Do you trust Tim?

[Kraehtot]

I have truly trusted him always, and I thought the "He is a LIAR" thing was a way of Hoody trying to be payed attention and wanting Jay to know Tim's past, not as if Tim was telling lies deliberately. But the last Entry has made me doubt, because of that tape. Once again I think it may be something Tim doesn't remember at all, so I'm giving him a presumption of innocence until he is proven to be a liar.

For the most part, I trust him. I do however believe that it's possible he could be hiding something from Jay.

In Entry #72, he quickly directed Jay to the top pocket of his bag as he was about to put those papers into the bottom pocket. At first I thought it was nothing. But now, looking back at it, there might have been something in the bag that he didn't want Jay to see (his mask?).

There's also that tape in his house. Is it his? Does he know it's there?

There's just something about Tim that makes me feel uneasy. I can't put my finger on it. Oh well. It's probably just me.

I'm not sure if anybody has seen my posts on other threads, but I think the most interesting and thought provoking direction Marble Hornets could go for the ending is making Tim the main bad guy. There is so many clues I feel pointing towards this conclusion, but for most, his beauty and magnificence blinds us to see him as anything other than perfect.

Sometimes I get a sneaking suspicicion that this whole series of events was triggered by something Tim did or experienced when he was a child.
I forget which entry, but he did mention this possibility to Jay once.

Guilt-ridden, he's been running from it ever since - after accidently dragging friends and acquaintances into this mess.

It seemes pretty obvious he's still not revealing everything to Jay. This does not necessarily make him villian material, however.

I trust him. I think that, yes, it's entirely plausible that he might be hiding something from Jay, but I think that he still has good intentions toward Jay-- if he IS hiding something incriminating, I think it's probably more something that he's ashamed of than something that he's hiding simply because he wants Jay to trust him, or because he wants to seem like the victim. Honestly, I do think he's hiding something, but I don't think it's because he has bad intentions toward Jay, or because he has some master plan to sacrifice him to Tall 'n' Skinny, or murder him in his sleep. He's done too much to help/protect Jay, and he's forgiven him too many times (because let's face it, Jay can be a real idiot sometimes). With all the stuff that Tim's been through already, I doubt he would have dealt with Jay for this long if he really wanted him dead or "gone"d.

I trust Tim not to betray Jay. It's true that Trosephim are deliberately maintaining an air of danger and ambiguity about him, but if he wanted to kill Jay, or sacrifice him to the Operator, he's already had plenty of chances. If there's a gun in his backpack, it's for Alex. Recall that in entry 18, Masky didn't attack Jay until Jay called him by the hated name "Alex."

Also (although I'm on somewhat thinner ice here) Tim 's ultimate goal is a normal life. He wants to hold onto his humanity, and comradeship is part of that. He isn't alone anymore, and that means something to him.

I trust Tim not to betray Jay...but I don't completely trust Jay not to betray Tim.

[quietperson17]

I don't think Tim is a bad guy. I think I know what he might be hiding....

He knows that Jay has a masky-like personality. Jay may have been the one to burn down his own apartment (or Tim/masky did to cover it up?). Tim may've been hiding Jay's mask in his bag. Also, Jay's blackouts and habit of waking up in a new place is when he recovered from his masky state.

'HE IS A LIAR' could refer to Tim keeping secrets from Jay or Jay being an (possibly unintentional) unreliable narrator.

Or i'm overthinking things. I'm gonna look for more overlooked hints that could fit the theory.

If Tim knew that he had an alternate personality, wouldn't he just detroy the mask? He has to be hiding something from Jay. Perhaps the 'He is a liar' message is referring to Tim, and Tim lied about his childhood at the hospital just to bring Jay back there to kill him, having TO take care of the body, only to have Hoody intervene by showing up.

[Marble Hornets]

Ironically, I don't fully trust anyone with the exception of Hoody/totheark.
