"'''Darling'''", also spelt "'''Dahling'''", is a common term of affection noteworthy for its [[CWC-isms|idiosyncratic misuse by Chris]]. "'''Dear'''" is also used by him for the same purposes, albeit less commonly. While the term, when used by an adult male for an adult female, almost always carries [[Love Quest|romantic]] associations, Chris says that he uses it purely in a [[Friend zone|platonic manner]] and cannot understand why the objects of his affection find it creepy. It is possible that because Chris [[Tomgirl|sees himself as a woman]], he thinks he can escape the gendered meaning of the word, ignoring that an actual [[Gaybian|lesbian]] saying it to another woman would be only modestly less creepy.
The '''Financhu Crisis''' is a term coined by users from [[Kiwi Farms]] to describe the steep decline in the Chandler family's [[Chris and money|financial management]] beginning in early [[2016]]. Signs of the Chandlers' worsening finances were made apparent by the increasing amounts of begging videos and donation requests on [[YouTube]] and [[Facebook]].


Chris used this term as a default form of address for [[DoopieDoOver]], which most [[trolls]] and later Doopie herself recognized as Chris attempting to hit on a potential [[Sweetheart]]. Chris's incessant use of the term was a key factor in making Doopie feel uncomfortable with interacting with him and setting the stage for the climax of the Doopie Saga. Chris later brought the term back, along with "dear", when interacting with Doopie's friend [[LadyOfTheCosmo]], who turned out to be much less tolerant of it than Doopie. She tried to convince Chris, to no avail, of the typical connotations of the words, only resulting in Chris [[Chris and remorse|obstinately continuing]] to address her with them. Lady's patience with this unraveled rapidly to the point of simply cursing at Chris, before he unfollowed her and she blocked him. Chris then used his [[Night Star|sockpuppet account]] to roleplay the "proper" use of the term.

Chris uses ''both'' "darling" and "dear" to refer to [[Barb|his mother]]. His [[MLP]]-inspired character of her is named Sugar Darling.

Chris, begging for money, while standing in front of more than a thousand dollars' worth of Lego sets and toys.

The Financhu Crisis is a term coined by users from Kiwi Farms to describe the steep decline in the Chandler family's financial management beginning in early 2016. Signs of the Chandlers' worsening finances were made apparent by the increasing amounts of begging videos and donation requests on YouTube and Facebook.

In June 2017, Chris began to take his Patreon account more seriously and recommenced drawing Sonichu comic pages. He has gotten several hundred dollars per month for his efforts, and payments continued until 2 August 2021, when his Patreon account was shut down. As a result, begging had temporarily subsided.
