'''Death''' is a concept that Chris has a notably hard time understanding and/or coping with, be it the death of a human or an [[Patti Chandler|animal]], or even a [[Simonla Rosechu|fictional character]].
[[Image:PattiLuv.jpg|thumb|Rest in peace...?]]


His poor reactions to death most likely come from Chris's lack of empathy, and childish thought patterns. Children often don't understand death, usually just thinking it's "like sleeping forever" or "just leaving." Chris, being a child inside, can only resort to these clumsy analogies to understand death.
'''Death''' is a concept that Chris has a notably hard time understanding and/or [[Chris and coping|coping]] with, be it the death of a [[Bob Chandler|human]] or an [[Patti Chandler|animal]], or even an [[imaginary friend]]. While Chris certainly has the capacity to grieve, and has undergone several periods of grieving in his life in response to deaths in his family, his other reactions towards deaths are considerably more perplexing.


Here are the departed souls, in order from earliest to latest:
His poor reactions to death most likely come from Chris's near-inability to empathize (a common symptom of [[autism]]), and childish thought patterns. Children often don't understand death, usually just thinking it's "like sleeping forever", "just leaving", or in Chris's mind, "merged with their counterpart from [[C-197]]."  Chris, being a child inside, can only resort to these clumsy analogies to understand death.


==Deaths==
==Family==
===Every single victim of the World Trade Center attacks (d. 2001)===
In the [[Twin Falling Towers]] video of 1 [[November 2009]], Chris makes fun of [[Clyde]] and says that he is as weak as the [[Wikipedia:World Trade Center|Twin Towers]]. He then shows the mouse cursor crashing into the buildings, complete with sound effects.


===[[Patti Chandler]] (1988-2006)===
===Various ancestors===
Patti was Chris's pet dog, and she died in June 2006. Chris apparently drew a picture of a crying Sonichu face on the signature confirming the euthanasia process.<ref>[http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Eulogy_for_Patti&diff=4455&oldid=4454 Eulogy for Patti] on the [[CWCipedia]]</ref> As seen in the image used in this article, Patti also appeared in the comic, immortalized as a furry character named [[Patti-Chan]]. This is particularly disturbing in that Chris has apparently decided to deny his dog the afterlife that he presumably believes in in favor of locking her in his own [[CWCville|personal hell]].
Chris claimed that, at Aunt Corrina's funeral, his ancestors wished him a safe [[Ohio trip|trip to Ohio]] to meet [[Julie]].<ref>[[Jackie Chat 7]]</ref>
 
===Aunt Corrina (1934–2009)===
Chris's aunt, [[Aunt Corrina|Corrina Inge]], passed away in [[February 2009]] from lung cancer. When Chris informed [[Julie]] that his aunt was dying, Julie insisted that Chris visit her in the hospital, which he had not considered doing. He asked Barb about visiting her, and she dissuaded him, saying she wouldn't know he was there (implying, if true, that Corrina might've also had a form of dementia, or would be too sick to talk to him). However, he did get the chance to tell Corrina that he loved her over the phone before she died.<ref>[[BlueSpike PSN Chat 2#A wild Snorlax appears!]]</ref>
 
Corrina's funeral happened to fall on Chris's birthday, which also happened to be [[wikipedia:Shrove Tuesday|Shrove Tuesday]] (also known as [[Obesity|Fat]] Tuesday or Mardi Gras), a Christian holiday that in some churches involves pancake dinners. Naturally, Chris was more concerned about missing out on the pancakes at [[Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church|his church at home]] than he was about the funeral of his own aunt.
 
When the "I know how to be sad because my dog died" excuse fails, Chris usually follows up with an offhand mention of his Aunt Corrina. If that fails, the deaths of his many sweethearts tends to follow.
 
===Bob Chandler (1927–2011)===
[[File:Chandler_Niche.jpg|thumb|The crypt in which Bob lies and Barb will also one day lie.]]
 
[[File:RobertchuBackHome.jpg|thumb|One of the ways Chris coped with the death, believing his father occasionally comes back as an [[imaginary friend]].]]
 
After a long battle with heart failure, the life of Chris's father [[Bob]] came to an end in [[September 2011]], while he was being hospitalized in the [[wikipedia:Martha Jefferson Hospital|Martha Jefferson Hospital]]'s ICU.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20130211071324/http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/dailyprogress/obituary.aspx?n=robert-franklin-chandler&pid=153539600 Bob's Obituary] (archive from 11 Feb 2013)</ref>
 
In an unreleased call with [[Jackie]], Chris broke down sobbing over his father's death.<ref>[[CWCki Forums posts (Marvin)#The Black Tape]]</ref> The call, referred to by fans as the "Black Tape", was sealed out of empathy for Chris.
 
In an email, Chris told Jackie that ''"my heavier cries from my father's passing is really hitting me bad"'', and lamented that in a previous [[dream]] the Grim Reaper had promised that he would not claim Bob until 2015.<ref>[[Jackie E-mails 31]]</ref>
 
In a 31 [[March 2012]] Facebook message, Chris expressed a desire for Bob's ghost to haunt the dreams of anyone who doesn't like him, putting him on the exact same level as his dead dog. While this was an understandable reaction to discovering "plans" that trolls were going to dig her up, or discovering a webcomic that contained what he considered a mockery of her memory, his threat to send Bob's ghost after people is equal parts disrespectful and unreasonable.
 
In a [[Facebook]] post from [[June 2013]], Chris laments that he had more freedom when his father was still alive, and goes onto complain about how he has to take time out of his day to "[[Affair with Mother|serve and protect]]" [[Barbara Chandler|his mother]]. Knowing Chris, this presumably means that he sat around in [[Chris's room|his room]] playing [[vidya]] while his elderly father did most of the [[Chores|work around the house]].
 
In [[CLog 09042017 - Mister C]], Chris, while reading [[Bob's Letters to Chris|letters from his late father]], displays emotion over him, tearing up at times.
 
During the [[Idea Guy]] saga and the rather disturbing events that took place within it, Joshua convinced Chris that Bob had reincarnated as a Sonichu with plaid-colored fur, in reference to his nickname "the internet lumberjack" (Chris later retconned his design to a much simpler plain red design because plaid fur was [[Chris and work|too much effort]]), and turned up in CWCville alongside [[Ted Bundy]] to defend the city. Using an autistic man-child's dead father to troll them is disgusting enough as it is; convincing them that said father is still alive in another dimension to help with their extortion efforts is on another level of fucked.
 
Chris, to this day, still believes their bullshit, and will probably never accept that his father is gone forever; while in many cases believing a loved one is in a [[Chris and religion| better place after death]] is actually a very common and usually quite healthy way of coping with their passing, literally believing they are alive in your own fantasy dimension is actually extremely uncommon and [[Chris and health|extremely unhealthy]].
 
===Barbara Chandler (1941–)===
{{quote|I really have none.|Chris on whether he has plans in place for after Barbara passes away.<ref>[[Internet Dream Lounge]]</ref>}}
 
[[Barbara]] is Chris's surviving parent.
 
Alongside Bob, who Chris entered a protracted period of grieving for after his passing, Barbara was one of the few people in Chris's life that he cared about enough to genuinely fear her passing, and Barbara used this to [[manipulate]] Chris into following orders on multiple occasions; one such instance of this was in [[2011]] (prior to Bob's death), in which she threatened to commit suicide as a last resort to stop Chris from his poorly-thought-out plan to attend [[MAGfest]] in Maryland that year by sleeping in his car as he did not have the money to afford a hotel room - a distraught Chris backpedaled, receiving only more guilt-tripping and down payment on some [[vidya]] as a consolation prize.<ref>[[LoveYouLongTime E-mails, 2011-2012#Borb vs MAGfest]]</ref> Barbara used her health as a scare tactic for so long that it instilled paranoia into Chris - on one occasion when Barbara failed to answer the phone when Chris called her while out, Chris panicked and called 911 for a [[welfare check]].<ref>[[Kiwi Farms posts (Marvin)#Welfare Check on Barbara]]</ref>
 
In [[November 2015]], Chris released [[Family Needs to appreciate Family]], where he addressed [[Cole Smithey]], [[David Alan Chandler]] and [[Carol Suzanne Chandler]] to visit Barb before "her time runs out".
 
In [[November 2019]], Chris posted a tweet where he copes with the mortality of his mother, imagining her becoming a part-human/part-Rosechu hybrid after death, in the same vein he believed that Bob reincarnated into Robertchu after death.<ref>https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1190686432047837184</ref>
 
{{quote|Had I Not healed her, she would be dead Late August.|Chris on "[[Soul Bonding]]" with Barbara, November 2021<ref name=nov21>[[Jail Letter - 16 November 2021]]</ref>}}
 
Following Chris's [[August 2021]] arrest for [[incest]] with Barbara, which saw him confined to [[Central Virginia Regional Jail]] for nearly two years, he began to shift in his attitude towards her.
 
Chris began claiming that "[[Soul Bonding]]" with her was a method of healing her, and that she would have died without it.<ref name=nov21></ref>
 
Barbara was involved in a traffic collision on 24 [[November 2021]].<ref>[[:File:Barbara Chandler Fail to Yield Right-of-Way charge.png]]</ref> She suffered two broken ribs and a concussion. Chris took credit for having healed her with his "soul-bonding" when explaining that she had survived the crash.<ref>[[Jail Letter - 27 November 2021]]</ref>
 
Barbara chose to remain living in [[14 Branchland Court]], despite Chris wanting to move back. At the time, Chris claimed there was a restraining order against himself and Barbara. In a jail letter, he complained that, despite having guided her soul into her Rosechu form/body, Barbara's soulless husk still clings onto life inside the house. He further claimed:<ref>[[Jail Letter - 22 July 2022 (2)]]</ref>
 
{{quote|[It] is indeed clear and obvious, especially to all with spiritual and psychic ability, that she is sickly, and her passing on is to be from emotions. Yet, again, she still Lives, and zombie-like as well. And this was and is Fact through-out the majority of branching alternate Timelines since August, 2021, wherein she Had died in most of them by now.}}
 
...indicating that he had been [[Meditation|meditating]] over her death, in his selfish desire to inherit the house from her.
 
===Chris himself (1982–)===
{{quote|And Believe Me, IN DREAMS, and even IN MOMENTS within my mind while AWAKE, I HAVE SEEN AND FELT That Death Light. Not only is it the Most Horrifying Thing Ever, but I am [[Chris and English|LOOOONG NOT READY FOR IT YET]].|Chris, on his visions of death.<ref>[[ChrisChanSonichu and WikiSysop correspondence#Size does not matter. (CCS)|ChrisChanSonichu and WikiSysop correspondence]]</ref>}}
 
In a conversation with the [[CWCipedia]] sysop [[Cogsdev]], Chris once mentioned that he had been receiving recurring visions of himself walking into a bright light, which he one day hoped would be prevented from appearing by getting a sweetheart. After the surreal conclusion of the love quest in 2018, it is unknown if he still gets these visions.
 
In a Facebook post on 30 [[October 2013]], Chris stated that he had become so [[stress|stressed]] out (specifically, over [[October_2013_Facebook_Posts#Reality_Comes_Knocking|the revelation]] that his [[Manchester High School|high school]] [[gal pal|gal-pals]] did not actually like him much at all), that he had contemplated killing himself multiple times. According to Chris, the only reasons he did not go through with it are [[Barbara Chandler|painfully]] [[Clover and Snoopy|obvious]]. This shows just how much Chris's [[Chris and mental healthcare|mentality]] has drained, and how badly he needs the professional help he so stubbornly refuses to get. Of course, this could well be Chris exaggerating and trying to gain pity as he has done in the past, and as his mother allegedly also has (or at least, used to have) a habit of doing. In all seriousness, however, suicide is no laughing matter, and this should be looked at with caution.


To Chris, her death is the greatest tragedy of his life, which he often compares to the deaths of other people's family members and loved ones. Not surprisingly, every single person he has said this to has become horribly offended. In [[Chris's Plea to Clyde Cash]], he equates Ryan Cash's death with Patti's, and in the [[Father Call]], he equates the death of Matthew Devoria's mother in the 9/11 attacks.
In a 2019 Discord chat between his fantasy enablers, Chris had claimed that he is set to live for thousands of years.<ref name=deathcope></ref>


Oddly enough, Patti may have been the only being Chris ever cared about. On the one year anniversary of her death, Chris even broke down in tears and had to be consoled by his mother.<ref>[[Megan emails, Jan-July 2007#Chris is sad about Patti]]</ref> By comparison, the "death" of any Sweetheart will result in a few days of mourning at best.
In [[August 2020]], Chris (pretending that his body was being possessed by [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]]) uploaded a [[Chris's Last Will and Testament|video will]], apparently in case his body vanished from this dimension ([[1218]]).


It should be noted though that despite all of Chris's fondness for Patti, her memory was still not safe from being [[It's not that cold|defiled by him]].
==Pets==


===RocketFox's Dad (1966-2008)===
===Patti (1988–2006)===
RocketFox's Dad used to be an [[alcohol]]ic, but recovered and stayed sober for ten years. However, his liver failed and he passed away in mid-October 2008. When RocketFox asked Chris for advice on how to cope, Chris considered it an "accident" and went on a spiel about how bad alcohol was.<ref>[[IRC (16 October 2008)]]</ref> This is actually the first death during the [[troll]]ing, and it was mentioned to Chris to see how he would react to such news, and as mentioned, Chris did so poorly. [[Ryan]]'s death and Chris's reaction cemented this.


===[[Sarah Jackson]] (1981-2008)===
[[Patti]] was the Chandler family's pet dog, who died in [[June 2006]]. Chris apparently drew a picture of a crying [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] face on the signature confirming the euthanasia process.<ref>[http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Eulogy_for_Patti&diff=4455&oldid=4454 Eulogy for Patti] on the [[CWCipedia]]</ref> As seen in the image used in this article, Patti also appeared in the [[Sonichu (comic)|comic]], immortalized as a furry character named [[Patti-Chan]]. This is particularly disturbing in that Chris has apparently decided to deny his dog the afterlife that he presumably believes in favor of locking her in his own [[CWCville|personal hell]].
A former heartsweet of Chris (and Decepticon) who was killed in a carefully executed plan by [[Optimus Prime]]. Sarah Jackson, like Patti, was used in his comic for a while as "Ms. Jackaras" in [[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]]. Unlike Patti, Ms. Jackaras gets the same fate as her non-comic counterpart, and is replaced by her sister, who continues the lesson anyway. None of the ''Sonichu'' characters mourn the loss of their professor.


===[[Ryan Cash]] (1996-2008)===
To Chris, her death is the greatest tragedy of his life, which he often compares to the deaths of other people's family members and loved ones. Unsurprisingly, every single person he has said this to has become horribly offended. In [[Chris's Plea to Clyde Cash]], he equates [[Ryan Cash]]'s death with Patti's, and in the [[Father Call]], he equates it to the death of [[Matthew Devoria]]'s mother in the 9/11 attacks.
Ryan was Clyde's brother who was a huge fan of [[Sonichu]]. After the [[Sonichu (comic)|comics]] were delayed over and over, Ryan fell into a depression and committed suicide. Chris, of course, [[Captain's Log, Stardate December 28th, 2008|reacted to this]] in an inconsiderate manner, telling Clyde and his family to "just move on", and marveling at his power to incite suicide. He also suggested that Clyde get a girlfriend who could make him just as happy as Ryan could have, which (disturbing implications aside) indicates that Chris seems to regard people as more or less fungible. This also helps explain why Chris seems to be able to move on so quickly when one of his online "heartsweets" meets some unfortunate demise.


===[[PandaHalo]] (d. 2009?)===
On the 1-year anniversary of her death, Chris even broke down in tears and had to be consoled by his mother.<ref>[[Megan emails, Jan-July 2007#Chris is sad about Patti|Megan emails, Jan-July 2007]]</ref> By comparison, the "death" of any sweetheart will result in a few days of mourning at best.
Despite her being thousands of kilometers away from the bushfires, Chris assumed PandaHalo was dead. She is actually alive and kicking but Chris still doesn't know this. Two days after her "death," he went to find another sweetheart to [[Mass debating|mass debate]] to, saying "It's OK though, at least I have a [[Julie|good woman]] who's willing to be by my side at this point."<ref>[[Mumble 7#Summary]]</ref>.


Nine months later, [[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]] featured a special "memorial" to PandaHalo and a sequence in which she dies (off-screen) in a building fire after saving her "Pokemon", [[Chloe Rosechu]] and [[BlazeBob Sonichu]], so they wouldn't "burn with" her, not realizing that burning is an incredibly painful way to die.
It should be noted though that despite all of Chris's fondness for Patti, her memory was still not safe from being [[It's not that cold|defiled by trolls manipulating him]].


More recently, Chris "dedicated" all of [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]] to PandaHalo's memory. This would be almost touching, if the alleged dedication didn't wholly consist of how awesome Chris was for using Panda's cover artwork.
===Pollo (2003-2018)===


===[[Sarah May]]===
[[Pollo]] was a cat born sometime in [[2003]] that was adopted by Chris in [[2015]], who had passed away in [[May 2018]]. On 20 May 2018, Chris posted an urgent tweet to [[Twitter]] stating Pollo was having difficulty breathing, and that he needed money from [[eBay]] in order to take Pollo to the vet.<ref>[[May 2018 social media posts#Pollo is dying]]</ref>
After being called "[[Julie]]" multiple times, Sarah May attempted suicide over Mumble.<ref>[[Mumble 8]]</ref> Immediately after she went offline, rather than express any concern or try to find a way to stop her, Chris told Julie (who was also in the chat), "I still have you," with a completely emotionless "oh well" attitude. Julie was playing along with Chris, and did not react to Sarah's suicide attempt in any human-like fashion either; yet, it did not occur to Chris that Julie's behavior was ''in any way'' unnatural. Chris then made an [[CWC Shout Out to Sarah May|immature shout-out]] to her on a YouTube video, with tears faker than all his [[sweetheart]]s combined. The only reason he offered as to why she shouldn't commit suicide was that he would be sad without her.


===[[Aunt Corrina]] (1936-2009)===
Following a wave of backlash due to how Chris was seemingly using Pollo's sickly condition as a way to get sympathy donations, Chris would delete the tweet. Despite his plea for donations, Chris announced on Twitter that Pollo had passed away in the early hours of 20 May 2018, presumably due to the aforementioned breathing difficulties, and or other natural causes.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20201210123247/https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/998271176710406144</ref>
Chris's aunt Corrina had her funeral on Chris's birthday, which was also [[wikipedia:Shrove Tuesday|Shrove Tuesday]], a Christian holiday that involves eating pancakes. Needless to say, Chris cared more about the pancakes than the funeral of his own aunt.


When the "I know how to be sad because my dog died" excuse fails, Chris usually follows up with an offhand mention of his Aunt Corrina. If that fails, the deaths of his many sweethearts tends to follow.
According to Chris, Pollo was buried next to Patti's resting place.<ref>https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/998271909816033280</ref>


===[[Clyde Cash]] (1976-2009)===
===Sorbet (2016-2018)===
In early [[2009]], Christian seemed to be aware that Clyde Cash was supposedly dead, though he was suspicious of the idea. Regardless, he [[curse-ye-ha-me-ha|cursed]] Clyde in [[Captain's Log, Stardate August 18th, 2009]], just in case.


===[[BILLY MAYS]] (1958-2009)===
[[Sorbet]] was a cat Chris had adopted in [[2016]], who passed away in [[May 2018]]. In [[May 2017]], Sorbet wandered out of the house and was hit by a car.<ref>[[May_2017_Facebook_posts#Sorbet badly injured, staying at vet]]</ref> Fortunately, Sorbet would survive the incident after Chris took him to the vet,<ref>[[May_2017_Facebook_posts#Sorbet back from the vet, recovering]]</ref> however in [[Solar Eclipse Vlogs#Crescent Eclipse|a video about the solar eclipse]] from [[August 2017]], Sorbet was shown to seemingly have difficulties breathing.
In the video [[Captain's Log, Stardate July 1st, 2009]], Chris only seems to be upset over people blaming him for MAYS's death, and loudly denies that BILLY had ever been the mayor of [[CWCville]]. He doesn't even offer his condolences to MAYS's family. Down the line, Chris selfishly adopts the idea that MAYS was in fact his bodyguard and he died protecting Chris.


In ''Sonichu'' #9, Chris slaps in a one-page intro with BILLY saying that he was never was the Mayor, but was part of Chris's group. At the bottom was a message from Chris, asking him to "come back soon."
On 17 [[May 2018]], Chris posted to [[Facebook]] in order to announce that Sorbet had gone missing after he was let outside. Chris would put posters with information relating to Sorbet on several telephone poles near the area in hopes of finding him.<ref>[[May 2018 social media posts#Sorbet is Missing]]</ref>


===[[Ivy]] (1992-2009)===
However, Sorbet would not return, as in [[Misc texts#Sorbet deceased|a text message]] from [[October 2018]], Chris confirmed to a [[fan]] that Sorbet never came back and pronounced him dead. In order to cope with the loss of Sorbet, Chris claimed that Sorbet's soul had supposedly been reincarnated into dimension [[C-197]] as an anthropomorphic cat, and that he had since then been able to meet with him.<ref>[[Misc texts#Sorbet deceased]]</ref>
Ivy committed suicide after not being allowed to see Chris. Chris uploaded the [[CWC "Boyfriend"]] video as a memorial. Yes, a poorly sung remake of Avril Lavigne's happy, bouncy pop/punk song, with lyrics changed to be about how much Chris would like women to date him. Chris included  pictures of several past sweethearts in the video, making it less of a tribute to Ivy and more of a monument to Chris's failures.


Furthermore, as is unquestionably appropriate, Ivy's tragic demise was incorporated into issue #9. Rather than admit to having a hand in her suicide, Chris conjures up a magnificently gruesome accidental death, which involved having gotten her neck broken with elevator wires after falling through the elevator floor. Although this is a particularly troubling manipulation of what really happened, Chris more than makes up for it with gravitas; he gracefully, albeit belatedly, offers a tiny orange box in memory to Ivy 'O'Niel', taking pride of place underneath a backshot of [[Slaweel]] and some weird faux-[[Transformers]] actions. All of the above shows the leaps and bounds Chris has made in his appropriate handling of tragic deaths.
===Other Cats===


When confronted about this insanity in the [[Mailbag]], Chris got quite indignant, demanding to know what the questioner thought he should have done, since Ivy had died in real life and could no longer serve as Chris's [[GodJesus|God-given sweetheart]]. It's not clear whether it had ever crossed Chris's mind to keep this horrific death out of the pages of what is supposedly a comic aimed at children, or to let Ivy's character live on in CWCville like he had done for Patti and BILLY.
{{main|Chandler Cats#Deceased cats}}


===[[Wikipedia:Mary Jo Kopechne|Mary Jo]] (d. 2009)===
Multiple other now-deceased cats once resided within [[14 Branchland Court]], the most notable of which being [[Scamper]] (2006-2014), a cat that unfortunately passed away as a result of the [[2014 house fire]],<ref>[[CatKnight Interview 3]]</ref> and [[Patches]] ''(October 2018-November 2018)'', a kitten that sadly passed away due to complications relating to pneumonia only one week after Chris had adopted him.<ref>[[Kiwi Farms posts (The Captain)#Liza Update]]</ref>
In a [[Mailbag 27#Love and loss|mailbag]], Chris was asked by a [[Wikipedia:Ted Kennedy|troubled fan]] what he should do after the death of his beloved Mary Jo.


{{quote|Mary Jo is gone (I feel for you), but you should move on and try to find another woman who will treat you about as good, or possibly better than, her. Suck it up, and move on like a Man would. I tell you as a Man who had to do the same thing a few times in the past too.|Chris, being super-sensitive.}}
===Snoopy (2012-2021)===


Chris clearly states how he believes a death should be approached by a man (which includes finding another woman right away and a specific lack of grieving), and tells the traumatized fan that he should simply move onto a better woman since his girlfriend's death, not only being completely asinine, but also outlining that he believes women to be [[women's rights|replaceable and possibly interchangeable]].
[[Snoopy]] was a dog who was adopted by Barbara alongside [[Clover]] in [[May 2012]], who passed away in [[July 2021]].<ref name=snoopydeath>[[Kiwi Farms posts (Null)#Snoopy's Death]]</ref><ref name=eulogy>[[July 2021 social media posts#Eulogy for Snoopy]]</ref> Snoopy had apparently suffered a leg injury before he was adopted,<ref name=snoopydeath></ref> causing him to have trouble walking for the remainder of his life. Following a long period of seemingly improper feeding habits,<ref>[[:File:Snoopy, 7 December 2018.jpg]]</ref> Snoopy died in his sleep during the early hours of 14 July 2021.
[[Image:RIP mike.JPG|thumb|The obituary that Chris didn't even bother to read.]]


===Mike Jackson (1969-2010)===
After Snoopy's passing, Chris posted a eulogy dedicated to him on Twitter. In it, he explained that his neighbor and their daughter helped him bury Snoopy by a tree, making a stone mound around the burial to indicate where the body was. Chris was understandably distraught and saddened over the death of Snoopy, however, he still remained confident in his coping mechanism, the [[Dimensional Merge]]. On Twitter, Chris said that Snoopy was aware of the merge, which meant that him and Snoopy would reunite after the merge was complete. Chris would also bizarrely claim that he had seen an anthropomorphic version of Snoopy from another Dimension during his burial, stating that he looked like "a tall dog guy."<ref name=eulogy></ref>


Throughout [[January 2010]], a man named Mike Jackson sent Chris a series of friendly letters asking for advice, and then begging for help after Chris's amazingly bad advice completely ruined his life. Chris, caring soul that he is, promised the absolute minimum amount of effort (a [[YouTube]] video) and then never made good on his word.
==Imaginary friends==
Chris is also concerned over the deaths of his [[imaginary friends]] such as [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] and his pals. Since Chris believes all cartoon characters exist in some universe, and he had created Sonichu's, he feels that if he were to reboot the comics, that would mean that Sonichu and his friends would all die, and that they would all reincarnate into their newer rebooted versions.<ref>[[July 2017 Patreon posts#Delay on pages, no plans to reboot Sonichu|July 2017 Patreon posts]]</ref> Being his love and joy, the last thing on Chris's mind would be to kill his creations, but yet he is perfectly fine with freezing them in time with his hiatus on the series.  


Distraught over Chris's total lack of action, and terrified at the risk of having his family torn to pieces, Mike [[Mailbag 52#This, if anything, requires a canned response|died from a sleeping pill overdose]]. Mike's grieving widow generously decided to let Chris view the private obituary page set up for friends and family of the deceased, saying that Mike would have wanted her to treat Chris with respect and decency.
The [[Idea Guys]] allegedly extorted Chris out of thousands of dollars by telling him they would destroy [[CWCville]], which would lead to the deaths of Chris's imaginary friends. Chris paid up, even putting his own [[house]] at risk of foreclosure by skipping a mortgage payment to do so.


Chris responded to the news of Mike's death with the same copy-pasted bullshit he used to pretend he was listening to criticism.  The two infamous sentences made no sense in context and demonstrated beyond the shadow of a doubt that Chris could not care less about Mike's tragic death. It was revealed in [[Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 8]] that Chris didn't even view Mike's obituary page, and his [[Mailbag 56#In which Chris isn't sorry at all|response]] to Mike's grieving son was all of three words long.
Ironically, even when Chris inevitably does pass on and go forth to meet [[Christopher's name change#Leonard Bearstein|GodBear]], he will still be remembered; not only for his life and the many [[Sagas|humorous misadventures]] in it, but for his comics. Thus, it can be said that Sonichu will never truly die.


===Simonla Rosechu===
===Simonla Rosechu===
[[Image:SandyRosechu.jpg|80px|right|thumb|The bastard child in question.]]
[[Image:SandyRosechu.jpg|80px|right|thumb|The bastard child in question.]]
During the [[Asperchu]] saga, a recurring theme was [[Evan]]'s legal claims in regard to [[Simonla]] as a derivative of his character, [[Simonchu]]. While early demands were for Chris to edit his old strips to remove Simonla entirely from continuity, later Evan consented to letting Chris keep Simonla's early appearances, on the grounds that he kill her at a later date. Chris, not surprisingly, totally lost his shit, showing a much stronger emotional attachment to an empty, one-dimensional fictional character than he has managed for any living creature other than his dog. Finally, after being faced with the threat of legal action, Chris finally killed Simonla in issue #10, though not before she laid an egg out of wedlock with her baby-daddy [[Wild]] (though, of course, the act of laying the egg was never shown, or even mentioned), which hatched into [[Sandy Rosechu]].


It should be noted that, as revealed in the [[Alec Benson Leary Phone Calls]], Chris considers cartoon characters to be real, living creatures that exist in some other world reminiscent of Toon Town from ''[[Wikipedia:Who Framed Roger Rabbit|Who Framed Roger Rabbit]]''. Simonla's death was as real to him as that of any of his family members or sweethearts... perhaps even more so.

Simonla's death apparently continued to haunt Chris long afterwards. This led to him [[Simonla Rosechu#Resurrection|reviving Simonla]] around [[May 2014]], more than four years after her demise. It should be noted that, as revealed in the [[Alec Benson Leary Phone Calls]], Chris considers cartoon characters to be real, living creatures that exist in some other world reminiscent of Toon Town from ''[[Wikipedia:Who Framed Roger Rabbit|Who Framed Roger Rabbit]]''. Simonla's death was as [[Chris and reality|real]] to him as that of any of his family members or sweethearts... perhaps even more so.
 
==Troll manipulation==
A favorite tactic of [[trolls]] is to [[manipulate]] Chris into reacting to scenarios involving death, a concept in contrast to Chris's childish mentality and thus guaranteeing he would either react in odd ways or in ways that could be used as ammo against him for future trolling. The scenarios, though fictional, were presented to Chris under the pretense they were true. While Chris generally went along with the claims under pressure from troll manipulation, he did maintain some skepticism, such as when he expressed disbelief to [[Kacey]] months later on the [[Ryan Cash]] suicide scenario.<ref name=skeptical>[[Kacey Call 18]]</ref>
 
The first death scenario trolls experimented with, in October 2008, was that of a fan whose father had passed away from [[Alcohol|alcoholism]]. When asking Chris for advice on [[coping]], Chris briefly replied that the fan will recover from the father's "accident" and then advised the fan not to become an alcoholic.<ref>[[IRC (16 October 2008)]]</ref>
 
[[File:Ryan memorial.PNG|thumb|Chris's memorial to Ryan in ''[[Sonichu 8]]''.]]
 
A few months later, another death scenario was invented by trolls, involving the [[Ryan Cash]] character, designed to provoke Chris over his lack of work ethic on the ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'' comic; the fabrication was that Ryan had been a ''Sonichu'' fan and committed suicide when Chris stopped updating it. Trolls badgered Chris over multiple chats to keep acknowledging the death, not satisfied with his brief replies on the death being sad. Trolls then elevated matters by having the [[Clyde Cash]] character threaten Chris with revenge over the death of his brother. A frustrated Chris recorded a video in which he tried to reason with Clyde, and put his foot in his mouth by suggesting that if Clyde got a girlfriend it would help him get over the death.<ref>[[Chris's Plea to Clyde Cash]]</ref>
 
===Sweethearts===
{{Quote|Sometimes I remember her, but I have moved on.|[[Chris]] on the late [[PandaHalo]].<ref>[[Regina e-mails]]</ref>}}
 
Trolls also carried out the death scenario fabrications using a few of their [[sweetheart]] characters. Chris had blunt responses to the supposed deaths and seemingly adjusted quickly when another sweetheart character professed to be in love with him.
 
[[File:SchuComic9P75.jpg|thumb|The fiery death of PandaHalo.]]
 
When [[PandaHalo]]'s character arc ended, Chris believed that her silence meant she might have been a victim of the [[Wikipedia:Black Saturday bushfires|Australian Black Saturday bushfires]] (despite her location being hundreds of kilometers away). Shortly after her apparent death, the [[Julie]] sweetheart character was introduced to Chris. In a Mumble chat where trolls directed the conversation to PandaHalo's fate, Chris said, "It's OK though, at least I have a good woman who's willing to be by my side at this point."<ref>[[Mumble 7]]</ref> Nine months later, [[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]] featured a special "memorial" to PandaHalo and a sequence in which she dies (off-screen) in a building fire after saving her "Pokemon", [[Chloe Rosechu]] and [[BlazeBob Sonichu]], so they wouldn't "burn with" her. Chris also "dedicated" all of [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]] to PandaHalo's memory. This would be almost touching, if the alleged dedication didn't wholly consist of how awesome Chris was for using Panda's cover artwork.
 
The [[Sarah May]] character claimed to attempt suicide after Chris accidentally called her "[[Julie]]" multiple times in a call.<ref>[[Mumble 8]]</ref> After Chris attempted to talk her down, Sarah May went offline still claiming she would kill herself. Julie, also in the chat, was playing along, and did not react to Sarah's suicide attempt in any human-like fashion; yet, it did not occur to Chris that Julie's behavior was unnatural. Chris told Julie, "Well at least I still have you." Chris then made recorded [[CWC Shout Out to Sarah May]], in which the only reason he offered as to why she shouldn't commit suicide was that he would be sad without her.
 
When the [[Ivy]] character arc was forced to end due to [[Rocky Shoemaker]]'s intervention, trolls came up with the scenario that she committed suicide by hanging after being upset she couldn't be in contact with Chris. Chris uploaded [[CWC "Boyfriend"]] as a memorial, a poorly-sung remake of Avril Lavigne's happy, bouncy pop-punk song, with lyrics changed to be about how much Chris would like women to date him. Chris included pictures of several past sweethearts in the video, making it less of a tribute to Ivy and more of a monument to Chris's failures. Ivy's demise was incorporated into [[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]], in the form of a gruesome accidental death, which involved having gotten her neck broken with elevator wires after falling through the elevator floor.

In a Mailbag answer to the troll scenario of a fan grieving over the loss of his girlfriend, Chris clearly states how he believes a death should be approached by a man (which includes finding another woman right away and a specific lack of grieving), and tells the traumatized fan that he should simply move onto a better woman since his girlfriend's death, not only being completely asinine, but also outlining that he believes women to be [[women's rights|replaceable and possibly interchangeable]].
 
==Terrorism and assassination==
[[File:Memory-card-15-2.jpg|200px|thumb|A Memory Card noting the 9/11 tragedy, next to the Dark Arbok Pokémon card Chris had purchased on that day.]]


===[[Chandler Cats#Desi|Desi]] and [[Chandler Cats#Skittles|Skittles]] Chandler (precise date of deaths unknown; no later than 10 April 2010)===
Chris has a very juvenile understanding of terrorism and its effect on the world.


In an email Chris sent to [[Jackie]], he [[Jackie E-mails#Chris is lazy, Hates simple chores|mentions having three cats]] (Lucy, Kitty and Scamper), despite the fact that he was previously known to have had two additional cats (Desi and Skittles). This suggests that by the time of the correspondence both had died, or had at least departed from [[14 Branchland Court]] in some other way. No documentation exists of Chris's reaction to their loss.
On the 9/11 terrorist attack, Chris wrote that it was the worst day in 2001, summarizing it as "an airplane was stolen and crashed in New York." Eight years later, trolls exploited Chris's childish mentality in order to [[Chris and manipulation|manipulate]] him into making the [[Twin Falling Towers]] video, suggesting that he should mock [[Clyde Cash]] by saying he's as weak as the Twin Towers. Chris failed to discern that he was being set up, producing a video in which he used his mouse cursor to "crash" into a picture of the buildings, while making explosion sound effects, and taunting Clyde. After it backfired on him, Chris recorded [[Apology for 9/11 Joke]].


===[[Wikipedia:Murder of Yeardley Love|Yeardley Love]] (1987-2010)===
On the November 2015 Paris terrorist attack, Chris expressed a modicum of grief in his own simple way, but equated the real-life atrocity which killed over 120 people with the actions of a "cartoon villain", suggesting he still has a poor grasp of the difference between reality and fantasy.<ref>[[Chris's Response to the Terrorism Attacks in Paris]]</ref>
Yeardley Love was a lacrosse player for [[UVA]] who was murdered. Chris uploaded a [[05142010|video]] discussing the story (which he probably just saw on TV for a few minutes), but didn't even bother to say her name. He also stated that the murderer should get 20 years in prison for the shock of the murder, which is twice his desired punishment for [[Tobacky|smoking]]. Later in the video, [[Chris and his Ego|he rerouted the subject towards himself]] and stated how everyone needed to be sympathetic of him and his autism and that he's not a bad man. In other words, he used the death of a girl he never knew in an attempt to make himself look good.


===[[Bob Chandler|Robert Franklin Chandler Jr.]] (1927-2011)===
At some point in fall 2020, Chris tried asking [[Null]] to kill someone.<ref>[[Kiwi Farms posts (Null)#Wanting Null to Kill Someone]]</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftnLqowE1Gk</ref>
After a long battle with cancer, Bob's life came to an end while he was being hospitalized in the [[wikipedia:Martha Jefferson Hospital|Martha Jefferson Hospital]]'s ICU.<ref>http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/dailyprogress/obituary.aspx?n=robert-franklin-chandler&pid=153539600</ref> The fact that on the day Bob died Chris posted an online [[attraction sign]] in the form of a [[Facebook#What I am looking for in a woman|facebook note]] reflects poorly on him. However, he later told [[Jackie]] that ''"my heavier cries from my father's passing is really hitting me bad."'', and lamented that in a previous [[dreams|dream]] the Grim Reaper had promised that he would not claim Bob until 2015.<ref>[[Jackie E-mails 31]]</ref>


In a March 31, 2012 Facebook message, Chris expressed a desire for Bob's ghost to haunt the dreams of anyone who doesn't like him, putting him on the exact same level as his dead dog. While this was an understandable reaction to discovering "plans" that trolls were going to dig her up, or discovering a webcomic that contained what he considered a mockery of her memory, his threat to send Bob's ghost after people is equal parts disrespectful and unreasonable.
==Suicide==
{{quote|[Suicide]'s taboo in Sonichu culture. The moment you threaten it, you're not considered a Sonichu.|An [[Idea Guy]] posing as [[Cryzel Rosechu]] talking Chris out of contemplating suicide.<ref name=bad>[[The Bad Beginning]]</ref>}}


In a [[Facebook]] post from [[June 2013|June]] of [[2013]], Chris laments that he had more freedom when his father was still alive, and goes onto complain about how he has to take time out of his day to [[Jerkop|"serve and protect"]] [[Barb|his mother]]. Knowing Chris, this presumably means that he sat around in [[Chris's room|his room]] playing [[vidya]] while his elderly father did most of the [[chores|work around the house]].
Chris considered suicide in [[October 2013]] after discovering that past events and friends were nothing more than trolls or arranged acquaintances. However, he ruled out suicide, not only because of Barb and his pets but also because of his belief (at the time) that suicide would leave him in Limbo.<ref>[[October 2013 Facebook Posts#Reality Comes Knocking]]</ref>


===[[Barbara Chandler]] (1941-)===
In [[April 2018]], during a chat with the [[Idea Guys]] in which they psychologically abused Chris, he commented that he would commit suicide. The Idea Guys then talked him out of considering it by drilling into his mind that suicide is taboo in Sonichu culture and that Chris could not be a Sonichu if he committed suicide.<ref name=bad></ref>
Barbara, much like Bob, has been experiencing many illnesses in the past few years. Barbara suffers from obesity, and this constitutes to her poor health, which includes oversleeping and bed sores. In August 2013, Chris revealed that Barbara is now a breast cancer survivor, which also reveals more serious health problems for Barbara. It may not be long before Barbara keels over, leaving Chris without his coddling mother to keep him company.


===Chris himself (1982-)===
In [[June 2018]], when talking about the infamous line "Zap to the extreme", Chris said he literally feels electricity in his body, then states that he isn't killing himself.<Ref>[[June 2018 social media posts#Zap to the Extreme]]</ref>
Given Chris's notoriously [[Obesity|bad diet]], lack of [[Chris and Health|activity]], [[14 Branchland Court|hygiene]] or [[Chris and the Internet|social interaction]], on top of a complete lack of [[Fuck Quest|motivation]] or [[Chris and Remorse|concern]] for anything other than himself, it is generally considered unlikely that Chris will live very far into his forties should he persist in his current lifestyle.


However, there is a likelihood that like [[Bob]], who had suffered from (and eventually passed away as a result of) [[Heart level|heart  failure]] and [[alcohol]]ism, he may be genetically dispositioned to lead a long, albeit miserable life. In comparison though, Chris's own death is naturally [[Chris and his Ego|the only one that immediately concerns him]], since it would be the only thing that would put an end to his [[Love Quest]] once and for all.
In [[November 2020]], Chris had a [[vision]] about the Chris Chan doppelgangers which had been spawned by a spell [[Jacob Sockness]] had cast. In his vision, he believed that one such doppelganger to be working at [[Manchester High]] and would die by either suicide or a heart attack so that the doppelganger's power could be absorbed by the main Chris Chan for breaking the [[Iron Curtain]].<ref>[[The Place chats (November 2020)#Premonitions and trances]]</ref>

On 19 July 2021, Allen and his friend [[Bella]] joked to each other about there being a plan to get Chris to kill himself. In their [[Chess club]] Discord server, Allen said, "I thought the plan was to get him to kill himself" to which Bella responded, "yeah but by getting others to tell him theyre jesus and they hate them and then saying "oh no those ppl are os mean :(" and then he pays me".<ref>[[Chess club#Suicide Joke]]</ref> The Chess club server was leaked in August, after which Allen claimed he and Bella had been making edgy jokes and that there was no plan to kill Chris, also pointing out a lack of proof the two had been serious.<ref name=allendenial>[[Post-incest leak drama#8 August 2021]]</ref> During the [[Jail Saga]], rumors about Bella's comment were sent to Chris, who then falsely claimed in a jail letter in response to a fan's questions that he "ForeKnew ALL about Bella and the Setup and Her want to "Tempt" me into Suicide."<ref>[[Jail Letter - 8 November 2021 (RadioRabbit0)]]</ref> Chris repeated more misinformation in an [[October 2023]] video in which he suggested that the [[Incest Call]] had been fabricated as a plot to get him to kill himself.<ref>[[Setting the Record straight - there never was any sex involving me in 2021]]</ref>


In a conversation with the CWCipedia Sysop, Chris once mentioned that he had been receiving [[Dreams|recurring visions]] of himself walking into a bright light, which he one day hoped would be prevented from appearing by getting a [[sweetheart]]. However, judging by how unlikely it is that he will ever enter any meaningful relationship with someone within his [[Attraction Sign|obsessive standards]] and willing to put up with him and his numerous faults, these visions will most likely persist until the inevitable day it comes true.
Whether Chris ever was suicidal or not is debatable. What is certain is that he would never come to terms with his own ego.

Latest revision as of 20:49, 28 October 2024

And dying is not happening with me; I'm set to stay alive for thousands of years.
Chris being absolutely delusional on Discord.[1]
Rest in peace...?

Death is a concept that Chris has a notably hard time understanding and/or coping with, be it the death of a human or an animal, or even an imaginary friend. While Chris certainly has the capacity to grieve, and has undergone several periods of grieving in his life in response to deaths in his family, his other reactions towards deaths are considerably more perplexing.

His poor reactions to death most likely come from Chris's near-inability to empathize (a common symptom of autism), and childish thought patterns. Children often don't understand death, usually just thinking it's "like sleeping forever", "just leaving", or in Chris's mind, "merged with their counterpart from C-197." Chris, being a child inside, can only resort to these clumsy analogies to understand death.

Family

Various ancestors

Chris claimed that, at Aunt Corrina's funeral, his ancestors wished him a safe trip to Ohio to meet Julie.[2]

Aunt Corrina (1934–2009)

Chris's aunt, Corrina Inge, passed away in February 2009 from lung cancer. When Chris informed Julie that his aunt was dying, Julie insisted that Chris visit her in the hospital, which he had not considered doing. He asked Barb about visiting her, and she dissuaded him, saying she wouldn't know he was there (implying, if true, that Corrina might've also had a form of dementia, or would be too sick to talk to him). However, he did get the chance to tell Corrina that he loved her over the phone before she died.[3]

Corrina's funeral happened to fall on Chris's birthday, which also happened to be Shrove Tuesday (also known as Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras), a Christian holiday that in some churches involves pancake dinners. Naturally, Chris was more concerned about missing out on the pancakes at his church at home than he was about the funeral of his own aunt.

When the "I know how to be sad because my dog died" excuse fails, Chris usually follows up with an offhand mention of his Aunt Corrina. If that fails, the deaths of his many sweethearts tends to follow.

Bob Chandler (1927–2011)

The crypt in which Bob lies and Barb will also one day lie.
One of the ways Chris coped with the death, believing his father occasionally comes back as an imaginary friend.

After a long battle with heart failure, the life of Chris's father Bob came to an end in September 2011, while he was being hospitalized in the Martha Jefferson Hospital's ICU.[4]

In an unreleased call with Jackie, Chris broke down sobbing over his father's death.[5] The call, referred to by fans as the "Black Tape", was sealed out of empathy for Chris.

In an email, Chris told Jackie that "my heavier cries from my father's passing is really hitting me bad", and lamented that in a previous dream the Grim Reaper had promised that he would not claim Bob until 2015.[6]

In a 31 March 2012 Facebook message, Chris expressed a desire for Bob's ghost to haunt the dreams of anyone who doesn't like him, putting him on the exact same level as his dead dog. While this was an understandable reaction to discovering "plans" that trolls were going to dig her up, or discovering a webcomic that contained what he considered a mockery of her memory, his threat to send Bob's ghost after people is equal parts disrespectful and unreasonable.

In a Facebook post from June 2013, Chris laments that he had more freedom when his father was still alive, and goes onto complain about how he has to take time out of his day to "serve and protect" his mother. Knowing Chris, this presumably means that he sat around in his room playing vidya while his elderly father did most of the work around the house.

In CLog 09042017 - Mister C, Chris, while reading letters from his late father, displays emotion over him, tearing up at times.

During the Idea Guy saga and the rather disturbing events that took place within it, Joshua convinced Chris that Bob had reincarnated as a Sonichu with plaid-colored fur, in reference to his nickname "the internet lumberjack" (Chris later retconned his design to a much simpler plain red design because plaid fur was too much effort), and turned up in CWCville alongside Ted Bundy to defend the city. Using an autistic man-child's dead father to troll them is disgusting enough as it is; convincing them that said father is still alive in another dimension to help with their extortion efforts is on another level of fucked.

Chris, to this day, still believes their bullshit, and will probably never accept that his father is gone forever; while in many cases believing a loved one is in a better place after death is actually a very common and usually quite healthy way of coping with their passing, literally believing they are alive in your own fantasy dimension is actually extremely uncommon and extremely unhealthy.

Barbara Chandler (1941–)

I really have none.
Chris on whether he has plans in place for after Barbara passes away.[7]

Barbara is Chris's surviving parent.

Alongside Bob, who Chris entered a protracted period of grieving for after his passing, Barbara was one of the few people in Chris's life that he cared about enough to genuinely fear her passing, and Barbara used this to manipulate Chris into following orders on multiple occasions; one such instance of this was in 2011 (prior to Bob's death), in which she threatened to commit suicide as a last resort to stop Chris from his poorly-thought-out plan to attend MAGfest in Maryland that year by sleeping in his car as he did not have the money to afford a hotel room - a distraught Chris backpedaled, receiving only more guilt-tripping and down payment on some vidya as a consolation prize.[8] Barbara used her health as a scare tactic for so long that it instilled paranoia into Chris - on one occasion when Barbara failed to answer the phone when Chris called her while out, Chris panicked and called 911 for a welfare check.[9]

In November 2015, Chris released Family Needs to appreciate Family, where he addressed Cole Smithey, David Alan Chandler and Carol Suzanne Chandler to visit Barb before "her time runs out".

In November 2019, Chris posted a tweet where he copes with the mortality of his mother, imagining her becoming a part-human/part-Rosechu hybrid after death, in the same vein he believed that Bob reincarnated into Robertchu after death.[10]

Had I Not healed her, she would be dead Late August.
Chris on "Soul Bonding" with Barbara, November 2021[11]

Following Chris's August 2021 arrest for incest with Barbara, which saw him confined to Central Virginia Regional Jail for nearly two years, he began to shift in his attitude towards her.

Chris began claiming that "Soul Bonding" with her was a method of healing her, and that she would have died without it.[11]

Barbara was involved in a traffic collision on 24 November 2021.[12] She suffered two broken ribs and a concussion. Chris took credit for having healed her with his "soul-bonding" when explaining that she had survived the crash.[13]

Barbara chose to remain living in 14 Branchland Court, despite Chris wanting to move back. At the time, Chris claimed there was a restraining order against himself and Barbara. In a jail letter, he complained that, despite having guided her soul into her Rosechu form/body, Barbara's soulless husk still clings onto life inside the house. He further claimed:[14]

[It] is indeed clear and obvious, especially to all with spiritual and psychic ability, that she is sickly, and her passing on is to be from emotions. Yet, again, she still Lives, and zombie-like as well. And this was and is Fact through-out the majority of branching alternate Timelines since August, 2021, wherein she Had died in most of them by now.

...indicating that he had been meditating over her death, in his selfish desire to inherit the house from her.

Chris himself (1982–)

And Believe Me, IN DREAMS, and even IN MOMENTS within my mind while AWAKE, I HAVE SEEN AND FELT That Death Light. Not only is it the Most Horrifying Thing Ever, but I am LOOOONG NOT READY FOR IT YET.
Chris, on his visions of death.[15]

In a conversation with the CWCipedia sysop Cogsdev, Chris once mentioned that he had been receiving recurring visions of himself walking into a bright light, which he one day hoped would be prevented from appearing by getting a sweetheart. After the surreal conclusion of the love quest in 2018, it is unknown if he still gets these visions.

In a Facebook post on 30 October 2013, Chris stated that he had become so stressed out (specifically, over the revelation that his high school gal-pals did not actually like him much at all), that he had contemplated killing himself multiple times. According to Chris, the only reasons he did not go through with it are painfully obvious. This shows just how much Chris's mentality has drained, and how badly he needs the professional help he so stubbornly refuses to get. Of course, this could well be Chris exaggerating and trying to gain pity as he has done in the past, and as his mother allegedly also has (or at least, used to have) a habit of doing. In all seriousness, however, suicide is no laughing matter, and this should be looked at with caution.

In a 2019 Discord chat between his fantasy enablers, Chris had claimed that he is set to live for thousands of years.[1]

In August 2020, Chris (pretending that his body was being possessed by Sonichu) uploaded a video will, apparently in case his body vanished from this dimension (1218).

Pets

Patti (1988–2006)

Patti was the Chandler family's pet dog, who died in June 2006. Chris apparently drew a picture of a crying Sonichu face on the signature confirming the euthanasia process.[16] As seen in the image used in this article, Patti also appeared in the comic, immortalized as a furry character named Patti-Chan. This is particularly disturbing in that Chris has apparently decided to deny his dog the afterlife that he presumably believes in favor of locking her in his own personal hell.

To Chris, her death is the greatest tragedy of his life, which he often compares to the deaths of other people's family members and loved ones. Unsurprisingly, every single person he has said this to has become horribly offended. In Chris's Plea to Clyde Cash, he equates Ryan Cash's death with Patti's, and in the Father Call, he equates it to the death of Matthew Devoria's mother in the 9/11 attacks.

On the 1-year anniversary of her death, Chris even broke down in tears and had to be consoled by his mother.[17] By comparison, the "death" of any sweetheart will result in a few days of mourning at best.

It should be noted though that despite all of Chris's fondness for Patti, her memory was still not safe from being defiled by trolls manipulating him.

Pollo (2003-2018)

Pollo was a cat born sometime in 2003 that was adopted by Chris in 2015, who had passed away in May 2018. On 20 May 2018, Chris posted an urgent tweet to Twitter stating Pollo was having difficulty breathing, and that he needed money from eBay in order to take Pollo to the vet.[18]

Following a wave of backlash due to how Chris was seemingly using Pollo's sickly condition as a way to get sympathy donations, Chris would delete the tweet. Despite his plea for donations, Chris announced on Twitter that Pollo had passed away in the early hours of 20 May 2018, presumably due to the aforementioned breathing difficulties, and or other natural causes.[19]

According to Chris, Pollo was buried next to Patti's resting place.[20]

Sorbet (2016-2018)

Sorbet was a cat Chris had adopted in 2016, who passed away in May 2018. In May 2017, Sorbet wandered out of the house and was hit by a car.[21] Fortunately, Sorbet would survive the incident after Chris took him to the vet,[22] however in a video about the solar eclipse from August 2017, Sorbet was shown to seemingly have difficulties breathing.

On 17 May 2018, Chris posted to Facebook in order to announce that Sorbet had gone missing after he was let outside. Chris would put posters with information relating to Sorbet on several telephone poles near the area in hopes of finding him.[23]

However, Sorbet would not return, as in a text message from October 2018, Chris confirmed to a fan that Sorbet never came back and pronounced him dead. In order to cope with the loss of Sorbet, Chris claimed that Sorbet's soul had supposedly been reincarnated into dimension C-197 as an anthropomorphic cat, and that he had since then been able to meet with him.[24]

Multiple other now-deceased cats once resided within 14 Branchland Court, the most notable of which being Scamper (2006-2014), a cat that unfortunately passed away as a result of the 2014 house fire,[25] and Patches (October 2018-November 2018), a kitten that sadly passed away due to complications relating to pneumonia only one week after Chris had adopted him.[26]

Snoopy (2012-2021)

Snoopy was a dog who was adopted by Barbara alongside Clover in May 2012, who passed away in July 2021.[27][28] Snoopy had apparently suffered a leg injury before he was adopted,[27] causing him to have trouble walking for the remainder of his life. Following a long period of seemingly improper feeding habits,[29] Snoopy died in his sleep during the early hours of 14 July 2021.

After Snoopy's passing, Chris posted a eulogy dedicated to him on Twitter. In it, he explained that his neighbor and their daughter helped him bury Snoopy by a tree, making a stone mound around the burial to indicate where the body was. Chris was understandably distraught and saddened over the death of Snoopy, however, he still remained confident in his coping mechanism, the Dimensional Merge. On Twitter, Chris said that Snoopy was aware of the merge, which meant that him and Snoopy would reunite after the merge was complete. Chris would also bizarrely claim that he had seen an anthropomorphic version of Snoopy from another Dimension during his burial, stating that he looked like "a tall dog guy."[28]

Imaginary friends

Chris is also concerned over the deaths of his imaginary friends such as Sonichu and his pals. Since Chris believes all cartoon characters exist in some universe, and he had created Sonichu's, he feels that if he were to reboot the comics, that would mean that Sonichu and his friends would all die, and that they would all reincarnate into their newer rebooted versions.[30] Being his love and joy, the last thing on Chris's mind would be to kill his creations, but yet he is perfectly fine with freezing them in time with his hiatus on the series.

The Idea Guys allegedly extorted Chris out of thousands of dollars by telling him they would destroy CWCville, which would lead to the deaths of Chris's imaginary friends. Chris paid up, even putting his own house at risk of foreclosure by skipping a mortgage payment to do so.

Ironically, even when Chris inevitably does pass on and go forth to meet GodBear, he will still be remembered; not only for his life and the many humorous misadventures in it, but for his comics. Thus, it can be said that Sonichu will never truly die.

Simonla Rosechu

The bastard child in question.

During the Asperchu saga, a recurring theme was Evan's legal claims in regard to Simonla Rosechu as a derivative of his character, Simonchu. While early demands were for Chris to edit his old strips to remove Simonla entirely from continuity, later Evan consented to letting Chris keep Simonla's early appearances, on the grounds that he kill her at a later date. Chris, not surprisingly, totally lost his shit, showing a much stronger emotional attachment to an empty, one-dimensional fictional character than he has managed for any living creature other than his dog. Finally, after being faced with the threat of legal action, Chris finally killed Simonla in issue #10, though not before she laid an egg out of wedlock with her baby-daddy Wild (though, of course, the act of laying the egg was never shown, or even mentioned), which hatched into Sandy Rosechu.

Simonla's death apparently continued to haunt Chris long afterwards. This led to him reviving Simonla around May 2014, more than four years after her demise. It should be noted that, as revealed in the Alec Benson Leary Phone Calls, Chris considers cartoon characters to be real, living creatures that exist in some other world reminiscent of Toon Town from Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Simonla's death was as real to him as that of any of his family members or sweethearts... perhaps even more so.

Troll manipulation

A favorite tactic of trolls is to manipulate Chris into reacting to scenarios involving death, a concept in contrast to Chris's childish mentality and thus guaranteeing he would either react in odd ways or in ways that could be used as ammo against him for future trolling. The scenarios, though fictional, were presented to Chris under the pretense they were true. While Chris generally went along with the claims under pressure from troll manipulation, he did maintain some skepticism, such as when he expressed disbelief to Kacey months later on the Ryan Cash suicide scenario.[31]

The first death scenario trolls experimented with, in October 2008, was that of a fan whose father had passed away from alcoholism. When asking Chris for advice on coping, Chris briefly replied that the fan will recover from the father's "accident" and then advised the fan not to become an alcoholic.[32]

Chris's memorial to Ryan in Sonichu 8.

A few months later, another death scenario was invented by trolls, involving the Ryan Cash character, designed to provoke Chris over his lack of work ethic on the Sonichu comic; the fabrication was that Ryan had been a Sonichu fan and committed suicide when Chris stopped updating it. Trolls badgered Chris over multiple chats to keep acknowledging the death, not satisfied with his brief replies on the death being sad. Trolls then elevated matters by having the Clyde Cash character threaten Chris with revenge over the death of his brother. A frustrated Chris recorded a video in which he tried to reason with Clyde, and put his foot in his mouth by suggesting that if Clyde got a girlfriend it would help him get over the death.[33]

Sweethearts

Sometimes I remember her, but I have moved on.
Chris on the late PandaHalo.[34]

Trolls also carried out the death scenario fabrications using a few of their sweetheart characters. Chris had blunt responses to the supposed deaths and seemingly adjusted quickly when another sweetheart character professed to be in love with him.

The fiery death of PandaHalo.

When PandaHalo's character arc ended, Chris believed that her silence meant she might have been a victim of the Australian Black Saturday bushfires (despite her location being hundreds of kilometers away). Shortly after her apparent death, the Julie sweetheart character was introduced to Chris. In a Mumble chat where trolls directed the conversation to PandaHalo's fate, Chris said, "It's OK though, at least I have a good woman who's willing to be by my side at this point."[35] Nine months later, Sonichu #9 featured a special "memorial" to PandaHalo and a sequence in which she dies (off-screen) in a building fire after saving her "Pokemon", Chloe Rosechu and BlazeBob Sonichu, so they wouldn't "burn with" her. Chris also "dedicated" all of Sonichu #10 to PandaHalo's memory. This would be almost touching, if the alleged dedication didn't wholly consist of how awesome Chris was for using Panda's cover artwork.

The Sarah May character claimed to attempt suicide after Chris accidentally called her "Julie" multiple times in a call.[36] After Chris attempted to talk her down, Sarah May went offline still claiming she would kill herself. Julie, also in the chat, was playing along, and did not react to Sarah's suicide attempt in any human-like fashion; yet, it did not occur to Chris that Julie's behavior was unnatural. Chris told Julie, "Well at least I still have you." Chris then made recorded CWC Shout Out to Sarah May, in which the only reason he offered as to why she shouldn't commit suicide was that he would be sad without her.

When the Ivy character arc was forced to end due to Rocky Shoemaker's intervention, trolls came up with the scenario that she committed suicide by hanging after being upset she couldn't be in contact with Chris. Chris uploaded CWC "Boyfriend" as a memorial, a poorly-sung remake of Avril Lavigne's happy, bouncy pop-punk song, with lyrics changed to be about how much Chris would like women to date him. Chris included pictures of several past sweethearts in the video, making it less of a tribute to Ivy and more of a monument to Chris's failures. Ivy's demise was incorporated into Sonichu #9, in the form of a gruesome accidental death, which involved having gotten her neck broken with elevator wires after falling through the elevator floor.

Mary Jo is gone (I feel for you), but you should move on and try to find another woman who will treat you about as good, or possibly better than, her. Suck it up, and move on like a Man would. I tell you as a Man who had to do the same thing a few times in the past too.
Chris's advice to a fan.[37]

In a Mailbag answer to the troll scenario of a fan grieving over the loss of his girlfriend, Chris clearly states how he believes a death should be approached by a man (which includes finding another woman right away and a specific lack of grieving), and tells the traumatized fan that he should simply move onto a better woman since his girlfriend's death, not only being completely asinine, but also outlining that he believes women to be replaceable and possibly interchangeable.

Terrorism and assassination

A Memory Card noting the 9/11 tragedy, next to the Dark Arbok Pokémon card Chris had purchased on that day.

Chris has a very juvenile understanding of terrorism and its effect on the world.

On the 9/11 terrorist attack, Chris wrote that it was the worst day in 2001, summarizing it as "an airplane was stolen and crashed in New York." Eight years later, trolls exploited Chris's childish mentality in order to manipulate him into making the Twin Falling Towers video, suggesting that he should mock Clyde Cash by saying he's as weak as the Twin Towers. Chris failed to discern that he was being set up, producing a video in which he used his mouse cursor to "crash" into a picture of the buildings, while making explosion sound effects, and taunting Clyde. After it backfired on him, Chris recorded Apology for 9/11 Joke.

On the November 2015 Paris terrorist attack, Chris expressed a modicum of grief in his own simple way, but equated the real-life atrocity which killed over 120 people with the actions of a "cartoon villain", suggesting he still has a poor grasp of the difference between reality and fantasy.[38]

At some point in fall 2020, Chris tried asking Null to kill someone.[39][40]

Suicide

[Suicide]'s taboo in Sonichu culture. The moment you threaten it, you're not considered a Sonichu.
An Idea Guy posing as Cryzel Rosechu talking Chris out of contemplating suicide.[41]

Chris considered suicide in October 2013 after discovering that past events and friends were nothing more than trolls or arranged acquaintances. However, he ruled out suicide, not only because of Barb and his pets but also because of his belief (at the time) that suicide would leave him in Limbo.[42]

In April 2018, during a chat with the Idea Guys in which they psychologically abused Chris, he commented that he would commit suicide. The Idea Guys then talked him out of considering it by drilling into his mind that suicide is taboo in Sonichu culture and that Chris could not be a Sonichu if he committed suicide.[41]

In June 2018, when talking about the infamous line "Zap to the extreme", Chris said he literally feels electricity in his body, then states that he isn't killing himself.[43]

In November 2020, Chris had a vision about the Chris Chan doppelgangers which had been spawned by a spell Jacob Sockness had cast. In his vision, he believed that one such doppelganger to be working at Manchester High and would die by either suicide or a heart attack so that the doppelganger's power could be absorbed by the main Chris Chan for breaking the Iron Curtain.[44]

On 19 July 2021, Allen and his friend Bella joked to each other about there being a plan to get Chris to kill himself. In their Chess club Discord server, Allen said, "I thought the plan was to get him to kill himself" to which Bella responded, "yeah but by getting others to tell him theyre jesus and they hate them and then saying "oh no those ppl are os mean :(" and then he pays me".[45] The Chess club server was leaked in August, after which Allen claimed he and Bella had been making edgy jokes and that there was no plan to kill Chris, also pointing out a lack of proof the two had been serious.[46] During the Jail Saga, rumors about Bella's comment were sent to Chris, who then falsely claimed in a jail letter in response to a fan's questions that he "ForeKnew ALL about Bella and the Setup and Her want to "Tempt" me into Suicide."[47] Chris repeated more misinformation in an October 2023 video in which he suggested that the Incest Call had been fabricated as a plot to get him to kill himself.[48]

Whether Chris ever was suicidal or not is debatable. What is certain is that he would never come to terms with his own ego.

Dimension C-197 as Chris's version of Heaven

Following the Idea Guys saga, which affirmed to Chris his dimension beliefs, Chris began to think of alternate dimension C-197 as Heaven. He stated that he believes his deceased pets have reincarnated as characters[49] and that his father is "alive again".[50] He also stated that Marvel writer Stan Lee's soul had merged with his C-197 counterpart.[51]

So sure was Chris in this that he even tried to console a woman whose father passed away by telling her that her father's soul had likely gone to C-197.[52]
