Stendy

Stendy is the het ship between Stan Marsh and Wendy Testaburger from the South Park fandom.

Canon
In Season 1 Episode 1, titled 'Cartman Gets an Anal Probe'. When Wendy Testaburger was introduced, Stan is shown to have feelings toward her, though he denies it after Cartman teases him about it. Wendy gives Stan a letter about meeting her at the Stark's Pond after school, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny and Chef all give him some suggestions about it. The episode ends with both of them trying to kiss, after Stan stopped puking once when talking to Wendy; Though it ends up in him puking again.

Wendy breaks up with Stan once more in Season 20 Episode 2, 'Skank Hunt', mostly due to pressure from her friends and not out of her own desire to do so. In 'South Park: The Fractured But Whole', a video game which takes place after the events of Season 21 Episode 4, 'Franchise Prequel', they are shown to have gotten back together again.

In the later seasons, Season 26 Episode 4; Wendy is seen trying to fix the main problem of their relationship: Lack of Communication

Summary
They both genuinely like each other, but immature at moments, an example of this is the gag wherein Stan had the tendency to puke whenever Wendy talks to him because his feelings for her make him nervous.

They both have their moments, and scenes where they try to maintain their relationship. Stan is the type wherein he faces difficulty in expressing his emotions, and struggles to create a deep bond with people, Wendy often mistakes this as Stan not liking her, but they're trying their best to do their part. They both have bad habits that negatively affects their relationship, but in the end, they are still kids, trying to figure out what's okay to do, and what's not. Both of them have a hard time opening up to each other, but they're in the process of it (Since Wendy opened up to Stan during S26, EP4, although Stan wasn't being completely honest, it just shows that Wendy is willing to do so if they genuinely tried communicating, anyway, Stan seems to have felt guilty because of his dishonesty, and hopefully they get better in the future.)
