theres something about ash not speaking in his vlogs which creates such a peaceful atmosphere :) i feel nice after watching them because it makes life look so relaxing and joyful

[@amory2104]

exactly!! like it makes you feel connected because us as fans can’t actually interact with any of them as well, so it feels more authentic to be able to sit and watch them like if we were actually there, and it was to us specifically

[@themaster1147]

I've heard him speaking tho

[@obsidiaan]

Okay but the tune for figuring out concrete is really cool And imagining Taunt music video without audio and it just being a Silent room is honestly just amazing so seeing that people were laughing is great

Ash’s videos are so calming and comforting. For some reason, it gives the feeling of finding an old camera and going through the videos, watching each year go by

[@linnearane]

I love Ash's videos because they feel so nostalgic and so real. they don't feel performative or glorified, they're just like a video diary capturing simple yet happy moments in his day to day life. they really help me appreciate living life and remember to look for the good in every day. thank u Ash

[@heqrtamyy]

No clue how George kept it together during the Taunt video. Absolutely shocks me because he always laughs so much in his stream/videos. I’m would’ve burst out laughing instantly.
