the white hole silver 4

this is by far my proudest achievement in celeste. i am not a goldener, i suck so much at goldens, my previous hardest golden was 7b and i am super bad at being consistent, so this was a huge personal challenge for me.

for some context, i started grinding this sort of as a joke after i got twh moonberry. i grinded it for a week or 2 and gave up, but i'd still do some casual lowdeath runs every now and then. throughout this time i got a lot of runs to 88, but they all died to it. i decided to properly pick this back up on the 7th of may, and on the 8th i got my first run past 88. breaking through that barrier gave me so much motivation to actually try and beat this, and on the 10th i got this run; my 4th run past 88 and my 1st run to make it past 92, fluking 93-end. part of me regrets doing the 98 cheese, its super lame, but i couldn't bring myself to risk choking so close to the end.

additionally, i decided it was time to redeem myself for cheesing the moonberry with a fully legit, cheeseless clear of that too.

twh is one of my favourite maps of all time, and is the map that made me fall in love with theo gameplay as much as i have, so thank you to Zheo and everyone else who worked on this map for creating this masterpiece.
