[SPEC] The Four Masks
Lest we forget...

Does anyone else remember the other three Masked figures from much earlier in the series? See the picture below...



...We know number two is Tim, but who are the other three? The final one was arguably not a mask, but a scary picture someone captured in the show, but, I think that's a mask. Who are they? Are they all Tim? Or are there others? The one is very feminine, which suggests Jessica's influence to me. (NOT Sarah.) Remember, Jessica was 'kicked out' of Alex and Amy's place for reasons she didn't want to discuss. The third figure is very slender (no pun intended) which is reminiscent of Seth, and the final one, maybe Hoody without his skimask on-- Brian?

Discuss.

#1 Is just a distorted pic of masky. Same mask/jacket.
#4 Skully could be amy because of the same hair color and that she is no longer a character no one cares about.
#3 can also be a distorted pic of masky.

The third person might not even be wearing a mask.
It might just be dark and out of focus.

I''ve never been sure if Skully even was someone wearing a mask.
The shape just doesn't seem like a head to me, or like any hoody that I've ever seen.

I've always thought that the first one was a blurry/distorted/whatever Masky (so, Tim). I might be wrong, but that's what I think.

The third one, I don't know. Maybe it is just to scare, or TTA, or Hoody without mask, but I think is a distorted Masky too.

And, Skully... I don't know. The fact that it has not appeared anymore makes me think that maybe it was the first Hoody idea, or whatever.

I used to think that, coupled with Jay's suggestion that TTA is more than one person, this was foreshadowing a reveal of a group of masked people who collectively made up TTA. That said, it's so late-game now that I don't think they'd be able to introduce this plot point and have time to develop it adequately without making it seem shoehorned in.

Skully might still reappear if he turns out to be Jay, because the blackouts and hacks and Tweetocalypse and etc. give some adequate foreshadowing to Jay having an alter ego already, but if he's anyone else then it would again seem a little shoehorned, most likely.

IMO tim is the only masky, and everything else were scrapped ideas.

If there was another masky (obv besides hoody) they would have shown them again by now, or at least given us some kind of proof that someone else besides hoody (tta) is involved. They're too late in the game to just spring a new character on us and have it work out.

Well, for all we know, Masky and Hoody have nothing to do with ToTheArk, let alone each other.

While I'll give you guys the benefit of the doubt on the first Masky being Tim out of focus, the third Masky is definitely a different person wearing a different mask. Tim has never been that thin, and his head is larger than the figure in the third picture.

entry 42 intro + intermission + probably a few other things can confirm that hoody is totheark

i personally think tta is one person

you can think what you want, but that is just my take and there's no convincing me otherwise without proof from future entries

Well, you can't prove a negative.

Though from what we've seen, we can only assume Hoody is "ToTheArk," or at least a part of of it. However, since we don't know for sure that Hoody is ToTheArk, we can't say that he is or is even associated with ToTheArk. Maybe Hoody, like Tim, is another victim of ToTheArk and/or the Operator.

Looking at the third picture, what if it is a distorted picture of Jessica? That shadow running down the shoulder could be hair and the shadows over the eyes and mouth could be caused by the upped contrast. The line on the shoulder makes me think of some sort of dress or shirt with thin straps, although I don't remember her ever wearing anything like that. TTA could have gotten it by spying on her. In the back there are definitely curtains, possibly from the hotel, which puts it in the timeframe where we had the most footage of her. Finally, what I can make out through the blur doesn't look all that similar to a mask in my opinion.

The third picture is a guy in a dress shirt, tie and suspenders, and unless Jessica used to weigh less than eighty pounds, then I doubt that's her in 'drag.'

Those aren't suspenders, that's the curtin side on combined with distortion, so it's probably just Masky heavily distorted.

The blur makes it hard for me to make out what the figure is wearing, but I can kinda see it. It just looks more feminine to me. Maybe it is the curve of the face or shoulders that suggests it. I can see a color difference between the neck and where a shirt collar would be. I can't see how you would make out a tie though. Another thought I had is that that strap could be the chest cam harness, meaning that it could be Jay, but I'm just speculating. The gray shapes in the back are definitely curtains though, which makes me think this is from the hotel. Could you direct me to the video/tweet it is from though? I went through a bunch of TTA entries and I must have missed it.

Entry ####, I think.

Thank you. Now I am more inclined to believe it is Jessica, but from footage we didn't have access to. She did wear a white shirt in Entry #30 when Jay woke her up after hearing noises. Not conclusive, but with the feminine look to the picture and the curtains making me believe it was from the hotel, it is coming together in my head. Maybe the noises from that night were TTA sneaking in and out, maybe taking some video. I don't think she would just sit there for TTA though. Still, I don't think we ever did find out what the noises were.

Edit: Wait a minute, ###### was a while before the hotel. Never mind, I need to think a little more about this. Unless TTA can get footage from the future, my theory is wrong.

Edit 2: Upon looking at this slightly more, the figure doesn't seem as feminine to me as it does in the picture here. I now believe it is just Masky/Tim (who is in the video as well, the second picture I believe is from ######) just looking different due to the distortion. The first picture on here is from ###### as well (:15). My speculation now is that this was made in the house from 16. The back door had the kind of hanging slats that could make that shadow over the figure, and later in ###### they were closed. I don't know if the wall across from that door had curtains, but it is possible.
