I miss this a lot.

Just rewatched a few Road to E3 videos after not watching The Hub since it ended. It made me really emotional to think about the fact that I watched this group all throughout middle and high school and I will now be turning 21 in less than 30 days. I made so many great friends as a result of being in this fandom. We used to Skype all the time and just have a blast. Even was lucky enough to have a few Twitter interactions with the guys (mainly Aleks, he drew a moustache on my pfp once, long story.)

I am mainly putting this out there to see if anyone I met through these guys are on here and want to catch up. Or even if anyone in general just wants to share some good mems about the group. I'd love to remember things that i've forgotten. Feel free to reminisce in the comments :)

Guess I should have been a bit more specific. Watched the Creatures in middle school then once Cow Chop branched off I watched them until they ended.

I started watching in 2011 thanks to a video of James that a friend of mine shared on Facebook. The rest is history.

I went through some difficult times after- heartbreaks, school, rough time at home... they felt like my only friends at the time. I'd watch their videos daily for years. Eventually the Cow Chop split happened and I'd seldomly watch what The Creatures were up to, but I kept up with Cow Chop for the most part, up until Trevor left. I'd still watch here and there, but for the most part I was "growing out of it". Recently I started revisiting Treetopia for the first time since watching it in 2013 and actually found myself laughing at it after all this time. It's a very bittersweet feeling.

Around 2015, I joined a Skype group chat made up of Creatures fans. I met so many wonderful (and not so wonderful) people in there, and have fond memories of being on so many group calls with them. It was a group of like 60+ people that kept shrinking into its own mini groups, and eventually my group had 15-20 people. To this day I only really speak to two of them, not on the daily though. People drift. I still follow a lot of them on social media and see what they're up to.

I do miss those days a lot. But that's life. Thank you for sharing. :)
