schneefinkI finally did something I'd been procrastinating on for a while for no reason: I let my clothes with bad sweat stains soak in vinegar water overnight before putting them in the laundry machine. Preliminary results show a slightly over 50% rate of success, sadly not including one of the dresses I was most hoping to wear again so maybe I'll try something else eventually, idk. Still, at least I tried.
I did also buy two nice new summer tops last week, but sadly couldn't find the things I was actually looking for, a bikini and sandals. I'm this close to lowering my standards but still hoping that there have to be things I like in my size somewhere… Shopping is only fun when I don't actually need anything.
Yesterday was MCC 32! I watched Red Rabbits live and had a great time.
Scar on the Red Rabbits, with Antfrost, Ranboo, and aimsey
Winner's PoV! I did not expect that at all; actually I almost considered watching Lime or Yellow because I thought they had better odds, especially after aimsey got sick. But anything can happen in MCC!
This team was so much fun. The vibes were great even when they weren't doing very well, which was for a while especially early on, and even though they said that early games don't matter with how close MCCs can be that's not really true. They got eighth in RSR – Scar almost made top 10 in the first round, even! Eighth again in GR, they especially got unlucky in the fishing rod lamp room (Scar: we need Etho in MCC. Agreed ^^) and Scar had some unfortunate falls in the sewer room, which sucked because Scar gets in his own head too much when he struggles. Seventh in BB – sad Scar didn't manage to kill Scott ^^
Then an early SoT, unlucky for them because they expected to do well in that, with Ant and Ranboo two excellent runners and aimsey one of if not the best sandkeeper in the event. And they did win! Scar did fine as a runner, he didn't die and found the green key (and was polite enough to give it to aimsey.) Faced with an area with lava, looking at the camera: "H what should I do?" xD Muting for a second to calm himself down talking about movies with chat wasn't the best call but they made it.
They won Ace Race too! Clouds 2.0 and Ant got first, nice. Scar was very focused on not getting last, though putting on the Anakin Skywalker podracer helmet with goggles that kept falling down and obstructing his view did not help, 34th was quite good for that.
Then last in PKW, that was so unlucky with both Ant and Scar soo close to finishing. Another instance of Scar clearly getting into his own head too much. Poor Ant fumbling that last jump on the hard ending.
First again in HitW, Ant and Ranboo did so good in that, and then first again in SkB! That was a great performance. (Only outshone by fruit in Skybattle, I watched that afterwards, whoa.)
It got them to first overall and Dodgebolt!! And then they won!!! In five rounds for extra anxiety, so close. I would have been happy for Aqua to win too, especially Kara who's played in 29 events and hasn't won since MCC 1, which didn't make DB much less stressful. I was very happy for Scar, especially since he tweeted the day before that he'll need extra support because he's had a difficult time recently, and so happy for Ranboo and aimsey who both finally got their first wins!! And they got it together too. They were so emotional :_) Scott coming over to aimsey's house right afterwards to give them and Ranboo their coins in person was very sweet.
(ETA: they got lucky with the game order - apparently unmultiplied they would've gotten fourth.)
That was a great team. Scar and aimsey didn't know each other but got along very well, they're both Disney fans and aimsey especially did a great job helping keep Scar's morale up. It was aimsey's idea for all of them to wear FNAF skins, which Scar didn't even know was the theme at first and then that led to multiple discussions of if he'd enjoy FNAF or not since it's a horror game. And they said they'd go to Disneyland together :)
Favorite moments from Scar's chat: Cub being supportive throughout, and then in the middle of DB Grian: "I forgot about MCC and he's in DODGEBOLT?" xD
Favorite moment from VC, Scar deafened or left for a bit after the event when half a dozen other people joined their team VC, and then he joined again in time to hear Tubbo say "fuck all of you" and immediately left again xD He did later mention to Tubbo that he still owes him a Scarland tour, looking forward to that. And then he spent at least twenty minutes (?) talking about Disney to chat, typical Scar :)

(Feel free to buy that not-on-amazon, I just like to link people to something with a picture and reviews.)
