fellow lesbo here, personally, I think like 70-80% of het ships are as boring as vanilla ice cream with tofu sprinkles.
I can only really ship het if there's something twisted or uncommon about the relationship.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm a straight chick, and I agree with you whole-heartedly.

[(Anonymous)]

How are 70-80% of het ships boring?

[(Anonymous)]

By being het, probably.

[(Anonymous)]

That explains nothing.

I think that regardless of the sexual orientation of characters in a ship, what makes that ship interesting depends on the creativity of the creators and/or the fans.

If the only thing interesting is just that, perhaps the writers did not flesh out their relationship well enough.

Oh I agree. That's why I bet the only reason the OP would think most het ships are boring is because they're het.

[(Anonymous)]

NAYRT

For me it's because they're generic, predictable, fall into nauseatingly cliched gender roles (especially on the part of the female character who often loses all other plot-related agency the second she becomes part of a het couple), and have nothing at all in them that I can relate to.

Not to say that M/M or F/F ships can't fall into some of those traps too, but it happens much less often.

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed. I'm not a fan of cliched gender roles either, and if the writers haven't added any depth or substance to the relationship, I won't ship it. Also, if the relationship isn't authentic or genuine (or the characters don't seem to be compatible in the long term), I won't ship it.

[(Anonymous)]

Same. There are a couple het ships that are fairly normal that I like because the dynamics are just right and there's a ton of chemistry between the actors, but most of the time they have to be fucked up in some way.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh? I ship a het ship - they can't touch or else one of them dies. Does that count?

[(Anonymous)]

As fucked up? Nah, I'd say more...complicated maybe?

And is it Pushing Daisies? I liked them too. :)

[(Anonymous)]

Ah, fair enough. Although the whole alive-dead-alive-again situation is pretty surreal as it is!

Yes, and they've been my otp for the longest time. :D
