thinking about how how your mother met me is all about tracy living with her grief over her boyfriend’s death and how she learned how to love again and that the whole series’ meta is about ted living with his grief over his wife’s death replaying those years where she was still alive even though they hadn’t met yet and him learning how to move on and love again in the finale

#himym #is about how you can find love over and over again and love isn’t a person it’s a feeling #it’s something tracy learnt over the course of. well. season nine let’s be real. and it’s something we see her trying to lead ted to in #the future scenes bc she loves him and wants to prepare him for that grief bc she went through it before #or maybe this is a very isolated and biased viewpoint based on the fact i haven’t seen himym since 2015ish #and i just re-watched the wedding bride and vesuvius back to back bc lol jed mosley ted deserves it but he doesn’t #and like in the wedding bride we see how ted is struggling after bejng left at the alter and how he decides to move on and love again #(and then he’s a dick to the girl he’s dating in the ending scene because ted’s a douche)#(no wait actually i’m not done yet ted reveals to the girl he’s jed mosely in a big dramatic public declaration of Like (which ngl is a dic #k move bc it puts a lot of pressure on the recipient and is interrupting everybody else’s movie experience) (big moves are unfortunately te #d’s mo and ngl it irks me a lot like okay change of subject don’t get me wrong tony was wrong to make the movie #but from stella’s perspective jed mosely might not be too off the mark??? a lot of it is twisted yes. but like ted was very uhhhhh pushy ab #out their relationship and it’s cute and all but was it really what stella wanted or was it what ted wanted and stella found him charming e #nough to go along with it #anyway i’m off topic what was i on about? Right ted screwed over the girl he was dating #he says he’s the antagonist of her favourite movie and she does some mature rational thinking and comes to the conclusion the movie’s proba #bly inaccurate and offers to help him through his trauma at being left at the alter which is incredibly cool of her #only for ted to balk at the fact she too has been left at the alter??????#and that she has gambling issues which is like yeah a bit of a problem but not enough to kick them out of your apartment like fuck ted fr #jed mosely is accurate it’s all of the worst of ted and none of the good i’m way off topic this was a positive post #right yeah so i jump from that episode to vesuvius bc that’s where wedding bride 2 is #and the whole episode is bookended by tracy and ted telling this story to each other because they know it off by heart and ngl i would have #killed to have tracy’s pre-ted years span a whole season #and how at the end they get all emotional because tracy’s ill and they know it and she holds his hand and begs him not to live in his stori #es and idk just. the entire show is ted living in his stories it’s him replaying his entire life out #dragging out the moments where tracy is still alive even if those moments were him offering to make a girl pancakes while barney shouts #fuck him fuck him until he gets escorted out by security #even if those moments are him sleeping with somebody else or being a total jerk because while he’s recalling those moments somewhere in thi #s nostalgic memory of 2000s nyc tracy is hanging out with her own friends and doing her own things with her yellow umbrella #and then in the last episode his kids who were written and recorded in season one are like ‘dude mum doesn’t matter this story is about how
