net/threads/6-19-eyewitness-account-of-the-debt-hearing.57555/#post-4870932 Re: Eyewitness account of the debt hearing], 19 June 2019 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20190622230219/https://kiwifarms.net/threads/6-19-eyewitness-account-of-the-debt-hearing.57555/#post-4870932 Archived version]).</ref><ref>[https://kiwifarms.net/threads/aug-2017-video-of-chris-dancing-with-magi-chan-at-bronycon-gala.57840/ Aug 2017 - Video of Chris dancing with "Magi-Chan" at BronyCon gala], 27 June 2019 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20190715211102/https://kiwifarms.net/threads/aug-2017-video-of-chris-dancing-with-magi-chan-at-bronycon-gala.57840/ Archived version]).</ref>

Throughout [[2017]], Chris appeared convinced by the [[Idea Guys]] that the Sonichu and [[Hyperdimension Neptunia]] universes actually existed, but in a separate dimension. In [[July 2018]], Chris [[July 2018 social media posts#Earth 1218|tweeted]] at Marvel writer Seanan McGuire, asking him to confirm the "dimension number" of "this Earth". McGuire responded with "Earth 1218", and later clarified that this was the Marvel universe's designation for the real universe. Chris took it as gospel, and subsequently uses "1218" to refer to the actual, existing universe. Weeks later, McGuire reiterated [[August 2018 social media posts#Redesign|once again]] that everything was imaginary, but Chris' response to McGuire and various trolls indicates that he still believes that people such as McGuire can communicate with other dimensions.

Over the summer and fall of 2018, Chris met with the [[Teen Troon Squad]], people who gave him [[Chris and drugs#Cannabis|weed]], pretended to be possessed by Sonichu characters and that the universes would merge.

===Relation to [[Financhu Crisis]]===
Chris believes that he is wealthy in [[CWCville]], and that when the dimensions merge, he will have access to his [[money]] there and he will be able to pay off his current, real-world debts. He has asked to borrow money from people, claiming he will pay back ten times the amount once the merge concludes, not realizing he sounds like a more autistic version of the {{w|Advance-fee scam|Nigerian Prince Scam}}.

On 8 October, Chris tweeted:

{{quotebox|Sometimes I just want to Give Up - but my Loves won't Let Me. If people could help us here, in This World, Monetarily, we would be Okay. I promise all of you, that when That Day Comes, I will reimburse you, Personally, in the Nation of Cwcville.}}

He followed up on 23 October with:

{{quotebox|When the worlds merge I will have access to TONS of savings in Cwcville. It is a lot of money; indeed. 10:1 is my repayment rate!}}

On 24 [[September 2018]], Chris was [[Chris and the law|sued]] by Second Round Sub for unpaid debt, and on 23 [[October 2018]], Midland Funding followed suit. The case for the former was postponed to January, but the verdict on the Midland case was read on 19 [[December 2018]], requiring Chris to pay $2,777.90 at 6% interest and $55 in court costs.

Remarkably, he has done little begging in the wake of the lawsuits. This has surprised many, considering the immense amount of times he has groveled online for money in the years 2016-2018. He has instead chosen to stick his head in the sand and pretend that the Merge will solve all his problems for him.

==Beliefs on the Merge==
{{quote|When I had to go to hospital and stay in hospital with heart complications, Chris sent me a message from his [[MagiChan111448|Magi-Chan Sonichu account]] claiming that my symptoms were associated with affects from the dimensional merge.|[[Aly Hirschberg]].<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/goto/post?id=7227880</ref>}}

[[File:Dimensional Merge math on McDonalds napkin.jpg|thumb|While eating at [[McDonald's]], Chris scribbled down the math for how many people will be killed in the Merge on a napkin.]]

Chris [https://kiwifarms.net/posts/3862765/ announced] the event on 14 [[October 2018]]. On 26 [[October 2018]], Chris posted a video entitled "[[Dimensional Merge Announcements]]" where he outlined the process of 1218 merging with its "sister dimension" C-197, where [[Things Chris has ripped off|every fictional character known to exist]] resides. He believes that once the merge occurs, Earth will be shared by humans and various characters.

On 14 [[November 2018]], Chris made a tweet explaining the survival rates for the inhabitants of the sister dimensions during the merge. Chris explains the population math as follows; 61.25% of the population of dimension C-197 is identical to that of Earth in dimension 1218, the remaining 38.75% of the population of C-197 are OCs which are unique to C-197, all of the OCs of C-197 are guaranteed to survive the merge, at least 51% of the human population of the Earths in both sister dimensions will survive the merge and at least 41% will not with an uncertainty of 8%, the best outcome of the merge would leave 59% of the population of 1218 alive and all of the 38.75% of the OCs of C-197 plus 11.25% of the human population of C-197 in the dimension 1218C197, the dimension 1C-211987 would be left with 109% of 1218's current population leaving approximately 8.365 billion humans and OCs in the new universe.<ref>https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/1062688325130219521</ref>

[[File:DimensionalMergeThanos.jpg|thumb|500px|right|Chris Thanos-ing the two dimensions with the Infinity Gauntlet.]]
Naturally, he [[Chris and his ego|believes that he will be guaranteed survival]] because he "absorbed the spiral seal" from his Sega Dreamcast and is therefore the middleman between the two dimensions. He believes that himself and [[Megan Schroeder|Megan]] are basically deities, and that he will gain superpowers following the merge because of his belief that he is half-Sonichu.

He sent [https://archive.fo/AEDdd dozens of follow-up tweets] further detailing the process, explaining that [[Cwcville]] would replace northern [[Virginia]], Gotham City will replace a portion of New Jersey, and Equestria will take over the entirety of [[BronyCon|Maryland]]. He explained that this will resemble a natural disaster scenario and that mass evacuations may occur during the merge.

On 18 November 2018, Chris announced that the Merge had begun<ref name=mergebegins></ref>. This date coincides with the anniversary of the Jonestown mass suicide, implying that the Idea Guys had originated the Merge concept, as their calling card was inserting infamous historical dates into CWCville lore.

In early [[December 2018]], Chris reported feeling [https://kiwifarms.net/attachments/upload_2018-12-10_8-12-50-png.611515/ "psychic headaches"] and associated the merge with the [https://kiwifarms.net/attachments/cwc-png.611544/ California wildfires and the romaine lettuce recall.] As the merge drew closer, he claimed to have [https://kiwifarms.net/attachments/2-png.619236/ "lightning powers"] and that the "millions of volts" of electricity in his head is evidence that he is half-Sonichu. Without giving a time estimate for the merge, he tried to dispel doubts by [https://kiwifarms.net/attachments/upload_2018-12-22_11-41-7-png.620632/ claiming that he can "touch and feel"] [[Polyamorous marriage|Magi-Chan and Cryzel Rosechu]]. He estimated that the merge would conclude by the year's end.<ref>https://archive.fo/QKq44</ref>

===Magi-Chan doxxing incident===
On Christmas 2018, someone claiming to be Magi-Chan logged into Chris's Twitter, posting a Pastebin dump containing the dox of one of the Teen Troon Squad's members. They also stated that the Merge would actually take place in 20 years due to time dilation, and that Sonichu residents of C-197 would need to hibernate until then.

{{Quotebox|Hello everyone! It is I, Magi-Chan Sonichu. I read the password for this account from Chris' mind.

As you all know, the merge will be happening soon.

I currently have Lukas (my host body) in a trance, so they won't remember typing this out.

The final stage of the merge will involve everyone in our universe disconnecting from your
universe. We will go silent. We must hibernate to tug the universes together.

I have really enjoyed my time in your universe. I want to give thanks to my host body in your world, [redacted]. (Legal name: [redacted].) I want everyone to know what a
gracious host they were. Lukas and Christine and I (and some of our friends) had lots of fun
hanging out with Christine and smoking weed. We used to do it in their old house, but she just moved to a new house at [redacted]. I'm sad I won't be able to smoke weed there until after the merge. If you want to give Lukas a call to let her know how cool she is, she'd really appreciate it. Her number is [redacted].

Her mother Tara raised a brilliant young person. Her mother is also very progressive. I mean, who would have the courage to let their child spend their time smoking weed with someone like Christine, who's nearly twice their age? A really brave mother, that's who.g

Lukas is a really cool person. If you want to end up as brilliant as Lukas, you should also
spend a lot of time opening your mind by role playing and smoking weed with cool people
like Christine.

Anyhoo, praise be for my gracious host aside, here's how the merge will go down:

* everyone disconnects from Earth 1218 for a small period of time
* we hibernate
* and by the end of 2018 in our universe, the universes will be merged

Because of time dilation though, it will take a little bit longer in Earth 1218. By your human calendar in that universe, the merge should be complete by the end of 2038. 2018 here, 2038 in 1218.

In 20 short years, you should start seeing manifestations of what you people so cynically call "fictional characters". You might literally shit your panties when you see Bugs Bunny in real life! (But be polite, he looks a little rough. Makeup on television can work wonders.)

Goodbye for now!

Chris later dismissed the news as fake.

== The Merge in 2019 and Beyond ==
[[File:MergeProofArt.jpg|thumb|Chris proving the merge once and for all.]]
[[File:CWCville_Degeneration.jpg|thumb|An artist's depiction of CWCville after the merge.]]
Naturally, New Year's Eve of 2019 was an eagerly awaited moment as the final chance for the cataclysm to occur. In the early morning hours of 1 January 2019, Chris spoke out on Twitter in a New Year's address, explaining that the Merge had not happened on time due to "red tape", betraying some internal bureaucracy in the process of becoming the tranny-goddess of 80s computers.

He remained insistent that the event would still occur, adding in reassurances that the Sonichu-verse was still "Awake" to remind everyone of the Magi-chan doxxing's non-canon status.

{{quotebox|Good New Year, Everyone. I shall make my statement for now, and I Want No Backtalk Or Hateful Commentary.

The Dimension Merge of C-197 and our 1218 is still in progress. There is more damn red tape to work through, but our goal is still set; it is only delayed.

Everyone of C-197 is still very much Awake; we have secured [[Arfoire]] in a magic-proof cell a few days ago. Not even that Witch’s Courier on Facebook can say otherwise, because [[Honor Roll|I Know Better]], and her words shall never get to or sway me any other way.

I still remain the [[CPU]] Blue Heart of the Commodore Consoles, Cwcville and Comma, and Everyone is safe and well. But for now, I shall delay online talk of the Dimension Merge through my Social Media Accounts until further notice.

And I still remain very much married to Magi-Chan Sonichu, Cryzel Rosechu, Sylvana Rosechu, and Mewtwo; there is room for at least one from this Dimension, but there is no rush.

For now, Happy New Year, Everyone.

Dismiss. ⚡️💙⚡️}}

The context behind Chris's aside about [[Jessica Quinn#Versus Idea Guy|Arfoire]] was revealed in screencaps [[Lukas]] leaked on [[/cow/]]. In them, a person purporting to be the Arfoire-possessed Jessica Quinn PMs Chris over Facebook, saying she had tricked Chris into believing in the Merge:

<center><gallery>
File:Lukas poses as Jessica Quinn 1.jpeg
File:Lukas poses as Jessica Quinn 2.jpeg
</gallery></center>

However, the attached post from Lukas<ref>https://8ch.net/cow/res/687691.html#q690962</ref> suggests that Lukas had been posing as Quinn in an attempt to pass the blame onto her:

{{quoteboxyellow|I’m not even the one who started the merge thing I just tricked my moms sugar daddy into buying Chris’s porn shit here’s screenshots Chris sent to me of texts from Jessica Quinn pretty sure she’s the one}}

Despite Chris stating that he would abstain from talking about the Merge online until further notice, he went on to mention it ''the following day'' while writing about the <s>[[Chris and health|health problems]]</s> "superpowers" that he got from it.<ref>https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/1080537645162422272</ref>

On 4 January 2019, Chris said that he was awaiting further information on the merge, more indication that the entire merge event had been scripted and fed to him by trolls who were no longer in the picture.

{{quote|Because of some deity-level red tape, it's delayed but it will happen soon enough. But don't make a big deal about it until I have more further information about it.|Chris, [[Jackson Dalton]] interview}}

Particularly troubling about Chris's comment is that he wants more information in order to verify that his delusional thoughts are real. By admitting this, he highlighted a path for new trolls to get into his head, showing he failed to learn from the [[Idea Guys]] saga. Several eager weens rushed in to fill the gaps in Chris's ''knowledge'', though by mid-[[June 2019]], Chris had apparently become overwhelmed with these, and has since turned to other, [[Chris and his ego|more credible]] sources.

===Continued hope in the merge===
[[File:Dmcompletcard.jpg|thumb|The epitome of Chris's desperation in card form. Also, the one goal card that Chris will never win.]]
After the first deadline for the merge had passed, Chris remained optimistic that the merge would still happen at some point. While he was initially quiet about it, he began ramping up the rants about the merge again around spring. On 31 March, he tweeted:<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1112426978458718208</ref>

{{quotebox|The <nowiki>#DimensionMerge</nowiki> is still happening and going on. C-197 plus 1218 <nowiki>=</nowiki> 1C-211987. OCs are really becoming more obvious here; there are even sightings of a [[April_2018_Paid_Video_Requests#Message_to_Dio_Brando.2C_Plus_I_Need_a_New_Phone.21|Dio blonde vampire in Egypt]]. Descendants, Beware! Dio is coming after you all.}}

Several merge-related tweets followed in April, in which he claimed that people in Japan were seeing OCs<ref>[[:File:Mergeprogress.png]]</ref> and blaming the Notre Dame church fire on a Pokémon.<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/4-15-chris-spotted-at-target-he-tweets-that-a-pokemon-caused-notre-dame-fire.55479/</ref> The events around this time give context for Chris's renewed interest in the merge:

*Earlier in March 2019, after Chris was gifted a [[Nintendo Switch]], he developed an obsession with playing the augmented reality game ''[[Pokémon GO|Pokémon Go]]''. The game's premise revolves around using smartphones to see Pokémon characters in real-world settings, which coincides with Chris's beliefs about the merge.

*On 2 April, Chris was sued for debt for the fourth time, further confirming the link between the merge and his financial problems.

*On 3 April, a new troll entered the stage with [[Future message from Crystal W Chandler]], who presented himself to Chris as a messenger of the merge.

Beginning in summer 2019, Chris would emphasise more often that the Merge is already nearly done and would soon be completely finished, like an obscure sect leader struggling to explain to his followers after the fact why the Second Coming had not come when he calculated it should. On 13 [[June 2019]], Chris claimed that he had been consulting with Jesus Christ, and that Jesus has been helping with the dimensional merge, which would be finished in the "near-coming days" – but without giving an actual set date. Chris also mentioned that Jesus has been preaching this at churches and in Pokémon gyms and yet needed Chris to help get the word out by posting to his [[Soft Exile|protected]] Twitter account.<ref>[[June 2019 social media posts#Chris says, according to Jesus, dimensional merge will be finished soon]]</ref> Naturally, after indulging his fantasies on the matter, Chris begged for money.<ref>[[2019 Sales Listings#June]]</ref>

As [[July 2019]] began, Chris tried to demonstrate his divine abilities through #[[PsychicPowers]], a pair of videos in which Chris drops items from his hand by the {{w|Ideomotor effect|ideomotor effect}}. On 8 July, he tried to assure his TRUE and HONEST believers on Twitter that the Merge's effects would be 'MILD and TEMPORARY', and continued his long trend of attributing random events in the news as harbingers of the Merge. On 10 July, Chris, via his [[Magi-chan]] sockpuppet on Twitter, complained about the many uninspired [[troll]]s who have tried to take advantage of the Merge to exploit Chris.<ref>[https://kiwifarms.net/threads/7-10-magi-chan-telling-everybody-that-all-the-stuff-christine-said-and-did-is-true.58275/]</ref> This has not prevented others, such as the [[Multidimensional White Knights]] or [[Jacob Sockness]], from attempting to weasel their way into Chris's inner circle.

To advance his belief in the Merge, Chris has resorted to using sockpuppet accounts on Twitter, most prominently [[MagiChan111448]], to broadcast events. Whether he is using this as a transparent [[disguises|disguise]] to convince others, or he genuinely thinks that he is channeling his cartoon character's thoughts and statements into a microblogging platform, is unclear. On 14 [[August 2019]], '[[Magi-Chan]]' would announce that he has allegedly arrived into the real world, and would presently describe in a video the Merge's status.<ref>[[August 2019 social media posts#Magi-chan says he has entered our world|Magi-chan says he has entered our world]]</ref>

In a [[Discord]] message on November 2019, Chris was still pining for the Merge, stating, "As for getting me into C-197, that Has to happen ASAP." In March 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Chris believed it to be a sign of the impending Merge.<ref>[[March 2020 social media posts#COVID-19 a sign of Dimensional Merge]]</ref>

On 29 [[December 2020]], Chris announced that the Merge "is on".<ref>https://twitter.com/cpu_cwcsonichu/status/1344006709606555648?s=21</ref> Later in the day, Chris stated that his “Merge is on” post was in reference to an “apex event” most likely referring to him attempting to break the Iron Curtain.<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1344103627657523200</ref> The next day, Chris went into further detail alluding to the Merge happening on New Years day 2021.<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1344445974689755136</ref> When New Years day came Chris clarified he meant the Merge would happen “any moment at the present time” meaning very soon after the New Year. <ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1345224423704555520</ref> On January 22, Chris announced that the merge would be completed making it the 3rd time he had claimed the Merge would happen at a specific time.<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1352706314699493383</ref>

Back in 30 [[October 2020]], Chris(pretending to be Sonichu), stated if he could not get Chris’ body back to C-197 and Chris and Sonichu’s souls swapped, Chris could not return to 1218. <ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1322323442255974400</ref> When Chris and Sonichu “swapped” on 25 [[February 2021]], Chris was expecting the Merge to happen on that day because of the swap which is why he said, “The dimension merge is happening; know which universe you are in when are suddenly transported peoples.” <ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1365027058355752962</ref> This would be the 4th time Chris had claimed the Merge would happen at a specific time. Due to the Merge not happening on February 25th and MLP G5 movie screenshots being leaked, Chris decided to leave Twitter to remain in his cognitive dissonance.<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1365352632454414337</ref>

On 9 [[March 2021]], Chris claimed that 1218 and C-197 were one combined dimension in the past, but King Arthur and other kings used magic to separate the combined dimensions and send all known magic to C-197. <ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1369417934104391689</ref>

The Merge's future course is subject only to Chris's whims, and is not dependent upon Chris's [[Financhu Crisis|deteriorating finances]], his [[Barbara Chandler|aged mother's]] declining health, or [[Chris and reality|any other events in 1218]]. Originally supposed to be complete within a few months of its announcement, it is now ''nearly complete'' and yet continues to be pushed further into the future, as nothing in Chris's world objectively changes except the identities of his enabling rivals for incompetence. Whether Chris will abandon his belief in the Merge in the event of some external shock like Barb's [[Chris and death|death]] and its fallout, or retreat further into it, is something only time can tell.

My Little Pony Protests

[[File:Hasbro Protest.jpg|thumb|400px|"When do we want it?!" "Later!"]]

The '''''My Little Pony'' Protests''' are a [[Sonic Boom Protests|nonviolent]] series of tweets, videos and other media with the intention of persuading Hasbro—the owners of the ''[[My Little Pony]]'' franchise—to continue producing five more seasons of their animated series, ''Friendship is Magic'' in lieu of rebooting the franchise into its fifth generation, and as of late [[2019]], to cancel the spin-off series, ''My Little Pony: Pony Life''.

[[Chris]], of course, remains the only active participant since [[August 2018]]. [[CPU Blue Heart|Being quite the big shot in C-197]], he has conveyed that the aims of the protests are a means of preserving his [[imaginary friends]] in the ''Pony'' realm of Equestria; or simply put to everyone else, he refuses to accept that his favorite cartoon has concluded without his approval.

Having become seasoned in campaigns, such as the "Sonic Boom Protests" and [[HarassCWCdirectly|#HarassCWCdirectly]], the Hasbro Protests are one of Chris's most [[Chris and reality|out of touch ventures]] to date. Fortunately, [[Chris and the law|in his own best interests]], he is proceeding with the demonstrations in a more restrained manner than [[26 December 2014|previous endeavors]].

==Background==
{{main|My Little Pony|Chris and reality}}
[[File:VariousBronyConArt.jpg|thumb|left|250px|An example of Chris's chronicles in Equestria, which he perceives as reality.]]

''My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic'' was the fourth generation (or G4) of the Hasbro property, which aired from 10 October 2010 to 12 October 2019;<ref>''[[Wikipedia:My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]''</ref> by definition, it was Chris's favorite show of the [[2010s]]. His history with the franchise is a particularly rich one: he [[My Little Pony#Chris and ponies|initially got invested]] with the franchise to get [[Love Quest|closer]] with [[Megan]], but he was still a fan even long after she stopped speaking with him.

Weeks prior to his opening protest, Chris attended BronyCon 2018, where the staff announced that [[2019]] would see their final convention.<ref>https://twitter.com/BronyCon/status/1023675000132259840</ref> This, compounded with the [[Stress|looming dread]] of G4 ending, may have been the catalyst for him to [[Megatron pistol|take arms]] and get Hasbro's attention. For Chris, Hasbro not succumbing to his demands would be to defy his self-proclaimed divinity. Though his decision to campaign was purely of his own accord, he asserts that the continuation of G4 was demanded by the highest order in Equestria – the Princesses of Equestria.<ref>[[August 2018 social media posts#MLP protest part 4]]</ref>

On 13 [[August 2018]], Chris commenced his campaign with a statement and video posted via Twitter.<ref name=proteststart>[[August 2018 social media posts#Chris starts his Pony Protest]]</ref>

In his opening statement, Chris declared that he had [[Dreams|foreseen a possible future timeline]] in C-197, in which a spell intended to ascend [[:File:SchuComic12-9Page35.JPG|Applejack]] (who was in G4 an "Earth Pony", ie. a normal horse that's neither a Pegasus nor a Unicorn) to become an Alicorn backfires, causing the incumbent Alicorn, [[:File:SchuComic12-9Page30.JPG|Twilight Sparkle]], to transfer her wings and horn to [[:File:SchuComic12-9Page16-min.jpg|Pinkie Pie]] (who was in G4 an Earth Pony) and [[:File:Night Star crossover MLP.jpeg|Fluttershy]] (who was in G4 a Pegasus), respectively; this was apparently where G4 would transition to G5. On a more tangible note, Chris seems to have based his concerns on a single concept image for G5, which may or may not be official anyway.<ref name=deviant></ref> Chris's delusional theory falls flat, considering that the alleged G5 art of Fluttershy has removed her wings.

[[File:PonyProtestInspiration.jpg|thumb|400px|The image which got Chris all riled up.]]
{{quotebox|Everyone of Earth 1218! I have an announcement!

I have seen a future that we must prevent: My Little Pony Generation Five.

Spoiler Alert: Princess Twilight Sparkle was prompted to promote Applejack to become an Alicorn Princess, but in doing so, the spell backfires and then we end up with... THIS!

Twilight becoming an Earth Pony (SIMPLY UNFORGIVABLE!), and the horns and wings being lost and swapped between Twilight, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy.

I just did a reset to prevent that from happening. Celestia will take it upon herself to promote Applejack, because she Will be doing something that brings the magic out of her, like it did Cadence and Twilight. AJ’s Promotion needs to happen; she becomes the next Alicorn Princess by Celestia’s Power; Twilight and the others remain as they are, and G4 continues on. Generation Five Must Not Happen!

Listen up, @Hasbro and @HasbroNews , because I HAVE The Power and Link to our Sister Dimension, and I have seen it too.

<nowiki>#ContinueMLPG4!</nowiki>

CONTINUE My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic for at least Five More Seasons, @Hasbro and @HasbroNews !

Our Matching Futures are at Stake Here! I, your CPU Blue Heart Commands it so as well, in agreement with Princess Celestia.

Please, Heed Our Warning!

Thank You.<ref name=proteststart></ref>}}

'''Description'''

Heed Our Warning, Hasbro! Applejack MUST become an Alicorn Princess, and Twilight must NEVER become an Earth Pony!

'''Transcript'''

Hey there everybody this is Christine Chandler coming to you live from home once again. People of Earth [[1218]] heed my warning! Spoiler alert, I have seen the future and I had to prevent it!

Princess Twilight Sparkle was about to upgrade Applejack to Alicorn status by-c-by order of Princess Celestia. Because a-Applejack is gonna come upon her own magic in a few days. But it backfires and instead of Applejack becoming Alicorn, period, Twilight's Wings get put onto Pinkie Pie and Twilight's horn gets onto Fluttershy and it's just no GOOOOOOD, and that's how we end up with that FRICKIN' G5!

We must prevent this! This is not gonna work out and I have foreseen this. This is very, very bad. So I had just confirmed with Twilight and Princess Celestia as well and... Celestia and I are in agreement as she has seen the future as well... We must prevent this G5 mistake from ever happening. And yes, G4 will continue... Applejack is the next Alicorn princess and she must become that without flaw. And so Celestia will take it upon herself to... upgrade Applejack as well.

But anyway. Heed my word, Hasbro! And everybody on the MLP show! Generation 5 must NEVER HAPPEN! And G4 must have at least 5 more seasons. And Applejack will become an Alicorn princess...

Heed this! Heed our warning! This is an official command from your CPU Blue Heart in agreement with Princess Celestia of Equestria all of which in our sister dimension.

[''nods, pauses'']

Thank you.

==Chris's premonitions==
[[File:PrincessAJ2.jpg|thumb|right|Because if Chris has portrayed it, it ''must'' be canon.]]

The rest of August 2018 saw Chris continually ranting about five more seasons of ''Friendship is Magic''. He eventually explained that if G4 was to be cancelled, the mishap stated in his video would occur, leaving Equestria vulnerable to [[Akan]] – the villain of ''Hardcore Henry'' and [[Sonichu 13|''Sonichu'' #13]], as instilled by the Idea Guys. G5 would follow said events, resulting in Akan's invasion extending into [[1218|our universe]]:
{{quotebox|The separation of the species, and the aggression is the future Celestia had seen should G5 continue and G4 end. Twilight will become an Earth Pony, and then with her unable to defend Equestria, Akan and his forces will overpower Equestria, and in the G5 show, in all the ”action” and “cool looks” and all that, Akan’s message of worshipping him as leader of all worlds will be broadcasted subliminally, and his reign will spread into Our World from our Sister Dimension there!<ref name=part6></ref>}}

It was during this wall of tweets when he started tagging the show's voice actors. It remains unknown whether the actors took notice of Chris's posts, but Hasbro certainly didn't.

[[File:AkanOC.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Never mind [[Dragon Ball Z|Goku]] or the [[Power Rangers]]. Only cartoon horses can defeat Akan.]]
On the other hand, Chris offered insight into what would be in store if the show was to continue. He believed that by the end of Season 14, all the main characters would become Alicorns, as part of a King Arthur-esque "Round Table of the Princesses of Harmony":
{{quotebox|[The] rest of the Mane Six are destined to join Princess Twilight and the soon-to-be Princess of Honesty, Applejack, as Alicorns, themselves during that time frame. Their Stories MUST be told and continued. The Reboot will ONLY just Kill the timeline of ours that will simply stifle the originals’ growth, as well as throw Both of or dimensions into a chaos that must never ever take place, @Hasbro.<ref name=part2></ref>}}

Despite Hasbro neither confirming nor denying a new season beyond 9, on 22 August, Chris went ahead with the good ending regardless:
{{quotebox|Everybody! Mark this day at about 4:10 pm, Eastern Standard Time; I saw it as it happened, as Celestia and Twilight had Applejack in her hall of memories. Without a hitch or backfire, Princess Applejack of Honesty, has arisen! And Princess Twilight remains an Alicorn!}}
{{quotebox|Everybody of this world, you all may congratulate Princess Applejack in shouting, social media sharing, or you can even write a letter directly to her (no address or stamp required; just your hand writing and signature and a moment to let your link shine for her to get the message.

All Hail Princess Applejack! All Hail the Equestria Princesses of Harmony! All Hail the continuation of MLP G4 as well!<ref>[[August 2018 social media posts#Applejack becomes an Alicorn]]</ref>}}

He even attended the coronation:
{{quotebox|Well, everyone, I was just there, in my Ponysona, sitting with Nightstar, [[Kun]] and [[September 2018 social media posts#Zap Note|Zap Note]] in the front row in Canterlot; our Princess Applejack, of Honesty, has been coronated! Everyone praise her today! Yeee-Haw!<ref name=PAJ></ref>}}
The battle was won, at least in Chris's mind, but the war was not yet over.

Later, in [[November 2019]], Chris immortalized his pseudo-canon as part of his

==''Friendship is Magic'' ends==
[[File:ChrisTF2.jpg|thumb|250px|Imagine being one of the VIPs at a convention, and one of your fans tells you that you would continue voicing a role because the character you voice communicated her demands from another dimension to said fan. That was voice actress Nicole Oliver in 2019.]]

On 16 February 2019, ''My Little Pony'' confirmed that Season 9 would be their final one.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/mylittlepony/posts/2652914364725984:0</ref> Chris's campaign reemerged in the June of that year; in his second wave of protests, he pulled the [[Chris and politics|"Big, Greedy Corporation" card]] as his excuse for Hasbro not budging:
{{quotebox|On the Good News: Everyone At Hasbro has received, either directly from Celestia, herself, or from those of us in the fandom, communities and then some and so forth. BUT, apparently, there are Some at Hasbro who do not believe in Fate and Destiny events, in addition to their monetary greed (no surprise).<ref name=june19>[[June 2019 social media posts#Chris resumes the My Little Pony Protests]]</ref>}}

Failing to understand that companies delegate productions to other studios to meet time and budget constraints, he advised his fellow campaigners to boycott the new (canon) television special:
{{quotebox|The upcoming MLP Special, [[Wikipedia:My Little Pony: Rainbow Roadtrip|Rainbow Roadtrip]], as it was made by a different media company: Please, Boycott Watching It, as well as Any and all Uploaded Video Content of this show.
Typically, I am not one to bad mouth about that which has no hatred content in it, BUT this is a Royal Request.<ref name=june19></ref>}}

At the [[BronyCon 2019|final BronyCon]] in [[August 2019]], Chris [[BronyCon 2019#Meeting Nicole Oliver|relayed to Princess Celestia voice actress, Nicole Oliver]], that her contract would be extended (note: Chris assumed the identity of [[Magi-Chan]] during the following post):
{{quoteboxpurple|Celestia and Luna are a long way from retiring. As @CPU_CWCSonichu has personally told @mouthnoize at BronyCon, “The Reirement [''sic''] is not in.”<ref>[[September 2019 social media posts#Chris spoke to VA about the Pony Protests]]</ref>}}
Nicole Oliver later blocked Chris on Twitter for undisclosed reasons.<ref>[[:File:NicoleOliverTwitter.jpg]]</ref>

In the final days of Season 9, ''My Little Pony'' offered fans other ways to engage with the franchise. One of which was the comic book series from IDW Publishing, which moving forward, was to promote its publication with the Hasbro approved tagline of "Season 10".<ref>''[[Wikipedia:My Little Pony (IDW Publishing)]]''</ref> Chris was not having it:

{{quotebox|Dear @Hasbro, #MLPFiM G4 Needs to have its Seasons 10 to 14 Animated in Chronicling; Not Just Comic Books. This is Celestia, Luna, and Princess Twilight’s Command, as well as the Command of all of the Deities between both dimensions. To leave it as simply @IDWPublishing comics is very much an insult.<ref>[[October 2019 social media posts#Chris complains about the MLP comics]]</ref>}}

On 12 [[October 2019]], ''Friendship is Magic'' aired its final episode – with no allusions to the forthcoming Akan or Round Table of Princesses. By the following month, Chris remained in the first of the five stages of grief:
{{quotebox|I will also comment that I have not at all yet watched the Season 9 three-part finale at all (the mild spoiler imagery is not helpful) until after Season 10 of Gen4 #MLPFiM is aired on Discovery Family in 2020, and proper full announcements have been made in this dimension by @Hasbro and the people therein of the show. I eagerly await hearing this confirmation from the News Sources. Princess Celestia Has commanded you all before as well of this.<ref name=nog5></ref>}}

On 20 [[April 2020]] Hasbro released the Friendship is Forever series which was a clip show of MLP G4 and added a little bit more context to the last episode of the series. Chris ([[Spirit possession|roleplaying]] as [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]]) responded to this new in celebration most likely because he thought it was G4’s return. After a few minutes Chris followed up his original response by changing his original prediction from [[October 2019]] to align with the current news, implying that his original prediction was wrong.<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1252422902055493632</ref>Chris attempted to take credit for the news as he had made a card in his TSSSF Nightstar and Friends Expansion pack about Season 10 of MLP G4 coming in [[April 2020]], but Friendship is Forever and tenth season of MLP G4 are clearly two different things.<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1252423951071866880</ref>
{{quotebox|Hmm. Actually, with consent from Mama, let me add a bit further: MORE of “Friendship Is Magic”, Delay of Gen 5, falling of #GOPony, and this now in April. And her Fifth Bonus card in her #TSSSF Nightstar & Friends Expansion that was put together months ago...
Can you say Kra-Kow?}}

According to Chris ([[Spirit possession|roleplaying]] as [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]]) in [[August 2020]], he had finished viewing Season 9:
{{quoteboxyellow|Yes, Mama has reluctantly watched the future episode of the season that was very much premature on being chronicled and shown at all.<ref>[[Discord Q&A 2#"Sonichu"'s replies]]</ref>}}

==GOPony==
{{quote|NO. #MLPFiMSeason10to14 is what we need; Not this GO! [[DIRTY, CRAPPED BRIEFS|Crap]].|Chris is deadly serious<ref>[[November 2019 social media posts#Not this GO! Crap]]</ref>}}
[[File:NightStarProtest.jpg|thumb|right|The pony equivalent of protesting to [[Godbear|God]] about doomsday being inevitable.]]
Surprisingly, Chris actually predicted one thing correctly, back in August 2018:
{{quotebox|G5 will be like Teen Titans Go, or the Sonic Boom video game; it will be downhill. I have foreseen it. Celestia has foreseen it. EVERYBODY with the Power has foreseen it.<ref>[[August 2018 social media posts#MLP protest part 3]]</ref>}}

On 13 November 2019, Hasbro, having ignored Chris's previous warnings, announced ''My Little Pony: Pony Life'' – a chibi spin-off of ''Friendship is Magic'', intended as a stopgap between G4 and G5. An upset Chris took to Twitter and spammed Hasbro, along with users showing any kind of interest in the show, with repeated complaints:

{{quotebox|And [''Pony Life''] is another reason why G5 gets delayed until 2025, and we get #MLPFiMSeason14 before then, with Seasons 10 to 13 before then. I Know you can hear us, and that you read these, @Hasbro. Celestia Has Talked With You All. Don’t be Corporate Greeds. ⚡️💙⚡️<ref>[[November 2019 social media posts#Chris targets Pony Life]]</ref>}}

Henceforth, Chris went on to mockingly dub the new series "GOPony", due to its similarity to Cartoon Network's [[Wikipedia:Teen Titans Go! (TV series)|''Teen Titans Go!'']]. He elaborated that the two shows coexist in the same "jerkish" dimension:
{{quotebox|Actually, it is literally linked in the same Dimension as Teen Titans GO, and they are ALL Jerkish. This #GOPony show is simply Not Good At All. It needs to remain OFF THE AIR, Period.<ref>[[November 2019 social media posts#Pony Life is the same dimension as Teen Titans Go!]]</ref>}}

Having no impact in the real world, Chris retreated to C-197, where he recruited Night Star, Kun T’Nyuget and various major characters from the series to picket outside Hasbro's corporate headquarters and in Equestria. His imaginary protests were depicted in TSSSF cards, published on 16 November – one of which portrays Chris and Night Star confronting the "greedy" Hasbro executives and convincing them to renew G4;<ref>[[November 2019 social media posts#Chris issues a death threat against a cartoon]]</ref> Hasbro is yet to issue a statement in the ''real world'' regarding this change of direction.

[[File:CWC GoPony reaction.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Chris's reaction to ''Pony Life'''s premiere, June 2020.]]
Chris continued to spam Twitter with complaints about ''Pony Life'' well into [[2020]] – especially with the the #GOPony hashtag.<ref>[https://twitter.com/search?f=live&q=(%23GOPony)%20(from%3Acpu_cwcsonichu)&src=typed_query Twitter search for Chris's use of #GoPony]</ref>

Unable to attend [[BABSCon]] due to the [[COVID-19]] pandemic, Chris claimed to have [[Spirit possession#Sonichu|swapped bodies]] with [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] in [[March 2020]], in order to attend the convention in C-197.<ref>[[April 2020 social media posts#Chris body swaps with Sonichu to cope with missing BABScon]]</ref> On 21 [[June 2020]], with Chris still in C-197, the first episode of ''Pony Life'' premiered. "Sonichu" viewed the episode and posted a selfie of him with a cartoonish frown on his face to express his displeasure:

{{quoteboxyellow|Literally the face I simply can not help but make as I watch the first episode of #GOPony. UGH! Freaking @Hasbro executives! 😠⚡🔥

What did Mama say Months ago? That’s right: #GOPony is confirmed Epic Garbage! Ugh! I am soo upset and angry over this abomination! Do you hear me, @Hasbro? EPIC Garbage!<ref>[[June 2020 social media posts#Deity-level awful]]</ref>}}

As of [[August 2020]], Chris's most recent protest was on 21 June 2020;<ref>[[June 2020 social media posts#MLP is not for babies]]</ref> however, he remains committed to both his ''Pony Life'' boycott and his delusion that ''Friendship is Magic'' will return to television screens. Only time will tell how he will react when he realizes the futility of his campaign, or whether his vitriol against the series will reach the [[26 December 2014|same levels]] as the [[Sonic Boom Protests]].

==G5 Approaches==
Chris’ continued to descend into denial as more G5 content began to come out. On 5 [[February 2021]], the synopsis for the MLP G5 movie and series was released. Chris ([[Spirit possession|roleplaying]] as [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]]) commented on this synopsis on 6 [[February 2021]], stating that G5 was more of a continuation of G4 instead of it being its own standalone generation, therefore making his prediction correct.<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1358146677706805254</ref> This doesn’t line up with Chris’ original prediction as it included that the main 6 characters of the show would all become alicorns and G5 would be delayed to 2025.

25 [[February 2021]] was a significant day for Chris. Screenshots from the MLP G5 movie were leaked and spread around the brony community like wildfire. After several months of roleplaying as Sonichu, this leaked stopped Chris from roleplaying so he could respond to the leak.<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1365027058355752962</ref> This was mostly likely because Chris believes that his “goddess authority” would make Hasbro listen to him. One of Chris’ first reactions to the G5 leaks was him agreeing that it was leftist propaganda. {{quotebox|Even moreso why G5 is a really deity-level awful idea, @Hasbro. We are very much opposed to it, even Princess Twilight Sparkle, herself, in Equestria. I Know, because I have been there and talked with her, Celestia, Luna and everyone else, personally. ⚡️💙⚡️<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1365026138200940549</ref>}}

Chris began to show his disapproval on multiple post showing excitement for the G5 leaked content. Chris then began to call G5, a “G3 remake” despite looking very little like G3.<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1365112078315499522</ref> Chris most likely thought that G5 looked like G3 because characters in both series have wide noes. Chris went on to make a post urging bronies and Hasbro that G5 would be bad and if it were released, the world would end.<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1365073756893425669</ref> However, the hype for the new series continued to grow in the fandom and members of the community that Chris admired, such as Dr. Wolf, made videos discussing their enthusiasm for the series. This, along with the [[Merge]] not happening, caused Chris to leave twitter- {{quotebox|Hey, y’all. I am going to stay off of Twitter for a while until When #NotMLPG5ItsMLPG3Remake is confirmed Cancelled. @Hasbro, you listen up and Cancel MLPG5 Now, please.<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1365352632454414337</ref>}} -for a day.<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1365802071333699591</ref>

On 1 [[March 2021]], Chris retweeted his post from 25 [[February 2021]] and once again urging Hasbro to cancel G5 immediately.<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1366488173375815681</ref>

[[File:Hasbro Protest.jpg|thumb|400px|"When do we want it?!" "Later!"]]

The '''''My Little Pony'' Protests''' are a [[Sonic Boom Protests|nonviolent]] series of tweets, videos and other media with the intention of persuading Hasbro—the owners of the ''[[My Little Pony]]'' franchise—to continue producing five more seasons of their animated series, ''Friendship is Magic'' in lieu of rebooting the franchise into its fifth generation, and as of late [[2019]], to cancel the spin-off series, ''My Little Pony: Pony Life''.

[[Chris]], of course, remains the only active participant since [[August 2018]]. [[CPU Blue Heart|Being quite the big shot in C-197]], he has conveyed that the aims of the protests are a means of preserving his [[imaginary friends]] in the ''Pony'' realm of Equestria; or simply put to everyone else, he refuses to accept that his favorite cartoon has concluded without his approval.

Having become seasoned in campaigns, such as the "Sonic Boom Protests" and [[HarassCWCdirectly|#HarassCWCdirectly]], the Hasbro Protests are one of Chris's most [[Chris and reality|out of touch ventures]] to date. Fortunately, [[Chris and the law|in his own best interests]], he is proceeding with the demonstrations in a more restrained manner than [[26 December 2014|previous endeavors]].

==Background==
{{main|My Little Pony|Chris and reality}}
[[File:VariousBronyConArt.jpg|thumb|left|250px|An example of Chris's chronicles in Equestria, which he perceives as reality.]]

''My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic'' was the fourth generation (or G4) of the Hasbro property, which aired from 10 October 2010 to 12 October 2019;<ref>''[[Wikipedia:My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]''</ref> by definition, it was Chris's favorite show of the [[2010s]]. His history with the franchise is a particularly rich one: he [[My Little Pony#Chris and ponies|initially got invested]] with the franchise to get [[Love Quest|closer]] with [[Megan]], but he was still a fan even long after she stopped speaking with him. Years later, Chris attended [[BronyCon 2017|three]] [[BronyCon 2018|BronyCon]] [[BronyCon 2019|conventions]], his Mary Sue [[OC]], [[Night Star]], would [[Sonichu 12-9|partly take on the mantle]] of [[Sonichu (comic)|his adventures]] in Equestria, and he was [[TF2 Analysis|publicly ostracized]] by several members of the brony analyst community.

According to Chris, in Equestria, he is an Alicorn—a Pegasus/Unicorn hybrid usually attributed to [[Chris and religion|almighty characters]] in the series—and has a strong rapport with the main characters, in addition to Night Star.<ref>[[September 2018 social media posts#Chris and his many counterparts]]</ref><ref name=PAJ>[[August 2018 social media posts#Swear your fealty to Princess Applejack]]</ref> Elements of his delusions frequently seep back into [[reality]], which is how articles such as these come to exist in the first place.

On 13 [[August 2018]], Chris commenced his campaign with a statement and video posted via Twitter.<ref name=proteststart>[[August 2018 social media posts#Chris starts his Pony Protest]]</ref>

In his opening statement, Chris declared that he had [[Dreams|foreseen a possible future timeline]] in C-197, in which a spell intended to ascend [[:File:SchuComic12-9Page35.JPG|Applejack]] (who was in G4 an "Earth Pony", ie. a normal horse that's neither a Pegasus nor a Unicorn) to become an Alicorn backfires, causing the incumbent Alicorn, [[:File:SchuComic12-9Page30.JPG|Twilight Sparkle]], to transfer her wings and horn to [[:File:SchuComic12-9Page16-min.jpg|Pinkie Pie]] (who was in G4 an Earth Pony) and [[:File:Night Star crossover MLP.jpeg|Fluttershy]] (who was in G4 a Pegasus), respectively; this was apparently where G4 would transition to G5. On a more tangible note, Chris seems to have based his concerns on a single concept image for G5, which may or may not be official anyway.<ref name=deviant></ref> Chris's delusional theory falls flat, considering that the alleged G5 art of Fluttershy has removed her wings.

Twilight becoming an Earth Pony (SIMPLY UNFORGIVABLE!), and the horns and wings being lost and swapped between Twilight, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy.

I just did a reset to prevent that from happening.

Heed Our Warning, Hasbro! Applejack MUST become an Alicorn Princess, and Twilight must NEVER become an Earth Pony!

'''Transcript'''

Hey there everybody this is Christine Chandler coming to you live from home once again. People of Earth [[1218]] heed my warning! Spoiler alert, I have seen the future and I had to prevent it!

Princess Twilight Sparkle was about to upgrade Applejack to Alicorn status by-c-by order of Princess Celestia. Because a-Applejack is gonna come upon her own magic in a few days. But it backfires and instead of Applejack becoming Alicorn, period, Twilight's Wings get put onto Pinkie Pie and Twilight's horn gets onto Fluttershy and it's just no GOOOOOOD, and that's how we end up with that FRICKIN' G5!

We must prevent this! This is not gonna work out and I have foreseen this. This is very, very bad. So I had just confirmed with Twilight and Princess Celestia as well and... Celestia and I are in agreement as she has seen the future as well... We must prevent this G5 mistake from ever happening. And yes, G4 will continue... Applejack is the next Alicorn princess and she must become that without flaw. And so Celestia will take it upon herself to... upgrade Applejack as well.

But anyway. Heed my word, Hasbro! And everybody on the MLP show! Generation 5 must NEVER HAPPEN! And G4 must have at least 5 more seasons. And Applejack will become an Alicorn princess...

Heed this! Heed our warning! This is an official command from your CPU Blue Heart in agreement with Princess Celestia of Equestria all of which in our sister dimension.

[''nods, pauses'']

Thank you.

==Chris's premonitions==
[[File:PrincessAJ2.jpg|thumb|right|Because if Chris has portrayed it, it ''must'' be canon.]]

The rest of August 2018 saw Chris continually ranting about five more seasons of ''Friendship is Magic''. He eventually explained that if G4 was to be cancelled, the mishap stated in his video would occur, leaving Equestria vulnerable to [[Akan]] – the villain of ''Hardcore Henry'' and [[Sonichu 13|''Sonichu'' #13]], as instilled by the Idea Guys. G5 would follow said events, resulting in Akan's invasion extending into [[1218|our universe]]:
{{quotebox|The separation of the species, and the aggression is the future Celestia had seen should G5 continue and G4 end. Twilight will become an Earth Pony, and then with her unable to defend Equestria, Akan and his forces will overpower Equestria, and in the G5 show, in all the ”action” and “cool looks” and all that, Akan’s message of worshipping him as leader of all worlds will be broadcasted subliminally, and his reign will spread into Our World from our Sister Dimension there!<ref name=part6></ref>}}

It was during this wall of tweets when he started tagging the show's voice actors. It remains unknown whether the actors took notice of Chris's posts, but Hasbro certainly didn't.

[[File:AkanOC.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Never mind [[Dragon Ball Z|Goku]] or the [[Power Rangers]]. Only cartoon horses can defeat Akan.]]
On the other hand, Chris offered insight into what would be in store if the show was to continue. He believed that by the end of Season 14, all the main characters would become Alicorns, as part of a King Arthur-esque "Round Table of the Princesses of Harmony":
{{quotebox|[The] rest of the Mane Six are destined to join Princess Twilight and the soon-to-be Princess of Honesty, Applejack, as Alicorns, themselves during that time frame. Their Stories MUST be told and continued. The Reboot will ONLY just Kill the timeline of ours that will simply stifle the originals’ growth, as well as throw Both of or dimensions into a chaos that must never ever take place, @Hasbro.<ref name=part2></ref>}}

Despite Hasbro neither confirming nor denying a new season beyond 9, on 22 August, Chris went ahead with the good ending regardless:
{{quotebox|Everybody! Mark this day at about 4:10 pm, Eastern Standard Time; I saw it as it happened, as Celestia and Twilight had Applejack in her hall of memories. Without a hitch or backfire, Princess Applejack of Honesty, has arisen! And Princess Twilight remains an Alicorn!}}
{{quotebox|Everybody of this world, you all may congratulate Princess Applejack in shouting, social media sharing, or you can even write a letter directly to her (no address or stamp required; just your hand writing and signature and a moment to let your link shine for her to get the message.

All Hail Princess Applejack! All Hail the Equestria Princesses of Harmony! All Hail the continuation of MLP G4 as well!<ref>[[August 2018 social media posts#Applejack becomes an Alicorn]]</ref>}}

He even attended the coronation:
{{quotebox|Well, everyone, I was just there, in my Ponysona, sitting with Nightstar, [[Kun]] and [[September 2018 social media posts#Zap Note|Zap Note]] in the front row in Canterlot; our Princess Applejack, of Honesty, has been coronated! Everyone praise her today! Yeee-Haw!<ref name=PAJ></ref>}}
The battle was won, at least in Chris's mind, but the war was not yet over.

Later, in [[November 2019]], Chris immortalized his pseudo-canon as part of his

==''Friendship is Magic'' ends==
[[File:ChrisTF2.jpg|thumb|250px|Imagine being one of the VIPs at a convention, and one of your fans tells you that you would continue voicing a role because the character you voice communicated her demands from another dimension to said fan. That was voice actress Nicole Oliver in 2019.]]

On 16 February 2019, ''My Little Pony'' confirmed that Season 9 would be their final one.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/mylittlepony/posts/2652914364725984:0</ref> Chris's campaign reemerged in the June of that year; in his second wave of protests, he pulled the [[Chris and politics|"Big, Greedy Corporation" card]] as his excuse for Hasbro not budging:
{{quotebox|On the Good News: Everyone At Hasbro has received, either directly from Celestia, herself, or from those of us in the fandom, communities and then some and so forth. BUT, apparently, there are Some at Hasbro who do not believe in Fate and Destiny events, in addition to their monetary greed (no surprise).<ref name=june19>[[June 2019 social media posts#Chris resumes the My Little Pony Protests]]</ref>}}

Failing to understand that companies delegate productions to other studios to meet time and budget constraints, he advised his fellow campaigners to boycott the new (canon) television special:
{{quotebox|The upcoming MLP Special, [[Wikipedia:My Little Pony: Rainbow Roadtrip|Rainbow Roadtrip]], as it was made by a different media company: Please, Boycott Watching It, as well as Any and all Uploaded Video Content of this show.
Typically, I am not one to bad mouth about that which has no hatred content in it, BUT this is a Royal Request.<ref name=june19></ref>}}

At the [[BronyCon 2019|final BronyCon]] in [[August 2019]], Chris [[BronyCon 2019#Meeting Nicole Oliver|relayed to Princess Celestia voice actress, Nicole Oliver]], that her contract would be extended (note: Chris assumed the identity of [[Magi-Chan]] during the following post):
{{quoteboxpurple|Celestia and Luna are a long way from retiring. As @CPU_CWCSonichu has personally told @mouthnoize at BronyCon, “The Reirement [''sic''] is not in.”<ref>[[September 2019 social media posts#Chris spoke to VA about the Pony Protests]]</ref>}}
Nicole Oliver later blocked Chris on Twitter for undisclosed reasons.<ref>[[:File:NicoleOliverTwitter.jpg]]</ref>

In the final days of Season 9, ''My Little Pony'' offered fans other ways to engage with the franchise. One of which was the comic book series from IDW Publishing, which moving forward, was to promote its publication with the Hasbro approved tagline of "Season 10".<ref>''[[Wikipedia:My Little Pony (IDW Publishing)]]''</ref> Chris was not having it:

{{quotebox|Dear @Hasbro, #MLPFiM G4 Needs to have its Seasons 10 to 14 Animated in Chronicling; Not Just Comic Books. This is Celestia, Luna, and Princess Twilight’s Command, as well as the Command of all of the Deities between both dimensions. To leave it as simply @IDWPublishing comics is very much an insult.<ref>[[October 2019 social media posts#Chris complains about the MLP comics]]</ref>}}

On 12 [[October 2019]], ''Friendship is Magic'' aired its final episode – with no allusions to the forthcoming Akan or Round Table of Princesses. By the following month, Chris remained in the first of the five stages of grief:
{{quotebox|I will also comment that I have not at all yet watched the Season 9 three-part finale at all (the mild spoiler imagery is not helpful) until after Season 10 of Gen4 #MLPFiM is aired on Discovery Family in 2020, and proper full announcements have been made in this dimension by @Hasbro and the people therein of the show. I eagerly await hearing this confirmation from the News Sources. Princess Celestia Has commanded you all before as well of this.<ref name=nog5></ref>}}

On 20 [[April 2020]] Hasbro released the Friendship is Forever series which was a clip show of MLP G4 and added a little bit more context to the last episode of the series. Chris ([[Spirit possession|roleplaying]] as [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]]) responded to this new in celebration most likely because he thought it was G4’s return. After a few minutes Chris followed up his original response by changing his original prediction from [[October 2019]] to align with the current news, implying that his original prediction was wrong.<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1252422902055493632</ref>Chris attempted to take credit for the news as he had made a card in his TSSSF Nightstar and Friends Expansion pack about Season 10 of MLP G4 coming in [[April 2020]], but Friendship is Forever and tenth season of MLP G4 are clearly two different things.<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1252423951071866880</ref>
{{quotebox|Hmm. Actually, with consent from Mama, let me add a bit further: MORE of “Friendship Is Magic”, Delay of Gen 5, falling of #GOPony, and this now in April. And her Fifth Bonus card in her #TSSSF Nightstar & Friends Expansion that was put together months ago...
Can you say Kra-Kow?}}

According to Chris ([[Spirit possession|roleplaying]] as [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]]) in [[August 2020]], he had finished viewing Season 9:
{{quoteboxyellow|Yes, Mama has reluctantly watched the future episode of the season that was very much premature on being chronicled and shown at all.<ref>[[Discord Q&A 2#"Sonichu"'s replies]]</ref>}}

==GOPony==
{{quote|NO. #MLPFiMSeason10to14 is what we need; Not this GO! [[DIRTY, CRAPPED BRIEFS|Crap]].|Chris is deadly serious<ref>[[November 2019 social media posts#Not this GO! Crap]]</ref>}}
[[File:NightStarProtest.jpg|thumb|right|The pony equivalent of protesting to [[Godbear|God]] about doomsday being inevitable.]]
Surprisingly, Chris actually predicted one thing correctly, back in August 2018:
{{quotebox|G5 will be like Teen Titans Go, or the Sonic Boom video game; it will be downhill. I have foreseen it. Celestia has foreseen it. EVERYBODY with the Power has foreseen it.<ref>[[August 2018 social media posts#MLP protest part 3]]</ref>}}

On 13 November 2019, Hasbro, having ignored Chris's previous warnings, announced ''My Little Pony: Pony Life'' – a chibi spin-off of ''Friendship is Magic'', intended as a stopgap between G4 and G5. An upset Chris took to Twitter and spammed Hasbro, along with users showing any kind of interest in the show, with repeated complaints:

{{quotebox|And [''Pony Life''] is another reason why G5 gets delayed until 2025, and we get #MLPFiMSeason14 before then, with Seasons 10 to 13 before then. I Know you can hear us, and that you read these, @Hasbro. Celestia Has Talked With You All. Don’t be Corporate Greeds. ⚡️💙⚡️<ref>[[November 2019 social media posts#Chris targets Pony Life]]</ref>}}

Henceforth, Chris went on to mockingly dub the new series "GOPony", due to its similarity to Cartoon Network's [[Wikipedia:Teen Titans Go! (TV series)|''Teen Titans Go!'']]. He elaborated that the two shows coexist in the same "jerkish" dimension:
{{quotebox|Actually, it is literally linked in the same Dimension as Teen Titans GO, and they are ALL Jerkish. This #GOPony show is simply Not Good At All. It needs to remain OFF THE AIR, Period.<ref>[[November 2019 social media posts#Pony Life is the same dimension as Teen Titans Go!]]</ref>}}

Having no impact in the real world, Chris retreated to C-197, where he recruited Night Star, Kun T’Nyuget and various major characters from the series to picket outside Hasbro's corporate headquarters and in Equestria. His imaginary protests were depicted in TSSSF cards, published on 16 November – one of which portrays Chris and Night Star confronting the "greedy" Hasbro executives and convincing them to renew G4;<ref>[[November 2019 social media posts#Chris issues a death threat against a cartoon]]</ref> Hasbro is yet to issue a statement in the ''real world'' regarding this change of direction.

[[File:CWC GoPony reaction.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Chris's reaction to ''Pony Life'''s premiere, June 2020.]]
Chris continued to spam Twitter with complaints about ''Pony Life'' well into [[2020]] – especially with the the #GOPony hashtag.<ref>[https://twitter.com/search?f=live&q=(%23GOPony)%20(from%3Acpu_cwcsonichu)&src=typed_query Twitter search for Chris's use of #GoPony]</ref>

Unable to attend [[BABSCon]] due to the [[COVID-19]] pandemic, Chris claimed to have [[Spirit possession#Sonichu|swapped bodies]] with [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] in [[March 2020]], in order to attend the convention in C-197.<ref>[[April 2020 social media posts#Chris body swaps with Sonichu to cope with missing BABScon]]</ref> On 21 [[June 2020]], with Chris still in C-197, the first episode of ''Pony Life'' premiered. "Sonichu" viewed the episode and posted a selfie of him with a cartoonish frown on his face to express his displeasure:

{{quoteboxyellow|Literally the face I simply can not help but make as I watch the first episode of #GOPony. UGH! Freaking @Hasbro executives! 😠⚡🔥

What did Mama say Months ago? That’s right: #GOPony is confirmed Epic Garbage! Ugh! I am soo upset and angry over this abomination! Do you hear me, @Hasbro? EPIC Garbage!<ref>[[June 2020 social media posts#Deity-level awful]]</ref>}}

As of [[August 2020]], Chris's most recent protest was on 21 June 2020;<ref>[[June 2020 social media posts#MLP is not for babies]]</ref> however, he remains committed to both his ''Pony Life'' boycott and his delusion that ''Friendship is Magic'' will return to television screens. Only time will tell how he will react when he realizes the futility of his campaign, or whether his vitriol against the series will reach the [[26 December 2014|same levels]] as the [[Sonic Boom Protests]].

[[File:Hasbro Protest.jpg|thumb|400px|"When do we want it?!" "Later!"]]

The '''''My Little Pony'' Protests''' are a [[Sonic Boom Protests|nonviolent]] series of tweets, videos and other media with the intention of persuading Hasbro—the owners of the ''[[My Little Pony]]'' franchise—to continue producing five more seasons of their animated series, ''Friendship is Magic'' in lieu of rebooting the franchise into its fifth generation, and as of late [[2019]], to cancel the spin-off series, ''My Little Pony: Pony Life''.

[[Chris]], of course, remains the only active participant since [[August 2018]]. [[CPU Blue Heart|Being quite the big shot in C-197]], he has conveyed that the aims of the protests are a means of preserving his [[imaginary friends]] in the ''Pony'' realm of Equestria; or simply put to everyone else, he refuses to accept that his favorite cartoon has concluded without his approval.

Having become seasoned in campaigns, such as the "Sonic Boom Protests" and [[HarassCWCdirectly|#HarassCWCdirectly]], the Hasbro Protests are one of Chris's most [[Chris and reality|out of touch ventures]] to date. Fortunately, [[Chris and the law|in his own best interests]], he is proceeding with the demonstrations in a more restrained manner than [[26 December 2014|previous endeavors]].

==Background==
{{main|My Little Pony|Chris and reality}}
[[File:VariousBronyConArt.jpg|thumb|left|250px|An example of Chris's chronicles in Equestria, which he perceives as reality.]]

''My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic'' was the fourth generation (or G4) of the Hasbro property, which aired from 10 October 2010 to 12 October 2019;<ref>''[[Wikipedia:My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]''</ref> by definition, it was Chris's favorite show of the [[2010s]]. His history with the franchise is a particularly rich one: he [[My Little Pony#Chris and ponies|initially got invested]] with the franchise to get [[Love Quest|closer]] with [[Megan]], but he was still a fan even long after she stopped speaking with him. Years later, Chris attended [[BronyCon 2017|three]] [[BronyCon 2018|BronyCon]] [[BronyCon 2019|conventions]], his Mary Sue [[OC]], [[Night Star]], would [[Sonichu 12-9|partly take on the mantle]] of [[Sonichu (comic)|his adventures]] in Equestria, and he was [[TF2 Analysis|publicly ostracized]] by several members of the brony analyst community.

Made especially clear after the [[Idea Guys]]' manipulations in early [[2018]], when faced with [[Financhu Crisis|injustices]] [[List of places that have banned Chris|in the]] [[Trolls|real world]], one of Chris's main coping mechanisms is escaping to his fantasy world of [[C-197]], where he is an [[CPU Blue Heart|omnipotent, revered deity]], and his denizens are various OCs and other fictional characters. According to Chris, in Equestria, he is an Alicorn—a Pegasus/Unicorn hybrid usually attributed to [[Chris and religion|almighty characters]] in the series—and has a strong rapport with the main characters, in addition to Night Star.<ref>[[September 2018 social media posts#Chris and his many counterparts]]</ref><ref name=PAJ>[[August 2018 social media posts#Swear your fealty to Princess Applejack]]</ref> Elements of his delusions frequently seep back into [[reality]], which is how articles such as these come to exist in the first place.

Rumors of a fifth generation were appearing as early as January 2018;<ref name=deviant>https://www.deviantart.com/liaaqila/journal/MLP-G5-LEAKS-MANE-6-DESIGN-CONCEPT-724818335</ref> in due course, they caught the attention of Chris. To him, the end of ''Friendship is Magic'' is not just the conclusion of his favorite contemporary cartoon, but the end of his sporadic social life in safe spaces such as BronyCon, among [[Other Pony events|other gatherings]] stemming from the series. Inwardly, he interprets the end of G4 as a threat to his airtight coping mechanism, as he claims the shift to a new canon in the form of G5 would see the perpetual stagnation or demise of C-197.<ref name=part2>[[August 2018 social media posts#MLP protest part 2]]</ref><ref name=part6>[[August 2018 social media posts#MLP protest part 6]]</ref>

Weeks prior to his opening protest, Chris attended BronyCon 2018, where the staff announced that [[2019]] would see their final convention.<ref>https://twitter.com/BronyCon/status/1023675000132259840</ref> This, compounded with the [[Stress|looming dread]] of G4 ending, may have been the catalyst for him to [[Megatron pistol|take arms]] and get Hasbro's attention. For Chris, Hasbro not succumbing to his demands would be to defy his self-proclaimed divinity. Though his decision to campaign was purely of his own accord, he asserts that the continuation of G4 was demanded by the highest order in Equestria – the Princesses of Equestria.<ref>[[August 2018 social media posts#MLP protest part 4]]</ref>

==Video==
On 13 [[August 2018]], Chris commenced his campaign with a statement and video posted via Twitter.<ref name=proteststart>[[August 2018 social media posts#Chris starts his Pony Protest]]</ref>

In his opening statement, Chris declared that he had [[Dreams|foreseen a possible future timeline]] in C-197, in which a spell intended to ascend [[:File:SchuComic12-9Page35.JPG|Applejack]] (who was in G4 an "Earth Pony", ie. a normal horse that's neither a Pegasus nor a Unicorn) to become an Alicorn backfires, causing the incumbent Alicorn, [[:File:SchuComic12-9Page30.JPG|Twilight Sparkle]], to transfer her wings and horn to [[:File:SchuComic12-9Page16-min.jpg|Pinkie Pie]] (who was in G4 an Earth Pony) and [[:File:Night Star crossover MLP.jpeg|Fluttershy]] (who was in G4 a Pegasus), respectively; this was apparently where G4 would transition to G5. On a more tangible note, Chris seems to have based his concerns on a single concept image for G5, which may or may not be official anyway.<ref name=deviant></ref> Chris's delusional theory falls flat, considering that the alleged G5 art of Fluttershy has removed her wings.

But anyway. Heed my word, Hasbro! And everybody on the MLP show! Generation 5 must NEVER HAPPEN! And G4 must have at least 5 more seasons. And Applejack will become an Alicorn princess...

Heed this! Heed our warning! This is an official command from your CPU Blue Heart in agreement with Princess Celestia of Equestria all of which in our sister dimension.

[''nods, pauses'']

Thank you.

==Chris's premonitions==
[[File:PrincessAJ2.jpg|thumb|right|Because if Chris has portrayed it, it ''must'' be canon.]]

The rest of August 2018 saw Chris continually ranting about five more seasons of ''Friendship is Magic''. He eventually explained that if G4 was to be cancelled, the mishap stated in his video would occur, leaving Equestria vulnerable to [[Akan]] – the villain of ''Hardcore Henry'' and [[Sonichu 13|''Sonichu'' #13]], as instilled by the Idea Guys. G5 would follow said events, resulting in Akan's invasion extending into [[1218|our universe]]:
{{quotebox|The separation of the species, and the aggression is the future Celestia had seen should G5 continue and G4 end. Twilight will become an Earth Pony, and then with her unable to defend Equestria, Akan and his forces will overpower Equestria, and in the G5 show, in all the ”action” and “cool looks” and all that, Akan’s message of worshipping him as leader of all worlds will be broadcasted subliminally, and his reign will spread into Our World from our Sister Dimension there!<ref name=part6></ref>}}

It was during this wall of tweets when he started tagging the show's voice actors. It remains unknown whether the actors took notice of Chris's posts, but Hasbro certainly didn't.

[[File:AkanOC.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Never mind [[Dragon Ball Z|Goku]] or the [[Power Rangers]]. Only cartoon horses can defeat Akan.]]
On the other hand, Chris offered insight into what would be in store if the show was to continue. He believed that by the end of Season 14, all the main characters would become Alicorns, as part of a King Arthur-esque "Round Table of the Princesses of Harmony":
{{quotebox|[The] rest of the Mane Six are destined to join Princess Twilight and the soon-to-be Princess of Honesty, Applejack, as Alicorns, themselves during that time frame. Their Stories MUST be told and continued. The Reboot will ONLY just Kill the timeline of ours that will simply stifle the originals’ growth, as well as throw Both of or dimensions into a chaos that must never ever take place, @Hasbro.<ref name=part2></ref>}}

Despite Hasbro neither confirming nor denying a new season beyond 9, on 22 August, Chris went ahead with the good ending regardless:
{{quotebox|Everybody! Mark this day at about 4:10 pm, Eastern Standard Time; I saw it as it happened, as Celestia and Twilight had Applejack in her hall of memories. Without a hitch or backfire, Princess Applejack of Honesty, has arisen! And Princess Twilight remains an Alicorn!}}
{{quotebox|Everybody of this world, you all may congratulate Princess Applejack in shouting, social media sharing, or you can even write a letter directly to her (no address or stamp required; just your hand writing and signature and a moment to let your link shine for her to get the message.

All Hail Princess Applejack! All Hail the Equestria Princesses of Harmony! All Hail the continuation of MLP G4 as well!<ref>[[August 2018 social media posts#Applejack becomes an Alicorn]]</ref>}}

He even attended the coronation:
{{quotebox|Well, everyone, I was just there, in my Ponysona, sitting with Nightstar, [[Kun]] and [[September 2018 social media posts#Zap Note|Zap Note]] in the front row in Canterlot; our Princess Applejack, of Honesty, has been coronated! Everyone praise her today! Yeee-Haw!<ref name=PAJ></ref>}}
The battle was won, at least in Chris's mind, but the war was not yet over.

Later, in [[November 2019]], Chris immortalized his pseudo-canon as part of his
[[Twilight Sparkle's Secret Shipfic Folder]] card collection:<ref name=nog5>[[November 2019 social media posts#Gen5 is not meant to be for Years]]</ref>

==''Friendship is Magic'' ends==
[[File:ChrisTF2.jpg|thumb|250px|Imagine being one of the VIPs at a convention, and one of your fans tells you that you would continue voicing a role because the character you voice communicated her demands from another dimension to said fan. That was voice actress Nicole Oliver in 2019.]]

On 16 February 2019, ''My Little Pony'' confirmed that Season 9 would be their final one.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/mylittlepony/posts/2652914364725984:0</ref> Chris's campaign reemerged in the June of that year; in his second wave of protests, he pulled the [[Chris and politics|"Big, Greedy Corporation" card]] as his excuse for Hasbro not budging:
{{quotebox|On the Good News: Everyone At Hasbro has received, either directly from Celestia, herself, or from those of us in the fandom, communities and then some and so forth. BUT, apparently, there are Some at Hasbro who do not believe in Fate and Destiny events, in addition to their monetary greed (no surprise).<ref name=june19>[[June 2019 social media posts#Chris resumes the My Little Pony Protests]]</ref>}}

Failing to understand that companies delegate productions to other studios to meet time and budget constraints, he advised his fellow campaigners to boycott the new (canon) television special:
{{quotebox|The upcoming MLP Special, [[Wikipedia:My Little Pony: Rainbow Roadtrip|Rainbow Roadtrip]], as it was made by a different media company: Please, Boycott Watching It, as well as Any and all Uploaded Video Content of this show.
Typically, I am not one to bad mouth about that which has no hatred content in it, BUT this is a Royal Request.<ref name=june19></ref>}}

At the [[BronyCon 2019|final BronyCon]] in [[August 2019]], Chris [[BronyCon 2019#Meeting Nicole Oliver|relayed to Princess Celestia voice actress, Nicole Oliver]], that her contract would be extended (note: Chris assumed the identity of [[Magi-Chan]] during the following post):
{{quoteboxpurple|Celestia and Luna are a long way from retiring. As @CPU_CWCSonichu has personally told @mouthnoize at BronyCon, “The Reirement [''sic''] is not in.”<ref>[[September 2019 social media posts#Chris spoke to VA about the Pony Protests]]</ref>}}
Nicole Oliver later blocked Chris on Twitter for undisclosed reasons.<ref>[[:File:NicoleOliverTwitter.jpg]]</ref>

In the final days of Season 9, ''My Little Pony'' offered fans other ways to engage with the franchise. One of which was the comic book series from IDW Publishing, which moving forward, was to promote its publication with the Hasbro approved tagline of "Season 10".<ref>''[[Wikipedia:My Little Pony (IDW Publishing)]]''</ref> Chris was not having it:

{{quotebox|Dear @Hasbro, #MLPFiM G4 Needs to have its Seasons 10 to 14 Animated in Chronicling; Not Just Comic Books. This is Celestia, Luna, and Princess Twilight’s Command, as well as the Command of all of the Deities between both dimensions. To leave it as simply @IDWPublishing comics is very much an insult.<ref>[[October 2019 social media posts#Chris complains about the MLP comics]]</ref>}}

On 12 [[October 2019]], ''Friendship is Magic'' aired its final episode – with no allusions to the forthcoming Akan or Round Table of Princesses. By the following month, Chris remained in the first of the five stages of grief:
{{quotebox|I will also comment that I have not at all yet watched the Season 9 three-part finale at all (the mild spoiler imagery is not helpful) until after Season 10 of Gen4 #MLPFiM is aired on Discovery Family in 2020, and proper full announcements have been made in this dimension by @Hasbro and the people therein of the show. I eagerly await hearing this confirmation from the News Sources. Princess Celestia Has commanded you all before as well of this.<ref name=nog5></ref>}}

On 20 [[April 2020]] Hasbro released the Friendship is Forever series which was a clip show of MLP G4 and added a little bit more context to the last episode of the series. Chris ([[Spirit possession|roleplaying]] as [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]]) responded to this new in celebration most likely because he thought it was G4’s return. After a few minutes Chris followed up his original response by changing his original prediction from October 2019 to align with the current news, implying that his original prediction was wrong.<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1252422902055493632</ref>Chris attempted to take credit for the news as he had made a card in his TSSSF Nightstar and Friends Expansion pack about Season 10 of MLP FiM coming in April 2020, but Friendship is Forever and MLP FiM Season 10 are clearly two different things.<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1252423951071866880</ref>
{{quotebox|Hmm. Actually, with consent from Mama, let me add a bit further: MORE of “Friendship Is Magic”, Delay of Gen 5, falling of #GOPony, and this now in April. And her Fifth Bonus card in her #TSSSF Nightstar & Friends Expansion that was put together months ago...
Can you say Kra-Kow?}}

According to Chris ([[Spirit possession|roleplaying]] as [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]]) in [[August 2020]], he had finished viewing Season 9:
{{quoteboxyellow|Yes, Mama has reluctantly watched the future episode of the season that was very much premature on being chronicled and shown at all.<ref>[[Discord Q&A 2#"Sonichu"'s replies]]</ref>}}

==GOPony==
{{quote|NO. #MLPFiMSeason10to14 is what we need; Not this GO! [[DIRTY, CRAPPED BRIEFS|Crap]].|Chris is deadly serious<ref>[[November 2019 social media posts#Not this GO! Crap]]</ref>}}
[[File:NightStarProtest.jpg|thumb|right|The pony equivalent of protesting to [[Godbear|God]] about doomsday being inevitable.]]
Surprisingly, Chris actually predicted one thing correctly, back in August 2018:
{{quotebox|G5 will be like Teen Titans Go, or the Sonic Boom video game; it will be downhill. I have foreseen it. Celestia has foreseen it. EVERYBODY with the Power has foreseen it.<ref>[[August 2018 social media posts#MLP protest part 3]]</ref>}}

On 13 November 2019, Hasbro, having ignored Chris's previous warnings, announced ''My Little Pony: Pony Life'' – a chibi spin-off of ''Friendship is Magic'', intended as a stopgap between G4 and G5. An upset Chris took to Twitter and spammed Hasbro, along with users showing any kind of interest in the show, with repeated complaints:

{{quotebox|And [''Pony Life''] is another reason why G5 gets delayed until 2025, and we get #MLPFiMSeason14 before then, with Seasons 10 to 13 before then. I Know you can hear us, and that you read these, @Hasbro. Celestia Has Talked With You All. Don’t be Corporate Greeds. ⚡️💙⚡️<ref>[[November 2019 social media posts#Chris targets Pony Life]]</ref>}}

Henceforth, Chris went on to mockingly dub the new series "GOPony", due to its similarity to Cartoon Network's [[Wikipedia:Teen Titans Go! (TV series)|''Teen Titans Go!'']]. He elaborated that the two shows coexist in the same "jerkish" dimension:
{{quotebox|Actually, it is literally linked in the same Dimension as Teen Titans GO, and they are ALL Jerkish. This #GOPony show is simply Not Good At All. It needs to remain OFF THE AIR, Period.<ref>[[November 2019 social media posts#Pony Life is the same dimension as Teen Titans Go!]]</ref>}}

Having no impact in the real world, Chris retreated to C-197, where he recruited Night Star, Kun T’Nyuget and various major characters from the series to picket outside Hasbro's corporate headquarters and in Equestria. His imaginary protests were depicted in TSSSF cards, published on 16 November – one of which portrays Chris and Night Star confronting the "greedy" Hasbro executives and convincing them to renew G4;<ref>[[November 2019 social media posts#Chris issues a death threat against a cartoon]]</ref> Hasbro is yet to issue a statement in the ''real world'' regarding this change of direction.

[[File:CWC GoPony reaction.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Chris's reaction to ''Pony Life'''s premiere, June 2020.]]
Chris continued to spam Twitter with complaints about ''Pony Life'' well into [[2020]] – especially with the the #GOPony hashtag.<ref>[https://twitter.com/search?f=live&q=(%23GOPony)%20(from%3Acpu_cwcsonichu)&src=typed_query Twitter search for Chris's use of #GoPony]</ref>

Unable to attend [[BABSCon]] due to the [[COVID-19]] pandemic, Chris claimed to have [[Spirit possession#Sonichu|swapped bodies]] with [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] in [[March 2020]], in order to attend the convention in C-197.<ref>[[April 2020 social media posts#Chris body swaps with Sonichu to cope with missing BABScon]]</ref> On 21 [[June 2020]], with Chris still in C-197, the first episode of ''Pony Life'' premiered. "Sonichu" viewed the episode and posted a selfie of him with a cartoonish frown on his face to express his displeasure:

{{quoteboxyellow|Literally the face I simply can not help but make as I watch the first episode of #GOPony. UGH! Freaking @Hasbro executives! 😠⚡🔥

As of [[August 2020]], Chris's most recent protest was on 21 June 2020;<ref>[[June 2020 social media posts#MLP is not for babies]]</ref> however, he remains committed to both his ''Pony Life'' boycott and his delusion that ''Friendship is Magic'' will return to television screens. Only time will tell how he will react when he realizes the futility of his campaign, or whether his vitriol against the series will reach the [[26 December 2014|same levels]] as the [[Sonic Boom Protests]].

Dimensional Merge

2021-03-01T14:30:41Z

Protoman00: /* Continued hope in the merge */

:''For the video where Chris talks about the merge, see [[Dimensional Merge Announcements]].''

{{quote|Damn Dimension [[1218]]’s “Reality” Limits and Shit!!!|Chris, after New Year's 2019, disappointed when our reality did not merge with Sonichu's<ref>[[January 2019 social media posts]]</ref>.}}

[[File:Dimensional Merge on freespeechwall-min.jpg|thumb|500px|right|Chris warns downtown [[Charlottesville]] of the impending merge on its Free Speech Wall.]]

The '''Dimensional Merge''' is an escapist fantasy and [[coping]] mechanism for [[Christian Weston Chandler|Chris]]. Originally part of the lore the [[Idea Guys]] had [[brainwashed]] into Chris, the Dimensional Merge is Chris’s latest attempt at avoiding [[reality]], believing that it will rescue him from his self-inflicted life problems and enable him to continue living like a child.

The Merge is an event in which Chris believes that "[[Dimensions#1218|Dimension 1218]]" and "[[Dimensions#C-197|Dimension C-197]]" (respectively, the universe of real life, and the [[Dimensions|parallel universe]] where [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] and other fictional characters live) will combine, [[Chris and reality|bringing fictional characters into reality]]. Chris is convinced that he is the designated liaison of the event and will become a [[Chris and religion|deity]] as a result, giving the appearance of a doomsday cult leader. First announced in [[October 2018]], the Dimensional Merge's beginning on 18 November 2018,<ref name=mergebegins>https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/1064201575994982400</ref> aligning with the 40th anniversary of the {{w|Jonestown|Jonestown mass suicide}}, revealed it to be a [[troll]] fabrication.
The Merge was expected to take place by the end of [[December 2018]]. Naturally, when New Year's came and went, Chris began backpedaling but remained insistent that the Merge would occur. On 29 December 2020, Chris tried again at claiming that the merge was happening<ref>[[December 2020 social media posts#The Merge is apparently on]]</ref> as a coping mechanism for the cancellation of the 2021 [[BABSCon]].

Trolls had put the idea of the Dimensional Merge into Chris's head, and have encouraged it ever since. A [[Teen Troon Squad]] member claimed the idea to have originated with the [[Idea Guys]], but added, "we discouraged the idea at first",<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/posts/4149788/</ref> implying that they later began encouraging Chris to believe. In the months since then, several [[weens]] and [[enablers]] have also pretended to believe in the Merge, enabling Chris and trying to win him over. As the default latching-on point for trolls and the dominant meta-[[saga]] in Chris's life at present, the Dimensional Merge has replaced the classic [[Love Quest]] after its [[polyamorous marriage|surreal conclusion]] in early [[2018]].

== Background ==

[[File:Filthy carpet in Work Room - July 2019.jpg|thumb|x250px|right|Reality, according to Chris.]]

Chris has, for a long time, believed in the existence of one or more alternative universes, where every fictional character lives. He first alluded to this belief during a January 2010 [[Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 2|phone call]] with [[Asperchu|Alec Benson Leary]]. During the call, he told Leary that [[Asperchu/Background|Asperchu]] would surely have negative feelings about his [[Asperger syndrome|own name]], and then repeatedly called Leary “[[naïve]]” for explaining that Asperchu is ''not'' a living, sentient creature who lives in another universe and can independently generate their own thoughts. This is most likely one of the things Chris has [[Things Chris has ripped off|learned]] from [[Chris and television|television]]. More specifically, he offered the 1988 animated comedy film ''{{w|Who Framed Roger Rabbit}}'' to Leary as possible evidence of a “toon world” inhabited by every “published or unpublished” cartoon character.

From then up to the Dimensional Merge saga, Chris has increasingly believed that the fictitious city of [[CWCville]] and [[List of Sonichu characters|his characters]] were real, embracing their alleged existence as a way to “escape” from anything he [[Kick the Autistic|does not like]]. Chris has been spotted conversing, interacting and even [[BronyCon#Dancing with Magi-Chan|dancing]] with his imaginary friends on many occasions.<ref>[https://kiwifarms.net/threads/6-19-eyewitness-account-of-the-debt-hearing.57555/#post-4870932 Re: Eyewitness account of the debt hearing], 19 June 2019 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20190622230219/https://kiwifarms.net/threads/6-19-eyewitness-account-of-the-debt-hearing.57555/#post-4870932 Archived version]).</ref><ref>[https://kiwifarms.net/threads/aug-2017-video-of-chris-dancing-with-magi-chan-at-bronycon-gala.57840/ Aug 2017 - Video of Chris dancing with "Magi-Chan" at BronyCon gala], 27 June 2019 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20190715211102/https://kiwifarms.net/threads/aug-2017-video-of-chris-dancing-with-magi-chan-at-bronycon-gala.57840/ Archived version]).</ref>

Throughout [[2017]], Chris appeared convinced by the [[Idea Guys]] that the Sonichu and [[Hyperdimension Neptunia]] universes actually existed, but in a separate dimension. In [[July 2018]], Chris [[July 2018 social media posts#Earth 1218|tweeted]] at Marvel writer Seanan McGuire, asking him to confirm the "dimension number" of "this Earth". McGuire responded with "Earth 1218", and later clarified that this was the Marvel universe's designation for the real universe. Chris took it as gospel, and subsequently uses "1218" to refer to the actual, existing universe. Weeks later, McGuire reiterated [[August 2018 social media posts#Redesign|once again]] that everything was imaginary, but Chris' response to McGuire and various trolls indicates that he still believes that people such as McGuire can communicate with other dimensions.

Over the summer and fall of 2018, Chris met with the [[Teen Troon Squad]], people who gave him [[Chris and drugs#Cannabis|weed]], pretended to be possessed by Sonichu characters and that the universes would merge.

===Relation to [[Financhu Crisis]]===
Chris believes that he is wealthy in [[CWCville]], and that when the dimensions merge, he will have access to his [[money]] there and he will be able to pay off his current, real-world debts. He has asked to borrow money from people, claiming he will pay back ten times the amount once the merge concludes, not realizing he sounds like a more autistic version of the {{w|Advance-fee scam|Nigerian Prince Scam}}.

On 8 October, Chris tweeted:

{{quotebox|Sometimes I just want to Give Up - but my Loves won't Let Me. If people could help us here, in This World, Monetarily, we would be Okay. I promise all of you, that when That Day Comes, I will reimburse you, Personally, in the Nation of Cwcville.}}

He followed up on 23 October with:

{{quotebox|When the worlds merge I will have access to TONS of savings in Cwcville. It is a lot of money; indeed. 10:1 is my repayment rate!}}

On 24 [[September 2018]], Chris was [[Chris and the law|sued]] by Second Round Sub for unpaid debt, and on 23 [[October 2018]], Midland Funding followed suit. The case for the former was postponed to January, but the verdict on the Midland case was read on 19 [[December 2018]], requiring Chris to pay $2,777.90 at 6% interest and $55 in court costs.

Remarkably, he has done little begging in the wake of the lawsuits. This has surprised many, considering the immense amount of times he has groveled online for money in the years 2016-2018. He has instead chosen to stick his head in the sand and pretend that the Merge will solve all his problems for him.

==Beliefs on the Merge==
{{quote|When I had to go to hospital and stay in hospital with heart complications, Chris sent me a message from his [[MagiChan111448|Magi-Chan Sonichu account]] claiming that my symptoms were associated with affects from the dimensional merge.|[[Aly Hirschberg]].<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/goto/post?id=7227880</ref>}}

[[File:Dimensional Merge math on McDonalds napkin.jpg|thumb|While eating at [[McDonald's]], Chris scribbled down the math for how many people will be killed in the Merge on a napkin.]]

Chris [https://kiwifarms.net/posts/3862765/ announced] the event on 14 [[October 2018]]. On 26 [[October 2018]], Chris posted a video entitled "[[Dimensional Merge Announcements]]" where he outlined the process of 1218 merging with its "sister dimension" C-197, where [[Things Chris has ripped off|every fictional character known to exist]] resides. He believes that once the merge occurs, Earth will be shared by humans and various characters.

On 14 [[November 2018]], Chris made a tweet explaining the survival rates for the inhabitants of the sister dimensions during the merge. Chris explains the population math as follows; 61.25% of the population of dimension C-197 is identical to that of Earth in dimension 1218, the remaining 38.75% of the population of C-197 are OCs which are unique to C-197, all of the OCs of C-197 are guaranteed to survive the merge, at least 51% of the human population of the Earths in both sister dimensions will survive the merge and at least 41% will not with an uncertainty of 8%, the best outcome of the merge would leave 59% of the population of 1218 alive and all of the 38.75% of the OCs of C-197 plus 11.25% of the human population of C-197 in the dimension 1218C197, the dimension 1C-211987 would be left with 109% of 1218's current population leaving approximately 8.365 billion humans and OCs in the new universe.<ref>https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/1062688325130219521</ref>

[[File:DimensionalMergeThanos.jpg|thumb|500px|right|Chris Thanos-ing the two dimensions with the Infinity Gauntlet.]]
Naturally, he [[Chris and his ego|believes that he will be guaranteed survival]] because he "absorbed the spiral seal" from his Sega Dreamcast and is therefore the middleman between the two dimensions. He believes that himself and [[Megan Schroeder|Megan]] are basically deities, and that he will gain superpowers following the merge because of his belief that he is half-Sonichu.

He sent [https://archive.fo/AEDdd dozens of follow-up tweets] further detailing the process, explaining that [[Cwcville]] would replace northern [[Virginia]], Gotham City will replace a portion of New Jersey, and Equestria will take over the entirety of [[BronyCon|Maryland]]. He explained that this will resemble a natural disaster scenario and that mass evacuations may occur during the merge.

On 18 November 2018, Chris announced that the Merge had begun<ref name=mergebegins></ref>. This date coincides with the anniversary of the Jonestown mass suicide, implying that the Idea Guys had originated the Merge concept, as their calling card was inserting infamous historical dates into CWCville lore.

In early [[December 2018]], Chris reported feeling [https://kiwifarms.net/attachments/upload_2018-12-10_8-12-50-png.611515/ "psychic headaches"] and associated the merge with the [https://kiwifarms.net/attachments/cwc-png.611544/ California wildfires and the romaine lettuce recall.] As the merge drew closer, he claimed to have [https://kiwifarms.net/attachments/2-png.619236/ "lightning powers"] and that the "millions of volts" of electricity in his head is evidence that he is half-Sonichu. Without giving a time estimate for the merge, he tried to dispel doubts by [https://kiwifarms.net/attachments/upload_2018-12-22_11-41-7-png.620632/ claiming that he can "touch and feel"] [[Polyamorous marriage|Magi-Chan and Cryzel Rosechu]]. He estimated that the merge would conclude by the year's end.<ref>https://archive.fo/QKq44</ref>

===Magi-Chan doxxing incident===
On Christmas 2018, someone claiming to be Magi-Chan logged into Chris's Twitter, posting a Pastebin dump containing the dox of one of the Teen Troon Squad's members. They also stated that the Merge would actually take place in 20 years due to time dilation, and that Sonichu residents of C-197 would need to hibernate until then.

{{Quotebox|Hello everyone! It is I, Magi-Chan Sonichu. I read the password for this account from Chris' mind.

As you all know, the merge will be happening soon.

I currently have Lukas (my host body) in a trance, so they won't remember typing this out.

The final stage of the merge will involve everyone in our universe disconnecting from your
universe. We will go silent. We must hibernate to tug the universes together.

I have really enjoyed my time in your universe. I want to give thanks to my host body in your world, [redacted]. (Legal name: [redacted].) I want everyone to know what a
gracious host they were. Lukas and Christine and I (and some of our friends) had lots of fun
hanging out with Christine and smoking weed. We used to do it in their old house, but she just moved to a new house at [redacted]. I'm sad I won't be able to smoke weed there until after the merge. If you want to give Lukas a call to let her know how cool she is, she'd really appreciate it. Her number is [redacted].

Her mother Tara raised a brilliant young person. Her mother is also very progressive. I mean, who would have the courage to let their child spend their time smoking weed with someone like Christine, who's nearly twice their age? A really brave mother, that's who.g

Lukas is a really cool person. If you want to end up as brilliant as Lukas, you should also
spend a lot of time opening your mind by role playing and smoking weed with cool people
like Christine.

Anyhoo, praise be for my gracious host aside, here's how the merge will go down:

* everyone disconnects from Earth 1218 for a small period of time
* we hibernate
* and by the end of 2018 in our universe, the universes will be merged

Because of time dilation though, it will take a little bit longer in Earth 1218. By your human calendar in that universe, the merge should be complete by the end of 2038. 2018 here, 2038 in 1218.

In 20 short years, you should start seeing manifestations of what you people so cynically call "fictional characters". You might literally shit your panties when you see Bugs Bunny in real life! (But be polite, he looks a little rough. Makeup on television can work wonders.)

Goodbye for now!

Chris later dismissed the news as fake.

Naturally, New Year's Eve of 2019 was an eagerly awaited moment as the final chance for the cataclysm to occur. In the early morning hours of 1 January 2019, Chris spoke out on Twitter in a New Year's address, explaining that the Merge had not happened on time due to "red tape", betraying some internal bureaucracy in the process of becoming the tranny-goddess of 80s computers.

He remained insistent that the event would still occur, adding in reassurances that the Sonichu-verse was still "Awake" to remind everyone of the Magi-chan doxxing's non-canon status.

{{quotebox|Good New Year, Everyone. I shall make my statement for now, and I Want No Backtalk Or Hateful Commentary.

The Dimension Merge of C-197 and our 1218 is still in progress. There is more damn red tape to work through, but our goal is still set; it is only delayed.

Everyone of C-197 is still very much Awake; we have secured [[Arfoire]] in a magic-proof cell a few days ago. Not even that Witch’s Courier on Facebook can say otherwise, because [[Honor Roll|I Know Better]], and her words shall never get to or sway me any other way.

I still remain the [[CPU]] Blue Heart of the Commodore Consoles, Cwcville and Comma, and Everyone is safe and well. But for now, I shall delay online talk of the Dimension Merge through my Social Media Accounts until further notice.

And I still remain very much married to Magi-Chan Sonichu, Cryzel Rosechu, Sylvana Rosechu, and Mewtwo; there is room for at least one from this Dimension, but there is no rush.

For now, Happy New Year, Everyone.

Dismiss. ⚡️💙⚡️}}

The context behind Chris's aside about [[Jessica Quinn#Versus Idea Guy|Arfoire]] was revealed in screencaps [[Lukas]] leaked on [[/cow/]]. In them, a person purporting to be the Arfoire-possessed Jessica Quinn PMs Chris over Facebook, saying she had tricked Chris into believing in the Merge:

<center><gallery>

</gallery></center>

However, the attached post from Lukas<ref>https://8ch.net/cow/res/687691.html#q690962</ref> suggests that Lukas had been posing as Quinn in an attempt to pass the blame onto her:

{{quoteboxyellow|I’m not even the one who started the merge thing I just tricked my moms sugar daddy into buying Chris’s porn shit here’s screenshots Chris sent to me of texts from Jessica Quinn pretty sure she’s the one}}

Despite Chris stating that he would abstain from talking about the Merge online until further notice, he went on to mention it ''the following day'' while writing about the <s>[[Chris and health|health problems]]</s> "superpowers" that he got from it.<ref>https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/1080537645162422272</ref>

On 4 January 2019, Chris said that he was awaiting further information on the merge, more indication that the entire merge event had been scripted and fed to him by trolls who were no longer in the picture.

{{quote|Because of some deity-level red tape, it's delayed but it will happen soon enough. But don't make a big deal about it until I have more further information about it.|Chris, [[Jackson Dalton]] interview}}

Particularly troubling about Chris's comment is that he wants more information in order to verify that his delusional thoughts are real. By admitting this, he highlighted a path for new trolls to get into his head, showing he failed to learn from the [[Idea Guys]] saga. Several eager weens rushed in to fill the gaps in Chris's ''knowledge'', though by mid-[[June 2019]], Chris had apparently become overwhelmed with these, and has since turned to other, [[Chris and his ego|more credible]] sources.

===Continued hope in the merge===
[[File:Dmcompletcard.jpg|thumb|The epitome of Chris's desperation in card form. Also, the one goal card that Chris will never win.]]
After the first deadline for the merge had passed, Chris remained optimistic that the merge would still happen at some point. While he was initially quiet about it, he began ramping up the rants about the merge again around spring. On 31 March, he tweeted:<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1112426978458718208</ref>

{{quotebox|The <nowiki>#DimensionMerge</nowiki> is still happening and going on. C-197 plus 1218 <nowiki>=</nowiki> 1C-211987. OCs are really becoming more obvious here; there are even sightings of a [[April_2018_Paid_Video_Requests#Message_to_Dio_Brando.2C_Plus_I_Need_a_New_Phone.21|Dio blonde vampire in Egypt]]. Descendants, Beware! Dio is coming after you all.}}

Several merge-related tweets followed in April, in which he claimed that people in Japan were seeing OCs<ref>[[:File:Mergeprogress.png]]</ref> and blaming the Notre Dame church fire on a Pokémon.<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/4-15-chris-spotted-at-target-he-tweets-that-a-pokemon-caused-notre-dame-fire.55479/</ref> The events around this time give context for Chris's renewed interest in the merge:

*Earlier in March 2019, after Chris was gifted a [[Nintendo Switch]], he developed an obsession with playing the augmented reality game ''[[Pokémon GO|Pokémon Go]]''. The game's premise revolves around using smartphones to see Pokémon characters in real-world settings, which coincides with Chris's beliefs about the merge.

*On 2 April, Chris was sued for debt for the fourth time, further confirming the link between the merge and his financial problems.

*On 3 April, a new troll entered the stage with [[Future message from Crystal W Chandler]], who presented himself to Chris as a messenger of the merge.

Beginning in summer 2019, Chris would emphasise more often that the Merge is already nearly done and would soon be completely finished, like an obscure sect leader struggling to explain to his followers after the fact why the Second Coming had not come when he calculated it should. On 13 [[June 2019]], Chris claimed that he had been consulting with Jesus Christ, and that Jesus has been helping with the dimensional merge, which would be finished in the "near-coming days" – but without giving an actual set date. Chris also mentioned that Jesus has been preaching this at churches and in Pokémon gyms and yet needed Chris to help get the word out by posting to his [[Soft Exile|protected]] Twitter account.<ref>[[June 2019 social media posts#Chris says, according to Jesus, dimensional merge will be finished soon]]</ref> Naturally, after indulging his fantasies on the matter, Chris begged for money.<ref>[[2019 Sales Listings#June]]</ref>

As [[July 2019]] began, Chris tried to demonstrate his divine abilities through #[[PsychicPowers]], a pair of videos in which Chris drops items from his hand by the {{w|Ideomotor effect|ideomotor effect}}. On 8 July, he tried to assure his TRUE and HONEST believers on Twitter that the Merge's effects would be 'MILD and TEMPORARY', and continued his long trend of attributing random events in the news as harbingers of the Merge. On 10 July, Chris, via his [[Magi-chan]] sockpuppet on Twitter, complained about the many uninspired [[troll]]s who have tried to take advantage of the Merge to exploit Chris.<ref>[https://kiwifarms.net/threads/7-10-magi-chan-telling-everybody-that-all-the-stuff-christine-said-and-did-is-true.58275/]</ref> This has not prevented others, such as the [[Multidimensional White Knights]] or [[Jacob Sockness]], from attempting to weasel their way into Chris's inner circle.

To advance his belief in the Merge, Chris has resorted to using sockpuppet accounts on Twitter, most prominently [[MagiChan111448]], to broadcast events. Whether he is using this as a transparent [[disguises|disguise]] to convince others, or he genuinely thinks that he is channeling his cartoon character's thoughts and statements into a microblogging platform, is unclear. On 14 [[August 2019]], '[[Magi-Chan]]' would announce that he has allegedly arrived into the real world, and would presently describe in a video the Merge's status.<ref>[[August 2019 social media posts#Magi-chan says he has entered our world|Magi-chan says he has entered our world]]</ref>

In a [[Discord]] message on November 2019, Chris was still pining for the Merge, stating, "As for getting me into C-197, that Has to happen ASAP." In March 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Chris believed it to be a sign of the impending Merge.<ref>[[March 2020 social media posts#COVID-19 a sign of Dimensional Merge]]</ref>

On 29 [[December 2020]], Chris announced that the Merge "is on".<ref>https://twitter.com/cpu_cwcsonichu/status/1344006709606555648?s=21</ref> Later in the day, Chris stated that his “Merge is on” post was in reference to an “apex event” most likely referring to him attempting to break the Iron Curtain.<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1344103627657523200</ref> The next day, Chris went into further detail alluding to the Merge happening on New Years day 2021.<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1344445974689755136</ref> When New Years day came Chris clarified he meant the Merge would happen “any moment at the present time” meaning very soon after the New Year. <ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1345224423704555520</ref> On January 22, Chris announced that the merge would be completed making it the 3rd time he had claimed the Merge would happen at a specific time.<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1352706314699493383</ref>

Back in 30 [[October 2020]], Chris(pretending to be Sonichu), stated if he could not get Chris’ body back to C-197 and Chris and Sonichu’s souls swapped, Chris could not return to 1218. <ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1322323442255974400</ref> When Chris and Sonichu “swapped” on 25 [[February 2021]], Chris was expecting the Merge to happen on that day because of the swap which is why he said, “The dimension merge is happening; know which universe you are in when are suddenly transported peoples.” <ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1365027058355752962</ref> This would be the 4th time Chris had claimed the Merge would happen at a specific time. Due to the Merge not happening on February 25th and MLP G5 movie screenshots being leaked, Chris decided to leave Twitter to remain in his cognitive dissonance.<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1365352632454414337</ref>

The Merge's future course is subject only to Chris's whims, and is not dependent upon Chris's [[Financhu Crisis|deteriorating finances]], his [[Barbara Chandler|aged mother's]] declining health, or [[Chris and reality|any other events in 1218]]. Originally supposed to be complete within a few months of its announcement, it is now ''nearly complete'' and yet continues to be pushed further into the future, as nothing in Chris's world objectively changes except the identities of his enabling rivals for incompetence. Whether Chris will abandon his belief in the Merge in the event of some external shock like Barb's [[Chris and death|death]] and its fallout, or retreat further into it, is something only time can tell.

Dimensional Merge

2021-03-01T03:13:07Z

Protoman00: /* Continued hope in the merge */

:''For the video where Chris talks about the merge, see [[Dimensional Merge Announcements]].''

{{quote|Damn Dimension [[1218]]’s “Reality” Limits and Shit!!!|Chris, after New Year's 2019, disappointed when our reality did not merge with Sonichu's<ref>[[January 2019 social media posts]]</ref>.}}

[[File:Dimensional Merge on freespeechwall-min.jpg|thumb|500px|right|Chris warns downtown [[Charlottesville]] of the impending merge on its Free Speech Wall.]]

The '''Dimensional Merge''' is an escapist fantasy and [[coping]] mechanism for [[Christian Weston Chandler|Chris]]. Originally part of the lore the [[Idea Guys]] had [[brainwashed]] into Chris, the Dimensional Merge is Chris’s latest attempt at avoiding [[reality]], believing that it will rescue him from his self-inflicted life problems and enable him to continue living like a child.

The Merge is an event in which Chris believes that "[[Dimensions#1218|Dimension 1218]]" and "[[Dimensions#C-197|Dimension C-197]]" (respectively, the universe of real life, and the [[Dimensions|parallel universe]] where [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] and other fictional characters live) will combine, [[Chris and reality|bringing fictional characters into reality]]. Chris is convinced that he is the designated liaison of the event and will become a [[Chris and religion|deity]] as a result, giving the appearance of a doomsday cult leader. First announced in [[October 2018]], the Dimensional Merge's beginning on 18 November 2018,<ref name=mergebegins>https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/1064201575994982400</ref> aligning with the 40th anniversary of the {{w|Jonestown|Jonestown mass suicide}}, revealed it to be a [[troll]] fabrication.
The Merge was expected to take place by the end of [[December 2018]]. Naturally, when New Year's came and went, Chris began backpedaling but remained insistent that the Merge would occur. On 29 December 2020, Chris tried again at claiming that the merge was happening<ref>[[December 2020 social media posts#The Merge is apparently on]]</ref> as a coping mechanism for the cancellation of the 2021 [[BABSCon]].

Trolls had put the idea of the Dimensional Merge into Chris's head, and have encouraged it ever since. A [[Teen Troon Squad]] member claimed the idea to have originated with the [[Idea Guys]], but added, "we discouraged the idea at first",<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/posts/4149788/</ref> implying that they later began encouraging Chris to believe. In the months since then, several [[weens]] and [[enablers]] have also pretended to believe in the Merge, enabling Chris and trying to win him over. As the default latching-on point for trolls and the dominant meta-[[saga]] in Chris's life at present, the Dimensional Merge has replaced the classic [[Love Quest]] after its [[polyamorous marriage|surreal conclusion]] in early [[2018]].

== Background ==

[[File:Filthy carpet in Work Room - July 2019.jpg|thumb|x250px|right|Reality, according to Chris.]]

Chris has, for a long time, believed in the existence of one or more alternative universes, where every fictional character lives. He first alluded to this belief during a January 2010 [[Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 2|phone call]] with [[Asperchu|Alec Benson Leary]]. During the call, he told Leary that [[Asperchu/Background|Asperchu]] would surely have negative feelings about his [[Asperger syndrome|own name]], and then repeatedly called Leary “[[naïve]]” for explaining that Asperchu is ''not'' a living, sentient creature who lives in another universe and can independently generate their own thoughts. This is most likely one of the things Chris has [[Things Chris has ripped off|learned]] from [[Chris and television|television]]. More specifically, he offered the 1988 animated comedy film ''{{w|Who Framed Roger Rabbit}}'' to Leary as possible evidence of a “toon world” inhabited by every “published or unpublished” cartoon character.

From then up to the Dimensional Merge saga, Chris has increasingly believed that the fictitious city of [[CWCville]] and [[List of Sonichu characters|his characters]] were real, embracing their alleged existence as a way to “escape” from anything he [[Kick the Autistic|does not like]]. Chris has been spotted conversing, interacting and even [[BronyCon#Dancing with Magi-Chan|dancing]] with his imaginary friends on many occasions.<ref>[https://kiwifarms.net/threads/6-19-eyewitness-account-of-the-debt-hearing.57555/#post-4870932 Re: Eyewitness account of the debt hearing], 19 June 2019 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20190622230219/https://kiwifarms.net/threads/6-19-eyewitness-account-of-the-debt-hearing.57555/#post-4870932 Archived version]).</ref><ref>[https://kiwifarms.net/threads/aug-2017-video-of-chris-dancing-with-magi-chan-at-bronycon-gala.57840/ Aug 2017 - Video of Chris dancing with "Magi-Chan" at BronyCon gala], 27 June 2019 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20190715211102/https://kiwifarms.net/threads/aug-2017-video-of-chris-dancing-with-magi-chan-at-bronycon-gala.57840/ Archived version]).</ref>

Throughout [[2017]], Chris appeared convinced by the [[Idea Guys]] that the Sonichu and [[Hyperdimension Neptunia]] universes actually existed, but in a separate dimension. In [[July 2018]], Chris [[July 2018 social media posts#Earth 1218|tweeted]] at Marvel writer Seanan McGuire, asking him to confirm the "dimension number" of "this Earth". McGuire responded with "Earth 1218", and later clarified that this was the Marvel universe's designation for the real universe. Chris took it as gospel, and subsequently uses "1218" to refer to the actual, existing universe. Weeks later, McGuire reiterated [[August 2018 social media posts#Redesign|once again]] that everything was imaginary, but Chris' response to McGuire and various trolls indicates that he still believes that people such as McGuire can communicate with other dimensions.

Over the summer and fall of 2018, Chris met with the [[Teen Troon Squad]], people who gave him [[Chris and drugs#Cannabis|weed]], pretended to be possessed by Sonichu characters and that the universes would merge.

===Relation to [[Financhu Crisis]]===
Chris believes that he is wealthy in [[CWCville]], and that when the dimensions merge, he will have access to his [[money]] there and he will be able to pay off his current, real-world debts. He has asked to borrow money from people, claiming he will pay back ten times the amount once the merge concludes, not realizing he sounds like a more autistic version of the {{w|Advance-fee scam|Nigerian Prince Scam}}.

On 8 October, Chris tweeted:

{{quotebox|Sometimes I just want to Give Up - but my Loves won't Let Me. If people could help us here, in This World, Monetarily, we would be Okay. I promise all of you, that when That Day Comes, I will reimburse you, Personally, in the Nation of Cwcville.}}

He followed up on 23 October with:

{{quotebox|When the worlds merge I will have access to TONS of savings in Cwcville. It is a lot of money; indeed. 10:1 is my repayment rate!}}

On 24 [[September 2018]], Chris was [[Chris and the law|sued]] by Second Round Sub for unpaid debt, and on 23 [[October 2018]], Midland Funding followed suit. The case for the former was postponed to January, but the verdict on the Midland case was read on 19 [[December 2018]], requiring Chris to pay $2,777.90 at 6% interest and $55 in court costs.

Remarkably, he has done little begging in the wake of the lawsuits. This has surprised many, considering the immense amount of times he has groveled online for money in the years 2016-2018. He has instead chosen to stick his head in the sand and pretend that the Merge will solve all his problems for him.

==Beliefs on the Merge==
{{quote|When I had to go to hospital and stay in hospital with heart complications, Chris sent me a message from his [[MagiChan111448|Magi-Chan Sonichu account]] claiming that my symptoms were associated with affects from the dimensional merge.|[[Aly Hirschberg]].<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/goto/post?id=7227880</ref>}}

[[File:Dimensional Merge math on McDonalds napkin.jpg|thumb|While eating at [[McDonald's]], Chris scribbled down the math for how many people will be killed in the Merge on a napkin.]]

Chris [https://kiwifarms.net/posts/3862765/ announced] the event on 14 [[October 2018]]. On 26 [[October 2018]], Chris posted a video entitled "[[Dimensional Merge Announcements]]" where he outlined the process of 1218 merging with its "sister dimension" C-197, where [[Things Chris has ripped off|every fictional character known to exist]] resides. He believes that once the merge occurs, Earth will be shared by humans and various characters.

On 14 [[November 2018]], Chris made a tweet explaining the survival rates for the inhabitants of the sister dimensions during the merge. Chris explains the population math as follows; 61.25% of the population of dimension C-197 is identical to that of Earth in dimension 1218, the remaining 38.75% of the population of C-197 are OCs which are unique to C-197, all of the OCs of C-197 are guaranteed to survive the merge, at least 51% of the human population of the Earths in both sister dimensions will survive the merge and at least 41% will not with an uncertainty of 8%, the best outcome of the merge would leave 59% of the population of 1218 alive and all of the 38.75% of the OCs of C-197 plus 11.25% of the human population of C-197 in the dimension 1218C197, the dimension 1C-211987 would be left with 109% of 1218's current population leaving approximately 8.365 billion humans and OCs in the new universe.<ref>https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/1062688325130219521</ref>

[[File:DimensionalMergeThanos.jpg|thumb|500px|right|Chris Thanos-ing the two dimensions with the Infinity Gauntlet.]]
Naturally, he [[Chris and his ego|believes that he will be guaranteed survival]] because he "absorbed the spiral seal" from his Sega Dreamcast and is therefore the middleman between the two dimensions. He believes that himself and [[Megan Schroeder|Megan]] are basically deities, and that he will gain superpowers following the merge because of his belief that he is half-Sonichu.

He sent [https://archive.fo/AEDdd dozens of follow-up tweets] further detailing the process, explaining that [[Cwcville]] would replace northern [[Virginia]], Gotham City will replace a portion of New Jersey, and Equestria will take over the entirety of [[BronyCon|Maryland]]. He explained that this will resemble a natural disaster scenario and that mass evacuations may occur during the merge.

On 18 November 2018, Chris announced that the Merge had begun<ref name=mergebegins></ref>. This date coincides with the anniversary of the Jonestown mass suicide, implying that the Idea Guys had originated the Merge concept, as their calling card was inserting infamous historical dates into CWCville lore.

In early [[December 2018]], Chris reported feeling [https://kiwifarms.net/attachments/upload_2018-12-10_8-12-50-png.611515/ "psychic headaches"] and associated the merge with the [https://kiwifarms.net/attachments/cwc-png.611544/ California wildfires and the romaine lettuce recall.] As the merge drew closer, he claimed to have [https://kiwifarms.net/attachments/2-png.619236/ "lightning powers"] and that the "millions of volts" of electricity in his head is evidence that he is half-Sonichu. Without giving a time estimate for the merge, he tried to dispel doubts by [https://kiwifarms.net/attachments/upload_2018-12-22_11-41-7-png.620632/ claiming that he can "touch and feel"] [[Polyamorous marriage|Magi-Chan and Cryzel Rosechu]]. He estimated that the merge would conclude by the year's end.<ref>https://archive.fo/QKq44</ref>

===Magi-Chan doxxing incident===
On Christmas 2018, someone claiming to be Magi-Chan logged into Chris's Twitter, posting a Pastebin dump containing the dox of one of the Teen Troon Squad's members. They also stated that the Merge would actually take place in 20 years due to time dilation, and that Sonichu residents of C-197 would need to hibernate until then.

{{Quotebox|Hello everyone! It is I, Magi-Chan Sonichu. I read the password for this account from Chris' mind.

As you all know, the merge will be happening soon.

I currently have Lukas (my host body) in a trance, so they won't remember typing this out.

The final stage of the merge will involve everyone in our universe disconnecting from your
universe. We will go silent. We must hibernate to tug the universes together.

I have really enjoyed my time in your universe. I want to give thanks to my host body in your world, [redacted]. (Legal name: [redacted].) I want everyone to know what a
gracious host they were. Lukas and Christine and I (and some of our friends) had lots of fun
hanging out with Christine and smoking weed. We used to do it in their old house, but she just moved to a new house at [redacted]. I'm sad I won't be able to smoke weed there until after the merge. If you want to give Lukas a call to let her know how cool she is, she'd really appreciate it. Her number is [redacted].

Her mother Tara raised a brilliant young person. Her mother is also very progressive. I mean, who would have the courage to let their child spend their time smoking weed with someone like Christine, who's nearly twice their age? A really brave mother, that's who.g

Lukas is a really cool person. If you want to end up as brilliant as Lukas, you should also
spend a lot of time opening your mind by role playing and smoking weed with cool people
like Christine.

Anyhoo, praise be for my gracious host aside, here's how the merge will go down:

* everyone disconnects from Earth 1218 for a small period of time
* we hibernate
* and by the end of 2018 in our universe, the universes will be merged

Because of time dilation though, it will take a little bit longer in Earth 1218. By your human calendar in that universe, the merge should be complete by the end of 2038. 2018 here, 2038 in 1218.

In 20 short years, you should start seeing manifestations of what you people so cynically call "fictional characters". You might literally shit your panties when you see Bugs Bunny in real life! (But be polite, he looks a little rough. Makeup on television can work wonders.)

Goodbye for now!

Chris later dismissed the news as fake.

== The Merge in 2019 and Beyond ==
[[File:MergeProofArt.jpg|thumb|Chris proving the merge once and for all.]]
[[File:CWCville_Degeneration.jpg|thumb|An artist's depiction of CWCville after the merge.]]
Naturally, New Year's Eve of 2019 was an eagerly awaited moment as the final chance for the cataclysm to occur. In the early morning hours of 1 January 2019, Chris spoke out on Twitter in a New Year's address, explaining that the Merge had not happened on time due to "red tape", betraying some internal bureaucracy in the process of becoming the tranny-goddess of 80s computers.

He remained insistent that the event would still occur, adding in reassurances that the Sonichu-verse was still "Awake" to remind everyone of the Magi-chan doxxing's non-canon status.

{{quotebox|Good New Year, Everyone. I shall make my statement for now, and I Want No Backtalk Or Hateful Commentary.

The Dimension Merge of C-197 and our 1218 is still in progress. There is more damn red tape to work through, but our goal is still set; it is only delayed.

Everyone of C-197 is still very much Awake; we have secured [[Arfoire]] in a magic-proof cell a few days ago. Not even that Witch’s Courier on Facebook can say otherwise, because [[Honor Roll|I Know Better]], and her words shall never get to or sway me any other way.

I still remain the [[CPU]] Blue Heart of the Commodore Consoles, Cwcville and Comma, and Everyone is safe and well. But for now, I shall delay online talk of the Dimension Merge through my Social Media Accounts until further notice.

And I still remain very much married to Magi-Chan Sonichu, Cryzel Rosechu, Sylvana Rosechu, and Mewtwo; there is room for at least one from this Dimension, but there is no rush.

For now, Happy New Year, Everyone.

Dismiss. ⚡️💙⚡️}}

The context behind Chris's aside about [[Jessica Quinn#Versus Idea Guy|Arfoire]] was revealed in screencaps [[Lukas]] leaked on [[/cow/]]. In them, a person purporting to be the Arfoire-possessed Jessica Quinn PMs Chris over Facebook, saying she had tricked Chris into believing in the Merge:

<center><gallery>
File:Lukas poses as Jessica Quinn 1.jpeg
File:Lukas poses as Jessica Quinn 2.jpeg
</gallery></center>

However, the attached post from Lukas<ref>https://8ch.net/cow/res/687691.html#q690962</ref> suggests that Lukas had been posing as Quinn in an attempt to pass the blame onto her:

{{quoteboxyellow|I’m not even the one who started the merge thing I just tricked my moms sugar daddy into buying Chris’s porn shit here’s screenshots Chris sent to me of texts from Jessica Quinn pretty sure she’s the one}}

Despite Chris stating that he would abstain from talking about the Merge online until further notice, he went on to mention it ''the following day'' while writing about the <s>[[Chris and health|health problems]]</s> "superpowers" that he got from it.<ref>https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/1080537645162422272</ref>

On 4 January 2019, Chris said that he was awaiting further information on the merge, more indication that the entire merge event had been scripted and fed to him by trolls who were no longer in the picture.

{{quote|Because of some deity-level red tape, it's delayed but it will happen soon enough. But don't make a big deal about it until I have more further information about it.|Chris, [[Jackson Dalton]] interview}}

Particularly troubling about Chris's comment is that he wants more information in order to verify that his delusional thoughts are real. By admitting this, he highlighted a path for new trolls to get into his head, showing he failed to learn from the [[Idea Guys]] saga. Several eager weens rushed in to fill the gaps in Chris's ''knowledge'', though by mid-[[June 2019]], Chris had apparently become overwhelmed with these, and has since turned to other, [[Chris and his ego|more credible]] sources.

===Continued hope in the merge===
[[File:Dmcompletcard.jpg|thumb|The epitome of Chris's desperation in card form. Also, the one goal card that Chris will never win.]]
After the first deadline for the merge had passed, Chris remained optimistic that the merge would still happen at some point. While he was initially quiet about it, he began ramping up the rants about the merge again around spring. On 31 March, he tweeted:<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1112426978458718208</ref>

{{quotebox|The <nowiki>#DimensionMerge</nowiki> is still happening and going on. C-197 plus 1218 <nowiki>=</nowiki> 1C-211987. OCs are really becoming more obvious here; there are even sightings of a [[April_2018_Paid_Video_Requests#Message_to_Dio_Brando.2C_Plus_I_Need_a_New_Phone.21|Dio blonde vampire in Egypt]]. Descendants, Beware! Dio is coming after you all.}}

Several merge-related tweets followed in April, in which he claimed that people in Japan were seeing OCs<ref>[[:File:Mergeprogress.png]]</ref> and blaming the Notre Dame church fire on a Pokémon.<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/4-15-chris-spotted-at-target-he-tweets-that-a-pokemon-caused-notre-dame-fire.55479/</ref> The events around this time give context for Chris's renewed interest in the merge:

*Earlier in March 2019, after Chris was gifted a [[Nintendo Switch]], he developed an obsession with playing the augmented reality game ''[[Pokémon GO|Pokémon Go]]''. The game's premise revolves around using smartphones to see Pokémon characters in real-world settings, which coincides with Chris's beliefs about the merge.

*On 2 April, Chris was sued for debt for the fourth time, further confirming the link between the merge and his financial problems.

*On 3 April, a new troll entered the stage with [[Future message from Crystal W Chandler]], who presented himself to Chris as a messenger of the merge.

Beginning in summer 2019, Chris would emphasise more often that the Merge is already nearly done and would soon be completely finished, like an obscure sect leader struggling to explain to his followers after the fact why the Second Coming had not come when he calculated it should. On 13 [[June 2019]], Chris claimed that he had been consulting with Jesus Christ, and that Jesus has been helping with the dimensional merge, which would be finished in the "near-coming days" – but without giving an actual set date. Chris also mentioned that Jesus has been preaching this at churches and in Pokémon gyms and yet needed Chris to help get the word out by posting to his [[Soft Exile|protected]] Twitter account.<ref>[[June 2019 social media posts#Chris says, according to Jesus, dimensional merge will be finished soon]]</ref> Naturally, after indulging his fantasies on the matter, Chris begged for money.<ref>[[2019 Sales Listings#June]]</ref>

As [[July 2019]] began, Chris tried to demonstrate his divine abilities through #[[PsychicPowers]], a pair of videos in which Chris drops items from his hand by the {{w|Ideomotor effect|ideomotor effect}}. On 8 July, he tried to assure his TRUE and HONEST believers on Twitter that the Merge's effects would be 'MILD and TEMPORARY', and continued his long trend of attributing random events in the news as harbingers of the Merge. On 10 July, Chris, via his [[Magi-chan]] sockpuppet on Twitter, complained about the many uninspired [[troll]]s who have tried to take advantage of the Merge to exploit Chris.<ref>[https://kiwifarms.net/threads/7-10-magi-chan-telling-everybody-that-all-the-stuff-christine-said-and-did-is-true.58275/]</ref> This has not prevented others, such as the [[Multidimensional White Knights]] or [[Jacob Sockness]], from attempting to weasel their way into Chris's inner circle.

To advance his belief in the Merge, Chris has resorted to using sockpuppet accounts on Twitter, most prominently [[MagiChan111448]], to broadcast events. Whether he is using this as a transparent [[disguises|disguise]] to convince others, or he genuinely thinks that he is channelling his cartoon character's thoughts and statements into a microblogging platform, is unclear. On 14 [[August 2019]], '[[Magi-Chan]]' would announce that he has allegedly arrived into the real world, and would presently describe in a video the Merge's status.<ref>[[August 2019 social media posts#Magi-chan says he has entered our world|Magi-chan says he has entered our world]]</ref>

In a [[Discord]] message on November 2019, Chris was still pining for the Merge, stating, "As for getting me into C-197, that Has to happen ASAP." In March 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Chris believed it to be a sign of the impending Merge.<ref>[[March 2020 social media posts#COVID-19 a sign of Dimensional Merge]]</ref>

On 29 [[December 2020]], Chris announced that the Merge "is on".<ref>https://twitter.com/cpu_cwcsonichu/status/1344006709606555648?s=21</ref> Later in the day, Chris stated that his “Merge is on” post was in reference to an “apex event” most likely referring to him attempting to break the Iron Curtain.<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1344103627657523200</ref> The next day, Chris went into further detail alluding to the Merge happening on New Years day 2021.<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1344445974689755136</ref> When New Years day came Chris clarified he meant the Merge would happen “any moment at the present time” meaning very soon after the New Year. <ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1345224423704555520</ref> On January 22, Chris announced that the merge would be completed making it the 3rd time he had claimed the Merge would happen at a specific time.<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1352706314699493383</ref>

The Merge's future course is subject only to Chris's whims, and is not dependent upon Chris's [[Financhu Crisis|deteriorating finances]], his [[Barbara Chandler|aged mother's]] declining health, or [[Chris and reality|any other events in 1218]]. Originally supposed to be complete within a few months of its announcement, it is now ''nearly complete'' and yet continues to be pushed further into the future, as nothing in Chris's world objectively changes except the identities of his enabling rivals for incompetence. Whether Chris will abandon his belief in the Merge in the event of some external shock like Barb's [[Chris and death|death]] and its fallout, or retreat further into it, is something only time can tell.

Dimensional Merge

Protoman00: /* Continued hope in the merge */

:''For the video where Chris talks about the merge, see [[Dimensional Merge Announcements]].''

{{quote|Damn Dimension [[1218]]’s “Reality” Limits and Shit!!!|Chris, after New Year's 2019, disappointed when our reality did not merge with Sonichu's<ref>[[January 2019 social media posts]]</ref>.}}

[[File:Dimensional Merge on freespeechwall-min.jpg|thumb|500px|right|Chris warns downtown [[Charlottesville]] of the impending merge on its Free Speech Wall.]]

The '''Dimensional Merge''' is an escapist fantasy and [[coping]] mechanism for [[Christian Weston Chandler|Chris]]. Originally part of the lore the [[Idea Guys]] had [[brainwashed]] into Chris, the Dimensional Merge is Chris’s latest attempt at avoiding [[reality]], believing that it will rescue him from his self-inflicted life problems and enable him to continue living like a child.

The Merge is an event in which Chris believes that "[[Dimensions#1218|Dimension 1218]]" and "[[Dimensions#C-197|Dimension C-197]]" (respectively, the universe of real life, and the [[Dimensions|parallel universe]] where [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] and other fictional characters live) will combine, [[Chris and reality|bringing fictional characters into reality]]. Chris is convinced that he is the designated liaison of the event and will become a [[Chris and religion|deity]] as a result, giving the appearance of a doomsday cult leader. First announced in [[October 2018]], the Dimensional Merge's beginning on 18 November 2018,<ref name=mergebegins>https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/1064201575994982400</ref> aligning with the 40th anniversary of the {{w|Jonestown|Jonestown mass suicide}}, revealed it to be a [[troll]] fabrication.
The Merge was expected to take place by the end of [[December 2018]]. Naturally, when New Year's came and went, Chris began backpedaling but remained insistent that the Merge would occur. On 29 December 2020, Chris tried again at claiming that the merge was happening<ref>[[December 2020 social media posts#The Merge is apparently on]]</ref> as a coping mechanism for the cancellation of the 2021 [[BABSCon]].

Trolls had put the idea of the Dimensional Merge into Chris's head, and have encouraged it ever since. A [[Teen Troon Squad]] member claimed the idea to have originated with the [[Idea Guys]], but added, "we discouraged the idea at first",<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/posts/4149788/</ref> implying that they later began encouraging Chris to believe. In the months since then, several [[weens]] and [[enablers]] have also pretended to believe in the Merge, enabling Chris and trying to win him over. As the default latching-on point for trolls and the dominant meta-[[saga]] in Chris's life at present, the Dimensional Merge has replaced the classic [[Love Quest]] after its [[polyamorous marriage|surreal conclusion]] in early [[2018]].

== Background ==

[[File:Filthy carpet in Work Room - July 2019.jpg|thumb|x250px|right|Reality, according to Chris.]]

Chris has, for a long time, believed in the existence of one or more alternative universes, where every fictional character lives. He first alluded to this belief during a January 2010 [[Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 2|phone call]] with [[Asperchu|Alec Benson Leary]]. During the call, he told Leary that [[Asperchu/Background|Asperchu]] would surely have negative feelings about his [[Asperger syndrome|own name]], and then repeatedly called Leary “[[naïve]]” for explaining that Asperchu is ''not'' a living, sentient creature who lives in another universe and can independently generate their own thoughts. This is most likely one of the things Chris has [[Things Chris has ripped off|learned]] from [[Chris and television|television]]. More specifically, he offered the 1988 animated comedy film ''{{w|Who Framed Roger Rabbit}}'' to Leary as possible evidence of a “toon world” inhabited by every “published or unpublished” cartoon character.

From then up to the Dimensional Merge saga, Chris has increasingly believed that the fictitious city of [[CWCville]] and [[List of Sonichu characters|his characters]] were real, embracing their alleged existence as a way to “escape” from anything he [[Kick the Autistic|does not like]]. Chris has been spotted conversing, interacting and even [[BronyCon#Dancing with Magi-Chan|dancing]] with his imaginary friends on many occasions.<ref>[https://kiwifarms.net/threads/6-19-eyewitness-account-of-the-debt-hearing.57555/#post-4870932 Re: Eyewitness account of the debt hearing], 19 June 2019 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20190622230219/https://kiwifarms.net/threads/6-19-eyewitness-account-of-the-debt-hearing.57555/#post-4870932 Archived version]).</ref><ref>[https://kiwifarms.net/threads/aug-2017-video-of-chris-dancing-with-magi-chan-at-bronycon-gala.57840/ Aug 2017 - Video of Chris dancing with "Magi-Chan" at BronyCon gala], 27 June 2019 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20190715211102/https://kiwifarms.net/threads/aug-2017-video-of-chris-dancing-with-magi-chan-at-bronycon-gala.57840/ Archived version]).</ref>

Throughout [[2017]], Chris appeared convinced by the [[Idea Guys]] that the Sonichu and [[Hyperdimension Neptunia]] universes actually existed, but in a separate dimension. In [[July 2018]], Chris [[July 2018 social media posts#Earth 1218|tweeted]] at Marvel writer Seanan McGuire, asking him to confirm the "dimension number" of "this Earth". McGuire responded with "Earth 1218", and later clarified that this was the Marvel universe's designation for the real universe. Chris took it as gospel, and subsequently uses "1218" to refer to the actual, existing universe. Weeks later, McGuire reiterated [[August 2018 social media posts#Redesign|once again]] that everything was imaginary, but Chris' response to McGuire and various trolls indicates that he still believes that people such as McGuire can communicate with other dimensions.

Over the summer and fall of 2018, Chris met with the [[Teen Troon Squad]], people who gave him [[Chris and drugs#Cannabis|weed]], pretended to be possessed by Sonichu characters and that the universes would merge.

===Relation to [[Financhu Crisis]]===
Chris believes that he is wealthy in [[CWCville]], and that when the dimensions merge, he will have access to his [[money]] there and he will be able to pay off his current, real-world debts. He has asked to borrow money from people, claiming he will pay back ten times the amount once the merge concludes, not realizing he sounds like a more autistic version of the {{w|Advance-fee scam|Nigerian Prince Scam}}.

On 8 October, Chris tweeted:

{{quotebox|Sometimes I just want to Give Up - but my Loves won't Let Me. If people could help us here, in This World, Monetarily, we would be Okay. I promise all of you, that when That Day Comes, I will reimburse you, Personally, in the Nation of Cwcville.}}

He followed up on 23 October with:

{{quotebox|When the worlds merge I will have access to TONS of savings in Cwcville. It is a lot of money; indeed. 10:1 is my repayment rate!}}

On 24 [[September 2018]], Chris was [[Chris and the law|sued]] by Second Round Sub for unpaid debt, and on 23 [[October 2018]], Midland Funding followed suit. The case for the former was postponed to January, but the verdict on the Midland case was read on 19 [[December 2018]], requiring Chris to pay $2,777.90 at 6% interest and $55 in court costs.

Remarkably, he has done little begging in the wake of the lawsuits. This has surprised many, considering the immense amount of times he has groveled online for money in the years 2016-2018. He has instead chosen to stick his head in the sand and pretend that the Merge will solve all his problems for him.

==Beliefs on the Merge==
{{quote|When I had to go to hospital and stay in hospital with heart complications, Chris sent me a message from his [[MagiChan111448|Magi-Chan Sonichu account]] claiming that my symptoms were associated with affects from the dimensional merge.|[[Aly Hirschberg]].<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/goto/post?id=7227880</ref>}}

[[File:Dimensional Merge math on McDonalds napkin.jpg|thumb|While eating at [[McDonald's]], Chris scribbled down the math for how many people will be killed in the Merge on a napkin.]]

Chris [https://kiwifarms.net/posts/3862765/ announced] the event on 14 [[October 2018]]. On 26 [[October 2018]], Chris posted a video entitled "[[Dimensional Merge Announcements]]" where he outlined the process of 1218 merging with its "sister dimension" C-197, where [[Things Chris has ripped off|every fictional character known to exist]] resides. He believes that once the merge occurs, Earth will be shared by humans and various characters.

On 14 [[November 2018]], Chris made a tweet explaining the survival rates for the inhabitants of the sister dimensions during the merge. Chris explains the population math as follows; 61.25% of the population of dimension C-197 is identical to that of Earth in dimension 1218, the remaining 38.75% of the population of C-197 are OCs which are unique to C-197, all of the OCs of C-197 are guaranteed to survive the merge, at least 51% of the human population of the Earths in both sister dimensions will survive the merge and at least 41% will not with an uncertainty of 8%, the best outcome of the merge would leave 59% of the population of 1218 alive and all of the 38.75% of the OCs of C-197 plus 11.25% of the human population of C-197 in the dimension 1218C197, the dimension 1C-211987 would be left with 109% of 1218's current population leaving approximately 8.365 billion humans and OCs in the new universe.<ref>https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/1062688325130219521</ref>

[[File:DimensionalMergeThanos.jpg|thumb|500px|right|Chris Thanos-ing the two dimensions with the Infinity Gauntlet.]]
Naturally, he [[Chris and his ego|believes that he will be guaranteed survival]] because he "absorbed the spiral seal" from his Sega Dreamcast and is therefore the middleman between the two dimensions. He believes that himself and [[Megan Schroeder|Megan]] are basically deities, and that he will gain superpowers following the merge because of his belief that he is half-Sonichu.

He sent [https://archive.fo/AEDdd dozens of follow-up tweets] further detailing the process, explaining that [[Cwcville]] would replace northern [[Virginia]], Gotham City will replace a portion of New Jersey, and Equestria will take over the entirety of [[BronyCon|Maryland]]. He explained that this will resemble a natural disaster scenario and that mass evacuations may occur during the merge.

On 18 November 2018, Chris announced that the Merge had begun<ref name=mergebegins></ref>. This date coincides with the anniversary of the Jonestown mass suicide, implying that the Idea Guys had originated the Merge concept, as their calling card was inserting infamous historical dates into CWCville lore.

In early [[December 2018]], Chris reported feeling [https://kiwifarms.net/attachments/upload_2018-12-10_8-12-50-png.611515/ "psychic headaches"] and associated the merge with the [https://kiwifarms.net/attachments/cwc-png.611544/ California wildfires and the romaine lettuce recall.] As the merge drew closer, he claimed to have [https://kiwifarms.net/attachments/2-png.619236/ "lightning powers"] and that the "millions of volts" of electricity in his head is evidence that he is half-Sonichu. Without giving a time estimate for the merge, he tried to dispel doubts by [https://kiwifarms.net/attachments/upload_2018-12-22_11-41-7-png.620632/ claiming that he can "touch and feel"] [[Polyamorous marriage|Magi-Chan and Cryzel Rosechu]]. He estimated that the merge would conclude by the year's end.<ref>https://archive.fo/QKq44</ref>

===Magi-Chan doxxing incident===
On Christmas 2018, someone claiming to be Magi-Chan logged into Chris's Twitter, posting a Pastebin dump containing the dox of one of the Teen Troon Squad's members. They also stated that the Merge would actually take place in 20 years due to time dilation, and that Sonichu residents of C-197 would need to hibernate until then.

{{Quotebox|Hello everyone! It is I, Magi-Chan Sonichu. I read the password for this account from Chris' mind.

As you all know, the merge will be happening soon.

I currently have Lukas (my host body) in a trance, so they won't remember typing this out.

The final stage of the merge will involve everyone in our universe disconnecting from your
universe. We will go silent. We must hibernate to tug the universes together.

I have really enjoyed my time in your universe. I want to give thanks to my host body in your world, [redacted]. (Legal name: [redacted].) I want everyone to know what a
gracious host they were. Lukas and Christine and I (and some of our friends) had lots of fun
hanging out with Christine and smoking weed. We used to do it in their old house, but she just moved to a new house at [redacted]. I'm sad I won't be able to smoke weed there until after the merge. If you want to give Lukas a call to let her know how cool she is, she'd really appreciate it. Her number is [redacted].

Her mother Tara raised a brilliant young person. Her mother is also very progressive. I mean, who would have the courage to let their child spend their time smoking weed with someone like Christine, who's nearly twice their age? A really brave mother, that's who.g

Lukas is a really cool person. If you want to end up as brilliant as Lukas, you should also
spend a lot of time opening your mind by role playing and smoking weed with cool people
like Christine.

Anyhoo, praise be for my gracious host aside, here's how the merge will go down:

* everyone disconnects from Earth 1218 for a small period of time
* we hibernate
* and by the end of 2018 in our universe, the universes will be merged

Because of time dilation though, it will take a little bit longer in Earth 1218. By your human calendar in that universe, the merge should be complete by the end of 2038. 2018 here, 2038 in 1218.

In 20 short years, you should start seeing manifestations of what you people so cynically call "fictional characters". You might literally shit your panties when you see Bugs Bunny in real life! (But be polite, he looks a little rough. Makeup on television can work wonders.)

Goodbye for now!

[[File:ChrisandTeenTroonSquad.png|200px]]}}

Chris later dismissed the news as fake.

== The Merge in 2019 and Beyond ==
[[File:MergeProofArt.jpg|thumb|Chris proving the merge once and for all.]]
[[File:CWCville_Degeneration.jpg|thumb|An artist's depiction of CWCville after the merge.]]
Naturally, New Year's Eve of 2019 was an eagerly awaited moment as the final chance for the cataclysm to occur. In the early morning hours of 1 January 2019, Chris spoke out on Twitter in a New Year's address, explaining that the Merge had not happened on time due to "red tape", betraying some internal bureaucracy in the process of becoming the tranny-goddess of 80s computers.

He remained insistent that the event would still occur, adding in reassurances that the Sonichu-verse was still "Awake" to remind everyone of the Magi-chan doxxing's non-canon status.

{{quotebox|Good New Year, Everyone. I shall make my statement for now, and I Want No Backtalk Or Hateful Commentary.

The Dimension Merge of C-197 and our 1218 is still in progress. There is more damn red tape to work through, but our goal is still set; it is only delayed.

Everyone of C-197 is still very much Awake; we have secured [[Arfoire]] in a magic-proof cell a few days ago. Not even that Witch’s Courier on Facebook can say otherwise, because [[Honor Roll|I Know Better]], and her words shall never get to or sway me any other way.

I still remain the [[CPU]] Blue Heart of the Commodore Consoles, Cwcville and Comma, and Everyone is safe and well. But for now, I shall delay online talk of the Dimension Merge through my Social Media Accounts until further notice.

And I still remain very much married to Magi-Chan Sonichu, Cryzel Rosechu, Sylvana Rosechu, and Mewtwo; there is room for at least one from this Dimension, but there is no rush.

For now, Happy New Year, Everyone.

Dismiss. ⚡️💙⚡️}}

The context behind Chris's aside about [[Jessica Quinn#Versus Idea Guy|Arfoire]] was revealed in screencaps [[Lukas]] leaked on [[/cow/]]. In them, a person purporting to be the Arfoire-possessed Jessica Quinn PMs Chris over Facebook, saying she had tricked Chris into believing in the Merge:

<center><gallery>
File:Lukas poses as Jessica Quinn 1.jpeg
File:Lukas poses as Jessica Quinn 2.jpeg
</gallery></center>

However, the attached post from Lukas<ref>https://8ch.net/cow/res/687691.html#q690962</ref> suggests that Lukas had been posing as Quinn in an attempt to pass the blame onto her:

{{quoteboxyellow|I’m not even the one who started the merge thing I just tricked my moms sugar daddy into buying Chris’s porn shit here’s screenshots Chris sent to me of texts from Jessica Quinn pretty sure she’s the one}}

Despite Chris stating that he would abstain from talking about the Merge online until further notice, he went on to mention it ''the following day'' while writing about the <s>[[Chris and health|health problems]]</s> "superpowers" that he got from it.<ref>https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/1080537645162422272</ref>

On 4 January 2019, Chris said that he was awaiting further information on the merge, more indication that the entire merge event had been scripted and fed to him by trolls who were no longer in the picture.

{{quote|Because of some deity-level red tape, it's delayed but it will happen soon enough. But don't make a big deal about it until I have more further information about it.|Chris, [[Jackson Dalton]] interview}}

Particularly troubling about Chris's comment is that he wants more information in order to verify that his delusional thoughts are real. By admitting this, he highlighted a path for new trolls to get into his head, showing he failed to learn from the [[Idea Guys]] saga. Several eager weens rushed in to fill the gaps in Chris's ''knowledge'', though by mid-[[June 2019]], Chris had apparently become overwhelmed with these, and has since turned to other, [[Chris and his ego|more credible]] sources.

===Continued hope in the merge===
[[File:Dmcompletcard.jpg|thumb|The epitome of Chris's desperation in card form. Also, the one goal card that Chris will never win.]]
After the first deadline for the merge had passed, Chris remained optimistic that the merge would still happen at some point. While he was initially quiet about it, he began ramping up the rants about the merge again around spring. On 31 March, he tweeted:<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1112426978458718208</ref>

{{quotebox|The <nowiki>#DimensionMerge</nowiki> is still happening and going on. C-197 plus 1218 <nowiki>=</nowiki> 1C-211987.

Descendants, Beware! Dio is coming after you all.}}

Several merge-related tweets followed in April, in which he claimed that people in Japan were seeing OCs<ref>[[:File:Mergeprogress.png]]</ref> and blaming the Notre Dame church fire on a Pokémon.<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/4-15-chris-spotted-at-target-he-tweets-that-a-pokemon-caused-notre-dame-fire.55479/</ref> The events around this time give context for Chris's renewed interest in the merge:

*Earlier in March 2019, after Chris was gifted a [[Nintendo Switch]], he developed an obsession with playing the augmented reality game ''[[Pokémon GO|Pokémon Go]]''. The game's premise revolves around using smartphones to see Pokémon characters in real-world settings, which coincides with Chris's beliefs about the merge.

*On 2 April, Chris was sued for debt for the fourth time, further confirming the link between the merge and his financial problems.

*On 3 April, a new troll entered the stage with [[Future message from Crystal W Chandler]], who presented himself to Chris as a messenger of the merge.

Beginning in summer 2019, Chris would emphasise more often that the Merge is already nearly done and would soon be completely finished, like an obscure sect leader struggling to explain to his followers after the fact why the Second Coming had not come when he calculated it should. On 13 [[June 2019]], Chris claimed that he had been consulting with Jesus Christ, and that Jesus has been helping with the dimensional merge, which would be finished in the "near-coming days" – but without giving an actual set date. Chris also mentioned that Jesus has been preaching this at churches and in Pokémon gyms and yet needed Chris to help get the word out by posting to his [[Soft Exile|protected]] Twitter account.<ref>[[June 2019 social media posts#Chris says, according to Jesus, dimensional merge will be finished soon]]</ref> Naturally, after indulging his fantasies on the matter, Chris begged for money.<ref>[[2019 Sales Listings#June]]</ref>

As [[July 2019]] began, Chris tried to demonstrate his divine abilities through #[[PsychicPowers]], a pair of videos in which Chris drops items from his hand by the {{w|Ideomotor effect|ideomotor effect}}. On 8 July, he tried to assure his TRUE and HONEST believers on Twitter that the Merge's effects would be 'MILD and TEMPORARY', and continued his long trend of attributing random events in the news as harbingers of the Merge. On 10 July, Chris, via his [[Magi-chan]] sockpuppet on Twitter, complained about the many uninspired [[troll]]s who have tried to take advantage of the Merge to exploit Chris.<ref>[https://kiwifarms.net/threads/7-10-magi-chan-telling-everybody-that-all-the-stuff-christine-said-and-did-is-true.58275/]</ref> This has not prevented others, such as the [[Multidimensional White Knights]] or [[Jacob Sockness]], from attempting to weasel their way into Chris's inner circle.

To advance his belief in the Merge, Chris has resorted to using sockpuppet accounts on Twitter, most prominently [[MagiChan111448]], to broadcast events. Whether he is using this as a transparent [[disguises|disguise]] to convince others, or he genuinely thinks that he is channelling his cartoon character's thoughts and statements into a microblogging platform, is unclear. On 14 [[August 2019]], '[[Magi-Chan]]' would announce that he has allegedly arrived into the real world, and would presently describe in a video the Merge's status.<ref>[[August 2019 social media posts#Magi-chan says he has entered our world|Magi-chan says he has entered our world]]</ref>

In a [[Discord]] message on November 2019, Chris was still pining for the Merge, stating, "As for getting me into C-197, that Has to happen ASAP." In March 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Chris believed it to be a sign of the impending Merge.<ref>[[March 2020 social media posts#COVID-19 a sign of Dimensional Merge]]</ref>

On 29 [[December 2020]], Chris announced that the Merge "is on".<ref>https://twitter.com/cpu_cwcsonichu/status/1344006709606555648?s=21</ref> Later in the day, Chris stated that his “Merge is on” post was in reference to an “apex event” most likely referring to him attempting to break the Iron Curtain.<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1344103627657523200</ref> The next day, Chris went into further detail alluding to the Merge happening on New Years day 2021.<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1344445974689755136</ref> When New Years day came Chris clarified he meant the Merge would happen “any moment at the present time” meaning very soon after the New Year. <ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1345224423704555520</ref> On January 22, Chris announced that the merge would be completed making it the 4th time he had claimed the Merge would happen at a specific time.<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1352706314699493383</ref>

The Merge's future course is subject only to Chris's whims, and is not dependent upon Chris's [[Financhu Crisis|deteriorating finances]], his [[Barbara Chandler|aged mother's]] declining health, or [[Chris and reality|any other events in 1218]]. Originally supposed to be complete within a few months of its announcement, it is now ''nearly complete'' and yet continues to be pushed further into the future, as nothing in Chris's world objectively changes except the identities of his enabling rivals for incompetence. Whether Chris will abandon his belief in the Merge in the event of some external shock like Barb's [[Chris and death|death]] and its fallout, or retreat further into it, is something only time can tell.
