Okay, fine. It's about you.

Caught all the way up on HIMYF today and I can’t even put into words how BADLY I need Charlie and Val and Jesse and Sophie to figure things out!!

[marvelousgeeks]

How I Met Your Father’s two-part season finale is a trope-filled blast from start to finish, despite the first part going to unnecessary lengths to prove why Jesse’s new girlfriend, Parker is toxic. They’re naturally wrong, but these scenes continue to emphasize that the friendship brimming in this show is still its strength. As much as the story is about the father’s identity, the platonic relationships here matter significantly more. Unlike its predecessor, it doesn’t matter who ends up with whom as long as the progressions happen in a way that doesn’t undermine years of development.

Still, for now, How I Met Your Father focuses on telling Sophie and Jesse’s story while it pushes viewers to understand that this relationship deserves a fair chance to blossom. Where one steady arc ends, another begins, and a likely one-time thing leads to the kind of surprise ending that elicits kicking feet up and screaming out of pure joy. How I Met Your Father’s Season 2 finale might just be one of the best episodes yet when it comes to bringing friendships to the forefront.

¿Y ahora, quién es el padre? 

La cancelación de la serie deja muchos misterios sin resolver. Algunos de ellos incluyen: ¿Qué llevó a Charlie a cambiar de opinión sobre no tener hijos? ¿Cómo Sophie llegó a tener la pintura de Jesse? Pero el más importante es, ¿quién es el padre? Antes de que se emitiera la segunda temporada, uno de los guionistas, Dan Levy, reveló que Sid era el padre. La historia de este tío podría haber sido un episodio de "How I Met Your Father"; trabajó en la producción de la serie, lo despidieron y luego reveló quién era el padre en una sitcom. Pero, ¿tiene sentido que Sid sea el padre? 

La teoría de que Sid era el padre se basaba en el hecho de que nunca vemos al hijo en pantalla, y la razón es obvia: si lo viéramos, sabríamos quién es el padre (por su color de piel). Otra “pista” de la serie es que cuando Sophie del futuro dice “y así es cómo conocí a tu padre”, la cámara apunta a Sid. Sin embargo, la serie nunca tuvo tiempo de desarrollar la relación entre Sid y Sophie. ¿Había química? Sí, pero solo eso. La "revelación" del guionista no tuvo un gran impacto. Algunos fanáticos la interpretaron como una confirmación de sus teorías, mientras que otros pensaron que Levy estaba bromeando. No obstante, es posible que Levy estuviera diciendo la verdad. Una foto al final de la segunda temporada revela que Charlie, quien no quería tener hijos, tiene un hijo con Valentina, por lo que es fácil deducir que "el padre" estaba entre Jesse y Sid. Pero Jesse parece una opción demasiado segura y un final demasiado cercano al criticado final de "How I Met Your Mother", por lo que Sid parece la opción más "sorprendente". Más teniendo en cuenta que es el mejor amigo de Jesse quien es el Ted para el Robin de Sophie. 

De manera inadvertida, los productores cometieron el mismo error que su predecesora. Para aquellos que no lo saben, el final de la serie original fue grabado en las primeras temporadas, por eso, los “kids” no envejecen. Es decir, ya sabían de antemano que, independientemente de quién fuera la madre, ella moriría y Ted buscaría a Robin. Y nuevamente, "How I Met Your Father" cometió el mismo error: ya sabían quién era el padre, pero esta vez no tuvieron tiempo para desarrollar adecuadamente la historia.

HIMYF: Y así, niños, así fue como cancelaron #HowImetyoutFather

Cassandra Clare LOVES the grew-up-too-soon x babied-all-their-life trope

Clary was sheltered up until the events of TCOB meanwhile Jace was getting raised by Valentine

Kit was forced to grow up quickly while Ty was babied by Julian and his family

Sophie was cast out onto the streets while Gideon had a fairly nice upbringing (besides his dad turning into a worm but let's face it he deserved it)

Lucie was raised as the daughter of one of the wealthiest Shadowhunter families while Jesse literally died as a kid

And do I even need to explain Thomas and Alastair...

the cancellation of 'how i met your father' is actually a much greater loss for television than i'm sure most people are going to give it credit for.

for starters, this show marked a big part of bringing back longer-format sitcoms, where seasons lasted 24 episodes and the idea was to follow the characters through several years of their lives, marking major life milestones, etc. it leaned into the comedy, both physical and witty, and allowed its audience the pleasure of following an assorted group of random but very close friends through shenanigans. it had the simple joy of good old fun.

it also seemed like a great example of very casual but genuine representation & diversity. one thing i loved about the show was how there was poc representation & lgbtq+ representation, but that wasn't the only thing those characters were there for. sid was a south asian man, but it didn't define him - even without that he would've been a fleshed out and interesting character. ellen was an east asian lesbian, and the same applied for her. in fact, her journey of self-love was an important part of her story, and yet it was not at all related to either aspect of her identity. (i know they weren't the only examples, but you get it.)

minorities were allowed to exist as humans, without existing only as minorities, which is a box many shows put their characters in, and it was nice to see it done well for a change. yes, it could have had even more diversity, but the point very much still stands, including in the fact that we never saw sophie's son because he could have been any race (a welcomed progression from the characteristic 00s all-white himym cast).

i know lots of people gave the 1st season a shot and didn't come back for the 2nd, because they found it forced and cringey and various other things.

but in s2 the writing and characters found their feet - the jokes were funnier, the stories were more enjoyable, the characters were more lovable, and it was clear that with time the show had grown into itself.

and it's a shame, for himyf, its fans & the sitcom genre as a whole, that this show will never be allowed any more time, never be afforded the opportunity, to keep growing, and conclude all those stories they set up.

HOW I MET YOUR FATHER | 2.03

[sandrasoapbox]

I haven't been on Tumblr in weeks and yet I found people who also theorized that Sid is the father from HIMYF.

I FOUND MY PEOPLE!!

EDIT: this is my tinfoil hat theory, but I think the son share Sid's mannerisms. Am I crazy?!

Why am i always more interested in the side ships than the main ones???

Sid and Sophie chatting and smiling at the bar in the background during the Ellen/Rachel conversation was the cutest thing 🥰

One reason I can't root for Sophie and Jesse is that Jesse is always so quick to move on to another girl. When Sophie didn't say I love you back he moved on to Meredith, and in the finale he left Parker alone (when he was about to move in with her) and got with Sophie. Once is a coincidence, twice is a pattern.

I was in an unhinged mood so I AI-generated what Sophie’s kid would look like with each major father candidate

Sid as the father - this is a perfect SidSophie mix and I’m not saying this because Sid is my #1 candidate (also…bro kinda resembles tennis player Carlos Alcaraz)

Jesse as the father - TBH, I barely see a trace of Jesse

Ian as the father - I think this was a pretty 50-50 mix of Sophie and Ian

Drew as the father - if Jesse is barely seen in his AI son, then this is the one where there’s not even a HINT of Drew

I opted Charlie out since it’s been confirmed he’s out of the running. Also, it was frustrating to generate a kid for SidSophie and SidIan because AI IS RACIST. So yeah while this was for IJBOL, a reminder to continue advocating for ethical AI use and regulations on the side of creatives!!

But yeah. Back to HIMYF… I’m so sad the show got cancelled.
