Did a user on Twitter actually link Jay that picture? I can't find anything.

I'm fairly certain that this is their way of finally debunking the "Jessica is ToTheArk/Masky/Associated-With-Them-At-All theory. Finally.

If it means anything, Jay did refer to TTA as "they."

Well, he still doesn't know if ToTheArk's a male or a female. The character Jay technically has a whole world of people to choose from. We know, from an OOG standpoint, that there are actually very few previously introduced characters to choose from and that it would be rather stupid to create an entirely new character and keep their identity a secret. There wouldn't be a surprising reveal if ToTheArk was a new character!

But, Jay made a point to say that it seems like ToTheArk has ONLY been using footage of Jessica that Jay has previously recorded, meaning that the only contact or association ToTheArk has had with Jessica is knowing that mentioning her works very efficiently at guilting Jay into doing what he wants.

Think about when Jay mentioned that the difference in tones in the ToTheArk videos seemed like "they were made by different people". Cut to the introduction of Hoody. That was a foreshadowing. This is a debunking.

I thought he made that tweet much later in the season. Or am I misremembering?

Well, the original tweet that I was referring to was posted on July 8th, 2011. Not sure if that's within the time period you were referring to. The exact tweet was:

Quote:
Those videos are so inconsistent it's like they're being made by different people. No way I can prove that, though.


But, I found an even earlier tweet where Jay made a point to mention some duality in the ToTheArk responses. This tweet was posted on January 12th, 2010:

Quote:
I don't like the fact that it says "us" in the video.


The tweet was referring to the ToTheArk video Attention which has the text "Return to us".

Entry #41, Hoody's first appearance (not counting the figure seen in Entry #39), was uploaded on May 25th, 2011.

Now that this whole "inconsistent ToTheArk videos" thing has been brought up again... I just got to thinking... Has anyone ever tried organizing the TTA videos by their style?

I'm almost certain that videos that show blocky text are Hoody's, because of Entry #61's text being accompanied by Hoody throughout the video.

So maybe, using that, we can conclude that the following videos are Hoody's:
Sidetone (the numbers that flash have that text), Intermission, Indicator (which makes sense, considering that the baby doll was found where Hoody took Tim and Jay), Memories, Classified, Sidenote, Extraction (likely Hoody's message TO Masky), Reminder, Decay, Reference, Isolation, Display, Surveillance

Which would mean that the remaining videos are:
Regards, Operator, Deluge, Impurity, Exit, Program, Advocate, Addition, Signal, Version, Attention, Admission, Warning, Fragments, Broadcast, Forecast, Inquiry, Session, observation

Going more specifically into style besides just text, the old-timey styles of Inquiry, Session, and observation seem drastically different from the other totheark videos. Also, the videos that feature the strange S symbol (confirmed, anyway) are Program and Advocate. The three of these kinds of videos could mean that, to say the least, Totheark is run by three different people, maybe more.

Using text is really risky though. Looking at videos like Attention and Admission, who's font is almost identical to the Marble Hornets "Entry #" font, some people could assume that Jay made some of those videos. The text similarities there were more likely OOG-errors or something, since it was only season 1 when those videos were made.

Obviously I'm going way too deep into it, but it's a fun idea to toss around.

What if the S is a watermark for a specific maker of the video?

I doubt it. If that's the case, why not debunk Sarah, Seth, Amy, etc.? Because that works counter to their purpose. The more theories there are, the more it helps build up the mystery of Totheark's identity, which is what they're trying to do.

Hence, this is not a debunking, it is a clue. If Totheark does not know where Jessica is, that implies that they are looking for her. And no, I do not mean that Jessica is The Ark.

Hm. About Hoody: It seems that he is trying to keep Jay motivated. He's sort of angry that Jay is slowing down, possibly giving up. But he needs him to keep moving. Hoody hasn't been hostile towards him either. Hoody, as we saw in his video, took away Tim's pills to create Masky once again. It seemed like he wanted Masky back to be part of ToTheArk with him again, but now it seems that he did this for another reason. Hoody did this to Tim because he needed Tim to see something. To see what Tim was running from. When Tim saw this, he'd understand. This lead to, as we've seen, Tim going back to Jay and helping him, now taking him to the hospital to show him something. In "surveillance", it says "sees now", I think this refers to Tim and that now Tim understands what he must do. Also, the pictures of Jessica are to push Jay to keep going. Hoody needs Jay to keep going, but he cannot interfere. So..Hoody is actually helping Jay in a way and I expect him to keep pushing and show up in Entry #66. Any other ideas?

Very perplexing. If we're meant to infer that Jessica is not a member of TTA, why make her look so intimidating in the video? Maybe it means that The Operator controls her and TTA is trying to warn Jay to not go after her.

And yes, definitely expecting a Hoody appearance in Entry #66.

So assuming that Jay is correct (which I'm skeptical about since he's acted as an ignorant protagonist before), it seems like Isolation might be meant to be taken literally. Interesting.

I don't think we're necessarily meant to infer this, especially because of Surveillance. You're assuming that the proxies (that's the proper term, correct?) are all part of TTA, and that they all share the same motive. My guess is that you're right about Jessica/her alter ego working under The Operator, but that TTA is searching for her.

That could also be the case... I'll add that to my previous post.
