The Ellen Saga is a notable chapter in Josh's life that unfolded primarily through 2019 and into early 2020. This segment of his life reveals complexities surrounding his relationships, personal aspirations, and social interactions, specifically with a person named Ellen, whom Josh refers to as an “of-age, alternative woman”.

• KingCobraJFS: Never one to miss an opportunity, Josh would quickly work to make a connection with Ellen in order to prove to the Troles that he still had it. At this stage his male pattern baldness is only getting worse with his hairline going bald from both the back AND front, and his head is now starting to take its more iconic butternut squash shape.
• Darfliny: Darf would play a key role in several major incidents during this saga, whether Josh liked it or not.
• Ellen: The real star of the story, Ellen is an of-age, cisgendered goth girl who isn't related to him and is alive.

• Walt and Angie: Walter and Angie Knight are the parents of Ellen, and are best remembered as opportunistic leeches off of Josh's paypigs.
• Chazz Razz: Chazz Razz was an especially infamous troll who would attempt to buddy up with Josh during summer of 2020 before the Cobraverse unearthed his personal life, warts and all.

Ellen

Ellen, a goth woman with black hair and green eyes, was the daughter of Josh's friend Angie. Josh’s relationship with Ellen became a subject of interest among his viewers, starting around early 2019 when Josh began filming videos at Walt and Angie's house. There were speculations regarding Josh's intentions, suggesting he might be attempting to forge a closer relationship with Ellen due to her fitting his aesthetic preference in partners.

Josh would actually hang out with Ellen as early as September of 2018 during The Wandmaker Saga, where he would accidentally have an erection after being hugged by Ellen. It's worth mentioning that even back then, Ellen already had a boyfriend, although Josh claims that Ellen had some level of physical attraction to him.

In October, Josh's short, stocky blacksmith pal Darfliny would start a series of episodic livestreams known as “Live with darfliny”, where he would stream and document various goings-on in his day-to-day life. The most notorious of these is Episode 3 livecast in November, where Darf and Josh hang out. However, lacking in moderation and not preemptively sharing Josh's chat ban list, Josh and Darf are endlessly harangued by trolls, causing Josh to have an autistic meltdown, causing him to angrily consume chips and yell at Darfliny's chat. Darf would delete the stream, presumably at Josh's request.

In late 2019, Josh purchased a Christmas dinner for Ellen's family, funded by his earnings from YouTube AdSense, expressing his satisfaction in being able to support friends during the festive season. This gesture reportedly cost over a thousand dollars. Despite this act, Ellen clarified to Josh that she was involved romantically with another person but valued maintaining a friendship with him. Josh presented an appearance of being content with this platonic arrangement and emphasized the importance of friendship over romantic advances, but it became obvious that this was a coping mechanism for Josh.

The dynamic between Josh and Ellen became particularly contentious when details of their interactions began circulating on social media platforms, chiefly through live streams. Josh faced accusations from his viewer base regarding his feelings towards Ellen, which he denied, asserting that any romantic suggestions were non-existent and strictly platonic intentions governed his actions.

A notable incident involved a contest Josh hosted, where participants could win a signed copy of his album and a wand created by him. The central motivation for this competition was to raise funds for a charity that Ellen supported – the Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary. This event was met with mixed reactions, where some suggested that Josh's involvement was an attempt to win favor with Ellen, while others viewed it as an act of genuine philanthropy.

In early January 2020, discussions around Ellen were partially eclipsed by Josh's efforts to obtain tickets for a Black Veil Brides concert, which was among Ellen's favorite bands. Josh planned to gift these tickets to Ellen for her birthday, discussing his intentions to provide a memorable experience for her. Despite his eagerness to attend the concert with her, Ellen’s relationship status with another individual led to ambiguities about who would accompany her, which Josh accepted without public objection.

Josh and Ellen's working relationship seemingly concluded with the successful fundraising for the Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary, with over $200 collected, fulfilling the target set alongside the contest stipulations. Regardless of Josh's ulterior motives or the intervention of his trolls, the involvement and responses from Josh's viewers played a pivotal role in achieving this goal.

Josh would thank viewers for helping him help Ellen “from the bottom of his gothic heart” by lifting weights and playing guitar in his lime green cock holster while erect. Trolls would capitalize on this by sending this footage to Ellen, which Cobes would respond to by talking about said incident in a hushed tone. Josh claims that Ellen thought it was “A sweet gesture”.

January would also mark the appearance of Josh's Brown La-Z boy, an infamous precursor to The Dead Dog Chair.

In March of 2020, the YouTube Channel Mountain Wizards would travel to Casper to do a documentary on Josh. In this documentary, Josh would spend most of his documentary talking about himself, hocking his bizarre beliefs, and spending exorbitant amounts of money - Josh would be seen on camera spending money on Buffalo Wild Wings, getting his Cradle of Filth Tattoo done, and stomp around Casper while showing off his Goth AF boglim lifestyle. Josh would hint at this “secret project” during a video where he ate at Buffalo Wild Wings in March, before the documentary dropped in April. Apart from showing off Josh's inability to handle finances responsibly, it would include an interview with Josh's close friend Darfliny, who hilariously was wearing a shirt mocking Josh: On said T-shirt was a photo of Damion, the man who Stephanie left Josh for many years ago.

It's March of 2020, and the coronavirus pandemic was in full swing. Unsurprisingly, Josh would spend much of his time indoors(As usual) while casting numerous spells to assist with the ending of the worldwide dry spell. Celebrating his birthday live, Josh would spill his booze, have a retarded spergout, and generally be very mad over his own clumsiness.

Josh would delete this stream and get cranky over his stream getting saved by people like Bitesize Cobra Vids - However, Josh would attempt to take the high road on this matter, claiming it was good for self-reflection. This would not stop him from seething about it during April of the same year.

During a rare Facebook live session in July, Josh reveals he has received a letter from the 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. He proudly reads the letter aloud, wherein he is praised for using his dark magic to defeat ISIS. Shortly after, Josh is informed that the letter is actually a fake and he responds by tearing it up. Immediately afterwards, the trolls convince him that the letter may have been real after all, but the damage had already been done.

On the 21st of July, Josh goes live to let his viewers know that he has been officially banned from the CY Bar, one of his favorite Casper haunts. Although only “two pitchers and one mixed drink” deep, he claims that the bartender rudely and inexplicably cut him off. In response, Josh started to make a scene while sarcastically walking in a straight line to prove to the bar staff that he wasn't drunk. Upon seeing this, the bartender asked him to leave. Josh claims that while he mounted his gothic cruiser outside, the bartender called him an “asshole”.

The announcement provokes several of Josh's online trolls to call the CY Bar to investigate, which only exacerbates matters further. After returning to the bar and getting kicked out once, he decides to call the manager in hopes of rectifying the situation. While on the phone, Josh immediately abandons his original claim that the manager called him an “asshole”. The manager shoots Josh down, sides with his staff, and reaffirms his ban from the premises.

Unsurprisingly, Josh has not been seen at the CY Bar since.

In late summer of 2020, a person named “Chazz” begins to orbit around Josh's chats and social media, sending him money, pizzas, and attempting to get on Josh's good side. Soon after, Josh announces that Chazz works in Hollywood and wants to find him work as a voice actor. The next few weeks feature videos of Josh drinking to celebrate his burgeoning voice acting career, describing his Hollywood future in great detail, as well as effectively burning bridges with any “fan” that expresses doubt over the authenticity of Chazz.

Many individuals in the Cobraverse would begin to question the motives of this curious Californian, and he would quickly become an infamous figure - Boasting a larger-than-life personality, Chazz would post scathing commentary on the KingCobraJFS Subreddit in an attempt to rile fans up and possibly reassure Josh that he wasn't just some particularly sneaky troll.

Chazz would continue to distance Josh from his fans, starting by getting Josh to remove his stream moderators, claiming they were secretly trolls. This would snowball into Chazz gaining full control of Josh's channel, when he privated all of his videos. This would lead to the discovery of several videos made during The Rebirth Saga where Josh and various members of his extended entourage would be seen indulging in cannabis. The attempt to distance Josh from people who might be able to help him would continue, although Chazz would have much difficulty, as attempting to wrangle Josh into a schedule is nigh-impossible.

Less than a month later, the voice acting saga would come to a screeching halt by the hands of none other than longtime troll Jack Klassen. After a failed interview between the two was unearthed, Chazz was found to be a failed comedian, star of numerous irrelevant Los Angeles based podcasts(Including one that seemed to exploit mentally unwell individuals) and perhaps most notably, boyfriend to an amateur porn star girlfriend. Rather than admit he was wrong, Josh instead claims he “walked away” from his business arrangement with Chazz.

Although it is not the most popular of sagas, The Ellen Saga marks the end of an era - This would be Josh's last saga that took place at 615 South Center street, and would be some of the last footage of Alex Anderson, Scrapper Steve, and many other forms of content in the Cobraverse. With every ending comes a beginning, however - The beginning of The Eviction Saga, and eventually, The Conquistador Age.
