 		isn't it a bit odd that Jay is more freaked out/worried about the Hoody appearance than the earlier part of the video, which clearly shows him being menaced by the operaator?

Where does it say he's more worried about Hoody? The twitter seems to say he doesn't like either part of the tape.

I'd be disturbed too if I have yet another reason to look behind my back often. The Operator was a known danger already. A new player most likely complicates things.

Jay's camera could be holding the same Slenderescence (?) that caused Slenderman to revisit Alex once Amy turned on the camera?


Entry #23 was when J first filmed him, so 40 is the 2nd time filming him.


though that camera died right after, first time on this camera. if SM does find it easier to follow people when he gets on the camera or whatever then blasky is being a little less than friendly.

 		If the "filming the Operator taints the camera" theory proves true, this could actually lend credence to the theory that the masked character is Alex, regardless of whether it is TTA.

Alex already knows about the dangers of the Operator and if Tim's mask really does somehow protect him from the Operator's notice, perhaps Alex feels that the mask would likewise protect him even though he handled and appeared on the camera.

I've always assumed that the Operator is a kind of transmitter/receiver, and as he has no eyes this is how he searches. I think the transmissions he emanates are what cause the camera to distort, jump and switch on and off as well as causing memory loss in his victims, but also that he can put images or thoughts into his victims hence Alex's ''forget what I see'' scribbles, and it may be something like this that drove TiMasky mad.

As a receiver one of his abilities may be that he can tune in to cameras (possibly only ones he's tainted) so when Alex was filmed by his girlfriend in Entry #26 Alex suddenly became very uncomfortable as if he knew it could draw the Operator to him and the Operator picked up on the image of Alex and transported himself there within about a minute of Alex being recorded by the camera.


So the ideas posted before about a mask being a way to evade the Operator seem to fit for me.

I'm really just gonna throw this tiny tidbit out. Because I completely agree with the idea that the mask protects them from the Operator.

Maybe Skimasky realized the same thing that Tim did? Because since TTA was there already, Slendy just went STRAIGHT AFTER JAY. yeahhh... I'll go back to my corner now.

Also, I don't know about you guys but TTA has always seemed... Masculine to me. I don't know what it is. But in the videos it just feels like a guy trying to protect someone.

Maybe I don't want TTA to be Jessica 'cause that would scare me so much more.

Also, in the hotel entries Jessica looked distraught and terrified when she mentioned memory loss, so I can't think she was lying about it. I think she plays an important part but I can't see it being TTA.


There aren't any real clues to suggest TTA's gender one way or the other, are there? Also, every other major character is male, so from a purely theatrical standpoint it would be a really awesome reveal. And as it currently stands, the character of Jessica doesn't make a whole lot of sense. She needs an explanation, whereas Seth and Brian really could just be actors for the original MH movie without any serious unanswered questions.

We know from the TTA vids that TTA: 1) is connected to the Operator, 2) knows that Jay is too, 3) is able to follow and keep tabs on him, and 4) seems insane but also 5) oddly protective of Jay. I think Jessica (slendysickness, prying into Jay's life, attacked by Tim/Masky) fits this bill better than any other person.

Also, I think the TTA films Fragments and Sidetone make it extremely unlikely that Alex is TTA.

EDIT: typo


I feel like a broken record since I say it nearly every time I see this pop up, but why do we think TTA is protective of Jay? In season one, I can see it, but then in season 2 he seems a lot more sinister and even says he/she's enjoying watching us suffer. It seemed directed at Jay to me, and I don't understand why it would be headed at Alex.

I think the fact that TTA has had plenty of opportunities to harm Jay but hasn't can make it appear that way, personally I think that he is trying to scare Jay off by creeping him out. Alex is the one TTA's really after and if Jay gets too close to Alex then he is putting himself in the firing line.

Agreeing completely on this count. There's a kinda-there T, a pretty clear T, and an absolutely clear A. The river is flowing to the right, which is consistent with the letter on the far left being the most distorted. It's too clear to be coincidence.

Jay said the camera he was using in Entry #23 broke right after filming The Operator. The camera he's using in the current entries is a different one.

Hold on, think back to Entry 17 (I think), the first Entry where Jay stated he couldn't remember the contents. The Operator was outside the whole time, and no distortion until someone started drinking water.



Can someone PLEASE! Show me in a screenshot where the operator is in Entry #17. All I see are leaves.


Not very good with Paint--but hopefully this oughta help you recognize Ol' Slendy.

Thank you so much!!
I was being naive and just refusing it to be anything other than dark leaves, but i see it now!

i would say this holds a lot of importance in tta's motives.

 		Saying Jessica was acting distraught over her memory loss doesn't mean anything. If she's TTA, you can't take her actions at face value. She'd either be deceiving Jay to throw him off, or her memory loss is a Slender-induced multiple personality deal.

Quick edit: I don't buy Jessica = TTA at all. Just pointing the above out in the name of science. Or sleuthing. Whatever.

 		Did anyone else notice that there were two bricktrees towards the beginning? What does this mean?
