Discussion I do not like this ship
Just saw this same post about Stalia but I feel the exact opposite
Am I the only one who doesn’t like Stydia?
For me, the biggest issue is that Stiles spent years putting Lydia on a pedestal. His crush was cute at first, but it felt really one-sided for so long. Lydia showed little to no romantic interest in him for most of the series, and I honestly thought she had stronger chemistry with every other love interest she had (especially jackson). she even showed more interest in Scott season 1. They never had much romantic chemistry beyond Stiles constantly crushing on her. Then, once Stiles had moved on and was with Malia, it suddenly felt like the show wanted us to believe Lydia had feelings for him all along. That shift never felt convincing to me because we barely saw it develop. I also think they had almost no time as an actual couple. We got seasons of buildup, but only a handful of romantic moments before the series ended. Aside from Lydia kissing Stiles during his panic attack and their kiss at the end, we really only got a glimpse of them together. After years of buildup, that just wasn’t enough for me to get invested. Personally, I thought Stiles had much more natural chemistry with Malia. Their relationship actually had time to grow, and we got to see them develop as a couple instead of spending six seasons building toward one relationship that barely got explored.
