Craig Of The Creek - Blog Posts
guys am I going crazy or is this Hatsune miku in Craig of the creek
how come no one notice this in Craig of the creek
What would happen if Craig and Wildernessa merged? How would they react, how would they handle the merger, and how would they separate?
how many fandom’s do you like?
Oh, wow so many. Let’s start with different channels:
Cartoon Network: any show from the early 2000-10s to Craig of the Creek; plus any anime that was on it like Bakugan and Beyblade
Disney: early 2000-10s sitcoms, TOH, GF, Ducktales (2017), Big Hero 6/MCU, etc.
Nickelodeon: Spongebob, some old sitcoms by D*n Schn*ider, Henry Danger is the last show
For fandoms outside of TV, I’ve seen Camp Camp, Ever After High; used to watch Mianite videos; listen to multiple broadway musicals (Hamilton, Heathers, ITH, DEH, 21 Chump Street, Kinky Boots); watched some shows for stay at home moms like Roseanne, That 70s Show, the Goldbergs, the middle, etc.
I am not avid in book fandoms except for the Artemis Fowl Series (don’t speak of the film).
For the anime that I care about: Bakugan, Beyblade, Fire Force, Magi, JJBA, PPP Mermaid, Haikyuu, HXH, Ass Class, and Azumanga. There’s a few more but I really don’t participate in the fandom for those anime, I just watch them and move on.
This is just a handful of stuff I remember. I try to join fandoms often. I’ll try to put a full list in the tags
craig of the creek and jessicas big world are being axed.
this is a result of the recent animation purge trend and i hope people care considering how important craig of the creek is.
season 5 is being cut in half, and jessicas show (which hasnt even aired yet) is being cut in half as well. crew has been laid off. please read through crew tweets on the situation. im linking zeno robinsons (voice of omar) twitter here. you may also know him for playing hunter from the owl house.
please watch craig of the creek. its just as important as the owl house, infinity train and all the other shows that have been hurt.
OKAY PEOPLE LISTEN UP
THIS:
Is the petition to save Craig of the Creek from having its fifth season and spin-off being cut in half by Cartoon Network.
This show celebrates diversity in a way that hasn't been done since Steven Universe. It has incredible rep in the form of queer, BIPOC, and disabled characters, and more. Don't let CN give it the short end of the stick.
Damn I didn't know Craig of the Creek had THIS MUCH lgbtq representation
Grown adults should stop getting mad when children/teenagers are uncomfortable with their porn of cartoons and start going outside
love him sm
OMAR! !!! BLORBO
Well guys… after 6 years of being on TV, Craig of the Creek has ended. I’m actually glad I jumped on board in 2020, it definitely one of the underrated shows out there. I wish it would’ve been longer if it weren’t for Zaslav ruining everything but I guess beggars can’t be choosers I guess. I’ll see you tomorrow at the Creek.
Behind the Scenes of “Kelsey the Author”
From co-creator, Ben Levin:
“I feel so proud of this episode. It says so many things in 11 minutes. It’s about the power of DIY, the joy of making stuff, expressing yourself, and also about the risk of putting yourself out there and imposter syndrome.
The episode also stays true to one of my main hopes with the show: inspiring kids to be creative and imaginative by portraying (somewhat) grounded adventures.
Kelsey publishing her book was a story we’d kicked around a lot, but took a while to refine it. There were so many versions. For example, there was one where Kelsey was selling her books at the Trading Tree, but the concept of art as a commodity didn’t feel relatable. That’s not why we all had started making drawings and writing stories as kids. We did it because we just wanted to share these weird stories in our brains.
So we came up with this version where the plan was just to give them out at the library, and it unfolded from there.”
From Head Writer, Jeff Trammell:
“One of the things I was really excited about for “Kelsey the Author” was the chance to further explore the relationship with Kelsey and Stacks. They’re really good friends and a lot of people are fans of their dynamic, going all the way back to “Final Book”. This was our third episode really getting to explore their friendship, so it was great getting the opportunity to show Stacks, who clearly values the opinion of Kelsey, become inspired by her. Especially considering Stacks’ reaction to Kelsey’s story is what pushes Kelsey to create copies of her book to share with other kids.”
From Supervising Character Designer, Danny Hynes:
“The coolest thing (to me) about Kelsey the Author, is that in order to make an episode about creating your own DIY publishing operation, we basically had to create the drawn version of our own DIY publishing operation. Everything you would need to make a book got a design. We have stacks of paper, binder clips, glue, scored cardboard. If Kelsey needed it to make a book, we needed to make a model for it. Going through the prop folder is really satisfying for that reason. Our prop designer, Maaike, did an amazing job creating all of those miniature tools and supplies.“
From Lead Background Designer, Cory Fuller:
“When I was doing the concept drawings for Kelsey’s room, I wanted to show her personality coming through over top of some more “traditional” little girl elements. Things that were bought for her when she was younger that she would be expected to grow into, like her bed frame and end tables. I also wanted to chart her passion for reading by adding a variety of bookshelves. One from early childhood, followed by a regular bookshelf when when she out grew that, and additional wall shelves her dad had to put up. There’s also a pile of books on the floor that there is currently no space for.
BG designer Katie Wells did the final designs for the episode and really brought the space to life by flushing out the designs and adding her own personal touches. She came up with really fun and creative ideas for the posters on Kelsey’s wall and the titles to all her books. She created the goofy titles by spoofing her favorite fantasy books using names of her friends’ DND characters.”

Half Orphan Hero / Kelsey's song!
Heres the segment I boarded for the Craig of the Creek Musical episode!
When we were boarding for Key of the Creek, we had to put everything in animatics. Its not normal to do this, but it would be... very difficult to get the timing right to match the panels.
I only post elders, but I think its high time I start posting boards lol

Deaf Representation in Media (Image Description Included)
Full Disclosure, I am a Hearing woman so all information in these slides are from online Deaf resources (I linked below), but if anything is inaccurate or needs tweaking please let me know! I’ve also never written out the Image Descriptions so please let me know if I need to fix anything!
[ID 1: Four hands using ASL to spell out “Deaf.” The background has various still images of people signing “I love you,” Fingerspelling “Hawkeye,” and a title card from a show reading “The Boy from 6B.”
Then reads “Representation in Media” / end ID1]
[ID 2: Stock Photo of mother and child with Hearing Aids.
There is a statistical chart in the bottom left corner that reads “New Study of Hearing Loss among US adults aged 20 to 69. Who has hearing loss? 14% of adults aged 20-69 in 2011-2012. Prevalence of hearing loss has declined slightly from about 16% in 1999-2004.”
The caption around the picture reads “What is Representation? Representation is the portrayal of another culture or people/person in media that is done respectfully and not stereotyped.
Why is Deaf representation so important? Approximately 48 million Americans have some degree of hearing loss (Hearing Loss Association of America). Good Deaf and Hard of Hearing Representation can be very validating to those in the community because they can see themselves in these characters. Accurate representation can be educational for people outside the Deaf community to learn more about it in a non-stereotyped way.” / end ID 2]
[ID 3: Photo of the National Association of the Deaf logo.
The caption over the logo reads “ According to the National Association for the Deaf (NDA) proper media portrait of deafness should include:
The production should be accessible. Clear cooperation between Deaf individuals and all media personnel, interpreters, etc.
All terminology, when referring to Deaf or Hard of Hearing people, should be up-to date and not offensive.
All descriptions of Deaf individuals should be based on the people’s personalities and not be patronizing by including terms like they are “overcoming,” “inspiring,” “special,” etc.
Media should listen to the knowledge and ideas from those in the Deaf or Hard of Hearing communities, and not from those outside the community (even if meant well).
Media should make conscious steps to work with the other groups a Deaf individual might be part of such as other cultures, religions, ethnicities, sexualities, etc.
All media should be made accessible and available for all Deaf and Hard of Hearing folks.
/End ID 3]
[ID 4: In the Background is the poster for the movie “Coda.” Four people are looking into the camera and holding up the sign for “I love you.”
The caption over the poster reads “Recently, there has been an increase in the general public’s interest in Deaf stories with the success of the Movie “CODA” (2021)... But we still have a long way to go with Deaf Rep…” /end ID 4]
[ID 5: The image shows two sheets taken from the Deaf West theater. One shows What TV genres see the most and least Deaf representation? While the other is on what types of Deaf characters have hearing audiences seen represented in media.
At the top the caption reads “According to NRG and the Deaf West Theater…”
The caption below the charts reads “Depending on the type or genre of media an individual consumes may determine how much exposure they get to seeing Deaf people represented.
Even within the already small portion of Deaf people represented, there are even smaller subsections of minorities shown less in the Media.” /end ID 5]
[ID 6: The screen shot is of the NRG webpage article “NRG and Deaf West Theatre release roundtable film on Deaf representation”
The caption above the image reads “Linked below is a video from NRG and The Deaf West Theater where they are interviewing Deaf people in the creative industry (Writers, directors, actors, ect.) talking about their experiences with and the state of Deaf representation in today’s media. https://www.nrgmr.com/our-thinking/entertainment/nrg-and-deaf-west-theatre-release-roundtable-film-on-deaf-representation/” /end ID 6]
[ID 7: Caption at the top reads “Good examples of Deaf representation!”
Below we have pictures of 4 different Deaf characters. On the top left is Theo from Only Murders in the Building. Top right is Jackie from Craig of the creek. Bottom left is Marvel comics Hawkeye. And on the bottom left is Daphne from Switched at birth. /end ID 7]
[ID 8: Caption at the top reads “My personal favorite… Linda Bove (Sesame street from 1971-2002)”
Below the caption are 16 pictures of Linda throughout her time while on sesame street. Mostly she is with her co-star Bob. /end ID 8]
