(Anonymous) 2012-10-06 03:45 am (UTC)(link)"connection" implies that she's interested back
Not the connotation I intended, but okay, I'll go with "interest" if that works better. And no, wrapping it up wouldn't be difficult, but do they want to? I don't know how far these writers plan ahead, but if I had worked out a few years of plot that included Styles/Lydia, I think I'd be reluctant to discard it, and I could understand the writers' choice to keep heading in the original direction if that is what they choose to do.
I'm not arguing it's impossible -- however fandom seems way too convinced it's inevitable.

(Anonymous) 2012-10-06 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)The casual way the show portrays homosexuality as normal is totally wonderful and I think that is a sign that the showrunners at least wouldn't reject the idea of making it canon out of their own homophobia.
Jeff Davis, Teen Wolf's show creator, executive producer, and head writer, is gay himself, so I truly hope he wouldn't reject the idea out of his own homophobia. (I didn't mention his being gay as a point in Sterek's favor before because there are too many counterexamples like Sherlock, which Mark Gatiss's involvement hasn't prevented from being a hot mess as far as depiction of queer characters is concerned. But I don't think that's due to Gatiss's internalized homophobia, but rather to other tl;dr reasons, and I'm pretty sure the same is/would be true of Davis, if he indeed never comes through with a fully-fledged queer relationship on Teen Wolf.)
Re: Stiles/Lydia. I'm pushing back extra hard on this idea because I'm annoyed and a bit creeped out by the prevalence of "You Belong with Me"-type relationship dynamics in popular media. I've seen some people argue that Stiles's sense of entitlement regarding Lydia is borderline abusive, which I disagree with. I'd say the way he talks about and acts towards her is more one part easily seen through bravado, one part humorous self-deprecation, and one part regular teenaged self-centeredness. But I really don't want to see his expectations facilely validated by the show. If they do end up together, I'd only want it to be after huge amounts of character growth for both Stiles and Lydia, and after Stiles had had a relationship with someone else and Lydia herself had had at least one post-Jackson relationship (real relationships, not I'm-dating-you-to-try-to-forget-my-actual-true-love relationships), and after the show had adequately demonstrated why Lydia would become interested in Stiles despite happily ignoring him for years. All of which, frankly, I don't trust Davis and the other Teen Wolf writers to do at all well, so I'm hoping they sidestep the entire issue and have Stiles get over his crush.
