A friend of mine and I were Chatting on steam about Marble Hornets, here's our conversation, edited so as not to bore:

What if the Operator symbol is like...a blocked portal?

as in, the circle being the portal, and the X being the blockage or meaning that the portal has closed.

Perhaps Slendy is from another dimension and he can't get back to his family?

[Dray]

I keep feeling like they're using the (X) symbol for various things, like they haven't really settled on its meaning. If anything it seems like a landing pad or directory signal, sort of like (H) is to direct helicopters. 'Go here', 'destination', etc. Then again, it's been used specifically in place of faces. We see (X) used in place of Slendy's face in some of Alex's drawings. We see many (X)'s showing up in Warning, which some people have suggested to be faces. And then we see it in reference to 'the operator', which could be a specific person. It could be simply a marker for clues, like a hint to connect the dots.

It seems almost certain that there IS some sort of Dimension X evident in the series, to me at least. Whether someone is trapped inside of it or out of it is still up in the air!

Oh boy! I thought of a theory! I feel special.

A friend and I believe that "The Ark" is Slenderman. Now, I don't know why they would refer to Slenderman as an Ark, but that's besides the point. I think they, "they" being Totheark and Masky, are using Jay to lead them To The Ark.

Meaning that they need Jay to lead them to Slenderman. Their obsession made them insane, assuming it's all the Marble Hornets cast and crew. And what with Return, it makes sense that TTA/Masky was using Jay as bait to find Slenderman. What with "FOUND YOU" at the end of the video and all.

It's just a theory, but I think it holds some merit. Anyone have any thoughts?

Edit: Perhaps I could have worded it better. Simply put, I think TTA and Masky are using Jay to find Slenderman because they became extremely obsessed during the filming of Marble Hornets.

hello everyone, I am a longtime lurker, and I've been following Marble Hornets for a long time, so I am up on all the info...

I never felt the need to input my thoughts; all of you have been doing such an awesome job. But after the last video, I could not resist pointing out one thing that has been bothering me to no end.

why is everyone so convinced that totheark and Masky are two different individuals? Not only has Jay said that he believes they are the same individual, but the videos themselves, logicially, prove that they are one person. Tim, most likely, is both totheark and Masky.

"Warning" is the most obvious reason as to why they are the same person. In order for totheark to be a different individual than Masky, he/she/it would have had to be present during the filming of the video. How else would totheark have gotten the footage in the first place, with Masky mugging for the camera so willingly? Unless totheark was the cameraman--but if that is the case (which I highly doubt) then that would imply that totheark and Masky are partners in this game; but any storyteller knows that two antagonists, (three if you include Slendy) with the same end goal, especially in such a small, contained world, is one too many. The Marble Hornets crew has given us such a great story so far, I can't believe they would be willing to muddle it up in such an ineffective way. As far as Seth being TTA, I can only feel perplexed when this theory is presented. Seth is "gone," as are all the others that Alex designates as such. We've never even seen Seth on camera...I find it hard to believe that the Marble Hornets crew would create such a pivotal character of TTA and then reveal him to be an actor we have never seen nor really care about in the way we care about the ones we've seen. The only one who supposedly shows up is Tim; but why that is has to do with another theory I will speak of in my next post.

But "Warning" isn't the only case in which totheark would have had to be present to attain the footage of Masky--the most recent entry also fits.

And, let us not forget, the actual message of the last video, ends with "I am coming for you." "I" signifies that Masky is in fact, the creator of this video. As far as the "We" in "We will wait for you no more," I can only assume that Masky is talking about the entire "gone" Marble Hornets crew.

Which leads me to my next point/theory....

[hellozombie]

Has anyone else noticed the similarity between the Marble Hornets story and tales of alien abductions (both fictional and, allegedly, true)? Most of these tales consist of a group of individuals who are abducted--terrible things happen to them--and then they are returned to earth, most often with no memory of the experience. Through flashbacks, triggered events, or hypnosis, these memories tend to slowly surface from their repression.

There are several other reasons that this theory of aliens and abductions is relevant:

We know Slendy to be an otherworldly creature of some sort

We know Slendy seems to have the ability to transport people to different places at will, which would give him the ability to abduct individuals

What if Slendy is from a dying planet and has come to earth to seek a new "home"? If a ship, (perhaps entered through that tube/portal they focus on so much) is hidden somehwere, there may be other "Slendaliens." Maybe each of the Marble Hornets crew were used as "vessels" for these aliens, in an effort to possess them and live here on earth. But the possession didn't go to plan, it made them all sick, crazy, and violent. So Slendy, perhaps the only alien who didn't possess an individual, decided to scrap the whole project, by wiping the memories of the Marble Hornets crew, (by abducting them again) and putting them back into their lives.

But the memories remain in some, and are triggered/twisted by those who start to remember them, such as Tim. Perhaps Jay is the only one left who is "possessed," and Slendy decided to re-use Tim, in an effort to get Jay back "To the ark," which could be the SHIP. Or, maybe Tim escaped, and is trying to destroy the ark/ship, and is using Jay, the only possessed one left, to get back to it.

The ark, historically, is the ship that saves the species of our world in a catastrophe, in order to repopulate. That would make sense to call the alien ship an ark, if the aliens were coming from a dying world.

And it can't be forgotten how similar Masky, especially when he is going through the blinds in the last video, looks to "gray" aliens. The white face with the black eyes...I just can't think that the design of the mask is unintentional. It is obvious that Masky used something to blacken the eye-holes of his mask, perhaps in order to "mimic" Slendy, in an effort to deceive him in some way. Why make the eyes of the mask so black and large, and shaped exactly like the eyes of "grays"? Why not just have a blank white mask? Wouldn't that, theoretically, look more like Slendy's "face"? Then again, we have yet to truly see Slendy in any type of clarity. Because Marble Hornets are obviously using the Slenderman tale as inspiration, you would think that his face would have to be featureless, as in the original tale. But the MH crew has proven time and again that they are creating an original tale, using Slenderman as the main character--other than the presence of Slenderman, nothing else in the tale coincides with the urban legend (most significantly, the absence of children). It is possible that he has a face, or that he is simply hiding his face.

Okay, well, that's it for me, I hope I didn't anger anyone, this is, in all honesty, the first time I've posted on any forum at all!

[hellozombie]

oh man, sorry, one more thing:

anyone else think that ALL the answers lie in the rest of Entry #12?

TTA did say that there was more to it...yet we've never seen the rest. I can't help but think that is very significant.

also, Alex says in the end of Entry#22 that he is going back to "MY home." Doesn't that seem like an odd way to say that? When we say we're going home, that's exactly what we say. We don't feel the need to identify that we are going to OUR home. It's understood.

but Alex says that after it seems that Slendy enters the room/Alex's body...which would signify that at that moment it is not Alex speaking, it is Slendalien, and he wants to tell us that he desires to go back to HIS home, not of this earth, and not any home that we, as humans, would be familiar with.

And when he says that everyone is "gone," perhaps it is Slendalien, saying that his comrades did not survive the possession?

okay, now I'm done.

The ET connection is something I brought up a bit ago, because of the missing time that is being reported by Jay and Alex along with the video distortion.
Alien Abduction cases often have missing time where the victim cannot remember the last 2-3 hours. One case, Travis Walton, was missing for 5 days. (True story).

hahaha, Fire in the Sky is one of my favorite movies...here is a link to the youtube video of the alien abduction scene, if anyone is interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrQLqFfelic

let's hope that whatever happened to our MH crew, it wasn't THIS

[squidbutt]

Okay, but...
if Slenderman is an alien and his entire ship has been trying to possess humans in an attempt to make Earth their new "home"...

Why would they choose some random college film students working on a project to possess? I'm pretty sure if an alien species was trying to repopulate, they'd need more people than that. Influential humans, even. Not college kids.
Sorry, but that theory just doesn't work for me at all. If that ends up being the case I'll be massively disappointed.
