#but his reasons aren't just 'bwahaha he's evil now!!' and I find it really unserious when I see folks act like it is

Creek being representative of toxic positivity is such an interesting concept. Like, the idea of Creek as this guy who desperately has to stay above it all because he's too terrified to face more painful emotions. How in every scene he's trying to mediate, keep the peace between everyone, stay positive even with death looming over their heads. How he was so terrified of himself dying that he made a split second decision against his better judgment if it meant the lives of his friends, his home. How he acknowledged he'd have to live with the weight of his choice and the blood on his hands.
