Chris and death

Rest in peace?

Death stalks Chris at every turn, and as a result he is really poor when it comes to understanding and/or coping with death, be it the death of a human or an animal.

His poor reactions to death most likely come from Chris's lack of empathy, and his incredibly underdeveloped mind. Kids often don't understand death until they're quite old, around 10-12 years; before that, they just think it's "like sleeping forever" or "just leaving." Chris, being a 7-year-old kid inside, can only resort to these clumsy analogies to sort of understand death; he even has a habit of appealing to dead people to "come back."

Here are the departed souls, in order from earliest to latest:

Patti Chandler

Patti was Chris' dog, and she died in June 2006. Chris apparently drew a picture of a crying Sonichu face on the signature confirming the euthanasia process. As seen in the image used in this article, Patti also appeared in the comic, immortalized as an anthro.

RocketFox's Dad

RocketFox's Dad used to be an alcoholic, 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. This is actually the first death during the trolling, 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. About eight months later, Chris became a huge hypocrite...

Sarah Jackson

A former heartsweet of Chris (and Decepticon) who was killed in a car crash carefully executed plan by Optimus Prime. SPOILERS: A troll. Sarah Jackson, like Patti, was used in his comic for a while as "Ms. Jackaras" in 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. Sound like someone?

Ryan Cash

Ryan was Clyde's brother who was a huge fan of Sonichu. After the comics were delayed over and over, Ryan fell into a depression and committed suicide. Chris, of course, reacted to this in an inconsiderate manner, telling Clyde and his family to "just move on."

PandaHalo

Despite her being 1,000+ km away from the brushfires, Chris assumed PandaHalo was dead. She is actually alive and kicking but Chris still doesn't know this. 2 days after her "death," he went to find another sweetheart to mass debate to. This flagrant disrespect baffles trolls to this day, as the death of a partner can take years of recovery, and a long time before one would even consider dating again shouldn't surprise anyone because Chris is a self-centered asshole. This saga further proved that Chris has no sense of empathy or respect for the dead.

Sarah May

After being called "Julie" multiple times, Sarah May attempted suicide over Mumble. Chris then made an immature shout-out to her on a YouTube video, with tears faker than all his sweethearts combined. His reason for her to hold on? Because he'd be so sad without her. While mentioning the feelings of friends and families despair is typical in suicide prevention, Chris did it in such a selfish way, only thinking of how he'd feel, not how her family and friends would feel, that it was just full of fail and narcissism.

Aunt Corrina

Chris's aunt Corrina had her funeral on Chris's birthday, which was also 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. Patti was also obtained from her (see the e-mail link above).

Clyde Cash

Christian seems to be aware that Clyde Cash is supposedly dead, but casts a slight bit of doubt over the idea. Regardless, he curses Clyde in Captain's Log, Stardate August 18th, 2009, just in case.

BILLY MAYS

In the video Captain's Log, Stardate July 1st, 2009, Chris only seems to be upset over people blaming him for Mays' death, and loudly denies that he was never the mayor of Cwcville. He doesn't even offer his condolences to Mays' family. Down the line, Chris selfishly adopts the idea that Mays was in fact his bodyguard and he died protecting Chris. He furthers this by stating that he was also his identical body double and "without the beard we'd look the same". At least he's admitting that he's overweight.

Ivy

Former sweetheart Ivy committed suicide after not being allowed to see Chris. Chris uploaded the CWC "Boyfriend" video as a memorial.
