Mood stabilizing as in they help adjust emotions by balancing certain chemicals in the brain. Like instead of being furious it's mild anger. Maybe the drugs help him from turning into a complete nutcase?


Oh, yes, I didn't mean that I don't understand why he's not "stable"--just meant that he's obviously not, so I wonder why and what kind of medicine he's really taking.

Hi, 1st post, short term reader, new Marble Hornets addict.

I caught up in a week...I didn't note the time stamps on the entries, couldn't see what people were getting so frustrated with...and now I'm here. And just as stuck as everyone else.

Sheesh.

Apologies for being late to the party and particularly if this has bindun to death already, but on the subject of Tim's meds, most anticonvulsants (anti seizure drugs) have mood stabilising properties - carbamazepine, valproate, gabapentin in addition to lamotrigine are used for these purposes.

*reverts to rocking back and forth waiting for new entry*


Don't worry, the almighty Troy has stated that Entry 63 is on its way. Hopefully the pace will pick up. *does not hold breath for this*

Also, welcome to the forums. As a warning, you should know that we've all gone mad from watching Marble Hornets. You will too. Don't worry, it's a nice feeling. Razz


I think I may be most of the way there already. And thank you 😃

Welcome!

When you say 'mood stabilising properties' - what does that mean, exactly? I have a feeling that Tim's mood is not that stable even when on anticonvulsants (EDIT: If anticonvulsants are indeed what he's actually taking).


Well put yourself in his shoes. If you woke up miles away from home with your leg broken and had periods of memory loss, you wouldn't be stable either.

Mood stabilizing as in they help adjust emotions by balancing certain chemicals in the brain. Like instead of being furious it's mild anger. Maybe the drugs help him from turning into a complete nutcase?



^this, mainly. I've seen anticonvulsants used in large dosages in severe bipolar disorder, and to control severe behavioural problems (personality disorders and the like).

I'm of the school of thought that Tim was put on them for seizures and any "MaskyBGone" or "Slendy Away" properties are a (happy?) accident.

Of course, if they're shown to worsen his problems, then that's an adverse reaction (far worse than the "hives" Tim was noted to get from Codeine and Amoxicillin) and someone should let the FDA know immediately…

*fills in "Yellow Card" to make an obscure UK-based pharmaceutical reference*
[edit]sorted out the wrong italic code. d'oh!

Maybe not an accident. In the medical papers it was stated he ran away and was found in Rosswood Park 2 (Redacted) times. If that was something like 2 weeks, his Masky personality may have been apparent since childhood. Of course not called Masky then.

I agree with this. I don't even understand the context and I chuckle every time I see it.

 		Okay, here's something to mull over until we get the next entry.

62 gave us a new location: "Hoody Hut." We've never seen it before, Jay's never seen it before, and apparently Tim hasn't seen it before. But in 62, which is the culmination of the most pivotal sequence of events in the season so far, our heroes land at the Hoody Hut. The Hut was then prominently featured in "Isolation," TTA's response to 62.

So, for the next few entries, will we be going back? If we do, is it going to be because the Hut is intrinsically significant (like, a source of power, the ark, or a base for the Operator), or will it just be a place they go to look for clues, because they know Hoody's been there (like the antique shop)? If we're not going back at the moment, then where do Jay and Tim go from here? (Personally, I'm hoping they hit the library for some Operator research.)

So where, geographically, do you think the series goes from here?

 		My heart is telling me that Hoody Hut has something to do with the Ark, that it's someplace more important than just a place for them to look for clues, but my head is saying that that isn't probable.

the hut itself doesn't seem to be a very geographically significant place, i mean it is in the middle of rosswood park, which is very significant, and there seems to be a few places that keep getting revisited there, mostly the tunnel.


really itching hard for entry 63 now...

I know what you mean. The ark seemed like such a big mystery; it was such a focus for TTA that he took it as a name. The word "ark" itself can mean so many things; it's hard not to rush to a "that must be the ark" conclusion every time something new is introduced. But it seems like the ark's dropped off the radar a little bit, right? I'm trying to remember the last time the ark was mentioned directly in a video. Am I forgetting something? Hasn't it been a while?

Obviously, it's going to come up again eventually, but it seems like TTA's had other stuff going on for a while now.

 		That would be hilarious if after all this time all he wanted was for Jay and Tim to stumble around blindly in the dark until they find the random abandoned shack he never could.

The ark was mentioned not too long ago (video-sequence-wise) in Decay. There needs to be something serious about the ark if it can kill people as it's implied. I don't think its just some shack in the woods.

Quite right. That was this season, too, so not so long ago, I guess. Twelve videos or so. Several months, though. Kind of a lull, but there's been important stuff going on. Somebody better at math than I am might want to compare the frequency that the ark gets mentioned by season, but I doubt it's important.

I agree that the Hut would be a pretty weak choice of ark. I've always thought that it would be a cache of information, not a weapon per se. Which video implied that the ark can kill people? Is that how you're interpreting "Decay" ("(He will) lead me to death")? I don't know. That's more specific than I remember TTA ever being.
