Same! I attribute all my problem solving skills to Nancy Drew games

My totally normal coping mechanism: when a situation is stressful or hard, I pretend I am in a Nancy Drew game 😌

Cobie Smulders who plays Robin confirmed herself that Barney was the real love of Robin’s life and her soulmate

Yes. Both Barney and Ted were never the most perfect partners for Robin. They both had major flaws. So did Robin. She was never the most perfect person either. BUT, the difference is, despite all the flaws of Barney and Ted, Ted never really accepted Robin for who she was and what she wanted out of her own life. When we first meet Robin in the pilot episode. She makes it clear that she is super career oriented and her job will always come first over her love life. There was even an entire episode when she was in a relationship with Don, that all the other group members made mention that Robin always prioritises her work over her love life. So Ted is well aware of this. But still pursues Robin. He knows full well that she doesn’t want marriage and kids. Or anything else that Ted wants. But Ted still wants to continue a relationship with her. So them breaking up shouldn’t of been so shocking.

Ted thought that by being in a relationship with Robin that somehow Robin will change her mind. So Ted was never really in love with Robin. But more of the idea of her. His love for what HE wanted in his life trumped whatever “love” her had for Robin. He was unwilling to compromise because what HE wanted in life was more important to him than continuing a relationship with Robin. We can all talk about all the creepy things Barney did to get Robin. But let’s not forget that Ted also done creepy things to get Robin and I’d argue Ted was worse because at least Barney is honest with who he is. Ted is the “good guy” so that makes his actions a lot worse than Barney’s. So for everyone saying they broke up because they wanted different things, that’s the whole point. They had different outlooks on life. And both Ted and Robin knew this. Ted was willing to break up with a woman he supposedly “loves” all because she didn’t want what he wanted in life. The ending was more sad than anything. It was basically two super old people who didn’t really have anyone else in their lives in a romantic way.

Barney, as flawed as he was. The difference between him and Ted is that Barney ACTUALLY accepted Robin for who she was. He never once tried to change her. When he finds out that she can’t have kids, that wasn’t a deal breaker for him at all. He still wanted to pursue Robin. Like he said to his Mother who asked him about possible grandchildren, Barney said she can’t have kids and that’s okay because he’s marrying Robin for HER. Not some idea of having kids. So Robin being so career oriented and not wanting kids was never this deal breaker for Barney. Which makes their divorce that much more illogical. Barney being tied of Robin constantly travelling and not putting time in their marriage.

Because he loved her for her. Barney was completely okay with not having kid because Robin was more than enough. Unlike Ted who was obsessed with Robin for no real reason. When Robin kept shooting down Ted constantly. There was an episode in season 8, where Robin tried to sell Barney’s house. Then later changed her mind because she said that if she tried to change everything about Barney he was never going to be the man she fell in love with. And that she accepted all the creepy sociopathic things about him. So basically Robin accepts Barney for who he truly is and still wanted to marry him and form a marriage with him. So BOTH Barney and Robin both accept each other for who they are.

All in all, Ted was never really in love with Robin. But more of the idea of her. Barney on the other hand was in love with Robin for HER. Ted was unwilling to change his outlook on what he wanted in life when he knew it didn’t match Robins. But Barney despite all his flaws accepted Robin for who she was and never tried to change her.

So who was the love of Robin’s life and her true love and soulmate? It was Barney.

Dear Christian kids:

“Honor thy father and thy mother” does not mean “let your parents belittle you constantly and disproportionately”

“Honor thy father and thy mother” does not mean “let your parents physically absue you”

“Honor thy father and thy mother” does not mean “let your parents steal from you”

“Honor thy father and thy mother” does not mean “let your parents lie about you”

“Honor thy father and thy mother” does not mean “let your parents endanger you physically or emotionally”

“Honor thy father and thy mother” does not mean “your parents can sexually assault you”

“Honor thy father and thy mother” does not mean “your parents can force you to wear clothes that are uncomfortable or sleep in a bed that causes you physical pain or demand that you speak with a specific regional accent”

“Honor thy father and thy mother” does not mean “you are your parent’s slave”

“Honor thy father and thy mother” does not mean “you owe your parents something for giving birth to you”

“Honor thy father and thy mother” does not mean “lie to protect your parents”

“Honor thy father and thy mother” does mean you should basically respect your parents and obey them within reason. Your parents do not get to change the definition of respect to include whatever they think you should do. The definition of respect does not include mindless obedience. And when the point comes that your parents tell you to do something morally wrong, at that point you are no longer required to obey them. Morally wrong includes things that are harmful to you.

The Bible commands that children honor their parents, but it also tells parents not to provoke their children (Ephesians 6:4). You are permitted to dissolve the parent-child relationship if your parents are not putting effort into it in a loving and Biblical manner. It is tragic, and in a perfect world would not be necessary, but we don’t live in a perfect world and sometimes it is necessary.

If you go to someone for help and their first response is “honor thy father and thy mother”, that person is not someone you can trust. “Honor thy father and thy mother” does not occur to rational people when a child says their parents are hurting them.

If you are being abused, it is okay to get out, even if the people in your church and family tell you that you owe your parents this. God loves you, and this is not what he wants for you.

it's not that I need a quiet day or a day off exactly; it's that I need a pocket of time that exists entirely outside of linear time as we know it that would allow me to get things done without time passing in the real world, and frankly, I don't think that's too much to ask.

MC: (after Sebastian teaches her a new spell) Is there anything you can’t do?

Sebastian: Gather up my wits and ask you out.

MC: What?

Sebastian: What?
