okay am i the only one who had vivid flashbacks to the end of 6x1 of teen wolf when mobius didn’t know who loki was?? bc all i could picture was stiles being asked who he was by everyone he loved and my heart simply bROKE
watched Love And Monsters finally and first of all, loved it, but i just love that delta airlines decided that the main character was no longer joel, but dylan o’brien himself
Okay but it’s actually so cute and kinda funny that Lydia got so worried and guilty about not saying I love you back to Stiles but the second they saw each other and she told him that he was like “lol cool story I already knew anyway so I’m just gonna kiss you rn and not ask you to say it”. Like he was so confident in that moment that I remember being genuinely surprised when he stepped forward to kiss her.
I agree! What you described is a big part of why I love their reunion so much. Because there had to be moments all along when Stiles thought Lydia loved him, others when he was sure of it. But this is really the first time we as the audience get the validation we’ve been waiting for: Stiles knows that Lydia loves him, probably has for a long time.
And while his confidence might seem surprising at first glance, it also makes perfect sense. Because Stiles has always been confident in his love for Lydia. Then, somewhere along the way, he figured out just how much she loves him back.
But there was one more piece to the puzzle: Stiles needed to know that Lydia was ready to move forward with him. Once he knows that, the confidence comes naturally.
It says so much about them as a couple. After everything they’ve been through, they are in the place where saying “I love you” is really just affirmation. Don’t get me wrong – saying those words, hearing them too, is significant and wonderful, and I’m sure Lydia does tell Stiles she loves him soon after. But above all else, showing love the way these two have – season after season... to me, that’s even more impactful than the words themselves.
Plus, their reunion links so perfectly to the previous episode, when Lydia realizes that she never said it back. Up until her memories were recovered, all she had to go on was feeling. And her feelings were so strong that she just assumed she verbalized them too. When she realizes that she didn’t, her pain is palpable – and ironically unnecessary – because Stiles DID know. He knew, and he was just waiting for the moment when he could let Lydia know that too.
Her reaction also says a lot about her progress as a character, if I might add. This is a girl who, not so long ago, would rather bury her feelings than talk about them. But now, she can’t think of a single reason why she never told the most important person in her life how she feels about him.
So yeah, Stiles knowing how Lydia feels about him, being so certain that he can dive into a kiss without any hesitation – that is monumental. Better still, the exchange between them is the culmination of years’ worth of unspoken love. It’s beautiful. It’s romantic. It’s profound. It’s poorly lit (come on TW, put a light on!). It’s Stydia.
ten years ago, jackson asked scott “where are you getting your juice” and scott answered “my mom does all the grocery shopping” and just like that, television comedy was invented
So, I know Starkid isn’t incredibly underrated, but I want more people to know about them, because they are totally awesome and deserve more recognition. So reblog if you find this post and are a Starkid, and if you aren’t, go watch their musicals! Especially Harry Potter, Disney, and Batman fans.
