Tim, has your memory been spotty as of late? If so couldn't it be possible your altered state posted the video? Your altered state might not have realized how everything went down. It might be worth using a sticky note or something to ask them to see if your other state knows and make a game plan if not

TIM : Thanks for the idea, either way. I'll try to update if I see a response.

INFO / PINNED POST || 📼

ASK FATEBOUND AU : a post-canon/canon divergent Marble Hornets ask blog. this blog takes place during 2016, two years after the events of the Youtube series finish. though, in this AU, many things are different than you'd expect.

THE STORY : so far, the story starts with Tim receiving an odd message. one from the totheark account, the account that his masked alter ego and Brian had ran years prior. odd to get a message from a deadman, especially two years later. so you could probably imagine why Tim has decided to start recording everything incase he goes missing.

CHARACTERS FOR QUESTIONING

TIMOTHY "TIM" WRIGHT : he/him , 27 , supposedly the only survivor of Marble Hornets , has been living alone for the past two years under the assumption anyone else infected was dead , ASKS OPEN

MASQUE : they/she , 27 , Tim's masked "alter ego" , CANON ASKS CLOSED

BRIAN THOMAS : he/they , 26 , reanimated corpse of his past self , works on his own volition but has ties to the Operator , reached out to Tim on a last ditch effort , ASKS OPEN

MORE TO COME LATER...

RULES :

if you want your ask answered, i suggest making sure that you address a certain character. no group questions, just ask someone specific.

don't be weirdly romantic or pushy with any characters on this blog. it's weird for me as much as it is for the characters. remember, you're interacting with a stranger.

try not to give anyone too much information they shouldn't know yet! like telling Tim that other characters are alive, or how they survived. it kills the fun a little. but of course, if you want to be weirdly cryptic with info, that's fine by me!

no magic anons please, the tone of the blog is on the deeper side. though i do find them funny.

no OC roleplay, as well. this is very focused on my AU, and while i adore OCs, that's not what i'm going for.

DISCLAIMERS :

this blog will likely cover dark topics. such topics may include but are not limited to : death , mental health struggles , mental hospitals , violence , and suicidal thoughts or tendencies.

viewer discretion is advised, you are in charge of your own triggers. anything will be tagged with a trigger warning as i see fit. but you have been warned.

BEFORE YOU INTERACT :

don't expect any ships to be made canon... while i have on other ask blogs, this one is meant to be more angsty without much (if any) romantic sub plots.

as well, understand that i won't be answering every single ask. i can attempt to, but that's going to burn me out in the long run. and i'd love for this blog to last.

last addition, this blog isn't intended for a younger audience. while it isn't restricted to any certain age, most content will likely be more suited for users 16+. though, i'm not your mom. you can decide whether or not to consume the content i make.

OTHER INFO :

this blog is stand alone! while ran by the mod of @askcollegehornets , this is its own story/au.

mod goes by harley or z0mbie.d0g, sign-off is either A/N or ZD

mod's main blog is @z0mbie-d0g so notifs from this blog are truly from that one

any character sign-offs will appear as "[NAME] : ", so it shouldn't be very confusing on who's saying what.

A/N : I think it's about time I've posted this... Trust me, you'll want to zoom in, the colors don't contrast as well as I'd hoped. Hopefully you've noticed some teasers of things to come! I won't be answering any questions on teasers yet, but feel free to ask about Masque and Tim!

[ask-fatebound-au]

TIM : I responded to the new email... We'll see where this goes. I offered to meet whoever's behind this at Rosswood within the next couple days. At least if it's some prank nothing will come from it.

TIM : If it's Brian, though... I'm not sure what to expect from this. I don't know whether I should be worried or not. Maybe it's a good thing. Or maybe I'm being thrown back into this rabbit hole again. I guess only time will tell, right? At least if it is Brian, I can't spread this sickness anymore...

TIM : I don't know. I'll try to update on this soon.

[ask-fatebound-au]

Tim if you're not willing to talk about it with another person(which is understandable I more sent the Ask as a hail mary since cops and mental health institutions aren't usually gonna believe it's actually a stalker and not just you being "crazy"), write down how you're feeling then? You don't have to keep it either. If I don't want anyone to see my writing I'll burn it and/or completely black the page out

TIM : Me and Masque have been attempting to journal. She doesn't seem to be using it but... It's something at least. Maybe it'll go somewhere or at least help me out. Again, I'll try to keep you updated on things, I swear.

[ask-fatebound-au]

Tim be careful finding positive triggers, I'd get them to agree first or if she knows list them. If you didn't want to be out of the inner world, or what you call it, being drawn out(let's pretend cigarettes are a positive trigger) by a cigarette and you don't want a cigarette right then. Higher than not chance you wouldn't have wanted that, if you knew that a cigarette would force you to be present communicating that can cause less negative emotions towards your positive trigger

Inner worlds are a plural living space in the mind where anyone could interact with one another and often are personal to a system like having places from good and/or bad memories in there. Like if you had a show(let's pretend it's Danny Phantom) that you got obsessed with, you could have the main place Danny Phantom resides as the main place/town but where you stayed as a kid be your internal house. Your able to leave the house and not everyone will live in the house(for example, a copy of Danny Phantom within and he's there living in his house) you can interact with them in and outside the house and generally go anywhere in town. Maybe a little to the right of Amity Park(Danny Phantoms main town) there's a place just made of one of your fears. ECT, I can give a few more examples if needed but inner worlds look different due to different traumas and are pretty personal so I will not go into Deep meaning as it could give you a one size fits all for this and it's not.

TIM : ...Alright. Kind of being bombarded by info in these asks. But I'll.. figure it out, I guess. Thanks for the advice.

TIM : But I don't get the inner world things. I mean, I can imagine places in my head, but I can't visualize or communicate with her. Maybe that's just an issue on my own, but we've never exactly talked that much. I don't know, this has been a lot of new information. Thanks anyway.

[ask-fatebound-au]

Tim have you heard of Dissociative disorders? I've got one and you do hit a lot of those requirement boxes, so it might be worth looking into these types of disorders or at least how others cope with them. At the very least, I think some of the mechanisms would benefit you and Maskque

TIM : Me and my psychiatristhave definitely brought it up. I'm not at a point where I feel comfortable looking too far into it. Or, I wasn't. I might ask about it, depending on how this whole situation goes.

[ask-fatebound-au]

Tim, something might have forced her out, Brian's shown there's ways to get her out and in plural living(sharing the same body with multiple people or states[if one prefers to be called a state]) there are positive and negative triggers. You could have had a positive trigger(a good but not always wanted response) which forced her out or a negative trigger(a bad not always wanted response) doing so. You both might remember the time they were out as it might not have forced you out of control/front/conscious. There's also a chance another could have been attempting to make themselves known, if it was your body posting it and not actually anyone else. They could be stuck back in the timeframe that all of That went down

Like if you were eating food that reminded you both of easier times, it positivity triggering her out with you while eating but after eating they taking full control and posting it. Or it could have triggered another out, who went to post it once fully by themselves

TIM : I'll look into it, maybe. Positives aren't something I've noticed much of with them, but I'm sure it could be possible. I think trying to find some of these triggers, with my medication, might turn out some results.

TIM : But... Trust me, I'm trying to monitor things. We'll figure it out together, they know a lot better than I do on this. At least, I can assume so. My therapist has "talked" with them more than I have, at least. He's said they've made some breakthroughs, I'm forgetting some of the details, though.
