a flashback triggered by alex's phone call

cause that makes sense

[Sha Noran]

That is a stretch for no reason but being imaginative.

I think that the regression that Tim underwent was an aspect of the Masky state. Apparently there's more to being Masky than just tackling everything.
Remember him frantically saying "Where is it? I knew I left it here!" I think he was looking for his mask.

Maybe Masky is the part of Tim's mind that never forgets his suffering. He's angry and lashes out blindly. He's still limping from the broken leg that healed two years ago. And he's always drawn back to the places that hurt him most: the hospital and Rosswood Park Maybe the sane Tim can only function by walling off what he's been through in some dark corner of his mind...but Masky is the part of him that's also walled off in that corner.

I'm not sure what the significance of the mask itself is. It might be a totem that allows Masky to get into character, so to speak. Or it might be a kind of security blanket.

I mean, I kind of imagined the Operator appearing and teleporting him around triggered his mental change. His actions in the hospital fit, to a tee, what Tim described as his childhood experiences in the hospital, so it clearly is some kind of childhood flashback. Jay also questions why Tim ran off to the hospital in 57 after the Alex attack/Operator appearance in 56, which seems to be for similar child flashback reasons.

But I think Masky may always be some kind of childhood flashback. In 63 Jay mentions to Tim that his medical records, our first piece of information on Tim's childhood, helped him find where Tim ran off to after his seizure in 61. This is because the records say Tim ran off to Rosswood Park as a child, which Tim later admits in 66. And of course it's Masky who ran off there in 62. Plus, Tim does wake up as Masky in 67 after his 66 experience, so there must be some sort of link at the very least.

oh god what if this turns into another tweetapocalypse

[ledzepfilm]

I was thinking just the same thing.

Now I'm all hopeful for a video soon.

Is this Tim's first tweet?

[Master of Octopi]

No, he posted a couple of Tweets before, back in July, when Jay was "out of it."

[Magyk]

One tweet is hardly a sign of a new Twitter Marathon. If anything, it translates to "Hey, sorry the new entry is taking so long! Here's a bone! Who's a good boy!? You are, internet! Yes you are!"

If you get two, maybe three tweets, then we can talk Tweetpocalypse.

Marble Hornets... tweeted?

with the pic, we can assume that Alex will attack soon. I think it'll probably come Thursday. Maybe tonight if we're lucky.
