Southmoore

Southmoore is the fictional city where Sean and everyone he personally knows all live in. The city takes place in the United States where they go to school, visit each other’s homes in their neighborhood, and sometimes go downtown for special occasions.

Southmoore is not a real location. The city is completely fictional which was created by Sean Malin himself. It is based off of a real city in northern Mississippi called Southaven. The location was around since the debut of Sean’s Christmas but originally was a city unnamed. The city got its name in the debut of the final short Sean’s Rapid Runaway when Sean mentions to a cab driver to take him and his friends to the Southmoore mall. It was then mentioned and displayed variously in episodes of the fullfilled series Sean’s Zany Sitcom confirming where the characters continue to adapt in the universe’s setting.

Notably, the entire 2D animated dimension where the characters take place is completely imaginary. It all comes from the creative inspiration of what Sean Malin likes to draw. Several comic strips were created with characters interacting in usually bite-sized storytelling with ideas for humor or just for fun. It’s a universe that reflects off of everything Sean Malin had created prior and during the production of the shorts and the series. It’s a world that is meant to be seen as a parallel dimension in a way that would be something that is from daydreaming and being entirely imagined from the creator’s head all being brought to life. Other than it all being a cartoon, logics of the universe are slightly different than what would be expected in real life. Characters are already living independently in their own homes without any family members or even roommates to pay for their livelihoods while they are still going to school. This however was revealed that the residence of Southmoore, and possibly other locations in the universe are all living under a paid rent in a villa by a government while characters are still getting educated in school (villas are something that are usually lawful in Europe). This was revealed on Instagram by the creator himself indicating that not only is the dimension imaginary but also has it’s own type of law to provide even more sense. This made sure that everyone and everything still had a working logic in what was created.

While the country of where Southmoore takes place is United States, the actual state it takes place in is never mentioned. It’s a place that is somewhere surrounded by Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Louisiana.
