Entry #44

i think you got the wrong entry, 44 doesn't prove anything

Whoops, I meant Entry #45. The one where they're obviously working together against Alex.

i mean it just shows that they're working together, not that they're both members of totheark. i do think they're helping each other but not an organization called "totheark"

Actually that's kind of funny. They're both trying to get the other to remember, but without revealing too much...it's rather farcical when you think of it that way.

No matter which way you look at it, if they wind up having The Talk (you know, The Talk about the eldritch horror and their murderous friend), it's going to be incredibly, hilariously awkward.

However, right now I'm still in the "Tim is genuinely mindwiped" camp. (Which, on that note, any explanation from Jay will probably be even more awkward.)

Bear in mind that Tim may have reason to mistrust Jay. He may well know, consciously, what's in the YT and Twitter accounts, and what Jay has been saying about himself, but Jay's memory is hardly reliable. Tim may know something about Jay that's more alarming than has been revealed so far, and so have good reason for needing to make sure of him.

I don't think anyone's claiming that, really. Us fans tend to refer to them as "totheark" for convenience.

tim has to remember everything or has been mindwiped sometime after entry 33, i refuse to believe he's a "split personality" that would be such an unrealistic cheap reveal

I disagree. I'm not really in any Tim-theory camp right now simply because Tim has been confusing the shizz out of me and I don't think we have enough foods to really speculate reasonably on it yet, but Tim having a split personality wouldn't be that cheap, to me at least. In the beginning, like when I first got in to Marble Hornets, Masky and Tim technically being two seperate entities was what I had assumed, and I thought I had the proof when Tim apparently didn't remember anything as Masky in Entry #54. Now, of course, I've learned that there are about a billion other possibilities, and I've become a lot more open to most of them, but I still think that Split Personality Theory has some legit probability.

If it was just Tim happening to have some kind of disorder, then yeah, that would be irksome. But I would like to think it was the result of some kind of "doings" of the Operator. Like his way of coping of possible tragedies that the aforesaid entity caused. The more I think about it, the more a split personality sounds kind of stupid to me, but I just wanted to put it out there that I think it could always happen and that the concept would explain sufficiently, and wouldn't be too bad.

But I don't know. I'll probably change my mind later, like a thousand times over, so by the time somebody might respond to this, my opinon would have been altered. That's a running thing with me and Marble Hornets. I guess that's why it's so ~~frustrating~~ fun to think about.

I wonder if maybe... Tim can't normally remember?
What if there's some sort of trigger that could cause one to recall memories that Slendy took away? Maybe Tim stopped using it after 52 and reverted back to normal-Timmy in the off-season?

That's how everyone is man. Jay has led us all into one (X)-shaped loop of uncertainty which we may never escape from.
Here; have some snacks. Smile

That's a cool thought, but it sounds a little too far-fetched too me. But going on your idea for a minute, maybe the "trigger" was the pills, and he like...stopped taking them? O_o He mentioned he was feeling "better" to Jay, but he might have been lying. Nobody really admits their problems plainly to people they don't know that well. At least I don't think.

Jay: "I woke up in my car with no memories of what I was doing in the forest. My camera's back, and there's a box of twinkies on my dashboard.
I do not remember buying twinkies."

Twinkies and their significance in the Marble Hornets universe.

Or perhaps that would belong on the OT thread.

It's been done a kazillion times but I still want to know how much of this Alex knows he's doing and how much he's forgotten. Was he doing horrendous deeds when he was filming himself during Marble Hornets? Or was that just because "hey there's a faceless horror on my porch that seems sketchy"? How much is he a victim and how much is he a willing collaborator? Does he just have a violent streak or is he the Reluctant Murderer?

And do Tim's sideburns truly have a will of their own?

All this and more on the next episode of Marble Hornets, the Musical!

I blame the whiskey.

Alex: "Where's the cream filling?"
*Slendy walks in, face covered in deliciousness*
Why else do you think we can't see his face?

I like to think of Alex has 'the evil masky'. Whereas Tim becomes the heroic masky when confronted with Slendy-evil, Alex becomes a crazed murderer.
52 definitely felt like Alex genuinely was confused and utterly paranoid, though.

Yes. They like to be called Masky.

I'm a little disappointed that we don't have a tta directly referencing this video yet. I would have though that out of every entry so far this season, THIS would be the one to get an immediate reply.

BEST. THEORY. EVER.

Huh, that is a pretty cool thought. At first glance it doesn't seem like there'd be much of a difference between how they'd react (both strike me as being somewhat cynical, snarky types), but if our guesses are right and Tim's been dealing with this for a while, maybe he decided to put a stop to it once and for all, whereas Alex reacted more out of self-preservation. Hmmm...

And yeah, in Entry 52 he was definitely freaking out a bit. It does seem he wanted to keep Jay out of it, but once Jay was in he felt like he had no choice. Still makes him a jerk, but a sympathetic jerk. XD

Jay's next entry. "I can't find the twinkies, it's possible I misplaced them or they were eaten."
