The '''chronology of events''' in ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'', [[Christian Weston Chandler]]'s magnum opus, is extremely complicated for a series that only saw 11¼ issues in a six-year period. As with most of Chris's work, only the [[CWCki]] is capable of untangling the mess to establish when the hell things actually happened, and in what order.
"'''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.


There is considerable confusion as to the passage of time in ''Sonichu''. Although none of the characters seems to age at all (which would be consistent with most comics, video games, and cartoons), by late [[2008]] Chris had begun making it clear that several years had passed during the course of the storyline. We may never know if this had been his intent all along; it's equally possible that he suddenly made the announcement in reaction to [[trolls]] believing that [[Sonichu]] and [[Rosechu]] were underage at the time of their sex scene in [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' #8]]. Since then Chris has clarified that the adventures in Episodes 1–11 take place several years before he drew them. Stories involving Chris, however, such as the [[Sub-Episode]]s and Episodes 12 & 12.5, generally occur closer to the time-frame in which Chris drew them, usually to better coincide with the real-world events that inspired them. After that, however, events in the comic begin to fall behind real time; in mid-2008 Chris established the events of Episodes 13–17 as having occurred in the fall of 2007, nearly a year earlier. Later stories would make greater effort to show when they took place, which only served to show the gap widening. When Chris abandoned the series in [[February 2010]], he had left off with a [[Christmas]] story set in December 2008.
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 [[Chris and remorse|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 [[Night Star|sockpuppet account]] to roleplay the "proper" use of the term.

"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.
