if i go dark it’s because tommy’s new video is making me experience emotions for the first time in two years.
like, i’m not sure how much crossover there’s gonna be between tommy’s audience and the soothouse ogs, but for those not in the know; this video absolutely reeks of soothouse content.
i’m living in hope that most of yall are at least tangentially aware of soothouse, but on the offchance you’re not, i’ll do my best to explain it. soothouse was the channel wilbur ran and was known for before he got his start as a solo creator. it was a group channel that did content which tommy’s latest video absolutely feels like an homage to. a lot of the people involved in soothouse are still around and still hanging (most notably rhianna, who’s a successful streamer in her own right) and it’s always a bit of a where’s wally because sometimes someone will post a vlog (fundy’s most recent one was good for this) and it’ll be like “hey i know them”. they were one of the big boy channels in the reading reddit genre when that was in its peak back in 2018/19, but we’re essentially the genesis of an entire genre of content that branched away slightly from the reddit mold.
but back on the topic of the “Dreams Comments” video. this latest endeavour from tommy would be completely at home on the Soothouse channel had dream been big back in the day. so to see tommy recording this video with David (original soothouse member) and Jack Manifold (who got his start talking about bread in the soothouse discord server and if you’ve never heard him tell that story then look it up im sure there’s clips (1 mill stream with niki i think he mentioned it?)) is just so special.
