As Barney swirls the whiskey in his glass, he scans the room to hunt for his next unsuspecting prey. In other words, the next woman he was gonna gaslight into having sex with. (💀)

Then, his eyes land on someone across the bar, sitting all alone by herself. Intrigued, he slowly approaches her while coming up with another one of his inane backstories to entice his victim as per usual.

But then, to his surprise, she turns to face him. “Hey, you need to try this.”

Slightly taken aback, Barney stares blankly at the drink in her hands, not expecting her to be the one to initiate conversation. “Are you trying to get me drunk?”

She lightheartedly frowns at his response. “No, I just want you to take a little sip. And no, I promise I didn’t drug it either. Here.” She takes a sip from her glass as proof, as though reading his inner thoughts.

Convinced yet still slightly bewildered, he shrugs. “Alright, fine; gimme.”

She hands him over the drink as he sets his down before promptly taking a sip, his eyes widening at the unfamiliar taste.

“Woah, that’s-“

“I know, right?”

He smiles softly at the grin on her face, seeming to lighten up his mood. “I’m Barney, by the way.” He reaches out a polite hand.

“I’m Y/N, it’s nice to meet you.” She takes his hand in hers and shakes it.

“It’s my pleasure. So, what’s a pretty lady like you sitting all alone in a bar?“

“And if I told you that I was waiting for someone?”

Barney lets out a scoff. “Then you wouldn’t have been wearing that frown on your face earlier.”

Y/N shrugs, knowing that he wasn’t wrong. “Fair enough. You want the honest, boring answer?”

He nods. “Try me.”

“I’m here to blow off some steam. I’ve been trying to find a job for weeks now. Can’t even nail a decent interview.” She chuckles softly, shaking her head to herself. “And what about you? Tall, blond guy in a brooding suit. What’s your reason?”

Barney sighs. “Do you want the honest, not-so-boring answer?”

“Try me.”

He slowly leans in closer, as though he was about to share an important secret. “I was sent as a spy from the future to warn about the upcoming rapture one thousand years from now. And the only way to save the world is-“

“Let me guess, to have sex with you?” she cuts him off, clearly not amused.

Barney blinks his eyes innocently, surprised at her sudden question. “What? Pssh, no,” he says, seemingly appalled. “Do you want to?”

Y/N rolls her eyes at the desperate man. “Okay, I see, so the reason why you’re here is to hit on dumb blondes and gaslight them into having sex with you by using one of your inane backstories?”

“And it seems as though you’re not one of them.”

They smile at each other, both cockily in a way that was playful yet enticing.

“I’m curious, though… does that actually work?”

“Oh hell yeah, and that’s not even one of the craziest ones I’ve used.”

Her eyes widen slightly, now intrigued. “Really?”

Barney nods. “I could tell you more, but we may have to be here for hours.”

Y/N turns around to check the clock on a nearby wall before promptly facing him once more. “I got some time to spare.”

Barney smiles, satisfied with her answer. “That’s what I like to hear.”

He sits on the chair beside hers as he proceeds to tell her more about his desperate ploys.

To them, their conversation had only lasted for a few minutes, but the next thing they knew, the bar was already closing and they had to be personally kicked out by the bar owner for overstaying their welcome.

The two decided to walk around the city late at night, lights flickering past as the moon shone high above, seeming to follow them in their journey.

“Wait, what time is it?”

Barney checks the watch on his wrist, suddenly putting a halt to his movements in surprise. “Woah. It’s almost 2AM.”

She stops to stand beside him, her eyes widening. “Are you serious?”

“Yeah, we just spent like 4 hours talking to each other.”

“Huh.”

“Huh indeed.”

They both take a moment to stare at one another, the silence oddly comforting. When they were together, it was as if nobody else mattered. No one else was sharing the moments they had except for the two.

Y/N purses her lips before speaking up, finally breaking the silence. “Well then, I have to confess something before this night ends.”

He hums, signaling for her to continue.

“I don’t usually let some guy even go near me whenever I’m at a bar, sitting alone grumpily.”

He chuckles lightly.

“But… I actually enjoyed our little date that isn’t a date.”

He smiles, taking a subtle step closer towards her. “Well, I think every date that isn’t a date should end with a good night kiss.”

He leans in to connect their lips, but to his surprise, she leans away.

“Tell me, Barney, do you believe in fate?”

Barney — clearly disappointed — frowns at her sudden interruption. “No, not really.”

She simply smiles at his disgruntled expressions. “Well, I do, and if we’re meant to be, then we’ll see each other again.”

“So am I not getting my good night kiss or…?”

She chuckles at his little pout. “Look, if we ever cross paths again, then you can give it to me. No questions asked.”

“Why can’t I just give it to you now? I promise I’m a great kisser. I got like a hundred different girls who can attest to th-“

She puts a finger over his lips, shutting him up in an instant.

“Be patient. I promise, next time, I won’t make you wait one more second.”

“If there even will be a next time.”

Y/N frowns at him as she removes the finger on his lips, earning an eye roll from him.

“Fine, if you want to play hard to get, then so be it.”

She smiles. “Good.”

“At least let me walk you home. Where’d you say it was you lived again?”

She gives him a knowing look. “Haha, nice try,” she says in a sarcastic tone.

“Can’t blame a guy for trying. But seriously, you sure you’ll be okay? It’s pretty late, and New York is filled with all kinds of creeps.”

Y/N smiles at his worried expressions. “Yeah, I’ll be fine. I don’t live that far from here.”

Barney’s eyes light up, pointing a finger at her. “Aha! So you do live somewhere in this area.”

“I could also be messing with you.”

He rolls his eyes at her once more as she giggles at him.

“Good night, Barney.”

He returns the smile on her face. “Good night, Y/N.”

this isn’t one of my best but I haven’t been posting in a while so… yeah. thanks for reading. x

you ever get so drunk that you end up plotting out a 6+ season story arc for a “How I Met Your Mother” style sitcom starring Sonic the Hedgehog characters?

Because I’ve done it twice now and I’m starting to wonder if the universe is trying to tell me something…

Being Ted's little sister

Author's Note: I wrote this a while ago and even though I probably won't write any HIMYM stuff in the near future, I don't wanna let this headcanons go to waste... So enjoy!

He's always very considerate, thoughtful and understanding. Though he does crack a lot of jokes when you're trying to tell him a story, he knows his limits.

He gives the best advice... Not in fashion, though.

He definitely has a soft spot for you

He never lets you near Barney. Never.

Definitely gives you his jacket when it's cold which you found very odd because he never does that before

If you're having a bad day or if there's something going on with you, he'll know before anyone else notices

And if you are having a bad day, he usually takes you out to your favorite place (either a restaurant or a bar) to cheer you up

You can't wrap your head around the fact that you both used to scream at each other’s faces when you both were teenagers, but now you guys are so caring for each other

Even Marshall and Lily were very confused about how calm and loving you both are now, compared to a few years ago when you guys are still in college

But you both still roast each other very often

If a guy ever breaks your heart, he's not afraid to throw hands (with the help of Marshall, of course)

When you're feeling gloomy or needed a shoulder to cry on, Ted would be the first person to come to mind. Same thing goes to him.

You never realized after all those years, he actually gives you the best hugs. It's always comforting to you.

The presence of him always seems calming to you. It's like you know he can protect you, and he always will.

When it comes to you, he's never hesitant to apologize first

He's the first person to show up when you're sick

Even though you both used to fight and argue a lot when you were younger, now you both realized how important and how you both love each other so much

Since the only Mosby living in New York are you and Ted, he has become the person you trust most

[inmyveinsposts]

Let me present you my aot (aruani) series of one-shots based on "How I met your mother".

Living in the best city in the world in your twenties, with your friends? Nights at the usual bar, finding yourself lost in the future, struggling to find your place in the world, and most of all, navigating through relationships. It's wonderful, terrifying and, extremely, extremely, funny.

This is the story about a group of friends navigating their youth in chaotic and exciting ways as they waste their time at Scout's, their most trusted bar.

Brace yourselves to enjoy their shenanigans.

Main cast:

Armin Arlert: 25. Graduate student at New York University. Future environmental lawyer, according to what he says he will save the ocean, but so far we see him more at the bar than saving the ocean. Hailing from Minnesota, however, he met his roommate at the University of Chicago, Eren Yaeger, and his best friend, Mikasa Ackerman, with whom he came to live in New York. Affable, conciliatory and intelligent, or at least, depending on who you ask, because his friends will tell you all the idiotic things he's capable of, especially after a couple of beers at Scout's. While his friends struggle to find the love of their life, get back their love or get into bed with various people, he just goes with the flow.

Based on Marshall Eriksen.

Annie Leonheart: 27. The new bartender at Scout's and lead singer of the band that plays at the bar on Friday nights. Moved to New York with her band from Scotland, her two best friends, Reiner Braun and Bertholdt Hoover, an engaged couple, yes engaged, while she just goes with the flow. Last member of the group, thanks to Eren. Quiet and aloof, or so they say, others will tell you the crazy things she does at Scout's when her shift is over. Annie will navigate her youth in New York, pursue her dreams, friendships will form and in love she will lose herself.

She is the perfect mix of Robin and Lily.

Eren Yaeger: 25. He works as a comic strip artist in a newspaper in the city, although his dream is to succeed with his own comic. He comes from Chicago, where he met Armin Arlert, his best friend, and Mikasa Ackerman, his great love. His purpose is to find the love of his life, especially after the breakup with Mikasa. Dramatic, idiotic and groundbreaking. He is the cause of reforms in Scout's, especially if he gets together with Jean.

Based on Ted Mosby.

Mikasa Ackerman: 25. She works in a tattoo studio, although her dream is to become a famous artist. Hailing from Chicago, like Eren, and even though she knew him before, they didn't speak until college, thanks to the classes they shared. Thanks to that, the two ended up in a relationship, she met Armin and ended up in New York. When things ended with Eren, she moved out and met Sasha, her current roommate. She is willing to either get over the breakup or get Eren back, whichever comes first.

Based on Robin Scherbatsky.

Jean Kirstein: 27. He works at the biggest bank in New York, although if you ask any of his friends they wouldn't know what he does for a living. Hailing from New Jersey, he works with Connie Springer and thanks to that he met Sasha, Mikasa's roommate, although ironically, Jean met the group at Scout's. Kind of a womanizer, although he respected and somewhat composed for someone that wild. He is known for tearing Scout's apart with Eren and thanks to their rivalry.

Based on Barney Stinson.

Connie Springer: 25. Accountant at Goliath National Bank, the most powerful bank in New York, where he works with Jean. A lifelong Brooklynite, like Sasha Braus, who is his partner in crime. He is Jean's wing man in the search for single women in New York, although truth be told, he is a disastrous wing man. Funny and crazy, he is the menace himself.

Based on Barney Stinson and Marshall Eriksen on season two, when he is single and he is the worst at being Barney's wing man.

Sasha Braus: 26. Kindergarten teacher, although her dream is to be a restaurant critic. Hailing from the same New York City, Brooklyn, just like Connie Springer, her best friend. She is Mikasa's new roommate and Eren's sworn enemy (even though Eren doesn't know) and the one who supports Jean the most by chasing Mikasa, she also forms a dangerous trio together with Connie and Jean. Chaotic and funny, one of Scout's dangers and Levi Ackerman's nightmare.

Based on Lily Aldrin.

Recurring cast:

Levi Ackerman: 37. Distant cousin of Mikasa. Bartender at Scout's. He is so tired of the gang's shit.

Hange/Hanji: 35. Manager of the bar. Loves serving the gang, with their shenanigans they have the time of their life.

Reiner Braun: 27. "Marley's warriors" drummer. Annie's childhood friend, he moved to New York from Scotland with her and his fiancé, with whom he has a dramatic and complicated, yet fun, relationship.

Based on Stuart from "How I met your mother."

Bertholdt Hoover: 28. "Marley's warriors" guitarist and Reiner's fiancé. Calm and relaxed, until Reiner enters the equation.

Based on Claudia from "How I met your mother."

Other character will make appearances:

Pieck Finger.

Hitch Dreyse.

Historia Reis.

Ymir.

The story will mostly focus on Aruani, but there will be one shots focused on other characters. (Not many) Despite being based on "How I Met Your Mother", the stories will mostly be fictional,and as well as, the characters are based on the characters of the series, they will still have their own characteristics.

Summary of the first one shot

After a painful breakup, Eren Yaeger is determined to find the love of his life in New York. One Friday night, he sees a girl singing at the bar, Annie Leonhart. Determined to make her fall in love with him, Eren holds two parties in his apartment, which bothers his roommate, Armin Arlert, who has an essay in Constitutional Law. However, there are two things that Eren does not count on, first of all, that his great love Mikasa Ackerman will be present and that Annie Leonhart may enjoy the company of another person more.

Y/N: I'm on permanent hiatus in the love department.

Nancy: Really? I find that hard to believe.

Y/N: I guess I'm old-fashioned. I believe that each of us only gets one. And I got mine already.

Robin: Well, if you ask me, you know what comes after the one? The next one.

Y/N: Oh, yeah. Well, I don't really see that happening any time soon.

A/N: Used this incorrect quote before, but thought it was perfect for @ladyfluff and her Strangest Things AU lol sorry girl, had to!

New crack fic idea:

(Barney from HIMYM and Dennis from Always Sunny meet each other for the first time in Paddy’s Pub (where Barney shows up after being separated from Ted during their eventful trip to Philly.))

There, he witnesses Dennis Reynolds hitting on a generic blonde hottie and just has to intervene. Dennis’s moves are wayyyy too underdeveloped and frankly archaic. He needs something more legend- (wait for it) -dary to be able to pick up the gorgeous and elusive species known as “women.”

Dennis gawks in offense as he watches Barney woo the blondie with his suave expertise.

As Barney walks the total baddie away, he throws a cheeky wink in Dennis’s direction as the newfound couple make their way towards the door.

Filled with rage, Dennis approaches dangerously and shoves Barney hard. Barney turns around in shock, disgusted that his designer suit had been touched by one of those filthy Phillidelphians.

Dennis makes a loud ruckus in the bar. He shouts far too loud about how that girl was his for the night and that he almost had her. All the while Dee continued cleaning a glass over and over again in the corner, pretending not to hear as Dennis continued his adult tantrum.

Barney shooed the broad away as he straightened out his suit. He slung an arm over Dennis’s shoulder as waved his hand towards the sky. He said that if Dennis really needed help picking up hot chicks that badly, Barney was there to teach Dennis how to live.

Dennis slapped Barney’s hands away from him in disgust. Dennis claimed he knew very well how to live and that he could pick up any girl he wanted. He didn’t need some rando asshole in a fancy suit to teach him anything.

Barney smiled…

This called for a competition.

A competition to see who was the suavest, hottest, and downright godliest of bachelors in this particular corner of Philly.

The objective? The first to go home (or at least out the front door) with a Philadelphian woman would be crowned the winner.

The trophy? Forever bragging rights along with the metaphorical crown of badassitude.

Oh man, are the others gonna love this… They thought at the same time.

As the clock struck 8:30pm, the poor excuse for a rush hour hit the bar. Ones (singular) of people all came in, all entering the bar in a matter of several minutes. All while Barney and Dennis stared each other down with a fire of competition in their eyes.

Suddenly, at the same time, the two nodded before scrambling away to opposite sides of the bar.

Dennis ran to the nearest woman he could find, grabbed her by the shoulders, and spun her around to look at her face. He winced and made a sound before moving on.

Barney slid against the weirdly wet floor and into the view of another woman on the other side of the room. He faltered at her below average looks before taking note of her huge badonkers and promptly smiling.

Barney asked how she was doing, where she grew up, what her relationship with her dad is like, and other non-intrusive questions.

Meanwhile Dennis slicked his over-greased hair back. He acted cool in front of a woman who looked just hot enough for him. She happily rattled on about her day as Dennis grew impatient. He rolled his eyes and checked his watch as he took glances at Barney’s progress. He couldn’t lose this.

As Barney could practically feel the sexual attraction radiating off the woman in front of him, he couldn’t help but notice his competition across the bar.

Dennis’s target woman was ranting all too loudly about her secret. She entered with a fake ID (that no one checked anyways) and was actually 16. Dennis’s hand slowly reached for her shoulder as he admitted that it was close enough for him and they should go back to his place for some… “video games.”

Barney’s head snapped towards Dennis in shock. He silently told Ms. Huge Badonkers to wait a minute as he quickly approached Dennis and wound up. Dennis turned with a shitty grin just in time to be decked directly in the face.

Dennis slid across the dirty floor as he held his bloody nose. He whined and grunted on the floor like a little baby. Suddenly, Dee “accidentally” spilled a drink on his face with a triumphant smile before walking away.

Barney shook his hand before grabbing a napkin to wipe his bloody knuckles. He readjusted his suit and approached the teenager. He shook his head disapprovingly and pointed a thumb towards the door. She hung her head sadly and left the bar.

Barney gave one last look at the pitiful man on the floor. He scoffed to himself before putting his arm around the huge-boobed lady’s waist and exited the bar.

Mac and Charlie rushed to Dennis’s side and helped him up. Mac yelled at Barney that he’ll pay for what he did to his bro, but Barney simply said that if Dennis was their bro, Mac and Charlie needed a better one.

After Barney was done making insane love to this big-boobied beast, he’d have to tell Ted all about tonight and it was absolutely legend- (wait for it…)

-dary!

[littlesugarwords]

Can we get some reactions for the HIMYM gang of reader being taller than them?

oooo this is gonna be a fun one

Ted: Ted had been having a great time with Y/N, so much so he wasn’t noticing the time slipping away. They had run into each other at MacLaren's and struck up a conversation. Suddenly, hours had passed. It had only felt like minutes. “I better get going,” Ted admitted sheepishly, standing and sliding his coat on. “I work in the morning.” “Me too,” Y/N said with a chuckle, standing up and grabbing their coat as well. Ted’s eyes widened, stunned at the height of his apparent date. “Wow,” he said softly and under his breath. It was involuntary, but Y/N heard. “What?” Sheepishly, they gave a meek smile, sliding their coat over their shoulders. “My height, huh? Wearing heels probably isn’t helping my case.” Apparently, they got this often. Ted smiled, cheeks warm. “I think it’s great. You’re great.” Y/N smiled, buttoning up their coat. “Maybe we’ll need to meet up here again, just without the heels.” “I don’t think it’ll change much,” Ted teased. The two chuckled.

Robin: Robin chuckled, thankful for deciding to bite the bullet and go out on their date. She had been nervously postponing actually planning something but decided it was time to stop stringing them along and go for it. Truthfully, she had a better time than she thought she’d have. She often hated first dates. They were far too awkward and nerve-wracking. “Thanks for agreeing to come out,” Robin said, grinning from ear to ear. “This has been a lot of fun.” “UI agree,” Y/N said gently, pushing themselves to their feet and grabbing the coat off the back of their chair. Robin’s eyes widened and she choked on the last sip of beer she was attempting to finish. She sputtered and coughed, snagging Y/N’s attention. “Woah, are you okay?” Robin nodded, waving her hand to dissuade them from worrying. “Yes, just, wow.” She coughed once more. “You’re, uh, tall.” Y/N chuckled, offering to help her to her feet. “I get that a lot.” “It’s not a bad thing!” She rushed to say. “It’s a great thing.” She meant that.

Barney: Barney smirked to himself as he sipped away at his beer, content with the way his date was going so far. He arrived fashionably late - as always - and Y/N had already selected a table or the two of them at the bar. “I’ve already ordered your go-to,” Y/N said. Barney smirked. Maybe, just maybe, this one might last. Even just a little while. They talked and chatted for hours, about anything and everything, about values and mindless blabber. Then, just as Y/N excused themselves to go to the bathroom, Barney practically choked on his beer. He swallowed and tried to play it off, staring at them, craning his neck. “Wow,” he finally managed to say before they left. “You’re very, uh,” he hesitated, trying to find the right words to use that wouldn’t offend them. “Tall?” Y/N smirked and chuckled. “Hope that doesn’t threaten you.” With that, they left for the bathroom and Barney was left stunned, shocked that his date was just as confident as him, if not more so.

Marshall: Marshall fiddled with his fingers - a telltale sign that he was nervous - as he and Y/N made small talk. It had been a while since they had caught up - practically over a decade - but it was nice regardless. It felt so new. So strange. He wasn’t quite adjusted to seeing them again yet. “Hey, it was really good seeing you again.” Y/N said, setting their empty glass on the MacLaren's table. “It’s been too long since we actually got to hang out.” “Agreed,” Marshall said with a smile and nod. “Do you have a ride?” Y/N nodded at his question. “I do, thanks. Ordered a cab 20 minutes ago.” As they spoke, they stood, tossing their jacket over their left arm. “Holy--” Marshall caught himself before he blurted out what he was thinking. “You’re like a building.” Y/N smirked, chuckling to himself. “I get that a lot. More than you’d think.” “What kind of steroids are you taking?” He asked jokingly. Y/N pat his shoulder and started away without another word, just a smile.

Lily: Lily smiled, cheeks bright and full of life. Lily had run into a childhood friend at a coffee shop. It was her day off, and she was treating herself to a warm coffee and a brisk walk through the park to clear her head, but spotting Y/N, those plans went out the window. “It’s been so good to see you,” Lily said, squeezing Y/N’s hands sweetly from across the table. Just as the two went to stand, Lily’s eyes widened. “Woah!” Lily said, immediately clamping her hand over her mouth. She chuckled to herself nervously. “S-Sorry, you’re just so much,” she hesitated, “taller than I remember.” “The last time you saw me was, like, 5th grade.” “Exactly.” The two chuckled, Lily left in awe. Both of them had changed so much, especially Y/N, it seemed.

how i met your mother fanfic prompt challenge

because i rewatched the entire show in 2 months and i’m obsessed with applying these various concepts to ships i like (whether i agree with them or not). the idea is that your story could explore these theories and whether or not they ring true for the characters. 

i’m surprised i didn’t see a specific prompt meme like this yet, it’s been a decade since the show ended, haha! 

“have you met x?”: the surefire way to set someone up is to just casually introduce them to the person they’re into. 

“the olive theory”: one character loves something the other hates, and they find a balance. 

“lemon law”: if the date hasn’t gone anywhere after five minutes, maybe it’s time to call it off early. 

“nothing good happens after 2am”: the decisions you make after 2am will be the wrong ones.

“pause/unpause”: if you don’t want to have an argument right now, just “pause” it and come back to it later. 

“the ‘oh’ moment”: the more you know about a person, the more you risk learning about that surefire dealbreaker for your relationship. do you want to put off getting to know this, or do you want to know it as soon as possible?

“slap bet”: if you lose this bet, the other person has the right to slap you a certain amount of times at whatever time they choose. 

“freeway theory”: there are a number of “exits” you can choose to end a relationship after -- a few hours in, a few weeks in, a few months in, a year and a half, eighteen years, or just wait until you die. 

“stuff”: if your ex gave you a present, is it fair to hold onto it when you enter a new relationship?

“revertigo”: when you’re around people from your past, you begin acting like them. 

“hot/crazy scale”: your partner should be “hotter” than they are “crazy.” 

“the chain of screaming”: once someone with higher authority puts you down, it’s inevitable that you’re going to scream at someone "lesser” than you to get that tension out, and the chain will continue from there. 

“walk of shame”: the embarrassing act of going home after doing something embarrassing, usually a bad hookup. and god forbid your friends notice you on the way home...

“the platinum rule”: never hook up with somebody you see everyday, especially not a coworker. 

“not a father’s day”: celebrating not getting someone pregnant.

“the perfect week”: an attempt to have one new sex partner for each day of the week. could also be extended into “the perfect month” for 31 days if you wanna get risky. also definitely a sign of some personal issues going on.

“rabbit-duck theory”: re-evaluating something (or someone!) you love may turn it into something you hate... and vice versa. 

“reacher-settler theory”: in every relationship, there’s someone reaching way out of their league, and someone settling below their league. the question is, who’s who?

“new relationship smugness”: the honeymoon phase during the first few months of a relationship. when do you stop believing you’re a “perfect couple”?

“relationship chicken”: both of you are unhappy in this relationship, but neither wants to be the first one to admit it. 

“bait”: get something cool to entice prospective lovers to come over to your place -- just make sure it isn’t cooler than you. 

“the hook”: one character spends a lot of time being affectionate with the other, but keeps insisting they can’t be together “right now.” but is that true, or are they simply exploiting the other person’s attraction to them?

“baggage”: everyone has some hangups or trauma that might make it harder to have a relationship going forward. 

“graduation goggles”: when you try to separate from something you once couldn’t stand, you see it in a much more nostalgic light, and suddenly you can’t leave it behind. 

“gaps”: everybody has something they should know at their age, but do not (i.e. how to use tools, mispronouncing a certain word). 

“truth voice”: saying your true feelings in a sarcastic voice to make it sound like a lie.

“the blitz”: it seems that, whenever this one character leaves the room, amazing things happen, and they never get back in time to see them. 

“the hate rule”: if one person in the friend group hates someone, everyone else has to hate them too. 

“the mermaid theory”: reportedly, if a man spends enough time with a woman, he’ll become attracted to her no matter what. 

“desperation day”: the day before valentine’s day when everyone’s desperate to hook up.

“noretta”: everyone ends up dating someone like their parents. 

“early relationship chicken”: both people in the relationship agrees to do incredibly weird and dangerous activities, because they both want to look open-minded and cool. 

“pregnancy brain”: being pregnant makes your mental faculties and judgment a lot worse. 

“lobster theory”: you want something more if you’re told you can’t have it (i.e. a lobster allergy making you crave lobster, or being rejected making you like the other person more).

“dobler-dahmer theory”: a big romantic gesture can be endearing if the feelings are requited, but if they aren’t, you just look really creepy. 

“overcorrection”: dating someone who’s the complete opposite of your recent ex. 

“eight or higher”: if you’re new parents, you usually don’t have time to listen to your friends’ problems... unless they’re really serious.

“the international date line”: the thin line that distinguishes whether you’re on a romantic date or just hanging out as friends. 

“no questions asked”: if someone calls you in to do a weird favor, and they insist you don’t ask why you need it, they owe you the same courtesy when you need a weird favor. 

you can add whatever other prompts i might have missed, i also didn’t put these in perfect episode order lol sorry

Ding dong.

The five friends turn to face the sudden disturbance, all with perplexed expressions written across their faces.

“Did someone order pizza?” Ted questions.

Everyone shakes their head as Ted frowns, his eyebrows creasing in befuddlement. After much hesitation, he stands up from the couch and unlocks the door. That was when the mystery person had revealed their presence, causing Ted’s eyes to widen at the sight of someone he thought he’d never see.

“Y/N?” He lets out a light chuckle, a smile forming on his face.

“Hey, Ted.”

———

“Y/N, what are you doing here?”

“Well, I was in the city, and I thought, ‘hey, why not go visit my brother?’ I mean, how long has it been since we’ve seen each other in person?”

He nods, the smile on his face only growing in size as they both savoured this moment of reuniting after not having seeing each other for a few, very tiring years.

Ted turns around to spot several pairs of extremely confused eyes glaring upon the two as he snaps himself back to reality.

“Uh, right! Guys, this is Y/N, my sister. Y/N, this is Marshall and Lily — who I’m sure you remember.”

She officially steps into the room to approach the couple as they stand up from the couch with huge grins on their faces.

“Y/N, it’s great to see you again! I haven’t seen you since, like, college,” Marshall says as he wraps her in a hug, Lily following after.

“Yeah, it’s been way too long. Congratulations on the baby, by the way!” She greets as she hugs them back before promptly breaking it.

“Thank you. You know, if you’re sticking around, maybe you can get a chance to meet him?” Lily asks.

“Wouldn’t miss it for the world.”

The three smile at one another once more before Ted gestures towards Robin.

“Robin, this is my sister Y/N. Y/N, this is-“

“-Robin Scherbatsky! It’s nice to finally meet you,” Y/N greets as she reaches for Robin’s hand.

Robin simply smiles before shaking hers in return. “Yeah, you too.”

“And this is Bar… where’s Barney?”

Everyone scans around the room, searching for their missing friend.

“Well, while you guys look for your mystery friend, uh, could I use your bathroom? The cab ride here lasted longer than I expected.”

Ted nods. “Yeah, ‘course. The bathroom’s just that way.” He points to a door in the near distance.

“Thanks.”

Y/N rushes her way to the direction where Ted pointed towards, spotting the door and reaching for the handle, only for it to be opened by someone else on the other side.

“Ted, you’re toilet’s clogged agai-“

That was when Y/N’s eyes trailed to connect with Barney’s, a sudden moment of déjà vu hit them both where it hurt the most.

Her face instantly drops in realization, everything surrounding them seeming to fade into view, blurring itself out of the picture. Her eyes fixated on the man, who was glaring back at her dumbfounded expressions. “Y/N, you’re…”

Ted eyes the two suspisciously, already able to tell that a secret was silently being shared between his sister and his (second) best friend.

That was when Y/N subtly shakes her head, going unnoticed by everyone else in the room except for the man in front of her.

“…just as gorgeous as I pictured in my head! I knew Ted had a hot sister,” he exclaims in a cheery tone, earning an eye roll from Ted.

“And that’s why, you don’t just come uninvited to my apartment, because sometimes, I got a creepy guy lounging around.”

Y/N frowns at Ted. “Oh, I’m sorry for wanting to come visit my brother every now and then. Especially when the last text he’s sent me was ‘sorry I forgot your gift for Christmas.’”

“That’s my way of saying that I love you very very much.”

“Yeah yeah, whatever. I’ll be right back.”

Barney and Y/N’s eyes linger on one another for a seemingly forever-lasting moment before he steps out of the way, letting her walk past him and close the door behind them.

As Barney walks over to sit back on the couch, Ted approaches him, his steps suddenly deafening and cold.

“Hey, you better not be trying any moves on my sister or I swear to God I will individually rip every single suit you’ve ever owned.”

Barney rolls his eyes at Ted’s feeble attempt to make a believeable threat. “I won’t.”

Barney turns to face the bathroom door, holding in a heavy sigh from escaping his lips as his stare lingers into the room. “I promise.”

◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤

A/N: that “I promise” is a callback to when they both promsied that the next time they’d see each other, they’d kiss.

Watched a couple of himym episodes and got nostalgic...

So thought let's share my headcanon for the shows ending ...

Ted ofc ends up with Tracy and wouldn't change that one bit. And yes, Tracy doesn't die in my story 🔥 and for all who would say that's how life is, people die!! I mean, this is a fictional show about characters finding love 🤷‍♂️ I want the fairytale ending 😭😭

(If you wanna it to be realistic...I feel it would be interesting to see what if Marshall and Lily separated (for good i mean) ?? )

Robin and Barney do get a divorce in this alternate reality and maybe Barney ends up with Nora (plsssss)....

Robin becomes super famous as per canon and ends up finding someone who wants the same thing as her. We as the audience don't need to see who that is but just give us the hope that there was someone truly meant for her!!

What do yall think?? 🤔

Do share your fanfictions as well!! It's super fun to read 📚

The Easter bunny

“Daddy, who’s the Easter bunny and what is his connection to the Abrahamic religion system?” Ronald, the husband, the father, the warrior, gazed down gently at little Michael, his youngest son. His deep voice that overwhelmed the boys ears with hope and wonder spoke. “Let me tell you a story, son. Do you remember the story of the manger? Of our lord Jesus Christ?” Michael nodded excitedly. He had always loved that story. “Well, there’s something I’ve never told you before about that story. A detail I left out. But today, my boy, you’re finally old enough to learn about Mary’s second son. You see, after Jesus was killed, Mary decided it was best for her youngest to run away and to take up a new identity. He lived for a very long time and changed a lot of lives. Lives like yours, Michael. Thankfully he stayed hidden for centuries before he was tragically cut short by an evil man named Pleurisy. Pleurisy was jealous of the man and his strengths. His godlike ability to pull light from the sky and control it as if a part of his own hand made him feel powerless, and when a man feels powerless he can do horrible things. This man was a very large public figure, so his death was covered up as to not cause country-wide outrage.” The other 4 of the sliver fox’s children had gathered around his feet in a circle, listening intently and staring up at him in awe of the story. Ronald had always had such a way of painting pictures with his words. The sights he spoke into existence as simply as tying a knot seemed the gather in towards his towering form and softly floated and buzzed around the seven heads in the room. “well, the man died long after his family and had no one to guide him to heaven to be amongst the others of God’s children. So, he lay waiting in his casket for that very special day that his older brother would rise to join him in the afterlife, and one day, that day came. On easter morning, the man had leapt into the stars, leaving his body and his life behind. Now, children. The Easter bunny. Which one wanted to hear about him? You? The adopted one, right?” Michael spoke again with visible tears on his face “I’m adopted?” They stared at each other for a moment “ Yeah… Anyway, a rabbit priest, a priestly rabbit came hopping along a few years later with quite an intent for disruption. He dug a burrow into the thick mound of dirt he had claimed as his own only to meet something hard. ‘Metal? Cement?’ He thought. Wood. The rabbit has dug so far down that he had reached the man’s casket. And being a curious rabbit, he climbed inside to see if the man had been a practicing Christian. No cross was found around the neck of the picked clean bone he found there. The rabbit was disappointed. It was getting cold out and so he climbed inside of the forms ribcage, hoping he wouldn’t mind the company. The days turned into nights until the rabbit had realized it had become Easter yet again. As the skeleton began to move on its own it pulled the animal out from inside it by the ear and asked it what it had been doing in there. The rabbit assured him that he meant no harm and that he was just very cold. They made a deal that since the man couldn’t come down to earth all year, that the rabbit could keep his remains safe and dedicate his life to spreading his message. They both agreed and they shook on it. It was a beautiful spring day when the rabbit decided to bring the skeleton outside and disguised it inside costume of himself. He egged people houses and he told people to ‘suck it!!’ And all was well in America. And that man, oh how he smiles down upon all of you kids, I just know it.” “Really? How would you know?” Ronald Reagan glanced up at his husband Benjamin Franklin Christ and tucked a strand of his long, silver hair behind his ear. Their smiles two halves of the same ring. “Oh, I know.”

My latest Swarkles fic for y'all to enjoy <3

[inmyveinsposts]

I've been rewatching "I how i met your mother" and now all I can think about is an aruani au.

Guess I'll have to write a mini series of one-shot of aruani in that universe. Zero angst. All fluff & laughs.
