 		If this theory is true, the enttry #37 wasn't footage of Slender Man stalking Alex in the past, the reason it looked like the Operator was edited into the video because it was him bursting through time in that space basically saying "Hey, look what I can do".

But I agree with the Operator not being a ward. I mean, as a kid I could imagine why you would think so, it's the same reason boys write "No girls allowed"; they think it will stop them physically entering.

 		I like this theory a lot. I mean, lets presume that instead of time being a predefined line showing how things should happen in the order that they should happen it is a cuboid grid.Most beings only being able to walk on one plane or "level" of this grid they are unaware of the up and down parts (however we are inevitably going slowly upwards) The up being "The future" and down being "the past"

Now imagine a being able to traverse the "levels" of this grid.This being is, of course, good ol' Slendy

We have seen evidence of Slendy breaking the "rules" of time and space travel. For example in EverymanHYBRID when the climb into the small hole that the rake had been entering alex's bedroom from. They entered, crawled and immediatly found themselves miles away,later in the day in a place they had encountered their adversaries before (Forgive me if I'm wrong, jetlag has made me think this through poorly)
So what if The Operator transported them in ways that are normally impossible to an ordinary race such as ours?



meh, just a thought

The only problem with this is the Operator is Marble Hornets's Slender Man. They aren't the same Slender Man. Every series has its own except for a lot of the blogs share canon. In series like EMH where they strive to have their own story in their own continuity, it is not really fitting to call their Slender Man the Operator.

That and that theory has nothing to do with Operator Symbols. >.>

I think the symbol denotes his target, his chosen stalkees.

I was merely thinking of the method of travel and the way time is ordered to allow his passing through periods. I think the operator symbols themselves are "summoning points" so to speak. For instance in MyDarkJournal ( which is weird as hell and slightly disturbing) the unnamed psychopathic slendy worshiper seems to successfully summon him with a ritual involving carving his symbol into a table. (Which seems a bit stupid to me but the gesture is the same) Also TribeTwelve, when noah went up onto the tower there were various messages with the (X) on them. In fact every lesser vlog seems to use the symbol as something malicious rather than a ward. Marble hornets is harder to guess, but my theory on the (X) appearing on Alex's face is that he was marking him yet also showing off that he could navigate time at will (also maybe if he marks a victim with this method he can go to them in any time period thereafter). I understand there will be vlogs where this doesn't apply but it's just a thought (and my last post was written while falling into jetlag induced sleep, sorry)

 		I feel like it has more to do with invoking his presence rather than warding him at least in the blog universe, Starting with Seeking Truth where the child references it and now that M is missing ( as far as i know?). Also everything OP posted was awesome!

 		I think people might be reading to much into things. First time I saw it I just assumed it was a warning someone crudely scrawled in their insanity depicting a head with the face "crossed out", rather than having any special power.

 		I really like this theory. It makes so much sense, but then it doesn't. It is so confusing. lol the time stuff gets me, but I think what you have going is really creative and plausible.
