It will probably be Brian, but I think it would so much better if it was Seth. He has been mentioned in the series just enough so that we haven't forgotten him, but not enough to be thought as a candidate for most viewers.

Why would it be Seth when he was just the boyfriend of Sarah's actress? That'd be pretty shitty, giving some guy the actress knew a main role and demoting the actress to... well, Sarah.

I agree that Totheark is probably Brian, but in response to TheOperator, Trosephim have stated that in Season 1, they didn't really have much of a plan beyond getting cool, scary shots. The story didn't become a big thing until Season 2, so if it is Seth, that could be something they came up with in Season 2.

I said Seth, since I'd like to see that. Brian's still the most likely choice though and I doubt that's gonna change until the reveal itself.

But hey, we all know TTA is really TO right? Wink

"Demoting" assumes that the "actress" was originally going to have more of a role. I'm pretty sure she was just there because she was friends with Troseph, just as Seth was just there because he was her boyfriend. And considering he's already made more appearances in the series proper than Sarah did...

I mean, hypothetically, if he was actually a capable enough actor to justify giving him one of the lead roles, why should not knowing him that well be a problem? It doesn't really matter if they stumbled upon him by accident. Not that I think it's that likely to be Seth, but the events leading to his casting aren't really relevant at all.

And besides, Hoody almost certainly didn't exist at the time they filmed the entry in question. Who knows what might have gone on behind the scenes since then?

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Slightly relevant: I read once that the actor for the main villain of the X-Files was actually just cast as a minor extra in his first few appearances, not intended to even necessarily appear again, before getting promoted to an actual speaking role.


Personally, I don't think it's going to be Seth, not unless they take some time to actually establish the character better in flashbacks or something *before* the reveal. I do think it *should* be Seth, but as it stands it would be like a cheap twist from a bad slasher movie. "The Butler Did It" rarely makes for a satisfying ending. (And no, I do not feel like explaining again that Brian is a better choice for reasons beyond just total screentime.)

I mean, I admit, this isn't a whodunit, and there are no "good" candidates- Brian and Amy are ever-so-slightly better candidates from a writing standpoint than the rest, but neither of them is particularly well fleshed out- the only major characters in this series to begin with are the ones who aren't options anymore (excepting the Future!Jay option.)

TL,DR: It's Brian unless we take enough time to actually develop another candidate to the point where casual viewers will actually remember them (and even if it is Brian it wouldn't hurt to mention/feature him a little more first.) The circumstances behind Seth's casting are not a relevant argument, however.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I'm joking, of course. We all know TTA is Rocky.

Well i kinda have mixed vibes about TTA, cause i know Hoody and Tim are part of it no doubt, but the idea of being multiple people was first brought by Jay back in season one and i don't know who it was that said ''They scrapped that idea''. I'm not sure if it was Trosephim tho.

The thing about Hoody is that he wears a mask/hood whatever, he cannot/doesn't want to comunicate with anyone, therefore he makes videos and uploads them on the TTA account to send messages to Jay, but this doesn't mean he gets any help, but the clues indicate TTA may include several people, but again that idea was scrapped. So i get confused when i think it may be more than two people.

To me anyone that Alex harmed in the past (Except for Jay and Tim) is a pottential Hoody and TTA member, Brian seems to be the most accurate candidate given Tim's past, but it will be dissapointed if everything that TTA does is just accounted to one person

Same here. That's why I voted for Seth originally but all the evidence is pointing at Brian now.

I had a theory that I'm sure plenty of people have had before about TTA being more than one person, and that the style of the TTA videos that are drastically different are made intentionally to differentiate between members of TTA.

A long time ago, I wrote:

I'm more than convinced that ToTheArk is many different people, which has pretty much been confirmed/emphasized by Jay at certain points in the MarbleHornets Twitter. Jay also mentioned that certain TTA responses were inconsistent with each other, and therefore may be made by different people.

I got to thinking... Has anyone ever tried organizing the TTA videos by their style?

I'm almost certain that videos that show blocky text are Hoody's, because of Entry #61's text being accompanied by Hoody throughout the video.

So maybe, using that, we can conclude that the following videos are Hoody's:
-Sidetone (the numbers that flash have that text)
-Intermission
-Indicator
(which makes sense, considering that the baby doll was found where Hoody took Tim and Jay)
-Memories
-Classified
-Sidenote
-Extraction
(likely Hoody's message TO Masky)
-Reminder
-Decay
-Reference
-Isolation
-Display
-Surveillance

-Decline
-Conversion
-File
-Quadrant
-Null


Which would mean that the remaining videos are:
-Regards
-Operator
-Deluge
-Impurity
-Exit
-Program
-Advocate
-Addition
-Signal
-Version
-Attention
-Admission
-Warning
-Fragments
-Broadcast
-Forecast
-Inquiry
-Session
-observation


Going more specifically into style besides just text, the old-timey styles of Inquiry, Session, and observation seem drastically different from the other totheark videos.

Using text is really risky though. Looking at videos like Attention, who's font is almost identical to the Marble Hornets "Entry #" font, some people could assume that Jay made some of those videos. The text similarities there were more likely OOG-errors or something, since it was only season 1 when those videos were made.

So if anything, I feel as though, whoever Hoody actually is, he actually may not be the main holder of the totheark page, because his video count is much less than the entire channel's videos. That's not to say that the "other" TTA videos can't be divided further among more members, but if they aren't, then Hoody may not be totheark... or at least, not the dominant totheark.

Obviously I'm going way too deep into it, but it's a fun idea to toss around.


(This was only written after Surveillance was posted. So it's not up-to-date.)

Who I'd like it to be: Seth, Seth and Brian, or a clever execution of Future Jay (really unlikely)

Who I think it will be: Brian, because Marble Hornets has always been really straightforward and he's the only candidate that wouldn't require a detailed explanation

Whoa, I remember you from posting as early as season 1. Welcome back!
