Help I forgot it was Pride month!! I drew victim earlier and posted it without really thinking about it- but uh… they’re nonbinary 🥺 uhm… I use he/him cuz I don’t want to confuse anybody but yk… RAINBOW MONTHHHHHHHH!!! You guys will understand 🙂‍↕️

This is specifically for beta Donnie only! Donnie in every other au is straight 😅 the reason Victim is different is because… this is genuinely what Donnie was like when I first made him🌚 he was a background character with no gender or story or soul (hence why I didn’t give him eyes) andddd today I made the decision that they transitioned from female, why? Cuz when I first started putting a gender on them I saw them as female… my sister is the one that convinced me to make them male, cuz well, she just saw them that way🤷‍♀️ I mean I’m glad she did, I love Donnie 😀 but Victim has a completely different charm ✨

@shadieblaze, uhm, this is the aftermath of Donnie's LAST fight with Wally 😅

Some context... Wally was going after Donnie AND his siblings, but Donnie ran and his hid them and kinda got stuck in a fight with Wally. The siblings was in earshot and well, when Donnie got quiet, they just had to check up on him. A shame... They've always been Wally's biggest fans! In fact- that's one of the main reasons why Donnie was made at all!

Lol look at this REALLY REALLY old drawing of them :D It might actually be the first time I drew them... 🤔

Hey hey hey~ who wanted more reboot Donnie drawings!!!????? 😆😆😆

....

I can't hear you!!! 🤭 alright just have these I know you're all just begging for them 😁😁😁

Undercut is heights and an explanation of what I just drew😅

I was thinking about reboot Donnie a bit more, you that he basically can never take off his shirt right? This is cuz he CANNOT allow Wally to see the heart he has on his chest! Cuz then Wally will be like "wait what the hell? You're like me!" and that would end really badly 💀

soooooo the first two drawing are just concepts for a beach day episode- Donnie likely never learned how to swim cuz the only time he gets to be around a body of water is when Wally is around...

Also the third drawing... I wanted to draw Donnie more like how he looks in my head- I realized I have done you all dirty by ONLY doodling him. the people I showed this too were all surprised by his body type BECAUSE I NEVER FREAKING DRAW HIM PROPERLY!!!! so uhm.... My bad😔

Also! I had have like 4 people ask me how tall Donnie is (which I responded to) but that got me thinking there are some others that also want to know his height! So I drew you this! I draw all the other neighbors around myra's and Donnie's height, they're not necessarily "really tall" Wally is just outrageously short🙂‍↕️

Let me remind you all that it is you that gives me the courage I need to draw him at all, I love Donnie a lot so I tend to keep him safe and secret in my arms😅 but I love talking about him and drawing him and seeing you guys like him just as much as I do!!!! So thank you!

I've been forgetting to credit @c0ffingrlxoxo for the reboot au, oops 😅

REBOOT DONNIE LORE DUMP!!!!!

@kitsipher, @helenlenich, and @solemni... I uhh want you to know that you guys gave me the confidence to post this here- I always wanted to but I thought nobody cared about Donnie let alone his Reboot version... and worse, I would thought it was extremely cringe 😖

SOOO THE LORE WITH SOME CONTEXT!

The reboot au lore is that welcome home was rebooted after og Wally did something horrific and got the og show cancelled. Reboot, the new Wally for the reboot show, was made with ink from the og set which is slowly driving him insane.

Donnie comes around this time!

The Boss has a few problems he needs to solve, and Donnie is the solution to all of them!

Problem one. Wally is having blackouts and keeping secrets from the boss, so the boss needs a spy.

Problem two. The show is dipping in views, so the boss has to spice up the show.

Problem three. The shows main investor has two kids that REALLY want to be in the show whenever they want! So the boss needs to make them characters that can insert themselves whenever they want.

And so Donnie was made with the same ink that made Wally!

How Donnie fixes problem 1: Donnie is part of the main cast! He can spy on Wally when he is on set, at fan meet-and-greets, and when he is off set! Donnie is supposed to report odd behavior to the boss and make sure others don't see it!

How Donnie fixes problem 2: Donnie is a fresh new face! He's basically Wally's biggest OP in a silly competitive way, always trying to prove to each other who is better!

How Donnie fixes problem 3: Donnie gives the two kids (I've been calling them Lenny and Penny) the opportunity to come onto the show as Donnie's younger siblings! Sooo, Donnie was MADE with a brotherly love for them. Donnie was designed after them as well!

Since Donnie is spying on Wally, Donnie can't tell Wally that he was made the same way Wally was (by the company with the ink)

Wally does eventually go crazy to the point of murder... And Wally is especially angry with Donnie. Wally had found out that Donnie was a spy, that Donnie has been the saboteur for all relationships Wally attempted to make... And that Donnie knew of the abuse Wally had to go through by the boss. (Donnie ligit a fake friend💔)

So Donnie AND his siblings are top on Wally's hit list💀 but obviously Donnie loves his siblings so that ain't gonna happen do worry~ I mean- Donnie isn't going to win the fight but- at least he saves the kids👍

This is what I have for you so far! I have more comics with them that I want to show you! I don't need this to be popular, I just hope that the few that do bother reading this like it just as much as I do :]

[purplume]

Heheheh my first attack!!

For @kitsipher!

I love the color palette of this one so muchhh!!!

This comic has nothing to do with art fight! ↓

[purplume]

Hehehehehe a lot of priest donnie stuff 😇

Idk- a lot of reflecting in the holy bathtub 😀

Uhmmmm there's a lot of ship art with donnie and @mitsri-mi's oc, solemni, buuuuutttt he's actually very lonely in the actual lore 😅

unlike in most AUs donnie is in, Priest Donnie was actually born and raised in Home (the neighborhood!)

I imagine that the neighborhood is a lot bigger then in the og, so there's schools and stuff! And the whole neighborhood revolves around the church Wally runs, Worshiping Home!

Soooooo! Donnie is 17ish and therefore lives with his mom! Donnie has perfect attendance at school and the church, he's a good kid(𓂂꜆◕⩊◕꜀𓂂)

buttttt then, Donnie's mom starts expecting- IT'S THE TWINS YIPPIEEEE!!! And sadly it doesn't go well, cuz she gets extremely sick because of it 🌚

soooooo to help out, donnie gets a full time job at the church! For the most part, it works the same as any ol' church job, buuuttttt on top of it donnie is constantly put through test and trials to prove his faith~ Come to find out Home lives in the basement of the church and he requires frequent blood sacrifices from the church members 𝘰𝘳 Wally kidnaps someone! 😃

A unfortunately, the mom and twins don't make it, despite his devotion to the church... Which has him grieving really hard and become completely dependent on the church for EVERY PART OF HIS LIFE. Then Myra is supposed to move in, donnie learns that she is Home's next meal, and donnie can't stand the thought of another dead body Sooooooo he tries helping her leave the neighborhood. is too emotionally tied to the church to want or even think about leaving with Myra😅 Wally doesn't like this at all, he betrayed the church, and Home IS still hungry🤔

bye bye donnie 😔💔

Heheheh alternatively donnie gets to marry his special one, of Home's choosing of course😶 donnie would be extremely grateful and happy to follow Home's plan! Uhm... Very happy...

I've been interested in one question lately (or rather 2) Donnie's mob au: does he gamble? If so, is there any chance that he could get into debt and add to the problems of Wally's mafia family?

Well he does like to gamble but he keeps it to himself and especially, to his own wallet. He wouldn’t dare mess with the family’s finances…

It’s a pass time of his, usually he’ll do it with Sally and Barnaby since they’re the only ones who are daring enough (and good enough) to play with.

Sooo I like to imagine he has a deck of cards in his little pocket whenever he knows he’s gonna be waiting around doing nothing. He’s knows a lot of card tricks just cuz Wally likely doesn’t allow them to do much else at work… which is basically 24/7

Im tryna make reference sheets for the aus- it is so unbelievably slow to do- take this old doodle

I was on magma yesterday and drew BETA DONNIE or as I used to call him, Victim. I'll tell you more about him here🙂‍↕️

Soo he originally wasn't meant to be a whole realized character... Just as his name suggests, he was meant to be the victim for whichever scenario I wanted to draw, For example here! The first time I ever drew him-Eh... Her? (I'll get to the gender part)

Yes... No name

This lack of identity he has going on means that he has no gender, no name, no age or even his own personality... So when I eventually wanted to make him an official character I made it so that people simply never learned about him...it's sad🥲 for the beta au, lore wise, I gave him a female puppeteer (cuz in the beta au we know that every character has a puppeteer) also, even tho I call him "he" please feel free to use any pronouns~ I always change his gender anyway 🤭

Victim (as in every other au) tries to save Myra from the neighborhood once he learns what it really is~ sadly he's more passive and cowardly then Donnie in other aus. Where Donnie would just fight and run.. Victim is too scared to, tho he does try to ask for help or at least warn others.

The difference between Donnie and Victim is hilarious to me 💀 drew these yesterday

Thanks for reading~ good bye my little dumplings!
