IMHO, It's very likely that Tim is not TTA, however he is the best lead we have so far.

I'd just like to summarize what we know as fact about Masky, to make sure the various theories at least address them, and do not contradict them.

1. Masky is Tim.
2. Tim is not healthy, he coughs, takes pills, and has had at least one seizure.
3. Masky is antipathetic to Alex to the point of stabbing him.
4. Masky does not talk.
5. Masky has an unknown interest in Jay.

These are just some simple things to build theories on. I don't think its a great idea to imagine that Masky has any supernatural powers, or is under the influence of any, until we get some evidence that's the case. Not saying that any of these theories are wrong, just that I prefer to rest on the simplest theory until better evidence comes to light.

So at this point I think the simplest theory is that Tim has become ill to the point of insanity, and for unknown reasons he needs to find/follow Jay.

It is also noteworthy that at the end of the Signal video are the words "Come back" and "Find me", followed directly by J going back to the house and finding Tim. Really the majority of the audio excerpt from "Silent Snow, Secret Snow" was eerily relevant to J's future interactions with Tim, particularly "Just wait 'till we're alone together and I'll show you something new".

The Twitpic is always the one that trips me up, too. The hoodie pulled tight (why would you hide those glorious sideburns if you really are Tim?), not to mention the hoodie instead of the jacket. It is probably the most compelling evidence for "Masky does not always equal Tim." At the very least, it still looks like the same mask, so it does tend to point away from the multiple maskys theory (ish?).

I'm starting to subscribe to the theory that Tim is friendly and Alex is TTA.

Masky is notoriously bad at attacking Jay, but he managed to stab Alex. The distortion in entry 36 couldn't have been caused by Masky or the Operator. J is left a note with the safe combination, Tim then waits for him to put the tapes in his bag before scaring him off rather than stop him or hurt him(he could have possibly been trying to scare him away from the house during the first attack). But whereas Tim seems to be trying to lead J towards answers, Alex seems to be trying to get J off of the trail of something.

Of course, a hole in this theory is that Tim could have just talked to J about the Operator and Alex from the beginning civilly without wearing a mask.


EDIT: Also Tim is a crossdresser and Jessica is one of his disguises. It all makes sense now.
