I watched How I Met Your Mother during it's initial run. I (like just about everyone else) hated the way it ended. I was left feeling like the writers had shoehorned in so many plot twists in that last episode, just so the story could reach an ending that had been decided a few years before.

A few weeks ago I was feeling low and wanted to watch something that would make me laugh so, for the first time since it ended, I turned on HIMYM.

When it aired I thought the Robin ending was shoved in but then I got to season 6 and there are hints everywhere - and honestly that makes me even madder.

Ted was out there looking for his One, and it wasn't Robin. None of their life goals align. To have them have be friends who reconnected later in life is one thing. Having Robin be the woman Ted was always supposed to end up with turns The Mother into little more than a place holder - the woman who will give Ted kids and help raise them until they are just old enough to be "cool" and conveniently die so Robin can step back in.

(I have been trying so hard to put aside my Barney/Robin shipper glasses this time but man, did those two work together.)

Having Robin be endgame did such a disservice to Ted, Robin, The Mother, and the viewers.

tumblr is wack because it’s like 90% of what i used to follow hasn’t been active in almost a decade and then there are my two friends from my hometown that are still absolutely devoted to posting here and i love it

NEWS FLASH!

Just saying you love Jesus all the time does NOT redeem the fact that you're a massive twat.

Thank you.
