What would Josh / King Cobra want fans to do in the event of his death?
In the event of his death, Josh, also known as King Cobra JFS, has not provided explicit, direct instructions for his fans. However, his recurring statements and philosophy on life, death, and remembrance throughout the sources offer significant insight into what he would likely want his fans to do:
• Reject Suicide and Cherish Life
◦ Josh is vehemently anti-suicide, frequently stating "Fuck suicide".
◦ He often cites his idol Danny Filth's advice that one should not kill oneself, as "You'll never know what you'll miss out on in life a warm winter's day or eating a hot dog".
◦ He believes that suicide causes immense pain and misery for "friends, family and my fans".
◦ His personal philosophy is to "appreciate what you have", to "enjoy all the time I have left" because "Every day I wake up is a blessing", and to "enjoy life to the fullest" as you "never know when your last moment happens". He sees "Life is beautiful" and believes there is "no reason to do it" if one is a decent person.
• Remember Him Respectfully and Continue His Creative Legacy
◦ Josh performs acts of remembrance for others who have passed, such as pouring drinks and smoking cigarettes in tribute. He would likely desire a similar respectful remembrance, focusing on his impact and creative output rather than negativity.
◦ He explicitly wants to be remembered for his "music and my crazy food hacks and food recipes and my wands".
◦ He often speaks of his unfulfilled creative projects, such as finishing his new album and his story "Dragon Cobra". He states he has "too much life to live" to complete these. This implies a desire for his creative legacy to endure, or perhaps even for fans to see these projects through or continue his style of content.
◦ He intends to "continue to make videos as long as I can" and states his fans are his "biggest motivators" for doing so. This suggests he would want his fans to continue to find inspiration and entertainment.
• Maintain His Community and Identity
◦ Josh places immense value on his fans, considering them "more important than the trolls" and referring to them as "family". He sees his supporters as his "Cobra Cult". It is implied he would wish for this community to continue supporting each other.
◦ While his public persona is King Cobra JFS, he frequently states a preference to be called "Josh" by his friends and fans. This indicates a desire for his authentic self, Josh, to be remembered over solely his stage name.
◦ He has also shown respect for his idols, such as Ozzy Osbourne, wishing for them to be left alone and respected, rather than harassed. It can be inferred he would wish for the same consideration for his own memory.
