Basically, crazy shit is going down nearly constantly, and they're not always things that we hear about from Jay through the Entries, but this could serve as an IG reason for the delay between updates. You have to feel bad for the guy if you imagine things like the Tweetpocalypse and other mental bombardments might be happening to him all the time.

Entry #20:

After the distortion (1:12 - 1:14) is over with...

Jay: "That's a whole lot of power to give someone like him." *points at Alex*
Alex: "Yeah, you know uhh. Pretty much everyone's at risk, it's a terrifying place."

I may be sensing a note of sarcasm in his voice, but maybe we're meant to take it for what it is.

What could he be referring to by "terrifying place"? Rosswood Park perhaps? (inb4 ROSSWOOD P4Rk? SEASON1??! NOWAIIII1!!!1!1) but yeah, THAT would make things interesting.


Btw, I've been journeying back into season one very thoroughly, in case anyone hadn't noticed. It's always been my belief that Season 1 is all about showing and Season 2 is all about telling.


I rewatched, and I think he's just goofing around. I don't think it's meant to be taken seriously.

However -- that damned painting. It's a forest on fire. In entry what -- 32? 36? Whatever -- Alex takes J into that creep-o-zoar forest and tells him a story about poor people tied to trees and burned. But the house and painting are Brian's. (That couch is also the couch turned over and tossed about when J goes to the house and is first tackled by Timasky.) So... maybe Brian and Timasky -really- were in it together but somehow/way/etc Tim's gone off the deep end. Or Maybe Brian is the brain (HEY! BRIAN IS AN ANAGRAM FOR BRAIN! <--MYSTERY SOLVED!), and Tim is the enforcer (HEY! TIM IS AN ANAGRAM FOR -- Fuck. Nevermind.). So far, Timmy's only really hurt Alex. He's only tried to perhaps subdue (and therefore perhaps subsequently abduct) J. Maybe J should let them, and see what happens. Maybe it's because Alex isn't on their team, or maybe in a war like this -- Alex is just gonna have to be a casualty. Maybe Alex is in too deep and the Masked Marauders are trying to extract J before it's too late. Maybe they've already saved Jessica, and that's why she's gone from the room when J goes to find her.


The bolded text. All the way.

 		I think it's safe to say that, at the very least, Tim is completely fucking insane

Tim is an anagram for MIT... which has made significant contributions to the research of cybernetics, robotics and artificial intelligence... ipso facto, Slender Man is a robot.

Also an anagram for TMI... so maybe Tim is absorbing "too much information", or memories, from the other characters... or he knows too much information and that's why he was targeted by Slender Man in the first place...

CONSPIRACIES!!

 		I really thought that Brian/Brain thing was gonna crack this case. Confused

All sarcasm aside, I do maintain that Tim and TTA (who I think is Brian) were working together, and that for some reason (probably Tim's wacky insanity) they do not always operate on the same page. Maybe Tim's so crazy because HE actually goes out into situations and does all the leg work, while Brian sits wherever he is and from the safety of his tinfoil room edits video and tries to get J to do the right thing and go the right way. I would submit to you that though Hoody (who I think is TTA) has recently gotten involved personally -- that that is due mostly to Tim's inability to not go off the ranch and his smooshed knee.

From an OOG perspective:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I think it makes a better story if the characters (like people) are shades of grey. That though TTA may be a "good guy" he doesn't always do the "lawful good" thing to get his ends to justify his means. Sometimes he's gonna make poor decisions. And maybe he's a little crazy. That doesn't make him less of a protagonist. I think the same thing about Alex, but in reverse. I think that though Alex may be masquerading as a protagonist that his motives have shifted and that he is not necessarily a "good guy" anymore. Since nothing about MH is sloppy or as easy as black and white -- I suspect that this is more likely. I also think that though there may be clues in the videos that if we're meant to know something about this story in advance -- that it will be presented in a way that the majority of us will be able to grasp and understand and put toward our viewing of the next video. That doesn't mean however I don't think that looking for clues is fun or a way to kill time between videos. It also doesn't mean that I don't want to TRY and align the planets.


I read an interview with the creators of HappyTown, and they said they polled the 200ish people on the crew and that of that number, only 3 people guessed who the Magic Man was. 3. I suspect that MH is gonna go similarly. That though there are these clues -- there are so many that we've probably just dreamed up, or that we've misinterpreted, or told someone else they're wrong about -- that we've probably shot ourselves in the foot somewhat in trying to align the planets and put 'em together just so.

But for me, that's what makes this all fun, and kills the (seemingly) loooong wait between videos. Smile

 		I was listening to an interview with the MH guys, where they discussed the different schools of thought on writing; Joseph had the mindset that it's more about the entire journey than having a mind-blowing ending, and it sounded like Troy kind of disagreed. When I think about how the series could end, it makes me wonder which of those mentalities might dominate, and if there are less definitive "clues" than we think there are. You know what I mean? Not to discredit anyone, or any details people are picking up, you never know what could be significant.

My thoughts exactly. I think it's great how everyone here has their own collective thoughts on who's who, what's what, those types of things.

In terms of the ending being brought up, do you guys think we will see an Entry #50? Do you think they'll wrap it up earlier? Later?

I say Entry #49 will be the final of entries.

..taking bets naow. Winner of said bet wins $20.

No. I think S2 will be just as long, if not longer than S1. Assuming that, we have at least nine more entries to go.

The past few TTA videos lead me to believe critical danger-- perhaps even death is imminent.

I agree. Judging by his last few responses, TTA is becoming more and more impatient, and, if we conclude that TTA is Hoody, has been feeling frustrated enough to make personal appearances on the scene since at least 7 months ago. Who knows exactly what the next step might be, from his point of view.

So Warning, Entry #####, Operator, Fragments and Return didn't give the same feeling, despite being in S1 (with the exception of Fragments, although that was the beginning of S2)?

Furthermore, we have
-What's going on at Rosswood park?
-Who is Hoody?
-Who is TTA?
-What happened to Tim after the broken leg incident?
-What happened to Tim after the hotel incident?
-What's special about the Red Tower?
-What's up with Alex?
-Where does Jessica come into the story?
-What happened to Jessica at the hotel?
-Why is Tim doing what he's doing?
-Why is TTA doing what he/she/it's doing?
-What is the ark?
-What/Who is The Operator?
-What does The Operator want?
-How do the characters defeat/escape The Operator?
-What happened to Brian?
-What happened to Seth?
-What happened to Amy?
-What is the significance of the bathhouse?
-Why did Jay lose seven months of his memory?
-Where is Alex now?

And this can all be answered in six more entries, plus TTA responses? I don't think so, Tim.

Also:

What is up with Brian's house?
What does the key go to?
What is the significance of the masks?
What are the pills that were found in Brian's house? Ditto for the bullet casing.
How did the tape that became Entry #22 end up in the Red Tower?
What is the significance of the constant presence of cameras amongst our heroic heroes besides outright paranoia?


There is definitely going to be a Season Three.

 		What will happen after J finishes reviewing the tapes? Will he search for Alex like he did in S1?

 		Watched entry #29 again.

Where is the video tape for entry #29's handheld camera? Whomever is carrying the chest cam is also carrying Jay's handheld. Which means that there are two simultaneous sets of footage for the tunnel search.

The handheld might have more context for this event.
