Chris and reality

Reality is the universe Chris is detached from. While most fiction operates on the assumption that the fictional world is in some way separate from that which actually exists, for Chris such lines are difficult to grasp. While some might assume Chris is exploring meta-fictional devices, he is nowhere near that clever. He's just too stupid to get reality straight.

The Mechanics of the CWCiverse

As experts understand it, CWCville exists outside the confines of normal spacetime; a pocket universe with principal access located through a Narnia-esque portal in Chris's room. CWCville exists as a fantasy Utopia (by Chris's standards), located in Virginia, but not in any tangible sense. The geography of CWCville is incomprehensible by normal means, and it is speculated that only idiot-savant rationale (stressing the idiot in Chris's case) can make sense of this paradox.

Here it is important to remember that by Chris's standards, CWCville is 100% real. Although, when confronted about it, he says "I'd like it to be real"^[1]. In the comic — and within Chris's mind — the citizens of his imaginary universe operate with an understanding of the world outside their own. Sonichu was born of an unholy union and bizarre psuedo-scientific and fantasy bullshit (like all good sci-fi, radiation can do anything!) involving Sonic the Hedgehog, Pokémon, radiation, and a rainbow. He is also the fictional creation and figurative "son" of Chris, and is aware of this fact, referring to Chris as "Father".

And you thought the straw was the worst part, just think of the implications...

Documentary or Fictional Fiction?

Defining Sonichu Canon is a difficult prospect. Chris exists not only as Mayor of CWCville, but as writer of the comic depicting its own reality, his Gary Stu, and as creator of the universe. A given character exists in varying states of self-awareness. On one hand, Sonichu is having his real life adventures, but will at other times speak of discussions with fans, within continuity.^[2]

In one sub-episode^[3], Chris incorporates his own misadventures into his fictional universe through the use of a stand-in location. Within what can only reasonably assumed to be Chris's comic universe, Chris spends his time drawing his comic universe.

The Fantasy

It's clear to anyone with eyes that CWCville only exists as a crutch for Chris's warped psyche. While Chris feels the need to retreat to his womb-like room, he cannot totally withdraw from his need for social interaction. Therefore CWCville becomes an extension of his personal world, more real to Chris than what he sees as a world out to Kick the Autistic. He retreats to a world where he has total control, in a world where he has none. In his world, he can decide the laws and mores of the citizens. In his world, he can stalk and loiter to his hearts content.

While many children fantasize about being President or ruling their own city, as they get older, they realize that without the dedication, drive, and personality, it's not very fun having so much responsibility. For Chris, "responsibility" isn't in his vocabulary. All that the mayor does is have power. No responsibility for the well-being of its citizens, economy, and education. He set the rules and to hell with anyone who disobeys him. You know what they say about how power corrupts even the best people...
