The dots aren't braille, since they're 3x3 (braille being 2x3), but so far I've got about seven different shots of them.

The letters at the very beginning don't seem to make much sense, although I spotted what's probably part of "hate" in there.

Working on compiling them together, will edit them in when they're done.

(keeee-hrist it's only my second post here? been lurking forever)

Go fuck yourself.


Say otherwise all you want, but many of us have know the girl who when it angry at something says the stuck up "Everything is fine, don't know what you're talking about" passive agressive line. Sure there are the odd male, but they way I read the text with the music, and how it distorts afterward and alex is brought into frame just gave more of a feminine voice to me.

As for the other part of the line, I'm convinced at this point of the series that Brian has to be TTA and hoodie. Otherwise doesn't make sense anymore. That face at the bottom left is Brian leaning up against the door at the hosipital when Alex disappeared and Slendy moved. As well, the creepy face is has Brian's shape and smile. Just look at him in thumbnail for entry 7.

Too bad I came off as an insensitive male pig making a "mean girls-"esque comparison to a character that in all honesty we know little about and that many people still believe is Sarah.


lmao wow. are you kiddin me with this right now? grab yourself some preparation H and let's analyze this good shit without regressing into seventh graders.

Hi, complete noob here. I'm inclined to agree with Zebez
Quote:
The nothing's on my mind thing actually reminds me of the Odyssey.

In the Odyssey, Odysseus blinds the cyclops. Odysseus then tells the cyclops his name is "Nobody" so that when the cyclop's buddies come along and ask who blinded him, they cyclops yells "nobody"! Thus his friends don't believe him and go home.

The reason I bring this up is because nothing might have a different meaning. Nothingness is a scary thought for many people and the way totheark uses it makes it seem like nothing actually is a thing.

He doesn't say. I am not worrying about anything. He says "I worry about nothing." Nothingness is always on his mind. But who knows, Hoody may just be some folk song writer.


at least insofar as treating "nothing" as a sort of placeholder noun, or a proper name: you're Nothing to me.

As others have pointed out, this is a particularly lyrical posting for TTA, very poetic. So approaching it with a poetic stance might help, and wordplay is certainly stock-in-trade with poets.

So on the surface I worry about nothing / because nothing's on my mind seems carefree, but if we consider that "nothing" may refer to "Alex," the meaning becomes something like, "I haven't forgotten about you, this isn't over," with the added diss of reducing him to "nothing."

Or so it seems to me.

It's weird how he only shows up in TTA videos uploaded on Alex's birthday. It must be somebody relevant to Alex.

But last year was supposed to be Alex's birthday. Sorry if it seems like I'm overthinking things, but

DOES THIS MEAN ALEX MIGHT BE DEAD????

I don't know if this is worth anything, but I think that the eye at 0:27 is J's. He has a very distinctive light iris with a dark border.

This is a total OOG screengrab of Troy (that I desaturated & lightened), but it shows what I'm talking about.

It seems odd that TTA would want to know whether Alex is gone when he is so good at keeping tabs on people

I have been a lurker for a while but finally decided to post.
What if "Are you making me a liar or is he gone" means is he dead or not. Because TTA would be lying since he said last year was Alex's last birthday. But maybe he is dead. TTA is asking whoever went to kill him if he did the job. I also think TTA might be controlling Jay. Think of all the times his videos have helped him. And Jay has wanted to kill Alex for a while now.

Edit: Also is it just me or did the face in the corner look like Elvis.

I don't think he's eyeless in that picture though I think it's just the way they cut off his face.

My take was that Hoody has no idea what The Operator intends to do with Alex, & therefore is asking, "Have you made me a liar? (by rescuing him) Or is he gone? (did you kill him?)" The Operator is obviously not going to answer back, so he is musing to himself.


Interesting...but doesn't quite make sense. Hoody knows that Alex and Operator are deeply connected, Hoody saw alex after Operator tried to protect him, when he came and asked where tim and jay was, and Hoody knows that Operator could have killed alex at any time...so why now? It's not like Hoody and oppy are aligned I think that's very clear. I think someone being higher than Hoody makes more sense than that.


I think what Lithp is at is, if the remark about it being Alex's last birthday wasn't a threat but a prediction--not "I'll kill you" but "When he's done with you..." for instance--then Hoody could be wondering if Alex has outlived his usefulness and ended up in meat baggies somewhere, or if he's still around.

I got a much better image when I decoded it.

Looks like the last bit said "OR IS HE GONE?"

Also, holy shit holy shit, just when I was getting dissapointed this happens.


I read that as "Have you made me a liar? OR IS HE BONE"


Heh, it's not just me then! I also took the Shakespearean meaning of "nothing" (ie lady garden) and it makes the whole video a lot more light hearted. Hoody drives the Pussy Wagon.

In my opinion, TTA wanted someone to kill Alex (Jay, Tim or another member of TTA). TTA appears to recount the events so far, showing clips of things that TTA posted and events where Alex was harmed or could have, and possibly should have, been killed. Also, "everything is fine" is something that Jay, Tim, Alex and Jessica have said, more or less. The "nothing 's on my mind" could indicate the nature of Masky. If it is Jay's eye that pops up, it represents Jay's standpoint as an observer and maybe, that he's seen something he hasn't realized, remembered or mentioned, which would also fit with the way TTA has text while driving (in the manner of a few of Jay's videos) and the way that TTA has called Jay up on 'lying' in his narration before.

Not exactly, though that is perfectly valid. I think it was a threat, but since Hoody didn't say, "I will kill you," he would consider it perfectly fulfilled if The Operator just happened to kill him over something unrelated. Thus, it could either make him a liar (keep Alex alive) or get rid of him (kill him). It seems pretty clear to me that The Operator exerts some degree of control over Alex, but I doubt he's so important that it wouldn't turn on him in a second. But I did forget that Alex has already confronted Hoody.

Considering the date I think this is TTA expressing regret that, thanks to the Operator, he broke his/her promise last year that Alex's birthday last year would be his last one.

Since Alex's birthday is around about now, it means he had another one, which mean that TTA lied last year in a sense (although certainly not from lack of trying). Oddly if that is true it means he's addressing the Operator, who might not ever see the video.
