History Trivia / DrCrafty

* DearNegativeReader: While he'd announced ''DrCrafty's'' cancellation in late 2022, Alex Tansley did so exclusively on his soon-to-be-deleted first Discord server--nowhere else. During the subsequent months, he did not adequately communicate the show's fate in a way that reached his audiences on each of his platforms. This led to a lot of people--especially his [=YouTube=] subscribers--asking why all content related to the show randomly stopped in favor of his [=VTubing=] career. Eventually, he was provoked into making [[https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxGdp9-DkJPFAXbq4P9QJUVx9pifo3RwpU a new announcement]], the most accessible mention of the show's fate of any kind, and the first time in years he opted to use [=YouTube's=] community posts feature. He is bitter, accusatory, and condescending towards those still curious, and he ends things off with an ultimatum: if people continue asking, they'll be blocked from seeing any of his content.

* DearNegativeReader: While he'd announced ''WebAnimation/DrCrafty's'' cancelation in late 2022, Alex Tansley did so exclusively on his long-deleted first Discord server--nowhere else.

* DearNegativeReader: While he'd announced ''Dr. Crafty's'' cancelation in late 2022, Alex did so exclusively on his long-deleted first Discord server, leaving many fans who weren't in it unaware of what happened. He avoided making a replacement announcement elsewhere for some time.

He thus banked on his [=VTubing=] VOD uploads to answer those viewers' questions without him having to say anything further. Naturally, this lack of direct communication solved nothing, so when he finally made a new announcement months later, it was [[https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxGdp9-DkJPFAXbq4P9QJUVx9pifo3RwpU quite bitter]], and also the first mention of the show's fate of any kind on [=YouTube=].

** "Worst Sonic Characters" received quite a response from the [[WebOriginal/TheCommentaryCommunity YouTube Commentary Community]], with commentaries on the episode done by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5T8mqCMCbNw Keyblade Master]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAbySqjOKOg NaiTaiDai]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Djfro0dPf9c Ceradust]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZkwtHdeN6E&t Azelf101]], among others as Alex and his team produced the last few episodes of Season 4. Soon after familiarizing himself with the community, Alex made way for some commentators to have cameo appearances in Season 4's remaining ''Questionable Qloset'' segments, with their appearances culminating in the final gag in "Revolving Door." There, the ''Crafty''-original cast speed-date several commentators, with some of the ones who did commentaries on "Worst Sonic Characters" being among them.

* DearNegativeReader: After months of receiving questions about the state of ''Dr. Crafty,'' Alex released a [[https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxGdp9-DkJPFAXbq4P9QJUVx9pifo3RwpU particularly bitter]] announcement for him to refer back to if need be. It is extremely accusatory and condescending towards the [=YouTube=] commenters who have asked, and he made it clear that he'll block anyone who continues pressing him on the subject. Of course, the whole reason for his predicament is his failure to be transparent--let alone cordial--with his fanbase. For some time, the ''only'' accessible announcement of the show's cancelation was on his now-deleted first Discord server. Anyone not a part of it simply didn't know, and Alex chose not to indulge them until months later when his patience fully waned.

* TalkingToHimself:
** Throughout Seasons 1 to 3, Crafty and Disgustilda share the same voice actor, Alex Tansley himself. However, when Season 4 came around, Alex opted to step down from voicing Disgustilda, feeling that her replacement, xthedarkone, does a much better job capturing the character's energy.
** Nurse Worse and the Fiona Frightening character Princess Mumma share a segment together in "Fanboy and the Furious." Both are voiced by [=Megami33=].
** in "Hocus Mansion," one person voices each of The Sanderson Sisters and the Hitchhiking Ghosts, respectively. The person who played the Sanderson Sisters is notably Katy Johnson, who would later become one of the show's head writers and Pepper's voice actress.

** ''Dr. Crafty's'' [=TVTropes=] page is actively endorsed by the show's production team, with it being linked in each episode description and on the main ''Dr. Crafty'' website. A few staff members are very willing to help contributors gather information about the show to help with the pages.

* TroubledProduction: On his Twitter page, Alex [[https://twitter.com/Doctor_Crafty/status/1420462338214408195 discussed some of the hassles that came from developing Season 3's Hero Month--more specifically, the "I Need a Hero Academia" finale special]]. It proved to be an extremely ambitious project for ''Dr. Crafty's'' development team. However, it was also unanimously agreed that the finale was a little too indulgent. The sheer scope of "I Need a Hero Academia" made way for several unexpected issues, with some unlucky personal matters only adding to the stress. While it was a joy for the team to see "I Need a Hero Academia" come together, it also left the team feeling severely burned out. Not wanting this cycle to repeat, Tansley decided to significantly improve his management plan, both to streamline the show's development process and to keep his staff members happy and healthy.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Crafty tends to be fairly receptive and responsive to criticism of this show, as he wants to provide the best viewing experience that he can muster. He confirmed in a watch-along stream of ''Dr. Crafty'' that Crafty and Nurse's relationship was changed to be far more positive than it was in Season 2 thanks to fan feedback. [[https://twitter.com/Doctor_Crafty/status/1016441403835142144 On Twitter]], he also cited [[YMMV/DrCrafty the show's YMMV page here]] as a useful aggregate of fan criticism.
* CreatorBacklash: During a celebratory rewatch of ''Dr. Crafty'' just before his [=VTuber=] debut the next day, Crafty admits that he regrets the fat jokes Crafty made at Nurse's expense throughout Season 2, deeming them unfunny and flat-out mean. His embarrassment is as plain as day when he happens across one such joke in "Aqua Marina." It's also a symptom of a larger issue he has with the same season: Crafty and Nurse's constant bickering, which wore out its welcome with the writers fast and led to them turning the relationship around in Season 3.

* HeAlsoDid: Crafty is already well known for drawing the titlecards for ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'', as well as the voice of Pollo, Linkara's robot sidekick.

* TheMerch: ''Dr. Crafty'' merchandise is available on [[https://www.teepublic.com/user/drcrafty TeePublic]]. Much of it contains additional artwork of the show's main cast used for buttons, mugs, posters, and other memorabilia. Additionally, Crafty puts up some of his fan art for the same purpose.

** "Worst Sonic Characters" received quite a response from the [[WebOriginal/TheCommentaryCommunity YouTube Commentary Community]], with commentaries on the episode done by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5T8mqCMCbNw Keyblade Master]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAbySqjOKOg NaiTaiDai]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Djfro0dPf9c Ceradust]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZkwtHdeN6E&t Azelf101]], among others as Crafty and his team produced the last few episodes of Season 4.

There, the ''Crafty''-original cast speed-date several commentators, with some of the ones who did commentaries on "Worst Sonic Characters" being among them.

* SeriesHiatus: After much deliberation, Crafty ultimately announced his decision to put the series on hold in August 2022. The funds needed to cover production costs just aren't available to him, and most of his production team members are busy with other projects. Thus, he's begun doubling down on [=VTubing=] in addition to the commission work he already does, hoping to attract enough attention and financial support on both Twitch and Patreon to warrant continuing his first show. [[OrphanedSeries This hiatus would be updated to a full-on cancelation a few months later]].
* ScheduleSlip:
** Personal matters have forced Crafty to skip a week at one point or another. Thankfully he has the foresight to warn his fans via Twitter.
** The [=HalloWinter=] Special Month was going to be Season 1's Halloween Month, but Hurricane Irma damaged Crafty's home and forced the episodes to be delayed until December.

** Throughout Seasons 1 to 3, Crafty and Disgustilda share the same voice actor, Crafty himself. However, when Season 4 came around, Crafty opted to step down from voicing Disgustilda, feeling that her replacement, xthedarkone, does a much better job capturing the character's energy.

* WordOfGod: Crafty, [[https://twitter.com/Doctor_Crafty/status/1017614827949355009 on Twitter]], claimed that anything Pepper’s creator [[https://www.deviantart.com/blue-paint-sea Blue-Paint-Sea]] does with the character is canon to the show. Thus, tropes pertaining to Blue-Paint-Sea's art as it pertains to ''Dr. Crafty'' are covered throughout these ''Dr. Crafty'' pages.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Nurse Worse's [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/doctor-crafty/images/7/73/Scrapped_nurse_worse_design.png/revision/latest?cb=20190520194812 first design]] was done by Crafty himself. In addition to having shorter hair, an outfit that exposed her breasts, and a pair of massive test tubs that she carried in her hands, she had many smaller details piled up on her upper body. Crafty wasn't satisfied with the result, so he took the design to Rin Lockhart, who streamlined Nurse into her final design. This bit of production trivia is given a nod in "Street Frighters." After Crafty gives a speech about the importance of first drafts, Nurse's first design suddenly rises into the frame next to her final counterpart, and an embarrassed Crafty shoves her away.
** In production, Pepper's spin-off segment was going to be called ''Crafty's OC Cook-Off.'' The premise, which involved fan-submitted characters being harshly criticized by Crafty and Pepper, was scrapped, as it was incongruous with Pepper's character and risked being too insulting to its audience. Thus, ''Crafty's Chara-Cafe'' was conceived; there, Crafty and Pepper design [=OCs=] based on a list of qualities voted upon by the show's Patreon supporters. The original premise would later be retooled into ''Crafty's Shake-Up Salon,'' with Crafty and Stylene critiquing and improving fan-submitted characters from existing properties.
** Out of all the spin-off hosts, [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/doctor-crafty/images/d/dd/Old_Messibelle.png/revision/latest?cb=20201224205435 Messibelle]] received the most significant changes before she was formally introduced. Scribbled-Death's initial concept art for Messi was far more modest in execution, placing more focus on her snail-motif with her massive, slug-like lower body. Tansley played a big part in making Messi's design into what it is now. Most prominently, he gave Messi humanoid legs, but he also did more to emphasize how raunchy Messi is as a character. Her body became exaggeratedly skinny with plump assets ([[DevelopmentGag including a very fat butt as a nod to how bottom-heavy the original design was]]), her outfit was adjusted to accentuate those assets, and she received a more expressive face with her signature heart-shaped pupils.
** Back when Season 4 was still in production, Crafty and his team [[https://youtu.be/HBnO4SwgZig?t=227 considered splitting off the show's storyline segments into their own accompanying series]], called ''Dr. Crafty Stories''. They would also apply a distinct label to the thumbnails of older videos containing important plot elements, to make it easier for those invested in the story to follow along. To test the waters on this idea, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seSjve9ks0c&t=1s Questions and Answers]]" was later released, doubling as a preview to Season 4. However, this approach proved to be far too confusing for the team, so they reverted back to the original storytelling format. "Questions and Answers" became the opening of the first episode of Season 4: "We're Back! A Crafty Story!" The idea of thumbnail labels was never fully put into practice; only "Magic Kingdom Mania's" thumbnail has one.
** Season 4 was going to end on an RPG Month. However, after experiencing severe burnout from producing Hero Month in Season 3, the show's production team decided to improve its management, with the changes taking into effect midway through Season 4. Consequentially, the team was forced to scrap the original finale month for Season 4, giving the team ample time to adjust to its new work plan but leaving Season 4 with only five months instead of the usual six. Tansley would later upload the completed pieces that would've been shown during RPG Month on the show's website.
** For "Crafty Horror Picture Show," the Halloween Month Season 4 finale, it turns out that Crafette singing a rendition of 'Sweet Transvestite' was ''plan C'': Tansley revealed in the ''Crafty'' Discord server that the original plan was for Crafty to wear the ensemble himself, but Tansley wasn't able to properly hit the notes needed for the song. They couldn't find a male singer that could match Crafty's voice and sing the song properly either, so instead, they decided to give Elsie Lovelock the spotlight as Crafette.
** Production of the Season 4 Patreon Episodes ceased following the announcement of ''Dr. Crafty's'' hiatus. All that remains of them are the illustrations, which Crafty had posted to the public Discord to serve as a preview for their respective episodes.
** A stream held in December 2022 revealed a ''lot'' of plot threads and unused ideas for Season 5.
*** The inciting incident behind Sasha and Crafty's breakup would have been revealed here. Back when they were still together, Crafty had started receiving college acceptance letters. ''Several'' universities were impressed with him and wanted him in their student bodies... But Crafty recognized that if he joined any of them, he'd be leaving Sasha behind. She wasn't comfortable exploring the world just yet, and as his first love and friend, he respected that while wanting to spend as much time with her as possible. He promptly decided to hide every letter he received, from not just Sasha, but his parents, to avoid the matter entirely and hold onto his newfound happiness for as long as he cod. Eventually, however, his parents would find out what he'd been doing; during a tearful conversation, they would intuit the motives behind his actions without directly confronting him, not wanting to take away what made him happy but recognizing that he was making his life worse this way. Sasha would overhear this conversation, and, blaming herself for holding Crafty back, she decided to flee without saying a word, leading to Crafty's long-standing bitterness toward her until Season 4.
*** There would come a point in Season 5 when Crafty would invite Sasha to stay with him and the other Crewmates in his castle for a few episodes, which would explore her dynamics with the rest of the cast. However, Crafty would become aware of Sasha's filmmaking career in California, and how she's repeating his mistakes from back when they first met by leaving her opportunities behind her to stay with him. Both parties handle the matter much more gracefully than the first incident, and Sasha ultimately decides to return to California to continue her career after leaving Crafty on good terms. From there, Crafty would finally start taking notice of Nurse's crush on him, and he'd reciprocate, leading to the series definitively exploring what that relationship would be like.
*** It would have been revealed that some of Screw's original personality remained despite Mindstein's modifications of her, and after one last confrontation with Nurse, she would be restored back to being Hazel. What would become of her after that wasn't revealed, but Crafty did explain an important retroactive detail about "Magic Kingdom Mania": Screw was directly responsible for sending Crafty flying over to UA High School. For a brief moment before landing her punch on him, she silently calculated the exact distance necessary to send him to where he would find help.
