things i for sure want to add:
images gallery​
his discography​
any art i can find (his clock towered dream house sketch)​
"recipes" archive for his drink hacks and food combos​
i want to finish a list of his favourite things​
any other suggestions? nothing is concrete, im not like a professional or anything and ik it looks like crap but i think he wouldve appreciated the effort. big ups, much love cobros
Not bad, if you get someone to edit it. It reads like word soup.

A fanart page would be fun, though.
 
the world is darker without cobes in it.
i haven't accepted that we're not getting a video responce, a food hack, or livestream ever again.
seeing the grey 'inactive' on this thread is like a gut punch every time.

i selfishly wish we could have our own memorial, just to prove to the world how deeply loved the boy actually was
 
Today: “Mixing together two things that should never be put together”

In 10 years: “Hello welcome to Faggy McBistro farm to table! Our spirits magician has recently updated our drink specials to include the Snake’s Fog, an imported Belgian wheat with a dash of citrus cola.”
 
So you let him drink and huff himself to death?
"Oh, what can I do, he's an ugly retard, might as well let him die."
My main complaint with Clint is that he enabled Josh's defiance far too much. I think that was a big reason why Josh became so careless with drinking and his health in general. There were times raising Josh where he needed to put his foot down and maybe things could have been different.

I'm just saying that attempting to cure Josh's alcoholism since we've known him as a streamer is a losing battle. It's like trying to force a lonely loser into therapy, shut up and be a good wageslave. It's not going to work when there's nothing else for them to fight for. You may temporarily solve the short-term drinking battle, but then you're left with a broken angry soul after you've ripped away the rare things that brought them joy and peace.
 
Wow, I'm only 12 minutes in and Clint has contextualized so much about himself and their dynamic. I absolutely detest everyone that tries to lay blame at Clint's feet and this is solidifying what I already sensed.
"I realized I'm going to have to keep loving Josh and choose to be proud of what makes him happy or I'm not going to be in his life"
Heavy stuff but dude really was the best parent he or really anyone could have possibly been to this goofy knucklehead
People don’t get that kids can just leave and never come back. Pushing your child too hard never ever works, Clint did everything as close to perfect as one can get. Not without mistakes, but he always put his son first.

Add to that there’s a website where you can go with a pretty mundane complaint and you’ll be told immediately to go no contact with everyone in your life, Clint did it all right. He should really consider writing a book about how to support your child through the toughest things, all to save them.

Cobes would 100% be alive today if not for the trolls who hastened his demise. If anyone wants to blame anything, there it is. Leave Clint alone.

Clint seems like the type to enjoy the poetry of cremation but if they decide to go with burial I for one will make the trek to sit with him. It'd be cool to do a meetup with some of you dorks that really understand why Josh was relatable and deserving of compassion

Idk man, that places too much importance on the faggot weens and their choices, especially when Josh's death had nothing to do with any of that.
It's like the drama channels and their moron viewers prattling on about NAL being the cause of his death, like fuck all of these weirdos, they should be forgotten immediately because there won't be even a tenth as many tears shed when they die, probably far too long into the future.
If I had to place blame anywhere, it'd be with the people who cared about him and felt that this guy really just fucking needed a buddy but didn't feel compelled enough to reach out. How many times did the fucking faggot Plebbitors feel the need to swat him just because he was taking a booze nap on cam? Not one of those disgusting niggers thought it'd be helpful to "wellness check" the situation that actually put him underground
 
If I try one of his cocktails in remembrance, will I also die like him? Would it be honorable?
Nah, as long as you don’t have some medical condition, you’re fine. Just don’t be like some of us and try to drink like Cobes only to wake up feeling like dogshit and decide I’m not going to drink again until New Years. You’ve been warned.

I took one of those Walmart Marketside pizzas,
Those Walmart pizzas are shockingly good. Better than frozen anyway.

I mean it from the standpoint of he tried to stop drinking time and again when he was broke but would be sent more liquor. It’s not the trolls trolling that killed him, it’s the trolls sending him duster and alcohol that he’d definitely abuse.

Most of normie culture sees giving alcohol to an alcoholic an abhorrent behavior. It’s one thing if the alcoholic has means to drink himself to death, it’s wholly another if his drug of choice is delivered to his doorstep by people hoping he’ll use it to harm himself.

If the trolls never started sending him that shit, he’d be here today.
 
I got another drink comboooo.
Seagrams pineapple and star fruit
Mtn Dew Hard 0 Sugar Baja Blast
Splash of normal Mtn Dew.

I'm gonna drink this, play some vidya, then go draw and paint the boy.
may I ask what you mean by Sam Hyde? I heard the trappped doc was on the mde website in 2016 and I saw him mention him in relation to fishtank. But does it go deeper?
Sam was a fan. Fishtank has had callouts to Cobes every season, too.
 
My favorite bit of obscure cobes lore is that Gerad Way (of my chemical romance) owned a genuine copy of a cobes record. All because Gerad Way was a fan of really obscure sounding and uncanny music. And through the cobes connection with deathbed tapes, he found cobes and enjoyed it. There is nothing more goth than king of the 2000s mall goths listening to your shit cause it soooo bad its goooood.

He not only mattered.
He was indeed goth as fuck.
Not only that, Chauncey (one of the Snake Bones guest hosts) used to be a tour manager and as such he got Gerard Way into Cobra. Chauncey's memorial stream, though I don't have any timestamps as I was watching it live, crying my eyes out of my skull, is full of fantastic nuggets about Cobra lore that haven't been put into any coherent video as far as I'm aware.

See, we can be in agreement about stuff, Clint fucked up. I'm not saying he fucked up when he got him the trailer home (although back when Cobra went to the second apartment I always defended a trailer home would have been fantastic for him then, he wasn't way too far gone and he was somewhat motivated every now and then), I'm saying he fucked up a long time ago, there's no doubt that in the last 2 or 3 years (maybe even more) only a complete miracle would have changed much.
A person like Josh needed way more supervision by someone with two braincells to rub together, even after becoming an adult.

You may temporarily solve the short-term drinking battle, but then you're left with a broken angry soul after you've ripped away the rare things that brought them joy and peace.
Honestly, I'd go with: "One problem at a time.".
We (Clint, the people around Josh, whoever) were not going to make him happy and change his life around while he was blackout drunk and high huffing duster, that's for sure.
You are not wrong, it would be hard, Josh had a lot of resentment, a lot of fear of the world, a lot of loathing for himself, it could maybe end in a similar outcome, but I wish there had been a strong attempt, even say 2 or 3 years ago in a nearly desperate hail Mary to do something.
Hell, I'd have liked a desperate attempt at anything as recently as whenever he moved to the trailer, that place saw Josh go downhill like crazy.

But you are right, the things that (in one way or another) were killing him were also the things that brought him anything close to joy: drugs, booze and the internet.
 
The Natrona County government has made a statement about Cobra's death.
Sorry if I'm late but there is an active investigation about the circumstances of his death to go with the autopsy.

Didn't they also try to get him on as a fish for one of the last seasons too? I thought I heard Jet had reached out to him at one point or something. Also the guy who made the first doc was an editor for the original MDE
I don't know why I couldn't find the clip of it but they did mention on a stream I think on season 2 about how they would be able to get Cobes on the show and they were trying to estimate how many packs of cigarettes would constitute a lifetime supply or an entire room full of cigs something like that.

If I recall, there were talks, during the time Cobra had Puff (can't tell you much more specifically when), in fact the poor little lizard was exactly the excuse he used (at least publicly) to not go.
