It might be possible the darkened shadows around J's symbolize a deeper connection with totheark because in the video in which we see the masked person thought to be totheark, the person's eyes are heavily darkened. In this video J is incapacitated, much like Alex was (this only fits if Alex is in fact totheark)
It seems like the masked man is an accomplice of slenderman, while totheark is giving information to Jay that was taken out of the tapes. It also seems Totheark is helping Jay by distracting Slenderman in the video to me.
idk, it's all very confusing.
My general theory is that Alex was visited by Slenderman when he was a child. This is why in Entry 22 he says "I thought I could run away, now it's gotten worse." when he came to shoot marble hornets here, he found Slenderman again who he originally forgot about. after being stalked by slenderman he regained his childhood memories and became extremely paranoid about it. This is why he was searchin for Slenderman in a playground in Entry 4.
Tim is the masked man, a servant controlled by slenderman. Tim doesn't want to be controlled by slenderman which is why he has a seizure in episode 19. he doesn't want Jay to know his true identity obviously.
Totheark is a third party leading/guiding Jay. He does appear to be angry with Jay/the world as he says things like "You've been keeping secrets" "Smile for the camera" "Smile for death" but at the same time has helped Jay by leading him to the location of Alex's hidden video tape etc.
Maybe Totheark is Tim when he is managing to resist slendermans control?
It's all very confusing haha
Also I found this blog which is connected to the whole thing as a sidestory:
Notice the significance of burning trees in this sidestory and that in, I believe the 20th entry, there is a painting of burning trees that Alex fiddles with and puts up against the wall.
Yeah, http://jafool.wordpress.com/ is really good to read on the side when you're sorta in that 'oh shit' kinda mood after watching some of the videos, if you wanna get more into the mood and stuff. Fun things to watch but have fun sleeping
These stalking things really get to me. I know my friend, Cedric, said that he keeps seeing the same girl everywhere. It's kind of a creepy thought o.O

Everymanhybrid and tribetwelve just isn't as good D:
I would love to sit down one day and break down what exactly makes this super freaky. I think it creeps me out more than normal because I'm naturally paranoid.
