 		Well, 4 entries, and 2 Operator appearances. I am hoping there's more, although, the ways he has appeared have scared me shitless.

And yes, I saw that too.

 		If the internet existed in 1933:

"I dunno, is it me, or does King Kong just not look very good? I mean, his movements are all choppy and his eyes look kinda Derpy and don't look a thing like REAL gorilla eyes. Never mind the fact that his scale changes about a million times. I dunno. Not tryin' to hate or anything. I mean I realize it's the 30's and the filmmakers are doing literally the best they can with the resources they have available, and that I have an imagination more than capable off looking past what are at best minor flaws...but it's still not enough to satiate my unrealistic expectations."

Rolling Eyes

Any-howzers, someone a few pages back posited the theory that Tim was originally trying to lure Alex to the hospital, but Alex turned the tables. I like that idea, but why would he then lure Brian, Seth, et al to the same place? Is the Operator testing out various possibilities to find the best host and Alex ended up fitting the bill? Intriguing stuff. A good entry that answered questions while posing new ones.

I see the word 'paper' a lot.

EDIT: Oh holy Jesus that picture was huge linked.


Right at the bottom I see:

There [some kind of drawing of a tower here?] <-- there isn't Desire
here for us to see : )

Or

There [some kind of drawing of a tower here?] <-- the man isn't ???
here for us to see : )

That last bit does look like a smiley...it also appears towards the central-right where it seems to say:

"There this will
B : ) you've..."

For those who weren't paying close enough attention near the end of the tape when Alex dropped the "stick" to hear it land with a dull metallic clunk, it was pretty clearly a piece of rebar.

Yeah, if I were Tim I'd be pretty pissed too.


I see what you did there.

This is my first and I hope it hasn't already been said but, in entry 15 Tim says he was just along for the ride with Brian for Marble Hornets. Could this also mean he is just along for the ride with Brian for TTA?

No. By now that has been revealed to either be a lie or damaged memory on Tim's part.

 		Zaarg I know you don't want me to repost this but I'm only going to do it once since it took me over an hour to type and it seemed to get skipped over, I won't bump it again

This will be a very long post, and I hope you guys don't mind if I bump it once every 2 pages or so to ensure that it doesn't just get skipped over because it will take me a lot of time to write.


at the end of s1, alex is obviously aware of totheark following jay, which is why he doesn't want jay to know where he lives. but why did alex string jay along and genuinely seem like he wanted jay's help? it was a facade. he wanted to get rid of jay in entry 40, but jay went in the woods alone and made it out without getting taken. his plans had failed.

its possible the operator was running low on "life force energy" or something, and then alex sacrifices himself in 43 to give the operator that energy that he so desperately needs but couldn't obtain from jay in 40. maybe alex sacrificed people multiple times, which is why he couldn't risk them figuring out the truth, because then they would avoid alex like the plague (seth or brian finding out = totheark, anyone? would explain why they go missing and never return when tim does seen by entry 20 - fits in nicely with a few of the early tta videos like exit)

in fact, alex couldn't even let the people he sacrificed be suspicious of it. if he were to try to drag jay into the rosswood park woods that day jay ran into the operator, jay would know something was up. alex had to play along and just get him another time. the thing is, alex doesn't attempt to sacrifice jay again, ever.

alex goes off the deep end after jay takes the tape from 51. alex is aware of all the entries jay has posted up to entry 26 at that point when he whips out the gun (and alex doesn't give jay the tape from 51 because it was the one thing that would turn jay against him). he knows that jay wants answers from stuff that happened in season 1.


once alex knows that jay figured out the truth, he sees him as a threat whereas he didn't see him as a threat before, just a pawn. he wanted to kill jay before jay could upload the video to the channel.

but why kill jay instead of sacrifice him to the operator? because the operator doesn't kill people. nor can the operator make anyone 'fully vanish' as they want us to believe - otherwise that would have been a far better solution for alex to get rid of jay, wouldn't it? a dead body vs a vanished body, he should have picked the vanished one if that could have happened.


so to me this says that brian, seth, sarah, and amy must all be alive, but only the member(s) of totheark (probably brian or seth) have seen footage of what happened which is how they are even aware of anything going on. alex only knows about what's happening because of the footage from early season 1 that he rewatched. he starts taping himself constantly after realizing that he is losing time.

. totheark was following jay and alex around back in entry 13, totheark knew about the operator before alex did apparently. i'm wiilling to bet the second half of season 3 will be the reveal of totheark, and their set of tapes which reveal how alex came to be the way he is.


the second half of my theory is that tim remembers everything and is waiting until jay realizes the full truth before coming clean about working with totheark. the whole time they realize that jay didn't have all the clues and would have just sided with alex (as he did) assuming that totheark was bad after seeing his videos from season 1, they had to show him why he should hate alex AS WELL AS side with the maskys.

totheark/tim uses jay to get to alex, and alex uses jay to get to them. alex wants them to stop following him, and they need jay to find alex to end all of this. alex is the operators pawn, after all.


its unlikely that totheark would keep tim in the dark about things since 45 confirms they're working together. (to anyone who doubts that hoody is totheark, go watch intermission and then entry 42 - hoody is sitting beneath the tree and intermission is teasing alex completely missing him)

it's also unlikely that tim would only remember these things in an alternate personality. if we're supposed to believe tim gets no sleep because he's masky all night, then he should be tired all the time or have rings under his eyes, but he seems well rested. sure a dual personality is possible, but it would be an unnecessary story element if you ask me. i find it odd that tim as masky doesn't cough ever, though.


so why does tim attack jay in the hotel? he knows that the footage of s2 is in there. he doesn't want jay to know his identity, and he doesn't want

so you ask, why does present day tim seem like he doesn't know anything? maybe the operator got to him after entry 33 and wiped his mind. maybe totheark and tim really aren't working together, and the entry 42/intermission thing is a wrong connection, and hoody isn't part of totheark (meaning him and tim working together wouldn't result in tim finding out anything)

the really big continuity error is that jay didn't post the season 2 footage that he took as he took it, he waited months to post it when he wouldn't have done that if this was realistic.


and now for the greatest plot twist theory of all time that will never happen but would have been cool: the person at the end of entry 51 was tim who had put on alexs shoes to make it look like alex did it all

I second this. I'm not sure what exactly you guys are pointing out.

And pravado, I've read your post, too.

I totally see what they're talking about. When you watch, it really looks like something walking slowly. It's pretty creepy.

I'll try to gif it shortly.

 		Alright, back to actually look at stuff now it's morning and we've decided it's a pole.

Taking a look at the graffiti wall that Tim focused on a bit. I thought they were going to be the etchings of some past slenderized people, however I'm beginning to think it's not. If you ignore the smily faces completely the words could maybe be seen as something of importance.

starting from top left underscores are illegible words:

The nurse ______

She __er th_____

v(y?)e______________ the paper post _____
_________________________ there this will
________________________ =) power

_________________
_________________
_________________

There (tower or pikachu) <-- the man that ________
____ for us to see =)
PAPER _____

All in all I think it's a red herring

I see a rope hanging from the ceiling that moves across the door from the right to left, as well as what appears to be a giant bush baby peeking around the door. No tall guys running across though. I guess I'll wait for the gif though.

 		A thought just dawned on me this morning, going along with the theory proposed last night that all of the tapes from Season 1 were not supposed to be burned, but watched by Jay so that Alex looked like the hero.

A lot of people said that the blood on Alex's face in Entry 14 obviously fake (I still don't see it personally, but whatever.) What if... it's because IN UNIVERSE, it IS fake. The Operator slending his way into the door? Nothing of malice came of it. He probably 'ported out of the room after walking in front of the camera. What if Alex and The Operator actually planned these tapes together for Jay's "benefit"?

Thinking about this entry, though, got me on the bandwagon of wishing The Operator did more these days. Even though he still has some very frightening "stand there menacingly" moments, some of the season one stuff where he moved around, looked in windows, opened doors, etc. truly highlight the fear factor of the Slender Man.

Loop blew my mind. I seriously love that book.
