what're you waiting for?

[knifenotes]

Hello Creekside fans, today I offer you a silly meme redraw

Tomorrow? Who knows

[knifenotes]

how does [redacted] realize that he has feelings for csk? does he do anything about it?

to quote a very important tweet:

it's not anything about anthony being attractive or sexy. it's small gestures towards [redacted] that show him how invested he is in getting to know him again. after pushing everyone away for so long, [redacted] is finally willing to let his friend back in and the feelings are overwhelming. anthony remembers small specific things about him that he hasn't even spoken about for 10 years. it makes these stupid little butterflies bubble up in his chest until he realizes how inevitable the feelings are

[redacted] doesn't handle it well when he's identified what those feelings are. he simply feels too much all at once and maybe it comes out in bursts of rage that scare anthony a bit. but [redacted] would never hurt him, he just doesn't know how to cope with how pretty anthony has become all of a sudden

[knifenotes]

I wish you didn't have to see this

how do [redacted] and csk feel about each other as teens? like are there any feelings there or do they only come after they reunite?

anthony definitely has some kind of feelings for him. he would never admit that it's a crush but he's unhealthily obsessed with him and maybe part of that is happening to find that he's very pretty.

[redacted] on the other hand doesn't really feel anything for anthony (or for anyone, for that matter). he finds the idea of relationships and love to be kinda annoying and to only get in the way of his projects.

does Sarah ever forgive [redacted] for seeing csk behind her back? does she ever accept their relationship?

she never truly forgives him, although there is always a tiny part of her that is soft for him. even when he has dished out the worst towards her, sarah is willing to let him live at the very least. [redacted] has betrayed sarah in perhaps the worst way possible, fully corrupted by csk, so she's certainly not a fan of their relationship.

after the betrayal is revealed and csk and [redacted] are fully open about their relationship, it is a long game of cat and mouse between them. but now sarah has to keep up with both of them and it's exhausting.

[knifenotes]

does [redacted] know about csk leaving stuff behind for sarah to find? also what lead [redacted] to show csk where he lives?

[redacted] does notice, because csk doesn't mind doing it in front of him with a shit-eating grin. [redacted] will just roll his eyes at him, telling him to stop teasing sarah. he feels a little bad about it because he knows how much it's driving his roommate insane, but a tiny part of him does find it amusing as well.

[redacted] isn't super enthusiastic about showing csk where he lives, but he has to one day in an emergency. either he drags csk into his apartment, and into his secret hideout, or sarah WILL catch him, and it's wayy too early for that confrontation.

the second anthony is in his place, [redacted] takes a moment to frantically hide bits of paper that were strewn about his desk (undoubtedly papers about anthony) but csk just chuckles at him and tells him he promises he won't look. after all, he's grateful he let him in at all and he wouldn't want to immediately ruin that trust.

when was the first time csk and [redacted] kissed after reuniting? how did they feel about it and each other?

the first time they kissed would be the one documented here! though to call it a "kiss" is a bit of a stretch. csk is definitely more eager and forward with redacted, even when though redacted is a bit more hesitant. his hesitance comes from not quite understanding csk's intentions, also part of him is guilty for seeing csk behind sarah christ's back.

when csk and redacted do kiss for the first time, it's actually a more tender and quiet moment. csk has learned to be a bit less pushy with redacted, so when he finally feels ready, redacted is the one who initiates!

as for the second part of your ask, this would be something they expected. they've known each other for so long and relied on each other so much as kids that it goes beyond their underlying trust issues with other people (especially for redacted).

now that they're older and have a better grasp of those feelings, it's something they just fall into. like i said, csk is way more eager to jump into it since they were apart for a while, but once things settle down for the two of them, they get to lean in more into those feelings they have for each other ^^

[knifenotes]

does csk get jealous of sarah christ because of her connection to [redacted]? also does sarah ever suspect anything between them before she officially finds out?

oh absolutely. the creekside killer is not great at hiding his emotions when it comes to how jealous he feels about those two. although it's hardly warranted considering [redacted] and sarah christ aren't even a romantic couple. by the time anthony enters the picture, they're basically just roommates. even then, anthony would much rather have [redacted] all to himself

and sarah is pretty much always suspicious, even if she doesn't encounter anthony many times in person. but she can see the evidence of someone being around and it drives her crazy. [redacted] has a secret room in his place that sarah doesn't know about and it makes a prime location to hide csk whenever he comes over. there have been a few close calls where sarah almost finds him, but the only concrete things she finds are the small clues he leaves behind to torment her

do csk and [redacted] ever call each other by their real names?

so of course they call each other ian and anthony as teens, but even then, ian is a bit hesitant to be called that in public/in writing.

jumping to the adult timeline, [redacted] always calls him anthony. he might call him the creekside killer for dramatic effect, but otherwise he doesn't mind using his name. it's a very different story the other way around though. anthony knows better than to call [redacted] by his real name, even though he still knows him by ian in his head. but eventually, it just slips out. anthony is very apologetic and [redacted] just freezes in his tracks, hearing his own name for the first time in years. csk expects [redacted] to be livid at him, but ian only quietly asks him to say it again. he realizes how much he actually enjoys hearing that word from anthony's mouth. how in a way, his name belongs to only him.

[knifenotes]

how does Sarah christ react to csk and [redacted] getting together?

I can say that we'll put out more detail about this with a timeline of events but 👀 it's an absolutely shocking and heartbreaking moment for Sarah, when everything finally clicks into place and she realizes the extent to which she's been betrayed
