which suggests that Jay or someone clearly rattled him...he seems almost defensive. Like he's in a corner and snarling at everything as he has no place to go. Some times in those 7 months, TTA was attacked by something...be it the Operator or Alex or who knows what...and is now not so lofty. Of course, this makes him even more dangerous; if he is desperate, it might mean he is willing to really do something, not just guide. He is also becoming notably hostile.

There is also the possibility that he is frustrated with Jay, who is obviously unable to accomplish what he wants, so he is drawing closer to Jay for one of two reasons: To either rattle him into doing what he wants, and force results (hostile words don't mean hostile intentions), or he is drawing closer to get "ready for the kill" and cut Jay off as a loose end.
One of these 3 options seem most likely to me, but perhaps there is a fourth I am unaware of

We know at least one thing that attacked Tim/Masky -- Alex, with a rock, in the abandoned house. If something rattled TTA, and if we humor the assumption that Tim might be TTA, those two facts would jive quite well. I know if I were Tim/TTA, and Jay had led me straight to a guy who tried to brain me with a rock (ignoring the fact that Tim stabbed Alex first, hur hur), I'd be a little less benevolent towards Jay from then on. There also seems to be some hostility towards Alex in the TTA videos, particularly in Fragments, which would stand to reason if TTA was Tim.

I don't think that TTA is Tim, but I'm sure that TTA has all kinds of reasons to be angry at Alex. Maybe the thought is that Alex is somehow responsible for bringing everything down the way it has, or maybe Alex did something else to TTA in the past. If TTA is a cast member, maybe he hold Alex responsible for whatever happened.

Even if TTA is Tim now, I don't think he's always been TTA. I'm willing to bet that the TTA account has changed hands in the intervening seven months.

Tim chose not to throw Jack of Blades' mask into the lava.

The only question I have is,

Why would you use Jay to do your bidding!? He's an idiot! D:

I think that TTA can only use people who are as shoulder-deep-in-shit as Jay and possibly Alex. If not, then there would be a whole lot of other players, or atleast other characters who just pop out of nowhere clad in anti-Slendering armour and on fire or something snazzy like that.

But no, he uses Jay.

I think TTA is more of a frame of mind that one can only attain under copious amounts of mysterious white pills and amnesia. It's your higher consciousness, the part of you that actually knwos how to beat this thing.

The part of you that sends shitty cryptic messages.

Ugh.

I think it might be possible that TTA is someone's split personality. Or the slendy-sickness drives people (Tim, Alex) into madness until they eventually split into other personalities to deal.

TL;DR: Season one TTA was cunning in a way, communicated in a very indirect fashion but was careful to never give too much away and was trying to guide Jay towards an ultimate goal. Season two TTA just seems crazy and aggressive, still watching Jay but without any sort of purpose. If I had to put money on it, I'd guess it's due to the location shift.

I think there's definitely something to be gleaned from the fact that Season 1 TTA is trying to achieve something, whilst Season 2 TTA is just dicking around with Jay. As I think I've said in other threads (sorry for repeating myself but I dunno which threads you keep up with), I don't come to the same conclusion as you: you take those datapoints and conclude that they're different guys, I reckon they're most likely the same guy who just happens to have attained what he wanted in season 1 during the 7 month downtime.

But I agree that the shift in tone for TTA's work seems to be significant.

this post got really long, I'm sowwy

Jay assumes that totheark posted Entry ######, and I totally did too; the fact that the voiceover finishes off with "and you will lead us to the ark" pretty much leads you to that conclusion. But the other day (prompted by the appearance of Masky II and all the speculation he causes) I got to thinking about other possibilities. Main facts of interest I can see are:

  • The poster has access to footage of Tim putting on his mask
  • The poster refers to "us" rather than "me" (although I notice "I" am coming for you)
  • The poster can operate youtube successfully (including this since I reckon Slendy's not a great typist or mouse-user with those weird arms)
  • It's always been a game to them

Implication is that there are at least two in this group, one of them being Tim/Masky I; the putting-on-the-mask footage looks a bit too up-close to have been taken without him knowing. We also see they are looking for the ark (they want Jay to lead them there), but we don't know how many people are doing that so I suppose I can't guarantee it's our pal totheark. Could Masky II be part of this group?

Burning question: why was it a game to them? They know there's a supernatural faceless horror floating around, surely?

Regarding the proposal that totheark seems to have found what he was looking for (I know a song about that...): has he found the ark? Does this make it more important than ever that we find out what it is? Have Masky/Masky II/Alex found it, are they looking? Argh too many questions my head asplode Confused

EDIT: Just noticed a few posts upthread speculating on the Operator's motivations, and reminding me of the tape recorded by Alex's girlfriend. Apparently Alex got by for three years or so without any problems, then one day his girlfriend turns a camera on him and instantly BAM wifin' in da club.

Maybe Slendy's not so much stalking people as the cameras are keeping him here somehow. Alex was "harassed" because he was filming himself constantly, so the Operator kept being drawn to him. So, tracing this line of thought back, what's the earliest appearance of film oddness we know of? As far as I can tell it's Jay's --- not Alex's! --- filming when they were looking for locations. I think I can just make out a suited figure behind one of the trees.

What if it was Jay who kicked it all off somehow, through whatever he accidentally did with that camera? Then Alex/Seth's filming of actual movie footage kept Slendy around, then Alex started obsessing over recording himself, and you know the rest. This wacky theory would explain something that's bothered me; why the Operator walks right past Jay in "Return". It's because totheark is the one actively filming. Maybe totheark/Masky I are why Jay's been left largely alone by Slendy... until now. We also get a motivation for why totheark seems to give a damn about protecting Jay in the first place, seeing as he doesn't appear to care about Alex.

If Jay provided whatever the original trigger was, maybe that explains why it's him, and not Alex, who can lead the way to the ark.

We will wait for you no more. Control is being taken away from you. From the start it's been a game for us, not anymore. I'm coming for you and you will lead me to the ark.

I think TTA also once said "we will wait no more"

TTA has definitely said both "we" and "i" so i definitely think there is more than one person in TTA or posting videos for TTA.

edit: sorry didn't read through that last post

Completely irrelevant, and I don't think that this is the case but isn't Gollum from Lord of the Rings all like "he tricksies US"? British people/ Aussie people say us when they mean 'me' all the time.

But I doubt a British alter ego is really the case here.

I'm sticking with the theory that the identity, or atleast the account of TTA switches from person to person, creating a collaborative 'us', but a singular 'you' at any one time. That's just what I get purely using the whole you/we stuff.

Are you actually suggesting that British and Australian people talk like Gollum? Because that is what it looks like you are suggesting.
