oooooh. i really really like this. not the most knowledgeable on Judaism, but i know that the curtain in a temple separates the rest of the temple from a room that only a high priest could enter once a year or something.

aaaarg. i really wish i could remember. if someone with slightly more knowledge on the subject want to correct me and tell it how it really is, please do so.

quick, someone ask tribe twelve's noah!

for those wanting the ark to have some sort of religious relevance, like the ark of the covenant or noah's ark, there you go.

Haha, I just found the theory in a comment on Youtube and thought it was worth mentioning here. My religious knowledge is more or less nonexistant. I'd Wiki it for accuracy, but I'm not nearly motivated enough ^_^;

Okay so, after reading through this monster of a thread I have a few ideas, though they might all be crap. So pardon the potential crap.

1) The humanoid figure in the sketch looks like it is coming either out of the tree or its roots. It also appears to be trapped. Like within a cobweb of some kind.
2) With the tree pasted on as it was, and following with what I have for 1, this might mean a few things:
a- A new hollowed out person (Jessica? Also bringing some "The Tutorial" into this)
b- Arky
c- Masky
3) Also from "The Tutorial", tress are believed to be Slendy's source of power?
4) A totally different Idea going along with what a few other people have said is that Jessica was in the forest at the time that Jay met with Slendy, and that could be her by the tree, scared out of her wits. This would explain why she is part of this mess. She sees Slendy, is brought into the Madness, has memory loss, then present day where she disappears.


Or I could be a complete 'tard. : D

Also fun little detail, at .09 in "Intermission" the ground slightly to the right has a break in it with two trees jutting out from it.

That's it from me. Hope I could help in some way.

Long time lurker here. I really agree with what randoman said here though. I have to bring something up after reading this whole thread: Why would totheark need to draw this scene? I'm guessing they didn't have a camera yet. It seriously looks most likely to me that Jessica was out in the woods when Jay ran into the Operator- she draws herself afraid and draws what she saw out there, then she picks up the camera and voila! we have actual film instead of drawings. I'm not saying Jessica was totheark the whole time, but she seems to be accidentally drawn into this whole Operator business.


Uh, TTA had a camera in Forecast, which I think we concluded was before this. Could be wrong though.

And Zaden, you do realize that all they use to edit is Sony Vegas 9, right? It's just that, editing software. It doesn't do super fancy videoshop, it just edits and does effects. And I would know, I use it for my own videos.

Going on the theory that "Intermission" is a reference to entry 40 marking the end of the season's first act...perhaps, if totheark happened to pick up the camera at the end of 40, the second act of the season will be comprised of videos recorded from his/her/its perspective.

If it is, well then I am pretty excited.

There's a section of suspicious footage in Entry 40, starting at 2:13 and ending with a weird cut at 2:32. I think the forest filmed here is what TTA drew in Intermission. Many of the features in the picture show up during this short clip (a broken tree with many trees surrounding it). If the two do match up, this is a very relevant area for TTA to draw.

Consider the question/statement "DID YOU SEE ME". Since Jay cannot remember what actually happened, and since we did not spot ToTheArk in Entry 40, this really only makes sense as a mocking statement "You did not see me because...". It is very possible that the suspicious cut at 2:32 prevented Jay from filming ToTheArk, and that ToTheArk was responsible for it.

"Intermission" may refer to the break between those two sections of footage. Before that break, Jay is going to meet up with Alex. After that break, Jay is walking straight toward the broken chimney where he will encounter the Operator. In plays, whoever is "behind the curtain" is responsible for changing scenes for the next act. ToTheArk may be claiming responsibility for Jay's Operator encounter. This "act break" has happened to Jay several times before. Most notably, it happened in "the house" during Jay's daylight trip, where Jay encountered the Operator.

I'm so very reminded of the thorough analyses art museum curators put on things like oddly shaped rocks.

well, to be honest, this is one of the more enlightening TTA posts; it doesn't say much directly, but it sets up quite a lot, and it has a lot of potential meaning. Anyways, this is an ARG, we are supposed to synthesize beyond human reason, and speculate until hell freezes over Razz

Well, it all boils down to one simple fact: some people find it entertaining to speculate and theorize about a story that matters to them. Sure, deep down, they probably realize that the claims they make are largely groundless, and that even their most deftly-reasoned hypotheses will likely be contradicted at some point...but still. It's fun.

As Deepak Chopra said, "The journey is the destination." In other words, the act of trying to guess what path the narrative will take or what some cryptic picture signifies is far more enjoyable to some than just passively watching the story unfold. It's a hobby, not some sort of pursuit of the actual, objective "truth" behind Marble Hornets. Nobody cares if they're right or wrong. That's not the point.

If you are not one of these people, okay. If you are but demand a higher, more rational quality of analysis, okay. But complaining without contributing is pointless. You don't have to read the forum, you know...

This is probably the craziest theory ever and I am a little afraid to post it. This is a huge compilation of what a bunch of other people have been saying on this entry, added in with a bit of my own crazy ideas. O3O

Maybe, very very maybe, the whole thing is like a giant play. And I'm going to go off on a tangent here and use many references to the Wizard of Oz, because in this case, it seems to fit very well with most of the things that are going on.

Everyone can recall in the Wizard of Oz movie how the four protagonists endlessly chant that they are off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz. The Wizard is the thing that they are all searching for and the very goal that they strive to reach. I feel as if 'the ark' could possibly be just like the Wizard. Totheark is especially verbal of how he strives to see it, find it, or whatever.

The Operator is pretty comparable to the witch, or pretty much the main antagonist in the play. Besides the fact that both the witch and the Operator have some sort of weakness to water (or so it is thought, which I personally think is pretty legit), they are both things that are very much feared and make random appearances and cause havoc and whatnot. And here is just something random I just thought of: the Operator wants Jay's precious little camera. Kind of like ruby slippers? Iunnolol or he just wants to keel him.

And with the whole "intermission" and "behind the curtain" thing, maybe this just represents how totheark is kind of like a man behind the scenes sort of guy. And even if he is just standing behind the curtain and watching all of that stuff happening, he still has a certain amount of power over the performance, because without him, there would be no person to pull the curtain up and show the play. And he can just as easily pull the curtain down and put everything to a halt.
One example of how totheark has "control" over the play of Marble Hornets is in Entry 33 when everything seems all fine and dandy and Jay is gunna run off with Jessica somewhere, but something goes terribly wrong and Jessica is gone and Masky is in her place. It would make sense if Masky is totheark in this case, since Masky is in Entry 33 to bring Jay's plans to a halt.

And, perhaps, if our Marble Hornets story is at an "intermission" right now, it won't be too long before they all reach the Emerald City, where not too far within there lies the Wizard, or in this case, the Ark.

Tl;dr everythings a play lol and we mights be seeing what the ark is gais

Hahahah. Now That I reread this, this is pretty ridiculous. I'll see what you guys think.
