ETA: I have no idea how Ms Smulders actually reacted to the finale of HIMYM but in my mind, it looked something like this.

YOU ASKED FOR THIS. JUST REMEMBER THAT YOU ASKED FOR THIS.


But I had always envisioned or always hoped that they (Barney and Robin) would end up together when the series came to a wrap

just Robin, on a motorcycle, putting out a cigarette, gettin' on there - Barney on the back... just riding off into the sunset

neil and cobie's reaction to the finale (in faces)

link to that interview

one of my favorite tumblr quotes wrt the finale: There’s really no reason to accuse Barney of being a misogynist or a sociopath now that we know that all of this is being told from the perspective of the man who wanted the woman Barney ended up with (albeit briefly) and was telling the story to passively aggressively get his kids to consent to him pursuing her. Now the whole series plays as Ted trying to make Barney look like a sleaze to prove to his kids how poor aunt Robin didn’t belong with such a dirtbag—thank goodness she can end up in Daddy’s bed instead!


IMMA JUST GONNA PUT THIS HERE INSTEAD OF JUST THE LINK BECAUSE I FIND IT SO VERY IMPORTANT:::






Robin wishes she loved Ted. I mean, that’s the safer bet. He’s safe and reliable, but she just doesn’t love him
