Yeah, honestly having grown up living in a house out in the middle of the woods in the backwoods of NC... and now living pretty much in the middle of a national forest, I can safely say there is very little that terrifies me more than a dark forest at night. I don't really know why, but because of that, this poo poo strikes me way harder on the 'oh god no auuuugh' scale than it probably should.

Augh that picture. I almost didn't upload it because i didn't want to look at it that long. I don't want to be that 'oooh I had to turn the light on' person but.. ugh, gently caress the forest.

Man if you hate the forest, why are you living in one now???

Live MH... So, bets are on either Rosswood Park or the Asylum. Which one do you think Jay is at? :munch:

The third, obvious alternative is the distortion hole.

Because that's pretty much all this awful state has, unfortunately. And we got the house for stupidly cheap, so... I generally just don't go out at night without my dog and manage to tell myself that there is not a bear waiting out there to eat me. :(

Also... poo poo, I totally forgot about the Distortion Hole. Have they even touched on anything about that since that one (or two?) episodes from the first season?

Man, this buildup feels like something you'd do for a finale. Jay frantically running out to save Tim, tweeting creepy pictures along the way and followed by silence.

Maybe the buildup to the Tim/Jay team up wherein they take on Slendy head on, with Skimasky as the deus ex that finally allows them to end this terrible cycle.

Or they all die. Whichever.

What is the evidence we have that Jay is not skimasky? Someone mentioned the time skimasky returned Jay's camera to his car. Was this after Jay encountered slenderman in a clearing, dropped the camera, and ran away? It's been so long I forgot exactly why Jay was ruled out as being skimasky in that case. Could Jay have become skimasky after running away, then returned for the camera? I guess I'll have to go back and rewatch that part if someone doesn't jump in. Was there also a time where Jay was like sleeping in his car and skimasky walked by or am I remembering wrong?


Anyways where I'm going with all of this is that Jay went all crazy on twitter, and then we get a video of skimasky haunting Tim, and then right after the video is uploaded Jay is back to normal with no mention of his strange tweets. To me thinking that the video is of Jay himself only with a different identity doesn't seem like much of a stretch at all.

The tricky part is that the person who posted it not only seems to be skimasky, but also tta. TTA has also posted footage that pretty conclusively had to be shot by Tim as masky (I'm thinking specifically of the early one showing Jay at Brian's house.)

I propose that TTA is the mask persona, and that the persona is donned by people when the slender sickness becomes too great. From this I would then expect that skimasky taking away Tim's pills was in an effort to turn him back into masky, giving the TTA entity more bodies to work with. I'm hoping the next entry is Jay looking desperately for Tim and encountering masky back in full force.

As to what the mask wants.... To be slenderman's face of course.

\/\/\/\/ Yeah I think I remember that too. Alright, when Jay walked through that door in season 1 he came out the other side in rosswood park as skimasky and went and visited his future self. That's right, time traveling Jays :ms:

Jay isn't totheark or skimask man. From jay's twitter he is writing as if he was trying to regain control of his accounts WHILE they were updating.

Has there been any proof totheark and skimask man aren't one and the same? Totheark uses the same font and style as the person that uploaded jay's "entry" and I don't think ski mask man would be like "hey totheark I got this sweet footage do your thing and we'll put it on jay's account". Totheark has always been a master at sneaking around filming people, and skimask man is doing a pretty good job of that in this entry as well.

It seems a pretty good bet that skimasky is TTA, or at least part of it if there's a group. I've long felt that TTA is at least two people, who may even be in conflict. There was a tweet a long time ago where Jay himself said it seemed like totheark's messages came from different people at different times. Sometimes it's like the videos are trying to goad Jay into action and help him (albeit in the creepiest format possible), other times they are explicit death threats.

Real post: keep in mind Jay has been an unreliable narrator before; for all we know the big twist could be that he was actually making the updates, then tried to cover it up by claiming he was "hacked."

...or the far more likely, given how this has worked in the past, "he has no idea that he did actually post that".

Yeah, I thought about it when I saw the shoes, because for some reason I thought SkiMasky might be Jay, but Entry 59 was on the related videos, the thumbnail being Jay's (different) shoe. I did think SkiMasky did seem to have Troy's physicality in parts, but I could be utterly wrong.
