#jelex

First of all; I noticed a glaring lack of Jelex during his newest video. This guy has helped him through basically everything, has been his greatest ally, but as soon as Stormz is told that Jelex can't be the one to help him... gone.

Erased.

He isn't mentioned again. He isn't particularly- cared about. And yes, there's no need to mention your friends all the time. But like- not even checking in on 'hey what happened to my so-called best friend'? Not a single mention.

I'm inclined to believe that this is because well, Jelex isn't useful currently. Stormz isn't allowed to get help from- anyone, especially not Jelex.

BUT IGNORING THE THIRD VIDEO. Even in the first two videos- Stormz only thinks of his friend Jelex when he needs help. No mention before. Characters are introduced as he NEEDS them, and Jelex is no exception. When Stormz (against Jelex's wishes) started investigating more into Soria & The Syndicate, his reasons for looking for Jelex weren't to make sure he was fine, it was to solve this mystery. This puzzle that could lead to more power for HIM. So he could figure out these secrets for HIMSELF. DESPITE knowing that these secrets would put Jelex in danger... He still went for it.

And then, when I thought about it, what truly convinced me was, well Dumb.

Dumbisdumb. Someone Stormz knew from 'outside the server'. Someone Stormz didn't hesitate to start dropping for 'no reason' (in Dumb's eyes at least) but then, immediately forgot about again.

No thoughts about him. Nothing. Not until he was shoved in-front of Stormz' face in his third Abyss vid, on a Wanted poster. Even then, Dumb was never mentioned again outside of that... until later, when Stormz was trying to complete the third task.

And that- well that's when Dumb really became important. One, when Stormz found out Dumb had a MACE (powerful, useful, dangerous) and was also someone he could use on his side. That's when he had more of an 'hey this guy exists actually yo he's my best friend now'.

AND. In Dumb's newest video... well... you see, there's something really interesting I saw. See, Stormz and Dumb's first interaction that WE really saw was when Stormz fucking JUMPED him. Dumb would remember that, right? It really hasn't been that long. But in Stormz video- nothing. Seems like they both just... forgot-?

Yeah see, nope. That's not how it goes. Dumb remembered, and he confronted Stormz about that. But Stormz conveniently cut that part out of his video. Why?

Well, it's because the version he told Dumb, the reason he jumped him, is different from what he told US, the viewers.

Stormz tells Dumb that he didn't realize Dumb wasn't invis guy/Sanz until after he started jumping Dumb. But that's wrong. In his own video, he tells us that he knew from the START that Dumb wasn't Sanz. So why lie? Which one is the lie? Did he know from the start? Or did he not? WHY HIDE THE FACT THAT HE LIED?

I also don't think he ever really gave... reasoning to jumping Dumb? After all if you already 'knew' that Dumb wasn't Sanz, why jump him to prove it? I always found this interestingly confusing. I might be reaching but- really? Stormz SAYS he doesn't 'want' to jump Dumb, but that he 'has no choice'. WHY? WHY DOES HE NOT HAVE A CHOICE? So either Stormz is lying to Dumb... or he's lying to us.

Is he trying to convince Dumb and his viewers that he's a good person, that he cares, or is he trying to convince us, his own viewers, of something (he's smart? he's powerful? he... doesn't show weakness?)?

It's interesting.

And... Sanz... well after he mentioned the whole 'I'm starting to like him...' (right when it was tactically smart for him and a good idea btw) he stuck to that for a while, and then forgot about Sanz again. He certainly didn't hesitate to fight Sanz at the end, did he?

I think, above all, Stormz is trying to convince everyone that he's a good person. That he's being PUSHED to do this. That he cares about his friends and he's overall a nice guy and and and-

Stormz doesn't really care about any of them, until it's useful. Until they can be an important player on HIS side. Moment Jelex betrayed? Oh well. Time to attack. Oh, Dumb is wanted AND has a cool mace? 'kay we're finding him again later and 'catching up with him'. Sanz can't be his useful 'ally' anymore? Welp o7 bye I guess.

And finally, Squid. Who I haven't mentioned yet. Squid, who is only mentioned by how his disappearance impacted STORMZ and his mace. Squid to Stormz is made up entirely of his connection to Stormz, and his mace. That is all we learn about him.

And y'know something? If it was Stormz' idea all along to take down the Syndicate (or whatever it's called I'm too lazy to check rn) than why did he 'grow close' to Sanz? Why isn't his 'true mission' mentioned at least ONCE to us? And how come, at the end, when one of his reasons for working with Tusu is learning about what happened to Squid, he NEVER MENTIONS IT?

Stormz is a liar. Maybe he's even lying to himself. Because looking at what I've noticed through all the videos- he doesn't care about his friends as much as he wants you, and everyone else to think. He cares about power. About himself, above all.
