Entry #53 Discussion

Perhaps we will see why Tim got so fucked up, or learn more about the masky business, or just get additional freak out tapes, who knows. In anyway, I feel having read the tweets put me ahead of the game when this came out, however infuriating the process itself may have been. The video surrounding the antique shop is kind of lacking, he didn't reference that painting he was so obsessed about in the tweets at all, and the woman who worked there was kind of... meh. The meeting scenes between Jay and Tim was really awkward, and at first I didn't like them, but they seemed to work after I re-watched. I do think that he would have put more thought into what he would be saying granted that it had been so long and that he had so much time to think about it. That call at the end, the slight amounts of distortion, the coughs, I'm so ready for this season. It wasn't an amazing comeback, but it sure has gotten me excited for what's to come. Like ryantherebel said, the calm before the storm. What a storm this shall be.

Seeing as Tim smokes, the coughing thing doesn't seem to hold a lot of ground in regards to Slenderman, but as he exhibited a more slender-sickness stye coughing in one of the earlier entries (can't remember which one, sorry), it can't be completely ruled out. here it's a more guttural cough, while in other entries it was the light, repetitive cough of a person in close proximity to Slendy, so is it just a mindscrew, or what?

Maybe Tim is going to the mental health clinic to try and rid himself of Masky? Perhaps Slendy's left him alone long enough that he's recognizing some of the signs of a personality disorder and he's doing the smart thing and seeking help? In any case, I think its safe to say that Masky is going to be playing a more active role than just showing up twice and scaring someone shitless or showing up to help Alex shoot himself.And who knows, we might see more of Sinclair (Gas Masky) while we're at it.

Couldn't this just be a case of effect/cause cause/effect, where he smokes because maybe he lost his memory like Jay, and coughs like a smoker? The mindset of Because I cough, I must smoke, so I smoke more, therefore my coughing is normal. Plus there's distortion here and there in the video.

The most recent time that we saw Kneecap (my nickname for masky) Was in the hotel room, when Jay clocked him in the head with a maglight. Perhaps the sudden blunt force trauma to the head did something to him. Of course there were still ToTheArk responses, but I'm still a firm believer that they are different entities. In this entry, Tim really did not seem to remember Jay or anything, so he either is very good at hiding it, or he really doesn't remember.

Now, say he did remember everything. Jay knows that Tim is Kneecap, and Tim should know that Jay knows, because of Entry 35. I feel that if he really did remember, it would have happened more like this:

Jay would be waiting outside the clinic when Tim shows up. Jay would have called out to him like he did. Now there are different possibilities, I'll go over two of them. First possibility would be that Tim would tackle Jay and leave him for dead there. More likely though, Tim probably would have just ran off, and Jay would have tried to chase him down. After losing him, Jay would go back to the clinic, and try the sitting game for another week or so, and give up when Tim never comes back.

I really doubt they would have both played stupid if they both knew what was up, so I sincerely believe that Tim does not remember shit.

Jay thinks it's a pretty big coincidence that Alex and Tim would both be there? He KNOWS that Tim is Masky and KNOWS that Masky was there.
I'm going to sit outside the mental health clinic every day with my camera: That's a great way to get arrested there, Jay.
This man has shown signs of psychosis and multiple personality disorder and has been stalking me, me in particular. Better give him my phone number.
It's been nearly a year since I told this guy I was going to restart a film project, after over eight months with no mention of it at all I better stick to that same story.
Ooooh! Look, an abadoned building site in a town I don't know in area of the state where messed up stuff has been happening to me, usually when I wander off on into potentially dangerous places. BETTER WANDER AROUND IT ON MY OWN! GOT NOTHIN' BETTER TO DO!"
