I knew it would happen but I cried a lot more than I thought I would tonight. Started watching Cobra at the lowest point in my life. Turned a lot of things around in that time. I saw so much of myself in him, bad and good. It's been pretty dry in my area the last few weeks but there's a thunderstorm rolling in right now. God I hope Cobra is somewhere right now seeing how much good he did for the world.

I quit drinking through Cobes, but tonight I made a drink combo of whole milk, Japanese banana coconut milk, Crystal Light pink lemonade mix, and a big shot of Vanilla extract. It was fucking delicious toobz. Love you guys

If you ever read this, thank you to Clint and Tanis and the whole family for the beautiful tribute. Long Live Ozzy and fuck the trolls. Josh forever
 
...imagine if people sent him a new guitar? Some pedals to fuck around with? A 5150?
Aw dude this is hurting me. The amount of daydreams like that I've been having this last month... I never sent him anything, and only ever interacted him on chat once, but I keep thinking what could have been some cool stuff he would have actually liked. I have a bit of a collection of snake skin sheds I picked up from zoos over the years and from a friend of mine who's a very dedicated ball python keeper and breeder, maybe he would have liked some of those.
I also have an IRL friend who was the biggest Ozzy fan I've ever known before stumbling into Cobra and I remember that at one time, like a decade ago after he had a surgery I got him this stupid get-well-card that had the oz-man dressed up in a surgeon's uniform. Maybe in an alternate reality if Josh got to the hospital on time and pulled through I could/would have sent one like that to him. Maybe, mind. Stupid, useless thoughts, not productive or helpful in any way, but they keep nagging at me. It is what it is.
 
I haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but looking through the pictures is already making me cry. Maybe it's because seeing Cobes as a young, innocent goober (like all kids are) hits me, or maybe it's the fact that I used to—and still do—love snakes. But just knowing he always marched to the beat of his own drum is genuinely cool.

A thunderstorm just hit my area too.

It’s heartbreaking how it ended, though. I really hope his family finds comfort and healing.
 
I don't wanna be too gay, but seeing some of the stuff cobes dad said about him, I can relate to cobes and had a lot in common with him growing up.

I cried like a bitch watching the stream, and I think the best takeaway is that cobes was surrounded by love and family the whole way, and the reddit fucks that messed with him will die alone, with nothing but mutilated cocks, dilators and tranny polycules to bring them comfort.

Playing Ozzy tonight and drinking whatever the fuck is in my fridge, possibly raw egg whites.
 
Circle of protection on death bed tapes.
I would give anything to be able to go back in time and get Josh to wear a gas mask while he's spraypainting his wands. Hindsight is a fickles mistress, youtube. i didn't even know spraypainting is so dangerous either, i had no idea it'd fuck you up so bad. i'm sure he'd still be with us and be a motherfucking rockstar til he's 60 with this 1 change.
i wish clint was my dad. :punished: we live in evil times man
Is that what it was??
I might have missed it but I thought it was liver or pancreas failure?
 
Im I the only one who thought Cobes' memorial was 10 x more impactful heartfelt organic wholesome then Charlie Kirk's political rally?

Clint really deserves so much credit. He's a great guy.

i hope this doesn’t derail the thread but honestly:

heartfelt josh saunders celebration of life > GOP slop fest disguised as a memorial for charlie kirk.

inhaling spraypaint from spraying it 10000 times inside his apartment is the catalyst for making him totally regarded and having lower impulse control so he was drinking more liquor than water and came around to the idea of huffing duster on purpose later. he'd have made better content and spoken more coherently if it werent for the spraypaint fucking him up.
its not what directly killed him he was doing it years ago. its what indirectly killed him imo

This photo and any of the one with animals you can see the genuine joy he has on his face.

What a fucking beautiful send off. God speed Cobes. 100% gonna miss you.

Time to blast some Ozzy in honor.

IDK what the most expensive troll purchase was but someone could have looked up Randy's pedal board and threw a cheapo version of it off Amazon circuit board clones together for him for like, 150, 200 bucks.

lathes can get fucking pricey
 
Cobes has always sat in what is (almost) the worst zone of mental deficiency. He was always visibly "weird" but it might not have always been immediately apparent that he was full-on disabled versus just like, one of the strange locals every small town has. If he had Down's or severe FAS, the kind of thing with recognizable physical markers, he probably would've been bullied a lot less because people would instantly get it and would probably take it a lot easier on him. He was also disabled enough to recognize his own shortcomings, but not disabled enough to not care about them. His only saving grace, if one can even call it that, was that he was disabled enough to get some government benefits so he could be at least somewhat independent. Really really unlucky, ever since the day he was born. :(
and i think this is one of the most relatable things about him.
 
Man, alot of what was in the stream was stuff that was either speculated by fans or just stories of him acting just like how he would on stream. Being drunk after watching the celebration of life, I just got bombarded with slop on my YouTube feed of grifters, cooking channels, what have you, alot of which I subscribed to. But they are all fake or putting on a persona or trying to clean up and present a sanitized version of themselves for ad money.
He was the realest person on YouTube, and the only one who's channel I'd check every day. He didn't give a shit about anything other than his own interests, family, pets and gender relations. I don't know many people who you could really say that about in this modern hellscape of an internet.
 
One of the most endearing things is that Josh undoubtably loved Clint despite their differences and troubles. One of the cutest instances of Josh admiring his dad was when NaL was flirting with him about his biceps and Josh said something like “if you think my muscles are big you should see my dads”
 
I'm sure Darf is grieving, we all have our own ways of grieving. It would make sense that he wouldn't want to make it public because of cobes alogs, I just hope he's ok and maybe one day a new video from him will pop up in my notifs, Cobes related or not.
the thing i feel like some people are forgetting with darf is that him and josh were friends but they were not the type of friends that spend every single second of the day around each other. they are the type of friends that can just not talk for years and instantly start right back where they left off. anyone trying to act like darf does not care or whatever else is retarded just like the retards trying to say clints memorial for josh was too focused on himself rather than josh.
