Also, to the people who keep looking on the negative side of the Stalia ship instead of the positive side:

There's a negative side to the Stydia ship (just like every other ship). Stiles always cared about Lydia but nobody can say that Lydia always cared about Stiles, because she didn't. I always found it quite harsh that Lydia only recognized and cared for Stiles after he started saving people and being a hero. For S1 and S2, she ignored him and treated him like absolute garbage. Stiles did everything he could to make her happy but Lydia was unappreciative of that. Lydia never "let him down" easy or told him that she just didn't have any romantic feelings for him, she just ignored him and was cocky with him every time he tried to confess his feeling for her. I think Lydia has grown in character and I do like the "new Lydia" but part of me still feels like she only appreciates Stiles because of everything he's done. It was only after he was her "knight in shining armor" that she started to respect and appreciate him. He had good qualities even BEFORE he started helping out Scott and the pack: He was smart, funny, kind, and good looking (though, personality > looks). Even then she didn't appreciate him. That bothered me very much and still bothers me now.

That being said, I would be fine with either Stalia or Stydia as endgame. I just think Malia appreciates Stiles more. Sure, she punched him the first time they were reunited, but after that she never ignored him or took him for granted.
