Brian Thomas, better known as Creepypaste Hoodie, was a character in the history of ARG Marble Hornets and seems to have been Tim's good friend.
His appearance was noticed at the beginning of the series in several tapes, which showed that he is the main character for the Marble Hornets, but is constantly annoyed and confused by Alex's attitude.
The Creepy Pasta Hoody
In entry # 51, Brian walks innocently and gets some thought-provoking snapshots of himself wandering around a burned-out building that Alex plans to declare to be Brian's old burned-out character school. During the shooting, Brian becomes very embarrassed, and he asks Alex to hurry, but soon after that the operator attacks him. When the camera turns on again, Brian runs across the building behind Alex and runs into Tim, who is coughing in the corner of the burned room. When Brian turns, the cameraman is behind him, and the video ends again. When the video returns, Brian is taken off the screen by an unknown figure, presumably Alex, and another figure (or perhaps the same one) picks up the camera and leaves it behind.
Continuation of the history of the hoodie creepaste
Record No. 54 again shows Brian, however, given that he is in order, this tape should be before record No. 51. Here he is waiting with Alex in Tim’s apartment, and Tim leaves to turn on the power again. He is in the apartment to discuss what the music from the film should be. He is also on record No. 55, trying to shoot the scene and talking with Alex and Tim about a possible shooting location.
Character essence
Hoody is a fan-made prodigy assigned to a hooded character in Marble Hornets, which first appeared in Entry 41. Little is known about him until he gets close to Entry 83, but even after the series ends there are a lot of questions. The sweatshirt with a hood was seen in several recordings, for the first time in recording No. 39, where he appears, chasing Jay while he sleeps in his car.
Confrontation
During story 83, Tim attacks Hoody, causing him to fall from the windowsill, apparently killing. Tim takes the tape from his pocket, which is shown during recording No. 84 as a video recording of Alex Marble Hornets listening before he met the Operator. It was shown that during the auditions, Brian was dressed in the same hoodie that Hoodie always wore, which made Tim believe that he was the same character. This theory was later confirmed in article 86, which also indicated that Hoody had indeed been killed in the fall. In an interview for Marble Hornets, Troy Wagner, Joseph DeLage and Tim Sutton confirmed that Brian is Hoody.
Hoody's connections and intentions were never clear, although it is known that he tried to kill Alex.
Addiction
Record No. 73 shows that Hoody regularly uses pills, as he has several empty containers with them in his home. The fact that he stole pills from both Alex and Tim confirms the theory that Hoody has the same symptoms as Tim.
Name history
The Hoodie nickname was coined by fans, as the character was originally simply called the "figure in the hood." The names Hoodie and Masky were eventually adopted by THAC as a canon. It was created by THAC for ARG Marble Hornets. Contrary to popular belief, the hoodie is neither a creep pasta character nor a trustee. Hoodies and Masks appeared on the YouTube series The Marble Hornets. Not only are they not trusted agents, they have never even come into contact with Slender Man. The main antagonist of the Marble Hornets is the Operator, a character similar to Slenderman, with some changes in fundamental aspects. The cameraman plays a big role in the history of Hoody.
Role in the plot
In fact, the opposite is true, since everyone is constantly trying to stop Alex, who is also trying to destroy the Operator, but in a different way than them. In addition, Hoodies and Masks are alternative personalities of Brian Thomas and Tim Wright. By the end of Marble Hrnets, Brian was dead, and Tim threw off his personality changes. None of them controlled the shifts, showed no ability to remember what happened, and Tim specifically does everything for both Mask and himself to stop the Operator as quickly as possible. By the end of the series, Tim and Hody were enemies, and Hody was eventually killed by Tim and then declared Brian.
Black eyed children
If you believe the story of Hoody, he has a kinship with black-eyed children. Black-eyed children are an urban legend of alleged paranormal creatures that resemble children from 6 to 16 years old, with pale skin and black eyes. They hitchhike or fool around, or meet on the doorstep of apartment buildings. Tales of black-eyed children have existed since the 1950s.
Legend story
The legend allegedly came from 1996 reports written by Texas-based reporter Brian Bethel on the Ghost Mailing List, which talks about two alleged encounters with black-eyed children. Bethel describes a meeting with two such children in Abilene, Texas in 1996 and claims that the other person had a similar, unrelated meeting in Portland, Oregon. Bethel's stories began to be seen as classic examples of cryptipasta. They became so popular that he published frequently asked questions in order to simply keep up with the demand for additional information about the new city legend.
In popular culture
In 2012, the Black Eyed Kids horror film was shot with financial support from Kickstarter, and its director noted that creepy children were an urban legend that had been flying on the Internet for many years, and he always thought it was fascinating. The 2013 MSN Weekly Strange episode, which reported black-eyed children, is thought to have helped spread the story online, as did Hoodie’s story in its time.
Over the course of one week in September 2014, the British tabloid Daily Star published three sensational front-page news stories about alleged sightings of black-eyed children related to the sale of a haunted pub in Staffordshire. The newspaper claims a shocking increase in observations around the world. Alleged observations are taken seriously by ghost hunters, some of whom consider black-eyed children to be aliens, vampires, or ghosts.
Debunking a myth
The publicist Sharon A. Hill could not find any documents about the children with black eyes and came to the conclusion that the stories are transmitted as stories about friends of a friend. Hill believes the legend resembles typical eerie folklore stories, such as a ghostly black dog, where the subject is not supernatural, and perhaps there has never been a real original encounter. The hero of the creep pasta Hoody, whose photos and images you can see in this article, is very similar to a typical representative of black-eyed children.
