Duckice
The person that introduced me to osu! and of which I competed with a ton back in 2019 and 2020. He has been there throughout my time growing up with this game, has witnessed every milestone that I have achieved, and was the one I strived to overtake one day (which i did KEKW). Thanks for being here since the beginning!

Armadayeet
The person that I mainly competed with back in 2022 and 2023. He was a friend that indirectly got me to suddenly pop off and gain the scores that I currently have today, and also was a funny Valorant duo. Thanks for sticking with me!

milk tea (also known as Milk Tee)
The person that got me to map more and also a great friend in general since 2022. Also the person to recommend Dandelion to me which got me my first 600pp score. Thank you for giving me your feedback, although minimal, on my maps and being a funny person overall!

alongside aiming with a mouse, i tap in two different ways which are:
middle index (<230bpm streams/8 note bursts up to 270bpm)
ring index (>230bpm streams/when i run out of stamina with middle index)
usually the speeds may fluctuate due to rustiness or the activation of my brain somewhere
i can change between these two while playing
