Jay should just show him the entries. I would start with the ones from the timmytapes and then move on to other entries that he's in.

Gawsh, it was exciting to read that from Jay. I would really like to see him try and come clean with Tim after all this time, it could lead to a lot of the answers that we need, and it could lead to a lot of interesting character development. Given the state Tim was in by the time they left the annex, I have no idea how well the latter would take it, but I'm thinking it might shake him enough to tell Jay what history he has with that building. Since he seems to be a pretty amiable guy, I could imagine him dropping his whole fuss with Jay and be apologetic about it, so I'm thinking he'll take it...not hotly, just some other way. Can't imagine it'll be easy on him though, if he's really forgotten.

If he's faking it...I don't know, I don't even really want to consider that possiblity. It just seems like it would be a really cheap reveal to me, unless there's a series of really complex and compelling reasoning to back it all up. If it happens, I'll have to accept it, but I've grown so sure to thinking that his forgetfullness is of no kidding. At this point, though, one can never know for sure. Him saying he and Alex never went to the hospital so casually, though, gave me all the more reason to believe that he's being honest.

If anyone's familiar with a "Memory Gambit", you know it as a trope where a character deliberately erases specific memories from their minds completely, sometimes with a plan to remember them later, or sometimes never, but in either case, the 'gambit' part comes from it being part of their intended plan/goal.

What if Masky isn't a second personality, and what if Timnesia isn't something random or out of Tim's own control, two possibilities we focus on a lot? What if Tim deliberately somehow wiped his memories, and his subconscious is trying to tell him to be wary of the annex, etc., because he never wants to remember certain events or knowledge?

tl;dr, Tim caused his own amnesia, and Jay's screwing it up for him.

Side note: We know Jay has lost a couple memories from the filming of the student film, what if he did the same thing to himself 6 years ago after crap went down?

Actually... if Jay wanted to show Tim the entries, he should show him the last parts of 57 and the one where Alex wants him to guess what's battery-powered.

Uhhhh if you had people break into your house while you were inside sleeping, were stalked by an organization of creepy looking psychopaths who followed you miles away from your house, and every lead you had turned up dead, you would most certainly be reacting more like noah, not like jay.

MH is more professional in it's storytelling because of a lack of cursing, but to say that TT is less realistic because of the cursing is odd to me because I find it to be more realistic. We look down on noahs constant cursing, but in reality, anyone in his position would be the same way.


Also realize that most of the time noah is cursing, it's because he knows the observer is nearby listening to him and he's aggrivated and scared. When noah says "fuck you," it's to get us to understand his frustration. We understand Jays frustration bc we know what's going on with him, but Noah certainly comes off as more angry and scared than Jay BECAUSE of the cursing imo. Adam doesn't strike me as the kind to write out a detailed script with dialogue, he seems more like the type to just go with the flow and wing it, which is why you hear so much cursing, because he doesn't have a memorized dialogue and his brain is subconciously stalling while he thinks of his next line


The average viewer of a slender series seems to be about 16 years old (physically and/or mentally) from what I've gathered from this site, and I don't think the MH crew want cursing to be a reason people aren't allowed to watch / stop watching it. That and the lazy writing thing they mentioned once. Whereas Adam doesn't care about that factor, because it's fitting with Noah's personality.


So yeah, while I don't enjoy that every other line is a curse all the time (i do feel that we are exagerrating a little bit), it does seem more realistic to me given the situation. We all know that Amy would have been screaming obscenities in 26 if the situation was real.

Sorry for the long post, just felt like people were overlooking the positives that come out of noah's reactions to things, and also comparing the two series unfairly in that aspect.

Hell is not a curse. Did your parents raise you that tight knit?
