Barney, you're gonna have to stop screwing around if you wanna be Robin's boyfriend.

list of my favourite otps → [11/∞] barney stinson & robin scherbatsky

I love everything about her, and I'm not a guy who says that lightly. I am a guy who has faked love his entire life. I thought love was just something idiots thought they felt, but this woman has a hold on my heart that I could not break if I wanted too. And there have been times that I wanted to. It has been overwhelming, and humbling, and even painful, at times. But I could not stop loving her any more than I could stop breathing. I am hopelessly, irretrievably in love with her. More than she knows.

when i picture barty and lily as barney and robin everything comes together like im a phd student who just found the perfect topic for their thesis

[lukreziaaa]

“Kids, I won’t lie, that was a long weekend. More ups and downs that I can count. It was a twisting, turning road that led to the end of the aisle, and not everything along the way was perfect.

To be honest, not everything to follow would be perfect either. But what is? Here’s the secret, kids: none of us can bow to be perfect. In the end, all we can do is promise to love each other with everything we’ve got.

Because love’s the best thing we do. And on that lovely spring evening, that’s exactly what Barney and Robin vowed to each other.

And it was legendary.”

why is ted mosby so underrated???? fanfics on him are literally nowhere...

[silverplatypus1]

Hiya it's been a hot min with life and everything but quick question...

[alphawolfice1989]

Shouldn't we hold out for the person who doesn't just tolerate our little quirks but, actually, kinda likes them?" Ted Mosby

[mecwmellc]

@cagedpotential sent ""You can't use fireworks to cook!" / this is VERY barney x lily coded"

barney held his hand out to lily, something he had been doing quite often today as he explained his ideas to her. "lily, lily. it's fine, okay? this will make things go way faster, i promise. who has hours to cook a turkey?" he asked. "i mean, what could go wrong?" he knew that he was teasing her, but that was the fun of it.

Ding dong.

The five friends turn to face the sudden disturbance, all with perplexed expressions written across their faces.

“Did someone order pizza?” Ted questions.

Everyone shakes their head as Ted frowns, his eyebrows creasing in befuddlement. After much hesitation, he stands up from the couch and unlocks the door. That was when the mystery person had revealed their presence, causing Ted’s eyes to widen at the sight of someone he thought he’d never see.

“Y/N?” He lets out a light chuckle, a smile forming on his face.

“Hey, Ted.”

———

“Y/N, what are you doing here?”

“Well, I was in the city, and I thought, ‘hey, why not go visit my brother?’ I mean, how long has it been since we’ve seen each other in person?”

He nods, the smile on his face only growing in size as they both savoured this moment of reuniting after not having seeing each other for a few, very tiring years.

Ted turns around to spot several pairs of extremely confused eyes glaring upon the two as he snaps himself back to reality.

“Uh, right! Guys, this is Y/N, my sister. Y/N, this is Marshall and Lily — who I’m sure you remember.”

She officially steps into the room to approach the couple as they stand up from the couch with huge grins on their faces.

“Y/N, it’s great to see you again! I haven’t seen you since, like, college,” Marshall says as he wraps her in a hug, Lily following after.

“Yeah, it’s been way too long. Congratulations on the baby, by the way!” She greets as she hugs them back before promptly breaking it.

“Thank you. You know, if you’re sticking around, maybe you can get a chance to meet him?” Lily asks.

“Wouldn’t miss it for the world.”

The three smile at one another once more before Ted gestures towards Robin.

“Robin, this is my sister Y/N. Y/N, this is-“

“-Robin Scherbatsky! It’s nice to finally meet you,” Y/N greets as she reaches for Robin’s hand.

Robin simply smiles before shaking hers in return. “Yeah, you too.”

“And this is Bar… where’s Barney?”

Everyone scans around the room, searching for their missing friend.

“Well, while you guys look for your mystery friend, uh, could I use your bathroom? The cab ride here lasted longer than I expected.”

Ted nods. “Yeah, ‘course. The bathroom’s just that way.” He points to a door in the near distance.

“Thanks.”

Y/N rushes her way to the direction where Ted pointed towards, spotting the door and reaching for the handle, only for it to be opened by someone else on the other side.

“Ted, you’re toilet’s clogged agai-“

That was when Y/N’s eyes trailed to connect with Barney’s, a sudden moment of déjà vu hit them both where it hurt the most.

Her face instantly drops in realization, everything surrounding them seeming to fade into view, blurring itself out of the picture. Her eyes fixated on the man, who was glaring back at her dumbfounded expressions. “Y/N, you’re…”

Ted eyes the two suspisciously, already able to tell that a secret was silently being shared between his sister and his (second) best friend.

That was when Y/N subtly shakes her head, going unnoticed by everyone else in the room except for the man in front of her.

“…just as gorgeous as I pictured in my head! I knew Ted had a hot sister,” he exclaims in a cheery tone, earning an eye roll from Ted.

“And that’s why, you don’t just come uninvited to my apartment, because sometimes, I got a creepy guy lounging around.”

Y/N frowns at Ted. “Oh, I’m sorry for wanting to come visit my brother every now and then. Especially when the last text he’s sent me was ‘sorry I forgot your gift for Christmas.’”

“That’s my way of saying that I love you very very much.”

“Yeah yeah, whatever. I’ll be right back.”

Barney and Y/N’s eyes linger on one another for a seemingly forever-lasting moment before he steps out of the way, letting her walk past him and close the door behind them.

As Barney walks over to sit back on the couch, Ted approaches him, his steps suddenly deafening and cold.

“Hey, you better not be trying any moves on my sister or I swear to God I will individually rip every single suit you’ve ever owned.”

Barney rolls his eyes at Ted’s feeble attempt to make a believeable threat. “I won’t.”

Barney turns to face the bathroom door, holding in a heavy sigh from escaping his lips as his stare lingers into the room. “I promise.”

◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤

A/N: that “I promise” is a callback to when they both promsied that the next time they’d see each other, they’d kiss.

likes and reblogs are vv appreciated.

barney stinson saying “daddy's home” the first time stepping into the bar after his breakup from robin and barney stinson saying “daddy's home” to robin when she asks about his daughter is my roman empire ( i love barney so much it makes me physically sick)

[incorrectquoteshimym]

Marshall: *Running into the room* HEY! HEY!

Lily: *Holding baby Marvin* Shhh, he's sleeping.

Marshall: Oops, Sorry.

Marshall: *Whispering* Barney started another fire.

[263adder]

A Robin x Barney moment I never noticed before. I'm rewatching S8 of How I Met Your Mother and there's a callback to S2E16 "Stuff", when Robin sends her dogs to live with her aunt because of Ted (on a production note, the dogs had to go because Josh Radnor had a severe allergy).

Barney went with her 🥺 He went with her and met her Aunt. All the way back in S2. Her BFF Lily didn't go with her, her BF Ted didn't go, Barney did. I could've melted.

The episode is S8E05 "The Autumn of Break-Ups". A beautiful Tumblrite already made a gifset of it here, I'm so glad someone already did it, thanks @marsinvestigaytions!

[crimsonlovebartylus]

I hesitated on James bc I don't really picture James Barty and Reg being a trio like Ted Marshal and Lily...AND bc Lily is sooo Robin to me, but I don't support the TR ending🤬

Evan as Barney would definitely work ( we just have to figure out Robin again)! but maybe also Wolfstar as BR??? I don't know, but Remus as a teen pop sensation in Whales or something is super hilarious, and Sirius being one just makes sense somehow??

I really hope this isn't bothering you but i just love himym and marauders too much😭😭

EXACTLY. I don't see it so now i'm like back in the drawing board.

I'll insert my rareship with Robin being Edgar Bones or I know some people ship Evan with Emmeline Vance? maybe?

so that leaves Dorcas and Marlene but than the robin x ted section just makes it???????

but wolfstar as barney x robin with the the endgame actually being them. is chef kiss, I laughed at THW THOUGHT OT REMUS NAME BEING REMUS SPARKLE or REMUS MOON 💀

and omg nooo im enjoying these asks
