Creek (fandom)

In fandom, Creek is the romantic pairing of Tweek Tweak and Craig Tucker, fictional characters from the American animated series South Park. Two elementary-school aged boys, Tweek and Craig were originally depicted as enemies in the season 3 episode "Tweek vs. Craig". The pairing derives from shipping culture, where shippers drew fan-art of the two; the ship was made canon in the season 19 episode "Tweek x Craig".

The Creek ship has become one of the most popular in the South Park fandom, particularly through fan creations. It has been praised by critics, mainly for its positive representation of homosexuality. Tweek and Craig's differing personalities have been a point of discussion amongst critics, with one suggesting their behavior in "Put It Down" parallels the varying attitudes between American citizens towards a potential nuclear strike from North Korea onto the United States. The video game South Park: The Fractured but Whole contains several references to Creek, with a side quest of the game consisting of collecting yaoi of the two.
