The '''Father Call''' is a [[Phone calls|phone call]] that occurred on 4 [[November 2009]]. In this call, [[Christian Weston Chandler|Solid Chris]] spends 2 hours on the phone with '''Matthew Devoria''' (born [[1957]]), the father of his would-be [[sweetheart]] [[Kacey]], and a retired {{w|United States Marine Corps|U.S. Marine}} who served in the {{w|Gulf War}}. Chris uses the opportunity of speaking to the dad of his sweetheart by boasting of his now-legendary [[honest]]y, before flimsily attempting to defend himself from an angry father.
"'''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.


Their conversation is illuminating. What follows is probably the bluntest personal assessment Chris has ever received to date: Matt berates Chris for his [[Monthly tugboat|laziness]], [[Chris and his ego|egotism]], [[Chris and kindness|lack of empathy]], [[Chris and reality|inability to grow up]], [[Chris and health|unhealthy lifestyle]], [[obesity]], [[Women's rights|treatment of Kacey]] and general failure at life. To this day, Chris has never taken any of Matt and Kacey's advice to heart; throughout the call he retorts by saying that he leads a hard life, which includes such laborious tasks as doing menial [[chores]], [[CWC Fighter|mowing the lawn]] and ''[[Tour of Chris's House|cleaning the house]]''. He also claims to be [[I AM STRONG|strong]] and that he [[Guitar Hero|exercises]] [[Mass debating|regularly]], as well as eating healthy by going to [[McDonald's]] only once per week and shoving [[Barbara Chandler|vegetables]] [[Homos|down his throat]].
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.

"Darling", also spelt "Dahling", is a common term of affection noteworthy for its 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 romantic associations, Chris says that he uses it purely in a platonic manner and cannot understand why the objects of his affection find it creepy. It is possible that because Chris sees himself as a woman, he thinks he can escape the gendered meaning of the word, ignoring that an actual lesbian saying it to another woman would be only modestly less creepy.

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 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 sockpuppet account to roleplay the "proper" use of the term.

Chris uses both "darling" and "dear" to refer to his mother. His MLP-inspired character of her is named Sugar Darling. He is heard addressing her as "dear" in an April 2017 Captain's Log, and Clare Porter has further mentioned that he addressed Barb that way over the phone.
