I was thinking more like.

TIM: *step* Owie! *step* Owie! *step* Owie!

THE GIMP: *Snickers and continues filming.*

TIM: *step* Owie! Not funny, dude! *step* Owie! Seriously! *step* Owie! Give me back my crutches already! *step* Owie!


I like your version better.

Tim is commenting on how much Jay hates Alex now for murdering that guy, he's saying that he'll hate him even more for whatever reason.
Many people seem to be taking this as an obvious interpretation, but I don't buy it. I haven't seen anything approaching hate from Jay. His anger with Alex in earlier entries seems to be based in aggravation or annoyance. Nothing Jay has said since discovering #49 has indicated that he hates Alex now for what he saw, either. The emotions Jay does show feel very restrained to me. I think it's more likely that tta is saying to Jay, "Where is your reaction?! Did you not just see your friend kill someone?" Tta is either telling Jay to hate Alex (ala Darth Vader) or chastising and rejecting him for not doing so already. "You can't do what needs to be done. I hate him. I can."

 		Yeah, J hasn't indicated any emotion towards what Alex did. Plus, he of all people would know how much slenderpants can influence a person, so he may even be giving Alex the benefit of the doubt.
I don't think an actual message can be derived from this latest video as of now. A lot of what totheark says may not actually pertain to J's circumstances at all. The languge totheark uses and the way it's images are presented, to me, make the totheark guys just look like psychopaths.
By that I mean their videos, and the imagery and wording therein, may make perfect logical sense to them, but be incomprehensible to normal people.
On the other hand, I do think the videos sometimes convey raw emotion. The Fragments video, for instance, I always saw as Tim expressing his anger at J for whacking him with the maglite and leaving the hotel room with the tapes. "You are broken. You cannot be fixed" may not mean anything specific at all beyond being a means to taunt J.
Same with Extraction, I think Tim is once again expressing his rage at the harm that's been done to him in the only way his twisted mind can.

I very much agree. Just about the only thing I can tell definitively are (a) tta is PISSED, and (b) the eye means tta watched #49 as it happened. And the latter is still just my opinion; it's being debated here. I've been mulling over the significance of the title "Extraction," and there are just too many possibilities to settle on one. Here's a sampling:

- Bruce was extracted from existence. (Henceforth known as the Todd theory in my mind.) Tta is telling Jay why he can't find a missing persons report. If this is true, note that he doesn't include anyone else who has disappeared. If tta knows others have been erased--Seth, Brian, Amy, or Jessica--why aren't shots of them used in this video too? They're bigger players in the story than Bruce. And, although I rather like the Todd Theory, I can see some pretty big holes there.
- Hoody, aka Bruce, was extracted from tta via rocksmash. This theory assumes that (a) Bruce is more than just a random passerby, and (b) the maskies are in fact tta. By showcasing his limp, Tim is associating his injuries with Bruce/Hoody's. Then he follows it with an expression of hate and righteous indignation. "How much do you hate? It is not enough." = "I hate Alex more than you ever could. He has stolen from me."
- Extraction refers to something taken out of the footage we've seen in #20, #49, or #50. We and/or Jay are missing critical information. This could also refer to the second part of #38.
- [Cue Jay's Extraction] Jay was extracted from a dangerous situation via memory wipeage by tta or the masked men. This is in effect saying "Look what Alex has done. He permanently damaged Tim. We saw him kill someone. We took you out for your own good. This is the reason."
- Alex has been extracted, via killing or vanishing, by tta or the maskies.
- Alex was extracted from existence by The Operator as a result of his actions in #49. The last two explain why Alex isn't around.

The wheels, they spin.

 		I believe someone mentioned this already but I'll just say it again.
Downloaded the frames someone posted a few pages ago and I found something interesting in the seconds in which Bruce can be seen.
At first it seems to be Bruce fighting Alex and the latter seemingly throwing him to the ground, but then Bruce's face and body lose focus and only his shirt can be seen, oddly getting smaller and smaller until it resembles a crumpled shirt. Kinda seems to support the erase-from-existance theory.

 		Doesn't this show, that Alex is nuts?
I mean, Timasky walks with his injured leg.
Then, he shows us how Alex killed Bruce.
What I'm thinking is - Tim is showing Jay, that Alex is nuts - He almost killed him (Tim), and he killed Bruce. (And we don't know, if he hasn't killed Amy or Jessica, or any other person by now.)



What ya think?

 		is it just me, or does the tunnel that you see the eye at the end of look more like that tube thing from the basement of doom than the tunnel?

 		You all, I assume, remember Jay's tweet about totheark probably being different people. I notice several posts assume the message here is from Tim--while I don't think this is unwarranted, I'm not sure we can just ASSUME that this TTA vid is "directed" by Tim just because it includes footage of him.

 		A buuuunch of pages back, someone, I believe Mondai, posted a a link to this pic , which struck me more than the others. After looking through the video frame by frame, I found that that particular frame comes before the text at the end starts turning, so it's not a result of that.

I have no idea if it's intentional (and this may be a LONG stretch), but the stretched/twisted "IT" looks a lot like the zodiac symbol for Gemini, the Twins (the twins from Classified?). It could *also* be a roman numeral II. If it does have to do with "the twins", maybe TTA is saying Jay's hatred will increase because of something related to them? Or, if it's II, maybe that's related to a kill count? Like, Alex has killed more than one? No idea.

Also, when going through the frames, this came out of freaking nowhere. The other two frames before and after it have normal Masky, with lights in the background and everything. Brix, guys:

Anyone have an opinion on the video description? "never"

Maybe it's a response to Sidetone's video description of "remainseated"

Or even creepier, maybe it's a response to something in Entry #50.


I've just been wondering about it myself. Perhaps it's a reference to the "How much do you hate" thing, as in, it will never be enough hate. And, again, I wonder, is TTA talking to Jay or to us? Or both? And I know most people think TTA is probably Masky, but if Masky and TTA are separate people, then the message of the video might be directed at Tim.

But my foreshadowing sense is tingling! Something happened, something even worse than Alex bashing in some dude's head with a rock. What could Alex (or Jay or whoever) have done to generate that kind of hate? Deal with the Slender Devil?


Perhaps, TTA is saying without enough hate Jay will never get out, of this fine fine mess. I have no idea why you need hate to defeat Slendy and Alex Co.

 		Has any one pulled a spectograph for this entry yet or do I need to do it when I get home? Way to much dead space for there to be nothing there.
