(Anonymous) 2017-03-31 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)Yeah, I think it may just be the stuff you're watching. Like, if we talk about Castle, Bones, and Lucifer, then I totally understand what you're saying, and agree. They're all extremely obvious from the start and feel like they're built to a template. And when you're describing the story you feel like you've seen a million times, those are the sorts of het ships which come to mind.
But the reason I included examples in my first comment was specifically because those examples are the epitome of variety. And they really don't fit that template at all. There is literally NOTHING that they all have in common except that they're all het and they're all canon. And even then, Mulder and Scully weren't supposed to be canon and didn't start being written as canon until five years in. And John Connor/Cameron were never officially canon but comments from the creator make it seem like they were definitely moving in that direction in some capacity. So actually, the only thing my examples have in common is that they're all het.
I mean, there's actually a lot more variety in the het pairings I like than there is in the slash pairings I like. *shrugs*
YMMV, I guess.

(Anonymous) 2017-04-01 01:49 am (UTC)(link)Again, not sure you'll see this but...
Castle/Bones/Lucifer is exactly the type of thing I'm talking about, that's super obvious from the beginning and just really predictable and boring (to me, anyway). Like I said, I don't know what those other pairings you mentioned are from, but I should probably look into them. It sounds like I definitely need to branch out, tv-wise.
