 		does anyone else think that slendy's distortion was "off", or different? I feel like most of his occurences are similar, where as this one has a high pitch scream and flipping of video...it makes me think that the operator is actually pissed at Alex for killing someone at random...

 		The unique distortion is similar to noentry as well. It may be that this tunnel is, indeed, the ark. This is where the Operator likes to take his prey. Maybe.

Neat idea. As far as the scream goes, it could just be audio distortion, but if we want to assume it's a scream, we know that Slendy distorts space and memory in some fashion. Theoretically, that means that Slendy distorts time, reality, or both. It could be assumed that the accompanying screaming could be that of the victim or other victims that might have happened in the past.

Also, remember Alex's Slenderman ghost story in Entry 38? If Slendy's some form of ghost who murdered people in the woods, specifically emotional manifestations could generate screams.

 		It looks like our ol' pal Jay is in for a heck of a fight upon his next appearance.

But I just realized that maybe the Rock to the leg of Tim and TiMasky showing alex the rock in Entry 46 seems a lot more important now. Maybe The Rock is Alex/Oppy's weapon of choice?

That plus the whole "Next time I see you ILL KILL YOU!" Thing seems more like The Operator talking than Alex. Meaning that The Big O has plans for the rest of the cast already...

I definitely agree that "Alex with the The Rock in the Woods" is clearly a modus operandi. Tim/Masky's deal with the rock indicates that he knows what's going on. Remember how both Maskies ran away from the Distortion we all know and love as Slendy before Tim got the chance to bash Alex's head in. It happened right after he brought the rock down once next to his head and then Alex's voice when all distorty (note: it sounded very much like the voice saying "Happy Birthday Alex" in the home movie episode).

I theorize that Slendy is kind of like reality origami. When somebody has a certain amount of stress they call his attention (Season 1 was all about Alex running from Slendy, rather than working with him) and he starts appearing quietly in the background. As the stress that Slendy causes increases, the subject of his hunting becomes more and more a manifestation of Slendy and goes about the process of getting paranoid and murdering tons of people.

We know that connection with Slendy and/or Masky causes you to teleport against your will and lose time. The seamless way this is shown, sometimes, makes me think that reality is folding around the Slendy victims, much like a a funnel spider's web. Now, what if Alex decided that Slendy's abilities could be of use to him instead of a trap? Sounds plausible to me.

I like this theory. Maybe we'll get proof in the next TTA video.

 		Like Cutboy I knew a murder had to happen at some point, but to think that Alex'd be the one to do it caught me off guard a bit. That was a pretty good entry, I must say. This can't be the finale, though. I hope it's not. It shouldn't be.

Btw I doubt Bruce had any real relevance. He was simply used as a means to showcase the fact that Alex is pretty much fucking insane now. (All this time questioning the blood in the tunnel and it may not even have belonged to a relevant character. Laughing )

 		Well, this is my first post and I'm gonna try and make it good. I'll admit I didn't read every post but i got most of them and I thought I'd give you guys my theory on Entries 29, 38 and 49.

So, Alex is being controlled by the Operator and TO needs to feed off of people (for what reason, idk) and TO wants Jay in particular cuz Jay knows so much and TO wants to get rid of him. So TO makes Alex return to Rosswood over and over again until Jay eventually follows him. Jay being the awful stalker that he is easily gives himself away to Alex who knows what's going on but is so insane and weak compared to TO's power that he can only mutter "Don't follow me" in a lame attempt at trying to save Jay.

Then Jay follows him to the tunnel and when Alex looks behind him and sees Jay run off I think he is relieved that Jay ran away cuz then Jay will be safe. But of course Alex can't go anywhere cuz Slendy has him set on autopilot to kill Jay. So when Bruce shows up Alex is so nuts by this point that he thinks it's Jay and yells "I TOLD YOU NOT TO FOLLOW ME!" and kills him cuz he was on Slendy autopilot to kill whoever showed up at the tunnel.

So Alex kills him and leaves and then TO shows up and is like "WTF, where's Jay? Oh well, I'll just take this guy for now." So TO still wants Jay so he has Alex call him to directly lure Jay to the tunnel.

Cue Entry 38. Jay shows up and Alex is leading him to the tunnel and telling him creepy stories (for whatever reason) and when Jay goes to switch tapes Alex (actually TO) decides to kill Jay then cuz it will avoid being caught on tape. Alex assaults Jay but Jay escapes and tries to flee.

Cue Entry 29. Jay is running through Rosswood getting chased by Alex and ends up at the tunnel. He looks at the blood and the rock wondering what happened there and then TO shows up thinking that Alex killed Jay and that's why Jay is at the tunnel.

Now this part gets a little sketchy. Once the Operator appears as himself he no longer has control over Alex so then Alex shows up at the other end of the tunnel and TO thinks "Oh crap, Jay isn't dead and Alex is here. I can't consume Jay without using Alex to kill him first," and instead just wipes his memory. Then Alex somehow gets Jay out of there and puts him in the hotel and puts all the tapes in the safe in hopes that Jay will find them and be able to make sense of everything and somehow stop TO and save Alex. How Jessica is involved, idk.

 		@distortianscream: I remember a few entries back, when Alex did whatever he did with Slenderman in the woods, for a moment you can hear what sounds like little kids talking.

I think Jay goes to Alex's apartment the next day, and waits for him to leave, knowing that he'll be gone for awhile to wait at the park he uses his stolen spare key to raid his house of cameras and tapes (for lunch).

⊗r

He goes to the park, shit gets fucked up Jessica (who was hiding on the side as back up/witness) saves him and they run to Alex's steal his shit. They go to a hotel to figure it out and wake up the next day Slendorrific.

 		@BeastNoob: Well, we know Jessica is involved with Amy's disappearance. Maybe he called her to let her know what was going on or for back up with Alex?

Ahh, those images was what I was hoping for!

I'm completely with you now, and I retract my previous "Alex was in Entry #29" theory. However, I still believe it's a deliberate reference. Alex was shown in that exact stance twice for extended periods of time, and it's very similar to how the Operator stands, not just in Entry #29 but in many others. So even though I now am back to thinking Entry #29 is the Operator, I still think Alex's stance was NOT a mistake or coincidence, it's gotta be on purpose.

EDIT: Also, when initially watching the video, I was sure Alex's "Don't follow me" was to Slendy, trying to get rid of him, and then his "I TOLD YOU NOT TO FOLLOW ME" was him freaking out and thinking Bruce was Slendy. But... the rest of the video really doesn't support that theory, especially with Slendy taking the body (which implies Alex killed Bruce for Slendy, whether he was directly under Slendy's control or not). So I think I'm in the talking-to-Jay camp. Maybe he was under Slendy's control but trying to fight it, hence why he could only talk in a whisper.

If Slendy was controlling Alex at that point, though, I'm not sure he was deliberately targeting Jay. Alex may have figured it was Jay, but maybe Slendy was just going for whoever he could get to, perhaps as part of drawing Alex deeper under his control, and figured he could get Jay later? In the woods, in Entry #38?
