I doubt Chris could give less than a shit if it's not one of his toys
 
If Chris read this thread, how horrified could he be when people are speculating his mother's death, the cause and the aftermath?

He'd just give a little smug laugh at those idiots on the internet who think Barb can die. Everypony knows that she's just going to reincarnate into a Special Sonichu.

If he believes that his father is now a reincarnated Sonichu, I think it's safe to say that he believes that his mother will reincarnate as well. With that being said, like with most of the realities of the world he just erases from his mind and drowns himself in his fantasy world. Why would Barb's death be any different?

Autistic children struggle with the concept that their loved ones can just cease to be. Chris even more so. It wasn't Bob's death that affected him more so than him losing what Bob provided, which was more freedom to spend his tugboat as he wanted.

With Barb, I feel like Chris will be more outwardly affected on an emotional level as this is the woman who was essentially responsible for how he turned out. Chris has relied on her coddling since the day she fired him out of her snatch and when she finally becomes worm food he will probably start having imagined conversations with a drawing of her Sonichu-self. I don't think it'll be to the extent where he just refuses to acknowledge her decomposing corpse in the room.

Then again I wouldn't put it past Chris to just buy an industrial size container of DampRid, leave it in whatever part of the hoard she's entombed in, turn on a shitty $30 WalMart air purifier, and hope Clover & Snoopy take care of the rest.
 
Pretty sure that chris will go into care, or a mental ward or whatever. Or he might not know what hes going to do, probably he couldn't afford a burial for his own mother, maybe just maybe he will be homeless and live out on the street. Theres multiple things that could happen. But i hope he will be send into care. he clearly cannot care for himself or anyone around him.

Bob seemed pretty old fashioned so it's likely their burials are already paid for.

I think Bob's crypt has a plot for Barb next to it. Which is ironic since that'll probably be the first time they'll be sleeping next to each other since Chris was conceived.
 
There's been a lot of discussion about the horde and what will happen to it after the Big Day. I'd like to think of it as some kind of Collyer Brothers situation. tl;dw one brother becomes mentally and physically invalid and the other is crushed by their titanic hordewhile trying to bring the invalid some oranges.

Maybe Chris will be crushed by some McDonald's Happy Meal toy avalanche crashing down on him when he's making his way to Barb with some groceries.

Had to rate you optimistic for the idea of Chris leaving Barb to rot in the house and act like he's totally unaware of what's going on. Despite his delusions, Chris is still coherent enough to know if Barb was in a medical crisis and would call for an ambulance. During one of the BronyCons, he freaked out when Barb didn't answer his phone and then called 911 to check up on Barb because he thought she was in danger. This was also post-Idea Guys, if I recall correctly.

Barb will likely die in a hospital room and Bob already had the funerary arrangements taken care of back when he was alive, so I doubt we'll see some Norman Bates scenario when Barb dies.

Yeah, something people don’t always get that is how Chris is capable of genuine concern for people he’s attached to. The main issue is that the attachment he feels is mainly one-sided; he’d be more distraught at the lack of an emotional and financial security net. Barb and him don’t get along on a personal level, so while he’ll definitely be pretty upset for a while after, he’ll probably realize at some point that Barb was holding him back developmentally. Not that it’ll change much, but it won’t be the train wreck that people are clamoring for.

Not sure how that would play out. You don't just 'go into care' in Virginia- even assuming he would consent to that, since it would include rules. Nor do you easily get put into custodial care. He's bonkers but he's not crazy enough for that. People at Chris's level of nuts just end up homeless or in jail most of the time. If lucky with some sort of functioning (or someone to help them) they can apply and get benefits for subsidized housing but there's a process so it's not something you want to have to do quickly.

I don't know how Americans don't know this shit doesn't happen with the mentally ill in America. Maybe if they're Europeans or something, but seriously, no, you do not just get put in a home. You have to want it and ask for it and even then the waiting lists are long and you'd better have good insurance. Anything state-run is a snakepit and you'd be better off murdering someone to be in prison instead.

Chris failed to do this in 2011 because he was too fucking lazy and scared of Barb to finish off Snyder when he had the chance.

One thing is that the state mental health systems vary a great deal from state to state. In every state shit has gone seriously downhill since the Reagan years but some places actually have a mental health system that will take care of the serious and persistent if they come to the reasonably serious attention of the authorities (like New York) and some offer absolutely nothing except for NGRI/forensic systems (like Virginia.) I made the mistake earlier in the thread of applying my knowledge of New York to Virginia, and it simply isn't so. What they do with the mentally ill in a lot of states these days is absolutely disgraceful. I'd have to disagree on state hospitals being snake pits, maybe in the pre-Thorazine first half of the last century, but these days really it is the most caring environment available for the significantly mentally ill. But that's not saying much.
