I'm going to miss this thread when I go on vacation for a week. ;~;

Anyways, it seems we've exhausted all we can ask and talk about for this video. Nothing much to go over unless we tediously work on each picture with photoshop.

Face #1: At 0:31 to 0:42. The picture is rotated, in order to see it, rotate the image 90° counter-clockwise. The figure is half-cut off by the frame on the left. Some people consider this Jay or Brian.

Face #2: 0:45 to 0:47. Some people say this is Tim.

Face #3: 0:48 to 0:50. I think it is acknowledged that this is Alex. Glasses, although distorted and blurred, are visible on the lower end of the nose.

Face #4: 0:51 to 0:53. Again, the picture is rotated. Rotate the image 90° clockwise. Some say that this figure is Tim due to sideburns (or possibly Brian, if they think Face #2 is Tim).


Face 1- to me kinda looks like Brian's headshape, although can't say it's Brian for sure as barely half the head is in frame.
Face 2- Agreed
Face 3- Agreed
Face 4- So I've had a mess around with face 4, as best I can with photobucket, and I'm convinced it's Jay, if you look the person in the pic has a fairly flat nose and a bottom lip which sticks out a little further than the top one, both very similar to Jay's features. I've included a pic of Jay for comparison, excuse the quality of it but it's the only one I could find that shows his face from the same angle. And as for the sideburns I think Jay's are big enough to be considered as a match for this picture.

I really really really really REALLY see no resemblance to any known character in any of those faces, except MAYBE the last one kind of looks like Tim.

To whoever said that a dark-ish skin tone can make you appear black in B/W, Alex is plenty pale enough. I maintain the thought that picture #3 is not caucasian.

Well, I don't personally have time to convince you, so that's about all the answer I can give.

I still maintain #3 looks shiny though (for what that observation is worth).

You have been making it a point to say this opinion to everyone who tries to reason why it could be different. Rather...forcefully I might add. Since the faces were morphed in shape, would it be hard to swallow that the colors were brightened/darkened as well into the lovely shades of grey we see?

The faces have been twisted beyond my recognition anyway, I can see the possibilities that many have suggested. The only reason that I believe that these could be characters we already know is that TTA has been much more direct and (sorta, kinda, maybe) coherent recently and unknown people wouldn't really make sense in that context.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
That and a rule of good storytelling--it's just downright cool to make a connection further down the line that makes videos such as this much clearer.


Of course, on this board everything is opinions really, and I have no right to say otherwise.

Hope this makes sense, I'm tired.

Just a couple notes on Inquiry.
Complete and total speculation.

They might have been mentioned, they might not have.. I've read a good majority of the thread, just not all of it.

I'll throw out my two cents about things. We have all pretty much confirmed for ourselves that TTA = Hoody as evidenced by the return of Jay's camera. I do not believe Jay's twitter post about multiple Maskies is a red herring, considering the extreme variations of styles in regards to videos. I'll also note the fact that included in Season 2 has only been a cast of 6 characters; Jay, Alex, Hoody/TTA, Tim, Jessica and TTP (who I believe has no real bearing, just added a bit of substance).

I'll point out my own thoughts, despite what others have said, on the individuals depicted within.

The first photo; [You Are You]; This is Jay. You can try to convince me otherwise but you won't succeed. TTA's videos address Jay, not other characters. This is the first video to do so, to my knowledge. TTA has always been singularly fixed upon Jay, for some reason.

The second photo; [But Who Are You]; People have mentioned him as having long hair, the cleft has been noted and the fact Brian has one also noted. I don't believe it's hair considering the lack of male characters present who have long hair.
I believe this second photo is Hoody, without the mask. It doesn't look like hair (to me), it looks like a hood. Secondly, notice the entire left side of the face is distorted, misshapen. I believe this extends down to the chin, you just can't see it because it's clipped there. The chin is a red herring. Third, the nose. Brian's nose does not look like that.. Seth's does though. Pictures included for reference. Fourth, fifth, and sixth as to why I now believe it's Seth and not Brian aside from the things I've noted; the bullet in Brian's house suggests someone met an untimely end there and we do not actually know what happened to Seth in Entry 22. Brian probably was part of TTA at some point (note Exit). How Seth became involved is up for speculation (Slenderoperated after Entry 22?). Being the camera man for MH, Seth had access to some of the footage depicted in TTA's videos.

The third photo; [Who Are You]; The only male character in the cast to wear glasses is Alex. I will note, however, this figure does not seem to heavily resemble him in any other manner. It could be the distortion but the hair just seems off.. I'm willing to let it slide though and I'm sure there's someone who has already posted photos for comparison.

The fourth photo; [Who Are You 2nd]; Last but not least. Tim. The sideburns give it away, at least to me.

With that in mind, I'll wrap this up with my belief that TTA is currently Jessica, though comprised of every existing MH Member to date and all of them being Slenderoperated [at least, those alive]. Jessica would have no knowledge of Seth, Brian nor Tim presumably. As for a lack of knowledge in regards to Alex, you could probably attribute this to the amnesia effect they seemed to suffer but that Jessica still remembers Jay because of their recent Hotel escapades.

As for Amy and Sarah.. That remains to be seen. I'll conclude this discussion with the thought that Sarah has already met her end at some point, being construed as expendable (No conclusive evidence to suggest this but meh -- The blood on Alex perhaps?]. I also believe it's Amy's blood in the tunnel, on the chest cam.

I had a crack at some of those faces in photoshop, try and get them looking more human. I can't say how close to the original images they are, and only a couple came out looking like anything, but here we go....





Frankly, I'm not sure if they look like anyone we know. If anything, the first comes out looking more like Tim than it did, and the second doesn't look like him any more. Hum.

It was a pretty quick job, so if anybody has more time / expertise, then please do improve upon these.

If you look at pictures one cheek it looks like something is streaming down his face, like blood?

I'm fairly certain that dark streak is actually the shadow of where the eye is, that's been digitally 'pushed' downwards to distort the face. It could be blood, but I think its more likely a result of the distorting of the image. In my cleanup I obviously haven't corrected it far enough, but it's hard to do without completely smudging it beyond any recognition.

theory

Well, I have to join in here, I have lurked and watched the videos, but never commented yet.

Anyway my grand theory that I think this video confirms is that Alex is the the creator/summoner of the Operator.

I think the video that shows him as a child (entry 37) is saying that he somehow created the Operator form his imagination, perhaps a childhood nightmare, or maybe he was picked on/ abused.

This video with the heavy focus on the brain, and the fact that it shows the operator symbol through the eye, I think reinforce this. 'The eyes are the gateway to the soul.' This is also evident in the Indicator video with the baby doll (referencing childhood) has the 0 operator in its eye.

The who are you, and all the references to the mind and identities is showing us that Alex may have multiple personalities or not be who people think he is.

Especially the last entry where Alex went and seemed to submit/bow before the Operator, and then be 'possessed.'

Edit: watched entry 43 again, the Operator is not moving at all (except maybe his face, it is clear he has features, brow, nose, eye indentations, not a blank face, but it seems to move very fast,) but it almost seems like he is just a puppet, or golem (maybe just form the way they filmed) I think this is purposeful, in the other encounters he moves.

Maybe this Alex does not fully realize that he can take over the Operator body/statue and make it do what he wants, and that projection of him into the statue is what causes all the distortion.

I know the early entries contradict this, but perhaps Alex 'summons' him and does not realize this until now, when he has more control. He seems to now be more of an external manipulator, than a victim.

I... May have to agree with you. Been wondering what the whole "Operator in the eye" thing was supposed to mean.

I think we gave the guys from MH the idea to put messages in the spectrograph. Seeing that they only started doing it since someone posted one on these forums.

Or... TTA is a member of this very forum... But who could it bALL HAIL SLENDERMAN
