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 14, '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 Episode 14, 'The List', 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 Season 18 Episode 2, 'Gluten Free Ebola', but this is only for one episode. 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.
