I can't put my finger on it, but the way TTA talks about the ark ("lead me to the ark") makes it seem like the ark isn't a place or a thing. The ark could be something intangible. Also, following the fire/water motifs, the ark could be some sort of oncoming purge, like everyone influenced by the operator being euthanized. I also like the idea of the ark being where to takes people.

This theory falls under the category of a wild guess but what if the ark is some paranormal doodad that gives Alex his anti TO abilities. Something is giving that guy the ability to chase TO around the park when everyone else immediatly hits the ground when they get close to TO.

Shouldn't there be a question mark at the end of the title of this thread?

So I have made a list of everything that ARK is an official abbreviation of.

Archaeological Recording Kit-Not likely but possible

Act of Random Kindness-Not even a possibility

Arkansas-Tothearkansas? probably not

Air Rescue Kit- Again probably not

adhesion-related kinase-Don't know what this is

Alternate Reality Kit- Probably a coincidence but you never know...

Applied Research Knowledge- Maybe...

Archival resource key--Not sure what this is

Aero Link Air Services S.L-Nope

Auto-Refractor Keratometer-Don't think so

IATA code for Arusha Airport, Arusha, Tanzani-Maybe TTA wants to go on holiday

SENIOR HIGH INCOME PORTFOLIO, INC-Probably not

Air Rescue Knife-Again I don't think so

Audubon Refuge Keepers-They must be the key!!!

I don't think the ark is the parallel dimension slendy pulls you into, ala 65, but instead is what houses the parallel dimension.

Imagine, for the sake of simplicity, that Alex found a box in the woods. He opened it up and inadvertently released Slendy into the real world. Bruce, Amy, Jessica, and who knows who else have all been dragged into that box and are trapped inside. So Alex, having lost Amy to it, has hidden the ark somewhere (probably near the tunnel) and has been busy trying to find some way to free her from it and bring her home.
TTA knows about the ark and wants to burn it/lock it up while Slendy is inside, thus ending the TO insanity. Sadly he'd also kill Amy and whoever else might be in there so Alex is fighting against him, therefore being an 'ally' of TO while not technically being on TO's side either.

The end of the series would probably consist of Alex or Hoodie willingly luring TO into the ark so the others can destroy it, thus being trapped with Slendy forever.

...Imagine Amy and Alex together in the Oppy forest for all eternity.

No worries, it's easy to mix up TTA's various ramblings. And, given how late we are in the series and how little they've really discussed the Ark, my money's on it being either the Dark World we saw in 65 or one of the characters (though its nature and purpose eludes me either way.)

Perhaps the ark is a person who the operator wants. Alex knows it wants someone, so he brings them to it one at a time, and each time it's not satisfied. Once the ark is surrendered to the operator it will stop stalking people. That would make totheark a bit of a dick, but slightly less dangerous than Alex.

Every Entry that comes out just makes me more confident that the ark is the pocket dimension where TO takes people, which we saw in 65. It seems like if they made it something else at this point it would be a lame duex ex machina plot device.

Ok in my Language (Norwegian) Ark means Paper. So is TTA talking about some papers or something?

I still think the ark is just a metaphor for "safety from the operator"

We've seen all these water references in his videos and it's supposed to obviously represent the storm that led noah to have to put the animals on the ark. The water represents the danger (the operator)


In broadcast, the water could be a reference to something we see in entry 65. If the operator has tried to drown tim before, he may have done it to others. It would explain the "are you drowning" quote. Alternatively, that quote can be a reference to the collapse of one's lungs caused by the operator.

I'm inclined to believe the coughing up blood is from lung damage, also shown by one of the earlier totheark videos that shows a lung being compressed and expanded. The collapse of a lung would feel similar to drowning.



If the ark was a physical place, then totheark is implying that Jay knows where it is shown by "he will lead me to you, lead me to death, lead me to the ark" - if this is true and Jay doesn't have any footage of it or memory of it, it becomes a useless plot device. To tie the above quote into the metaphor, if he's talking about alex, then "he will lead me to you" means he will use Jay to find Alex (which he has) - "lead me to death" means he knows there is potential death involved with going up against alex - "lead me to the ark" means if they can get rid of alex they will finally be safe

If totheark doesn't know where it is, then most likely nobody does, as he's proven time and time again that he knows more about the situation than anyone we've seen. That's why I think it has to just be a metaphor
