When I first got into realism I started to learn backflips and someone popped by to mention the Tricking Dojo. I ended up joining the server later on, and was so shocked by the existence of everything I actually had to take a momentary pause to just absorb the fact that the server was real. Unlike the min-maxxing style of tricking I always read about, Jagger purely showed me that what I wanted to do was entirely possible with literal examples of someone who pursued it themselves. Dealing with ADHD and learning realism has been quite the struggle, because everything feels so in-front of me and all at the same difficulty level.
Jagger would share replays, gif/video examples, exchange TB tricking with IRL tricking information, and always push me forward, telling me when I'm doing something wrong and pointing me towards moves or techniques that would suit my style of gameplay. From all of the great people I met from the Aqours clan, close friends of Jagger, and those whom exist from different planes of priorities in realism, I was able to experience many different ways he's been perceived by the community. The experience I have been given will not only allow me to ascend further into my pursuits of realism gameplay, but help me encourage others to pursue what I initially thought was impossible.
One does not need to take off the blindfold to know what goes on around them, yet some are blinder with it off. Jagger showed me the way.
Never Give Up.
Congratz y'all. I'm surprised it took so long for Oracle to get here, but better late than never.
