Vanilla Serrif Playlist

- I have changed my Spotify account name to match my Tumblr for reference. If y'all happen to recognize these playlists it is because I used to go by Casual Clownery on there :-))

Playlist and bracelet design here:

I'm posting my playlists for each AU I have dedicated my time to!! I try to combine silly stuff and then more somber moods for Sans/Vanilla Serrif, since both perspectives are so fun for me. He's silly, but the somber or more serious side is also interesting. I tried to mix it up, so it's not in chronological order and more about what I thought would fit the silly skeleton! Even some x yn content! Tell me your thoughts! I'm almost always proud of the playlists I make. I hope you enjoy :]

(please hear me out please hear me out please please please please hear me out on my song choices and playlists)

yunho didn’t see it, did he? god, junso surely hopes so but something about the way yunho is studying him tells him that his wishful thinking is all in vain. his heartbeat quickens as if he’s a teen caught watching something improper by a hovering parent. ridiculous — this is ridiculous and definitely not happening at all. “wow, what a good movie.” it is a shame that the credits have already finished rolling, leaving them in daunting silence and an incoming flow questions. with his phone shoved aside and his best attempt in nonchalance, he proceeds to opening the box of fried chicken just delivered to the doorstep. “smells great — let’s dig in.” he takes a huge bite, hoping food will serve well as his escape plan from the inevitable. “hmm, tastes heavenly.”

LT Apartment AU

I'm just copy and pasting what I came up with on a whim in discord

@ghostarwarrior if you have ideas on this I love to chat with you <3

Neighbor AU (apartments) Íthro lives on the third floor, Glanni on the second floor below Íthro, Robbie on the first floor and Sport on the highest floor like six or something Ithro jumping around doing his exercises and Glanni gets annoyed by all the stomping sounds, he often blasts music, one time he threw like potatoes at the ceiling bc he couldn't find a broom, (idek why he has potatoes maybe he was going throw them at ducks or something when taking a break from bulling the kids at the park maybe) as he's doing that he prolly hurts his back or arm or hip whatever cause he's in bad shape and walks like an old man so his fault. A few potatoes definitely hit him on the way down

Anyways Robbie does maintenance stuff for the people in the building, the owners Milford and Bessie live on the first floor a door away from Robbie, so Robbie bumps into them all the time even when he's being sneaky, Bessie somehow always finds him and starts chatting about random gossip or sum, they often exchange dessert recipes

Íthro thinks Glanni's grumpy mood is amusing he finds him funny and finds himself hoping he'll bump into him when he leaves for the gym in the mornings. But Glanni is not a morning person at all, he is a mess, comes out the door in pink bunny slippers and black thin silky robe that's way too short (he sleeps in the nude probs)

Sport and Íthro go to the gym every single morning, on days Íthro is not awake/ready before him (which has been happening a lot more recently🤨wonder is Glanni has anything to do with that) he waits at the bottom of the stairs on the first floor. Robbie coming out his door tired and dead inside holding a big Garfield coffee mug (BC EVERYONE NEEDS A GARF MUG I SWEAR) and gets his breakfast delivery (he orders from some pastry place nearby, gets little cakes and stuff delivered to him most mornings) and Sport sees him tries to make conversation, Stephanie sometimes pops out on her way to school, happy that they're getting along and skips out the building with the other kids not far behind her. Also thanks to @coda-clownery for the idea of making Afrám Íthro the cryptid of the building

Here's a layout of each person's apartment, but I just realized that Sport should be ten, and I might move things around with the numbers, like the numbers aren't in order or something just so I can have Sport as 10 and also staying in the same spot maybe

Also where Afrám Ithro is i feel like it'd be a sus ominous like empty/abandoned apartment that the kids are scared of

There's also another building next to it that's a bit smaller and worse, I just wanted Maggibæt to happen and include the mayhem town gang, i figured that the Mr kicker dude whatever could own the second building ig

I think it's a lil silly whack that the mayhem town gang and officer loli would live in the same building

Also Im prolly gonna stick with Ithro and Sport are brothers and Glanni and Robbie are cousins

As modern AU jobs.. I'm not sure

I feel like Ithro could be some sort of personal trainer or something. Robbie probably invents stuff and gets good amount of money but also lives off of like inheritance money, I don't even know what to say about Glanni, Idk a stripper lmao, Sport.. I'm not sure still thinking

Last but not least I'm happy to answer questions or thoughts about this or any of my posts ig so come talk to me about my hyper fixations🤘

E3 is when this fandom truly comes alive. I was here for the Resurgence fiasco and it was the funniest shit. The countdowns, the shitposts, the five stages of grief everyone was going through, it was a beautiful crescendo of disaster. The mood seems more cautiously hopeful this year, and I'm bummed Sony isn't coming, but I'm still hoping it's a great week of clownery. Maybe we'll actually get Bioshock, who knows.

I actually forgot about the kerfuffle about Resurgence! And I’m glad the reception is a bit more subdued this year- the tags were full of all caps posts for DAYS. Once bitten, twice shy, right? But I’m really interested in what’ll happen this year, too.

Ok I wasn't going to bang this particular drum but damnit if I'm not in a mood today, so bang away I shall.

We do not owe people like Scott anything. Everything they accomplished was done by native people first OR wasn't done by native people for a reason. Amundsen gets the love he gets because he had enough common sense between his ears to admit that he was fallible and needed help. This isnt a trait that deserves praise, because most have this trait when it comes to things we dont understand, but he deserves credit because of the sheer clownery of the others in his field. His actions were revolutionary because he approached them from the angle of understanding and learning, he wasn't trying to have a pissing contest with Duke Whogivesashit or get famous for the sake of fame.

Amundsen had a decent background that prepped him for the acts, sure, but so did people like Crozier. Difference being, Crozier was bogged down in that typical, and deadly, European/White ideology of honor, grit, and "racial superiority" that gets you killed whereas Amundsen was able to steer away from that social quagmire and proceed as he knew he needed to. Crozier had to fight against anti-Irish bigotry and English ego, which ultimately got him and everyone else killed in one of the dumbest and most ill-equipped attempts at this tomfoolery in history. Yes, hindsight is 20/20, but history from the native groups/families that interacted with the Franklin expedition clearly outline what is almost assuredly a put-upon Crozier being dragged down towards death by his crew and "superiors" because his experience and positive relationship with those native people just flat-out couldn't outweigh the metric fuckton English stupidity that made up the very foundation and timbers of that expedition (and yes, The Terror s1 is a good show, but it isnt even close to what happened according to historical record. Go check out DiamandaHagan on youtube for some quick rundown videos on the true historical record of the Franklin Expedition. Part one is here: https://youtu.be/7-c2EFFGBww).

We could have had another Amundsen in Crozier, and in some ways we do, but he was effectively forgotten up until The Terror because of the Franklin expedition failure and the fact that nobody but his own crew respected him even when he was alive. If Amundsen had died before achieving what he did, I'm sure history would have erased him too, because like Crozier, he knew he needed to learn from native people and put himself below them in terms of knowledge and experience, which the European/White community didnt fucking tolerate since it clashed with their stuck-in opinions on "savages".

But here's the nugget that's stuck in my craw over this; none of this needed to happen. Nobody needed to have a white dude slop around in the Arctic or Antarctic. This, at its core, was exploring for the sake of exploration born from racism. The inherent ignorance and hatred of explorers is why the body counts are so damn high, and why most if not all success stories include having a positive working relationship with the native group that lived there (or at least someone having learned from natives previously and carrying that knowledge where applicable).

They could have anchored on shore, flagged a dude down, and offered him something of value in exchange for him drawing a map. Bam. Done. Now you know exactly what is where and can even vet it by going through the mapped area yourself if you so desire. The bulk of your pain and suffering was undone in about an hour or less. Now offer that dude and his people some more shit of value in exchange for gear or advice. Bam. Done. Now you wont die horrifically while you're testing out your fancy new bespoke map. Give that dude a handshake and some finger guns while you climb back onto your boat and sail away, secure in the knowledge that you saved hundreds of lives, thousands of dollars, and months or years of human suffering.

All of these horrific deaths and tragic tales of men starving, slicing off their own frozen body parts, going temporarily blind, developing permanent disabilities from exposure or malnutrition, and dying in some of the most painful and slow ways possible in nature didnt have to happen. Bare minimum, they didnt have to happen in the sheer volume that they did. These people suffered and died from an acute case of racism, and we shouldnt praise them for trying and failing at their own ignorant and hateful hands.

So I’m watching a documentary about Antarctica because why not, and just.

Folks from the English navy kept trying to get there via refusing to learn anything from people who lived in cold climates and just being like “No, no, we’ll just soldier on, sheer grit and will will overcome!”

And then starving and freezing to death because Antarctica doesn’t care a goddamn bit how badly you want to get to the south pole.

And then a Norwegian, who grew up loving cold weather and living with native arctic peoples, goes “Hey bet I can do it” and him and some other fuckin Viking looking dudes from the Nordic countries just saunter on up to the South pole and build a tent there, name it “Polheim,” leave a fuckin letter in it for Scott (the Englishman) saying “LOL beat you” and then saunter out like it ain’t no thing.

And as I’m watching, folks describe Amundsen as having a “one eyed intent on his goal” and I’m just sitting here like “Fuckin really.”
