Jdrokko5

Mr. Long (known online as jdrokko5) is an American music composer, Geometry Dash player, speedrunner, game developer and programmer. He has occasionally helped Ethan Dahlberg by composing the music for his games and even by developing two major updates for his Unity game Exploration Playground, that being Update 0.9 Revival and Update 1.2 Optimizations. He has also created his own games such as The World's Most Possible Game and HostGame. Some of his notable achievements include beating Bloodlust, an extremely and devilishly challenging level in the game Geometry Dash, having multiple world records in the Shift series, and while also being a part of the furry fandom for 7 years.
==Biography==
===Early life===
In 2010, Mr. Long was introduced to the piano and started having a growing interest in music composition.
In 2011, Mr. Long was given a 1st-generation Kindle Fire, his first piece of tech.
In 2012, Mr. Long was given an iPad mini as an upgrade to his previous Kindle Fire tablet. Later on Christmas of 2012, he had gotten his first computer, which was a Toshiba laptop. It gave him his first experience of the Internet.
In 2013, he started exploring the realm of Adobe Flash games and found the Shift series. He would later decide to speedrun SHIFT and attempt to get a world record in every game in the series. He currently holds several world records in SHIFT 1 and 4 as of August 2024.
In 2014, his Toshiba laptop broke by him gently slamming it with his fist, after getting brutally trolled by someone in an unknown tycoon from ROBLOX. He was later given a full-blown desktop PC the next year. On July 26, 2021, after getting angry at its very poor performance, Mr. Long purposefully destroyed the HDD in this desktop computer as a way to convince his parent to let him build a new one. He completed the build of this new PC a little over a week later on August 6.
===Finding the game Geometry Dash===
In early 2015, Mr. Long found the game Geometry Dash and started playing it everyday. His planned goal was to beat the 18 (at the time) main levels, but after it took over a month to beat Time Machine, he took a short break from the game and came back in mid 2015. At this point he gave up attempting to complete all main levels and instead opted to play online levels by the community. 
A few months had passed and a legendary new Top 1 level was in the works that would later be known as Bloodbath, set to be verified by Riot. Ever since its verification and release on August 12, 2015, Mr. Long always wanted to beat it as his very last major achievement in the game.
The next year, 2016, would see the beginning of his hacking phase. He would noclip popular levels (albeit unsuccessfully) and attempt to make it seem legit. Mr. Long never uploaded any of his noclipped completions to YouTube and to this day it is still unknown why he chose not to. At this point, the community quickly realized he was a hacker and started disliking all of his posts across most of his social media profiles, and would also often send hateful messages to him. This deteriorated Mr. Long's mental health a lot, until he was forced to quit the PC version of the game for an unforeseen amount of time. He didn't completely leave however, as he still played the Lite version from time to time due to it not having access to online components of the game.
Mr. Long finally came back to the PC version in mid 2017. His return also came with him no longer hacking levels after hearing some suggestions from the community. 1.5 years later saw his completion of Clubstep, which would be his hardest for over 2 years.
Mr. Long would continue to play Geometry Dash until mid 2019, where he announced his departure to the game due to him finding Geometry Dash really boring and its community very toxic. Mr. Long wanted to move on from this part of his life and said he wouldn't be coming back any time soon as he wanted to focus more on music composition, something he hadn't done since early 2018.
===The First Musical era===
Mr. Long began writing down his compositions and transcriptions on May 7, 2016 at the age of 8 on the website Flat.io. He began with a piece titled "J---s 1st Song", which was comprising of an entirely unintelligible mess of notes and rhythms. He would produce a total of exactly 599 scores on Flat.io throughout the years up until August 8, 2019. Notable compositions from this period include: "The J--- Song" (from November 21, 2016), "J--- song 3" (from April 22, 2017), "Dual Kicks" (from December 29, 2017), "Great song" (from January 1, 2018), "Hungarian Campanella No. La" (July 12, 2018), "Vonic Inc. Theme Song" (October 2, 2018) and lastly "Galaxy Division Theme" (August 5, 2019). His final 599th score was "Écossaise in B Major", and after composing this game-like tune he officially moved over to MuseScore, although he still kept his subscription to Flat.io for unknown reasons.
"Alon Fivic Sekin" was a nickname sometimes used by Mr. Long for his music. On March 31, 2022, he officially discontinued use of this name to deter further confusion with it in the future. However, the nickname still appeared on his MuseScore publications. This was fixed on April 9 along with him also changing mostly every mention of "Mr. Long" to his actual name. 
Finally, on July 31, 2022, Mr. Long decided to cancel his 6-year-long subscription to Flat.io. Before going ahead with this completely, he looked into it a bit and realized that doing this would invalidate access to almost all of his scores. After this realization, he went with the extremely boring and monotonous task of manually archiving all his 599 scores. He completed this archiving process on August 7, only 1 day before his monthly subscription would get a renewal. Mr. Long then cancelled his subscription and said goodbye to Flat.io forever. 
===Joining Discord===
Mr. Long joined Discord on May 4, 2017 after watching an 8-Bit Ninja live stream,HELLO NEIGHBOR ALPHA 4 UNCOVERING ALL SECRETS!! (Hello Neighbor Secrets! / Hello Neighbor Alpha 4) – @The8BitNinja on YouTube, May 4, 2017 but it wouldn't be until November 26, 2019 where he would start to use it more often for easily talking with his new friend Jazzdro. Entering into 2020, he began to use the platform as a way to troll random members from the NameMC discord server with his Swiss "Jay D. Rocco V" persona. Later on March 22, he had met 2 people while playing The Bridge in Hypixel, and frequently had 8-hour-long voice call sessions with them for the following few days. However, after severely falling out with them just a month later, he temporarily cancelled utilization of this persona until further notice. Two months following that, he decided to make a second Discord account on June 14, 2020 with the username "mskuser" (roughly translates to MuseScore 11-year-old User) and a profile picture of the MuseScore 2 logo.MuseScore 2 Icon Square 2048x2048 on MuseScore.org
====Advent of SparkleToes====
On July 15, 2020, he noticed that the YouTuber OSFirstTimer was starting a premiere and decided to join it early.Diana Games Through Time #7 - King's Quest (1984) – @OsFirstTimer on YouTube, July 16, 2020 Through its live chat, he met Connor and Ethan, in which Ethan suggested to join his Discord server Unofficial OSFirstTimer Server. Mr. Long was initially pretty hesitant on joining his server. He didn't want to say no to him, so as an excuse he said there was a glitch in the systems that didn't allow him to join, and to Mr. Long's surprise they believed it. However after some time they got really suspicious and almost left him completely. After this, Mr. Long stopped and started thinking of ways he could join Ethan's server without being made fun of, as he thought his username and profile picture would do just that. This swayed Mr. Long to change his username to the first two words that came to his mind, those two words being "Sparkle" and "Toes", and to change his profile picture to a random image found in his Pictures folder. Thus he promptly joined the server after changing his username to "SparkleToes" and his profile picture to a screenshot from a SpongeBob video-game. 
He was always afraid of what people might think of him, so he frequently acted stupid and pretended it was just a bot that he programmed to be controlled on his account. One of the popular phrases coming from this supposed bot is the repeated use of "Egg Salad". He continued to purposefully be extremely unpredictable, until October 20, 2020, where it was found that Connor, Mark and later Overgreen had betrayed him. This immediately shifted his online personality, for better or worse, to something more normal and expected. Mr. Long never forgave them for this. Ever since this happened it has been a popular talking point for the group, with Mr. Long even composing an entire musical piece based on how he felt that day, appropriately named "October 20".
====Obligatory Furry Segment====
Around this time saw the beginning of Mr. Long's friends joking about him being a furry. This joke would last for a considerable amount of time due to Mr. Long frequently promoting its usage. It eventually faded into obscurity, but by the time it did, Mr. Long had already announced that he has been a furry since he was 9-years-old. However, at the time of the joke's origin, if someone asked him if he was genuinely a furry or not, he usually wouldn't respond and would completely ignore the existence of the question as he was too embarrassed to speak the real answer. This was exactly the case up until July 2, 2021, where Ethan exposed him for lying about this, and Mr. Long's response was to actually answer those questions he had been getting by replying with "Maybe" for every time it was asked. This all completely changed on December 23, when Mr. Long finally announced the truth that he was in fact a furry, to many this wasn't much of a surprise but to some this entirely altered their views of Mr. Long. A day later Mr. Long would decide to create a second fursona named "Shift" that would replace his first one, as he thought "Shadozer", which he originally made in 2017, was too unoriginal and overused. On March 10, 2023, Mr. Long formally renamed "Shift" to "Shiftie" after wanting something more unique. As of August 2024, he has yet to officially release Shiftie to the online outside of friend groups. He initially planned on creating another account based on this new fursona once he got art of it, but later turned down the idea until he could properly draw it himself.
====The Confession====
On December 30, 2021, Mr. Long made it public that he didn't want to be known as Henry anymore, thus changing his name to Mr. Long, and he even said he didn't want his country origin and date of birth to be known either. Then on January 2, 2022, as a replication of what happened last year, Mr. Long announced he was going to take a break from Discord for 8 days because of mental health, which he said was mostly due to certain members of the UnderscoreSquad.
Later on January 6, 2022, Mr. Long admitted that the Henry name was a complete fabrication and that was never his real name, after this he revealed the full name of the lie, being Henry Bromander Wilson. However he has said that his last name is indeed Long, making Mr. Long his true name. A day later he also admitted to yet another lie, that being his country origin. For years it was thought that Mr. Long was from Canada, but this was just yet another fabrication. Like with the name, he revealed the actual location of the lie, being the city of Bromont in Québec, Canada. He was never Canadian, in fact, he said the reason he lied about this was because he really wanted to be Canadian. Mr. Long then revealed he's actually from the United States. Lastly on January 14, Mr. Long called out another lie, this time being his age. For the most part, it was always assumed Mr. Long was around 1 year older than he actually was. He used this, along with considerable mentions of how he looked in real life, to lie and make it official that he was 15, which yet again was actually 1 year older than his real age of 14 (at the time). He explained he had been wanting to be rid of this lie for countless months, and only admitted to it now when he realized the dire consequences that may arise if he waited a few more years.
===Naming Crisis===
====All-new Elkraps!====
On January 11, 2021, after being absent for 9 days due to sickness, Mr. Long came back to an incredible return by changing his username to "Elkraps". He did this as he realized just how stupid the name "SparkleToes" was in his break. The idea for the username "Elkraps" came about in November 2020 when he and many others were messing around with Discord Mega Bot, a now mostly unkept discord bot programmed by Connor. One of the bot commands in question flipped text backwards while the other scrambled it. Out of many of the outcomes, a notable one was "ElkrapsSeot", which was just "Sparkle" and "Toes" backwards in that order. Mr. Long saw this as a pretty good name replacement for "SparkleToes", and did just that 2 months later to critical success. The people of The Pogness (a precursor group chat to the UnderscoreSquad server) enjoyed the new name change as much as Mr. Long himself did.
====The Surprise of ElkSponge!====
6 months later, to a sudden surprise to everyone, Mr. Long changed his username for the third time on June 11, 2021 and this time to "ElkSponge". His reasoning explained that "Elkraps" had the same problem that "SparkleToes" did, it was just a downright terrible name. And what perfect timing this was as it was just about when people started abbreviating his username to only "Elk". After knowing this Mr. Long actually quite liked the nickname, so to make it official he cut off the "raps" from his old name and added "Sponge" at the end of it. He added the "Sponge" because at the time many of his friends personified him as SpongeBob due to his profile picture being a screenshot from the 2003 video-game SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle to Bikini Bottom.
====Shifting the ElkJD!====
He has up to this point always renamed himself without announcing it, but this would soon all differ as on November 30, 2021, Mr. Long asked the people of UnderscoreSquad what he should alter his name to and said whatever name he liked the most, he would change to it on January 10, 2022, the date being a reference to when he changed his name to "Elkraps" a year prior. No one ended up giving him any suggestions, so a day later Mr. Long made a joke about the whole naming crisis and said if he should extend his username to "ElkSpongeFurryHuman", unsurprisingly everyone told him not to. Afterwards he asked if he should change his name to "ElkJD". Most people agreed with it, however there were still some doubters. He then explained what the "JD" meant in the first place, saying that it was referring to someone with the username of "jdrocco5". "jdrocco5" being another persona of The HOST which was steadily declining in use as "Henry Bromander Wilson" slowly became The HOST's main character. Later on December 22, Mr. Long announced he was not only going to change his username on January 10, 2022 but also his profile picture and banner. The profile picture and banner would be original art made by Ángel.
====One Last Time with jdrokko5!====
On March 9, 2022, Mr. Long made a small announcement displaying contempt for the "ElkJD" username, saying that he would perhaps change it to "jdrocco5". His reason was without question, in that he found although he tried to make it clear the now abandoned personas of "Henry Bromander Wilson" and "Jay D. Rocco V" were controlled by the same person, the problem still persisted and some people continued to think they were two separate entities. He also just didn't like the username in general. However the replacement name of "jdrocco5" was in heavy doubt, as it would force him to rename the current "jdrocco5" accounts to something else. Luckily he decided to give a deadline for all of this, June 11, 2022, exactly 1 year after he changed his username to "ElkSponge". He yet again asked for suggestions from not only the UnderscoreSquad, but also from some of his new friends, notably Jesse.@JesseGamingYT on YouTube@JesseGamingGD on YouTube Unlike last time, there were some ideas given out to him. Mark suggested "jdrocco6", and initially Mr. Long was quite fond of it, and did insist that the new username had to correlate better with "jdrocco5" than with what "ElkJD" ever accomplished. However he soon grew a distaste for "jdrocco6", but as he couldn't think of any other name choices, he stuck with it for the meanwhile. Later on April 2, the question came up again. He firstly reminded the people of "jdrocco6", to which they were quick to not appreciate it. This further motivated Mr. Long to think of better ideas. 2 days later, he came up with two more, "jdrocco12" and "jdrocko5". "jdrocco12" was referencing the fact that the 5 in the original username meant how old he was when he came up with it, so it would make sense for this to include a 12 as Mr. Long was 12-years-old when he came up with the "Henry Bromander Wilson" persona. "jdrocko5" was a simple one letter replacement, created to deter some confusion with how the username is pronounced. A few hours went by and Mr. Long came up with one final username idea, "jdrokko5". The name became an immediate success and was used as the final choice. Then on June 4, Mr. Long decided that he was also going to update his profile picture and banner again. Like last time, the profile picture and banner would be original art made by Ángel. This is the current username he uses as of August 2024.
===Returning to Geometry Dash===
On January 18, 2021, Mr. Long came back to Geometry Dash after a 2 year hiatus and notably beat Clutterfunk and Electrodynamix the next day. However, it wasn't until January 26 where he would start playing the game more seriously as he got more and more hyped for the release of Update 2.2. On February 1, he beat Hexagon Force, Blast Processing, Theory of Everything, xStep and Geometrical Dominator in that exact order. 2 days later he beat Problematic as his very first demon since his break.
====A Resurgence====
After Problematic he started searching for another demon level to conquer, but could not find one he enjoyed. Later he opened the Weekly Demon and thought it could possibly be his next hardest, then to realize the level that showed up was one he tried years to beat previously. It was OuT oF nAmE iDeAs, the level he could seemingly never defeat.OuT oF nAmE iDeAs on Geometry Dash, April 15, 2020 (23:15:01 UTC) He ended up deciding with OuT oF nAmE iDeAs, to see if it was really as hard as he remembered. Eventually, following several mental breakdowns, he beat OuT oF nAmE iDeAs on March 14, 2021. He also beat demon park, Platinum Adventure, Xstep v2 and yStep the day before. Although he technically completed twinkling world as his first Medium Demon 6 days prior, he still considers OuT oF nAmE iDeAs his true first as in his opinion twinkling world doesn't even deserve a demon rating.
Following OuT oF nAmE iDeAs he went on to beat DeCode on March 14, idk dummy on March 15 and OFFline on March 25. Afterwards he stopped playing Geometry Dash seriously and even considered quitting as in his mind he finished everything he ever wanted to do in the game. However, he returned in mid April after discovering the insane powers of FPS Bypass, brought to him by the new found use of Absolllute's Mega Hack v5.
====Gaining Momentum====
With FPS Bypass now in his disposal, Mr. Long wondered if he could potentially become famous by beating Cataclysm as a jump from OuT oF nAmE iDeAs. As well as Cataclysm he also tried Supersonic but failed in getting anywhere with both levels. He then felt a bit lost, until he soon remembered that before his short break a month prior, he created a list of levels and the amount of attempts they took to beat in Practice Mode. This list would come to be very useful for Mr. Long and would help as a guidance on what levels to play in what order. After playing a bunch of Hard Demons trying to find the one that took him the least amount of attempts, it turned out the supposed easiest was Forsaken Neon. With this realization in place he started work on completing Forsaken Neon as his next demon on April 28, and shortly beat it the day after with only 2,729 attempts,"Forsaken Neon 100% by Zobros and TriAxis (Geometry Dash)" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, April 30, 2021 an impressive feat considering the 4,721 attempts that it took him to do OuT oF nAmE iDeAs.
As Forsaken Neon had just been defeated, Mr. Long was yet again considering quitting for the same reason he had before. A week or so later he got back into speedrunning after 3 years with his favourite Flash game series Shift, which would further motivate him not to play Geometry Dash any longer. But as with last time it would seem he wouldn't hold this thought for very long.
====Quick Succession on a Windy Day====
After getting multiple world records in SHIFT 3"(WR) SHIFT 3 – Good Ending Speedrun in 3:36.9" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, June 7, 2021"SHIFT 3 – Bad Ending Speedrun in 3:57.8" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, June 7, 2021 and almost achieving one in SHIFT,"SHIFT – Beat the Game Speedrun in 3:00.2" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, June 17, 2021 Mr. Long was very satisfied with what he accomplished in these games. With this he came back to Geometry Dash on June 19 where he would begin to attempt his next major completion, Windy Landscape. On the first day he would play the level for 7 hours straight and get a run of 28-100%."Windy Landscape – Progress: 28-100% (Geometry Dash)" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, June 19, 2021 With the next day he would start to play the level in Normal Mode, getting a record of 95% after over 10 hours of grinding. Then on June 21, with only 18 hours of play time, he beat Windy Landscape as his first Insane Demon and also his first demon since conquering Forsaken Neon."Windy Landscape 100% by WOOGI1411 (Geometry Dash)" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, June 21, 2021 He later began to realize the fact that he only played a certain difficulty of demons after beating his first demon of a higher difficulty than it, which prompted him to complete Classical on June 24,"The WORST Nine Circles level. // Classical 100% by Hakkou (Geometry Dash)" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, June 24, 2021 Jawbreaker on June 25"The BEST Nine Circles level! // Jawbreaker 100% by ZenthicAlpha (Geometry Dash)" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, June 25, 2021 and Nine Circles on June 30."Nine Circles 100% by Zobros (Geometry Dash)" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, July 1, 2021
With Windy Landscape now completed, Mr. Long went back to speedrunning and would get every world record in SHIFT 3,"SHIFT 3 – All Achievements Speedrun in 15:26.933" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, July 6, 2021 while also beating the 2-year-standing world record present in SHIFT."(Flash WR) SHIFT – Speedrun in 2:58.9" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, July 4, 2021 2 days later on July 6, he would decide his next fate in Geometry Dash, his first Extreme Demon. He had two choices, defeat Acu as most people would, or conquer Bloodbath and become notable for doing it. He would try Bloodbath a little on July 10 and would start thoroughly practicing the level 6 days later. He began attempting and eventually practicing Acu on July 18. He would play both levels fiercely until July 21, where the choice would haunt him to the point where it ultimately forced him into doing Bloodbath.
====The Haunting of Bloodbath====
With the choice now in place, he would begin to play Bloodbath intensively for the coming days. This started his slow descent into absolute insanity, which including the severe lag he was getting, eventually got him to destroy his computer on July 26. After this he could no longer play the level and was worried about the possibility of losing a lot of consistency from this. He would finally get a new PC on August 6, the performance of which being over a thousand times better than his old computer, making him question if this was actually a good decision after all. When attempting 42-100% previously, he could not get it in the span of multiple days, but after the new PC he would achieve the run on August 8 after less than an hour of trying, causing him to be extremely motivated to play the level."Bloodbath 42-100%" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, August 8, 2021 He would get 44% twice on August 10 after having his best be 41% for over 2 weeks,"Bloodbath 44% x2" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, August 10, 2021 and would get 61% the day after."Bloodbath 61%" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, August 11, 2021 On August 12, he would accidentally do a run of 33-100% without recording, which almost made him drop the level entirely. Luckily however he would get 33-100% again on August 21."Bloodbath 33-100%" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, August 21, 2021 4 days later, he would get to Etzer for the very first time and even a second time only half an hour later."Bloodbath 79%" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, August 25, 2021 After a sudden failure on August 29, he would on the next day unexpectedly get 89% in less than 10 minutes of playing the level,"Bloodbath 89%" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, August 30, 2021 but wouldn't get anything else notable afterwards. 3 days later, after getting 74%, 79% a few times, 89% twice and even 92%, it was seeming that this day was the day he would finally finish the level. Unfortunately for him he would die to the very last input in the level and get a record of 99%, making him almost drop the level yet again. But only 40 attempts later and 2 total months of playing this level, he would finally complete Bloodbath on September 2 and cement himself as a genuinely fantastic Geometry Dash player."MY FIRST EXTREME! // Bloodbath 100% by Riot and more | 60hz, 360fps (Geometry Dash)" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, September 3, 2021
====A New Horizon====
After beating Bloodbath, he took a 1 month break from Geometry Dash and mainly focused on working on what would be his very first editing project, Bloodbath Rewind."Bloodbath Rewind (Geometry Dash)" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, October 3, 2021 Two and a half weeks of editing later, it was finished. He originally intended on Bloodbath being his last major accomplishment in the game, but after completing Bloodbath Rewind, he revisited the level and found it to be much easier than he remembered. After this realization, he looked for levels that were harder than Bloodbath and ended up with choosing to beat Phobos, Sakupen Hell and Blade of Justice in that exact order.
To improve his editing skills, Mr. Long had the idea of re-beating all of his first demon sub-difficulty levels (Problematic"Easiest Nine Circles demon? // Problematic 100% by Dhafin (Geometry Dash)" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, October 9, 2021, OuT oF nAmE iDeAs"OuT oF nAmE iDeAs 100% by spark (Geometry Dash)" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, October 10, 2021, Forsaken Neon"Rebeating my FIRST Hard Demon! // Forsaken Neon by Zobros and TriAxis (Geometry Dash)" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, October 30, 2021 and Windy Landscape"This Insane Demon used to be MY FAVOURITE until... // Windy Landscape by WOOGI1411 (Geometry Dash)" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, November 2, 2021). He finished this goal on October 30, 2021. 
Afterwards, Mr. Long took another small break and came back on November 6, where he started the goal of beating every level on the Shitty List. This goal however was soon scrapped as he went back to finding a level harder than Bloodbath to beat. He chose not to do Sakupen Hell due to having atrocious gameplay, and chose not to do Phobos or Blade of Justice because he felt it wasn't hard enough for him. He wanted a challenge, something that would take months to complete, so he then decided on either Yatagarasu or Sonic Wave. But like with the other levels, he ultimately didn't go through with this plan, stating that Yatagarasu was still too easy and that Sonic Wave was one of the worst levels he had ever played. After this decision, he attempted to find the hardest level on The Demon List that he could see himself doing, and ended up with either Bloodlust, The Golden or Trueffet. He chose Bloodlust as it was a remake and buff of Bloodbath, his hardest at the time.
====The Final Lust for Blood====
Mr. Long began playing Bloodlust in early November, but didn't officially consider the choice until November 14, where he would attempt to achieve 67-100%. He would initially after some hours get 67-87%. On the next day, he would try again and eventually succeed in doing 67-100% for the very first time, taking him roughly 29,764 total attempts."Hardest thing I have ever done. | Bloodlust 67-100% (Geometry Dash)" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, November 16, 2021 Following that, his next goal was to have the level in 4 runs, and on November 16 he would do just that achieving 31%, 25-43% and 42-70% all in the same day."Bloodlust in 4 runs! | 0-31%, 25-43%, 42-70% and 67-100% (Geometry Dash)" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, November 16, 2021 Afterwards he would furiously play the level mostly everyday until November 26, where he accidentally got 36% while in Practice Mode,"ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" – jdrokko5 on Discord, November 29, 2021 (02:01 to 02:29 UTC) meaning it wasn't recorded. He then took a break for a while, also connecting this with the Bloodbath 33-100% incident that had happened earlier. He came back shortly in early December to do 48-100%, which he succeeded in on December 6 after 46,897 total attempts."48-100%... | Bloodlust Progress #4 (Geometry Dash)" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, December 6, 2021 Following yet another break, on December 14, he set his goal of doing 30-100%, saying that until this run was done, he would not be able to ever beat Bloodlust. After doing 30-76% he realized this run was much harder than he anticipated,"Bloodlust 30-76%" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, December 15, 2021 making him take his third break from the level. After Mr. Long announced a small break from Discord on January 2, he felt this would be the best opportunity to grind out the level for a bit, and so throughout early January he would fiercely play the level and would end up getting 30-82% on January 7"Bloodlust 30-82%" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, January 7, 2022 and later 57% on January 10,"LIST PERCENT! | Bloodlust Progress #7 (Geometry Dash)" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, January 10, 2022 following two 41% deaths"I am literally the worst GD player ever | Bloodlust Progress #5 (Geometry Dash)" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, January 5, 2022"You cannot be serious... | Bloodlust Progress #5 x2 (Geometry Dash)" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, January 8, 2022 and a 45% death"Finally something good! | Bloodlust Progress #6 (Geometry Dash)" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, January 9, 2022 that happened earlier. As the 57% was out of nowhere, Mr. Long was in shock and quickly marched over to Discord and cancelled the break that was supposed to end the next day, to talk with his friends about the 57%. This caused the grind to come to a halt, and it wouldn't be until January 30 where he would come back to finally achieve 30-100%. On January 31 would see 30-86%,"Bloodlust 30-86%" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, January 31, 2022 an unfortunate death, but one that certainly confirmed the possibility of this run. Following that was a devastating 30-98% fail that almost got him to completely drop the level,"Bloodlust 30-98%" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, February 1, 2022 but after some careful reconsideration, and insane amounts of determination, he would finally do 30-100% on February 3 after 74,861 total attempts."This Is Harder Than Artificial Ascent | Bloodlust Progress #8 (Geometry Dash)" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, February 4, 2022 He then realized that he may reach over 100,000 attempts before the level is completed, and frequently joked about it to his friends. After an abysmal failure on February 8, two days later while in a call with Mark, he would get to the extension from 0 for the very first time achieving 71%."EXTENSION FROM 0 | Bloodlust Progress #9 (Geometry Dash)" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, February 10, 2022 To him this was exciting, but at the same time he worried that he may be stuck at the extension for ages. And for the most part, he would be correct. Due to this, he took his fourth break on February 23 and would return on March 1 to finish what he had started 4 months prior. On the same day, he was able to reach the extension for the second time and achieve 70%. Later on March 3, he would get 75%, which to him marked that the end was inching ever closer, causing him to be extremely motivated to play the level."ALMOST THERE... | Bloodlust Progress #10 (Geometry Dash)" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, March 3, 2022 Later on March 8, he got to the extension for the fifth time. He would get past Manix648's part for the first time, and tensions started to rise. However, instead of dying to Xaro or Terron, the attempt just continued to go on, even through most of TMNGaming's part, a famous section known for killing almost every player that crossed it. However to him, the idea of this being it, and that after intense struggle throughout the entire experience, that all of it was about to come to a close, led him to unfortunately die to the very last straight fly at 98%."MY WORST FAIL... | Bloodlust Progress #11 (Geometry Dash)" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, March 8, 2022 He couldn't believe it, the moment that was just about to end, had only extended itself even further, or so he thought. He wasn't too angry about this fail however, seeing it as more evidence that he would beat the level very soon. And he could not be more right, as on March 10, after over 4 months and 91,518 attempts, he finally beat Bloodlust, marking the end of this long journey, and also to everybody just how underrated and incredible he was at the game."MY SECOND EXTREME!! // Bloodlust 100% by Manix648 and more | 165hz, 360fps (Geometry Dash)" – @jdrokko5 on YouTube, March 10, 2022
