I've never understood calling Creddie boring or predictable. Both are predictable. I saw Seddie coming at you like a train from Season 1 - love/hate, very obvious. In fact Creddie would have shocked me more. Boring...I don't find Creddie to have much shock to it, electricity as I do Seddie, which is part of why I don't ship it, but I don't think a calm, sweet couple that isn't always fighting and coming together in *literally* explosive ways is a bad thing.

Every ship has something about it that its shippers find exciting and dramatic. I ship Amy/Rory from Doctor Who which is probably the safest ship I ship. Barring one manga, but even then the guy was like "Arghh, get away from me! I have issues and killed your mom!" And then the other one, they were best friends since childhood but at least she hit him with a wrench now and then...The point is Amy and Rory don't have anything very combative or unpredictable about them. They started the show dating and less than hour later were engaged and then married by the end of the season...now they have a daughter, though that's not going very well...And they've been best friends since they were little. They love each other and support each other and have an easy, safe dynamic and will probably end up living in a small town with a white picket fence around their house and asking each other "how was work?" with all the genuine care in the world when they're done running around the universe with their grown daughter trying to save her when she's still an infant....the only real problem they had was Amy running off the night before their wedding and that was resolved pretty quickly in a somewhat forced concept that made a big point about the "boring, plain guy" verses the "exciting, dangerous one" which I'd rather of not have happened because, meh, apparently committing suicide on yourself and your possibly unborn child in the face of your husband's death is a big romantic gesture >_<

The point is Amy and the Doctor would be the more unpredictable, dangerous, unexpected, exciting pairing here.

But Amy and Rory, they still have excitement in them, even if they're not fighting and are just acting like a happy married couple most of the time. See...he died, and was erased from time, and she forgot him, and then he came back as a plastic Roman conjured up from her subconscious and she remembered him just as he was forced to kill her and then he guarded her in a box for nearly 2,000 years knowing he'd be conscious the whole time....

and Freddie saved Carly from a taco truck, so there you go.
