Cwcville in 2013 -

[Atsimu]

Many autistic people have internal worlds in which they can retreat to in order to make sense of things that happen around them or the thoughts and feelings they might have difficulty expressing. For Chris, it seems that Cwcville is much more than a location in his comics: it's a living, breathing town where Chris, Sonichu, and his other pals can be victorious over the obstacles Chris faces in his daily life. From events described on the Cwcki (particularly the Mary Lee Walsh office visit), Chris seems to believe (or maybe used to believe) that his fantasy world is as real as anything that goes on around him. In fact, he seems to hold the most contempt for those who intrude into Cwcville and make changes to it or his characters that are contrary to his wishes.

It seems to me that Cwcville and Sonichu are both fairly persistent features of his identity. It doesn't seem very likely that he's given up on either one of those things, rather (and I think his recent Facebook post about Sonichu can attest to this) he's simply become more reluctant to share what happens in Cwcville with everyone on the Internet. Which leads me to the question, what do you guys think has been going on in Cwcville within the past year or two? Did Cwcville have a state funeral for Bob? What events go on inside Cwcville now that he's almost fully retreated into the shell of 14 Branchland Court? I can't imagine that he would visit there any less than before.

CWCville probably looks something like this nowadays.

Perhaps it is a bit like Russia after the dissolution of the Soviet Union:
There is distress as well as cautious optimism. There is the sense of having been at the transition of two epochs. Everything has changed and everything has stayed the same. There is an effort to redeem some of the events and accomplishments of the old era and recast them in the best possible light.
The security apparatus' influence and reach has been scaled back: It's legal to be a tomgirl without running afoul of Magi-Chan. One can, nominally, be a homogay as long as you don't actually call yourself a homogay.
There is massive economic dislocation and many problems with obsolete and decaying infrastructure. There is a major balance of payments crisis. Foreign hard currency is still very scarce.

This is probably yet another thing that people over-exagerate, just like with everything else that Marvin talks about these days.

Why is that?

The idiosyncrasies of Chris's internal world were one of the things which made him a source of fascination for many people. Chris put considerable effort and energy to this world's creation and description. It is unlikely that he would stop now. So it is a valid question as to what he's thinking now.

Because with many other aspects of his personality, things turned out to be not as extreme as people thought. He doesn't eat only McDonalds, he isn't much of a lolcow in real life as people think he is, he as isn't noticeable in real life as people think he is, etc.

He probably does update his fantasy world as life goes on, but I doubt that it's that big of a part of his identity as people believe.

Everything is OK in CWCville, the mayor has ascended to a god like status, the external influences of the trolls being stoped by him
All the chus and peoples live full and rich lives with their respective partners and even the homeless have the soup hotels to live in.
The mayor now spends more time in town being respected and admired by all for his new tomgirl ways.

Though it's clearly been an obsession with him since childhood, we don't know how much time Chris-­Chan currently spends there. Since the real world has become somewhat more confusing and unpalatable for Our Autistic ManBaby, I'd guess he spend more time daydreaming his imaginary world than previously. If he really has internalized the fact that he can't always win against the jerkops, Cwcville has probably become a much darker place. More like issue #10, but with jerkops and jerkudges instead of ABL and Evan.

CWCville is such a detailed fantasy world only because Chris made the comics about it. When you create an ongoing story, even a terrible one, the world of the story starts to take on a character of its own. As long as Chris was writing Sonichu and using bits of CWCville as settings, CWCville itself was becoming more "real."

For instance, I'd say Chris had some vague fantasies about getting back at the Jerkops after the Get-Tar incident. Then when he wrote the comic about it, his fantasy took on more details and became more real to him, which made the fantasy better and encouraged Chris to go back to it again and again.

Chris mentioned (in 2010) that he still talks to Sonichu before he goes to sleep. Assuming Chris isn't making comics at all anymore, I'd say that's what his fantasy life is like now; vague and dreamlike. CWCville has faded away. Chris probably spends more time in the worlds of his video games these days.

But it wasn't just Chris on his own that made cwcville what it was. He had lots of adversity like Mary Lee Walsh for inspiration. So, yeah, it's very unlikely that he'd do (and, in fact, he hasn't done) anything cwcville related. His recent facebook post about it was probably the first thought he's had about Sonichu in a long time.

Edit: like, he hasn't had anything to inspire any comics.

 

[Scarfies]

Oh, I can picture it now. A screen door rusting off it's filthy hinges, mangy dogs staggering about, looking vainly for a place to die.

Good old Monty Burns.

I imagine CWCville is to Chris like the Little People were to Mark Chapman, the man who killed John Lennon. His little subjects worship him as their leader and god, and sometimes he is kind to them and sometimes he isn't. I wouldn't be surprised if Chris has particularly bad week, he cuts off the food supply to CWCville for awhile and punishes his minions. Chris once wrote something very telling. I don't know if he was doing one of his retarded trolls personas or not, but he mentioned pressing down on cats' paws until they howled, or something of the sort. Now even if he was pretending to be something else, that is a very specific detail, and one that I think has some truth to it. My point being that I think that Chris looks to those beneath him to punish for his pain. As the ancient saying goes, shit rolls downhill. As well as being his place of escape, I think that CWCville also doubles as a concentration camp.

What I don't get is why some people claim that CWCville is a "detailed" fantasy. It's very crude and half-assed, nothing detailed about it at all (with the exception of yiffhog reproductive biology).

Chris never drew a detailed, realistic map. He never thought about history, economy, culture, infrastructure etc. of CWCville. It's rather just a mash-up of Chris's favorite loitering places (McD, Target, the mall...), a huge mayor's office and places for his yiffhogs to live and yiff.

If you want a detailed world, look at the work of Gilles Trehin (the Urville guy): He invented a major metropolis on an island off the French mediterranean coast, developed its history from Antiquity up to the present, and drew a detailed realistic design of every house, every corner, every train station, factory, skyscraper and museum in Urville. That's what one calls detailed!

 

[BlockyStyle]

He never thought about history, economy, culture, infrastructure etc. of CWCville.

Au contraire!

History: Founded by Bob.
Economy: C-Quarters and W-Quarters.
Culture: Outdoor concerts with Christian and the Hedgehog Boys.
Infrastructure: There's at least one road, going from CWCville to Kel's house. This road is orange for some reason.

Seriously though, it's obvious that CWCville isn't detailed in the way Urville is. Then again, Urville is detailed in a way that few things are. CWCville is just relatively detailed - for the setting of stories as simple as the ones in Sonichu, it's more detailed than I'd expect.

 

[FreeBitch]

Is there an article on the cwcki that goes into detail about CWCVille? I would go check myself but you know.

EDIT: Didn't he make a lego version of the city?

 

[Bey98]

Probably quite depressing with a lot of the citizens reminiscing of the good old days of 2009.
Sonichu and Rosechu are in a troubled marriage. Chris is frequently depressed and even more insane and dictator like. He spends a lot of time locked away in his office, plotting revenge on Mike Synder.
The town is fearful of Chris but usually keep to themselves.

Basically, in a nutshell, very bleak and depressing.

 

[YouDorks]

CWCville looks a bit less like Pyongyang and a bit more like Mogadishu right now. Having no stable government, it is but a no-man's land where all manner of atrocity can be witnessed as juntas of jerkops and picklemen duke it out on the streets while a lost generation of sonees and rosees starve to death and die of AIDS, feeling betrayed that their GodJesus (Chris's ego) abandoned them.

In other words, Anarchy is Chaos in CWCville. All the stops have been pulled. Anything goes. Though it has transitioned from one to another extreme, its misery is perpetual.

Let's take a tour of the City as it is today....

Here's your tour guide, Alison Amber.


and here's the downtown shopping district...


Lets visit the CWCville Mall....

 

[Tailersfan]

Probably revenge on the JERKOPS!! that sentenced Chris. His facebook also stated that he will probably not produce any more Sonichu, so maybe CWCVille is operating on a lower level than before.

 

[Da Pickle Monsta]

I've been playing "Spec Ops: The Line" for my HEXBAWX for the past few days.

I imagine that if CWCville exists on a metaphysical level and is open to degradation, it now looks amazingly like Dubai's depiction in that game. Roving bands of lawless lovehogs, morally bankrupt Autobots maintaining martial law, and a traumatized Allison Amber trying to hold the city together in the Great Director's absence.

Prepare the white phosphorus. It's the only way.
