I advocate violence where it is needed, and yes this isn't one of those times.
also I don't think that Scott has beefed up any, more like just is trying to man up somewhat, ok he isn't going about it the right way yet, though at least he's stopped slouching and slumping his shoulders like he used to.

Super tired of watching the shippers bash Matt for no real reason while totally failing to examine the total SKETCHness of our power-couple's dynamic. :) But its ok. Bash the lonely Stag because hes a jock, and doesnt deserve good things when he poses a threat (no threat) to everyone's favorite ship. #best
I know and have said before that Matthew isn't a bad guy, he is just being so pushy all of the time, and in that in this he slips into being "the protagonist" unto Scott.
I do hope that Matthew will have learned some things about when to push and when to back off, in the hopes that he can become a good friend to both Scott and Derek, and maybe/hopefully for when he finds another guy to try to date, so that he doesn't make the same mistake of alienating that guy too from the get go.

His being "pushy" makes literal complete sense lol. I question why people dont understand that characters HAVE FLAWS and that INCLUDES the "main couple" i.e everyone is totally ignoring the age discrepancy, the fact that doggo boy isnt even OUT/lying, etc. Matt has never met (that we know of) another guy whos gay. His fixation makes complete sense. Bashing him because hes lonely and trying to understand is asinine and insensitive to the issues ALL queer men deal with as teenagers/young adults. The fact that nobody is questioning Scott's constant lying is also super cringey.
understanding where Matthew's pushiness/competitiveness comes from, doesn't make it better. just as understanding where the attraction for an age different relationship may come from, doesn't make it better or worse.(within a reasonable age difference, as even I would highly question if someone was to only want to date people that were 20 something years older or younger than their own age.)
and yup Scott's lying is a bad thing, though it too is a perfectly understandable defense mechanism.(look at how Matt has been hiding his own sexuality from almost everyone else, what with pretending: to be dating Amy, and a straight son of a Judge.)
people lie, push, and deny both themselves and others, when they don't trust either their own feelings/thoughts and/or the intentions of others. (in this case that is from Scott's point of view, twice bitten twice shy unto how much he wants to deal with Matt.)
I can admit that as characters, I have grown to like: Mike, and Derek, more than Scott and Matt, in that they are honest unto themselves and others with what they know that they want, and they aren't trying to hide that they are out to get it, I await for both Scott and Matt to finally have that understanding and maturity as well.
to keep running with that train of thought, I'd be just as happy to see any two pairings of these afore mentioned characters end up with each other, though I don't see Scott or Derek wanting to give up on each other just in that their ages trouble some of their friends(or some of the readers).

The difference is one defense mechanism is going to hurt someone, while the other isnt really doing all that much except to Matt himself (aka internalized crap). It makes it better for the simple reason that Matt doesnt hurt anyone but himself to hide it (he also doesnt hide it from people who matter like Amy for example). Age difference is fine when we are talking about mature adults, but not when its high school maturity VS adult maturity. Two different areas of life. Massive discrepancies. While its POSSIBLE to have ok relationships there, thats generally not the case. You dont suddenly get adult maturity and relational experience when you turn 18 or graduate high school. It can work, that doesnt make it any less sketch. We will see. (I also thought Mike was kind of cute though Im partial to stags and lions lol)
Nice to see someone sharing the same opinion as me. Myself, I think that Scott and Matt would make a better couple if Scott wasn't being so.. strange. Looks like this chapter will see the confrontation between them all so maybe things will get sorted out. I just hope Matt doesn't end up hurt, I really do like him as a character.
Im totally fine with Derrick and Scott being endgame lol. I just recognize that Matt is a good guy who ALSO deserves something good. I have zero desire to watch him become a casualty both in the comic and on the message boards because people are ignorant lol. Scott shouldn't be lying to him. Its stupid, serves zero purpose and only FURTHER complicates thing unnecessarily. I am also tired of everyone bashing him over super normal teenage behavior that most of us have been guilty of at some point and acting like our main couple is guiltless.
I love Derrick to death. Hes a sweetheart who while not very wise, deserves good things (Lions are also just my favorite guys lol). Im not a huge fan of Scott. Like hes not a bad kid, but hes being EXTREMELY insecure and irresponsible, and hes getting people hurt because of it. Which means I dont like him lol. Ive dealt with enough people like that irl both romantically and in friendships. Matt? Matts a good kid. Hes super lonely, and also from what weve seen a nice guy? Like I dont know about yall, but jocks in my experience are NOT well liked by people at school. Yet he is. That says a lot about him. Hes got issues, but at least he isnt lying to multiple sets of people because hes uncomfortable trademark.
Scott's denial is "over 9000" I wonder if on some levels if he is still lying to himself, or if he just can't handle being "outted" yet, sadly either way.
both his stance and Matthew's efforts can't help either of them feel better right now...
it's sad, poor Matthew is desperate for one of two outcomes that Scott just can't handle(the whole truth, or for him to give into his advances), and Scott is desperate to just be let alone to try to figure this out, without having anyone labeling it, and thus labeling him too.

I do understand it too, as I had hid my sexuality from the main school body too.(refused ever to 'hunt' any guy that was in my school, while I was still in school.) though my closest high school friends did know that I was bi with a guy preference, even in the last two years of high school.
Matt should've thought about that before he was being pushy toward Scott. True, Scott shouldn't have asked him about his sexuality, and it was a bad move, that's true. But it's still no excuse for what he attempted to do to Scott two days earlier. He stopped trusting Matt after that stunt he tried to pull. And who could blame him?
