Maybe already fucking lot of people asked this but do you think Chris actually has a future?
Like, with the right therapy perhaps or when Barb passes.
I wish the best for Chris but he just seems too far gone to me.
Hes been almost for over 20 years believing still believing his OC's are real and will make them money (Well it is because of his patreon)
Now i know Null is helping him but seeing his last emails with Chris about the TMG incident which was basicly about Chris rambling mostly about CPU's and some information about the whole incident when Null asked about it.
Im not sure Chris is going to Brony-con but im sure if he pulls some kind of shit again they will either tell him to fuck off or accept him because to be honest everyone at brony con is probably :autism:.
I dont know if i am worried about Chris his future financialy or about his grasp on reality.
If Barb dies Chris will be able to perhaps move to a small appartment with cheap rent so he can use the rest of the money for food.
Buuut probably just getting my hopes up.
He has a future as in he won't die or anything, but he won't be a productive member of society. He is a lazy manchild with zero work ethic and is afraid to put himself in unfamiliar situations (and refuses to do so). When Barb croaks, the house is as good as gone. He will have to move into a rent-controlled apartment. He will pretty much do what he does now, only in a new place of living. He has his tugboat and probably will have other forms of welfare, so he won't starve or be broke, but his grip on reality isn't going to become normal unless he goes to therapy (which ain't gonna happen).
And other than filtering emails and being his secretary of sorts, I doubt Null will be able to help much. Chris is very stubborn when he wants something and he wants to believe Cwcville is real and he has a polygamous relationship with fictional characters. He won't change unless he wants to change, and he sure as hell doesn't.
Good parents would've worked to get Chris a job to instill a sense of purpose in him. On one side of my family, I have 6 cousins. Two of those 6 are intellectually disabled. One has autism, one I have no idea what the hell he has but he's super quiet and intellectually slow. The one with autism used to have a job. One day, he quit it and instead collects disability. He lives with my weirdo uncle and aunt and does nothing all day. He did have a few hambeast girlfriends, but they used him for his tugboat $. The other cousin works as a custodian for a cleaning service. He lives with my other cousin as his roommate, pays his share of rent, his own food, etc...
For people like Chris, having a job gives them a sense of purpose. The disabled guy working as a grocery bagger or stocking shelves has a sense of purpose and a reason to wake up in the morning. Unfortunately, Chris was coddled as a kid and had terrible parents so he never was put in uncomfortable situations to learn to deal with adversity.
