I found Tim's attitude throughout this entry jarring. His insistence on putting the papers in the top pocket, as if he was hiding something, as well as what he says to Jay in the kitchen. How he thinks Alex tried to look like the victim by giving Jay the tapes, and that Alex is cause. Tim seems to be reinforcing a certain view of Alex.

However, then we have the conflicting evidence in the way Tim was trying to relate to Jay, saying he's going through a similar ordeal with memory lapses, and that Jay isn't alone. Also Tim's reaction to seeing Jay on the ground was so emotional.


Although I agree it was strange he didn't want the papers anywhere but the top pocket, I don't agree at all that it was weird he's reinforcing Alex as the cause of the mess. We've already seen that what Alex gave Jay was only parts of the entire story, just the bits that make him look like a victim (especially when The Operator appears in Entry 26). In reality, Alex has not only tried to kill people (and succeeded in Bruce's case), but also outright threatened Jay and Tim and lied to them about his intentions implicitly through never intentionally giving them information that ties him to The Operator.

It's not Tim trying to misdirect in my opinion; it's Troy's way of scripting it and putting it into fact.

 		Did anyone else notice how badly Tim limped as he approached the Op?

This ^
Yes, I think Tim was going in and out the Masky state or something. I think Tim was struggling with his inner demons and TO at the same time and maybe he has "succeeded" (or looks like he did) because of te pills AND because of having someone to fight for. I'm sure that having someone nexto him is helping Tim a lot.

When TO turns his head at 12:04, a face appears on it.

ooh, scary


It's not just there, actually. When slendy first appears:


And when Tim first approaches:


I honestly think it's intentional. These guys spend hours (probably, if not days) editing these videos... I think they'd take a few minutes to photoshop out some inopportune shadows if need be. But if it is intentional, that raises the question... What does it mean?

As a side note, these screenshots reveal that Slenderman actually turns and LOOKS at Tim, away from Jay (or the camera). Pretty cool.

 		Maybe the point of the face is to make it obvious that the head has turned to look at Tim?

 		(Don't have time to read all the posts yet, so sorry if this has already been pointed out.) Can we get a framedump of the slender rave party at about 12:20? I'm pretty sure I saw someone female pick the camera up and turn it around at 12:25, but I'm having a hard time freeze framing it. This could tell us who part of totheark is.

EDIT: Got a freeze frame on about the 5th attempt!

Here is the first face inverted back to the original since the video is inverted black and white. It looks MUCH LESS feminine when not inverted. Who is that?



Uh... that's a man in a hood. (Hoodie?)

But more importantly... are those glasses that are being obscured?

 		To me it looked like Tim was trying to go Evan on the Operator, what with the switchblade and all, but Slendy's... uh, I hate to say "psychic field" but I'm lacking a better term did something to prevent him from just leaping at it. Probably for the best anyway, jumping straight into the Operator and attacking him never really seems to work as planned.

It's Tim. Go back to page 8.

 		Something no-one else has brought up yet, one of the pages says "can't see". Could this be something to do with Jay's dreams of an eyeless alex, could it be referring to the operators lack of eyes, what does it mean?

Those pages really give the feel that alex was being tormented by the operator with ones like "dread coming", you can almost feel the words screaming off of the page. Maybe rather than alex being evil or self-concerned he was just broken mentally by the operator and gave in to it's demands. It makes me think of the original slendy quote from somethingawful forums "we didn't want to go, we didn't want to kill them, but its persistent silence and outstretched arms horrified and comforted us at the same time..."

I've fiddled around with that other face and it is in fact ALEX from the entry where he chokes Hoody and says "Wipe that Smile of your face" video!!!!

I can't find a frame in 68 that would fit?


OOG
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Both times Jay let go off the camera it was kinda predictable what would happen right after, which spoiled it a bit for me

 		I don't really think Tim was either fighting TO, or bargaining with him. He approached TO with the exact same stumbling gait as Alex did in Entry 43. It seems to me that it's more likely they were being either controlled, or drawn towards TO against their will. He may or may not have resisted going full-masky, but I certainly don't feel as though it was pure defiance.

I'm also tempted to suggest TO was giving Tim instructions in some way, so the next time he does mask-out he knows what to do, assuming Masky is still in some way, or has ever been, working for TO.

[EDIT] Also, I'm probably going to sound like an idiot here, but I don't understand how they enter the house at ground level, go down some stairs, then leave through a door also at ground level? Have I missed something glaringly obvious?

It's probably just the Operator messing up time and space. That part was too blurry to make anything out. They were moving away from the stairs at the time, so we can strike that option out.

(could there possibly be more stairs through that door, leading up to ground level? I know some houses have those.)

I thought most houses with basements had at least one door to outside in the basement itself? It might very well be a regional thing though. I actually can't think of a house I've ever been in that didn't have a door to either a side yard or backyard in the basement. The houses around here are built into hills so you can't tell that there's a basement or another way in/ out from the front.

I would agree with you if Tim didn't pull out a switchblade while walking up to him. That seems a lot more like "willful act of defiance" than "slendy-control".
