#this would be before he gets yeeted to France of course

"They are going to kill me." Mary thinks to herself. Their taunts follow her into the cupboard she's locked herself in, their voices echo through the aged, worn wood. "The King wants you dead!" A man, his words heightened by intoxication, calls from the other side, the door nearly succumbing to his strength as he yanks the handle. She thinks it's Lord Rochford, and though his words sting, he is right. Her father won't save her. He hasn't saved her since her mother was taken from her, he hasn't saved her since she was forced into servitude. The king wants her dead. Lord Rochford places his weight upon the door, his aunt and sisters laugh and jeer in support. Within a moment or two, he will break in, and then what? I have to save myself. Mary thinks. I must run away from this place!

(Excerpt from my short story in which Anne's court comes to visit young Elizabeth and Mary is made to serve them. In the midst, words are exchanged, which results in a physical altercation and Mary ends up running away, going to the most unlikely person for shelter.)

Hello how are you to day? Good, good. If you can could you do some hetalia headcanons for the main 8 (not including America or including him if you want to) as well as Prussia, Romano, Spain, and Canada that have a American S/O that uses a lot of Meme slang (like Yeet or Salty or Shook or Mood you get the picture) and the countries are just like 'WTF are they saying?!' and because of it they have to try and explain it, Key word TRY. Sorry if this is to long, thanks for read this have a good day.

My day is good, thanks. I think I quite enjoy writing headcanons like this. And no problem for a long ask. Just means you have something more specific in mind!

1p!England

"I am shooketh"

Pardon? You were drinking some hot chocolate, reading on your phone. He'd ask if you were alright. His mind would assume you’re scared, or got shivers from a ghost walking through you.

“Did you just have an Encounter?”

This man is high-strung so don’t laugh otherwise he’ll be offended and get rude. What an absolute brat. 

It’s meme slang, you tell him. “Love, I deal with enough slang on a regular basis. We don’t need any more.”

This guy is vaguely aware as he is exposed to America quite often and he himself is a London aware of changing tides, but he’s then he deems it ‘Improper’ and implores you not to use it too often.

1p!France

“He is being salty.”

He doesn’t know how to take this. That man on the TV is being irritating, but he can’t comprehend what you mean. 

This man is helpless with technology. If you show him the word meme, he will say “mee-mees”. He is uncultured in the ways of the internet.

You explain, and he just nods, but he doesn’t understand. He comprehend, but doesn’t understand. Barely ever.

This man basically embodies ‘old dogs can’t learn new tricks’.

1p!Canada

“You’re such a simp.”

“Only for you.” Awww, Canada, baby. 

Of course he knows. This boy is young in comparison to every other personification and he goes on the internet. 

He isn’t one for speaking in slang normally, only when someones being extra cringe or dissing someone. Boy is cultured but sassy.

He also has a folder of memes. Mostly saved from America, but now he knows you’ll understand them and won’t cringe at him, you will now get them when you’re apart. He wants to make you smile and if memes are the way to get deeper into your heart then so be it. America is literally supplying him with the hottest memes out there for free.

1p!Russia

“Cash me outside, how ‘bout that?”

He recognises it. It doesn’t click in his brain, but he remembers America shouting it at some point. Just like you’re doing because he inconvenienced you. Please don’t fight him.

You can show it to him, but he isn’t all that interested. Internet culture doesn’t interest him. He doesn’t follow trends and only got Facebook because America insisted on making him an account. The dude only has a laptop for work and his phone has basically no app. His highest used is Tetris.

He’ll recognise things you say, but will mostly just give you a judging stare. Or maybe chuckle if you make a fool of yourself.

1p!China

“Yeet!”

Calm down, you’re being way too energetic about throwing that into the bin. 

He deals with all of his siblings at home, and then America at Big Work Meetings. He does not want to have it from you.

This man needs chillness in his life, consistency. He hates hecticness. So you throwing shit and shouting will get on his nerves before he tells you to pack it in. 

Yeah, he’s too grouchy for this stuff.

1p!Italy

“Is this a bird?”

“That’s a butterfly...” He doesn’t get it. He has watched a few animes, that’s what happens when you’re friends with Japan. And America. And Prussia. And also Romano because it’s his guilty pleasure so he may catch on to what you’re saying.

He’ll also understand other memes you say, but he doesn’t find them themselves funny. He just actually enjoys watching your expressions to it and your enthusiasm. 

He works off other peoples happiness, so seeing that grin of yours whilst you imitate gives him the butterflies in his stomach. 

He will try though to pepper some in if you are a user of memes in your language. He wants to pick them up to make you smile. He’s such a cutie-pie UwU.

1p!Germany

“Ah yes, stonks.”

No, these are the finances, honey. They’re not-oh... now he’s slightly disappointed as he looks at you from over his glasses.

Prussia is energetic about his memes, and Germany will often be ‘gifted’ with them. Sometimes, he’ll read through them but often he’ll scroll through them all. His brother spams. Heavily.

You may get lucky sometimes if it’s an animal meme to make him smile, or exhale sharply through his nose, but Germany doesn’t often find them funny. 

Like Italy, he’ll smile if your positively thrilled with it.

1p!Japan

“That is a juicy boy.”

Oh, thank you, s/o. He’s happy you’re enjoying the meal he made you.

He knows memes. This man watches anime. He has every social media account on all platforms. He will smile, he will partake in some fine dining that is the dank meme section of the internet. 

They’re mostly the anime version of a meme. He doesn’t really enjoy edgy humour, and while a Danny DeVito meme about magnum dong is mildly humorous, it just isn’t his sip of tea.

He’ll say memes out-loud in the same room as you sometimes, in that deadpan voice of his, which always makes it ten times funnier. Even his commentary of anime that you’re watching a rerun of will have memes in it. And if you say you’re watching an anime and got to this specific episode, you bet he’ll pull up his neatly made folders on his phone for that anime and send it. He appreciates that you like that type of humour.

1p!Prussia

“That is a sweaty boi.”

Dat boi? Dat boi! Prussia is a people pleaser at heart and a goofball so of course he knows memes. This man has a large following on the internet, he makes a living off people enjoying his content!

As soon as you spill the proverbial bag of you liking memes, he will spam. His line of thinking is often, “Hahaha, this is hilarious. S/o may also find this funny. I will send it to them!” And if there’s one meme on that website with him scrolling hours at a time, you will get sent at least like 30 in an hour.

He will try his darnedest to make you laugh, so you will get a specific meme made about anyone you know too just to see you in tears over it.

“I have an army.” He sends you a picture of England. “We have a Germany.” Yeah, it’s that MCU meme of Loki and RDJ... Sometimes he’s not that funny, but A+ for effort!

1p!Romano

“One does not simply--”

Yeah, he knows what you;re going to say and rolls his eyes. If it’s anything too cringe, he will laugh at you and take the piss. But he will not hesitate to make an edgy or self deprecating meme.

Romano is ‘do as I say, not as I do’ type of person, and also never call him out for his hypocrisy. He will get snooty with you.

But he does enjoy them even though it doesn’t seem like it. He enjoys seeing you happy about them so as long as you’re shameless and don’t take his elbow digging to heart it’s all fine. 

Don’t call him out for laughing at whatever meme you say or send, as he will get defensive and annoyed with you. Imagine edgy teenager ‘I’m not like everyone else!’.

1p!Spain

“Pepe the frog.”

He partakes in a bit of memeing. He enjoys it. He’s got you.

But boy does he like the incomprehensible ones. Where the pictures highly saturated and has a couple of nonsense words put across it not lined up. He is cracking up at it.

Normal ones are fine too, but it’s either Facebook mum ones or weird incomprehensible. No in between. He doesn’t get that deep on the internet to understand the ones with context.

This is the Anne Boleyn rant. Excuse the formatting. The assignment was about seeing if a historical figure was a hero or a villain and it needed to be done in first person. I hope you learn something from this

Divorced, Beheaded, and Died. Divorced, Beheaded, Survived. He’s Henry the VIII, he had six badass wives and I say he ruined Anne’s life. Her name is Anne Boleyn and despite what the history books say about her. She am not a villain. 

The history books paint her as a villain. As someone who seduced Henry to get to the throne and then slept with 5 men, including her own brother. To understand her story and how historians are wrong, we need to go to the beginning of her life. 

Anne Boleyn was born on the 5th of May 1507 at Hever Castle (Or May 1501 at Kent castle. We don’t actually know when she was born due to a lack of records being taken from before 1538). Her parents were Thomas Boleyn, who was the first Earl of Wiltshire, and Elizabeth Howard, Catherine Howard’s aunt, which made Anne and Henry’s 5th wife, first cousins. Guess losing your head runs in the family. She had two surviving siblings. Mary Boleyn and George Boleyn. 

She was sent to Margaret of Austria, who was a noble lady who ran a school for the children of royals, wealthy and influential nobles in 1513 when she was 6. Her father believed in all his children getting the best education he could get for them which led Mary and Anne both getting a similar education of what George received. It was described as a centre of high culture for the youth of the nobility. She was assigned a Tudor tutor to help improve my French since that’s usually helpful when you’re in a French-speaking country, but she also learnt many other skills such as mathematics, dance and music. Because of this education, she was offered a place in the French Court where she joined her sister, Mary.

She was a maid of honour under Mary Tudor, my *sarcastic voice* lovely husband’s sister until she left the French court to marry a lord. Henry was furious and instead of Mary, Anne and Mary served Queen Claude of France. She was surrounded by art and culture at the French Court something when Anne became Queen Consort, she brought to the dreary English court. Anne, from 1514 to 1521 was spent severing Queen Claude of France until she was summoned back to England to marry an English noble - James Butler. This was a political marriage to settle a dispute over land and the title of Earl of Ormond which James’ family wanted. But both families couldn’t agree upon terms of what both families would get so the marriage fizzled out. Another reason for Anne returning back to England was the diminishing alliance between England and France

Anne soon became apart of the court of the royal family in 1522. She became one of Catherine of Aragon’s maids of honour just like her sister, Mary. I know the Tudor times weren’t very creative with their names. Her job as a Maid of Honour was that I helped her get ready in the morning and helped her throughout the day with small tasks. The usual. During this time, Mary Boleyn, was a mistress of Henry. 

When Anne arrived at court she was with another guy, Henry Percy but his dad the Earl of Northumberland refused to support the relationship (And fun fact would actually be involved in the down fall of Jane Gray). So during the autumn of 1526, Henry noticed Anne and decided that he would pursue me as his next mistress and stopped seeing her sister, Mary. 

He sent his first letter that year... He sent 17 letters over the course of 7 years from when he first courted Anne to when they got married that survive to this day. The surviving letters are kept in the Vatican archives. In one of these letters, he asked me to be his official mistress to which Anne said yes. Soon his lust turns into love and he finally decided to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon in order to marry Anne.

He wrote to Pope Clement VII to annul the marriage on the basis that in Leviticus it states “If a man shall take his brother’s wife, it is an impurity. He hath uncovered his brother’s nakedness; they shall be without sons (25:5)” As Catherine was married to Henry’s brother, Arthur before he died. Then 7 years later married Henry VIII. Henry wouldn’t be able to have heirs due to his marriage to Aragon, thus endangering line of succession and the future of England. He so far he didn’t have any male heirs. 

Obviously, if you know history, then you know how this turns out. The pope rejected Henry’s claim for annulment. This lead to Cardinal Wosley getting kicked out since he wouldn’t annul the marriage between Catherine and Henry and a new cardinal was chosen. And the rise of Protestantism in England as England broke away from the Roman Catholic Church in order for Henry to divorce Catherine and Marry me. 

On the 25th of January 1533, Anne married King Henry in a secret ceremony as Henry was still married to Catherine of Aragon. It was small and had the most trusted members of our councils. It was a long time waiting. 7 years it took from us meeting for the first time when to then when they became husband and wife.  

 Three months later on the 30th March 1533, Catherine of Aragon was made Dowager Duchess of Wales and her daughter Mary was kicked out of the line of succession and no longer called Princess Mary. She was now called Lady Mary. Aragon’s status as queen removed. 

Two months later the 23rd of May, Henry and Catherine’s marriage was annulled by the newly appointed Archbishop of Canterbury Thomas Cranmer and Henry’s marriage to Anne was declared valid. Then Henry and Thomas were excommunicated by the pope. 

At the end of the month, Anne was coronated at Westminster Abbey as Queen Consort of England which is just a fancy way of saying though she was queen, she has no real power. There was a four-day celebration to celebrate me becoming queen. During this time, Anne was pregnant with Henry’s heir.  

And on the 7th of September, Anne had a beautiful baby girl. She named her Elizabeth in honour of Anne and Henry’s mother. Elizabeth Howard and Elizabeth of York. Anne was thrilled at the birth of a healthy baby but Henry hoped Anne would provide him with the son he so desperately wanted. 

Anne would never give him son. This caused arguments within the marriage. As well qualities that Anne had which were desired in a mistress were things that were not desired in a wife. My intelligence, my affinity for politics and my forward nature were deemed useless when Anne married Henry. To be replaced by total devotion, subservience and to be seen but never heard.  

Soon, the public started to blame Anne for the tyranny that her husband’s government was starting to implement. She was seen as the person who was to blame for leading Henry down a path of sin as if Henry or any of his advisors would listen to anything she’d have to say about how to run the country. 

She wasn’t a very popular queen among the people who were loyal to Catherine and their catholic faith. And this is solidified by the fact when on the 8th of January 1536 when Anne and Henry we’re told that Catherine of Aragon died they wore yellow to her funeral. (sing along if you know the words…. CATHERINE WAS A MASSIVE-). The two did wear yellow to Catherine’s funeral but it was simply due to the fact that yellow was a traditional mourning colour for Spain, the country where Catherine grew up, not to celebrate that she was dead.

Around this time, Anne became pregnant again. She knew this time that it had to be a son but around this time Henry was knocked unconscious, Anne must’ve been worried that she sadly miscarriage a boy. She had a rapid amount of pregnancies but then miscarriages. Most historians say that Anne had two stillborn children after Elizabeth died. One of them being a son. 

After Henry’s fall, he started seeing one of Anne’s maids of honour, Jane Seymour just as he had done with Anne. Jane became his mistress. Henry declared that Anne seduced him into the marriage as if he didn’t spend 7 years trying to court Anne but whatever. Go off, I guess.

On May the 2nd 1536, I was arrested and taken to the Tower of London to await my fate. In my last letter that Anne wrote, she wrote of my innocence of my charges to Henry and pleaded with him to spare me. Anne was 28 years old. 

In history, she’s considered a villain for apparently sleeping with 5 different men, including her brother George Boleyn. Though there is little proof of this that is actually credible. And for seducing Henry into marrying me which then caused breaking England away from the Roman Catholic Church and creating a huge religious reform that had a history-changing impact and launched Protestantism into the mainstream. And created the Church of England for which Henry was the head of that’s true. 

The only confession provided was by Mark Smeaton, a very talented musician, though it took him being tortured on the rack to say that he was Anne’s lover and slept with her at Greenwich 13th May 1535 (Yeet my birthday) even though at that date Anne was at Richmond Palace (Yes the same Palace which Anna of Cleves was given) which is over 4 hours away. Very credible indeed. 

All the accusations didn’t add up to what actually happened. Apparently Anne was sleeping with Henry Norris, a courtier at Westminster when she  was recovering after Elizabeth’s birth with several eye witness’ and doctors saying she did not leaving my room. But other than those two pieces ‘evidence’ nothing was there. Anne never slept with my brother. 

Regardless of the evidence, 4 of the men Anne  was accused of sleeping were found guilty of adultery and treason as they were also accused of conspiring with Anne to kill Henry. Again there wasn’t any proof for these charges. Sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered by a jury of 27 peers all unanimously saying guilty. 

On the 15th of May 1536, Anne and her brother George stood trial, accused of incest, adultery and high treason. Her uncle Edmund Howard (Katherine’s asshole of a father) and her own father, Thomas Boleyn were apart of the 27 jurors who sentenced Anne to death by saying she was guilty on all counts. George and Anne were sentenced to be executed by beheading. 

Anne was beheaded on the morning of Friday the 19th of May 1536. She was reported to have worn a red petticoat under a loose, dark grey gown. In one last act of kindness, a french swordsman was my executor. He cut off Anne’s head in one slice. It was said that Anne joked with him saying since her head is so small, it will be easy to chop her head off. Elizabeth, would’ve two years old when someone told her Anne was never coming back home. 

Henry announced his betrothal to Jane Seymour that day as well. Not even bothering to come and see Anne die

Just as the historian, yes in the afterlife we can still see what’s going on (And six the musical you're doing great sweetie minus how you portray me. I'm disappointed) Paul Gallico said, ‘You learn eventually that while there are no villains, there are no heroes either. And until you make the final discovery that there are only human beings, who are therefore all the more fascinating, you are liable to miss something.’

Anne was never a villain in history but she was no hero either. She was a simple human being who tried her best with a king hellbent on getting a male heir. And she paid the price for failing to do that with her life.

S3 Rewatch - Episode 4 - “Le garçon qui avait peur du noir” (Clips : “La théorie de l’évolution” / “Sortir ensemble” / “Prince Charmant” )

I’m still doing those ! But gonna do the smaller clips all together because there’s only so many times you can analyze the symbolism of the school courtyard lmao. Ahhhh the memories !!!!!

  Lundi 10h50 “La théorie de l’évolution 

A lot happens in this clip. Alexia says she just doesn’t want to have a threesome because of her bf fetishizing her bisexuality. Imane says guys can’t even satisfy one girl and Alexia hasn’t done her homework (lmao). Lucas gets a text from his mom telling him she saw the Devil lean over him. Fun. Then Lucas more or less picks a fight with Imane. Her answer is harsh ; and in a way it makes sense because it sounds like Lucas is attacking her out of the blue, implying she is a bigot, and from Imane’s POV it’s yet another stupid microagression and she has to defend Islam yet again. But from Lucas’ POV - ouch. He’s acting out on a principle that all religious people are homophobic and so is trying to have a conversation with Imane he should actually be having with his mother. But her description of conversion therapy feels a lot more brutal than Sana’s in OG which had me going hmmm I’m not sure about this. Skam France seems to want to adress discrimination and homophobia more than OG but they do it in the form of ‘friendly fire’ (by their characters of color no less which is.....not good ffs I don’t think it was meant that way and I like Yann’s arc but it is unfortunate). It might have been too much but sometimes I wish they’d found other ways to show it. Also, I don’t like the way they have Imane parallel Alexia being bisexual to Basile’s behavior towards girls. She does have a point about science not having always been friendly towards LGBT people either but the description of people being electrocuted while watching gay porn was like...idk it really disturbed me. I mean it totally happened but I’m not sure it fits Imane’s character to bring that up. This is one of the clips I really don’t like to rewatch even though I understand how it fits in Lucas’ journey. It brings up the past of shame and institutional violence that must be at the background of the consciousness of every day gay person growing up, even if just a little. Lucas is on the verge of making crucial discoveries about who he is as a person and what he wants. He’s starting to understand that he’s falling for Eliott ; that part of him he wanted to dismiss as just curiosity is getting harder and harder to deny and of course he must be thinking about what his mother would say. In picking a fight with Imane he’s basically trying to prepare and arm himself against his mother’s negative reaction, it’s a move that shows his deep anxiety and pessimism. Imane is trying to show him that not being religious doesn’t mean you are necessary more tolerant, but of course Lucas just hears the bit about being gay being useless to nature and electrocution and his face at the end of the clip is just. really painful. ugh. 

Lundi 12h03 “Sortir ensemble”

I don’t have a lot to say about this clip except I remember how relieved we all were after Lucas turned her down (were we done with this plot ? hahaha fools). Chloé starts to show a little self respect and awareness that Lucas is just not behaving like a guy that’s into her should. Lucas looks so down in this clip lmao. 

Wednesday 13h34 “Prince Charmant” 

aka the clip that drove us all completely nuts. Everyone, Lucas included (he’s even put on his nice shirt lol), was so eager to see Eliott again after that earlier text for 13h I remember everyone starting wild theories about how they were going to kiss while painting (welllllllll....not yet lol) and how they would paint raccoons on the wall and would recreate Polaris or whatever. And it was just...;Lucas waiting and then the girls coming in lol. Not much happens in the clip but that’s exactly the point, to make us feel the disappointment Lucas was feeling. It was such a brilliant use of real time. He looks so dejected waiting there alone sitting on a pot of paint and looking at his phone over and over again. 

The girls’ little dance was super cute, and them swooning over Eliott is very gratifying in advance because we all know how things are going to end. Then you’ve got Daphné saying being single is shameful which considering the context of the clip...poor Lucas lmao he’s trying not to be anymore. Manon yeeting out after Lucas is hilarious and she is so on his case. So of course he has to kiss Chloé. Manon is not convinced by this Display of Overwhelming Heterosexuality. He’s really using Chloé here ugh. Just when we thought he was finally letting go on Monday. UGH this clip is just so frustrating and it makes sense that they’re building tension but god. The last three clips give off such a “men ain’t shit” vibe ahahaha - be it Romain, Eliott or Lucas himself ; so the title of this clip is just so extra ironic. These are the last clips before we dive more into the actual drama of Eliott and Lucas’s relationship ; if last week he was doing his last best impression of Straight Fuckboy this week he just looks frustrated and hurt and like he’s doing stupid shit because he’s just...tired, and scared. 

Sounds like someone needs to let go of those fears, huh.

Child’s Play

Chapter 3: Peddler 

The next day, it was all over the news that Hero had defeated Twinkle Town's first supervillain."Well, look at that," Intelligent said, "two more Freaks."

Jennifer, sporting a black eye, was on TV reporting about the incident."...during a Blood Moon. Based on the footage, it would seem that this was Hero's most difficult battle since the day she began protecting Twinkle Town."

“Warned her,” Chaos stated chugging a Dr. Pepper.

"However, thankfully she was on the top of her game," Jennifer continued, showing video of Hero throwing Underling, who had been trapped in a force field ball, far away.

“I should probably go congratulate the duo,”

A call came into the show, and Jennifer picked up. "Well, look at that. Curious already. Hello?"

“Think your make up department is lacking there.” 

Jennifer laughed sarcastically. "Hilarious. It's called authenticity. Haven't you heard of it? Yesterday was a f***ing Blood Moon."

“So? Your friend Hero stated she told you to stay home,” Brutal chuckled.

"That you think I listened is adorable."

Chaos popped up next to her camera man. “I’d cut feed if I Where you. Brutal tends to bring the worst out of people,”

Jennifer scowled. "I still have two minutes. I'm not Hero, @$#hole."

“And you were still live...” As if on cue, Jennifer got a call from her boss.

"We'll be right back after these messages," Jennifer sighed.

Brutal hung up. 

Chaos sighed as she watched Jennifer answer the call.Her boss was furious.

"What did you expect, sir? He literally just insinuated that I was Hero. Who has hundreds of enemies."

“I DON’T CARE! DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY CALLS I’M GETTING OF TODDLERS COPYING YOU?!?” 

Chaos cringed; she could hear it from where she was. Her spy partner noticed Chaos. She was one of the freaks to help with the Grave incident.

"Hi. I'm Jeff. What's your name?"

“Chaos Kin. So you’re Jennifer’s partner?”

"Her cameraman. She and I are the ones the boss sends to cover the dangerous stuff. She's having a special tonight in that vein."

“Sounds like he might cancel it with that mess up.”Something about Chaos told Jeff she might know more than she was letting on. 

"Probably. Still, Jennifer tends to freak when stuff like this happens. She hates Brutal's guts." 

“I can see why. She has her own secrets that she doesn’t want others knowing,”

"Yeah. She's got info on almost every Freak ever to make sure her own secrets stay on the DL."

“Though one is easy to puzzle together if you aren’t brainless,”

"Who she is?"

“Yep. I won’t tell. I try to hide who I was, cause I can never go back to it.”

"Good. I can't tell you how many memories she's erased to keep that story secret."

“It’s safe with me.”

"Thanks," Jeff said, fistbumping her. 

At the chapel, there was a knock at the door. 

"It's a peddler," Intelligent called. "She's selling stuff!"

The woman was allowed inside and put her merchandise, which consisted of stuffed toys, on the table. "I have any doll a child could want here. All found and restored by me."

"Toys!" Jester cackled, flying downstairs with Isa on their back.

Put on the side, farther from the other toys, was an Engineer doll with an Extraordinary Abundance of Tinge. The woman set it up before smiling at the pair. "I see I have interested customers. Take your pick." 

Isa's eyes immediately went to the Engineer doll.

"I see you like this one,” the woman said. “Very advanced. It has what I assume are custom lines for different situations. It even has lines based on what class it sees."

"He looks cute," Isa smiled.

"Just seven dollars," the woman smiled. "He's normally ten, but you're so cute."

"You want him Pumpkin?" Jester asked, ruffling their daughters hair.

"Yeah,"

"We'll take the Engie doll."

The woman smiled, handing it to Isa.

Isa hugged the Engineer doll.

"Howdy," the doll said, "I'm Delly, and I'm yer pardner till the last sunset. YEE-HAW!" 

She giggled. "I'm Isa,"

"Howdy!" Isa faced him towards Jester, and the doll squawked, "MEEH-DIC!"

"Cute," Jester cooed.

"Much obliged, Doc." 

The woman smiled, pinched Jester's cheek, ruffled Isa's hair, and left with her toys. 

A few moments later, Polite was opening the door for Brutal and Gentle. "You seem to have had a quiet night."

"That Hero that Jennifer keeps talking about forced me to stay home. It was like dealing with Grave’s mind control all over again,"

"Ouch. I am so sorry." 

"She sure got mad when you went after her on air," Intelligent commented. 

"Can you blame her?" Spyper asked. "Hero has a s*** ton of enemies, especially after what happened with Grave."

He tossed Brutal a news article. "Did a little research."

"Course you did,"

"She handed Two Face his a** on a silver platter. While Grave was controlling him. I would have, too," Intelligent added. 

Delly's eyes glowed red when he was facing Brutal and Gentle, catching the latter's eye. "Is a doll supposed to do that?"

"The peddler who sold it to us said it was advanced," Spyper noted.(edited)

"I don't like that..."

"You are a coward and a scoundrel!" the doll squeaked.

"... Yeet it,"

"Booo!" Delly hissed.

Meanwhile Chaos finished talking to Hero."So why did you decide to go to journalism?"

"One of very few things I'm still good at after someone who looks exactly like your friend vragged me over."

"d*mn,"

"Aye." Hero spat into a bowl.

Chaos looked down. "Underling wants your number," she said, taking her phone out.

"He is a worthy opponent. Our battle last night was legendary."

"You ripped that from Kung-Fu Panda.."

Hero tilted her head. "Uh..."

"Nevermind. I'll send him your contact info,"

"It takes a lot to hide my identity. I've wiped..." She hesitated, then continued, "Somewhere in the area of 40 memories to keep it safe."

Chaos's phone buzzed again; Spyper had sent a picture of Isa's new doll.

"Cute," She texted back. "I just hope that Underling doesn't drag me into his next big scheme. He's done that before."

"When?"

"Who knows. Underling is that way,"

Hero drew her sword. "Thanks." 

Meanwhile, Delly was still staring at Brutal and Gentle as if attempting to intimidate them.

It was at least working on Gentle.

"Aw," Spyper teased, "scared of a few scraps of cloth?"

"It's staring me down like it's possessed,"

"Advanced doll probably has access to criminal records,” Intelligent noted. “In which case it probably wants you gone."

Gentle gulped. "It can leave then, I live here."

"You're a looooong way from France, boy," the doll said.

Isa noticed it speaking. "Hey Jessy, why is Delly being mean to Uncle Gentle and Uncle Brutal?"

Intelligent looked it over. "It's only doing this to the hostile Freaks. Perhaps it's a protection mechanism?"

"Maybe.." Isa held the doll close.

The doll's eyes turned blue.

"I've seen animatronics with a similar function. Maybe its made with the same kind of programming?" Jester suggested, patting Isa’s head.

"Much obliged, Doc," the doll said.

"Makes me think of FNAF to much, I don't like it," Pancakes stated looking in from a window. 

Delly stared at Pancakes, and one eye turned red.

".... Looks like Chaos a bit,"

"It does, don't it?" Jester said, patting the dolls helmet.

"Well, don't that beat all?"The doll turned back to Brutal and Gentle, eyes both red.Its smile widened as Gentle averted his gaze.

Sky full of star: Chapter 1

Summary : Kathleen Hunter, 23 and a redhead is a daring and an ambitious flight attendant who wants to travel the world. But when her jobs brings her to a new love and brings back an old flame, what will Kathleen do?

Warnings : none actually, cringe probably, swearing later.

There might be a few spelling mistake since I posted this at like 1am yeet

Word count : 1615 or something

So here we go oof

CHAPTER 1

Never had she hated her life more. Her alarm didn't ring and she had already stubbed her toe on that darn bedside table. Ouch. She really couldn't  afford to be late today.Sighing deeply, she checked the time. Today was really important for her,  because if this flight went well, her career would really take a jump. Being a flight attendant was definitely not an easy job. She had to deal with rude passengers and crying babies. She looked at herself in the mirror, biting her lips in criticism. Her strawberry blonde hair were a mess but there wasn't enough time to do a decent hair style.

Kathleen would never believe anyone whenever they complimented her on her looks, because having been called plain and boring by her mother for 23 years, it was hard to believe anything else really.

But when someone else would see her for the first time, they would notice how the  loose tendrils of her silky hair would cover her face and how her alluring blue eyes would peek out and how they would shine brilliantly when her pink lips uplifted to form a sweet smile.

Putting her hair in a quick messy bun, she got dressed and grabbed a coffee before leaving. She quickly reached the bus stop and waited, tapping her feet constantly and after every two sips, checking the time. Lost in her thoughts, she didn't notice a group of suave business men and women heading towards her  when suddenly "BAM!". A young man talking to his colleague bumped into the frowning woman. At this sudden motion, Kathleen stepped back, dropping the hot coffee on her uniform. Now this really was the cherry on top of an already bad day.  She crossed her arms, glaring right into the brown eyes of the fair young man, "Excuse me, are you actually freaking blind? You've completely ruined my day AND my coffee!"

Taken aback, "I apologise for the coffee but this is just as much your fault as it is mine" the man huffed, his brows creased. This only infuriated Kathleen more and she was more than ready to retort back,"Hah! You- " when the woman next to the man interjected,"David we really don't have time to argue with random people on the street, you're getting late!" and with that they all moved forward with David looking over his shoulder and scowling at the woman one last time, muttering, "God what a horrible start to the day."

Having finally reached the airport, Kathleen quickly changed into her second set of uniform and did her make up before getting on board the flight.

As tiring and exhausting this job was, Kathleen really did love being a flight attendant as it was the only way she got to travel the world. She'd been to France, Germany, Italy, India.. the list goes on and on.

She had met people who had impacted her life throughout her journey and she was excited for her next one and if this went well, there was going to be a sweet sweet salary bump for her.

Having helped all the passengers in the economy section feel  comfortable, she moved to the business class where she finally got a chance to talk to her  best friend, Tracy Sawyer. Tracy smiled brightly at her as she walked towards her, "Omg, are you excited?! This is your first flight with you in charge!! You are so going to kill it!"

"Wow you have way more confidence in me then I have  for myself." She chuckled in reply.

"Okay first shut up, you're definitely getting that raise and second you have got to see that hottie in first class, single and wohoo he is a snack!"

Raising her eyebrow, "Don't you have like a boyfriend Tracy?" She questioned.

"God you are so dense, Kathy he isn't even my type, I was talking about you! You've been single for like 8 years!"

"3 not 8!"

Tracy rolled her eyes in reply, "Whatever you're serving first class today! See you around love! First seat on the right" She said winking at Kathy and moving to the next section.

She would be lying if she said she wasn't  even a least bit interested in checking out this so called handsome single man. She took a deep breath and walked right into the first class section and with a bright smile turned towards the right side, " Good morning and thank you for choosing Blue sky airlines, how can I help you today?" She lifted her eyes and that's when her smile faltered. They were the same brown eyes that had glared right back at her in the morning.

"You- it was you at the bus stop wasn't it? Screaming at me?"squinting at her with his lips pressed

" I-i act-" she stuttered.

" Do you know that I am the CEO  of  Timetrend?"

Wide eyed, her breathing became rapid but she could not speak.

"This is an interesting turn of events" with a smirk on his face.

At this point Kathleen composed herself, "Sir allow me to apologise to you profusely, I truly am very sorry." But let's be honest, they both knew she wasn't.

"Well I guess you can make it up to me by getting a glass of champagne or is that too much for you?"

Biting her lips to prevent her from making the situation worse, She replied, "right away sir."

She cursed Tracy severely in her head. And to make matters even more abominable, there was only one first class passenger. And he was a pain in the ass.

He couldn't believe his bad luck, imagine having the same clumsy woman as your flight attendant. At least here he had an advantage, he could order her around completely although he wasn't actually that cruel. He was having a hard time  trying to control his laughter looking at the flustered girl who was so composed before.

As much as he tried to distract himself, he was extremely bored, he had finished all of his work so that he could spend time with his girlfriend on the flight. Well Ex girlfriend now since she broke up with him yesterday. He was upset sure but not heartbroken. He didn't really love her and she probably didn't either although she tried to but the effort was only one sided. He didn't have time for relationships. He was a busy man after all.

He tried to sleep but he just couldn't. He heard the sound of her heels and guessed that she was making the rounds again. He sat up straight and decided to order another glass of champagne, this was a long flight after all.

" Do you need anything sir? " She questioned, still afraid to meet his eyes.

"Yes, I'm bored."

At this her eyes shot up, with eyebrows raised but she quickly hid it with her normal smile

" Well we have a wide range of movies, if you'd like. We also have mag-"

"No."

"I'm sorry?"

"I mean no, I want to have a conversation. Tell me something about yourself."

" Are you drunk sir?"

" No of course not! Who gets drunk after two glasses of champagne?"

" Well okay, what would you like to know?"

"For starters, tell me your name."

And somehow, to both of their surprise, they were able to keep an interesting flow of conversation going without any awkward silences or anything of the sort and soon they were laughing like old friends. Well actually Kathleen was laughing, the closest David came to laughing was giving her a genuine smile. Soon Kathleen returned to the other attendants for the rounds, returning soon enough to first class, with smirking glances from Tracy.

"Kathleen, might I ask you why did you choose to become an air hostess? You don't have to answer." He added cautiously

"One  call me Kathy, I actually do not like Kathleen at all.

He chuckled slightly taking a sip of his drink

"Two it's not really complicated. I mean I didn't always want to be an attendant. I wanted to  be a pilot. But you know financial issues."

"Oh. Yeah I get that"

There was a comfortable silence between the two before Kathy had to leave again.

"We'll be landing soon, so I'll take your leave." She smiled at him warmly. There was something so innocent about her smile that he couldn't help but smile back.

She got up to get back to her seat with Tracy when a sudden turbulence caused her to stumble forward but before she could hit the floor,a pair of strong hands grabbed her waist and prevented any accident that would end up with her having a huge boil on her head. She felt her heart pound as she looked into his brown eyes slightly converted by his brown hair for what seemed like 10 minutes but was actually 5 seconds? She was being ridiculous! She shook her head and smiled at him,thanking him and went on her way avoiding eye contact.

-----

He really couldn't help but smile at her and he was pretty astonished about himself. They were getting ready to descend, when there was a slight tremor and he realized that it had completely shooken Kathy and she would probably fall down but before that he grabbed her firmly by the waist and immediately stood up. He didn't know what happened but something in her blue eyes pulled him towards her. He saw a strand of her glossy red hair on her soft pink cheeks, he was having  a hard time fighting the urge to tuck it behind her ear. He didn't even register the fact that he was staring at her before she blushed and pulled away. For the first time in his life, he felt flustered at the sight of her. He probably was just tired. Hopefully.
