hmm.. how DID jay find alex's house anyway

and he had alex's number even though he said he didn't (alex called him in entry 42, and im pretty sure in 40 jay even calls him so what the hell)

i mean i get that he's impatient, but even he should have been able to deduce that alex didn't want him knowing where he lived because of tim following him, or at the very least jay should have assumed alex was doing it to keep him out of danger since the operator clearly was present in alex's life again. and i wonder if tim/hoody found alex's place bc they were following jay who had been stalking out alex prior

the fact of the matter is, jay acts like he doesn't trust alex when there was no reason to not trust him. he was understandably annoyed and worried, but alex's silence on a subject shouldn't resort to jay not trusting him anymore imo. jay has done some untrustworthy stuff himself first (putting the tapes on youtube, going into the woods in 40) so alex had the right to be cautious

i mean we know alex turned out to be bad and all but it just doesn't add up for me after a rewatch. im aware i'm looking entirely too much into this, i just have high standards for continuity when i probably shouldn't. they probably didn't even think about these things and probably don't care either, and i have no problem with that. i guess i'm just filling in the blanks in my own way

There is a couple odd things with Entry #26 if you pay attention.

1. "When did we get a camera?" "Where did you find that?" "It was in the closet." Was Alex living with his girlfriend at the time? That would mean he moved into his apartment rather recently. Also how does his girlfriend's roommate fit into this?

2. Alex's girlfriend has control of the camera and the tape that was already inside for the entire time. Even after Alex tells her to get out through the window. The final frame is a skip backwards and she doesn't appear to hand the camera off. So if she disappeared, how did Alex get the camera off of her? Also is it possible that the tape had something on it other than the footage Jay seen? The TTA looking footage from the beginning could have been leftovers from what was originally on the tape. It is also odd because this is the only evidence shown so far of an edited tape. The scenes in the beginning must have been edited in.

3. Jay never mentions receiving the package in the mail. He says he finds it as he is leaving. The package does appear to have been sent by mail though. Now here's the interesting part. When Alex (in 36) is making the statements about Jay not being hard to find, it never says he sent the package. And Jay's next question is what to do until Alex contacts him. If anything, based on the context Alex wanted Jay to stay away from him because Jay was easy to find and Alex was listing why. Meaning Alex didn't want Jay leading whoever was following Jay to him.

I think someone figured out a while back that Alex was living with Jessica (as roommates) first then during the events of 26 was in the process of moving in with Amy (as girlfriend). But I don't think it was ever confirmed one way or the other.

Entry 26 is definitely weird. Something else that gets me is the TTA-esque "Help Me" at the end. With Operator Symbols and everything. Why wouldn't Alex just write "help me" plain and simple? Or even not at all since it's already implied by the fact that he sent a video of his girlfriend getting ate by Slimzy.

No, that's just speculation. Alex and Amy were never confirmed to be living together.

Alex was in between moves, seen by entry 44 and 46, so Alex probably kept some of his stuff at Amys, who WAS confirmed Jessicas roomate.

The package shows up at Jays door. It could have been a mailman or Alex himself, but most likely a mailman. I don't think it matters who delivered it, see my theory on why it had to be Alex who sent it. And the whole point of Alex not wanting Jay to know his location in 43 was because of Tim and Hoody, and he used Jay to lure out Tim to take him out in 35 to prevent Tim from following Jay who might one day start following him.

I though that totheark/tim were using Jay to find Alex since he left town and wasn't seen for 3 years, and they wanted revenge for what he had done, so they had to follow Jay to get to him

Alex has drawn the operator symbol plenty of times himself, it's not a TTA thing. If anything TTA is mocking alex with the symbol

And there's an easy explanation for how Alex got the tape: he sacrificed Amy.

This is a minor point, but I always assumed that Jay and Alex went to the abandoned house together in Entry #35. Jay went inside while Alex remained outside; that explains Jay's exasperated, "There's nothing here. What are you wanting me to see, I'm not seeing anything." Jay has his problems, but he rarely talks to himself, particularly at such a volume. It seems clear that he's talking to Alex. He also doesn't seem surprised when Alex walks in; rather than question him, he immediately obeys Alex's command to be quiet and check out the side room where Tim is lurking. Alex also knows that Jay is carrying a knife, which may not be definitive by itself, but certainly suggests that they'd spent some time together before arriving at the building.

tl;dr Alex found Jay between the events of 34 and 35, not *during* 35. Or am I wrong?
