About to put a pretty controversial take about this season on here. Be warned.

I think people are giving producers way too much crap about creating drama this season. On some level, yes, adding the secret date cards and having SM choose the rooms are keep it a secret are them intentionally injecting chaos into the house. I even made a post last week about how producers are wayyyy more active and chaos creating, which I stand by, but I don't think it's somehow ruining the season.

I don't think the date cards or even them keeping the room choices a secret are meddling too much or ruining the contestants' abilities to form relationships. I think there might be something to be said about editing focusing too much on the times contestants are asking 'do you like me' etc, but people are acting like production is actually ruining the season.

And what I'm basically trying to say is what I touched on in my last His Man 3 post - the contestants choices in how they react to a given situation ( i.e SM refusing to just tell Hwi he wants to date) is equally or even more so responsible for the chaos that is unfolding.

I think that if all this stuff happened last season, it would not have been that big of a deal. JS was in a similar position to Hwi, but he was just way more relaxed and unbothered about SH going on other dates. Last seasons cast was just a lot better at not showing external stress and were frankly a lot less anxious. This season they're just much more...fiery I guess is the word? High energy is how I feel watching them.

If anyone is watching The Ampliverse recaps (which you should, they're the highlight of my week), they talked about how there's not anyone right now who has chemistry the was JS&SH or HJ&MS did. That may be a casting issue or it may just be because we're only at episode 6 (didn't get our best dates on His Man 2 until Day 4). And that is 100% playing into what is happening right now where no one is really sure they want to just commit to one person.

Last season, I also think the contestants had the advantage of going on dates they weren't as excited about first. SH went on a date with HJ and SW before JS and MS went on two dates with JS. Tbh, I think that if SH went on a date with JS first, last season would have been hella more stressful than the cozy little season it ended up being.

I would even make the argument that a secret extra date card would have made MS's life so much better because he would have gone on a date with both HJin and HJoon and the totally chaos at the end wouldn't have happened.

Contestants last season were just more decisive in what they wanted. Only like 1-3 people were interested in exploring multiple men. And I think that's just how the cookie crumbles sometimes when you cast. There's only 8 people, so maybe sometimes they just fall into place like last season. Or maybe it's less clear like this season.

I'm not saying production is saint worthy, and there's always room for improvement. The secret missions almost feel tooo on the nose for any given situation, and I wish they were much more random. Like maybe the person who got the least calls gets a special advantage or you just randomly find a card when you're outside smoking. IDK.

But, mdl and the His Man Youtube comment section are basically aflame with people saying they're ruining the show. And I just don't feel like that's an accurate placement of "blame".

I'm sure some people will have made it to the bottom and completely disagree with me. I'm not going to go bat for random TV show producers or put that much work into defending them. It's fine if the added stuff is making the show too high stress or dramatic for you. I was also expecting the show to be much more chill given the tone that last season set.

I also don't want to come off like I'm somehow blaming the very real people contestants on the show for making sometimes (frankly) boneheaded decisions.

But I do think it might be worth everyone asking if PD is actually sabotaging them or if this stress is a consequence of having real people with human emotions and faults be the center of a dating show.

I have a big google doc thing where I keep track of media and stuff (putting everything in loosely ranked categories), which is mostly just for my own reference so I know what tv shows I've already seen before, etc. and I never really look back through it, typically just a quick "okay, watched two movie in the past 8 months, need to quickly slap them somewhere in the lists. okay. done. save document. exit". But today I was actually reading through some of the old notes and there are like... MULTIPLE places where my comment is basically "It would have been good if it were about elves" or "I wish there was a fantasy show made in this same style" or "It's well made, but I just keep thinking about how I would like it more if everyone was an elf or was in old 1700s costumes" or etc like...... lol.... Most biased media ranking system on earth blatantly made by someone with an extremely hyperspecific range of narrow interests. It'd be like if a food reviewer only had 5 foods they actually liked, so they'd just go to a pizza place and be like "eh, the pizza was okay, but I just think it would be better if it was cereal instead. :/ ...2 out of 10"

If you think of it, many of the people in this fandom keep proving Monoma right and making his character have so much sense- like guys, class 1-B is not the lesser class. They aren't weaker than class 1-A, the classes weren't assigned by strength or anything like that. The only difference between the two classes is that the fucking MC is in one of them, which automatically makes them the center of attention. If Midoriya got assigned to class 1-B then no one would fucking think they're lesser than class 1-A lol.

"How Hagakure/Mineta/whatever got in class 1-A?" girl the question is how they got in the hero course, not class 1-A (which is a talk for another post, not this one). Them being in class 1-A doesn't mean they're automatically stronger than everyone in class 1-B

*me, grabbing you by the lapels and shaking you gently* touya’s ice is not a quirk awakening!!! it is, more or less, a hysterical strength thing!!! aaaaAAAAAAAAAH

[throwaway-yandere]

Classical Conditioning is finished but I have zero fricking clue if I'm making sense I feel like a mad scientist and I am blaming Dottore for my current mental state LMAO

[haunth0use]

Every time I remember that Bakugou got revived on Kirishima’s birthday the more insane it becomes. Like, you CANNOT tell me that wasn’t planned in some way and if that is the case?? That’s too fucking funny to me, I keep giggling about it. Krbks, we so won that day LMFAO.

[seagreenstardust]

The sheer number of people who observe Izuku Midoriya in action for the first time and are immediately astounded at how intelligent, kind, and heroic he is is frankly my favorite thing about MHA

[fluffykitteninabox]

The fact that these are practically the exact same character, but one is rightfully universally hated for being an abusive megalomaniac while the other is being upheld by the fandom as some sort of.... ugh.. "hero" 🤮🤮

All For One easily could've been a power that could be bestowed on others, if there wasn't a twin, or, I don't know, IF ALL FOR ONE WASN'T SO GREEDY ON NUTRIENTS—

Stop using those horrible blandass Fire Emblem characters and Bayonetta!! Such terrible disgraces to society! And you’re reinforcing them! Stop using them or be banned from all video games.

Sweetheart, you should just not follow what you don't like

Learn this early, and life will be easier

Focus on doing your thing/own blog, cuz I won't stop to post about the games I like any time soon

Hope we can be friends, xoxo

[dirt-str1der]

Kazu/maji is soooooo different than sae/maji this is because saejima and majima are best friends who go together everywhere and frequently close the toilet door in each others faces because they keep trying to follow each other inside and the other guys like No. im going to take a shit and kiryu and majima are like guys who are knotting each other every time they meet and conjoined at the groin , like majima will carry kiryus baby and saejima will raise it with him you know what i mean theres a lack of commitment (but no shortage of passion) with majima and kiryu theyre each others one night stand every single night but saejima and him stick with each other through thick and thin come hell or high water

[evilkitten3]

somehow listening to "steal smoked fish" by the mountain goats led me to having twice & magne feels so. that's a thing

anyway the league was right down with hero society yadda yadda yadda

Omg this is so sweet!! I hope you find a nice shiny coin and your fav fic writer posts today and you get a day off work just *because* and someone cooks you your favourite meal!!!
