thinking about tmnt x alice in borderland ft donnies playing the king of diamonds
just cause the suits align with the brothers really well
Im Sorry @vanillatheartist, tumblr destroyed your question while I was working on it, but I went on a whole rant on this!
So the way I draw is not how I would ever ever NEVER recommend, it's all fundamentals put into just doodling from one point to finish before even doing the gestures so I made a time-lapse solely do demonstrate that
My very annoy first tip is knowing the fundamentals of draftsmanship, learning from studying figures, that is not just draw from photos but see how artists draw figures also by seeing how the gestures are done. Don't know how to draw a pose? Use a reference, don't know how to approach a pose? Create an inspiration folder of photos and artworks. What is also very important to know when drawing dynamically is knowing perspective and how to foreshorten, figure out the tricks and keep pushing the forms further and further..
There is so much from fundamentals that go into this and I have studied anatomy so much to be able to draw like how I did in the video without having to look at anything because I have collected a memory bank from studying and perhaps I just watch way too much fighting movies and I like to at times just watch boxing so I know a thing or two that you need to know theoretically (Lets be real I have never got into serious fights before, how would I know if I can do these moves) how fighting styles are.
Now perhaps I could give you few tips that aren't annoying LOL
First tip is knowing how to let all forms flow, let it curve depending of the frame you are going for, let the flow lead the eye, knowing flow can help you push then even further, don't just stick to the first try, see if you can take it even further, push and toss the form even more, SHAPES SHAPES Even muscles will create the flow, don't stick too much to accuracy of muscles, let it also lead the flow and create shapes that neatily stack together, knowing the anatomy allows you to also break it
Once you realize how to use the flow to manipulate the forms you need to consider the planes, the planes go with the flow, don't let the planes work against the flow of your poses! Using Flow versus straight lines create an effective dynamic shapes so being able to push those against each other makes the shapes way more interesting.
The simpliest tip I give is this... don't make a symmetrical blob.... thats where you manipulate muscles *wink*
Now... the biggest tip to make the pose pop out is knowing how to foreshorten the limbs, the biggest mistake is trying to accurately have the muscle somehow overlap the front muscle, this is why I do it like this drawing, cut into with the straight line and into the muscle, then let the forms of the muscles keep overlapping the next, this is why I do a lot of circles, they help me decide all the overlapping and poses!
Now... I didn't show any gestures, because I think we all hear it too much either way, its one of the biggest fundamentals so do check tutorials for it if you are unsure how to do gesture lines for poses !
I hope this helps somehow, Its been forever I have made a tutorial and I think this has become way more precise as I continue trying to show what Im thinking!

Rise!Donnie x Reader
Words: 3,760
Warnings: Biting, Slightly suggestive content, Mentions of blood Please let me know if I need to add more content warnings! I am still learning!
Donnie’s eyes trace over the curve of your shoulders, catching onto the slight muscle shifts as you reach up to put away the dishes. He can feel the need rising and tries to shove it down. He knows that it’s only a matter of time until he gives in to it.
Donnie has never had a feeling like this before, being the least likely of the brothers to give in to his more yokai urges. Sure, hissing and growling came to him instinctually and was natural for him to do, but biting? He felt like that was something that he could not allow himself to give into. This was just another blaring reminder that although he walked and talked like one, he was not human.
He almost considered locking himself up just in case these instincts delved into something deeper, he was quite familiar with the concept of other mutants becoming slave to their more animalistic side. But just before he definitively decided one way or the other, you had persuaded him to go out to a local cafe with him. He came out warily, expecting to want to bite every human he came across, but interestingly enough the instinct had dissipated entirely. He had celebrated internally, maybe just a bit of fresh air was what he needed to push the urges aside, he had been spending too much time in the sewers lately. Maybe it was just the sewer fumes finally getting to his head.
Yet as soon as he caught a glimpse of you through the window, he could feel the urge to bite come back full force. His eyes slide over to another human, testing out the limits of what he was feeling. As soon as you’re out of his eyesight, the lessens but sure enough when he turns back to look at you, there it is again.
Although he prefers to use his mouth as a metaphorical weapon, there were times that he had been desperate enough to use it in the literal sense. He had bitten and chewed his way out of many situations before, often getting out of them by quite literally the skin of his teeth. He had bitten to hurt; to wound, but the way he wanted to bite you was something else entirely.
He had never wanted to bite someone so gently before.
Donnie hadn’t told you about this urge of his, feeling too embarrassed to even bring it up. He didn’t even want you to know about it, hoping the feeling would pass without ever having to get you involved in it. This whole thing was so stupid, he was better than this. He had seen your shoulders before, it wasn’t like it was anything new, he had known you for years before ever getting into a relationship with you. But now every time he caught a glimpse of your shoulder, he oogled you like a middle school Victorian boy. This was surely just another instinct messing with his head and Donnie being Donnie could surely fight it off on his own. But after two weeks, it persisted.
He was constantly chewing on the inside of his cheek nowadays, an old stim that had come back in full force these past few weeks. The mindless chewing satisfied him to a point but apparently, it wasn’t enough.
You were both chilling on the couch watching some mindless video essay on the projector. The urge to bite was lessened when he held you like this but it still lingered in the back of his mind, and he was unconsciously chewing on the inside of his cheek to try to stave it off. You were cuddled perfectly into him and he was content to lay with you for hours. Glancing down to admire you in his arms, he goes still. Your jacket had slipped oh so very slightly down, revealing the entirety of your shoulder to him.
In his realization of what he was looking at, the urge grew tenfold, and in his momentary loss of control, his teeth sliced clean through the inside of his cheek. He only realizes that he has bitten hard enough to draw blood when the metallic tang seeps into his mouth.
Immediately catching onto the way he had frozen underneath you, you turn to him slightly in curiosity. Not expecting his wide eyes to be staring back at you.
“Are you… okay?” your eyes flick back and forth between his.
Donnie just stares at you for a moment before shaking his head slightly, trying to clear his thoughts. He nods sharply once and moves to get up, softly shifting you off of him.
You’re left to sit there in confusion, watching as he briskly walks to the bathroom.
He shuts the door quietly behind him before quickly making his way over to the sink. Spitting into it, he watches the blood slowly trail down the side and into the drain. He drags a hand down his face and comes to the reality that biting his cheek wouldn’t work forever.
This was not good.
So Donnie tried to compensate in other ways.
He tried buying chew toys, something that he knew had helped Raph before, keeping them hidden around the lair when he felt the urge to bite you. Donnie felt a little foolish ducking away from you and going to bite a chew toy instead, but… it was better than hurting you.
You had caught onto his slipping away from you and he could see how it concerned you. Amazing, perfect you, had immediately thought that it was something that you had done. He was quick to shut down those thoughts, although he wasn’t entirely truthful as to why it wasn’t you. Unfortunately, his lack of an explanation still made you suspicious of him. He had the conversation with you almost two weeks ago now and you were still zeroed into every slight change in his demeanor. He was now more wary to sneak off in your presence.
Which led him to this moment; chewing his cheek raw as he fiddled with scrubbing a particularly dirty plate. There was no way he could escape without immediately alerting you; doing the daily chore of washing dishes had become a way for you both to decompress after a long day and it had become a habit you both had come to enjoy. While he washed the dishes, you would dry them and put them together. Leaving now would surely make you think that something was wrong and that would start a conversation about Donnie’s behavior… and yeah, he didn’t want to get into all of that.
Between keeping up a conversation with you and washing dishes, he can feel his control slipping away from him and chewing his cheek was, again, not helping. He stares into the soapy water, battling with himself before allowing himself a glance towards you.
Across from him in the kitchen, you’re putting away a stack of glasses in the particularly high cabinet, one that you could only reach if you stood on your tippy toes. You take a glass from the stack and then place it up onto the shelf one by one. In the midst of your movement, there your jacket goes again, loosely hanging off of your shoulders.
He bites down on his cheek a little harder, the pain from when he cut himself before breaking himself out of his reverie. Donnie sucks in a breath and forces his eyes away from you.
He’s only able to focus on the dishes again for mere moments before his eyes drag themselves back over to you. Before he realizes what he’s doing, his hands slip out of the gloves and he’s already halfway across the kitchen and out reaching toward you.
Hands sliding across your waist, he pulls you slightly against him before leaning down into your space, his head hovering mere inches over your shoulder.
Pausing to put away the dishes, you crook your head slightly to him.
You say something to him in question, but his mind doesn’t register it, he’s too focused on your shoulder.
Everything else fades to the background as he’s stuck in a stalemate between his mutant and logical mind. His mouth opens, blowing hot breath across your neck causing a shiver to travel up your back.
God, he can’t take this anymore.
You’re saying something again, trying to catch his attention but he doesn’t hear it. You squirm slightly in his arms but Donnie only tightens them more.
His eyes bore into your shoulder memorizing every slight muscle shift you make as he brings his mouth down closer. He opens his mouth wider, almost about to bite down-
“Donnie!” You say firmly, pushing against his embrace.
You shrug him off easily, successfully breaking whatever hold his instincts had on him and turn to him exasperated.
“What has gotten into you?”
Donnie stands there, at a loss for words.
Which rarely happens to him, he often seems to have way too many.
He fumbles with his words, “I uh-.”
You stand there expectantly waiting for him to talk.
Donnie’s mouth opens and closes like a fish before just stopping entirely.
“We can’t just keep dancing around each other like this.” You huff out, “There is obviously something wrong with you and I think it’s reasonable enough to want to know why.”
You cross your arms one over the other as you look at him, muscles shifting slightly beneath your skin.
Unfortunately, this means Donnie is distracted once more by you.
Focus, Donnie.
They’re expecting an answer.
Donnie’s mouth opens once again to respond. “I-”
“And don’t try to explain it away this time. You might be smarter than me, but that doesn’t mean I’m dumb.”
“I never said that.” He bristles at the implication. “You sure imply it when you won’t trust me with what you’re going through.” You bite out.
His eyes drop down to your shoulder once more, before flicking back up to meet your gaze.
“I want to bite you.” He blurts out.
You take an ever so slight step backwards from him and he feels his heart drop into his stomach.
“You want to what?”
It’s not entirely an accusatory statement and he’s sure that you’re only asking for clarification but he can only feel the dread of what he’s about to explain to you creeping up on him.
“I want to… bite you,” he repeats.
It all suddenly seems so real when Donnie says it out loud and it leaves an uncomfortable feeling on his tongue. He wants desperately to be rid of it.
“That’s why I’ve been acting all weird.” His face scrunches up in frustration with himself and he taps his palm against his forehead.
“My mutant instincts are messing with my mind. You know when people get cuteness aggression; when they like something so much their brain doesn’t know what to do with itself and instead counteracts it with something negative. Well,” He swallows. “I think that’s what’s happening to me… with you.”
You both stand there for an agonizing couple of beats before the sentence fully registers in your mind.
“Oh. Oh...” You huff out a laugh in relief. “That’s what all of this has been about? I was beginning to think that you didn’t like me anymore.”
“What? No! This is the turtle side of me saying I want to be near you… though not in the most productive way, I might add.” He murmurs the last part out.
“Donnie, why wouldn’t I understand this part of you?” Stepping forward, you take his hands into yours, softly laughing. “I mean you already purr and hiss like a cat.”
Donnie takes a little offense at the comment, but it's hard to hide the smile creeping up from the corner of his lips. He’s just glad that you’re still joking with him.
“It’s called ‘churring’, thank you very much.”
“Yeah, uh huh. You overgrown cat.” You smile playfully at him before turning a bit more serious. “When I got into this relationship, I wasn’t expecting you to be human, I don’t need you to be human. I need you to be Donnie.”
He squeezes your hand and nods.
“I know, I know.” He murmurs, leaning forward to place a kiss on your forehead. “But I am sorry for keeping it hidden from you, I’m just afraid of-”
“Hurting me?” You finish his sentence. “I don’t think you could ever hurt me on purpose.”
“I’ve tried to distract myself from it with other things but I have yet to try… giving in. It might go away if I can.” Donnie clears his throat before looking to the side, feeling a blush start to bloom on his cheeks. “If that is something you would be interested in.”
“I might” You smile playfully. “...How do you feel right now?”
Donnie thinks for a moment, the urge is still there but it’s lessened considerably.
“I think-” He swallows. “I think I’m okay for now.”
“Next time this urge happens, please let me know. I’m fine with it, but I just need a warning, you know?”
His instincts had given him a much-needed break for the rest of the day and he was able to act normal (well Donnie’s usual normal anyway) for the rest of the day. After finishing up the chores in the kitchen you both had gone through the motions of the day before finally settling into bed. Donnie’s body was curled around you as the big spoon and you both watched whatever videos that happened across your phone. Both of you had fallen into a sort of trance as you both watched the screen and Donnie could feel sleep beginning to tug at his eyelids.
But of course, there was that feeling again.
Donnie's head falls against your back in defeat as he can feel the urge to bite you rising again. He really didn’t want to ruin this moment with you, but you had said that you wanted him to be more honest with you… and that was something he could honor.
Donnie props himself up onto one of his forearms and leans slightly over you so that he can see your face a bit more clearly. He murmurs your name softly and you murmur back in response.
“Can I…?” He leaves the rest of the question in the air.
You turn your head a bit more to look at him and set down your phone, the sleep in your gaze slowly wearing off as you recognize what he’s asking you.
“O-oh. Yes, of course.” You adjust a little bit in his hold before asking hesitantly, “Do I need to do something?”
He slowly shakes his head.
“No, I don’t think so. Just tell me as soon as I go too far.” He murmurs out, “I don’t want to hurt you.”
“Okay.” You murmur back.
He wraps his arms around you once more, holding you loosely against him just in case you want to pull away before reaching up to slowly drag the fabric of your shirt away from your shoulder. Donnie breath blows across your shoulder again as he hesitates once more.
“I’m serious. Tell me to stop and I will.”
You nod softly.
His tongue sweeps across his teeth as he makes a final nervous swallow before opening his mouth once more, going as slow as possible from him too, giving you ample time to tell him to stop. He needs to be careful with you, any fast movements from either of you and he could break skin. Although he wanted to bite, he didn’t want to cause you pain. Donnie’s mouth hovers for a few moments before finally settling it onto your shoulders.
You involuntarily flinch when he bites down on you and Donnie immediately stops, pausing to see your reaction.
“You’re okay, Donnie.” You breathe out, “Just… surprised me is all.”
He hesitantly continues, slowly but steadily increasing the pressure of the bite just up until the point where he is too afraid that he’ll break the skin. He holds the pressure there; just languishing in the moment. The instincts seem to have settled in his chest, satisfied and he pulls away.
When he sees the bite mark, he can’t stop the involuntary churring reverberating from his chest, and dear god, was his tail wagging too? He didn’t churr often and when he did, it was-
Embarrassing…
You turn to him slightly with a smile creeping out of the side of your mouth. “Happy?”
He huffs through his nostrils and nudges his head against yours, feeling too embarrassed to admit that simply biting you could make him get like this.
His snout nudges in between your neck and shoulder, planting a soft kiss there.
You pat the arm that he has wrapped around you. “I’ll take that as a yes.”
He peppers another kiss along your collarbone before maneuvering so that he hovers over you, now able to reach more of your neck. Donnie feels your heartbeat get faster through the kisses he leaves along your shoulder.
One bite mark would deter off another Yokai, but it's less likely for them to see it if he only left one, it would be better if he left more.
And you did say that it was okay for him to bite.
He leaves one kiss along your neck, nipping slightly before pulling away, checking for discomfort.
"Oh c’mon, Don.” You laugh slightly, allowing him to continue. “I'm not made of paper.”
His churr deepens as he leaves bites along your collarbone and your shoulders. Your heartbeat picks up and your hearts beat in unison, tangling yourself into one. Donnie’s instincts demanded more and more of you only stopping when you let out a gasp.
He pulls back, checking over your face for signs of pain.
Your face is scrunched up slightly into a grimace.
“Donnie, I’m okay.” You reassure him.
He opens his mouth to respond and he notices the tang of blood in his mouth.
Not his blood, yours.
His eyes flash down to your shoulder again, seeing red just beginning to bloom on your shoulder. The churring in his chest peters out as he feels his stomach drop.
There it was, blaring proof that he went too far.
“I knew this was a bad idea.” He murmurs to himself.
He can fix this, he can fix this.
He clambers out of the bed and starts to leave to get supplies.
Sitting up in bed, you reach out to stop him but you’re unable to.
“Donnie-” You start to get up to follow but he gently stops you from getting up.
“Stay.” He says firmly.
Sitting back down, you instead watch Donnie leave, making his way out of the bedroom before coming back with a first aid kit and ice pack in hand. He quickly makes his way over to you again, laying out the first aid kit before picking out an antiseptic wipe.
“Donnie, I’ll be fine you didn’t even bite that hard…” Your words trail off as you watch his expression change into one where you know he’s made up his mind.
He pulls the collar of your shirt down so he can look at it a bit closer. He feels a sort of pride as he looks at the mark, one that immediately sours.
“You are never going to let me do this again.” He says firmly, taking the wipe out of the package. “I don’t care how much my instincts tell me to.”
He presses it into your shoulder and you flinch a bit at the sting of it.
There are so many bite marks… all of these will surely bruise.
He busies himself as he cleans up the various marks on you, everything else fading into the background.
“Donatello.”
He pauses, he hasn’t heard you say his actual name in a while.
You lift a hand to his face, softly guiding him to look at you.
"Accidents happen. I knew it might hurt… you knew it might hurt. We went through with it anyway.” You drag a thumb across his cheek before letting your hand fall to your side. “I don't regret letting you bite me.”
Donnie opens his mouth to protest but you give him a look that makes him shut it once more.
“If this is something your instincts are telling you to do, then there must be some reason behind it all. Just ignoring it obviously didn’t help last time and it won’t help in the future. If I have to get some love bites from you once in a while, I think I’m okay with that.” You say gently, “I know you didn’t mean to hurt me, and even if you do, I trust you.”
Of course, you had to pull out the genuine love and affection, you knew exactly how fast that it takes him to crumble under that kind of pressure.
Donnie sighs, “God, I love you so much.”
He pulls you to him, leaning his forehead against yours.
You laugh softly, “I love you too.”
Donnie maneuvers the both of you so that you’re sitting in his lap, the deep churring starting up again, although lessened from before. You sink into his embrace, enjoying the feeling of the reverberations traveling up through his plastron and onto your back.
Donnie continues to patch you up, going into medic mode so you both sit there in silence enjoying each other’s company. Once finished with cleaning up the bite mark, he places a soft kiss on it and you let out a soft hum.
He warns you before he carefully places an ice pack onto your shoulder, while his other hand traces circles across your other forearm.
Leaning your head back so that it's propped up on his shoulder, you smile up at him.
Donnie is so focused on holding the ice pack to your bite that his eyes only just flicker over to yours before going back to what he was doing. His brows scrunch together as he slowly peels back the ice pack to check for bruising.
“If biting makes you all lovey-dovey, I don’t think I mind it.”
He lets out a huff of breath, that directly counteracts the churring’s volume that heightens considerably.
He wasn’t going to admit it, but he didn’t mind it either.
“Donnie?”
He responds with a simple hum.
“Does this mean I get to bite you?”
GO CHECK THE GAME BLOG!!!!
I finished the title and icon for the game!
also feel free to ask me any questions!!
Got my first ask on the game blog <333 !!!
hi hi hello! what other things can we know about your game? :00 like plot, what's up with the characters and stuff
As for plot, it's really simple. MC missed their train home, and can either waste time waiting for the next one, or try walking home!
As for characters, there's ofc our four boys, but then a secret fifth route that's for sillies. I want to keep most of it a surprise, but I also know I get excited to share little things I've finished. You'll just have to wait and see what gets revealed!
The game takes place a few years after the events of the movie, Mikey being 19/20, the twins 20/21, and Raph 21/22. The name 'Meet'cute turtles' was decided because for now it's more like a different meet-cute with each turtle, and that's it. If I get better with coding and can monetize it a little, I'll definitely add more! The game will be free, though, of course.
Tysm for asking !!
Oh my God oh my god rancher turtles on the far far range oh my god my head is swimming with fit ideas oh PLEASE
God, I love Slime Rancher.
...
Is this a new au?
Maybe.
