Softboy Pillowman is super supportive of all gender identities!

Fun fact: This comic is based off of this meme:

Also, “poggers” is not a normal word in Softboy’s lexicon. Chris might be a modern youth, but he is still very confused by the word. He knows about and references this meme, though, because Lori sent it to him and it really resonated with him.

In case you forgot, the Butterfly Bear doesn’t have any binery because they’re genderfluid!

I recently reminded myself of how different Softboy’s and Leo’s first impressions of each other are in my comics compared to my original thesis project. That inspired these goofy drawings of the general vibes of both meetings.

Fun fact: Longtime readers of this blog will know that this doesn’t directly quote Softboy and Leo’s first meeting.

….d-does softboy have teeth? I’m sorry if this is a massively strange question, but I woke up at 3am thinking about this and it won’t leave me alone

Haha, that’s a good question! Definitely something worthy of making people wake up at 3 AM.

This touches on a question that I’ve thought about ever since I first watched Toy Story: how do toys who were made with closed mouths have teeth, or even open their mouths, when they come to life?

The main answer is, of course, plot reasons. Because it would be too unsettling to have eternally smiling toys as your main characters.

Basically, a lot of toys in Chrisville don’t have teeth until Chris brings them to life in his mind. Even Leo doesn’t originally have teeth!

Leo’s teeth are more obvious because he’s a lion, and Chris wanted to show off those fangs of his. Softboy, however, would have “normal” human-like teeth, but Chris probably doesn’t even consider Softboy’s teeth unless he’s giving a toothy grin, or is biting something.

So to paraphrase Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Softboy has teeth only when it’s funny necessary.

Happy Pride Month everybody! To celebrate, I’m gonna share art every week in which members of Chrisville show off their beautiful and unique identities. These characters are toys, so all sexualities depicted here are more akin to romantic attraction. Also, trans identities mean that the toys are trans-coded, and have backstories that are similar to social transition.

Softboy Pillowman: gay transman

Leo Lion: bisexual

Well, it’s been over a year since I drew Softboy as a character from a piece of media that was too mature for this blog. Let’s do it again!

For the past few months, I’ve been getting into the Danganronpa series. I’ve watched walkthroughs and let’s plays of the first two games, am currently a third of the way through watching
Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls, and have seen the anime adaptation of the first game. My relationship with this series isn’t perfect; I still have a lot of criticism and gripes about it, and I’m sure that will continue as I keep consuming all of it that there is. Still, I can’t deny that I’m oddly hooked, and I’ve already proven that once something is on my mind, it won’t take long for me to blend it with Softboy in some way.

So here’s a little Monokuma-esque version of our favorite boy: Monomocha! (A friend of mine and the Internet informed me that omocha is a Japanese word for toy) Just because Softboy is sweet and cuddly in his real life doesn’t mean he won’t enjoy playing villains every now and then. >:3

Monomocha is different from Monokuma, though. While Monomocha is also a little stinker and plays with the lives of the victims of his killing games, he isn’t as crude or gross as Monokuma is. He leans into the fact that he appears to be a cute stuffed toy, making his talk of killing games and trials ending in executions even more chilling. He definitely isn’t as violent as Monokuma is outside of executions; if he had an Usami/Monomi counterpart like in the second game, he’d find a different way of toying with her than beating her.

If you’re wondering how a young kid like Chris got into Danganronpa in the first place, there’s a logical explanation: his older cousin. One day during a family reunion/vacation, Chris really wanted to hang out with his teenage cousin Ryan, who he thinks is super cool. Ryan wasn’t in the mood for playing a game, so he put on the anime adaptation of his current hyperfixation and thought “eh, I saw worse things at his age.”

Aaaand that’s how Chris ended up planning and acting out (pretend) killing games in his bedroom.

If you have a suggestion for art I should draw during the current hiatus, feel free to send it in!

Aaaand with that, I announce another hiatus!

While making this comic is a lot of fun, and I’m still full of motivation to continue this story, working on such long comics every week is wearing me out. I’ve still got one more part of the Show Betrayal storyline to do before that whole arc is finished. After that, I’m going to focus on drawing smaller comics, and hopefully maybe even act like an ask blog for once.

For the next couple of months, though, I’m taking a break. I love Softboy to pieces, but I’ve been neglecting other projects that I want to focus on. Also, I just wanna get some dang sleep.

However, don’t worry! I’ll still be making content for this blog every Saturday. They’ll just be single, more self-indulgent pieces of art. You can even send in suggestions for what you want to see, as long as it’s not too difficult!

Softboy says that it’s important to set boundaries, especially if you’re at risk of being hurt.

Fun fact: We have reached the end of what I’ve been calling the “Confrontation” chapter of this theater society story arc. The final chapter shall begin… in a while. I’ll be posting an update on future plans sometime next week.

I was on an Internet talk show recently called Social Distance Warriors! It was really fun, and I got to talk about this blog and about Softboy Pillowman as a whole. If you have time, I recommend checking it out. If you just want to see the parts with me in them (which include a couple of games with the hosts and the other guests), then watch 9:24-20:30, 1:07:55-2:04:30, and 2:12:37-2:14:40.

Since this blog is for all audiences, I will give a minor warning for swearing and mentions of adult content, but it’s mostly just joking around.
