Plush Heart

martinplier:

(Eeeeyyyy it not Robbie’s Awakening but what should be a one shot unless I wanna write more):

At first, Sean had never been one to play with or even necessarily like dolls, plush, glass or anything. He didn’t like the way they looked, always staring, unblinking with stitched smiles and held together poses. He hated how they looked human yet were so far from the flesh and blood they were made of.

So when his mother gave him a whole box of them, he didn’t know what he was going to do with them. Especially when he found out that they looked eerily similar to him. His mother had told him that she found them at the store while shopping and had gotten them for him because of their similarities.

Sean didn’t like that.

But, he still accepted them and decided to try and give them a chance. Wary and suspicious as he may be.

The first one he pulled out is soft and a plush and wears a blue jacket with a white undershirt and a pair of flamingo covered shorts. Which he found utterly ridiculous. Who would want to wear something like that? The doll’s eyes are a light blue just like his and there is a brown facial hair around its mouth. And, Sean actually quite likes its hair. It’s hair is a light green and he instantly wants his to be just like it. And it’s at this moment that he notices the word stitched out across the shirt which reads: “Jack”. He likes that name. Maybe he’ll name this doll Jack. He also likes how it comes with two more pairs of clothing which he uses as soon as he sees them, ripping the ugly shorts off to replace them with a pair of black jeans. Once that’s done, he sets the doll he’s going to call Jack aside.

The next one he pulls out he has to laugh at. It’s not made of the same material to Jack in the slightest- it seems to be made of glass or ceramic yet still be able to move. It’s glossy surface gleams in the natural light pouring in through his windows and he looks it up and down. This one has a white at mask on and a wide smile. It too has green hair, but this ones is a darker and more solid shade. It wears a blue shirt and black jeans but the only piece of clothing Sean can actually move on it is the long black cape hanging from it’s shoulders. He likes it. It reminds him of a magician, almost.

He sets the magician beside Jack, not yet knowing what to call it.

He grabs one that feels of plastic this time and pulls it out, finding this one to be more of an action figure than the last two dolls. This doll has a cool hat sat upon his head and is holding a small nerf gun in one of his hands, currently angered to be positioned over his chest. He has a large grin on his face. His clothes, a grey t shirt and black jeans, are just like the last one’s- unable to to be removed. His limbs and head can be twisted or angled however Sean pleases, however.

He places this one, having no idea what to name him yet, in the middle of the magician and the one called Jack.

There’s three more dolls left in the box and the one he grabs next is another plush- though it’s not as loosely stuffed as Jack. It’s stuffing is much more firm. Sean smiles when he sees the cool outfit this newest doll is wearing: a red onesie with a hood and everything as well as a cool blue mask that covers his eyes. He even has green hair just like the rest. Though, like the action figure’s, his green is more faded and dull.

With the thoughts of superheroes in his mind, Sean places the red plush beside Jack and reaches in to grab the next doll.

This one is also plastic but as Sean pulls it out he doesn’t think he could call it an action figure. It looks more like one of those glass dolls you place in a safe cabinet for viewing pleasure just made out of the flimsier substance. This one is wearing a long and white lab coat and a blue undershirt and Sean is instantly reminded of doctor’s. It even has on the blue cap and face mask with a stethoscope around its neck. It’s hair is a mix of the two shades of green he’s seen thus far- not being to dull yet not being too deep.

He places the doctor by the hero and reaches in for the last doll.

This last one is like a plush but it’s stuffing is thin. It’s fabric is rough as well and Sean does not like how it looks at all as soon as he pulls it out.

It’s appearance is too similar to the voodoo doll pictures Sean has seen rarely. It sends shivers down his spine as he takes in its black button eyes, it’s stitched up smile and thin neck. It’s head droops because the neck is so thin and Sean can just make out more stitches in the center of its neck, almost like it had been cut there. It has on a black t shirt and black ripped jeans but he thinks they’re supposed to be like that. It’s hair is the deepest and darkest shade of green he’d seen this entire time.

Sean does not like this doll in the slightest. And as he stares at it he only wants to call it one thing: “Anti.” And so, that becomes its name. He none too gently tosses Anti to the ground as though it had begun to burn his hands. It continues to smile up at him. He feels repulsed.

He looks to the rest of the dolls he’d gotten today and smiles, liking them much more than the Anti doll. He gathers them up in his arms and begins to carry them, deciding to take them to his room. He could get Anti later.

But when he steps into his room and looks down to set the dolls he’d been carrying onto his desk, he began to feel as though he was being watched. His head snapped up and he turned quickly, gasping when his eyes landed on the Anti doll he thought he’d left in the other room sitting on his bed, head leaned against the wall and that gross smile only seeming to be larger than before.

Sean ran over and grabbed the doll before throwing it back out of the room, quickly slamming the door. No way is he letting that thing stay in here after that.

If only he could have kept it out.

There are things he began to realize each day as he played with each doll. The magician could actually disappear from the place he left it only to reappear in the same spot later in the day, the action figure can actually shoot nerf darts, he could remove the lab coat from the doctor and the hero can move on its own when he’s not looking.

And Anti will appear in random places in house, smiling up creepily at him. He had even once found it with a large knife from the kitchen.

He really didn’t like the Anti doll.

His favorite still had to be Jack. He loves the name Jack and has begun to want it to become his actual name. Who would want to be stuck with the boring name Sean when you could have an awesome name like Jack? Also, the Jack doll never seems to move unlike the rest of them. He likes this fact.

Each day he will come up with new names for each of the dolls. One day his father took him to see a magician perform and Sean fell in love with the magic tricks including the name of said magician: Marvin the Magician. Inspired, he named the ceramic doll with the black cape and cat mask Marvin and in his little toy adventures he’d always make it where Marvin saves the others with his amazing magical feats.

“Your name is gonna be Marvin the Magnificent!” He informed the ceramic doll, straightening his cape out. “You can do all kinds of cool spells and stuff!”

Marvin stopped disappearing as much as soon as he named it. Maybe to keep the dolls from moving he had to name them.

Well, aside from Anti. But Anti is different.

One day as he’s playing with his dolls, this time all of them, even Marvin have fallen into danger, Sean remembers that one of them is a hero. He lifts the doll dressed in red and grins, egging an idea for a name from Jack.

“You’re gonna be called Jackieboy Man, best hero in the world!” Sean declared, and uses Jackieboy Man to run forward and save the other dolls.

Jackieboy stopped moving too, now. The names really do seem to please them.

Up next is the cool action figure with the nerf gun. One day as Sean is running from his brother he recalls how this little “game” is called chase. Loving the sound of that he goes back to the action figure and picks it up, looking it in the eyes and informs: “You’re gonna be called Chase, the coolest dude around! You can shoot all the bad guys in the face with your rad gun!”

Now Chase isn’t moving or shooting randomly as much. Just one more to go.

This last one is a hard one for Sean to name. It’s a doctor that he normally gives a German accent but he doesn’t really know any German words. He knows French but that’s only because his mom speaks it sometimes when they’re playing around. He doesn’t know what to name it for the longest time until one day as he’s watching TV he hears a funny word he believes is German:

Sachdienlich

Thinking it’s funny but having no idea what it means, he adapts a funny name from it: Schneeple. At first it is only Schneeple until he decides to add stein at the end to make the doctor sound more professional.

“You’re gonna be called Doctor Schneeplestein, better known as the best doctor in the world!” Sean told the doll as he pulls its lab coat back on. “None of your patients ever die cause you always save them!”

After that none of his dolls move. They all stand still how he leaves them until he plays with them and that makes him happy.

Well, all of them but Anti no longer move. No matter what Sean tries, Anti always seems to end up back in his room. He’s tried throwing Anti away, leaving him at school, and even tried burning him in a fire.

The doll simply hadn’t caught fire when he tried. He’d thrown it into the fire place when there were lit flames, but they didn’t seem to touch it. It just continued to stare out at him throw the flames, the terrifying smile still in place.

He never did play with Anti.

He has a best friend named Mark who also has similar dolls to him. The dolls Mark has all have similar features to their owners with slight changes. They always discuss the strangeness of the dolls. Sean even tells Mark how to get them to stop moving. Mark comes the next day and tells him that naming the dolls worked, none of his but Dark or Wilford move anymore.

Sometimes, Sean and Mark play with each other’s dolls. In this little game both Dr. Iplier and Dr. Schneeplestein are trying to help the one doll called the Host with his eyes which always seem to go missing.

“Hey, Sean,” Mark said randomly, breaking out of character. Sean pauses in his terrible German scent and looks up at his friend questioningly. “I made you something. Let me go get it.”

Mark sets Dr. Iplier down and stands, disappearing into his room. Sean stays sitting on the floor to wait, glancing over at Mark’s doll called Dark who is still staring at him. The Dark doll gives off the same scary vibes that the Anti doll does and Sean doesn’t like it one bit.

Mark returns a moment later holding another doll in his hands and Sean gasps. He can tell his friend had made it because of its poorer quality of stitching but he’s already falling in love with it because his friend had made it for him.

“I was out of green hair like the rest of your dolls so I just used purple,” Mark told him as he hands him the slightly torn and bent homemade plushie. Sean takes it into his own hands and looks it over. It does indeed have purple hair. It also has large and white eyes and almost grey skin with a black and white striped shirt. The black jeans it wears are similar to Anti’s, torn but Sean thinks they’re supposed to be like that.

“I love it, Mark!” Sean exclaimed and stands up to give his friend a hug. As he pulls the homemade plush back he notices that an arm had come off. Mark runs from the room and returns with a sewing kit. “He can be a zombie!” He exclaimed his idea. “He does fall apart like one! Yeah, I’ll call him Robbie the Zombie! You know, like the singer?”

“Awesome, dude!” Mark said with a grin and hurriedly sews the plush’s arm back on. He doesn’t do too good of a job and so the arm still hangs a little. “I’m so happy you like it!”

Sean takes Robbie home with the rest of his plushies that day.

His collection of dolls is quite large for a little boy’s. Most of the other boys he knows at his age only have action figures because any other kinds are “too girly”.

Sean doesn’t care. He loves his dolls.

Well, all of them except for Anti.

That one can get torn apart for all he cares.
