#tmnt 2k3
so my wife and i were talking and collectively came the realization that Mikey would probably make it big as a twitch streamer
he’s always on mic but never camera– instead he represents himself with a drawing that’s literally just what he looks like irl but which everyone assumes is a kind of out-there fursona.
“no but i’m actually a giant turtle for real, i promise you guys ;) “ is a running gag on his stream (everyone assumes it’s just a long running bit but no one is sure where it came from– and no one wants to be the clueless noob who actually ASKS what started it)he also does videogame reviews and top-ten videos on youtube with the same “sona”, as well as posts original music he mixed
Splinter is initially absolutely aghast that he’s revealing his identity so casually until Mikey explains it thus: that by saying the truth in such an audacious way, everyone assumes he’s joking– it’s literally hiding in plain sight! what could be more ninja than that, right? Splinter is still dubious but admits that Michelangelo does have a point
at some point he scores the number-one slot on a list of twitch’s top ten eligible bachelors and he is SO PROUD of this. as much or moreso as he was about being BATTLE NEXUS CHAMPION
He begs Don incessantly for a facerig avatar of his “sona” for his stream/videos, but his brother always has some important project to tackle for a larger mission, and shoos him off.
On the morning of Mikey’s birthday, he finds Don on the couch with his laptop. (”Dude!! …how’d you guess my password?”) Don smirks as he hands over the computer so Mikey can see the little mini-Mikey suddenly snap to match his overjoyed expression.
haven’t had the time for any new tmnt edits for some time now bc of school so i give you this short Mikey edit (audio from a John Mulaney stand-up)
