Kim Wilson
- "Kim" redirects here. For Chris's blow-up doll, see Kimmi.
Kim Wilson is a gal pal of Chris. She was first mentioned in Kacey Call 1, and much of what is known of her comes from references in the Kacey calls. In 2009, Kim was regularly calling Chris at 10 P.M.[1]
Under the moniker ScarletSanctum (her YouTube username[2]) Kim served as a judge for the SingStar Challenge,[3] where she voted in favor of Solid Chris.[4]
Kim is a regular commenter on Chris's Facebook page. She is something of a white knight for Chris, but some unlike other white knights such as Anna she sometimes challenges him on some points and tries to better him (thus far unsuccessfully) through criticism.
Introduction to Chris and Kacey
Prior to the Kacey calls, Kim had been emailing Chris, helping him get into Liquid Chris's email account.[5] In an attempt to establish that she was not a boyfriend free girl, she told him she was with a tough dude named Logan, and together they had two German shepherds.[2] Irrespective of this, Chris typically still thought Kim liked him, and asked Kacey to ask her what she thought of him, despite having stated "I respect her space very much."[6] After Chris gave Kim's email address to Kacey, the two became friends.[7]
Interactions
In August 2009, Kim asked Chris to share his PSN information with her. He happily surrendered his username and password, resulting in his PSN account getting hacked.[8]
By September 2009, Kim was regularly calling Chris. It was Kim's suggestion that Chris get a sports bra for exercising, prompting Chris to purchase one.[9] That month, Chris also sent her the pictures of him with Hambeast, as well as the infamous picture of him in the sports bra.[10][11] He also told her (inappropriately) that he had an insecurity over penis size.[12] While Chris ignored her suggestion to do a Sonichu cosplay[13], he would in fact later cosplay as Chris-chan Sonichu. She tried to get Chris to give her his PS3, under the guise that her boyfriend was a professional who could debug it, but failed.[14]
It was Kim who told Chris that Regina could just be "a whole bunch of misunderstandings", instead of a troll.[15]
Attempts to improve Chris
Like Kacey, Kim actually tried to get Chris to improve his life. She was asking Chris to eat right and exercise[9], to stop sighing and saying "whatever", take his Lego city apart[15], learn to play the guitar[16], and gave him a mock job interview, in hopes that he'd find a job.[17] Chris obliged none of her requests.
Real-life encounters
Kim may have already encountered Chris by the spring of 2009. In a chat with Vanessa Hudgens from 22 April Chris talked about meeting Joshua at the mall along with a girl named Kim,[18] although whether it was Kim Wilson is unknown. The only information discernible about the Kim mentioned in said chat is that she was not previously familiar to Chris (he had a slight trouble recalling her name) and that he was somewhat sexually interested in her ("[Kim] was cute and sexy, but I still remain devoted to my Sweetest Ivy").
At one point, Chris met Kim (Wilson) in person, going to an Applebees with her and Kacey.[5]
On June 2009 a number of videos of Chris interacting in public were uploaded to the YouTube account ScarletSanctum, which, as Chris has confirmed, belongs to Kim.[2] Another series of similar videos was released by the same account on July 2009. However it is not known if the girl heard in Chris's Big Night Out part I and II is Kim, or whether or not she was even present during the filming of said videos.
If that the girl featured in Chris's Big Night Out is indeed Kim, then part II was shot long before its release in July 2009 - the girl in the video mentions hiding from Chris the fact that she's in a relationship, but Chris was under the impression that Kim had a boyfriend named Logan a month before the video's release - 15 June 2009.[19]
Mentions in videos
In June 2009, after Chris created a video called Don't Trust Any Homos Over There, an upset Kim forced Chris to create the apology video I'm Sorry, Dude, in which Chris insisted that he likes gays who "ac— ...accomplish other things, like Stephen Fry, who was a homosexual, but y'know he did a good job being a narrator on LittleBigPlanet." Kim claimed to be upset because her boyfriend had a gay brother who lost both his arms in Iraq,[19] the veracity of which was never confirmed.
Chris mentions Kim in his August 2009 video, Light His Mind's Darkest Hour, in which Chris states that Kim brought it to his attention that his Curse-ye-ha-me-ha of Liquid Chris was too harsh of a punishment.[20]
In Tito Got No Luck Against We Brits, Irish and Scots!, made on 14 March 2010, Chris mentions that he shares with The Wallflower a female friend, whom he nicknames Scarlet. Seeing that Kim's YouTube username is ScarletSanctum, this is likely a reference to her. In the video, Chris says that he forwarded to Scarlet the "admissions" of Surfshack Tito, likely referring to the email Tito sent him on the day the video was made.[21]
In the Autism Tutorials Chris made several mentions of a gal-pal of him named "Mic". Considering his fondness for anagrams, it is not unlikely to assume that Mic is a code name for Kim. In his first mention of Mic Chris bemoans her unwillingness to move him out of her friend zone.[22] If she is really Kim this suggest that at some point she broke up with Logan, as Chris would probably not try to take things with the her to next level if she wasn't boyfriend free.
In his last mention of Mic, Chris says that they do not often hang out with each other due to Mic being busy.[23]
After Chris retreated from public view into his private Facebook page in 2012, Kim followed him there and made regular comments on his wall. Her remarks are usually compliments or bits of gently proffered advice attempting to push Chris's socializing in a positive direction (though he does not often follow them) or occasionally some serious criticism (which he never follows).
On 5 September 2012 Anna McLerran called Kim out as a troll in a comment thread following one of Chris's posts. Either Chris ignored her accusation or he wasn't convinced, as he continued to recognize Kim as one of his few friends in subsequent updates.
