I haven't seen any updates, but he's replying to comments on old Cobes content so he's still alive. I reckon he's working hard on A Special Blonde and IRL is being busy for him.

I don't wanna speak for the guy, but being a creative: I think I know a thing or two about what he's feeling.

When I'm working on a project, I always put off finishing it. Finishing something means you can't work on it anymore, and sometimes that's all you want to do. Maybe for Seizure, he's putting it off because finishing means truly saying goodbye, and not making any new Cobra content. It's gotta be hard when he's been doing it for so long...

better not say BYE, boy

Anything new on Seizure doing some tribute? Wasn't he also recording something about DSP with Chauncey?

The farewell animation is really coming together... I'm finally starting to get a sense of relief as for much of the project I wasn't actually sure if it would work. Unfortunately this is a lot like the time I worked on that sprite animation from the "Cobra and Creativity" episode, where I wanna say I disappeared for around 6 months. lol the problem is that I jump into different mediums not knowing what the hell I'm doing and I wind up being incredibly inefficient with my time, until I finally get the hang of it. What's nice is that I can now do a sprite animation in way, way less time, and going forward I should be able to do this new style of animation much faster. I'm kind of an idiot for stopping everything for this long but sometimes I'm stubborn about what I want to do.

lol I'm dying to be done with this so that I can catch up on all the other projects that have been collecting dust in the meantime. I'm genuinely embarrassed to have kept people waiting for so long and the pressure only increases. I think you touched on something though, and that is since this is probably one of the last Cobra things I'm gonna do, I got overly ambitious. I'm also now hooked on making animations in general, so when this is over I'm going to want to finish the CWC intro animation I had started on right before Cobra passed. Hehohoho that's gonna have to wait until I have some stuff for people to enjoy in the meantime however. There'll be nothing but skeletons waiting patiently otherwise.
 
It's been exactly 12 years.
On February 24th 2014, Gothic King Cobra by trappped was uploaded on YT. This was the video which introduced me to the world of KCJFS when it was posted in a 4chan thread years later.


 
Is there a KF local copy of the 2014 Gothic King Cobra documentary?
 
I did a very Josh thing last night and tried to speed up the 'de-thaw" of the shrimp by putting the ring in cold water after opening it and ensuring the plastic covering them was in place. Well, it was held in place mostly by ice crystals and just draped over them. So I ended up having to eat nearly 50 medium sized shrimp last night because they weren't going to do very well in the fridge, already thawed (er, de-thawed) and soaking up water in the sink.

Surprisingly, I haven't yet shit myself this morning, but I'm expecting that at any time.

A lolcow is an internet slang term combining "LOL" and "cow," used to describe individuals with an online presence who are seen as eccentric, gullible, or prone to behaviors that invite ridicule or trolling. The term implies that these individuals can be "milked" for entertainment or "lols" due to their reactions to provocation or unintentionally humorous actions. Lolcows are controverisal figures who are often retarded, making them targets for online communities like Reddit or TikTok, where users exploit or laugh their actions for amusement. The term originated in early...

Even for TTS, that's a bit of a stretch for Josh. FSF wasn't during his worst time, but I recall him still being pretty inebriated during that time, still.

Josh had audible hallucinations, but to my knowledge, never got into more than a shoving fight with Warlord and who knows who else over the years- but he went out of his way to always state that it wasn't OK to hurt women.

I believe his own story that he used the wrong soap, fucked it up, his ODD took over and he cut it up and threw it away because he felt shame- same as the masturbator someone sent him that he kept calling a "pocket pussy."

The fact that he wrote songs about pain and hatred for his mother, but his very own celebration of life shows just how gentle and tender he was with his step-sister, who was obviously crying despite herself. The fact that he acted like he was going to shoot himself instead of outright decking NAL (which was deserved in my opinion) should tell you where Josh was in his relationships.

He laughed hysterically about stabbing a deer, squished a bird cause it fell out of its nest, cause that meant it was doomed anyway, he gave his dog nugs of weed.

I don't remember anything about stabbing the deer, but peeing on a dead deer's eye. I do recall crushing the bird, but I have no idea what the state of that was- I guess that I've accepted those mostly as conjecture, because let's face it- Josh made up shit all of the time. I won' t deny him giving the dogs weed- he admitted to blowing it on Obie.

Anyone dumb enough to go after a wild/injured animal is gonna get hurt. That's pretty simple. You don't fuck with trash/barn cats- and if it was caged and Josh let it out? Yeah, it would have done that. I got bit by a squirrel too back when I was in the single digits- my grandparents encouraged me to feed it a fucking Cheeto.

Nobody's going to claim Josh did no wrong, but assuming what he did was more intentional than negligent is just weird. He was a huge fuckup and died a huge fuckup. He obviously had issues that could have made him a worse person- if he was competent at it. Instead he just stayed inside from the world that berated him constantly and drank himself to dead.

It was an antelope. He

  • pissed on it
  • farted on it
  • LITERALLY stuck his ass on its face and farted
  • peed on its eye to make it look like it was crying
  • mocked it
  • stabbed it with the samurai sword until it jumped up and twitched and plopped over
  • laughed his ass off

I mean if it was dead, at least it wasn't suffering. But if I was really so good with animals, then just having been part of what ended an animal's life would probably make me too sad to do all this shit. Even he called it sadistic.

I think Cobes often just emphasized how good he was with animals cause he knew that made him look like a better person than he was.

He fantasized about hurting people on some occassions. In the your gay son documentary, he was in a parking lot, refusing to get out of the way of a car and then commented that "you had the chance to run me over and I would've stabbed you" or something. He streamed a video where he cried about getting rejected and how cool Snape is and then fantasized about torturing people with magic to get revenge, like he was some kind of death eater.

I don't believe anything here to be grounded in reality any more than I believe Ozzy shouted "Praise Cobra's Magic!" You're welcome to believe whatever you want, but on the whole, Josh was full of shit.

That's just how it goes with picking up or expanding a workflow. Often I think of a quick joke that I can only do in After Effects and it ends up being hours of frame-by-frame toil. So far, it's been worth it every time.
 
I’m surprised this thread’s still going. You’d think six months after the Gothic King passed, it would’ve fizzled out. But it’s really nice to see people still remembering and talking about him.
 
I've been watching Cobra clip compilations recently (mostly Bitesize -- I hope that's one of the good ones), and I've really gained an appreciation for his earlier content. It was a time when he was still interacting with other people, and it is truly fascinating to watch. I've always enjoyed seeing him with his friends (like Darf, Alex Anderson, and Scotty (RIP)), but his interactions with those outside of his sphere are truly a sight to behold.

I watched the video he made (maybe it was a "responce [sic] video") to LeeAnn Michelle (or maybe LeeAnn Mitchell or LeeAnn Michael -- Jord isn't sure) reacting to one of his videos, and it is an emotional rollercoaster. Cobes cycles through condescension to anger to agreement to offense so rapidly as this woman simply states her opinion about what he put out there. He is incensed that anyone could have an opposing view to his own. He is baffled how anyone could see the insane way in which he dresses and presents himself as bizarre. And he misunderstands her sarcastic "I love him." It is truly a sight to behold.

And then I watched a summary of the "Gothic Dee" saga. The amount of autistic looping from both parties is almost unbelievable. The video I watched was nearly 2 hours long, but it could have been condensed to about 15 minutes if each person would have only made their point once instead of repeating over and over. The way that simple misunderstandings get completely blown out of proportion is sitcom-esque. It is amazing watching the two get incredibly agitated and snap at each other over essentially nothing. It was just fascinating to witness.




I'll occasionally see flippant comments online that say things like "social media was a mistake" or "I wish Al Gore had never invented the internet" but I couldn't disagree with that sentiment more. Weirdos were interacting with each other long before social media or the internet came around, and they would interact with each other with or without those things. The internet didn't create eccentrics -- it only gave them a platform to broadcast themselves. By making those interactions public, the rest of us can become aware of what they're like, how they think, and how they react to things. It's important to recognize that not everyone thinks the same way I do, and sometimes people react in ways that I never could have anticipated. There's no better way to learn that lesson than to witness it directly.

Is there a Local copy of the Now its a party doc? I feel like that amateur doc encapsulated the purest form of the Bog in his peak form. I prefer the first edit over the somewhat shorter version. I think ive watched them sober, drunk, and high.
I know Seiz and BPFs touched on this a tiny bit but id LOVE Cobes and Anime episode covering what little of Toonani shows he glanced at, or that one old clip of couch Chris and his friend or brother watching Hellsing. Along with a speculative section what the bou would have thought about fanservice, harem, and isekai shows.

Considering how much he loved Ozzy and music overall, I’m confident that, he would have been fascinating to talk to about music. His autism likely meant he had a deep, detailed love and understanding of it.
Or at least of the music he liked.

Lol no. He didn't like Ozzy because of his music, he watched The Osbournes as a kid and always wanted to be him.

It's the same with his favorite movie Tombstone, the movie is awesome but Cobra doesn't care about story, actors or cinematography. He wanted to be Doc Holiday.
