I Only Just Found Out About The Alternate Ending To How I Met Your Mother And Dear God It Was So Much

I only just found out about the alternate ending to how I met your mother and dear god it was so much better?? It would've been that easy?

Like I get they planned it in advance and has Luke and Penny's scenes pre-recorded but they didn't have to use them? How I met your mother is such a great show and it was so well known and I bet if they went with that ending it would have actually stayed popular rather than getting overlooked.

about gelphie: I know maguire went viral for writing “GELPHIE IS REAL” when signing someone’s book, but gelphie isn’t “official” in the books. Like, they never explicitly “date.” Elphaba kisses Glinda on the mouth, and they “sleep together” on the way to the EC, but I’d say it’s a stretch calling them “official” in the books - and I’m a Gelphie shipper myself!!

I kinda assumed that they never actually went out, I don't think they would've had time to try while keeping that storyline tbh.

When I said official I meant that they kissed, as like a "oh they actually did have feelings" and as "they're officially queer". Like officially lgbtq not officially dating if that makes sense :)

Sorry if the post didn't sound like what I meant and thank you for giving me more information! I haven't read the book yet (I have it, I just don't read much) so I'm going off the musical and what I've heard people say.

Generally if a ship kisses, it gets called official because they do officially like eachother iykwim

It's so funny that both Galinda and Elphaba immediately go "oh this girl makes me feel really warm and flustered. It's probably because I hate her? Idrk that makes the most sense" but god it's so in character for both of them.

I see people judging because of how obvious it was that they didn't really hate eachother but like

1- as if either of them would know what a lesbian is? We'd have "ofc I like men doesn't everyone? That's the normal thing to feel??" Vs "wdym I like her? Why would that make me flustered??" Rich people pleaser vs neglect & self loathing.

2- Galinda wouldn't have had that kinda feelings for anyone yet but also wouldn't have hated anyone (at least that much) yet. So when she got the feels she absolutely would've gone "oh that's weird it's probably hate? It's a girl so idrk"

3- Elphie is way more used to negative feelings and people hating her than she's used to liking people. She gets strong feelings about someone, she assumes it's just hate.

4- Do people forget that they didn't get along even before that song? Elphie thinks Galinda is spoiled, Galinda thinks Elphie is weird. It's not like they got those feelings immediately, it was after they already decided they didn't like eachother. It's not like you would fight with someone and then go "wow my face is red and my hearts beating really fast, I must like them!" Like come on guys, context??

Like yeah looking back on it it was obvious they liked eachother but those are also all things that happen when you really hate someone?

I just scrolled through instagram reels long enough that I got confused by AO3 tags omfg. There was the character tag "___ (minor)" and I just stared at it for like three minutes trying to figure out why they made her a minor.

Honestly I love bad parent Bruce™ and all the options on this made me feel things

I love this art smm
