I'm inclined to think this is a lot simpler. As Zeta Kai pointed out earlier (page 7, I think it was), even as simple as the doodle is, it appears to match a bit of scenery in #40; I'm betting there's a noggin half-visible behind a tree in there. In other words, TTA really is just taunting Jay with this "Did you see me? I saw you!" stuff.

That's twice in a row now, though. I wonder if he's feeling all lonely in his creeping peeper boots, always watching from a distance. Don't be shy, TTA! Maybe Jay will like you back!

But anyhow--after driving myself batty rewinding and rewatching #40 around the 2:15-2:25 point and telling myself that wasn't a guy stepping behind a tree, just a weird too-dark tree shape, now I'm all unsure again.

Just posting my theory on some things. I've read through a lot of the forum and do a lot of lurking, but not a ton ofnposting. Although, if I missed a post that said something similar to mine... Sorry for trouting.

I think the ark = the Operator. Hear me out before saying anything. Totheark has not yet shown what side they are truly on, so there is much speculation as to who the man behind the YouTube account really is. Way back, I'm pretty sure in entry ####, the voice in the video said, "You will lead me to the ark." to me, it see,s as though J has been used as bait for our tall, slender friend. Alex called J and told him to go to Rosswood Park. Next thing you know, SLENDY. Also, the time that J goes to the house and encounters the Operator, totheark's message beforehand had said, "Come back, find me." not only did J find Masky, he also found the Operator. But only after chasing Masky through the house. Bait for Slendy? I think so.

This theory adds to the idea that Alex is totheark. Why? The question is more, who has been followed by the Operator since he was young? That, my friends, would be Alex Kralie. If you had noticed a tall, slender, faceless being stalking you since you were very young, wouldn't you try to find a way to find said being? Also, by now, Alex has probably noticed what we all have noticed- that videocameras attract the slender one. By using J to video document everything, he attracts his stalker, thus, the ark. Alex is merely trying to figure out what the Operator is and why he is being stalked.

I don't know, it might be nonsense. But I'm doing the most that any of us can do- speculate.

On the point about the ark being kept behind a curtain...

If TTA is behind the curtain, that would imply that he has found the Ark. If we assume he's responsible for Entry ##### - which I think is fairly credible, he likes to show he has control over Jay's situation and freaky-ass videos are a pretty well-established MO of his - then he's gone from a position of seeking the ark to already attaining it at some point between then and now. If it had happened during this season I'd have thought that'd be more obvious. (Like, he'd release a video called "TRIUMPH" or something.) Plus, he was pretty insistent that it would be Jay who led him to the Ark, and Jay hasn't really led anyone to anything this season.

So, let's work on the assumption that TTA found the Ark (possibly with Jay's assistance) at some point during the 7-month gap. Then why is he still communicating? Basically, to gloat. His messages last season were along the lines of "HEY I HAVE A SECRET, YOU SHOULD PROBABLY TRY TO FIND OUT WHAT IT IS" and "HEY YOU SHOULD DO THIS" and "HEY YOU SHOULD RELEASE THAT TAPE OF THE MASKED DUDE" and "I'M WATCHING YOOOOOU". This time around the tone is different; the videos are almost all to the effect of "I'M WATCHING YOU" and "YOU ARE BROKEN, YOU CAN'T BE FIXED". He's no longer prompting Jay to do things, he's just mocking Jay's efforts to piece together what happened in the 7 months.

So, implications of that, if we assume TTA already has the Ark:

- TTA is Tim. Not even a smashed leg could slow him down for very long - teleportation powers, dude - and when Jay and Alex teamed up to investigate Slendy TTA was able to follow along and make a grab for the Ark once they encountered it (whatever it is).

- TTA is Alex. Having got to Jay, he gets Jay to lead him to the Ark under the pretence of helping him work out what's going on with Slendy.

I would also say that if TTA already has the Ark then that's another thing which makes me think season 2 is all a big staged event in which Jay is an unwitting participant. If TTA has the Ark, then from his point of view he's already "won". Maybe this whole staged thing is just TTA giving the Ark's powers a test run? Or perhaps it's a ritualised thing which TTA has to orchestrate as part of his new role as keeper of the Ark? Which leads me to my third theory...

- Tim and Alex are working as a team, and one or both of them is TTA. It would explain an awful lot - why TTA has access to a bunch of Alex's old footage, but at the same time was recording Jay at the same time as Alex was off encountering Slendy in that building. It explains why TTA was able to get shots in Entry ##### which, to me, look like the sort of thing which would be way easier if you had a second person operating the camera. (That said, I think if Tim and Alex are working as a team then Tim is probably responsible for most of the TTA stuff - it would explain why there seems to be such a close connection between TTA vids and Masky stuff, for one thing.)

Under this theory, the encounter in the abandoned building where Alex hurts Tim was staged, just like the hotel stuff and Jay's awfully fortuitous rediscovery of the tapes has been staged. The leg-breaking was real, of course, but it may have been decided that such a thing was necessary to convince Jay that Tim and Alex weren't on the same sides (likewise, Alex may have agreed with Tim that Tim might have to cut him for the same purpose). Agreeing to have your leg smashed with a big rock is, of course, a pretty psycho thing to do - but so is capering about in that mask and teleporting places. Perhaps the Ark is so powerful that, for a share of that power, Tim is willing to do pretty much anything Alex asks.

Crazy theory time!
I've heard people say that from entry 38 onward the intro font has changed, and that makes them think Jay isn't in control of the YT channel any more.
Now that we know TTA was nearby when #40 happened, this is actually more likely, with TTA now in control of the MH channel (beacuase Jay never tweeted that he remembered the password, but just continued uploading entries).
Probably isn't true though.

Skimmed through, didn't see this idea really.





look familiar?



and yes I am in the Tim = Masky = TTA. Deal with it haters

I'm probably oversimplifying things, but I took the "behind the curtains" thing as TTA saying he is "hiding behind the curtain" stalking him, and that at this very moment he is still right behind Jay.
It's hard to explain, but it's like when you're alone in the house, and it's dark and you feel someone might be hiding behind the curtains getting ready to kill you. That's TTA.

Has there ever been much thought given to the possibility that the titles of TTA's videos are out of order? Like, the name of one video actually referring to the content of another video, and so forth.

I just can't figure out what the significance of the title is, aside from the curtain reference. Now, if he'd posted it while Jay wasn't uploading videos during the season break, it'd make sense. But as of right now I can't think of what this would be an intermission of =/ maybe we'll find out...
