I just rewatched 'Warning' a few times, and you know what struck me as odd?

Whenever we've seen Masky's face, we can't really make out his eyes, you know? Like when he's in J's room, the mask is fairly well-lit but we still can't see his eyes, but in 'Warning', we get a close-up that, even in the dim light from entry #19, I imagine we'd be able to make out the whites of his eyes or the eyelids.

Another thing, whenever we've seen Masky, he's been very in-control of himself. ( Minus the seizure. ) He's always seemed to know what he's been doing; so why are his eyes so panicked in 'Warning'? Not only that, they're only panicked in one spot. The other two shots of Masky's face are very still and controlled.

I think maybe, that, combined with the lack of response from J, maybe J's been taken by TTA/Masky. Perhaps there are two different masks, and Masky is tormenting J with one of them. The mask hanging on the doorway was an invitation for J to join him, and when J quit, Masky decided that if J wasn't going to accept his invitation, he'd just go and pick him up himself.

Hrmmmmm...

Thought:

What if "Regards" is written left-handed?

EDIT: Already brought up.

I'd say that the "Regards" in the video was written by either a drunk, a child, or somebody using their non-dominant hand - or maybe all three.

My theory, which may be creepier and more believable than the others, is that the first panel was written by Masky or TTA, or whoever they are if they are the same person; it is neatly written.

HOWEVER...Shocked

The second panel, "Regards", was written by none other than Slendy himself. The odd looking scribbling letters seems to fit with Sleendy's character (Since he has tentacles for hands, you'd figure that he'd write sloppily. lol.)


Poor Slendy... never got a chance. Went to grammar class and everyone ran out screaming, so he never learned penmanship...

who am I kidding. GAAAHHH!!!! Shocked

Alright, I haven't read all of this thread, so sorry if some of this has already been noted. A lot of people are saying "OMG, he has footage from Alex he must be him," when really there are two things:

1. TTA has always seemed to have footage/audio taken from Alex, doesn't mean its him

2. The video seems to be making fun of Alex, its mostly footage of a puppet being tugged around. I think its just TTA taunting Jay, saying that all the footage is just a puppet being played with.


Except that of the two choices, TTA/Masky being Alex and TTA/Masky not being alex, given the facts:

1) As you say, he always seems to get footage of Alex.

2) Also as you say, this subject of this latest video seems to BE Alex, with the Masky mask on.

3) He seems to know a lot of details about J and this whole situation regarding Slenderman.

4) People have been theorizing for a long time that Masky and TTA are likely the same a person, a theory acknowledged and seemingly agreed with by J on twitter ("totheark knows where I live"), and this latest video is close up shots of Masky (meaning either the cameraman is Masky himself, or the cameraman is somehow able to film Masky without Masky running away or attacking) after it gives an intro saying the footage is clips from Alex.


...Which do you think is the most logical conclusion, Alex is or isn't TTA and/or Masky?

Personally I still can't see how its even a discussion that Alex isn't TTA/Masky anymore, and if I was the MH guys I'd be bugged by the fact that despite posting an awesome plot revelation, people instead ignore it and continue to go on about handwriting (that may or may not have been intentional), hair, and god knows what else to try and cling to the theory that Masky is someone else.

I don't think Slenderman is the type of creature(person?) to bother writing anything down on bits of paper.

There are too many possible conclusions that could be drawn from the handwriting in "Regards" to the rest to dive too much into it. It could be the author trying to draw attention to the word, to maybe draw attention to the previous Regards video by writing that way intentionally. Since it's at the end of the video, it could be a sign that someone else is taking over the video at that point, either another entity (someone else or Slendy) or possibly Masky/whoever was writing the rest becoming possessed or controlled by Slendy. Also, outside of the outlier "Be Alone", it appears as if the handwriting is getting progressively worse throughout the video, but there aren't that many differences, outside of the "raw footage" caption to the "Regards" caption and then to the rest.

I wrote out notes to the rest on my white board and I'm trying to draw correlations between scenes... Don't really want to try to overanalyze it.

Huh... you all seem to think he's mocking Jay... but "Stay home" "be alone"
those are the sort of things I'd say if I was trying to arrange a meeting...

Also, the little "puppet" in the video, the sort you use as a reference for proportions when you're drawing... I think it's supposed to represent Slenderman. Or at least the blank features have always spooked me.

lets not forget the "smile for death" at the end of the video.

I don't get it... how can you be so sure of that when what you listed could lead to anyone in the MH crew being TTA/Masky? Who I do agree is the same person. Like I said, the whole "excerpts from Alex's tapes" thing is mocking him I think. For all we know if TTA and Masky are two different people, this is TTA filming a captured Masky(he does look very frantic in some of the clips)

You know, if Slendy could write that well with his tentacles... I think we oughta just give him Jay.
He deserves a treat after effort like that.

The first caption quoting the caption from Entry#1 makes me believe it's done in a mocking sense. "Stay HoMe" and "Be Alone" along with the "smile for death" at the end make me think it means "Yeah, just stay home, try to ignore the questions, maybe that'll make you happy (smile), but you're going to succumb to it regardless (for death)."

The puppet imo represents one of two things: Either, what you said, Slendy, because it first appears after the caption taken from Entry#1, where Slendy was the only being shown on camera (maybe the puppet's motion represents what Slendy was doing/gazing at before it stared at Alex), or it represents what J looks like watching the videos.

trouble is, that's not a puppet. Its a model used to learn figure drawing.

Because:

Its not J, for obvious reasons.

Tim seemed perfectly sane in Entry #15, and also showed no signs of the illness that he had in Entry #20, and given that that was three years ago you'd think that unless he had gotten better, it would've progressed to a worse state, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I'd buy that Masky was Tim if it wasn't for the fact that Masky does seem ill, as he had a fit in Entry #18.

Brian is nowhere to be seen, so sure its not possible to disprove that possibility but Brian doesn't seem to be the kind of guy to make the sorts of videos that TTA does, all we know is that he's a friend of Alex and an actor in the Marble Hornets movie.

Seth seems like too much of a minor character to be the one behind all of this. Sure he gets involved in #22 to help Alex with whatever led them to that basement, but not only does the fact he can operate a camera (who can't?) not really prove he's a video editing-kinda guy who could make the TTA videos, and assuming he even survived whatever happened to him down the basement, it doesn't seem like he'd have much of a reason to be doing the things that TTA is doing.

Alex, though, has all the qualities to fill the role of Masky/TTA. He has all the reason in the world to want to save J from whatever Slenderman is doing, and since TTA certainly doesn't seem to be on Slendy's side we can only assume he's trying to help J in his own twisted way. Plus, we knoe Alex was making the Marble Hornets film so he must have the kind of skills to make the sorts of videos that TTA does.

Yup, that's what I said.
Wonder if there's any significance to that, or if it was just another convenient Michaels prop...

Can I say that I like the idea that TTA captured a Masky?
