Bah. I knew it. I was being bitter about the sparsity of videos in recent days.

Probably said many many times, and I'm just throwing out random stuff here and there. Obviously we don't know who TTA is (though plenty of you are pointing at Seth), but, as I said I just am the type of person who throws out their thoughts.

"human. can not be trusted"

Alex said they were gone, right? We take this as dead, or they just plain old left. Well, by "gone" I'm going to say he meant that they just left. Left him in a time of need; although we don't know that they all knew that it was his time of need, but this could cause him to lose trust. The more I think of it the less and less possible it gets but, I'm just saying, what if he thought every human would be like this? Just to leave him.

As for Seth, this one sort of makes a bit more sense. Alex, we assume, either left him, or this is just what Seth thinks. Left him to be injured, possibly killed. This could have triggered some thoughts that..hmm...that, well, if he got attacked, they'd run. Which I know tons of people who would leave someone for their own lives.

(End random thoughts here.)

I don't think seth is dead. If slendy is the killing type then i don't think alex would just go into slendy's lair. He would have gone to the police if there was a death.

You can't just hide them you know.

Don't think he would have gone to the police, tbh.
He would be the first suspect, specially with how he had been acting.
Yeah, the tapes would have showed Slendy, but, who would they believe really. I mean, you have to remember, in the MH world - it's like real life. You can't storm in to a police station IRL and be like "HAY GUIZ! DEMONICPARANORMALTHING DRESSED LIKE A BUSINESS MAN KILLED MAH FRIEND! AND I IS LIKE CRAZY!" with out being locked up.

I think if anything, Seth got knocked the fuck out, and Alex bolted after not being able to find him. (It was dark, and if he had moved at all or anything, it would have been hard to find him - maybe.)

i still stick to this being in the past as well. I've ran the ideas of 'this is present Alex filming.' through my head most of the day, and they just don't seem to match up at all.

Where the hell is TTA when we need him?
And I'm not talking about that guest account trying to gamejack. Neutral

I thought it was a big fuckin' no-no to get on UF as a puppetmaster and jerk us about. I call either game jack or ill-advised shennanigans.

I seriously don't think that after all of this, the crew behind MH would come post here in character. It's most likely a gamejack. When was TTA known to spout out ill-capitalized words? He's much more cryptic than that. Even if it was simple binary, for fuck's sake.

Probably just a bored, lonely /b/tard coming to stir up a reaction.

I've always wondered this. Why must TTA be so cryptic/hide his identity?

TTA has to be so cryptic because the idea of knowing about slendy brings him to you. If someone wants answers and decides to take that dive down the rabbit hole by deciphering his 'clues', then it's of their own accord, he can rest easy knowing he didn't directly doom them.

@Nospr - It wouldn't matter how cryptic he was. If Slendy wanted him, he'd get him. The more you know about slendy, the more doomed you are, regardless of whether or not you're cryptic about it.

That's assuming that the man in the suit is the same slenderman as the mythos.

I think that the videos are made for Jay but totheark doesn't want Jay to contact him. He wants to be outside of the slenderman mess but found Jay's videos. I think totheark is only trying to help.

Hey Guys, first time poster here. Just going to throw out a theory.

I think that the videos are meant for Jay, with the exception of "Messages". I'm a firm believer in the Alex is totheark theory. However, I do not believe that masky is Alex or Totheark.

I think that the masked guy is Tim, as shown by the Jacket worn in #19 and #20. I also think that Masky, messed up totheark's plan in #18.

After Jay fights with the Masky, and throws him down, the camera starts to move backward rapidly. Why would Jay run backwards instead of just turning? I think that Alex was in the house with him, grabbed him, and pulled him away from the Masky. Then as Jay was running out the door, Alex caught him and held him down, then gave him one of the pills, which made him forget what had happened (or so I believe.)

Now, in "Messages", I think that Alex knows that Tim has something to hide. Hence the Audio and Video distortion around tim. (See audio distortion in #20 and the video distortion on Tim's shadow in #17.) So Alex, knew that Tim was going to go find J, which is why the video ends by saying "Smile for the camera".

As it says that, a face fades in, now I have yet to scan through the 300 something pages on the trailhead, but has anyone pointed out that the face that fades in at the end, looks a lot like Tim? Specifically in the Jaw line and sideburns?

Just some thoughts of mine.
