One of the reasons I think Sterek fans or Thiam fans still continue to like and ship Sterek or Thiam is because of the actors.
Dylan and Tyler Hoechlin have always said they've loved Stiles and Derek's dynamics , they said they would love to explore it more.
Cody and Dylan Sprayberry have also said they've loved Thiam but it was never going to happen.
Khylin teased Thiam and said they have amazing chemistry too.
Hoechlin even suggested a scene to Jeff where Stiles is angry and let's out all his frustration on Derek ( beating him up or whatever) and Derek letting him because he understands.
Hoechlin also talked about trying to add one last sterek moment for the fans during the finale but it was cut by someone ( we know who )
Hell, Holland Roden , the other half of the stydia ship has on multiple occasions stated that she like Sterek.
The only person who cause chaos and gave his unsolicited opinion about Sterek was Posey who called it a bizarre twisted thing ( which Hoechlin later slightly shaded by the way)
While I understand he was frustrated that people were watching the show only for Sterek and not him , the show is for us to watch and enjoy however we want as an audience .
It is fair to get annoyed when fans bombard the writers actors or others about demanding more scenes from 2 character just because they ship them .
We saw how Sterek and Thiam were queerbaited , even though the actors were 100% comfortable.
The actors are comfortable and openly talk about the ships instead of pretending like it doesn't exist or that fans are delusional or twisted for seeing them in a romantic light.
✨A “restoration” of sorts, made from various snippets of this moment that I’ve managed to find. Sucks that it wasn’t shared in it’s entirety… but, with a little sleuthing, this is what I’ve put together, from the (scarce) material that’s out there. Yes, I have a problem… but I couldn’t rest until I saw this interaction in its entirety.✨
No, I will not be sharing any of my sources for these… neither privately, nor publicly… because the last thing that the people who posted these clips need is a bunch of freaks like us harassing them!!! I hate to be that guy, but I refuse to give access to those of us who don’t know how to conduct ourselves.
