SHATT HEAD CANONS THAT'S WHAT I'M HERE FOR Okay so Headcanons for if Matt was a youtuber and he asked shiro to do a video with him 😭🙏🏻
Takashi Shirogane/Matt Holt - YouTuber Headcanons
HOLY SHIT. I HAD TO DROP E VERY THI NG I WAS DOING JUST TO COMPLETE THIS; superb, you funky little mega-babe. This is an A+ ask, just slide into my inbox with these cute ideas, okay? Okay.
I honestly got way too invested in these and added a lot more than just Shiro in one of Matt’s videos.

His YouTube channel is called GundamsNDraggin’ - chalk full of D&D Podcasts, vlogs that revolve around showing off his kit models, half-assed Let’s Plays, and a few reviews on geekery items he didn’t like (he never posts any good ones).
He started it purely for the kicks and because Pidge offhandedly mentioned that a big following would bring in some big bucks; naturally, he went for it, expecting nothing - however, his channel took off and he has a couple million subscribers now.
Matt mostly plays a lot of sci-fi and horror games - he loves the Resident Evil series, though he picks out a lot of discrepancies and mocks the makers for their lack of scientific premise.
He mentions Shiro a lot in his videos, because of course he does, the guy is his best friend! But, he secretly hopes he’s watching, too - and feels like he’s as special as Matt (and everyone watching) thinks he is.
He binged all of Shiro’s videos the moment he found out he had a channel - though small, and not really poppin’ yet - and thought that maybe making videos together was something they should do.
He has no clue in hell how YouTube works; sure, he’s used it a lot for studying and watching educational videos, because it has a lot of good works and references - but actually knowing how to navigate without clicking a link in a pre-prepared email? Not something he cared to figure out.
However, once he found out that Matt had a YouTube channel, he created his own - SHIROGANE (he’s not good with usernames) - and started posting in the hopes that something he creates will impress his best friend.
Shiro gets really into it, though! He learns a lot from the Galaxy Garrison and being able to teach people online who are interested in even just the basics is really fun and fulfilling for him - so much, that he even bothered to learn how to edit videos a little.
He knows Matt is watching him now that they’re subscribed to each other, so being able to make something really cool is always in the back of his mind - the other is not exactly easy to sweep off his feet.
His subscribers call him Professor Shiro. Fuck yes, right?
Shiro was a nervous wreck on the day that he actually had to film with Matt; he was fine at interacting, because he sees him every day, but this was going to be seen by millions of people and he was really sure that they were more perceptive than Mr. Oblivious Science Geek.
Matt really wanted to film a Let’s Play and thought it would be great if Shiro came along, since he was doing a throwback to the older Resident Evils and needed a partner for the split screens. He didn’t really want to mention that Takashi was a way better shot, too.
They hit it off and everyone watching was aware of the chemistry, Matt was laying pick-up lines on thick, though Shiro’s already used to his antics and didn’t think much of it.
The best part is how their intelligence shows in their conversations, sometimes they pause the game and go on rants about just how biologically incorrect certain details of the story are, and though these last longer than they should - the audience really loves how passionate they get.
Of course, this is all fun and games, but Matt had an ulterior motive and since he lacks tact - right in the middle of a huge battle, he decided to ask Shiro out.
Matt: *shooting zombies* Shiro?
Shiro: *perfect aim every time* Yeah?
Needless to say, the Game Over screen popped up soon after because Shiro.EXE definitely stopped working. And Matt had a boyfriend by midnight.
Shiro’s subscriber count increased exponentially and now they film videos together every week.
