He wants to permanently put himself onto tape so he can effectively become immortal. The mysterious pills that Jay found in Alex's old house - and which he later saw Tim taking in that old recording - are actually an extremely rare, extremely fantastic drug.
Pretty much everyone involved in this whole thing - Jay, Alex, the whole Marble Hornets crew, and for a much longer time, Slendy - are all addicted to this drug. The drug naturally, has some pretty drastic side effects, among them mood swings explaining Alex and Tim's behaviour and phobia of human contact explaining Alex and Jay's drive to isolate themselves in their homes and tell no one about anything except over the internet, even when, especially in Jay's case, practicality dictates they should really be letting someone know of their life-endangering predicament , and, after more long-term usage, horrific physical disfigurement the reason Slendy looks as Eldritch as he does and, possibly, the reason Masky wears his mask.
This whole thing started when Alex found Slenderman's drug stash in the woods thanks to their effects, Slendy had pretty much become a hermit and made the thoroughly stupid choice of trying them himself, subsequently both becoming a junkie and incurring the wrath of Slendy, who became insanely desperate to get his stash back, but was rendered too weak and physically dysfunctional by the drugs effects to do anything more direct than stalk Alex from a distance.
Around that time, Tim would find Alex's stash, try them, and become a junkie himself Eventually, Alex, realising what he'd brought on himself, finally persuaded himself to abandon his stash at his old house and flee for his life.
Said stash would shortly thereafter be found by Jay, making him Slendy and Masky's new target. Of course, Jay, being an Unreliable Narrator , tells us the pills that he found at Alex's house mysteriously vanished Furthermore, the drugs, among other things, have intense hallucinogenic effects? She had been watching J's videos and decided get information from Alex about it. Upon finding his old camera, she decided to see if Alex would tell her any information about Marble Hornets.
Unfortunately Slendy decided to show up. After running away with the camera and the tape, she was able to text J from old contact info Alex had and then tracked down where he was in order to send him the tape. Slenderman is often personified as a homicidal tree, so continuing that line of thought, why not assume Slendy represents the whole forest? Nature in general? The audio and visual distortion on the tapes is caused by him essentially being the antithesis of the rational and technological world.
He wants everyone to leave the woods, and stop filming him and trampling burrows and whatnot. Plus, with all those arms and tentacle branches, he could hold a ton of signs at protests and rallies. It's a hidden gift. If you look carefully in the Marble Hornets Wiki entry on Entry 18 , the recap mentions the audio distorts right before totheark lunges at him.
And after that, totheark goes into seizures for no apparent reason! You could chalk that up to Rule of Scary , but we know that Slendy's influence causes health problems, like J's Incurable Cough of Death. And after totheark has his seizure, J starts to go into a coughing fit, and right after that , the audio distorts again. And Slendy burning J's house doesn't make sense because the whole thing reeks of Fridge Logic.
Can Slendy even use matches? We've never seen him pick anything up. Unless Slendy has pyrokinesis, which is not an ability he's ever displayed, he couldn't have done it, because he can't exactly throw together a molotov cocktail in his condition , and he can't very well ask someone to do it for him.
It wouldn't make sense for TTA to want to burn J's house down and in Slendy's case it's not even physically possible. So who did? Things only went downhill for J once he started going over the tapes.
It might be something as innocuous as Alex being startled awake and banging his head on the wall, causing the injury. Also, as above, it goes with the fact that Slendy, to the best of our knowledge, has never directly harmed anyone. After J sees the footage, he too is unnerved by the slender man, and the slender man begins to take an interest in him as well.
This time, he chooses the same form, since J was already afraid of the appearance of a slender figure in a business suit, and it didn't take much to terrify J as well. This only raises the question of why Slendy chose to take the form of what J and Alex feared most. Perhaps Slendy is drawn towards, or perhaps "feeds" off of the fear of others.
Perhaps it's just a prankster at heart who enjoys scaring people. Or perhaps he wants to exploit the fear of J and Alex for his own ends However, this clearly has debilitating effects. Being around Slender Man wears people out fast. Maybe one or both of them is special in a way that will cause them to last longer than Masky is or maybe they're just better equipped to approach the Slender Man's thought patterns.
It's possible this entire process was merely Slender Man vetting his candidates. He must think Alex and Jay have the Intelligence, or maybe they do and don't know it.
Since there are no Filmmakers working for either Reliable Explosive Demolitions or Builders League United, he can't disguise as either of them; his failed attempts result in a friendly-spy effect, but since there is no actual disguise, his paper mask is left blank.
Thus, he is left to try and decoy them away somehow; he is likely aware of the differences between our world and his, so he knows if he just backstabs them, the cops will get too close. Audio and video constantly distorts because he, instead, uses his cloak to sneak sappers onto the filming equipment.
It's possible the Spy is specifically Rojo, as he's certainly sadistic enough to mess with a bunch of poor fast-approaching-broken-down people like this. To go along with the guesses above about whether Totheark works with or against the Slender Man, Totheark must be an undercover Scout; he's relatively small, very bouncy and clearly has an attitude.
He pulls his camera trickery not by cloaking like Slender Spy, but by getting high on Bonk! It's just a question of which team he's on. So what happened that the other four lost their memory? They didn't. Each one of them including Jay fell under the thrall of the Slender Man either to gain power from him, or to become a cult to fight him and became one of the masked figures as sen in Entry.
But somehow, Jay broke free and actually did lose his memory. That is why totheark tells Jay to "come back to us", he's trying to get him to remember. The reason for him harassing J and Alex are that they are both to become Gordon Freeman style saviors of the earth. The original Gordon Freeman delt with his own Slenderman before coming to terms with the fact that he would be followed by this man for the rest of his life.
This lets Slenderman find and hunt them. Anyone who has watched the videos is now a target. This is in keeping with the fact that J's twitter has now apparently been hijacked. Slender Man is some sort of supernatural being whose thought processes are alien to ours, and who is attracted to those who encounter him and continue thinking about him he may even genuinely like humans. This is why he kept appearing to Alex. However, he has no way to communicate with people properly - Alex's drawings and Entry 14 may represent attempts at telepathic contact.
Why does he want to talk to people so badly? Totheark is another being who wants to find Slender Man. Why he wants this is uncertain, but he calls him "The Ark". He knows that Slendy hangs around with people who have encountered him before. His videos are basically goading Jay into pursuing Slender Man look closely. The masked people are his agents, with the masks representing some form of mind control possibly bad for their health, as they seem to cough and have seizures.
Many of them encountered Slendy in the past, but Slendy knows to stay away from anyone with a mask now. To the ark is The Operator, and as speculated above, the symbol is a face, but one which has been crossed out masked. It may represent things and areas upon which Totheark has influence the tower, for example. At some point prior to Alex handing over the tapes, Slender Man managed to break through and communicate on some level with him, enough to convey the basics of the situation - he may even have intervened directly to keep him from getting "masked" in the video in entry 22 by yanking him out of the other mysterious house and putting him somewhere safe.
After that though, Alex decided to quit, reluctantly gave Jay the tapes, and got out of Dodge. Why can't Jay remember any of this? He was masked - in fact, judging by "Exit" he may have been one of the first to be masked.
So what happened? When Alex skipped town, Totheark lost his bait. So he "unmasked" Jay, meaning that Slender Man would be attracted to him again, and sans large portions of his memory Jay began to investigate the tapes, Slender Man, etc. Entries 18 and "Return" represent a successful attempt on Totheark's part to use Jay as bait for Slender Man. Note the black around Jay's eyes in "Return" - a partial reassertion of mind control? So why didn't Totheark capture him at that point?
Perhaps because Slendy's teleportation abilities keep totheark from being able to capture him in a place that follows the normal rules of space - that's why the videos encouraged Jay to go to the mysterious house, so that Slender Man might conceivably follow him to Totheark's playground and have a trap sprung on him.
Jay holing up in his apartment is the opposite of what he wants, so he has the place set on fire in order to get him moving again. Slender Man turns up in Alex's life again, possibly seeking some sort of aid.
Note how Alex treats him warily, but without fear, as though he were a stray dog. Alex has sent his girlfriend away, possibly because he knows Slender Man is the harbinger for trouble, and Jay is going to find Alex The HELP at the end of the video has the "operator" symbol, indicating that totheark may have tacked it on somehow.
This suits Totheark fine, as now he'll have two pieces of bait, who may well travel to the space-warping house or some other place he has prepared. Enter totheark, one of the people Slendy has been haunting. Maybe he knows how Slendy works, maybe he just really wants to forget about him, but he's trying to remove all traces of Slendy from reality.
He doesn't want to harm J just yet, because he needs J to find Alex, whom he will deal with first. Potentially team up with Jay at some point, both got memory erased while in the hotel, thus explaining why she thinks his name is familiar. She really is just in the room next door and won't contribute to the plot at all.
The only reason Jay sounds familiar is because of the WMG below. Why did Jay forget? My guess is that it's one part memory supressing it, another part pain killers that Jay found in the hotel. Take enough painkillers and it could mess with your memory. It's a Special Effects Failure ; the masked man is played by Tim, but they're not the same person in-story. By the look of things, it looks like Alex killed Masky. So then who attacked Jay in the Motel room? Unless you-know-who survived and is either pissed, or stupid enough to come back after Jay.
But there's a chance that Alex assumed Masky's identity and is now pursuing Jay to get his hands on the tapes. They still aren't revealing how they filmed the Slender Man, and to this day no one can say how he was filmed.
If this was fake, someone could have identified how Slendy was filmed by now. Back in Entry 18, after Jay encounters Masky, Jay mentions at the end that the knife he brought with him went missing. At one point in Entry 18, Masky fell over in convulsions, which might mean Jay stabbed him in the small scuffle they had. This could mean that Jay lost his knife then, and Masky kept it until Entry Another interesting note, in Entry 35, Masky has an open opportunity to stab Jay when he comes around the corner, but runs right past him Alex's glare is ferocious and animalistic.
He's totally snapped, and just wants to get rid of them both. Jay's glare is determined, but also a bit angry.
He's at the end of his rope with both of them at this point, thinks "screw this", and goes on the offense for the first time. Tim decides "enough of this", pulls off the mask, and throws it aside.
His glare is more of a snarl. Naturally, Fridge Horror is had as to just who is holding the camera Now that I think about it, he hasn't updated Twitter at all since he went to sleep that night. One has to wonder if he has woken up since then By extension, this may have something to do with the missing seven months.
He started out driving from somewhere relatively near the original set and where he lived, and ended up hundreds of miles away given how long he was driving , with no memory of how he got there or what happened between leaving in search of the return address and waking up in a strange hotel. Maybe he actually jumped forward seven months, and now that he's back, he's about to live them out.
As a final thought, maybe and this is a stretch he's meant to Set Right What Will Go Wrong , and the reason he's been sent back to his original time is because he managed to see what it is that he's supposed to prevent. This may have been the intended Entry 37; it was clearly something big, but Jay was locked out of Youtube and never got to post it assuming "enttry 37" was someone else's doing.
They're not 'gone', they're dead. The reason they're not being brought up is because Alex, already more aggressive and clearly having been pushed past his limits, freaks out when they're mentioned. Jay is either unaware of this or hasn't told the viewers. He's already been an Unreliable Narrator in the past The Grigori, the fallen angels that God had sent the Great Flood to wipe out, weren't destroyed. No, instead their works were destroyed and they were bound beneath the Earth until Judgment Day.
And they were known for mating with women to produce the Nephilim. Is humanity the only thing they could have mated with? What about the trees, or even the Earth itself? And if symbols have power, Noah's Ark, the symbol of mankind's salvation from the flood that brought down the Grigori, would be an incredibly potent symbol for them. Thus, both The Operator and Totheark are either Grigori or extremely powerful Nephilim perhaps respectively being descended from plants and earth, respectively , and they seek what they can find of Noah's Ark for reasons we can't yet figure out.
Admittedly, only the last rational is directly supported by Marble Hornets itself, with the rest being from the original Something Awful thread. Sometime in the future, Jay and Alex end up in hiding together, perhaps sheltered by some unlikely ally probably one who has no idea what's going on — some random witness protection official, maybe?
They start using fake names, just in case. In his delusional state, he believes that kittens will be the solution to his problems, and his train of thought meanders over to the idea that kittens are the cure to all the world's suffering. They're cute, aren't they? Good for cheering people up. I just look at kittens all day and I'll never have any more problems in life.
I'd be happy all the time, just looking at pictures of kittens. I bet if we make everyone in the world look at kittens, there won't be any more suffering. That's what I'm gonna write my paper about.
How to solve the world's suffering Man, why hasn't anyone thought of this before? However, the part of his mind that does still know what's really going on in his world manifests in the form of giving the dog a voice, telling him that Jay is trying to bring him back, and that he doesn't want to be brought back, he likes being stuck in this fantasy world where everything is normal, back in school before all the years he lost.
This voice, projected onto the dog, leads Alex to unconsciously pull out a gun he had hidden under the bed while thinking that the dog is giving it to him and try and get rid of Jay so that he can stay in his little mental hidey-hole.
Jossed: It was totheark going by the video "Forecast". Though, this will support the possible Jessica is totheark theories. While it could be plausable that Timasky is totheark, I find it a bit hard to believe that there happened to be two Maskies in the exact same woods at the exact same time without Jay noticing anything.
And not to mention that this one seems to want to encourage him to continue whereas Timasky wants to hurt or scare him away.
Just like totheark's videos only seem to be taunting him and whoever films it never really seems to want to hurt him, they only want him to know that they're there. We've all heard the theory that Jessica is one of the Maskies. But which one?
It can't be Masky, that's Tim. Skully came around long before Jessica. But Blasky Blasky gave back the tape which ended up in a safe in the same hotel where Jessica is. Blasky seems to not want to harm Jay, but just watch him. Thus it would make sense for Blasky to take off the blask and become Jessica, so as to get closer to him without drawing suspicion.
She forms a story that sounds suspiciously like his. But Blasky and Masky have In Entry 33, Timasky found Jessica and attacked her, knowing she was Blasky. She gets away, and Timasky turns to Jay and attacks him instead. Jessica dons the blask again and starts following Jay, while simultaneously trying not to get caught by her masked brethren. This fits in with the "Blasky is totheark" theory above. In entry 39, we meet a new character who appears to be a new version of Masky. He stands outside J's car while he's sleeping and watches him.
In that same entry, J recieves a call from Alex telling him to meet him at the park. J arrives but doesn't find him. Maybe Alex was there all along, but was hiding. Also, in entry 41, after J's [[spoiler close encounter with the Operator]] and J drops his camera, someone comes along, picks up J's camera and takes it back to J's car. This is where we get our first actual look at new Masky. So either Alex is disgiusing himself to secretly aid J, or he is now under the Operator's control. Another clue that Alex isn't himself is that in entry 35, when the first Masky is revealed to be [[spoiler Tim]], Alex grabs the rock and smashes Masky's leg.
He might have done that just to stop Masky from attacking his friend, but I have a feeling that the Operator knew that Masky had failed him, if they were working together.
So he takes a new associate to help him. However, Alex might also be helping J, while pretending the help the Operator. In entry 38, J and Alex are walking through the woods. Alex tells J about the methods the townspeople would use to dispose of criminals, tieing them to trees and stretching them out so their limbs were distended and enlongated.
Sound familiar? So Alex could be providing subtle hints to J about the Operator's past, as well as possible ways to destroy him once and for all.
Think about it. An alien with way to much time on his hands starts to search the internet randomly while surveying Earth. He sees the abundance of stick figure cartoons, and decides that this is what humans look like.
So he build a recon droid to survey the Earth at ground level using stick figures as a template. The result is a stick-thin being, with no face and elongated limbs. The alien sets his creation down on Earth and lets him loose.
This would explain the Operator's tendency to stand still and watch people from a distance. When Alex comes in to make Marble Hornets, the robot becomes fascinated with the project and starts following Alex around, trying to get him to tell him what he's doing.
Alex, naturally, is freaked out by the horrible being following him, and He is going to come back much later and become really important, and his roles in the earlier entries are epic foreshadowing. Alex made sure to keep her close to Jay when they came across her which we will see in an upcoming chapter, safety in numbers while he tried something to get the Operator off their backs forever, it did not work.
Additionally, each of the different masks may actually have some sort of meaning besides just looking creepy, but what exactly I'm not sure. So it's totally possible. Seth, Brian, and Sarah were liabilities from the start, useless for dealing with the situation and possible candidates for Masky and totheark. He killed Sarah and Brian in an unrecorded scene, and stalked Alex and Seth while they were in the burned out building. He knew that the Operator would show up eventually due to the presence of the camera, and used this as a distraction to grab Seth and kill him in a darkened area.
Alex was still needed, so Jay left after that. Later, after finding Alex and Amy again, he killed Amy once they became separated during the season break.
Jay used this to gain leverage over Alex, whom he suspected to have information he was not divulging about the Operator.

Click the colored parts of the shield on the right to see the Houses! A thread for all the theories and all the evidence we can compile so we can discuss who ToTheArk and Hoody are. They are the same person, and its Sarah.
There is some early evidence that I sorta forgot where they are but thats just a me thing. Like Dislike. I'm just gonna quote my own thread on this Spoiler: Brian: Look at brians body and Hoodie's body.
Its possible that Brian lost a ton of weight, but hoodie is definitly much slimmer then Brian. Although it makes a lot of sence for him to be Hoodie.
Maybe brian has the same problem as Tim does. Jessica: My first thought was "But hoodie doesnt have boobs", but on second thought, Jessica didnt have a very large chest either. She is the right height and size. From what I can tell, Hoodie is slimmer then Tim and Jay, and shorter then Alex in 47 we can really see how tall Alex is.
So far Jessica is probobly the best option for hoodie. Sarah: She's about the size of Jessica, and she has not been seen since entry 9.
Alex said everyone was gone. That leaves Jessica and Sarah. So maybe a life was taken at a lake? If so who died? Well we don't know what happened to Sarah or Seth? In totheark's Advocate video we see an S in the top right. What I'm getting at, is maybe Totheark is telling us Sarah is hoodie, or maybe totheark is Sarah.
If not then maybe Sarah got drowned by Alex, and Seth became hoodie and that could be why both him and masky want Alex dead Seth: Not really much to say. He could be Hoodie he's the slimmest male character from what I saw in entry 9 or totheark. Just like Sarah he went missing.
