#anti schmosby

[nickismyspiritanimal]

"Toxic" chaotic bi4bi m/f couples doomed by the narrative that were baited and then pushed aside in favor of a mediocre boring hetero ship

If Ross and Rachel went on that date in the pilot, he def would’ve pulled a Ted Mosby and said ‘I think I’m in love with you.’

I'm checking my mental list of what ships I would consider myself anti.

Here are the ones that come to my mind: Darklina, Reylo, Captain Swan, Outlaw Queen, Dalena, Rilaya, Schmosby and Steggy.

[hydesjackiespuddinpop]

Rachel Green, Robin Scherbatsky, and Penny Teller are the holy trinity of deserved better than to end up with Nice Guys tm

[hydesjackiespuddinpop]

Yeah, cuz who cares if Robin might get sick from the rain? Everything had to go Ted’s way. (Sarcasm)

[hydesjackiespuddinpop]

Damn it! I thought they’d break up!

[hydesjackiespuddinpop]

Ted and Robin are being so annoying

[hydesjackiespuddinpop]

So Ted’s parents are another version of him and Robin

[hydesjackiespuddinpop]

Barney is me about Ted and Robin

[hydesjackiespuddinpop]

Barney and Marshall hating Tobin is my aesthetic

Ted does not truely love robin. At least not in the first few seasons. he was obsessed with her, yet he didn't like anything about who she actually was. They didn't like the same things. He just wants to "fix" her into being a perfect wife for him, but she doesn't need fixing. He literally told her he didn't like how independent she was and wished she was more needy because it made him feel bad. Barney, despite his flaws, likes robin for who she is. He loves that she's independent and likes scotch and guns and basically the same kinda stuff he does. They get along really well. Robin LIKES Barney for who he is. robin felt obligated to be with Ted. It's obvious because after their relationship is over it doesn't take long for her to move on. But with Barney, she stays hung up on him even after their breakup. Ted was pining after the idea of robin while Robin was missing Barney, and he was missing her. she actually liked him, she pursued him on her own. Ted had to spend weeks begging for her to give him a chance. It was just...so annoying to watch Ted try and force robin into the role he wanted for her, meanwhile Robin and Barney were falling into actual love. Even though it wasn't perfect, it was real love. Robin let Barney know who she really was. Robin could be herself around Barney. She could never do that with Ted because he was always critical of her behavior and wanting her to change for him.

Even though Swarkles isn't perfect, they were actually in love. Love is being able to share yourself with someone and have them share themselves with you. Love is passion and longing. Robin never felt or did any of those things with Ted. Anytime she tried to, it was cus she was in a vulnerable position and just needed comfort.

Okay but like, Tracy is literally an angel and they killed her off to force schmosby...
