ALL MY HIMYM FEELS IN A POST.

This photo is not mine, you can download it here.

Okay. I rarely post stuff online but since, the show of my life ended yesterday, here goes my shitty feelings with occasional grammatical errors:

I am assuming that majority of you have seen the finale, and I didn't want to be an ass and post spoilers to those who haven't seen it yet last night. So now, I am resorting to social media so I can rant all my feelings away even though no one would really give a single fuck. The finale might be a little bit off for me, I don't know, maybe, I expected too much, maybe, I wasn't ready for it to end, maybe, it wasn't the ending I have hoped for. Nevertheless, it is what it is and I can't change that, but still, I have a lot of reservations for the finale. And dear reader, please bear with me as I bore you with these points I listed while washing the dishes:

1. Lily and Marshall. "At least Marshall and Lily got a happy ending" That is one of the things I hated about the finale. It's not 'Marshall and Lily got their happy ending', it's 'Marshall and Lily being a recurring character in the finale'. Think about it, aside from baby no. 3 and Marshall's new job, did they give Marshall and Lily something to do for the finale? No. They didn't. They were just there, talking to Barney, to Robin, or to Ted. Their ending wasn't fucked up, because they didn't even had a part in the ending to begin with! Their plot line ended with the Great Italian Feud between the two. See, this is why this part is so short. :))

2. Barney and Robin. Yes, I'd be lying if I say that I wasn't rooting for this two the whole time I watched this show. Maybe that's the thing, I rarely rooted for TedRobin (Sorry:))) All through out the show, I've seen Barney as a forced-to-reckon-with friend who you just deal with because he entertains you, even though you really wouldn't be friends with him at all, given a choice. Anyway, as the show moved forward we've seen Barney grow up as he meet his father, deal with relationships (Nora, Quinn, ROBIN) and stuff like that. So yes, after one whole season for Barnman and Robin's wedding, they just ended up divorced in less than 20 minutes. Shit CB and CT what were you thinking? Barney sacrificed his life, so Robin wouldn't have to sacrifice hers. He traveled with her, made the most-legendary-way-to-propose-to-a girl proposal also known as The Robin in the playbook, but most importantly, accepted her wholly even though she can't have kids, and he wanted them. Remember when Loretta and Barney had that argument? Barney: Mom, I'm not marrying some future possibility of starting a family. I'm marrying a girl. Who means more to me than kids. Or my career. Or even the Lambor-cuzzi, patent pending. So please, be nice to her. Also, what is up with that 'oh my god, surprise guys, I'm a dad now, I really didn't want to be, but now I do, so I'm going to change dramatically fast' scene? Acting wise, that scene was really good, and I guess it can happen in real life, but, like everything else in the finale, that was batshit fast and crazy. Now, lets move on to my ex-favorite character next to Barney Stinson. Robin. Barney once said, and I quote, "No one says who's your daddy to Robin Scherbatsky.". Remember when Robin was lovable? That news anchor who couldn't get a good news stint, that friend who chuckles every time she tells a lie, that daughter who had no choice but to be strong because she had a truck load of daddy issues? That is Robin Scherbatsky for me. 50% relatable, 50% awesome-r version of a lot of people I know. Well, at least before the finale. god, finale you made me hate Robin so much, for a second there I thought she was the antagonist, or maybe she's a Lannister or something. You see, although very awesome, Robin was always a career woman, remember when Ted said this to her because she chose Don over a job? Ted: Think about all of us five years ago when we first met you. Marshall and Lily were just boyfriend and girlfriend. Now they're married and thinking about kids. And Barney? Barney was never gonna commit to anyone ever. And last year, he fell in love. And me? I was chasing some girl I was convinced was "The One". "Now she's one of my closest friends". And you? Five years ago, you never would have chosen love over your career, but today you did. Robin: Looks like I'm getting dumber. Ted: No, just more courageous. Look, we've all been searching for The Five Doppelgangers, right? Robin: Mm.(muttering) Ted: But eventually, over time, we all become our own doppelgangers. You know, these these completely different people who just happen to look like us. "Five Years Ago Robin"? That girl, she was pretty great. But Doppelganger Robin? She's amazing. Well, that's a lame, finale, that's just lame. Apparently, according to the finale, Robin is still that girl who chooses her job more than anything else, but can't suck up the fact that she screwed up whenever she sees her exes. Remember that Barney-Nora reconciliation scene and how she pushed Barney into it and pulled him out of it the moment she saw it going well? Well, that's also the case with Ted, seeing Ted happy with Tracy made her realize (again) that shit, I want to be with Ted like for the nth time. Robin grew selfish in a span of 44 minutes, all of a sudden she wants what she can't have. I mean okay, I can try to accept TedRobin, but god, here are the arguments I hated regarding the TedRobin plot: A. if you tell me that HIMYM-is-not-about-the-destination-but-the-journey argument, I solemnly swear to stick a knife down your throat (Sorry, a lot of GoT is not doing well in my sanity and attitude area:))) The writers should've at least had the decency to discuss TedRobin further and not wrap things up three minutes before it ended. What is this, a basketball game, writers? B. Ted is Robin's first love. Really now? If this is true then I'd be terrified knowing that I'd end up with either Aaron Carter, or that boy in my class when I was 12 who looks really creepy nowadays. First love never dies. Yes. Yes, apparently, first love is like a cockroach that never dies even if you hit it with an awful amount of stuff, and yes, first season love never dies, like Ross and Rachel. But shit, this is not Friends, this is How I Met Your Mother you guys. C. TedRobin is a couple that pushes reality. Okay. All this time, Barney and Robin was a fantasy. It will never work out because a nine year love that died a lot of times during its course, is apparently eternal and is apparently the type of love that pushes for motherfacking reality. D. The ending was filmed from the start of season one so that happened. Okay, I'm sorry to think for a second (or in my case, 9 years) that the crew of HIMYM is a bunch of professionals. The crew was even nominated for an Emmy award, yet they didn't have the power to have a change of heart? If it had to end that way because all this time it was TedRobin all along, WHY MUST IT ALL BE IN THREE MINUTES? You had the entire season 9 for crying out loud. E. Let us not forget, this. Penny: Let's look at the facts here. You made us sit down and listen to this story about how you met Mom, yet Mom's hardly in the story. No. This is a story about how you're totally in love with Aunt Robin. And you're thinking of asking her out, and you want to know if we're okay with it. Okay children, you got me, this wasn't really about your mother at all, this was about Aunt Robin. Everything is about Aunt Robin. Don't you dare point out to me that journey-destination argument again, and that, even though mother/Tracy was really the title role in the whole show, it wasn't really about her. YES. I CAN LIVE WITH YOUR POINT. It wasn't about the mother, but it's certainly not about Aunt Robin either. I watched the show for years, because I thought of it as a show about five friends and how they go through life everyday like normal people with the hint of random (sometimes unrealistic) drama. It was not just about Aunt Robin, it was about Uncle Marshall and Aunt Lily, Aunt Robin, Uncle Barney and Dad. So I guess, if it was about the five of them, judging from the Penny's argument that you should date the one you talk about all the time, then I guess Ted should've turned out to be a follower of polyamory and dated Marshall, Lily, Barney, and Robin altogether.

Seeing how TedRobin ended up together makes me doubt a lot of things, I don't even know if I need to go to rehab or something. But remember this, nothing was ever enough for Robin, what makes you think a second chance with Ted will patch it all out. Oh let's wait another nine years, they'd end up together again for sure. Haha. 3. Ted and Tracy. Ohmygod, where do I start. I cannot even. Ugh. I was rooting for them the whole time, because rooting for title roles rarely goes bad, not unless you watch Game of Thrones or something. Okay. (Sorry, going bipolar is really my style:))) The mother dying was the least of my problems. Of course, it would've been better if she was still alive and she'd tell them to have dinner because Ted is going classic Schmosby again, or maybe, she'd also pull a chair and join him, as she go classic Schmcconnell or whatever, and they would both bore Penny and Luke together. But people die. I can deal with plot twists, I survived the Time of the Doctor and the Red Wedding for crying out loud! But this? I cannot. I cannot seem to comprehend kids, this is how I met your mother, oohh wait let's go find Robin and give her the Blue French Horn. The mother's last scene was her death scene. Sure, Ted needed to move on, but god, not even a mourning period? That mourning period was not just for Ted, it was for all the fans. I waited for nine years to meet the mother, then I suddenly get to meet her for 20 minutes then voila she dies! Cheers! TedRobin could've ended up together for all I care, but I wanted my mourning period. I wanted to feel that the mother has been dead for six years so move on Ted, but instead it was just served in a one liner I had to hear all of a sudden. No fuck was given, not a single one at all.

Also, what happened to this? Ted: Hi, I'm Ted Mosby. In exactly 45 days from now, you and I are gonna meet and are gonna fall in love, and we're gonna get married and we're gonna have two kids. We're gonna love them and each other so much. All that is 45 days away, but I'm here now I guess because ... I want this extra 45 days with you. I want each one of them - and if I can't have them, I'll take the 45 seconds before your boyfriend shows up and punches me in the face, because ... I love you. I'm always gonna love you to the end of my days, and beyond. You'll see. Was I expecting too much? I don't think so. Season nine pretty much wrapped things up already, especially the Gary Blauman episode and The End of the Aisle episode. Those episodes were gold. All I needed was the mother's closing and why the fuck Ted decided to share how he met their mother for nine years. That was all. NOTHING MORE NOTHING LESS. All I wanted is for them to tell me that my gang for nine years had a good life whether or not they're still together because that is how things work, you part with some friends, some get divorced, some dies, in short, life sometimes play with you in the most horrible way, but you have to move on and at least try to be happy. I was even okay with the thought of the six of them hugging out at MacLarens for 44 minutes before they part ways and say that it was the best nine years. But damn, CB and CT, you had to fuck it all up. My friends even compared it to the Gossip Girl finale, worst part is, at least we knew all along that Gossip Girl was bound to be in flames (Sorry, GG fans:))). The finale was so rushed, I got annoyed at the part wherein the years kept changing from 2013, to 2015, to 2016, and whatnot. I know HIMYM was pushing for reality in a way, but damn son! I watch shows because I'm too bored with my own reality. (See, I live in a boring life wherein I can finish shows in a day:))) I wasn’t always the biggest Ted fan he had his douche-y moments, but I at least wanted the best for Ted, and not just settle for second best because the first died. It could've been a story of mother's untimely death, it could've taught us to move on, because this show was always big on moving on, god hypocrites. How I Met Your Mother might have had broken my heart if it ended a few seasons ago, when the TedRobin train was still there, but seeing how I moved on from that era, it pains me to find Ted going back to scratch. Remember when everyone was all up in their ass saying that they wanted HIMYM to end because it got more and more boring? I wanted to pull a The-Lannisters-Send-Their-Regards on them so bad, but dear god, I don't know what to feel anymore, I felt cheated. It was such a letdown. It's as if the art of the show was compromised for money and ratings. Until now, I still can't seem to possess the ability of watching my daily dose of TV. WHICH IS A BIG DEAL BECAUSE I'M A LOSER WHO DOESN'T HAVE A LIFE OUTSIDE 720p SHOWS (DAMMIT SHOULD'VE GOTTEN OUT MORE OFTEN:))). Nevertheless, I should be better than Ted. (Haha. Ted, I'm better than you:))) I must move on, finale or no finale, whether people hated it or loved it the way I did. How I Met Your Mother is the show of my generation. It's a story of how my present, might someday be my past, and how someday I can tell stories about the shitty things I am going through today, and how it will eventually lead up to a 'better' situation in the future. And that my friends, dare I say, is an ambitious series with that reason alone, it is (Sorry for saying this:))) deeper than Friends or The Big Bang Theory or whatever is/was there in TV. People might disagree with me, I wouldn't really care, but I love this show, even when a lot of people were saying that it was dragging already because the jokes were too personal. I didn't care. I stayed because I believed. Whatever happened in The Last Forever episode, still, I will never forget that I grew up with this show and say what you want to say, but I will forever be proud to be a part of this fandom.
