Barney&Robin - I'm giving up on you

Ok, I finished it! And I gotta say that I was so inspired to do this. I was looking for a Barney/Robin video with this song, but I found non and I was like 'OMG, I have to do one - that songs (sadly) scream Swarkles after that parody of a finale'. And it just made itself. Idk how it turned out, I love some parts, I hate others, I think I used too many quotes, but I guess it's up to you to decide. I just hope it gives feelings of tragedy, angst and love.

QUOTES:
"I thought love was just something idiots thought they felt. But that woman has a hold on my heart that I could not break if I wanted to. And there have been times that I wanted to. But I could not stop loving her anymore that I could stop breathing. I am hopelessly, irretrievably in love with her. More than she knows." - Barney, 8x06
" - Robin Scherbatsky, will you marry me? - Yes" - Barney and Robin, 8x12
"You are the most awesome person I've ever known." - Barney, 3x16
"If it wasn't gonna happen with Robin, then it's just not gonna happen with anyone." - Barney, 9x23 - 9x24
"Ted said that right before the accident his life flashed before his eyes, you know - all the stuff he loves. Did that happen to you?" - Marshall, 3x20
"For Barney, the second that would never end was this one." - (Future) Ted, 7x10
" - Does this mean anything? - Of course it did... Of course it didn't." - Robin&Barney, 7x10
"When I let a day go buy without talking to you, that day is just no good." - Barney, 7x09
"You know what the gang is to me? It's my ex - husband, hitting on slutty cops right in front of me..." - Robin, 9x23 - 9x24
" - You're an idiot. - If she tells you you're an idiot, you are a lucky man." - Robin and Ted, 5x03
"I love you, Robin. I've made a vow that I would always tell you the truth." - Barney, 9x23 - 9x24
" - Robin, I know you're upset. - Of course I'm upset, Barney. Don't you see how constantly talking about your conquests makes me fell like I'm just another number to you? - You are not just another number to me." - Barney&Robin - 5x17
"I am done trying to get you. I can't do it anymore. I am done making a fool of myself." - Barney, 8x08
" - We got divorced. - It was a very successful marriage that happened to only last 3 years." - Robin&Barney, 9x23 - 9x24

WARNING! LONG RANT AHEAD!

Now about Barney and Robin. I started watching the show after it had already finished, after I knew the endgames. And since the only episode I had seen before that were old ones back when Ted&Robin were together, I thought 'Maybe it is not as lame as people think - Ted&Robin were so cute'.
I started watching and in the first few seasons I was in love with Ted&Robin. When 3x16 happened, it was weird to me. In season 4 I started to fall for Barney&Robin, but up until I guess season 6 I liked both couples kind of equally (maybe still more Ted&Robin). But seeing Barney&Nora made me realise how much I missed my sweet Swarkles. Everything from there on was Barney&Robin for me. My heart broke for Ted when he pinned for Robin, but I knew that it was necessary for him to realise he and Robin don't belong together in order to be ready for the Mother. That was the growing up he had to do. Like the growing up Barney&Robin did for 9 seasons. And then the writers screwed everything up in 2-3 episode. 'I should be marrying you' to Ted mere minutes before she marries Barney?! WTF?! So out of character... And then the finale. What stunned me was the Barney/Robin/Ted thing. Barney&Robin getting divorced over wi - fi ?! Robin giving up on him so easily and him taking the out?! WTF? 9 years of character developpment GONE. Robin being more upset about seeing Ted&Tracy than seeing Barney go back to his old ways?! And Barney having a child with a nameless woman?! Robin not being bitter about him having a child with a random bimbo?! Please... And then the last part of the finale. First which normal children will completely disregard their parents' love story?! And Ted going to Robin - it was like Tracy had always been his second choice, just a footnote in the story of Ted&Robin. And the way Robin reacted - well, I don't buy it. They ruined 3 beautiful couples to me: Barney&Robin and Ted&Tracy, and also they ruined Te&Robin for me (I don't hate them, I'll alway slove them in the first 2 seasons, but I think they are indeed ruined) - just so that they could have the ending they thought of 7-8 years ago. Years in which these characters grew. But I guess that didn't matter to them.
I'll always have Barney&Robin and Ted&Tracy as endgames. And I will always be bitter about Barney&Robin because what they had was real.

LONG RANT OVER :D

Tell me what you think, feedback is always loved!

Barney came as sidekick and left as a hero

[shanegallagher]

That first quote alone proves how perfect they are.

[chloebrown]

its 2015 and im still not over the ending

[erokvp]

I really wish Barney and Robin stayed together. I understand why it ended the way it did. I can see how everything plays to the ending and how life doesn't always work out perfectly. But I really liked them together and really felt like Barney and Robin really grew up and matured with each other. They were a perfect fit.

[rachel-hfgb]

It's 2016 and I'm still pissed and sad they didn't end up together

[lorelai]

I'm crying. I can't believe they ruined something so beautiful :(

[laourat]

If only in the first episode Robin was looking at Barney instead of Ted.

[UnhingedPopNAEMEA]

It's 2020 and I still I'm not over this duo and the ending, BARNEY&ROBIN for LIFE, Beautiful Edit.

[noregretskii]

I can't stop crying. because this video is so so beautiful and I'm still so freaking mad about how things ended.

[sailormoonserenity]

I started watching last week and currently on season 4. I already know the ending and still like Ted x Robin. But I'm really falling in love with Barney x Robin now. And I can see why everyone hates the finale.

[anja]

2018 and I'm still here and on every other Swarkles video. This show is my favourite and the finale was just heartbreaking. I cried for the entire episode and I try to tell myself that the finale didn't happen but every time I rewatch it I just have to watch to last episode. This edit was beautiful, the song and the overall feels.

[silvanaloor]

ITS 2017 AND IM STILL UPSET AND DEPRESSED THAT THEY WEREN'T ENDGAME IM SORRY BUT THEY WERE THE DEFINITION OF A PERFECT COUPLE

[Supsi]

Ah the pain is coming back. That was so perfect. I has a similar journey to yours, although I started watching when 4 seasons had aired so I didn't know of the endgames obviously. But even in S9 I remember saying to people how perfect this show is cos it truly doesn't matter to me who ends up together. I loved both Ted/Robin and Barney/Robin for different reasons. And then I somehow managed to be pissed off at the end. It was just weird, rushed. I felt like this story was a book that they slashed a sword through.

Wonderful job on the video and capturing all the pain <3

[thisismaria]

argh, you got me. barney & robin simply belonged together. everything else is simply stupid. and you proved why. gosh, this editing is awesome!!!

[incrediblyingenious]

I'd been rooting for Barney and Robin since the very first freaking episode, do the fact that they didn't end up together in the end makes me VERY pissed off. It's obvious Barney loves her, and it's VERY fucking rare for him to love any girl. Also, the entire show when Ted tells his kids about meeting their mother, he and the kids refer to Robin as AUNT ROBIN. So WHY in the HELL does she end up being the MOTHER OF TED'S CHILDREN? IT'S COMPLETELY LAME AND IL- WAIT FOR IT - LOGICAL. And it makes me so unbelievably angry.

[anushkagupta]

It was rare for Barney to feel love which is why Robin and Barney were perfect. Meanwhile, Ted fell in love again and again!

I loved Swarkles and hated the finale :(

[charlenecamilleri]

to everyone that thinks the ending was realistic. It was not. they spent years growing into a compatible couple. they loved each other like crazy and once they were married they would never let it go again. I mean the writers couldn't even find a proper reason to break them up. because she travels too much??? that is no good excuse. they were just so desperate to get ted and robin back that they overlooked what an amazing change all the carachters had made.

I'm sorry. this just still gets me on my nerves.

[moppetmaker]

I just watched this series for the first time. I knew how it was going to end. I thought I was prepared. But no. I wasn't. It still felt like the biggest slap ever. I didn't expect to root so hard for this pair.

[jmn.may]

The sparks, the chemistry...between them... They were absofuckinglutely meant to be together. Why The finale sucks.
