It looks like another member of Chrisville learned how to harness the power of his imagination.

… Hooray?

The dress rehearsal of “The Wild Wooders” continues, and it’s starting out well so far. Don’t let Softboy’s acting fool you: he really does love this number. And it’s hard to be scared when you’re confident that the people threatening you are just acting… right?

You can find part one of the dress rehearsal here.

Just a reminder to everyone: Moth’s mouth isn’t moving because it doesn’t have to. Moth communicates through vis moth-shaped pendant, which is why vis dialogue comes out all fuzzy and cool.

The musical
The Wind in the Willows is indeed a real show, and the Chrisville
Theater Society’s costumes are based on those of the 2017 London
Palladium production. You can rent the musical here.
(I am not sponsored by the musical in any way, I just thought promoting
it was the least I could do after referencing so much of this
production.)

Welcome back, everybody. We’re back from our two month hiatus, and a new year means new adventures for the residents of Chrisville!

The Chrisville Theater Society has just started dress rehearsals for their production of the musical The Wind in the Willows, and it looks like Dirk is actually excited to participate for once. … but will that be a good thing?

This took me forever to finish and I’ve been working on it nonstop for a few weeks now. I wanted this done for his birthday, but looks like I made it in time for Christmas. I drew all of @thescarletpaperback ‘s OCs…or at least the ones with a visual reference.

I just want him to know how wonderful his stories and characters are and how much they make my heart happy. You inspire me daily and I hope you never quit creating beautiful, wonderful worlds.

So many Softboy characters! Thanks again for this absolutely beautiful artwork. I’m always so grateful to have your love and support.

Chrisville’s guest actor is Lucky Buck, Lorrie’s well-loved My Mini Mule toy. The Chrisville toys would know Lucky from IRL playdates with Lorrie, but those haven’t happened since the pandemic started. However, it seems like one toy isn’t happy to reunite with Lucky Buck after so long…

Fun facts: As you might have noticed, Lucky Buck is visually inspired by an existing toy horse brand, but she’s still very distinct from it. (Or at least, just distinct enough.) She is a mule, after all. The “soul brand” mentioned in panel 5 is the magical birthmark/label on her flank, which in her case is a four-leaf clover.

Thanks for the kind words, my friend! <3 And for an excuse to look into our blog’s past. In case you couldn’t tell, this comic is a flashback to Softboy’s first day in Chris’s room. Things were a little different back then, and almost everyone was skeptical of how Softboy would fit in among the other residents of Chrisville. More importantly, though, one of the most important first meetings in history happened that day… and boy, could it have gone better. Of course, we all know there’s no need to worry about if they’ll make up for it later.

Fun facts: Softboy is one of those types of people that only finds someone attractive after he forms a strong emotional bond with them. He may have a type, but he still can’t truly fall in love at first sight. When he says Leo looks “weird,” he means that he’s fascinated by this toy… and yet, he can’t tell why. 

Also, while Softboy’s first day in Chrisville is similar to how it happened in the original thesis trilogy, Softboy’s first meeting with Leo is INCREDIBLY DIFFERENT. In the trilogy, Leo isn’t in Chris’s room when Softboy first arrives, and Softboy has to find Leo later in a dark, scary place… That version of their meeting is also more “love at first sight,” which I’ve been wanting to rework for some time now.

Last but not least, this comic marks the first appearance of Grumpy Grey! He’s a plush version of the popular cartoon mascot that has been previously glimpsed on this blog. He may be a plush toy, but like his cartoon character, he’s a bit more cynical and jaded, which is why he judges Softboy for being “soft.”

What would happen if Softboy & friends played Among Us? Would Softboy be willing to commit Murder?

Posted on November 7, 2020 by softmanpillowboy

Oh, I have been HOPING for a question like this.

The short answer is, yes, Softboy would be very willing to commit murder in Among Us. This might seem like a surprise, but honestly, the death in Among Us is too cute, fun, and low-stakes for Softboy to be upset by it. When even dead players can still play the game and help their team, it’s not as scary as it sounds. Also, Softboy is 100% aware that not only will his friends not be angry at him, but also after the game is done, his friends will come back to life and have a chance to kill him back. 

However, his cute and squishy personality means that people tend to not think he’s the imposter. Which means for the first few games, his fellow crewmates will surround him in order to protect him, which simply stops him from being able to commit murder.

He won’t, however, kill Leo. Softboy’s love for Leo is so strong that he can’t even bring himself to harm a little digital bean version of his wonderful boyfriend.

Leo, on the other paw, has no qualms about killing Softboy.

This does not stop Softboy from following Leo in almost every game.

I hope this answers your question, kind friend!

Regarding the change in the Theatre/Theater Society sign, which of the cast are Team Theatre and which are in Team Theater? And which team is winning?

Posted on October 17, 2020 by softmanpillowboy

The answer is a resounding “Americans outnumber Brits” with Team Theater firmly in first place. 

Honestly, only a few members of Chrisville actually insist that “theater” is the only proper spelling of the word. The rest are just there to mess with Leo. 

Fun(?) fact: This week was supposed to continue the cute saga of our loveable characters figuring out their Halloween costumes. Unfortunately, my old drawing tablet finally reached the end of its working life, and I was left without digital drawing instruments for a few days. By the time I got a replacement, there was too little time to do such a long comic. This week’s drawing is the first work I’ve done on my wonderful new tablet, which was kindly donated to me from one of my nearest and dearest friends. Hopefully, we’ll be back on the Halloween track next week!

October is here, and Softboy has already prepared his Halloween costume. However, he may have started an interesting discussion on whether or not toys need dress codes.

Fun fact: This comic contains a sneaky little reference to a Softboy comic I drew in my notebook a while back and shared with a select group of friends. I couldn’t redraw the comic for the blog, though, since its humor was obviously 13+. I thought I might as well smuggle the fun bit into another story.

Looks like Softboy and Leo may not be Chrisville’s only power couple…

Fun fact: The ideas written on the chalkboard- Monarch, Peacock, and Very Hungry Final Form- are all types of butterfly! (At least, this is what a quick Google search told me in regards to the first two) However, this doesn’t mean the Butterfly Bear will stick with the butterfly theme. There’s a lot of time between now and Halloween, after all.

While this blog isn’t your typical “ask blog,” we’re always happy to answer asks! If it’s a simple question, then you’ll probably get a typed answer, or maybe a one-panel response. If it’s something juicy, though, your question could be the foundation for a weekly comic! (And if it’s a disrespectful ask/anon hate, your letter’s going straight in the trash. Return to sender, baby.)
