Stendy

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

Canon
Stan and Wendy developed crushes on each other sometime before the pilot episode, where they start their relationship. Stan has the tendency to puke whenever Wendy talks to him because his feelings for her make him nervous. He eventually stops this habit. Since they are so young, their relationship (especially in earlier seasons) can be rather immature at moments.

When Stan gets a crush on their new teacher in 'Tom's Rhinoplasty', Wendy tries repeatedly to win back his affections. When this doesn't work, she hires people to fling the teacher into the sun. There are several other examples of Wendy becoming jealous, such as Wendy mistaking an interaction between Stan and one of his grandmother's friends as romantic in 'You Have 0 Friends.' Stan also becomes jealous at moments, like when Wendy and Kyle are paired up in 'Follow That Egg!' and Stan spends the majority of the episode upset about it.

They first break up in the season 7 episode 'Raisins', where Wendy dumps Stan so she can date Token. This causes him to fall into a depression and become goth for a short period of time. During this, he writes a poem about his feelings for Wendy, which includes the lines "I miss you so much, babe. Want to hold you in my arms again, girl.", much to the goth kids' annoyance.

They get back together in season 11 after Stan enlists Wendy's help to uncover the truth behind the girls' ranking of the boys. At the end of the episode, Stan vomits before Wendy can kiss him, though this is the last time the gag is used.

They temporarily break up again in 18x2, but this is only for one episode.

Wendy breaks up with Stan once more in 'Skank Hunt', mostly due to pressure from her friends and not out of her own desire to do so.

As of the most recent episodes they are not currently dating, but the video game 'South Park: Fractured But Whole' states that they are dating. However, it is unknown at what particular season the video game is set in, so it is possible it is set before their most recent breakup. It is also unknown if The Fractured But Whole is considered canon in the show's main timeline.
