Wanted to map something for my birthday, if I feel like it i'll add some more diffs later.

08.01.26 added more diffs
09.01.26 scug mods
10.01.26 laurafield mods and i converted 2 sliders

happy birthday! (again)

Thank you! (again)

hiiii

im only gonna mod 2 diffs because im tired

General
no preview point, add one now before the flock comes!!!
background quality is too low (390 x 260)

Normal

try to not deviate from distance snap when it comes to easier diffs like normals, it makes it harder for new players to read your map.

00:02:296 (4) - i would personally move this 2 beats back to follow the vocals
00:10:887 (3) - move this 1 tick back for the same reason
00:30:114 (5) - would extend this by 1 tick to follow the vocals

Cheesecake
00:00:114 (1,2,3) - pls center this
00:09:660 (1,2,3) - move this down a little so there's no ugly overlap with the 9, 10, and 11
00:27:387 (1) - probs change this slider to be safe this is a little hard to read

cute :3

whoops!

minimum width is 160 and minimum height is 120, I thought this is ok?

i did not deactivate distance snap a singular time, it would be nice to hear which parts exactly arent snapped with distance snap? because i really cant find them. (fair though, mhm)

i had this originally on the blue tick because of the vocals, but it felt quite awkward for a normal diff, but moving it back 2 lines is a good middlepoint ✅

ah, was a mistake i made when modding, but there's still one circle that doesn't follow ds (00:30:933 (6) is way too close to 00:30:114 (5). )

you right you right, how did i not notice that one XD

kyaaa this map is so cute (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶) ‹𝟹
dropping by with an unannounced mod, hope you dont mind~

Metadata:
looks fine to me, great work~
here's a marginally higher quality version of your background image, if you are interested.

Easy:
00:03:114 (1) - i would have this slider start at 00:03:387 - ideally, the common theme in this difficulty is that this slider starts at the prominent vocal of the downbeat rather than the beginning of the vocal phrase (see 00:09:933 - 00:12:114 - 00:14:296 - etc) and this one comes at a bit of a surprise
00:08:842 - circle here doesnt hurt to finish off the measure~
00:23:024 (7) - i think the small 1/2 slider into a circle is really nice on the previous measure 00:18:660 (1,2) -, i like how it creates new rhythm on the new section of music, you may like to do it here also~
00:35:024 - a small 1/2 slider going into the circle at 00:35:569 (10) - would fit very sweetly, currently the ending is quite underwhelming with the large 3 beat gap.


Normal:
00:03:114 (1) - i have a similar issue ass to what i described on easy, if you would like, you could place a circle here and move the 1/2 slider to start at 00:03:387 -, this rhythm would fit well
00:03:933 (2) - the 3/4 slider should be extended to a full beat, i think its more effective in capturing the rhythm this way~
00:27:933 (2) - 00:30:114 (5) - should also be turned into 1/1 sliders as per what i mentioned above^^, but in addition, theres a bit of a reading predicament here.
notice the spacing between the two sliders 00:27:933 (2,3) - about 0.5x spacing (you can see this at the top right of your screen). the rhythm is 3/4, which is a larger rhythm gap than the immediate next sliders 00:28:751 (3,4) - yet these sliders have a larger spacing (0.9x). in our normal diffs, we wish to equate spacing directly to the rhythm, for our dear new players to be able to intuitively tell the difference between certain rhythms visually, rather than relying solely on approach circles.
you can apply time-distance equality through the use of distance snap - i highly recommend this!! eyeballing visual note distances may lead to slight errors if you are not highly experienced (and even then, it takes longer.)

Hard:
i will not heavily suggest rhythm changes here as to not overwhelm your own choices ( ˶°ㅁ°)
but, i can't get past how the rhythm density for the beginning section 00:01:205 - to 00:08:842 -, and the immediate section afterward 00:09:933 - to 00:17:569 - are near identical. in terms of lyrical density, yes it is unchanged, but the song notably picks up here, and our beatmapping should reflect that to be effective.
my suggestion would be to perhaps place circles after these 1/4 sliders? as in, 00:10:751 (3) - would have a circle placed at 00:11:024 -
i personally feel as though having each vocal phrase end on a passive mapping (sliderend) is quite underwhelming and not as enjoyable to play (i enjoyed how your insane difficulty did it a lot better!), so this makes it a bit more engaging and thus, hopes to reflect the song changes.

Insane:
i wont mod this difficulty, as so not to overwhelm you :P
my one suggestion may be to enlargen this sliderbody 00:29:569 (3) - a bit, or otherwise find a way to not make the sliderhead and tail not directly overlapping - this can 100% cause reading issues.

hope you find these suggestions to be helpful~

thanks thanks, will be using.

oh thats probably because that was the first slider I mapped and i then continued a different theme going forwards, yep changing that.

i kinda didnt know what to do on the ending and i wanted to not do the 1/2 slider into circle too often, but yeah i think all of this is fair

aww hell yeah that works way better, why didnt i do that 😭

the slider was like that because it was following the vocals, but indeed it fits better into the rhythm of the song when extended, i'll add this

i got 2 mods on my map saying i should activate distance snap
i had distance snap on
what happened ._.
(should be fixed now, (hopefully (maybe)))

i was thinking about that while mapping, but i wasnt sure on how to appropriately change it?
tried something out, idk if its way better like that but i did do something to make it seem not as dense?

also applied this at the same time.
