So I thought I had a bad starter but it seems it is something else. Put a new one in and it ran for the night and then wouldn't start. Took it back out and to AutoZone, and they tested it and it's fine. Put new starter relay in, still nothing.

New battery, new alternator, everything is charged and gets full power. I'm lost.

Grounds, power wire to the starter, battery terminal connectors. How are all of those? Corrosion could be your problem, especially living in an area that uses salt on the road.

Grounds are.... OK? not really sure how to actually check them besides by eye.

Power wire to starter, from battery, I bought a new connector with dual leads from the terminal, one for the starter and one for the actually harness 12V.

Terminal, see above, new.

And corrosion is a possibility, but where exactly?

Is there a way to bypass all wiring from the key to the actual starter?
