	:::I think I will table '''Wishful thinking''' since Chris has a lot of wishes for their life: both Chris and CWCville. --[[User:Little Owl\|Little Owl]] ([[User talk:Little Owl\|talk]]) 12:24, 21 April 2020 (UTC)		:::I think I will table '''Wishful thinking''' since Chris has a lot of wishes for their life: both Chris and CWCville. --[[User:Little Owl\|Little Owl]] ([[User talk:Little Owl\|talk]]) 12:24, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

			Interesting, looking up Wishful Thinking it does describe Chris's outlook: "Wishful thinking describes decision-making and the formation of beliefs based on what might be pleasing to imagine, rather than on evidence, rationality, or reality."

			Though Magical Thinking also describes it: "Magical thinking is the belief that one’s own thoughts, wishes, or desires can influence the external world. It is common in very young children. A four-year-old child, for example, might believe that after wishing for a pony, one will appear at his or her house. Magical thinking is also colloquially used to refer more broadly to mystical, magical thoughts, such as the belief in Santa Claus, supernatural entities, and miraculous occurrences."

			MT also emphasizes his magical beliefs and it's mentioned in the article to refer to the Curseyehameha. [[User:Hurtful Truth Level\|Hurtful Truth Level]] ([[User talk:Hurtful Truth Level\|talk]]) 19:11, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

	::'''Magic''' implies it's just an interest to Chris. But it's more than that for him - it's a full-on coping method, and I feel that would be better highlighted with the scope as magical thinking. After doing some general editing, I don't think that's enough for a Chris And article, since material would overlap with the Chris and Reality article.

Too many quotes?

	I feel like one quote of moderate length or two short quotes showing past and present thoughts would be more appropriate then the current setup; its a little thing but it kind of get in the way of the meat of the article. The Patti quote is a memorable one, the mailbag quote is quite bulky and might be better off put somewhere in the article, and the father quote is too similar to the Patti one but does display a level of irreverence towards his dead father. I'd keep the Patti quote and put in something from one of Chris's more recent diatribes, I think the [[Doopie_E-mails#Hey.2C_Danielle_.E2.80.94_30_July_2017\|that time in the Doopie emails]] where he says he can fold paper with his mind and one day learn to fly might work well.
