Idk if the image choice is intentional or just an unfortunate coincidence but no matter how hard you ship House/Wilson, both are very clearly shown to be heterosexual in canon.

[(Anonymous)]

But a lot of the other examples on that page aren't.

[kamino_neko]

That's the actual Heterosexual Life Partners trope page. It's meant to illustrate the trope of 'these two aren't a couple, but can be mistaken for one'.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah I got that. But the secret is about ships that aren’t like House and Wilson so it’s weird that they didn’t crop the image or use literally any other artwork.

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, both are clearly shown to have relationships with women. At least one ep does imply House is bisexual.

[(Anonymous)]

Try again. I’m a hardcore House/Wilson shipper and they’re both explicitly heterosexual in canon.

[(Anonymous)]

yeah, keep telling yourself that.

[(Anonymous)]

lol this is making me miss the fandom and the ship wars tbh

[(Anonymous)]

Do you know how TV tropes works? Just because the cover image is a correct example doesnt mean there aren't a lot of trope examples further down the site that fit with the secret.

Secret maker (but not the OP) here...

This is a comment secret, so the OP didn't choose this specific image, I did. I just screencapped the TVTropes page for "heterosexual life partners" so as to include a brief explanation of the trope as context for the secret. It wasn't meant to suggest that the characters pictured are a good choice for the trope - I'm not familiar enough with the fandom or the pairing, so I didn't know either way.

It wasn't meant to be a personal slight of any kind.

Cheers,

a secret maker

Secret comment OP here - thank you for making this secret. I actually don't think it's a bad picture choice at all because everyone except that ayrt above understand that this picture is just the screencap and not an isolated ship image.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree. I wish they'd change it to Platonic Life Partners. I see that used frequently already in fandom and real life.

[(Anonymous)]

I tried to upvote this comment.

So right. Plus, that's not gender-reliant. There are plenty of examples of people of different genders who are platonic life partners.

[(Anonymous)]

Different Anon here but, I always know when I've spent too much time on reddit when I try and up or downvote comments here XD

[(Anonymous)]

the trope name comes from the movie Dogma where Jay describes Silent Bob as his 'heterosexual life partner' and Bob nods emphatically.

[(Anonymous)]

I call my best friend my hetero life partner as a joke reference to this movie. We are both queer women.

[(Anonymous)]

Shhhhh pipe down with logic and facts. They’re not welcome here!

Platonic Life Partners are a related but separate trope.

nayrt

[(Anonymous)]

Honestly, I always thought the distinction between these two was fake. I should bring them to TRS, probably maybe. (I am probably not going to bring them to TRS, that's so much work...)

[(Anonymous)]

So people are basically sorting their fandoms under an incorrect trope on occasion?

[akacat]

Right? And I’ve never heard “heterosexual life partners” irl, while I’ve heard “platonic life partners” fairly often.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, that was my immediate thought, too. I look at Heterosexual Life Partners and I think about my parents, for instance

[(Anonymous)]

I love that very straight episode where House proposes to marry Wilson.

[(Anonymous)]

hehehehehe
"keep telling yourself that" anon here
