Theory: Who is ToTheArk and Who is Hoody?

Subject: Theory: Who is ToTheArk and Who is Hoody? Sat Apr 13, 2013 1:54 pm

A thread for all the theories and all the evidence we can compile so we can discuss who ToTheArk and Hoody are.

Personally? 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.

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. So lets see who is gone: Jay (not gone),
Tim (not gone), Brian (dead),
Seth (unknown), Jessica (unknown).
That leaves Jessica and Sarah. (thanks to MasterGriefer19 for this) In
totheark's operator video we see these words: "Lakes In Stillnesss Will
Take
Every Life." Lets see what we can get from this. "Lake in stillness
waits, will take every life". 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. Except we never see any hinting at him being hoodie
the way we did for Sarah and Jessica. Althought based on Alex's behavior in entry 9 I would also want Alex dead.

Now that thats out of the way, another idea I have about hoodie is that
maybe he is 'behind the scenes' guy. Maybe Hoodie is like gman from half
life, going around settings everything up for what he wants, and is
not really a human creature at all. Maybe he's the same kind of entity and slenderman.
My other idea is that Totheark's name (to the ark) might be referering to hoodie or Alex.
Maybe
"The ark" is a human vessel that slenderman uses for certain things. He
took Alex in the woods, so maybe Alex is his vessel that he uses to
trick people. Like he knew Jay trusted Alex so he decided to take Alex.
Also
remember our good friend Beardie? Maybe he was sent by hoodie as a
warning. Maybe the entire reason he was there, was Hoodie told him to go
there so that Jay could see he shouldnt trust Alex.

I tend to side with Brian as hoodie as there's no conclusive evidence he's dead (Alex's "...is gone" list included Jay after all, and we have good reason to suspect Jay is not dead either). There's no in-narrative reason for it not to be Seth but given there's a real out-of-narrative for it not to be (as I recall he was never part of Troy/Joseph/Tim's production and was just a friend-of-a-friend who provided a face for a scene), it's unlikely. Sarah's a possible, and I would be pleasantly surprised if it was, but my money's still on Brian. Jessica's pretty much an impossible fit; Hoodie's first chronological appearance is before Jessica was drawn into the whirlwind by Jay

Secretly I love to entertain the idea that Hoodie is Amy, because it's not looking like we'll ever resolve what happened to her after Ol' Slim turned up. But the odds on that would make me a millionaire if I was a betting man

I just thought of something. I know that this is very, very, very unlikely, but what if Hoody is that guy that Jay mistook for Masky?

2:39 to 4:59 in this video.

I've come to the opinion, thinking about the most recent TTA video, that ToTheArk is either a separate individual from both Hoody and Tim-when-he's-Masky, or TTA is a collective with at least a third member we haven't seen. The hidden message at the end of "Decline" seems fairly unambiguously to be referring to Alex, who we were previously told was not going to live to see that birthday. The only person who could have ensured that Alex was "gone" was Hoody, because it was he who lured Alex into the maintenance tunnels in the first place, and it's unlikely he would have to ask himself if he did the deed

I've wondered recently if TTA as a collective might expand beyond the clutch of people we've seen in Marble Hornets, not least because it would help to tie in Jay's between-season experiences in the creepy shop. From a narrative perspective though it would be rather clunky, and they're leaving it pretty late in the game to say it outright

I am still thinking that either TTA is Jessica or Brian... Or possibly both. One theory that was recently concieved in my mind though is that in the first season Totheark was Tim/Masky and that the account was hacked somewhere down the line between the 1st and 2nd seasons by Hoody.

Subject: Re: Theory: Who is ToTheArk and Who is Hoody? Fri Apr 19, 2013 8:24 am

Although I do honestly believe Hoody/TTA IS most likely Brian or Jessica, I don't think that we can rule out Seth.

I mean it is definately not likely, but ou never know.

Or like already said, Hoody/TTA could end up being someone we don't even know about yet.

It's pretty much confirmed that TTA is a collective. Like Jay once tweeted, the videos are vastly different in style. Hoodie's pretty clearly the one making the most recent videos: I might be wrong, but I think I recall Hoodie being shown as the one who took Tim's pills, and the video where it was uploaded included accompanying text that's in the same font as the text in all the TTA video. Most likely is that Tim was creating videos for season 1, Hoodie's been creating them for season 3, and it's a combination of the two for season 2.

As for hoodie--well, thanks to Alan for pretty much confirming for me that Jessica is not Hoodie. I'd say Amy or Seth, since they have the most similar build, and I'm leaning towards Seth on the flimsy assumption that hoodie walks like a dude.
