Filip

"Did you know ska came before reggae?"

- Filip

Filip is a character created by JosszzoL. He is the central character of the V.S. FILIP mod. A huge fan of ska music, Filip aims to revive the genre by playing his favorite ska songs on the trumpet, joined by Boyfriend's singing.

Appearance
Filip is a white anthropomorphic cat with a bushy tail and long, asymmetrical blonde hair. He has one curly bang that swirls counter-clockwise. He has prominent eyelashes and no nose. In V.S. FILIP, he wears a green overcoat over a white t-shirt (with an orange ring pattern), jeans, and a dark brown beanie. He also wields a trumpet in his right hand.

Trivia

 * V.S. FILIP was a three-person effort between JosszzoL (Art, Charting, Directing), jac k (Composing), and douggg (Scripting).
 * The song title "I'm Going for a Walk" references a lyric from Oliver Hart's "On A Clear Day". This lyric is also sampled in the intro to Night Gaunts's "Mosquitoes", the song that "I'm Going for a Walk" covers.
 * The song title "Respect Everybody (Except for John)" references an interjection that Jeff Rosenstock made before a live performance of "FRRRREEEEEE BIIIIIIRRRRRD! FRRRREEEEEE BIIIIIIRD!!!!", the song that "Respect Everybody (Except for John)" covers. It can be viewed here.
 * The song title "BIG CHANCE!!" references Fatty's Big Chance, which is a fictitious one-man ska band from Homestar Runner's "Teen Girl Squad #8". It is also deliberately in all-caps to pay homage to Japanese ska bands (i.e. Yum!Yum!Orange) which typically stylize their song titles in all-caps.
 * The song title "Say My Name, Elyse" references a quote made by Bruce Greene to Elyse Willems in Funhaus's "Band Manager Part 2", where he did a satirical impersonation of Aaron Barrett, the lead singer of ska band Reel Big Fish.
 * The song title "Top / Countertop" is a parody of ska-punk band Streetlight Manifesto's "Point / Counterpoint".
 * The intro of "Top / Countertop" is based off another song from the same album as "Point / Counterpoint", namely "Everything Went Numb".
 * In the files, Top / Countertop is referred to as "Top ` Countertop".
 * During Say my Name, Elyse and Top/Countertop, a book named "Archery for Idiots" appears in the background, and arrows start appearing, which implies that someone was practicing archery in the library.
