I used to make tommanifold posts back when they would lightly flirt with one another but now that Tom has started saying things like "if I were in a time loop I'd think I'd spend every day seeing what it'd take to get you to sleep with me" I think it's time we revisit
SHUT UP I'M TALKING! HONESTY EDITION: WEEK OF 6/21
WMOTW:
Jack went to a quite shit viewing of Backrooms where the film was too big for the screen, and the staff did not do anything about it for ten minutes so he left to complain and got a refund.
Tom went to a stand-up gig, had the guy before him make an ass bleeding joke, and nearly had a panic attack thinking about it happening to him. He went on stage, flubbed for a few moments, and then the nervousness of being in front of the crowd snapped him out of it.
HONESTY!!!:
Jack says he did not cheat.
Tom & Jack both crashed their cars last week. Tom messed up someone else's car so horribly he left his phone number. Jack crashed into a bollard.
Tom gets a very personal attack by a viewer who calls him out for leaving events early. Tom concedes the viewer may have a point but mostly gets really defensive over it.
Tom admits he & Tubbo were never legally married. It wasn't until Tubbo lied about being legally married on stream that Tommy decided to roll with it & pretend as well.
Tom & Jack discuss the balance between playing a character and being yourself, and the disconnect or perhaps the too-close overlap between the two.
Harry got stopped by airport security because he had his belt on, then proceeded to say "Oh it's just my massive weapon" to the American TSA agents.
Tom & Jack would choose to put Peanut Butter and lick all of it off Freddie, as a team.
Tom rings up people and tells them to apologize to him after a fight.
The biggest argument Tom & Jack had was in 2020 when they both wanted to talk about their YouTube careers to each other but neither wanted to listen, Jack was better about it then Tom tho.
Tom would give Jack dreadlocks if he could do anything with his hair to watch Jack go crazy trying to blame him for it.
JUST BROS!!!:
Jack was not aroused by DT.
Jack admits that, what he has found out from his experience, is that he literally cannot maintain an erection if he hears/sees Tommy. My only guess was that he was either putting on a video as bg noise or he was trying to jack off to someone else in that video. Either way I'm stumped.
Jack concedes to sometimes thinking about Tom's HJ offer but "being repulsed by it". Tom has had gay thoughts about Jack and admits he could still maintain a conversation with Jack while having sex.
If Tom was in Jack's body he would "use his sex appeal" and marry a rich lady. If Jack was in Tom's body he would use it to get more career & fun opportunities.
If Tom & Jack were the last people on Earth and could reproduce together, Tom would carry the baby despite his fears because he would make a better mother than Jack.
I KNOW it's clickbait but unfortunately I am a simple gal with simple needs. I have to wait 12 hours to watch this, never let it be said I am not incredibly patient.
Tom "got stood up" in the rain by an injured baby fox he "established a feeding routine with" after paying for some expensive roast chicken. He got sick.
Jack paid four euro for a very painful & aggressive massage chair after his flight was delayed.
TwitchCon:
Jack had Tom strip to film on the beach for the pre-recorded segments of the live show.
The audience was very silent, and during the confession segment Jack had to go through 3 people before he found someone willing to participate.
Tom wasn't even traveling when this was going on (iirc when they originally talked about this event it was going to be a FaceTime thing? idk when plans changed) he was just at home sick (bc of waiting in the rain for the fox) and with significant mouth pain.
Jack met an interesting security guard who got really excited everytime the metal detector beeped on Jack.
Animals:
Tom made an Alpaca sex noise and Jack sincerely complimented it.
Tom respects that animals have sex for very short periods of time.
Jack would bring his family dog with him to the barber as a kid, and the barber's small dog would get turned on and always hump his dog. Yes Jack's dog was always the bottom.
Jack's Aunt's dog is very big and has a humping issue and one time tackled his grandpa, pinned him down, and humped him for 10 minutes straight. Grandpa was too embarrassed to call anyone.
Viewer Gift:
A viewer made a clip compilation and another made a very accurate diorama of the SUIT set and an even smaller version of it to go inside of it.
Water:
Tom got so irritated complaining about their new water bottles and tried to demonstrate how much they suck that he ended up spilling water on the mic and pants (trousers.) He spent the rest of the episode in his underwear (pants) with a tea towel over his crotch.
Random:
When Jack was in the train station he saw a guy who asked an employee if he would get in trouble if he jumped the gate, the guy said no, and the guy jumped over and walked in and set off the alarms lmao.
Jack's bowels have been a mess lately, and he has a family history of Crohn's and he in detail describes the fecal matter test he had to do as well as when the lady messed up taking his blood and had to do it a second time (he's wearing 2 bandages in the vid lol). The results of the test were not great lol.
Tom & Jack spend a stupid amount of time arguing over what's the best app. Jack initially says Angry Birds. Tom's list goes as follows: Settings, Notes, & Photos. They argue over whether the camera app is any good since you need the photos app to even open the photos. Tom admits to being the kind of guy who just messes with his settings at the dentist's office.
The first time Tom got turned on/felt horny was when he was reading a Spiderman comic and Spidey saved Mary Jane.
rocky's crew dying from radiation exposure, something humans go to great lengths to prevent and are very scared of and grace's crew dying in their "sleep" with nobody watching, something eridians go to great lengths to prevent and are very scared of. cool book that is easy to read through your tears.
Going to start making posts about each week's podcast because boy is their community DEAD on here.
Tom still can't make a smoothie & Jack continues making strange eye contact with strangers
It's funny that Tom & Jack do different things with Harry, Jack does the big trips while Tom does the weird side quests
The Jack's stopped drinking section being the shortest section LMAO
Unironically love how Tom & Jack are big nature people, I wish they had more time while in the US to see more of the national parks!
The Date argument LMAOOO always crazy to think about how despite them getting better exercise & a better social life than most they still have such limited consumption of produce
The Hello Fresh sponsor... well it was a matter of time but it's so funny they can't ever take themselves seriously whether it's advertising Tom's book or a meal service company
Also if anyone has the access to the patreon vids lmk bc kemono does not let them load :(
The “Lady” in the name “ladybug” is the virgin Mary. People just cannot stop giving religious names to this bug.
The reason for this was that if you lived in an agrarian society then your survival was a throw of the dice every year, depending on the success of the crops. A failed crop year is a very hard year where deaths are expected. And if you grew a cereal like wheat, there were several things that could cause your crops to fail, but one of the big ones was if you happened to get a fuckton of aphids. You know what eats aphids? Ladybugs! If there are lots and lots of ladybugs around, there was a good chance that it’d be a good crop year! They were little crop protectors! When your family lives or dies on the success of that crop, of course they’d be seen as a blessing and given an appropriate name!
in (formal) arabic it's da'sooquah which it's speculated may come from the persian word for little shoemaker (referring to the markings on it's back).
in my parent's dialect it's sandoq' an nabeey which means The Prophet's Trunk/Little Box (also a reference to it's back).
