The Awful World of the Mickey Mice AU Masterpost

(Copied from the OG masterpost! And renamed into a new thing)

Ever since Mickey and Walt partnered up, things were going strong. However, new toons in full color were getting more attention. With each passing year, Mickey became more and more irrelevant. So, Disney decides to… let him go. Not entirely, however, as they steal some of his ink and under drawing (which, in this AU, is the skeleton of a toon) and create a clone of him, updated for the norm. Of course, styles come and go. So with each new era, there’s a brand new Mickey, recreated for each and every single style.

But what do they do with the clones when they’re… done? Well, the Mickeys all come together and decide to live together, trying to get by and hopefully put a stop to whatever’s going on.

The Mousetrap Gang:

Gaucho (1920s, pre-Steamboat Willie)

Steamboat (1920s, post-Steamboat Willie)

Tailor (1930s)

Fantasia (1940s/50s)

Housey (1990s)

Rudish (2010s)

Clubhouse (Disney Jr. Shows)

if anyone's wondering what this is about, a woman died from an allergic reaction at a restaurant in a Disney park after repeatedly confirming that the food was allergen-free, and Disney is claiming that because her husband signed up for a free trial of Disney+ a few years ago, he waived all rights to sue them for any reason. i wish i was joking.

Reblogging on this acc because even though I’m a Mickey acc I’m still a decent human being.

Fuck Disney.

Guys I need to work on this I swear… more coming soon (hopefully)!

Possible AU rename?

Hi! I’m so sorry I didn’t know this before making the au but I just now learnt that the Mousetrapped comic exists. (Check out @mousetrappedcomic to see it, it’s really cool!) While I *did* learn about it yesterday, I had completely forgotten to make this post and then I was reminded of it again (sorry). So, sorry for the mixup and for the accidental plagiarism, but…

Should I rename the AU?

Yes, and name it Rat’s Ears!

Yes, and name it The Awful World of the Mickey Mice (TAWotMM or TAWMM)!

No, keep it as is!

Sorry-

[tawotmm]

I need to begin working on this more!! Especially with the Epic Mickey remake coming out soon-

[oswaldskovich]

Hey! So do you think it would be accurate for Mickey to be sad to learn that he replaced someone, or did he know about Oswald before in your eyes? Just curious! Personally I hc the former (I like Mickey but I also like Oswald) but I just wanna know your perspective!! :))

The pathetic rat has no damn shame. So no, it won't be accurate. He was well aware who Oswald was and didn't give care. Why do you think Oswald hates Mickey so much in Epic Mickey 1 and 2?

I don't wanna turn it into a rant so that's all I'll say.

[tawotmm]

hey! So I understand your opinion and I COMPLETELY see where you’re coming from! However I’d like to show why I disagree! Once again, I see your point and it makes sense, I just want to add some counterpoints. (Also please keep this civil!! Your take and everyone else’s takes are valid!!)

For starters, in EM Mickey doesn’t know about Oswald UNTIL he falls into Wasteland. That’s why Gus has to explain what happened to him. Oswald doesn’t hate Mickey because Mickey KNEW abt what happened and did it on purpose. He hates Mickey because Mickey inadvertently stole his fame! Of course, both are in the right - Oswald was replaced and discarded, but Mickey had no idea that he was only made to replace someone. Plus, Mickey seems confused as to why Oswald is mad at him. As for your point that Mickey felt no shame, he apologizes to Oswald for creating the Thinner disaster. While yes, the best course of action was to be up front about it, he also saw how mad Oswald was towards him. I think he hid it because it was a bad time to confess. Granted, I can see how getting it over with was the best course of action, but he and Oswald still reconciled. The two became “brothers” as Yen Sid put it. Also, yes, Mickey calls Oswald “the rabbit” at first, but that’s because he didn’t know Oswald’s name!

Sorry if I come off as rude here, I just disagree! However, your stance is valid! Could you show me some specific examples of proof that Mickey is deliberately against Oswald? I genuinely do wanna see your evidence against me! /srs

FELLOW SONIC AND MICKEY FANS!!! WOO!!!!!!

[sixty-silver-wishes]

gotta say, I love the direction we're taking steamboat willie mickey mouse in now that he's public domain. I was expecting tumblr to rip him apart and be like "we feast on his corpse" (and I would have been on board with that lol), but we've decided that he's one of us now. he's a hero of the working class, newly liberated from his capitalist oppressors who sought to shackle him to traditional values and conservatism for decades. he's supportive of leftist causes. he's trans. he's married to jay fucking gatsby.

we're not celebrating that mickey mouse is dead.

we're celebrating that mickey mouse is free.

and that's beautiful.

[tawotmm]

this is literally what this AU was based around!! Now, I had the concept BEFORE Mickey was public domain, but I still wanted the whole “Mickey is not Disney” thing! He’s finally free from the shackles of his copyright/contract, and it’s beautiful to see that people are happy abt him!

I think the average person knows more characters but doesn't know that Pete is called Peg Leg Pete (I keep forgetting that somehow?????????)

[smallgodseries]

“It all started with a mouse,” that’s what they like to say, over and over again, like it’s somehow impressive.  You know what else started with a mouse?  A hell of a lot of hantavirus, that’s what.  You have mice, you generally call an exterminator, that’s all I’m saying.  But it won’t do you a lot of good, because the mice will get in anyway.  Or get out. Can’t keep mice in cages forever.  That’s not what mice were made for.

Still, they tried like hell, didn’t they?  They changed the rules so many times we pretty much had to throw out the whole rulebook and start over with a new one.  Commandment one: Thou shalt let us do whatever we want, because we’re always right, and if you disagree with us, you’re wrong.  That’s how you lock in the result you want.  You cheat.

Oh, they cheated.  Go ahead and say they did everything legally, but if you have two mice and one maze, and say the rules are the same for both of then, then lay a trail of spray cheese between one mouse and the finish line, while the other has to run it the ordinary way, well, that’s cheating whether or not there’s a rule against it.  Ask any first grader.  That’s the real trick: if a first grader knows you cheated, you’re not even being subtle about it.

They didn’t use spray cheese, of course.  They used money.  And they weren’t racing mice, they were racing legal arguments.  Money votes.  Anyone who tries to say otherwise just doesn’t have any money.

But it all started with a mouse, and from there, it evolved—or devolved—into corruption, greed, and the desperate need to keep being the only people who could solve the maze.  They got so busy changing the rules that they forgot the one rule they couldn’t change.  The rule they should have remembered.  The first rule of mice:

Can’t keep them out.  And that means you can’t keep them in, either.

Everything crumbles.  Every mouse gets out.  And every story yearns to be free.  So tell me, now that you know it all started with a mouse, how are you going to write the ending?  I belong to you now, after all, as much as I belong to anyone.

But most of all, I belong to me.

Mousetrap!AU

Mousetrap is an AU I’ve made which is sort of serious drama and sort of a sitcom?

Here’s the story:

Ever since Mickey and Walt partnered up, things were going strong. However, new toons in full color were getting more attention. With each passing year, Mickey became more and more irrelevant. So, Disney decides to… let him go. Not entirely, however, as they steal some of his ink and under drawing (which, in this AU, is the skeleton of a toon) and create a clone of him, updated for the norm. Of course, styles come and go. So with each new era, there’s a brand new Mickey, recreated for each and every single style.

But what do they do with the clones when they’re… done? Well, the Mickeys all come together and decide to live together, trying to get by and hopefully put a stop to whatever’s going on.

Characters:

Steamboat (1920s)

Tailor (1930s)

Fantasia (1940s/50s)

Housey (1990s)

Rudish (2010s)

More lore coming soon!! Also a tumblr acc on this
