Lydia Martin Appreciation Week is back for 2025!
How to Participate
Simply create something about Lydia. Fic, art, gifsets, moodboards etc are all welcome. If you want your work reblogged, simply tag it #LydiaWeek2025 or tag @lydiamartinappreciation. If you write fic on ao3, you can add it to the Lydia Martin Week 2025 collection.
All works must be Lydia-centric and Lydia-positive. A further list of rules can be found here.
Prompts
NOTE: These are just a guide. You can produce visual work for the writing prompts and you can produce written work for the visual prompts. You can combine prompts. You can choose not to use the prompts. All of this is just for fun.
Writing Prompts
Day 1: Found Family
Who are the people Lydia consider to be her family? How have their relationships changed and evolved over the course of the show and how might they continue to change post-canon? Alternatively, maybe you want to go pre-canon and show us Lydia first meeting some of the characters she later considers her closest friends and family.
Day 2: Banshee Lydia
What does it mean to be a banshee? What elements of lore could you explore? How does Lydia deal with her powers? Are there any other banshees Lydia interacts with and what do these relationships look like?
Day 3: What-If Wednesday
It's What-If Wednesday! Here for all your missing scene, fix-it and alternate universe needs.
Day 4: Friend or Foe
How does Lydia interact with and feel about some of the villains of the show? How does she feel about the villains turned allies? What about allies turned villains? Are there any parallels you could draw?
Day 5: Rarepair Friday
Today we're focusing on rarepairs. This could be romantic, platonic, familiar etc. Any kind of bond works. We simply want to celebrate the less appreciated dynamics (or potential dynamics) of the show.
Day 6: Outside the Supernatural
What does Lydia's life look like when she's not fighting supernatural creatures and trying to save Beacon Hills? What's a typical Saturday night for her? What are her hopes and dreams? Her hobbies? Who is Lydia outside of being a banshee?
Day 7: Free Day
Do whatever you want - Just have fun!

Day 4: Quotes / Song Lyrics
Are there any quotes or lyrics that sum up Lydia to you? It could be a quote from the show or anywhere really.
Day 5: Rarepair Friday
Today we're focusing on rarepairs. This could be romantic, platonic, familiar etc. Any kind of bond works. We simply want to celebrate the less appreciated dynamics (or potential dynamics) of the show.

Day 7: Free Day
Do whatever you want - Just have fun!
