I'm cleaning out my post drafts and realized I haven't posted any of my MCC notes since – August 2023, wow.

( MCC Twitch Rising: GoodTimesWithScar on the Aqua Axolotls, with Hbomb94, GeminiTay, and ImpulseSV )

( MCC Rising: Aerington on the Orange Ocelots/Legundo on the Blue Bats )

( MCC Party: Grian on the Green Geckos with Joel, Jimmy, and Oli )

( MCC 35: GoodTimesWithScar on the Ginger Breadman with bekyamon, FireBreathMan, and Owengejuice )

That was the end of season three. During the breaktime I decided to watch an older one that was frequently recommended:

( MCC 9, Grian on the Pink Parrots with Martyn InTheLittleWoodd, Joel Smallishbeans, and Jimmy SolidarityGaming: the Lords )

Finally another MCC! Season four is the end of the numbered events and of the clear canon/non-canon separation. (I didn't mind but I know some stats nerds struggled.) And they have team announcements now and little team builds pre-event, very cute.

( MCC Season 4 Kick-off: GoodTimesWithScar on the Green Geckos, with FireBreathMan, Joel Smallishbeans, and Xisuma )

( MCC S4 K-O: TangoTek on the Pink Parrots, with ImpulseSV, Etho, and Skizzleman )

( MCC Pride 2024: ZombieCleo on Lime Llamas, with Xisuma, 5up, and Wallibear )

( MCC Twitch Rivals Europe )

( The Ender Cup: GoodTimesWithScar on the Yellow Yaks, with Jimmy Solidarity, Shane FireBreathMan, and guqqie )

( The Ender Cup: Grian on Lime Llamas with Joel Smallishbeans, ImpulseSV, and DanTDM )

( MCC Rising 3, Twitch Con San Diego, MCC Haunted Hoedown, MCC Party 2 )

That was season 4! Fun times. I watched some other Minecraft events during that time – Pandora's Box, parts of Squidcraft, some speedrunning tournaments – but MCC is special, and I look forward to the new season.
I'm very glad the MCC VOD Archive spreadsheet exists, very helpful.

I'm back from vacation! It was great. Very relaxing, I really needed that.
Then on Saturday I went to the traditional summer party of one side of my family, which I always enjoy but which this time sadly meant I missed out on watching MCC live. I managed to stay off the dangerous spoiler-filled places until I watched the whole event this morning, at least, and it was a lot of fun. Which is why instead of writing about my vacation or book reviews or recs I first wrote more than 2k of excited MCC notes. I even have an icon now!

( GoodTimesWithScar on the Cyan Coyotes with Etho (!!), Scott Smajor, and FireBreathMan )

( Tubbo on Pink Parrots with TommyInnit, Jack Manifold, and bekyamon )

I 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.
( GTWScar on the Red Rabbits )

snickfic made a poll about what kind of content people are interested in seeing on DW and the results were encouraging for posting about fandoms most people in my circle are unfamiliar with. I went looking at my drafts and realized that I had notes for seven PoVs from four MCCs that I had simply forgotten to post (and then I added one more just because.)

( MCC 29: GoodTimesWithScar on the Pink Parrots )

( MCC Scuffed: Jojo on Pink Parrots )

( MCC 30: Illumina on the Aqua Axolotls )

( MCC 30: FBM on Purple Pandas, or Scott's Polycule )

( MCC 31: Illumina on the Pink Parrots )

( MCC 31: GTWScar on the Yellow Yaks )

( MCC Pride 2023: ZombieCleo on Red Rabbits )

( MCCP 2023: Illumina on the Cyan Coyotes )

All very fun events. The next one is in a week and a half :) I haven't decided which team I want to watch live yet, it's between Red, Yellow, and Lime.

MCC is back for season 3, finally. That was so much fun.

( MCC #29: Phil and FBM )

Today they also announced MCC Scuffed, which will take place on April 1st :D Fingers crossed that it will be an actual thing and that it will be ridiculous. I want teams we would never get in canon events and I want them to play Find the Button xD

MCC is coming back in March! I'm curious if it'll be on the 25th or not - the question is if Scott will find it funnier to make Tubbo's "prediction" come true or not.
As good a reason as any to watch another old MCC and then finally post some of my notes.

( MCC 12: Phil )

( MCC 13: Illumina )

( MCC 14: PeteZahHutt )

( MCC Pride 2021: Technoblade )

At this point I realized that the plan to watch each MCC in order had started to feel like a chore, so I abandoned it and just watched two more that I'd been looking forward to.

( MCC 17: Illumina )

( MCC 19: Phil )

MCC 28 I watched live, and then another VOD later, but forgot to post about it back then.

( MCC 28: Phil and Illumina )

Looking forward to the next one! (I tried watching some other events in between and did enjoy some of them but it wasn't the same.)

Yesterday was MCC 27, aka MCC Underdogs, and the third anniversary of MCC. ( MCC spoilers )

Today is also Tommy and Tubbo's last DSMP lore stream (for this season), I'm excited. The first three parts were very dramatic and I bet the ending will be even more so. Part three ended only about twenty minutes before MCC began, that was a mood whiplash ^^

I got poked for the fourth time on Friday, so as expected I spent the entire day yesterday useless for anything. But I took two naps just to make sure I wouldn't fall asleep during MCC, and fortunately it worked.

( MCC #26 )

I forgot to post about MCC #25: ( MCC #25 )

I'm still not 100%, but doing better. I even went outside today! Okay, only for a short errand, but maybe later I will go for a short walk? It's sunny outside, that must be good for me.

New MCC tomorrow, I'm excited!
So I thought I should finally post the way too detailed notes I took on the, uh, 17 VODs I watched from the first 11 MCCs.

( All of Techno's and a few others )

I wanted to make another post but most things on my brain currently - well, the ones I want to talk about - are in some way Minecraft-related, either playing myself or watching other people play it. Well, Minecraft and pending-exam-anxiety, but I took the next week off for studying so I should be fine, fingers crossed. Minecraft is helpful for anxiety, but I'll need to be very disciplined so it doesn't distract me too much. Fortunately I can usually never play longer than an hour at a time before I need a break, idk why.

DD tried out a Minecraft demo and loved it :D (Quote DD: "I feel like "loved it" doesn't fully encompass my emotional reaction.") I'm very happy and proud of my success rate at getting her into things, it's fantastic. (DD: "You're an evil enabler and I hate you." Me: "I'm so good at this." DD: "You know what's the worst thing, you're getting better at it." This might be a good place to mention that we are also currently watching SMP Earth together, and while she's not watching herself, she admitted to enjoying the exposure to MCC and DSMP through me.)
She's on her second world (she got frustrated because there was so much ocean in the first one), and she's already built herself a house with a farm and she has a ton of resources because she's exploring so many caves. DD has been playing different versions of Civ and the Sims for over two decades, and in the past year I got her into playing Hades and Phoenotopia, and yet yesterday she told me that playing Minecraft is the first thing that makes her feel like a "gamer," which tbh I find hilarious.
Maybe we'll play together on a multiplayer world eventually :)

Teams were announced for the next MCC and I'm very excited about it already. I'm still watching older MCCs, I'm up to MCC 9, but my pace has slowed down a lot because the more players I'm familiar with the more different perspectives I want to watch.

I've also been watching more DSMP, some old ones and some more recent ones. Yesterday was the big end of Las Nevadas and it was fun. ( Spoilers )

I'd been looking forward to this for a month, and it was as much fun as I'd hoped :)

( Fun and games )

I already look forward to the next MCC!

Meanwhile, I'm doing better health-wise (not fully recovered, but I'll probably go to work for a few hours tomorrow regardless because there are deadlines coming up), and now it's apparently DD's turn. Tbh we weren't careful about staying apart at all so it's not surprising at all that I infected her, but I was at least hoping it'd take another day or two for less overlap. Clearly this means I finally need to make the DSMP fic rec lists I've been thinking about so she has something to entertain her.
