Would you write a story about maybe Lou and Mandy bonding somewhat, pre-redemption? Maybe they reminisce about their relationship from before the Uglydolls arrived

The tape between her glasses wasn't holding up in a way that made it a permanent solution. She could feel a gap forming in between where the tape was gradually losing its adhesive. The subject of her glasses came up during a conversation with her friends while aimlessly wandering around in her salon. She was getting everything ready to open it that morning.

"Why don't you get new glasses?" Moxy asked as she tested the metal bar of the chair. It pushed up quickly and she found this to be entertaining. Uglydog hopped into the chair with her and LuckyBat pushed up and down on the bar to bring them up and down.

"Because I don't know where to get them at." Lies. She didn't know where to go but she knew who to go to. It wasn't an appealing option.

"Where'd you get those?" She followed up with another question while they played.

That one had Mandy hesitating for a second too long. The Uglies paused in their newfound toy to focus on her. She fiddled with the hem of her skirt, not making eye contact. "Lou made them for me."

Silence.

"Oh, like, someone named Louis? Not like, Lou Lou, of course."

"N-No, I mean Lou."

"He knew this whole time you needed glasses?" Moxy asked in a weird mix between a statement and a question.

"Yes," Mandy shrugged. "I just...didn't want you guys going around and telling the other dolls. And the robots are usually around Lou, so...I didn't want you saying anything to him. No one else knew I wore glasses."

"He knew you weren't perfect," Moxy couldn't wrap her head around it. None of them could, by the looks on their faces.

"Yes," Mandy sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose, "but...that was back before he started keeping secrets. Before we both started keeping secrets." She muttered the last part.

"Secrets?" Now they were invested. This was like a hidden story that had yet to be uncovered. A different side to Lou? An unknown friendship between Mandy and him?

This was the moment where she started venting, lost in the memories. She started pacing, staring at the ground where she walked. "Yeah, like, for some reason he never told me he was a prototype. Which is-- I don't get it. Why couldn't he tell me? Did he not trust me? We were friends! I told him -- well, he figured it out -- that I needed glasses and he magically made a pair the next day. A-And whenever he got lost in his thoughts or depressed I was always there for him to talk to. But not once did he mention being a prototype! He didn't tell me he was stuck here. It just seems weird that he would open up about other things but not-"

"Wait, wait, wait," Moxy hopped off the chair, holding her hands up, "you mean to tell me that you and Lou were actually friends? Like for real? It wasn't some manipulation or gaslighting tactic?"

"No, it was real. I think it was...," Mandy held an arm, trailing off as she considered the alternative.

Moxy didn't look convinced. "I think he was tricking you."

"Yeah," UglyDog shook his head, "there's no way he would genuinely be friends with anyone. Not even Ox."

"Right," Mandy pursed her lips, eyes trailing to her feet. A part of her had earnestly believed they were friends. Maybe more than that. But...maybe he had been tricking her the whole time. It was just another lie. Another secret that he had been harboring.

Moxy must have seen the disheartened look on her face, because her own expression softened a little. "I'm not saying it was impossible...but Lou's not exactly...well...someone I would think of as a friend. Not without strings attached."

"Yeah, no, you're probably right." Mandy averted her gaze and went back to one of the styling stations. "Knowing Lou, he probably just wanted my trust or something like that. My adoration." Mandy rolled her eyes, trying to play off what she was mentally thinking. The problem was that she did know Lou. They had been really close friends.

She had gone to his office multiple times before, in the middle of the night, because she knew he would be there passed out over his desk in what would surely make his neck sore the next morning. She'd put his suit jacket over his shoulders and turn off the lamp at his desk before closing the door behind her and heading back to her home.

She'd walk with him around the Institute for hours. The two of them would talk about anything that came to mind. It was obvious he was desperate for some kind of interaction. He was lonely. That much was made obvious to Mandy.

And, looking back on it, the vague "friend" he always referred to that had left him was Ox. She knew about Lou's side of the story, and a part of her was certain that she was the only one that did.

Honestly, to see him get tossed in the air that night and sent off to the washer...she felt like she'd betrayed him, too. He had looked at her with those pleading, heartbroken eyes when he begged for mercy. Despite what he had done to her in the pipe, and what he had been planning on doing...she still felt like turning her back on him had been the wrong choice.

She had tried to convince herself that he deserved it...but something about the look in his eyes still hurt her. After listening to him for two years and being his closest confidante...she could understand, to some extent, why he went down the path he did.

The only reason she had even stayed at the Institute for that long, unlike the normal four or five months, was because of Lou. She had merely told him that because of her poor eyesight, she didn't feel ready to run the Gauntlet. And he had bought it.

She stayed for Lou.

____

Mandy had managed to get the conversation in a different direction for the rest of the time. And while her mind still lingered on what they had said about Lou, she maintained the facade that she had been unbothered by it.

Because it really shouldn't have bothered her.

It was just difficult to keep thinking that when she was walking back home that afternoon, the tape of her glasses just barely visible in the corner of her eyes. The sharp corners where the tape folded over itself to stick was scratching her nose a little.

She wasn't going to ask Lou how he got these glasses. She wasn't going to ask him for a favour. Be it pride or whatever else, she refused to do it. She'd just have to fix the ones she had somehow.

Because maybe her friends were right. He was manipulating her that whole time, maybe to get her to stay. Or to be like the Spy Girls and do his dirty work when it came to getting rid of imperfections.

Lost in those thoughts, she nearly steps on the object in front of her door. She lifts the toes of her shoe up to avoid doing so, looking down curiously at...the pair of glasses.

Face pinched in confusion, she bends down and picks them up. They look identical to the ones she's wearing now. Obviously aside from being broken. Tentatively, she removes the glasses she's wearing and slides the news ones onto her face.

They're perfect.

Mandy can't help the small smile on her face as she adjusts the new glasses.

Maybe their friendship had been real.

Lou in Wonderland AU✨

Welcome. Part 2🎩

Give him a breath, he is proccesing a lot-

Five years in this fandom, and just now I learn how to draw the Uglydolls xD On top of that, how to dress them with a pretty basic Wonderland theme

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SUPPORT THIS LITTLE THING IS HAVING. I MEANS SO MUCH ❤❤❤

Prev / Next

[toad-in-a-trenchcoat]

Youngins out past curfew, frolicking a bit

[alldollsgotoheaven]

Wait, I just thought of the craziest thing.

Each doll made in the Factory has a human that they've been specifically designed to be with. Example: Moxy's human has a pink color scheme like her, she wears a flower headband which is like the flower in Moxy's head

She has a missing tooth like Moxy

And she also has a notebook like Moxy.

The dolls are made to resemble their owners, in appearance and personality.

This may seem weird when you think about how the UglyDolls weren't meant to exist, and were originally meant to be thrown in hell the Incinerator.

It could be labeled as a coincidence, but... that's a really good coincidence, isn't it?

So here's my theory: The original eldritch abomination(s) that created this operation had intended each and every doll created in the Factory to be made for a human. This includes the UglyDolls, who weren't labeled as mistakes back in the day.

But then, I guess, the Factory got under new management. So the new eldritch abomination(s) that run the Factory saw the UglyDolls as mistakes, and reprogrammed the scanners to send them to hell the Incinerator.

Of course, they weren't aware that Ox blocked up the entrance to the Incinerator, so the UglyDolls were instead directed to the ocean.

---

Alright, Part 2

Lou is a prototype, so he was not meant to have a human or leave the Factory.

Ox is a factory mistake, who was never meant to exist.

What if one of the eldritch abominations that runs this shit sensed that Lou was lonely and wanted his own companion, one that won't leave him like the other dolls, so...

Ox was purposely diverted into Perfection for that exact purpose?

Of course, Ox wasn't specifically made for Lou, but the eldritch abomination figured that Lou was desperate enough for a friend who won't leave him that he'd accept Ox. Which he did. Until Ox wanted to go to the Big World too. And it all went downhill from there...

Also, I'm assuming that the new eldritch abomination(s) didn't know that the UglyDolls could go to the Big World, since they see them as mistakes. Lou knew that all dolls in the Factory could, cause he's been around longer then the new abominations running the Factory.

Alright, enough mad theory rantings :p
