 		Passing Down Theory
My theory about TiMasky and the whole series
I've been carrying around this theory for many months now, and since the game is on in-between season pause, I feel I should lay it out for all you guys.

NOTE: When I mean "the whole series", I don't mean I'm going to answer every point of speculation. I'm not going to go into things like what is The Operator, how he got the way he is, or why he does what he does. I feel Troseph is not (and should not) going to answer those questions, and I'm not going to try either.

That said, here's the theory:

From enttry 37, we find out that Alex has been pursued by The Operator since his childhood. After a certain period of time, up to the middle of production of Marble Hornets, Alex is oblivious to what is going on. He soon realizes something is wrong with his life, and begins to film himself to keep track. Several of the entries which we can definitely date as mid or early production go in this time period (I'll get to the later dated entries in a moment). Alex watches them several times over, and for the first time in his life, realizes The Operator is in his life.

Now, Alex goes from running to pursuing The Operator. Through several events, Alex manages to find The Operator and is somehow able to communicate with it. Alex finds out The Operator needs an assistant for his own ends, and makes Alex a deal: work with The Operator, and he'll stop pursuing him. After finally realizing what The Operator can do, he gives in.

However, it becomes apparent to Alex that The Operator does not simply want an assistant; it wants someone to give its powers to. For whatever reason, Alex cannot be given powers, so Alex has to find someone who can be given them. At this time Marble Hornets has reached mid-production. Alex puts up a show for the cameras, acting like he is the victim of The Operator, all the while seeking out for a member of his crew to be given The Operator's powers. Alex is unable to find one, and decides to give The Operator every one on the crew to convert, as if they could not be given the full content of TO's powers, they could still become assistants. However, right off the bat, Alex and The Operator get their man: Tim.

Tim then goes under the conversion process to become Masky. At times he would be taken off the set and out of his life by The Operator, at times he would be working at the set while suffering side effects seen in Entry 20, and at times he would be living his normal life, with no side effects, oblivious to the work behind the scenes. Slowly, the powers (or some variation of them) are transferred to Tim.

But something goes wrong. The conversion process to become Masky does not exactly work as planned. For whatever reason, Tim does not go completely under The Operator's spell. At times he would work for The Operator, not questioning anything, at times he would know and have his powers while not under The Operator, and at times he would be not knowing of anything. Perhaps this was due to the extent of his powers, perhaps he was resisting, perhaps Brian finding him in Entry 51 did something, the answer is not certain. For whatever reason, this happens to Tim. As time goes on, the conversion gets worse and worse, as Tim starts to take the medication seen in Entry 20 in order for him to remember the Operator and his powers while not being "evil". Alex always makes sure to watch Tim, and manages to squash any resistance from Tim in order to convert the whole crew.

But Alex slips up. Tim finally manages to figure out who and what is behind the scenes and realizes that if he does not do something soon, The OperAlex will win. Realizing Jay has not been converted, over a period of time, Tim does a small version of the power transfer process and gives Jay a small extent of his powers. Jay however is not aware of this and would only be able to use the powers during times of stress or at random intervals (like when being chased out of the hotel later on by Tim or at his house in Entry 24). This however is enough to distract The Operator and/or Alex from being converted. This however had no effect on the others, and everyone else is converted. Just as Alex gets to Jay, Tim resists and it becomes apparent to the OperAlex that they need to flee. Realizing Jay has been given powers, and to give him and The Operator some time to regroup and flee, Alex gives Jay the tapes he shot depicting him as a victim when he was actually an assistant, and The Operator then puts Tim under again to become Masky.

The rest of Season One then occurs here. Alex and The Operator, with the Marble Hornets crew save for Jay in tow, do several things out of Jay's sight, including possibly sending The Operator out to other Slendyblogs. Meanwhile Tim stays behind to antagonize Jay, all the while under the Operator's spell. Sometime before Entry 26, Alex is allowed to have a normal life again, with the reminder that The Operator could "pick him up" at any time.

Fast forward to Entry 26. Alex once again has a normal life with Amy. I'm going to assume that some time has passed since Alex has left The Operator, based on his reaction to the camera when Amy pulls it out. His reaction to me is not of someone who has successfully fled the Operator, it is one of someone who has worked with someone evil and is trying to move on. By this time, Jay has worked his way through Alex's tapes, and is now dealing with Tim. The Operator, realizing this, decides now it is time to pick up Alex, and this is what we see in Entry 26; not The Operator finally finding Alex and taking Amy, but The Operator taking Alex back under his wing in order to finally get rid of Jay.

Tim however has snapped out of The Operator's spell, thanks mainly to his medication. Knowing Alex's real intentions, he attempts to stop Alex in Entry 35, but Alex and an un-knowing Jay defeat him. Tim is not deterred by this, and during Alex and Jay's visits to Rosswood, he follows the two to make sure Jay is not killed or otherwise harmed. In Entry 45, Tim again attempts to harm Alex, but this time with the help of the Marble Hornets crew. Once again, they are unsuccessful, with The Operator scaring them off and saving Alex. Entry 50 is an example of Tim monitoring Jay. Finally, we get Entry 52, where Alex attempts to kill Jay and Jessica when he thinks Tim is not nearby, but he is wrong. Tim manages to finally defeat Alex, and sends him deep into the forest with his powers. Alex wakes up with his chest camera as well as another camera, and this is the footage we see in Entry 29. Alex has no memories of The Operator, and The Operator takes Alex to give his memories back and to become the new Masky. The Operator finally gives up on Tim being Masky, and spirits Alex away for the conversion process, but not before erasing Jay's memories in his hotel room.

About totheark: Based on what I found, I believe in Season One totheark was Tim, while in Season Two totheark was Alex. I feel I've laid out my reasoning previously, but I am willing to elaborate on this

Based on my theory, I believe Season Three will be about:
*Tim and Jay finally working together to defeat The OperAlex
*Finding Jessica
*Jay finding out his powers
*Alex receiving powers from the Operator

That's the whole theory. I'm willing to try to answer other questions, and I appreciate any feedback or comments on this. I wrote all of this basically within two hours after I woke up, so if anything seems just plain wrong, blame it on that. Once again, if you have anything to add on anything I've said, please comment below.

Thanks guys.

 		This is definitely an interesting read, but I find it hard to buy your "Jay has powers" angle. Could you give some more justification for this?

I'm exactly on this one. A couple of things that "bothered" me:

1) Alex filming #29 is just plain wrong: in #52, Alex points the gun towards Jay and Jessica, Tim shows, fight, shot. Jay and Jessica run back to their cars and then Jay sees the chest camera in Alex's car. There's no way Alex could have gotten the camera, filmed all #29 and then putted it back in his car seat while Jay and Jessica were running back to their cars. Besides is not even the correct daytime (in #29 is almost night). Could be explained by teleportation, but it's too far fetched.

2) The whole idea of Alex working with The Operator is too far fetched too, and not only in this theory: I think he's just plain crazy and the "team up" thing with Oppy is nothing but desperate efforts from Alex to shake The Operator off his back. That, or he's really trying to find Amy...

3) All the powers-idea is too far fetched to work. Of course, this is only my opinion.

4) Alex being TTA in S2: One of TTA's videos in S2 points Alex of being "broken". How do you explain that? It's like a Lampshade Hanging that Alex does not need to have...

Besides all the "flaws" I've mentioned, is a good theory though.

EDIT: Also another thing you should think about:

In S1 Jay goes several times to "da hause". Now, I'm not sure if it has been confirmed that house to be Brian's, but the general concensus says it is. There, Jay finds a bullet case. Then, in S2 two things happened:
1) We see the return of Brian.
2) Guess who has a gun?
Now I think we have what is called a "paradigm crisis". The paradigm not longer works; we have Brian alive and kicking, but we also have Alex as the possible murderer of the house's owner. Would it be possible that the owner of the house were not Brian? I'm thinking of Sarah... she just dissapears, it would be a good explanation of whatever happened to her...
Or maybe, Alex has hurted Tim once before #35, and that would be the gunshot. After all, we do find evidence that Tim were in that house before Jay finds him sitting in the couch: the mattress and water bottle in the closet and the pills seemed to be a hint of Tim staying in that house.

 		Thanks for the feedback, I'll try to address these.
1.) Alex filming Entry 29- I think you're missing something here. I think The Operator would be able to put the camera back. And I don't mean "he puts the camera back" as in "He was able to run to the car ahead of Jay and Jessica and put the camera in" I mean The Operator was able to do some sort of manipulation and could put the camera back. We know The Operator/Slender Man could do just about anything, so I think it's perfectly possible that Tim sends Alex, erases his memories, gets to the tunnel, is picked up by The Operator, and then The Operator is able to time travel back to put the camera back. I know, it's far-fetched, but we've seen The Operator, I feel it's logical under the circumstances.

2.) Alex and The Operator teaming up- This is far-fetched, but I feel that the evidence points to this. If The Operator is really after Alex, how would he be able to get out of the apartment in Entry 46? Why would Alex in his right mind stay in the forest in Entry 50? Yes, one can say he's trying to get back at The Operator, but once again, The Operator can do anything he gosh darn pleases, and Alex should know this by now, so that does not make sense. The biggest piece of evidence for me is Entry 51: why would Alex bring Brian and Tim to The Operator? To me, it only makes sense if the two are working together. Rewatch Entry 51 under that view and I think things might make a little more sense.

3.) Powers- I knew this would be the main point of debate. Bear with me on this one. With Entry 24, we have Jay opening one door of his house- and not appearing out the other side. I'm stating the obvious here, but the big question is: how? Tim has no reason to do that. We're never given ANY reason why Tim or The Operator would want that. Then, why did this happen? I'm assuming this can be chalked down to something with Jay. Then we go to Entry 33. We know the location of his room, and yet we see him running out of a completely different room. Someone can say this is a simple production error, and leave it at that. But I don't see it as that. I see this as Jay, running for his life, without even knowing, warping into another room with Tim following him.

4.) Alex as Season Two's totheark- Imagine if you are in this situation. You are totheark. Are you going to say, "Hey, Jay, I'm totheark" or are you going to point the finger at someone or something else? This is Fragments to me. Look at it. Seems very antagonistic towards Mr. Kralie, doesn't it? That is how Alex played it; making videos, sending the same messages, while at the same time pointing the finger at someone else.

I think I've reached all your points there. I'm willing to elaborate on anything or any more questions. I know this is probably the most far-fetched theory out there, but I feel it answers the questions well enough.

The "teleporting" (if that's what it is) in 24 is something being done to Jay, not something Jay is doing. The long-standing explanation for this is that either the Operator or Masky messed up the spacetime in his house that caused the door to lead somewhere else.

The Entry 33 contradiction has not yet been resolved, but a prevailing assumption is that, again, Masky or the Operator was responsible for door-warping.

I think I've reached all your points there. I'm willing to elaborate on anything or any more questions. I know this is probably the most far-fetched theory out there, but I feel it answers the questions well enough.


1) No, it's not like I'm missing something, it's just me trying to explain things in the less far-fetched way possible: I, of course, know all the implications and the power The Operator has. He's obviously able to teleport. Time travel is discuttible, but I consider it allways as a "possible" power. But Oppy leaving the camera after chasing Alex (the same you postulate to have teamed up with him) has no sense to me. First of all, we don't know how "rational" The Operator is. We don't know how much, or if he even can, actually think and plan things out. For what we've seen, I think of him the same, for example, as ghosts or any other paranormal entity: they may appear, they may have certain powers, but how rational they really are escapes our comprehension. So, for me, saying that Oppy took the camera from the passenger seat, gave it to Alex indirectly or directly, filmed #29 (which I don't find any motive whatsoever for chasing Alex in such a hostile way [everything you may come up with is just speculation and can't be used for support your theory] and, even less, giving him the chest-cam) and then returned it back for Jay to find just lacks of sense. It's not logical even under the circunstances. Regardless, it's just my opinion.

2) Well, I see now that we were saying almost the same. I said "no" to the team-up idea because "team up" sounded to me like Alex being conciounsly evil and Oppy being too human (in the sense of conspiring with Alex to obtain what he wants), but if you mean it like Alex having to do it because he has to for acomplishing whatever his intentions are and Oppy just "not being hostile" to him because he can use him... Yeah, I totally accept that one.

3) Even if Jay does have powers, the problem with the theory, for me, is the conciousness everyone but Jay seems to have about them. You say Tim passes down his powers to him partially and that conciousness seems far-fetched... Or maybe is not that? I'm not really sure what seems far-fetched to me here.

4) Could you explain to me that point again? I don't seem to see your point. Alex is saying he's broken himself? To point his finger to TTA? Why?

Yes, this may be a far-fetched theory, but there is no useless theory. Debating even the most stupid (not this case!) theories still can point you to the right place, if I'm explaining myself clearly. Nice to debate with you, pal! I'm really enjoing this.

 		Same. You're good at this! Smile

1.) I've always considered time travel as a "possible" power as well, and probably well under The Operator's control. You mention that The Operator has his powers, but is not necessarily rational. I think this just proves my theory more: he needs Alex and/or the MH crew to give him a brain. He has the brawn, but no brain. As for the camera debacle, I don't think it was The Operator who gave Alex the cameras, it was Tim. If I was to leave someone in the middle of the woods, I would want some record of what he did. That's what Tim does here. Alex films Entry 29 with no memory and gets picked up by The Operator. Tim gets the footage, puts it on the hard drive, and there you have it.

2.) Since we agree on this, I don't have anything more to say.

3.) The main reason why everyone but Jay knows is mainly because everyone but Jay works for or used to work for the Operator. It only makes sense (I don't mean to insult you here) that Jay then doesn't know. If my theory has any relevance to what Troseph is planning, I'm assuming they'll elaborate on this in Season Three.

4.) Yeah, sorry, the wording wasn't really good on that. Basically what I'm trying to say is that particular video was a message to Jay, not Alex. I interpret it as, "You are trapped in this. You have no way of getting out of this.". I also think that this could be the last totheark video made by Tim as well, saying instead, "Alex is broken. Stay away from him." Either one I feel is equally likely.

 		I had a long post typed up in response to this, but reading it over it came off as very adversarial, and I don't want to sound that way.

Suffice to say this: the main problem I have with this theory is WHY and HOW. There are a lot of claims you make that require a bit of a logical leap, which I would be fine with if there some inkling of support. There may well be support to some of them, but you should point to it by specifically citing the entries or TTA videos in question. Further, if there are things to support your theory, why is your explanation the most likely?

In specific, these are the things you said that need more evidence to support them:

Quote:
Now, Alex goes from running to pursuing The Operator.

Quote:
However, it becomes apparent to Alex that The Operator does not simply want an assistant; it wants someone to give its powers to.

Quote:
For whatever reason, Alex cannot be given powers

Quote:
But something goes wrong. The conversion process to become Masky does not exactly work as planned. For whatever reason, Tim does not go completely under The Operator's spell.

Quote:
But Alex slips up. Tim finally manages to figure out who and what is behind the scenes and realizes that if he does not do something soon, The OperAlex will win. Realizing Jay has not been converted, over a period of time, Tim does a small version of the power transfer process and gives Jay a small extent of his powers.


If you can support those, then this is a decent theory. Until then, it's more Wild Mass Guessing.

To all of this... I'm just going to answer like your regular comedy-cliche-character would:

But... but you said... Aw, crap! I just can't keep up with this. First you say he wants an assistant. Then you say he wants brain.

http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/068/946/62223.jpg

Y U NO MAKE YOUR MIND OPERATOR!

And about Tim leaving cameras... It's not far-fetched anymore. It's just pushing-the-pieces-of-the-puzzle-which-do-not-connect-untill-they-do. That's because it's speculation over speculation over a theory (speculception?). It's just useless to me to discuss this point further: I can't refute speculation because of what it is.

EDIT: Zarggg is so beautiful and awesome that he explained the same I'm trying to say with less words and better. Check under this post.

Hummm... That may work, I have no more comments for now about this segment of the theory.

I still don't get the point. I mean, I understand what you're saying. But I don't see the point. Let me see...
"You are broken" refers, actually, to Jay and not to Alex? Well, ok, but there's a broken picture of Alex in the background... Ok, let's forget that last part... But since when "broken" means "trapped"?

Ooooh, now we're talking. Seems legit to me, and that's actually what I meant the first time I said my interpretation of that video.

(emphasis mine)

This falls apart because nowhere else in the series has time travel even been mentioned. You can't just make up concepts because they fit a particular theory you have. Any evidence you use to support your theories must come from the series itself, not pure conjecture.

That's what Tim does here. Alex films Entry 29 with no memory and gets picked up by The Operator. Tim gets the footage, puts it on the hard drive, and there you have it.


To all of this... I'm just going to answer like your regular comedy-cliche-character would:

But... but you said... Aw, crap! I just can't keep up with this. First you say he wants an assistant. Then you say he wants brain.

Y U NO MAKE YOUR MIND OPERATOR!

And about Tim leaving cameras... It's not far-fetched anymore. It's just pushing-the-pieces-of-the-puzzle-which-do-not-connect-untill-they-do. That's because it's speculation over speculation over a theory (speculception?). It's just useless to me to discuss this point further: I can't refute speculation because of what it is.

EDIT: Zarggg is so beautiful and awesome that he explained the same I'm trying to say with less words and better. Check under this post.

3.) The main reason why everyone but Jay knows is mainly because everyone but Jay works for or used to work for the Operator. It only makes sense (I don't mean to insult you here) that Jay then doesn't know. If my theory has any relevance to what Troseph is planning, I'm assuming they'll elaborate on this in Season Three.


Hummm... That may work, I have no more comments for now about this segment of the theory.

4.) Yeah, sorry, the wording wasn't really good on that. Basically what I'm trying to say is that particular video was a message to Jay, not Alex. I interpret it as, "You are trapped in this. You have no way of getting out of this.".


I still don't get the point. I mean, I understand what you're saying. But I don't see the point. Let me see...
"You are broken" refers, actually, to Jay and not to Alex? Well, ok, but there's a broken picture of Alex in the background... Ok, let's forget that last part... But since when "broken" means "trapped"?

I also think that this could be the last totheark video made by Tim as well, saying instead, "Alex is broken. Stay away from him." Either one I feel is equally likely.


Ooooh, now we're talking. Seems legit to me, and that's actually what I meant the first time I said my interpretation of that video.

1.) Once again, I feel you're missing the point. He wants an assistant, yes, and he wants a brain. He wants an assistant to have a brain. I think it's pretty simple.

2.) I never said time travel was definite or not. I said that I always thought time travel was a possible power. I know you are going to counter and say, "Then Alex didn't film Entry 29 then," but here's the thing: I agree with you, I do think this theory is not likely to be correct. Do I think it exactly outlines what follows for MH? No. Do I think it explains some of the facts in a neat package? Yes.

Yeah, that's probably what it is. Well, still no trouble, after all we all know the same and theorizing and speculating is all we can do... And that's the fun of this series. The thing we are going to miss after it ends, besides not knowing what's next, who's who and all those not answered questions, is coming here to say what we think.
