 		On Slendersickness..
Masky definitely makes a point of showing Jay that the footage distorts when he looks into the camera, especially when he breaks into Jay's room.

Like I've asked in other threads, is it just a residual effect of Slendrification or is it something Masky considers to be some sort of power or gift..

Maybe it was a warning.



Also, back to the concept of "eyes" and Alex.
Why is it in Entry 26, when the girl is filming Alex, other than just being mildly annoyed, there isn't any significant distortion except for the visual tearing right at the end? Despite this, it's an indication that Alex is alive, and has been 'safe' since he put the camera away. He also has a roommate/girlfriend, so I'm going to assume that he hasn't been isolated and paranoid.. Most importantly, it shows that Alex HAS NOT been filming himself.

Is that to say that if Jay stops filming, drops the camera and forgets about it, he'd be safe too?

Also, if it were that easy, then why does Masky insist on 'playing the game', reappearing, sending videos, warning Jay etc. Masky must have some sort of ulterior motive, or else he wouldn't go to this much trouble..

EDIT: I also realised that when Alex is filming MH/still living in the same town that MH was filmed, he lives with Brian. Seeing as now Alex also lives with people, we can rule 'having roommates' as some sort of safe guard.. which makes me question why the concept of isolation is so important, if Slendy can get you no matter what.

Alex figured out that locking away the camera that had captured the initial footage of Slendy kept him safe, atleast until the girl he was living with brought it out again.


Sorry, just realised that this thread is about TTA. xD Which barely has any relevance to what I've been saying...

 		BUMP/idea..
Also,

Alex didn't have a 'TTA'-type vigilante-messenger, did he?

Which means that the current TTA/Masky is relatively new, or perhaps found out about Slendy at the time, or after Alex did. ..Which really makes me think it IS Tim.

If Masky had been around for a long time, then why would he only be be trying to catch Slendy, capturing footage of Slendy etc now? There is a possibility that Masky is only using Jay for bait as he didn't visit Alex at all, as proven by the tapes.

Well... he didn't have a "TTA-type vigilante messenger" that we know of, but you make valid points, I'll have to look into it.

Haha. I'm a philosophy nut as well. :3

My friends call me the "postmodern" one.

BUT BACK ON TOPIC. Very Happy

Alex filmed himself constantly, right?

Jay uploaded everything of interest in Alex's tapes. I think a masked vigilante would be classified as 'of interest'. Assume that you are Jay. Wouldn't you know the signs if you looked through Alex's tapes?

Wouldn't you say, "This masked guy followed Alex, and now he's following me?"

But Masky didn't follow Alex.

And that prompts me to raise another question.. Is Slendy even following Jay?

Jay only sees Slendy through Alex's lens.. I don't think there has been an Entry of Jay's own where he has filmed Slendy..

Unless I'm wrong, in which case someone point it out so I can adjust my theory..

So far as we know, there have only been TWO entries in which Jay is actually seen with SM:

Entry #17, which featured Tim for the most part and had SM.... 'hiding' outside the window, and TTA's Return.

About Return, I don't know if it's been brought up before, but I don't think it's filmed on TTA's camera.

Prepare your anus!
Not only has Jay only been seen with Slendy twice, SM has only been seen INDOORS twice: once when he intrudes into Alex's bedroom (can't remember the entry) and the second time in Entry #26. It makes NO SENSE for SM to be near Jay and indoors RANDOMLY.

My theory: Return is filmed the night when Slendy pays Alex his bedroom visit. I admit I have no clue what Jay is doing there, but it seems obvious the way SM is ignoring him that he has business... elsewhere, i.e. with Alex just a few doors down.

Which brings me to TTA. He didn't film that. What we see in Return is footage from one of Alex's surveillance cameras.

We only see SM through Alex's lens. And aside from that, how in the hell would TTA happen upon such a rare and random occasion by chance.?

Also, while I'm on a roll. Backwards time travel. I know it's been shot down before, but I can't seem to get the idea out of my head. This is grasping a bit weakly, but during Return, Jay wears a grey (or maybe white) shirt. Entry #19: Grey shirt, disappears for 3 hours. Entry #24: white shirt, disappears for 2 hours.

Up until #26, SM had only appeared 3 (4 now) years ago, when Alex was filming himself. Why would he randomly appear to Jay when there has been nothing leading up to his appearance. Slendy seems a pretty Alex-centric phenomenon.

Exactly my point.

So what is Masky's motivation? Why be like, "HEY JAY, LOOK AT THIS. LOOK AT WHAT I KNOW ABOUT YOUR FRIEND!"

Okay, I posted this in another thread.. but I think that Entry #12 is the official first sighting (chronologically) of Slendy. Pay close attention to who's in the shot and who's talking..

They obviously don't know that Slendy, you know.. doesn't have a face and wants to eat their souls. They're laughing, the cameraman says "Can we, uhh.. get him off the.. (set)?"

Entry 1 and 3 are post-Slendy sighting.. Entry 2, I'm a bit iffy about.

So why is this suddenly Masky's business?

I don't mean to be pedantic, but I believe Jay and slendy were together in #23, as well, weren't they? I doubt this changes your theory, but.. it always helps to be thorough.

They're together, but SM is never seen through Jay's lens..

My brain asloded!
It does fit, I mean, Slendy seems to only target Alex, as he hasn't been seen stalking Jay, or anyone else. And it makes sense that the camera in Return was one of Alex's surveillance cameras...
The thing that gets to me though, isn't Alex's room upstairs? It looks like Slenderman is coming down the stairs, and while it's possible that he's already fucked around with Alex and is leaving, it still confuses the hell out of me.

 		Well the first question we should ask ourselves logically is:
"Why?"
Why does Masky OR our good old Slendermonz not want themselves to be filmed?
Or more importantly what means that they cant be filmed directly eye to eye?

Pardon, I didn't actually remember that instance. But the question still stands: why would SM randomly show up to Jay after his three-year absence? Okay, yes, it's the Slendy-basement, but you can't just tell me that that's where SM lives or something. He's a paranormal entity, he doesn't live anywhere.

EDIT: Also, Jay's camera... I dunno, exploded after filming SM. Yet Alex's were always fine to film to their little heart's content(s). Would it be safe to assume that TTA's cameras would malfunction as well?

Basically, only Alex has been able to record Slenderman and not have to shell out a fortune to buy a new camera.

I definitely agree with the theory that SM is an Alex-specific phenomena, just as TTA is a J-specific phenomena. As far as we know, he never targeted Alex, never tried to use him. Just as SM has only shown up near J precious few times.
The theory about Return being three/four years ago, during SM's haunting of Alex, makes so much sense when you think about it. That's definitely alex/brian's house where the majority of the Slenderfootage was filmed... but I have to disagree that SM looks like he's coming down the stairs. I always thought that in Return, J was sitting in the same spot he found the Slendydoll in... I.E. upstairs, in the hallway where I can presume the door to Alex's room is found. It seems so logical that the footage comes from Alex's camera, as well... he did have surveillance everywhere and had managed to catch mostly-clear footage of sm several times at that point. J caught him on tape only once, and that killed his camera.

On that topic, for SM showing up in the Slendybasement to J... I have a theory. Humor me for a minute.

What if J was not only sent to the PLACE where Seth disappeared, where Alex filmed his last tape, but the TIME as well?I'd need to double-check this, but I think at some point during 23 I swore I heard voices.... I'd need someone with some audio software to play with this with me, but I think maybe he's hearing Alex calling for Seth.

So there's the idea that J could have been transported back to the night of Seth's disappearance and Alex's last tape. If the Return theory makes sense, then it wouldn't be the first time he'd traveled back in time, and it explains why he caught SM on tape- SM was there the night of the events in 22's tape.

If this is true, (because this thread is about TTA which I've been forgetting) then is it possible TTA SENT him back in time both times? He disappeared in 19 after Masky broke into his room... so is it that Masky warped him to the place he was at in Return? Likewise, it was his chase of Masky around the house that led him through the door that took him to the Slendybasement. Is it sufficient to say Masky has time-warping abilities, or was this all an accident?

 		I was wondering if anyone noticed the correlation of events between Alex and Jay.

Alex moved from his house to a place he thought was safer (Brian's house) after weird stuff started happening.
So did Jay (from apartment to hotel)

Both Jay and Alex became extremely paranoid and started filming themselves.

I think Alex was stalked by ToTheArk/Masky as well. So that's another correlation.

Possible Proof for TTA/Masky Stalking Alex:
ToTheArk's Exit Response to Entry 13. Jay was sent back to Alex's car to retrieve tapes where ToTheArk collected this footage. It would be probable to specuate that ToTheArk was following Alex, not Jay, at that point.
