Clarification

Considering Chris's looming detachment from reality at the time, and that the source material is based on a very niche franchise, issue 12-9—at least, until the follow up—was perhaps the most head-scratching of the comic book series.

Henceforth, the following will attempt to simplify Chris's story for puzzled readers:

Setting

There are multiple worlds and dimensions featured in the comic. As stated in the opening disclaimer, Chris believes that all events in the comics actually happened, so writes his comic as if they were a recollection of past events.

For the most part, the story takes place in Dimension C-197 – the dimension where fictional franchises all co-exist. Within this dimension—or as the comic permits it—exist multiple separate worlds that can be traversed via portals by exceptional characters/Mary Sues. These include:

• CWCville – home of Sonichu, Rosechu and most characters since Sonichu #0
• Equestria – home of all the characters from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
• Canterlot High School – home of all the characters from the My Little Pony: Equestria Girls spinoff

By following the My Little Pony rules, Chris has correctly stated that pony characters and their human equivalent characters exist in Equestria and the Canterlot High world, respectively. In the MLP spinoffs, when a pony crosses into the human world, they transform into a human and vice versa; thus, two versions of one character may be present in one scene.

Our universe is also portrayed (later dubbed Dimension 1218). Real life Chris is portrayed as a child watching Ghostbusters (pages 3-4), as an adult, communicating with CWCville (page 9), and in his bedroom (page 54-55). The rules on transforming also apply to our universe.

Chris introduces the Konami Code as a universal plot device to bypass any transformations when crossing worlds.

Characters

Chris based the following characters on himself:

Night Star

Main article: Night Star

This is probably what it looks like in Equestria.

The primary protagonist of #12-9, Night Star is Equestria's manifestation of Chris (otherwise known as a ponysona in the brony community). Bearing in mind that they are separate entities, Night Star explicitly states that she and real life Chris are linked psychically, and share some similar life events. Night Star engages in her own Love Quest, firstly with Diamond Melody (Act 2) and with Kun T'Nyuget (Act 3 onwards).

In Equestria, she writes the infamous comic book series, with the all humans presumably replaced by horses. Despite her mundane role as a freelance comic book writer in the society, Night Star possesses abilities comparable to that of the royalty in the source material; she is virtually flawless and immensely overpowered. A notable ability of hers is that she can transform at her own will between several forms, including Electric Hedgehog Pokémon, Night Star Rosechu, because it all has to tie somewhere.

Night Star's origins date back to early 2017. Both her name and cutie mark were appropriated from quizzes which generated results based on user answers. Chris revealed Night Star on 3 June 2017 and the character was used to bind Chris to My Little Pony henceforth.

Christine Doll

taken in january 2017, before night star was created. Look at the cutie mark

Perhaps one of the most perplexing entries in the canon, "Miss Christine Night Weston Star Chandler" (or the Christine Doll for for the sake of simplicity) is the Canterlot High School version of Chris, or Night Star's human counterpart. She is also the secondary protagonist of this comic.

The comic describes Christine Doll is described as a "prototypical friend", as Chris based her yellow-skinned design on his previous MLP self-insert of the same name, created no later than August 2016. The original doll was a custom, using pieces from other character dolls such as Vinyl Scratch's skirt/cutie mark.

In Act 1, upon entry into Canterlot High School, Night Star slaps a cutie mark on Christine Doll's thigh, which activates a transformation in her. This instantly adjusts her appearance to match that of her Equestria counterpart, and brings her into "mental sync". Behind the scenes, having created an identical copy of Night Star, Chris was forced to change the color of the Doll's skirt for the duration of her appearance. Chris may have went through with the transformation scene as a way of keeping his characters up to date, but paying homage to his previously favored design.

Chris may have been inspired by My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Friendship Games, which ditches the major ties to the Pony world and introduces a previously unseen human equivalent of a major character who is drastically different to the character viewers are familiar with. However, instead of evolving and adapting his character through an insightful story arc, Chris decided to skip such complexity.

Comic Chris

This is comic chris, the retard we have been seeing since sonichu 0. He doesn't appear in 12-9 anywhere, he is talked about a couple of times but the Chris irl images that are used later on are all real chris (distinct from comic chris) =

Real Chris

This is the IRL Chris. It can be proven that real chris and canterllot or comic chris aren't the same based on the discalimer page for 12-9 which states "Christine" written in cuursive is real chris and "christinel"written in normal font is comic chris.

Chris concludes the issue with himself crossing into Equestria, turning into an alicorn — basically a Night Star lookalike with pegasus wings.

explanation

People have confused the christine doll and comic chris, thinking they are both the same. While they are actually not.

What leads me to believe this is that Chris calls the doll a prototypical friend, as in she was a prototype of a self insert who was later replaced with Night star. Why Chris didn't just forget about her is easy to answer, chris thinks that all of this shit happens somewhere and based on how he acted towards the doll in public, it can be easily guessed he had fantasized about the doll fucking around in cwcville. So forgetting her would be equivalent to killing a character, instead he did the transformation sequence seen in sonichu 12-9 with the new cutie mark (originally, the christine doll didn't have a distinct mark. It used the same mark as dj-pon3 this can be seen in the january 2017 post). He then placed this old unupdated character in Canterlot high who was later transformed.

So why all this mumbo-jumbo and cutie marks? Well in june 2017, chris was on one of the shitty mlp cutie mark generator websites where he got the heart with wings symbol from (he mixed this with the shooting star cutie mark he received in april 2017) and created the new symbol. Since chris is stupid and takes these websites at face value, he made a new character (Night star) instead of rewriting canterlot chris as that would be killing her.

Why did chris do the transformation scene I.e why did he bother changing canterlot chris from yellow to pink? This is harder to answer but what I believe is that he took what was written on the pony website to be fact so his yellow character no longer was a mirror of chris, night star was. But as he couldn't just kill her off, Chris in a kind of smart way said that the trasnformation is actually canterlot chris discovering her true self.

Conclusion

In summary, by the end of issue #12-9, there are now 3 self inserts in Chris's canon:

1. Comic Chris
2. Night Star
3. "Canterlot Chris"

One more thing to note, Chris actually thinks there are 3 versions of each real human as can be seen with Jessica quinns character. In the arc 1, we see night star telling canterlot chris to go meet diamond melody for the first time (arc 2 actually occurs before arc 1, check my timeline of sonichu 12-9 page and the equestrian calendar page for why).

In arc 2 we see Night star meeting diamond melody for the first time. This can only happen if Canterlot high and Ponyville are two separate pllaces.

Btw there are two pink ponies at the end of sonichu 12-9 because one of them is night star, the other is real life chris (not comic chris)in pony form.
