So I read something that said Barney never did anything for Robin (like Ted did) and there for they should not have been endgame

WELL THAT IS ENTIRELY FALSE

  • Barney was the one that went to find her a job when she almost got deported
  • He set up candles and roses in her apartment for her
  • He gave up his apartment for her
  • He tackled Ted so that Robin would win the race
  • He sent her and Don out on a romantic date after their breakup
  • He declared his love for her in the middle of a dessert restaurant
  • He set up a whole elaborate plan to propose to her at her favorite spot in the world
  • He bought her puppies
  • punched Brad at the hockey game
  • He accepted her when she could not have kids even though his mom said she wanted grand kids
  •  HE BROUGHT CANADA TO HER LIKE SERIOUSLY
  • whenever she was upset he would try and make her laugh or smile

feel free to add to that list because I wrote it in two minutes after reading that

The writers did many stupid things to try and “prove” that Ted was a better match for Robin than Barney was, but the whole “Robin 101″ thing really took it to another level.

For starters, the mere concept that Ted was the perfect boyfriend, who knew and appreciated everything about Robin is laughable. He didn’t fall in love with who she was as a person, he fell in love with the idea of marrying her someday and never moved on from it. And when they were dating, Robin had to hide things about herself to avoid conflict, like her love of guns and cigars - Barney was the one who knew about it and knew it would bother Ted. And i won’t even get into how embarrassing it was that Ted thought he knew what she liked in bed when the episode itself said he was full of shit + the fact that Robin wasn’t even that attracted to him is literally a recurring joke.

And the whole “Barney doesn’t give her emotional support like Ted did” is insulting. One of the many hints that Barney and Robin had a deep bond was the fact that he would often support her while avoiding doing the same for the others. And for God’s sake, Barney was the one who was there with her when she gave her dogs away - because Ted asked her to.

(I won’t get into how out of character it was for Robin to be jealous of stuff Ted got from his exes, and there’s a HUGE difference between getting rid of material things and getting rid of your PETS)

Somebody really needs to explain to these writers that no amount of retcon will make a bad pairing turn into a good one - it will just show how wrong they are for each other.

what is love, if not grief persevering / a reflection

“i thought [my sister] meant something to you.” / “she did. and still does.” 
“you should have seen him in person. anakin skywalker–he was my master.” 
“this ship is going down, and those soldiers, my brothers, are willing to die and take you and me along with them.” 
“there is still good in him.” 
“…and he was a good friend.”

ahsoka: i’ve learned that the same word can mean different things from different people 

ahsoka: for example, when master kenobi tells me he has things under control, he usually has things under control 

ahsoka, getting out the fire extinguisher: but when master skywalker tells me has things under control, what he usually means is that he wants master kenobi to think he has things under control

Anakin: *sneaking through the window at 2am*

Obi-Wan, spinning around in his chair and flicking on the light: So. Care to tell me where you were?

Anakin, panicked: I-I was out training with Ahsoka.

Ahsoka, spinning around in her own chair: Wanna try again?
