I love how Barney and Robin are together because of Ted and Tracy (Ted made them meet, Tracy basically convinced them to get married), while Ted and Tracy are together because of Barney and Robin (met at their wedding)

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)

im thinking about this headcannon that i saw saying himym should have ended with ROBIN dying and not tracy bc it justifies ted starting the story with meeting her, and it justifies spending so much time on the period of their lives were the friend group ruled. it’s a heartbreaking idea, that ted sits his kids down to tell them about the girl who was the axis of his world for a while, who is one of his nest friends, who they call their aunt, as a way to cope. a way to remember her and share the time in their lives that they mattered most to each other. its the same idea as friends having to end when chandler and monica had a baby, the story about a friend group is over because they have families now, their lives are about more than just friends. the idea that as barney and robin start a family for themselves, ted meets tracy. that he tells his kids he’s going to tell them the story of how he met their mother, but really starts so far back to attribute the fact that he never would’ve met tracy if it weren’t for robin’s important presence in their lives. maybe im just going crazy hoping for any other idea than the real finale like every other fan, but i love this sm.

I love the ending of How I Met Your Mother because I feel like it just encapsulates the whole point of the show. Ted didn't sit down and tell his kids about how he met their mother because it was supposed to be a great love story, but because it showed how throughout the years Ted had been able to grow and adapt to all the heartache and scars he accumulated going through his life. And one of the terrible things that happens to him is losing the love of his life to illness, but he still pushes through and finds love and happiness in the darkest of times.

But I didn't like the ending for a really really long time because I felt like the show was trying to suggest that Robin and Ted were the loves of each other's lives and that they were always meant to end up with each other. But I don't think that's true anymore.

Tracy was the love of Ted's life. Tracy was not a placeholder for Robin. Tracy was Ted's purpose in life. But she died, and he deserved to be able to find love again. Sure, Ted got back with Robin in the end, but if Ted had the chance to still be with Tracy, he would've NEVER in a million years picked Robin over her.

Robin's career was the love of her life. Her career was her purpose in life. But once she got older she had accomplished everything she'd ever wanted in life, and that chapter of her life was over. Sure, Robin got back with Ted in the end, but she would NEVER in a million years pick Ted over her career.

Ted and Robin were each other's second best option after they fulfilled their purposes. They didn't end up together because they were soulmates or the love of each other's lives. They ended up together because they had to find happiness and make the best out of the rest of their lives after their purposes were already fulfilled. Sure, they loved each other and maybe always did, but that doesn't take away from Ted's love with Tracy.

The love of Ted's life was the mother of his children, Tracy. That was his greatest love. Him ending up with Robin doesn't take away from that. Ted is just doing what he always does and makes the best out of a bad situation by finding the good. Ted losing Tracy was devastating, but he had to find how to be happy again after she died. And that was by loving Robin.

Fun fact: Tracy McConnell (The Mother from How I Met Your Mother) dies this year

[crazypinkblueberry]

Ted is telling his children how he met their mother in 2030, and in the last episode they say that the mother died 6 years ago, so she dies (or died) this year.

"Love doesn't make sense! I mean, you can't logic your way into or out of it; love is totally nonsensical. But we have to keep doing it, or else we're lost and love is dead and humanity should just pack it in. Because love is the best thing we do. I know that sounds cheesy, but it's just... true."

Rewatching How I Met Your Mother and I’m in season 9 and I realize the scene where Ted and Tracy are celebrating finally becoming an “old married couple” is actually sad because they both know they’ll never actually get to be an “old” married couple.

The ending for How I Met Your Mother is actually so ass. It enrages me whenever I think about it
