Are They Gay? - Derek Hale and Stiles Stilinski (Sterek) 

Gay

Stiles' father was right. He's not gay, he is actually BISEXUAL

If Stiles was a girl, "she" would have dated Scott, Jackson and Derek by the end of season 1.

“Scott is too busy being stupid,” the whole series in a nutshell

The queerbaiting in this show is painful on another level

“Let’s try to examine it with an.. open mind.” *Stiles is 100% bi*

"Are you lonely?" *Bisexual silence* Derek: "Maybe"

I can’t count the amount of times stiles (and literally every Dylan O’Brien character) has been shoved against a wall... ~ bottom energy ~

The queerbaiting in Teen Wolf is criminal.

Just saying, if styles was a girl, it would've been canon

“They meet a really edgy Jacob from Twilight with a just as generic name.... DEREK”

"Danny disappeared." Worst executive decision. Danny was best boi. His romance with Ethan was amazing.

Can we just talk about the fact that Stiles was 100% ready to commit to coming out to his dad just to explain why he was at a gay bar?

"You're not gay." "Wha-I could be!" 😂😂😂

The main reason Sterek is so successful is because Dylan and Tyler have an extreme chemistry offscreen and it comes through onscreen

Show: this male character is straight Me: okay Character: *makes eye contact with an unnamed male npc* Me: they're gay, the canon is false

To be fair, it’s Tyler (Scott’s actor) who said that Sterek was a twisted thing and, if I’m not wrong, the other Tyler (Derek’s actor) defended Sterek’s shippers by saying that SOME actors *cough* Scott’s *cough* said unnecessary and rude things to fans and that we shouldn’t listen to them

"touching" derek: slams stiles' head on the steering wheel

"They're all just emo loners" honey aren't we all

Can we talk about how Jennifer acts a lot like Stiles before you find out she's the darach and that's how she attracts Derek. Like, she is basically a female Stiles

16:27 “always touching...” *sLAMS STILES HEAD ON THE WHEEL.*

even the actors said they would have liked to do "sterek" at the show

Me at anything: yes its gay

The bisexual club question scene was also cast in pink and blue light, the whole scene was in bisexual colors. There's a lot more gay hints in the production. Hidden themes, but it was alllllll queerbait. The show used gay fans for publicity and then betrayed them. There's also the queerbaiting that happened outside of the show- look up Stiles and Derek on a boat. What the show runners did to the show was horrible. Teen Wolf is toxic.

It may be my *HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA* talking 😂

the time when i properly started noticing sterek is when they fell on top of each other after being paralysed in season 2... i'm sorry, but there is no heterosexual explanation for that...

sterek is "bizarre, weird, and twisted" yet the show literally shoved down a pairing of Derek and Kate (the woman who molested him and killed his entire family)

bruh stiles literally said "I want you" to Derek when they were in his room and Derek pushed him up against a wall

I don’t get how so many people don’t see it. It’s not delusional shipping when their every single interaction gets intimate for no reason. Why did they make Derek go to Stiles's house in S1 Ep9, make him pin Stiles against the wall with just silence for 10 seconds and then make him undress in-front of Stiles and his gay friend. In season 2 they're paralyzed and fall on top of each other with other characters making weird comments about it. If Stiles was a girl then this would absolutely be seen as romantic. At the end we were robbed and qveerbaited, so disgusting...

"To the untrained eye stiles might look like a straight dude."😂

"A raging bisexual"

just make a season 7 and let them get married pls

“It may be my *homosexual agenda* talking” is literally me all the time

"The phone-plan doesn't work out really well beacuse Scott is too busy being stupid." Dead. THIS. This is the show ahahahaha

When you realize Derek needs to stop being with women...

I'm sad you didn't include the moment at the end of season 4 when Derek nearly dies from a bezerker and he's lying on the ground and tells everyone to just go and save Scott,, Stiles was the only one to look back about 7 times before finally running with them

I know Im really late but Sterek would have been perfect at the end for their storyline. Derek opens up to loving again but it happens for a man and Stiles is no longer insecure and alone. A lovely ending.

You know what's funny? If this was between girl and a guy everybody would ship it, but because it's guy and a guy 50% of people don't ship it. And the only reason why this ship didn't happen is Tyler Posey.

i dont even watch teen wolf but im here for this

Season 2: Matt: I don't know Derek, I think you both make a beautiful couple... Me: YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!! My family: YESSSSSSSSS!!!! The whole world: YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

Let’s not forget when Derek is going through a really rough time and can’t distinguish reality from dreams and it’s styles how comes to his rescue for support, only to realise it was a dream sequence and Styles is literally Derek’s dream boy, hero

Jingle bells Kate smells Braeden go away Stiles is hot Jennifer's not Sterek all the way HEY

Does anyone else have the habit of never watching a show or never being part of a fandom (in this case for me, Teen Wolf), but still end up reading a shit ton of the fanfic anyway? I mean I've burned through like 8 pages of Sterek fanfic on AO3 in the past three days, and I still don't know the names of like half the characters.

In my experience, if the question needs to be asked? Yes. They are gay.

Just wanna say, I watched the first episode and immediately made a list on how to improve it. One of the first things I wrote was "but they're in college" As far as I know, college has the same energy but 1) adults of legal consenting age and 2) adults running on caffeine and existential fear. Literally no one would bat an eye at the guy who runs around on the roof, they'd probably be wishing they had enough time and energy to do it themselves.

A world without homophobia. Where gay jokes are constant. Mmm-kay.

dont forget that it was canon during s3b finale that stiles was derek's anchor. Derek immediately thought of Stiles to bring himself back to consciousness.

Stiles's true colors come out Me: 💖💜💙

So here's an easter egg : Notice how fast Stiles recognises Derek and knows so much about his family? Well other people don't a Derek isolated himself for years, even if Stiles knew about the fire from sneaking around his dad's files but there is no way in hell he would know it's Derek's family. It's been years! The case was closed and there definitely were more such fires, so how does Stiles remember? Moving on, Scott had no idea about what was happening but Stiles' first guess was 'werewolf'. Now the question is, why? There could be anything else out there. Scott didn't even think it was an wolf bite, he thought it was a dog! So how did Stiles know so much? And why did he bring him closer to Derek's burnt home? Well my guess is, the guy who helped Derek make it through the fire is actually Stiles. He saw things he shouldn't have and it didhbn't make sense. But Stiles' curiosity obviously led him to research to an extent enough to believe in werewolves. Scott's situation only made him surer. + uhm Danny and Ethan aren't the ones with more screentime, it's mason and corey.

Of course, the great irony is that the show runner is gay.

FINALLY I DID MY WAITING 12 YEARS OF IT

"punching him out of sexual frustration! THEYRE LAYING ON TOP OF EACH OTHER"

"there's just some girl called erica lying unconcious by the pool?????" I CACKLED BRUH honestly tho erica had a whole lotta character development

Where have you been? I have been needing my daily dose of gay.

why does the derek guy have a fidget spinner on his back?

You know what’s crazy, I spent 21 minutes in 2020 watching this and I was actually intrigued 😔😩

I can't count how many times Stiles and Derek look at each other's mouth when Derek pushed him up against his door.

Stile's "That is so sweet, are you kidding?" HAD ME

Don't forget, but when Derek pushed stiles into his room against the wall, I don't know if they realized it, but they looked at each other's mouth more than 4 times :^

okay so i began watching teen wolf like a month ago (because i generally dont like series) because im writing a story about werewolves and i wanted some inspiration. and honestly! the first half of s1 i didnt even think of sterek. i actually thought more of sciles (with the whole major loyalty and trust stiles had for scott, one mind can fly a little LMAO). however, after s3 and aaaall of the developement in their characters that it involved i can say im firmly a sterek fan. i think theres something really precious in the trust they build around each other, especially on dereks side. we know stiles, we know he gets involved with people and the people he cares about. he saves people, he helps people. thats him, and honestly the treatment he gave derek came off more organic to me than crush-ey. he's just helping him like he'd have helped any other character in the show. derek though? god, the character grow in derek is DELICIOUS, and i think the way it's shown towards stiles is the reason sterek does it for me. derek started as a lone wolf (no pun intended LMAO), emotionally closed off and only looking for revenge, which was the reason why he needed scott and a pack. him being around scott and 'caring' for him out of selfishness was a given. now, with stiles? why would he need to care about this human? even when he saved him on and on, nobody would have put past derek to not give back the favor. however, he did. several times, hes shown to care so much for stiles. when stiles was possesed in s3, he was one of the only characters actually actively worrying about his whereabouts and how to find him, along with chris. hes also shown to actually listen to him and his plans, and when the whole guardians humans sacrifices happened, and stiles had expresed his fear about his dad dying, derek seemed to double the energy to save them. not to mention the fact that derek seems to respect and listen to stiles when it comes to plans and stuff, and is the first to doubt his involvement with the nogitsune ("skinny defenseless stiles?" he was disbelieving when people told him the mess had been stiles fault), and to worry about stiles NOT being killed, as he asked chris if he was gonna off him. all in all i can't say if these feelings derek has over stiles are romantic or just pack bond, or even just him desperately trying to save another teenager he became close with because he couldnt save erika and boyd, but i think its VERY obvious that derek DOES have some sort of feelings over stiles. and stiles? stiles is just the eternal puppy lover. he seems to fall in love easily. and also 100% bi, even if its just coded (i would know since ive done maaaany of the things he's done in the show and im bi myself LMAO). beyond the sexual tension that they have, i can see this ship having become eaaaasily canon. however, i think tyler p's distaste for the ship (and honestly i dont think it was distaste bc it was a gay ship, but because it was a ship that was shadowing the MC aka him) played a big part on the decision of not canonizing it. it's sad, because it'd have been one of the first times we get to see a bisexual guy with a mental disorder who's way more than his sexuality or his mental disorder like stiles, and it would have been nice to have someone with a fluid sexuality had derek began dating stiles. i think it would have been very disruptive in the best way. too bad it didnt happen :/

_Completely necessary teen romantic comedy music_

I T ' S N O T G A Y I F Y O U V A P E

there was that moment start of season 5 where stiles looks at dereks initials on that bookshelf and I was like yes they are in love

"You like boys too"? "Yeah do you"? (Freaks in gay)

"A really edgy Jacob from Twilight"

"did you still wanna discuss your paper?" *super dramatic music* i cant

In my head they are canonically together. Like I watched 9/10ths of the show completely accepting that they're gay and then I heard about the queer-baiting thing and I was like, "Wait what? What do you mean they aren't gonna be a thing? Why am I even watching this then?"

“We do know that Derek definitely feels... feelings.” He’s got such a way with words.

"I'll let you decide" You know what I FREAKING DECIDE

2:19 Stiles is a disaster Bi so his clothes match perfectly

"Watching for the wrong reason" really means, they should be watching for meeee, I'm the star!

Stiles is so so so obviously bi. It was hinted at so so so many times.

Not gonna lie I would love if Stiles and Derek dated.

IT'S NOT GAY IF YOU V A P E. I laughed for 5 minutes, I had never heard that.

i've actually read somewhere that they were suposed to be a real thing but the guy who plays scott was kinda jealous and didnt want them to get all the attention from the fandom so it just poofed away

I want 2 things: - Sterek - the writers to not hate Derek

"anger at the season 4 finale of Sherlock" SAME

idk if anyone noticed but the scene where stules has the pink fluorescent lipstick on him literally makes him a bisexual flag, the full left side of his face is blue, it fades into purple and blue, then he has the pink on his lips. its so obvious

Sterek is the only reason keeping me on watching Teen Wolf....

who's back here after the movie? do we all have complicated feelings about the jeep?

I love that Hoechlin totally called Posey out on his Sterek comment recently. Unofficially, but we know who he was talking about.

I'm glad you talk about Tyler Posey's statement on Sterek. I'm not even a shipper, actually, not even a huge fan of the show, but I was appealed at how rude he was. What about the Stydia shippers (that were already numerous before it became canon)? Are they twisted and watching the show for the wrong reasons? No, if they like to watch the show because they like to see how their relationship develop, it's their rights, just like the sterek shippers. Now I don't think Sterek has ever had the possibility of becoming canon, their interactions were amazing, but too scarce to really grow into something. That would have been great, but I would have also been perfectly happy to see them form a deep friendship. Too bad Hoechlin left the show. Edit: wait nevermind, just saw the new teaser, Derek is definitely back.

I've heard, that the writer of the story wanted Stiles and Derek to be gay, but there where to many voices that said that gay main characters shouldn't be part of a kid's show so he decided to take other gay couples

Stiles was Derek's anchor and no-one can change my mind

13:17 "...but it comes from a place of caring,,,,,,,, GAY CARING"

It's not gay when you vape 😂

A Scisaac (Scott and Isaac) video would be nice too, specially since some of their dialogue parallels Scallison dialogues. Also, Scott bisexual energy is also there all the time but it gets outshined by Stiles chaotic bisexual energy and that's so unfair

5:41 actually Stiles wanted to have sex with someone because there was a killer that killed virgins so he didn't want to die.

While everyone is watching this show, I'm reading Sterek fictions from 'Archives of our own'. They have some writers with more creativity than Jeff Davis.

"ambiguously brown"

Can we talk about how stiles made a monoloque abot how diffrent people sometimes suit each other perfectly when talking to Lydia? And how Derek and Stiles are totally diffrent people? Who suit eachother perfectly?

Stiles's big bi energy was largely what brought me to the show, and kept me there through like nearly 5 seasons. Never caught the end of the show, but it's a bit disappointing to hear nothing was ever confirmed on-screen with that. Though really, how could he end up falling for someone else when he has a cool werewolf in his life, constantly playing with his heart?

There's a lot of sexual tension between those two but let's be honest: It's never going to happen.

Not only GAY! but in season 3, episode 10. Derek believes Stiles over Jennifer about her taking his father, almost instantly instead of believing her! That's trust boo boo! And in Derek's dream he dreams of Stiles! He's obviously there, no one else!

What I hated the most about Derek's character is that no one ever acknowledge the fact that his ex girlfriend murdered his family and then gets betrayed again by his new girlfriends and he's just "fine"?

Ah, Teen Wolf which I can never bring myself to watch over again. These two were my only reason for watching, until other side characters became enjoyable. I could have enjoyed it with Sterek not being canon. However, I refuse spend any of my time watching an actor who says I'm twisted for liking their show's queerbaiting ship.

ITS 2AM IM ON 10% AND I DONT EVEN WATCH THIS SHOW LETS DO THIS

Honestly speaking I felt more chemistry between Sterek than I felt with over rated, fan servicing stydia. Before S6 it was pretty clear that Stiles and Lydia suit each other as great friends, a great crime solving detective team together but there was absolutely nothing in their scenes together that hinted at sexual tension or romantic chemistry at all. Even Stalia had way more cuteness in one season (s4) than stydia throughout the show. However when stydia did occur in 6a it was purely fan service and also because the show runners needed to get their ratings back up which had dropped drastically during s5 and also because Dylan O Brien was now in fewer episodes than ever and towards that point a lot of people were basically watching the show only cuz of him. Only in an effort to get their ratings back up did they force that stydia kiss upon us. Don't get me wrong, I love Lydia she's such a badass character, I just never saw any chemistry between her and stiles. And 6b is proof of that. When they reunite in the finale there is so much wrong with it 1) Their reunion felt so bland they barely acknowledge each other hardly even say hi which is not typical of a couple whose supposed to be madly in love ending up together after 6 years of implied "love" for each other. And 2) Lydia was happier to see Jackson,(as shown when she runs to embrace him) the guy who mentally and emotionally ABUSED her than she was to see Stiles the guy who genuinely cared about her be it romantic or not. 3) She hardly acknowledges Stiles during the entire season and in earlier seasons she had Stiles around, she knew he had a crush on her since third grade, she should have taken her chance with him when she could. I get that she already had a boyfriend at that time but even after Jackson left she CHOSE to be with Aiden than Stiles even though he was still around and single. 4) Also, as someone below pointed out, In 6A, Lydia's romantic feelings for Stiles just sprout out of nowhere. I mean just because he suddenly says "remember I love you" before disappearing from memory. Like she kinda already knew he liked her, so why did this trigger her feelings for him despite her never harbouring anything more than platonic feelings for him previously? Just makes no sense. Other than all this, I don't even see any chemistry between them , for me Sterek just felt more right, more in place and more genuine and with actual chemistry between not just the characters but the ACTORS too. (Dylan and T. Hoechilin). And it could have truly grown into something phenomenal had the idiotic show runners bothered to explore its potential further. Bet if it was just another girl/boy pairing they would have made it canon.

Short answer: yes.

I’m not even in this fandom why am I watching this
