I'm super late this week! eep, sorry. It was a combination of 95% of the episode being about Barney/Robin (making this picspam GINORMOUS!) and a crazy RL.
Ted has been WAY awesome this season. I've never been one to hate him, like i think a lot of fans did, but I was never that invested. But I find myself liking him a lot this year and finding his storylines separate from the group sweet and charming! I love that he supports B/R, but that's totally not why i love him!
I completely agree (x10) about the comment that Barney typically would be great at listening to Robin or any of his friends - as he does care about them a lot and afterall was a great friend to Robin in Sandcastles - but the context that his emotional support was needed in was putting too much pressure on him. Instead of just being there for his friend without really thinking about it - all of a sudden it's being an emotional and caring boyfriend who talks about his feelings. I think that's enough to scare Barney. I like the idea that it's not that Barney is incapable of caring or talking, but more like he's psyching himself out. Of course Robin might not see it like that at the time

I think Ted (and Robin a bit) became way more likable after season three. Not because of their relationship per say, but Ted just seemed a lot more needy/whiny about finding "the one" back then. And I think he grew up a lot after he and Robin broke up. (What I mean about Robin is that in s1/s2 there were a few random Robin-centric episodes that were wonderful, but mostly she felt like "Ted's love interest" more than anything else, and in s3 she grew more into her own person.)
Of course Robin might not see it like that at the time. LOL Robin needs to call me every time she and Barney have issues. I could probably explain away everything like it's no big deal.
ROBIN IS COMPLETELY AWESOME! Blah, I need to finish that Robin POV picspam.
BUT WHY WOULD BARNEY THINK EMPEROR PENGUINS ARE WEIRD? HE SHOULD TAKE IT AS A SIGN THAT ROBIN IS INTO HIM-- EMPEROR PENGUINS ARE LIKE EWOKS IN SUITS. Or some version of it.
ah this is so amazing!
And I don't know how the writers do it but they're pulling off Robin/Barney fantastically!
Also, BARNEY'S TWITTER IS AMAZING. HE IS FOLLOWING DONALD TRUMP'S HAIR.

When couples give the finger together you know it's true love!

I love that he is following basically every Donald Trump thing in exsistence.
