@ Zarggg -- tenses are a bear. I mix mine all the time in writing, and hate having to bring them all in line when I re-read. It's that sneaky subjunctive wanting to assert itself amongst all the speculation. (That, and writing like I'd speak. )

If Jay's going to mask-out, it will probably surface soon. I'm curious how he'll behave.

I figured the "Masky" jacket was Tim's only jacket, and he just happened to put it on when he masked out. (Strange alternate personalities need to keep warm too, you know.)

[Araenna]

Don't forget, he's had that jacket since the filming began, and only recently found out about his other persona. It's probably his favorite jacket, and I doubt he's gonna just throw it out. Especially if it's his only one.

Yeah, it appears Slendy causes some kind of ghostly chill. In Entry 17 Jay is also wearing a hoody when they're filming and complains that the air conditioner is up too high, or something like that.

Moral of the story: if you're being stalked by an eldritch horror, keep a jacket on hand just in case. (If it's good enough for Tim, it's good enough for us.)

I think I know what Tim had to say to TO.

Remember that this is Tim's first encounter with TO since realizing that his childhood hallucinations may not have BEEN hallucinations but in fact may have been The Operator tormenting him from a young age.

Confronted with this creature which Tim now believes to be responsible for ruining his entire life, I believe that Tim's rage overcame his fear and enabled him to resist the "Slender Effect" long enough to give TO a piece of his mind.

Having a human stand up to him for so long could very well have confused TO and caused him to leave before accomplishing what he'd come for, which I assume was another attempt at mindwiping/corrupting Jay.

I think they will go back to the house. They went down into the basement, but only had enough time to flash the light about and realize that it was dark outside before TO appeared. No search was made. Also, they pointed out the attic, which hasn't been searched yet, either.

I am just saying if there is a new TTA it would most likely come out around the time Jay uploaded the first video.

[Parietal Lobectomy]

Someone (Kraehot?) asked many pages ago how worldly medicines could have an effect against an eldritch abomination like The Operator. Others (Lithp?) thought it might be possible.

I work in healthcare, and I find it wholly believable; our entire experience of reality depends on millions of tiny electrical impulses (action potentials) happening in our brains at any given time. Both psychiatric and anti-epileptic medicines work by affecting these impulses.

We already know TO affects electrical equipment as well as people's brains, so it doesn't seem a stretch that medicines which "settle" the flurry of electrical activity (which is a pretty good way to simplify what happens in a seizure and, in a less acute and overtly dramatic way, in mental illness) will also work against TO to an extent.

Interestingly, some epilepsy drugs are used by psychiatrists to help "stabilise" moods, for example Valproate and Carbamazepine are effective seizure treatments which are sometimes prescribed for people who have severe bipolar or depressive disorder, or even in an attempt to limit distressing psychotic symptoms.

It would be entirely consistent for Tim to be on such a treatment, given how his Operator-induced symptoms would appear to outsiders; any anti-Operator properties are therefore a happy accident.

They've gone on record to say the TTA / twitter accounts are not necessary for all the pieces of the puzzle, and that someone could skip all of them and still get the whole story.

This is why tta hacks jay's account to post the important entries, and why they're not just on the tta acct.
