This wasn't so much unnerving for me as it was exciting. I see big things coming Smile

Same here this got me pumped more then freaked out. Sure the masky flashes were creepy. However at this point, it came across to me as a badass kinda thing. Masky is back!

I guess in terms of plot positioning, this is the equivalent of Season 2's Sidenote, in the way it builds up to something big rather than having a major message all on its own?

I know that this video is sort of trying to further separate Tim/Masky's connection to totheark, but I'm still convinced that not only have they worked together, Tim is most likely going to return "to the ark" soon.

He's slipping. His medication doesn't seem to be helping (from what I could tell based on Entry 60.5 and his nervous behavior in this video), and sooner or later he'll be back on his masked-side.

I'm having difficulties remembering which totheark video said, specifically, "RETURN TO US" in it? I have a feeling that TTA is attempting to remind Tim that he has a job to do... whatever the "job" in question may be.

I just hope that the new video doesn't take as long to come out as this response video took. I'm usually fine with waiting, but this season really has me on edge. Not a disappointing moment for me yet. Not sure if everyone agrees, but regardless, I love this season. (y)

EDIT: After looking through every totheark video, "RETURN TO US" is shown in "Attention". This is weird, because that video, "Attention", was uploaded on January 10th, the same date that was stressed on the last page that Jay looked at in Entry #60.5 (the one with the oppy symbol that had absolutely everything redacted besides that date). This is the only reasoning I could come up with for that date in Entry #60.5, and it fits with the whole "return to us" bit in relation to Tim. It's something to work with, to say the least.

I can't help but think that Jay is a Masky and doesn't realize it. I just feel like it's going to happen.

^I'd try to stir up some stuff about Jay actually being Hoody/TTA (because they're the same in my headcanon), but that's physically impossible.

Honestly though, this TTA response made me smile quite a bit. Just the tension in the video, from when Tim finally picks up himself being filmed, was pretty neat. Hopefully things start to ramp up from here.

I have a feeling you just caught something that is going to be important

I never thought this day would come...

But I almost think I agree with you, Pravado. Shocked

I myself am beginning to wonder if Jay isn't or wasn't once part of the Masked Marauder's group, and that if when he had some sort of psychotic break from all of the TO wonkiness, went crazy(er) and took or removed something the group was keeping or holding on to to keep TO at bay or hold/trap/kill him (that's your ark, kids) and ran off and promptly forgot (or was forced to forget, because TO doesn't want to be trapped/killed/held) he had any involvement with them or was one of their ranks... except when he starts to get really Slendysick and then sleep walks or posts things to try and "wake" himself up, or remind himself. Sort of his unconscious self trying to save what's left of his conscious self...

Kind of a "Fight Club" sort of trope... for lack of a better "it's-late-and-i'm-sleep-deprived" sort of illustrator.

Also... I'm not sure if I think that's a lame plot-thread from a writing/plot standpoint. I'll have to ruminate on it some.

It was worth a shot, I suppose. I'm trying to look more into those documents/other season 3 entries to see if there could be any other reference to earlier totheark videos. Some of the older TTA videos have barely any connection to corresponding entries, so I'm hoping that other TTA videos' meanings will finally be made clear.

Next entry: Hoody forced a kidnapped and restrained Jay to watch the final tape from 2006 of Alex sacrificing Jay at the abandoned hospital. Masky emerges from the shadow holding a third mask with a sad panda face and hands it to Jay, saying nothing. Then Hoody says "Welcome back, Jay."

Cut to black. The text says something cryptic and TTA-ish, then what is clearly Jay's text appears.
"Mother of god. I remember it all.

This changes everything."

And then Jaymasky, Masky, and Hoody go clubbin'! Yaaaayyyy
it's way too late and i'm way too tired. who let me back on the internet?

this mostly definitely confirms TTA isn't Tim. or at least that someone else is involved (i highly doubt TTA is more than 1 but w/e, some feel the opposite). I feel like that's a big development.

Not sure what to make of mask flash.

Would love a word on jay on why the heck that got posted on the twitter. just a "i don't know what that was" sorta thing. actually, why the heck did TTA feel the need to post that?

my first thought was suicide too, but i doubt it now. maybe showing that he's taking more than his recommended amount? or that he's starting to build a resistance to the drug?

guess we'll just have to see on everything.

Jay can' be hoody because of the timing of entries 40-42 combined with the fact that hoody was sitting near the tree where alex parked his car

This response kind of makes me think that Jay is a part of ToTheArk. I was against this theory until now but 'waiting on you' is just a very Jay thing to say..

Totally random theory here, but what if Tim is only Masky when his condition is suppressed? Like when he's on his pills and he's back in control, the clarity allows him to perform masked antics. Then later, when the pills wear off, he's suffering to live a normal life because of the symptoms. Anyone?

That would definitely be a surprising twist. This video COULD loosely support that; Tim takes his meds and suddenly sees TTA at the window, stands creepily at the window watching... Nothing can be proven or embellished on that beyond that point, but it's a cool theory and I hadn't thought of it.
