[SPEC]Why The Operator Shows Up

[Kaaamil]

In the latest entries it was - for me - like: the tension grows, Operator shows up.

[DHawk314]

- Entry #29: No context at all, but shows up in the tunnel, presumably Alex is filming. In Rosswood, which related to Tim's childhood, and this may relate to the Operator.

- enttry #37: Might not really be there, but the Slender Man has a history of stalking children, and we see something similar later with Tim.

- Entry #40: Also in Rosswood. It's possible that Alex invited Jay out there to lure him to the Operator. Otherwise, the Operator may simply be following Jay since Entry #23. He does seem to go after Jay though, at least at first. Brian is also present, following Jay, as implied by "Intermission" and revealed in Entry #41.

- Entry #43: Alex walks towards the Operator, going to Rosswood, seemingly as part of a purposely effort to see the Operator. This is the first entry to really imply the Operator is controlling Alex.

- Entry #44: Alex draws some Operator imagery first, which may summon it, especially if 1 was supposed to immediately follow 8. It takes Alex from his room, presumably to the same place it took him after 43.

- Entry #45: Doesn't appear on camera, but the screen tears, causing Tim and Brian to run away. totheark later alludes to seeing it in "Classified". First instance of the Operator stopping Tim and Brian from killing Alex.

- Entry #48: Appears in background, presumably shortly before or after Alex kills the guy in 49, fairly nearby. Someone, implied in 50 to be Tim, is following Jay. Jay is filming, the Operator may be following him and/or Tim.

- Entry #49: First on-camera instance of the Operator taking a dead body. Seems to be helping Alex hide the evidence, but later the Operator takes bodies Alex didn't kill. Might just be a thing the Operator does.

- Entry #52: The Operator wipes Jay and Jessica's memory. Either followed Jessica home from Rosswood with Alex after Alex tried to kill her, or was there because Jessica was next to Jay. Wiping their memories makes it easier for Alex to try and kill Jessica in 76, so the Operator might be helping Alex. This is the only confirmed time that the Operator wipes memories retroactively, as opposed to simply putting someone into a state of not retaining memories, such as with Tim, or Jay in 72/74. The only exception is Jessica not remembering Jay in 87, implying another wipe in 76 or some time.

- Entry # 54: Tim and Alex are both there he's stalking them, he does something cut off at the end.

- Entry #56: Once again Alex attacks someone and the Operator takes hold of them. Plus, not only is it Tim, it's near the hospital that he grew up in.

- Entry #57: The Operator presumably appears at the end in the hospital itself, implying he followed either Tim or Alex there.

- Entry #60: In hospital from Tim's childhood, plus the Operator is probably following Jay. Jay also hears someone upstairs, implied to be either Brian or Alex.

- Entry #64/65: Alex reveals he is nearby, and the Operator shows up, attacking Tim. Jay was also there, but he runs away. totheark video "Display" implied Brian was nearby as well, as does Entry #67.

- Entry #67: Once again the Operator stops Brian and Tim from killing Alex.

- Entry #70: Same playground as Entry #4, the Operator does seemingly appear for Alex.

- Entry #72: The Operator appears outside first, after Jay hallucinates him in that spot. Implications of this are unknown. Regardless, it ends up following Jay and Tim into the basement, and then back outside. It attacks Jay, but disappears when Tim approaches after taking his new medicine.

- Entry #76: The Operator attacks Jessica and takes her body after Alex fails to shoot her. She doesn't actually die.

- Entry #80: The Operator takes Jay's (dying) body.

- Entry #82: The Operator is clearly following Jay at this point, although he's also in Rosswood park, which is warping around.

- Entry #83: The Operator teleports around Tim and Brian, and then takes Brian's body.

- Entry #86: The Operator teleports around Tim and Alex, and then takes Alex's body. Right before Tim can completely kill him, the Operator does seem to try and stop Tim.

- Entry #51: The Operator appears at the end of the hospital hallway behind Brian, as Alex is shooting footage for Marble Hornets. It's implied that Alex brought Brian here alone specifically for the Operator, given the events of Entry #49, although it ends up being a bit of a botched job (since clearly Brian survived the ordeal).

EDIT: Also, there is a direct sighting in Entry #11. It's hard to see, but the Operator is outside one of Alex's windows at about the 1:06 mark (if I remember correctly). It still appears it's stalking Alex.

The Operator is in either entry regardless of if he's teleporting them. To me, it seems very similar to 65, where the Operator literally drags Tim on the ground, which to me indicated the Operator is teleporting him, not just that they're teleporting.

Jay's body in Tim's house, and the mirror in Tim's house in 83, only for it to be changed back to normal in 84 does basically imply some kind of fuckery. I doubt Alex is teleporting them. He'd teleport them both to him and shoot them in the faces.

I think it's more like that Jay's body was in the slenderverse, parallel to Tim's house. I think Brian probably did the message on the mirror and all the papers. I doubt that Brian always moved this way, we see him moving normally in 68 and 73. He doesn't teleport when he's running from Alex, and Alex doesn't teleport to him.

As for 51, try to remember that 51 is the day after 56 and 57.
