I'm going with the theory that this is "Slendy's Prison" or whatever it was.I just KNEW Slendy was going to appear.

But one thing's for sure:This was one HECK of an entry.

[TBK]

I really liked the whole theory that the Masky crew was actually just Tim and a few others who were actually trying to steer Jay away from Alex rather than working with Slenderman until Jay chose on his own free will to join with Alex, but this would really put the pieces together if all this time Jay was fighting against all sides and didn't realize it.

Didn't have enough evidence until I think a few ideas in this thread convinced me otherwise, and thinking back a bit, if Tim had any intention of killing Alex he probably would have done it before, during the interview or when Tim broke into his house for example.

So many things to reconsider with this. With the Alex's birthday video, is that supposed to be when Alex first met Slendy?

So everything I wanted to say is up already, but I've been tempted to post before (previously a lurker), so excited to get in on this.

This is sort of stream-of-consciousness theorizing here, but bear with me.

This abandoned hospital, it's just the weird boiler room/basement thingy that Alex took Seth to in 22 and Jay gets magically transported to in 23, but lit up during the day so it looks a lot different, right?

If that's the case (and I believe it is) when 23 came out, it was pointed out that while Jay is exploring said building, if you crank the volume you can hear someone say "Seth?" and at the time the prevailing theory was that it was Alex, still trapped in said building.

OK, so I'm guessing that voice we heard is that of either Tim or Brian. I think Seth was the first one taken to the burned down building, followed by Tim and eventually Brian. Seth escaped first, and was the first one to post TTA entries, eventually returning to free Tim and Brian and have them join his cause as well. The "Seth?" we hear is Tim or Brian wondering if he's returned to finally free them as he promised. I'm sure there are holes aplenty in this theory, but why not throw a little at the wall, y'know?

Also, in regards to The Ark, there are TONS of animal hospitals that are named some offshoot of "Noah's Ark" nationwide. Maybe this husk of a building was an animal hospital before burning down?

I don't have anything to add to this entry, it's already basically been said. But I have another crackpot theory: Maybe Alex was trying to save Bruce.

Bear with me for a moment here. We know from this video that Alex has been serving people up to the Operator for longer than we originally thought, perhaps even before Marble Hornets was filmed. Whatever the Operator does to these people, it doesn't seem to kill them. Tim's lost his mind, Jay's lost his memories, and Alex has survived encounter after encounter. Obviously Seth. Brian, Amy, Jessica, and Sarah's fates are up in the air, but I'm inclined to believe at least a few of them are still alive, in a fashion. They could be part of TTA or they could be serving the Operator like Alex is, who knows? The only person in this entire series confirmed dead is poor Bruce, and it wasn't the Operator that killed him, it was Alex.

I'm sure Alex isn't doing all of this intentionally, every time he leads another character to the Operator he starts acting weird, his voice gets monotone, and he stops showing emotion. The Operator is controlling him in some way, but he doesn't have constant control, hence the drawings. His increasing antagonism towards Jay could be a side-effect of the control, but it could also be an indirect way of telling Jay to get the hell away from him. He knows that he's repeating his past actions, but can do little to stop it.

Now we get to when he's at the pipe. He knows Jay is following him, but due to the Operator's control he's unable to do anything except whisper "stop following me". I don't really know what he's doing in that pipe, it seems to have something to do with whatever's in that case he carries around. At any rate, he gets interrupted by Bruce. Alex isn't thinking clearly and assumes it's Jay, and in a blind rage he attacks and knocks out Bruce.

At this point he gets up and seems to consider for a second. He knows that the Operator is nearby, and he doesn't want whatever happened to Tim and the others to happen again. In a brief moment of clarity, perhaps, he takes a rock and kills him. In Alex's mind he's preventing Bruce from experiencing whatever the Operator does to people (I think he can all agree it's something pretty horrific, judging by Tim's present condition.) and also gives the Operator one less human, proxy, whatever you want to call it.

This could have pissed off the Operator, understandably so, and he's exerting far more control over Alex than previously. In entry 50 Alex's "operated" characteristics are even more pronounced. This also probably answers the question of why he didn't just take out Jay in that entry, the Operator wants both him and Jessica, and so he lets Jay go knowing that he'll come back with her.

And then there's Tim, who just sees Alex's actions as straight up murder, and gives him even more reason to hate Alex beyond what happened to him and the cast of MH (HOW MUCH DO YOU HATE etc).

Just throwing that out there, thanks in advance if you actually took the time to read all that. It's probably not true but I love alternate character interpretations.

About the asbestos-causing-the-cough-of-death theory, while I think it's very interesting and even plausible (I mean just look at the building), I find it hard to be true. For starters, one needs to have been exposed during a prolonged period of time to the asbestos of, say, the ceiling, before you develop asbestosis (unless you're exposed to a huge, and I mean huge, quantity). Even if this might be the case for Tim, it can't be for Brian, who had just arrived to the building and started coughing a few minutes (or maybe hours?) later. The same for Jay, whose cough manifested when he was searching the abandoned house out of nowhere; and Alex, who started coughing when the Operator appeared in front of him in the woods. So I think that the cough of doom should be purely attributed as a slendy sickness.

Unless... Tim did stay a lot of time in that building, and developed asbestosis, which would explain the pills he had with him, as this sickness can never truly be cured, only controlled. But he would be the only one.

Jumping back in, I just want to repeat how awesome this Entry was.

An Entry that truly met expectations, it had Brian, the Operator, lots of beautiful screenshots, and dead and/or insane people.

Also Brian is Hoody and Season three will revolve around Tim, Brian, and Jay trying to kill Alex.

>Brian shown being dragged into a room, presumably after being attacked by The Operator
>Alex walks out and leaves like a boss
Unfiction: No no guys, obviously Brian is still alive. If he were dead, it would mean my pet theory is wrong!
