#he does NOT need the hat but he likely CANT have peach skin/modern eyes. and probably the white gloves

so as you might know, mickey's entering the public domain on january 1st

what if we did something really silly to celebrate?

i know it's really short notice but we can continue to do it even after the date because well, he's gonna be public domain! so what if...we all made "mickeysonas" and posted them with the tag #mickeysona?

kinda like how people made spidersonas and linksonas and sorasonas but more absurd, something that makes people think...why though

a sona is basically a representation of yourself, so in this case you'd be drawing yourself as mickey! or...mickey as you? minnies are also welcome :]

ANOTHER silly idea i had was to coin a term, a "mickey mouse", meaning an iconic or flagship character. like mario is nintendo's mickey mouse and pikachu is pokemon's mickey mouse. what if we literally just. started calling our main oc our mickey mouse. so show off your story's mickey mouse with the tag #mymickeymouse! will it catch on? probably not. but it would be really funny.

if you want to do either or want to see others do it, consider spreading this around!!

#mickey mouse #epic mickey #public domain #toon #sona #idk much on copyright law but i dont think it prevents us from getting a little silly for non-monetary reasons #but if you are interested in actually using the mouse!! #some fun facts: #only the STEAMBOAT WILLIE version will be public domain #BUT! he's not too different anyway #his name is still mickey mouse and his pants were red in promotional material #he does NOT need the hat but he likely CANT have peach skin/modern eyes. and probably the white gloves #also you cant pretend to be affiliated with disney #also someone who knows more about trademark pls confirm if name tomfoolery is a go
