Ok so in my honest opinions, the boys coming to each other and taking hands was not them “giving up to what the town wanted”, but them accepting themselves.

The both seemed confused and torn about the situation for the entire episode.

Given the context and some clues dropped, I think they were both feeling something (or realized when the girls began to draw). They were basically struggling not to accept it.

Tweek let go first. He got really emotional and just seemed to finally seem super… He seemed like he wanted to be with craig for real? Especially in his last speech.

And craig still was struggling. He’s got his dad who has made a clear point. It makes sense with how he was acting that Craig was not going to outright admit his feelings.

Then his dad talked to him and… He came to Tweek.

Tweek looked so fucking shocked like “for real? Me? Hold hands?”

And then there it was.

Tldr; this was more about the pressure of coming out and the reasons why people become confused or deny it. Tweek and craig both had their reasons but I believe, in the end, that this is real.

Creek = confirmed.
