When love is heavy, and difficult, and weighs on you, and is a burden on you. When love is something you carry, something you hold in your hands, something you wield. When love feels like a weapon. When love is a burden you gladly bear, no matter the weight. When you are grateful to carry your heavy, difficult love.

What Chiren thinks about Ido, Vector and love (from the prequel book)

When I mention that Chiren at some point sees Ido as weak, and Vector as the more manly one (that is, possessing qualities like assertiveness, leadership etc), this is what I'm referring to, among others.

Also, wtf Chiren you expected Dyson to do to change Nova's mind?

Like she blames Dyson for their exile because apparently he didn't act like a man, thus sees him as a "screw-up".

Oh yes if he was manly enough he'd just walk into the autocratic leader's office and look him manlily in the eyes and have a manly talk because that's what men do, right.

A:BA Kids AU

AU based on this reddit post of everyone as children:

https://www.reddit.com/r/alitabattleangel/comments/bv89v2/happy_childrens_day_baby_filter/

All the important characters we saw in the movie are kids in this AU, with the exception for Nova, who's a teen.

Everyone’s perents left somewhere (adults only fun) and forced Nova to babysit all the other kids. Nova, not wanting to do so put up cameras all over the ground floor and backyard (so he can see everything), boobytrapped the stairs and locked himself upstairs. The movie happens from the perspective of the kids.

- Alita is Nova’s distant cousin. - Chiren is Nova’s little sister. Ido is their cousin. They're the only ones to have ever been upstairs (in Zalem). Chiren "requesting an audience" with the Watcher in the prequel was her banging on the door of his room, yelling. - Zapan, Gerhardt , Grewishka and Vector are the children of familly friends. - Most of the motorballers and thugs are kids from the neighborhood. - Dead human Alita is a doll. Ido and Chiren used to play house a lot until some bully broke their doll (after they tried to force him to play doctor with them). - Vector is a sort of authority for other kids. - No one is actually a cyborg, they’re just kids playing pretend. - Teen Nova should not ever be left to babysit kids.

I'll post how the movie plays out in this AU in parts.

Part one

Part two 

Part three

Part four

Part five

Part six

Part seven

Part eight

Part nine

Part ten

Upgrade Pt. 1

so thank you everyone who commented about my previous post about my Alita story. It’s basically an AU but it’s based around the movie. I’ve just started reading the magna it’s based and it’s really good too. Of course Christoph as Ido is a lovely gem as well. So I hope you enjoy it and please let me know what you think about it. 

Alita Battle Angel is not mine. 

Ido found himself back in the scrap yard again as usual. They always needed parts no matter what, especially servos. He told Alita to stay at the clinic as he would be back before dark. His case wasn’t too far away as a precaution. He kept watch over the shoot that came from the bottom of the floating city of Zalem. He didn’t want to get crushed by falling debris but he was a far enough distance away that he was safe. He also didn’t think much of it as he constantly heard garbage shifting around. He found a few items that would prove useful. As his bag was getting full he debated on if he should go back to the clinic when he heard a growl. Instinctively, he froze and was very puzzled at the sound. Machines don’t growl at you, unless it’s most likely a mechanical dog. He started to move when he heard the growl again. To his right he heard debris shift again and he thought he saw a blur of movement. The growl sounded again as it was moving, circling him. He decided to make the first move and bolt when something leaped out at him. He grunted as he fell into a nearby garbage pile and looked up.

A young woman was staring at him. Her eyes were an unnatural light blue. Her head was shaved but there was a small layer of hair around her skull. She bared her teeth and growled at him again. He quickly noticed her teeth were more like fangs and her fingers shifted into claws. If she was a cyborg, he had never seen one like her before, but he also noticed something else. She was wearing all black but her clothes were torn and her head was bleeding. She charged at him with a snarl. He grabbed the first thing he could and swung it at her. The pipe hit her head and she yelped as she fell back. Ido was quick to scramble to his case and started putting the rocket hammer together. He heard a rumble and he knew another load of garbage was coming, but that didn’t break his concentration. What did was when he heard a scream. He looked up and saw the woman was clutching her ears and shouting in pain. Maybe something was wrong with her hearing preceptors. Still, that bought him enough time to finish the hammer and approach her again. She saw him and shouted as she charged at him, stumbling through the garbage.

“Wait!” He said holding out his hand. She was close enough to see that her ears were bleeding too. “I can help you.” He said, but then became puzzled all over again when he saw she wasn’t bleeding the cyborg blue blood but rather the human red blood. She leaped at him with her fangs bared and Ido had no choice but to swing the hammer. She let out a high-pitch scream as it hit her in the side and he heard a crunch as she hit the garbage pile hard. She moaned and shook with pain…and fear that Ido saw in her eyes as he came closer. She whimpered as she looked at his hammer before she passed out. A quick scan showed that she was completely human.

“What are you?”

Xxxxxxxxxxxx

“Do you think she’s from Zalem too?” Alita asked as they looked over their new patient.

“I don’t think so. She doesn’t have the mark.” He says as his machines tell him the extent of her injuries. Several ribs were broken along with plenty of fractures all over her body, a lot of which were in her spine as if she had taken a bad fall. Ido tried to stitch up any cuts she had but they were healing right before his eyes. Her tattered clothes revealed at tattoo on her wrist that said 10E. As a safety measure he put restraints on her wrists and ankles in case she woke up and didn’t like what she saw.

“And she just attacked you?” Alita asked.

“Yes, unfortunately.” He sighed. “She’s human…but not like me. The screen says she’s healing her wounds both internal and external. She has traces of metal in her fingers but they’re organic like mine.” He says. Alita poked at her arm, but Ido pulled her away. “Let her wake up on her own. I don’t know what she’ll do in here.” He says.

“Maybe she just got lost.” Alita suggests.

“Perhaps.” He nods. They both look at the woman when she moans and her eyes flutter open. She stares into the overhead light as if it’s an almost comforting sight to her. Ido gestures for Alita to be quiet as he approaches her. “Hello.” He says gently. The woman stares at him. He doesn’t fail to notice that her eyes are now a more human shade of blue. “My name is Doctor Dyson Ido.”

“Doctor?” She says, speaking for the first time.

“Yes, I’m a doctor.” He nods.

“I am ready.” She mumbles.

“Ready…ready for what?”

“Injections.”

“Injections…I don’t have any injections.” He says to himself. He tries a different approach after glancing at her tattoo again. “Uhh..ten E, state your name.” He says giving Alita a confused shrug.

“Subject ten E a.k.a Elisa Prime, humble servant to Nova and Zalem.” She says as if she’s said so many times before. Ido quickly does another scan to double check but it appears that she doesn’t have a chip in her brain. Therefore, hopefully Nova can’t tap into her like he does with his other watchers.

“You’re from Zalem.” Ido says quietly. “What is your purpose?”

“To protect Zalem from the Final Champions of Iron City and prevent further contamination.” She says with disgust.

“Who is Nova?”

“Nova is my master. I live to serve him.” She says with pure admiration. Ido and Alita look at each other again, knowing her opinion is the most opposite from theirs. He decides to try and break the spell she seems to be under.

“Elisa, look at me.” When she does she narrows her eyes at him. She recognizes him. He was the intruder. She growls and bares her teeth which elongate into fangs, but when she does she lets out a cry of pain. She struggles against the bonds as the sounds and smells of Iron city overwhelm her heightened senses.

“It’s too loud! It’s too loud!” She protests.

“Hey, hey, hey it’s alright.” Alita says coming to help her. She puts a reassuring hand on her shoulder. Elisa jumps and looks at Alita. “It’s ok…my name is Alita.” She smiles. Her body shifts back to normal again and she lets out a soft moan of relief.

“I’m not in the training room…I have to be in the training room for the sound tests.” Elisa says. “Where am I?”

“You’re in Iron city.” Alita says.

“What…but…but Nova said my mission was in Zalem. I have to protect Zalem. I have to go home.” She cries in fear. With every word Ido starts to put the pieces together.

“Elisa…you can’t go back to Zalem. No one goes back up there. It’s a rule that’s never broken.” He says gently.

“No, no, no…what did I do? Nova what did I do? I’m sorry Nova! I’m sorry! I’ll be good. I promise I’ll be good.” Elisa cries as tears run down her face. Both Alita and Ido look at her in sympathy. Ido retracts the restraints on her and she curls up on the medical bed crying and pleading to a master that has discarded her and moved on to better servant.

“We are not going to hurt you.” Ido says as he tries to calm her down. “Are you hungry?” He asks trying to get her mind off of her situation. She looks up at him, her eyes bloodshot with tears. She sits up and goes back and forth between staring at him and Alita.

“You’re…not an…invader?” She asks cautiously.

“No, I’m a cyber-surgeon. Alita is my daughter. I am a hunter warrior at night though. Which explains the rocket hammer I used in our first encounter.” He explains.

“I’ve heard of hunter warriors.” She says thinking.

“We just want to help.” Ido says taking her hand but she pulls away and hisses at him like a feral cat. “Sorry.” He says nearly jumping. She looks back at Alita.

“You’re a cyborg.” She says.

“Yes, Ido saved me.” Alita nods. “Are you hungry? Do you like oranges?” She asks. Elisa doesn’t answer as she gets up off the bed way to fast for Ido’s liking. She cries out in pain as she falls over. She lets out a strangled sob as she tries to move but her back is throbbing in pain. Why isn’t she healing like she normally does? “What is it?” Alita asks her.

“My back.” She rasps. She sobs and twitches as Ido picks her up and places her on her side as carefully as he can. He scans her back again and as before the scan shows multiple fractions and swollen disks. He watches and sees small cracks healing little by little. He concludes she has some type of healing capability but being in Iron city is affecting her body. She’s used to Zalem and who knows what kind of terrible things they did to her. Ido gives her a shot of pain medication. She mumbles as she dozes off.

“Do you think she was exiled like you were?” Alita asks him.

“Most likely but what reason, I’m not sure yet.” He says. Chiren or Vector might know more about her story, but he won’t contact them in case they decided they want to take her for motorball. Maybe Nova was changing the game so to speak. He knew they must have tortured her given all the needle marks on her body. She must have been some kind of experiment. A new step in the evolutionary process so to speak. Ido couldn’t be sure.

“What should we do?” Alita asks concerned.

“I don’t know.” Ido says sadly.

Xxxxxxxxx

She woke up again later that evening. Her back was still in a lot of pain so she couldn’t move much.

“How are you feeling?” Ido asks, coming up to her.

“Hurts…” She mumbles.

“I’m sorry. You’re healing, but very slowly and I won’t interfere with that as I don’t want to cause any more damage.” He explains. She only nods. Ido helps her sit up and puts the bed up to support her. “I made you some food.” He says putting a plate in front of her. Despite the food not being Zalem, it smelled very good. Her stomach rumbled a little bit so she started to eat slowly. It doesn’t taste that much different from the food she normal has so she just eats it. She looks around and sees that it’s dark out. “Alita is asleep.” He explains.

“Thank you for the food.” She says respectfully.

“You’re welcome.” He watches her eat for a few minutes before he speaks again. “Do you remember what happened to you on Zalem?” He asks.

“I fought people. They told me I had to be the best…to make Nova proud. That I had to prepare for battle. I had to be stronger, faster, and smarter than my enemy.”

“Did they hurt you?”

“No, they made me better.” She says firmly.

“The experimented on you.” He states. She frowns in confusion.

“I don’t understand.” She says.

“They injected you with things. That’s why you have needle marks all over your body.” He says and gets up. “I took a blood sample and found that they genetically modified you DNA.” He says showing her the screen.

“So?”

“So? That’s illegal Elisa. They hurt you.” He insists, trying to make her understand.

“No! Everything they did…I did was for the good of Zalem…for Nova!” She snaps.

“Nova doesn’t care about you. You’re just a puppet to him. Something probably happened and he moved onto the next test subject.” Ido adds.

“No!” She shouts at him shattering the plate in her hands and making Ido jump. “I am not a failure! I will go back to Zalem and I will beg for Nova’s forgiveness.” Ido wants to protest but decides to keep quiet as he doesn’t want anything else broken. He will let her believe what she wants. She will understand the truth eventually; perhaps it’s better if she learns it on her own.

“Is everything ok?” Alita asks coming downstairs.

“Yes Alita…just a little disagreement.” Ido says quickly to reassure her. He nudges her back to bed as Alita glances at Elisa. She sneers at them. Emotions were a weakness. Weakness will not be tolerated in Zalem. She lays back down and flinches at the pain in the back. Ido can tell the conversation with her is over so he lays down on the couch to try and get a few hours of sleep before the clinic opens.

An Angel Falls. A Warrior Rises. A partial cyborg found in a scrapheap is given a new body and home as she tries to find out more about her past. Meh. Read the manga/graphic novels (the originals at least, still need/want to read Last Order and Mars Chronicle) beforehand and I will say it definitely kept the spirit of the manga, and a lot of the storyline, but again Meh. Visually it was great, the action, the fight scenes, the Roller Ball, but it’s dialogue and some of the plotting was predictable (getting the Berserker body, putting her “in” the Berserker body, the romance, some of the deaths (who, not how)) The 20th Century Fox logo changing at the beginning was cool, a nice nod to the post apocalyptic world we’d be entering. The additions they made (Chiren, the daughter, the IRM, the IRM ship, the flashbacks, Nova talking through people...) were interesting and whether they were from the other two parts of the Alita saga and how that affects the story in the two potential sequels will have to remain to be seen. The hint at Jashugun (of course he was played by #JaiCourtney, of course, though not sure if that’s who I pictured while reading the manga but ok.) - will we get to see him in any of the sequels saying lines from the manga?! 😐🤦🏼‍♀️ I liked McTeague and his cybernetic hounds — yea buddy. (want me one (or more) of them, and Alita’s little mushroom thingy she had at Ido’s) Chiren’s end 😮😮😮 (also didn’t expect for that to be where her character ended up before her actual end...) and Zapan’s ‘end’ - ewww (worst thing in the movie: his stupid goatee - wanted it ripped off ALL movie.) **Read the manga beforehand if you get the chance! #ssmovieof2019 #action #adventure #romance #Gunnm #manga #anime #RoseSalazar #ChristophWaltz (i pictured more of a Christoher Lloyd/Doc Brown...) #JenniferConnelly #MahershalaAli #EdSkrein #JackieEarleHaley #KeeanJohnson #JorgeLendeborgJr #LanaCondor #IdaraVictor #JeffFahey #CasperVanDien #EdwardNorton #MichelleRodriguez writers: #JamesCameron, #LaetaKalogridis, #RobertRodriguez (screenplay by) #YukitoKishiro (based on the graphic novel series ‘Gunnm’ by) director: Robert Rodriguez movie of 2019 number 7) #AlitaBattleAngel https://www.instagram.com/p/BuDW7_RnoTt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qshgqbszh2w7

Dumb thoughts on Battle Angel Alita (2018)

Super late to the party here, like I am for EVERYTHING, but I figured I should try and post more, and this is something that's been on my mind a lot lately.

I do not know how to feel about the upcoming Battle Angel movie.

I know that it's based on an old manga by the same name, which I read, and LOVED. I also have to thank the movie itself, because I would have never even heard of this manga without it. Alita is an incredible, dynamic character who is both a fantastic action hero, and also somebody with a ton of depth and emotion behind them.

But in the trailers, she's presented like... This...

Eyes aside, in the manga, Alita was NEVER like this. She was never doe-eyed or terribly innocent. Even when she was crushing on Hugo, she was constantly skeptical and second guessing herself, and his dream of going to Zalem, even when she tried her best to support it.

Meh, I could go on for hours about that, among other things. Let's focus on the (potential) positives though

THIS, looks incredible. Look at the way she grabs him. That's not a typical grab, she's grabbing onto a cybernetic body part that humans don't have, and using it against her opponent. This attention to detail is great, because that's how Alita ACTUALLY fights in the manga. Using Panzer Kunst, a martial art designed specifically FOR cyborgs, to fight against OTHER cyborgs.

Not to mention, the speed and energy of the shot is fantastic, as well as Alita's expression. THIS looks like the Alita we know and love. A warrior, through and through.

I don't know what direction this movie will take. What I'm HOPING is that it will emphasize Alita and Dr.Ido's struggles. Where Ido, and the people around her, expect her and want her to be a sweet, kind, and innocent. But she finds the quiet life unsettling. She doesn't WANT to be a sweet little girl. She doesn't WANT to depend on others. She wants to be strong and independent, and to be free to feel pride in that.

I feel like, if the movie takes that direction... It could be fantastic, and all their... "questionable" choices could pay off.

... Or they could just fuck it up and make her some "chosen one" and totally screw over the original story. I mean hell, they already ditched Desty Nova (one of my favorite villains OF ALL TIME) in favor of Chiren from the OVA. Chiren seems like a MUCH safer villain for hollywood to use. Driven by typical, villainous reasons that are easy to explain, and the things she does can easily fit into a PG-13 film.

None of those are good reasons though. Just lazy ones to make it all easier for the scriptwriters and marketing divisions. And that's one of the biggest red flags for me honestly. It makes it look like this passion project has devolved from something made out of love, and trust in the appeal of the source material, into something altered heavily to make it more likely to make a profit.

... Eh, but that's cynical... When the movie comes out, I'll go see it for myself. Who knows, maybe I'm just overthinking things. It wouldn't be the first time something departed heavily from the source material and turned out to be a fantastic addition to a franchise.

Short interaction writing requests update

So yesterday I posted that I need someone to request Alita + Hugo short story, and I got messages in my inbox soon after! Wasn't sure if anybody would even read this post so it was a nice surprise.

Also it was funny bc the first thing I saw in my notifications was "Nova and Hugo" so it was like "I am a joke to you" heh. (btw I already have few ideas for this one, I'll have to pick)

There was also Hugo+Chiren and of course the Hugo+Alita I needed.

Looking at my inbox, I'm surprised how many interactions Hugo is going to have with Chiren, lol. But don't worry, I have ideas!

The only character that got only 1 request so far is Gelda, in case anyone is curious. The rest got requested more than one time.

I'm putting those request on hold for now.

When I reopen I might add more characters to choose from!

WHET?! Young Dro Arrested For Allegedly Assaulting His Girlfriend With Banana Pudding

Rapper Young Dro was arrested for allegedly throwing a plate of banana pudding at his girlfriend. Yikes. Details inside...

Rapper Young Dro has seemingly kept a low profile since his spilt with singer Fantasia. However, he's back in the headlines for some foolishness.

According to reports, the "Shoulder Lean" rapper was arrested for assault after he allegedly threw a plate of banana pudding at his girlfriend during a heated argument. The couple was reportedly arguing about money before a whole food fight broke out in their Atlanta-area home.

On July 5th, cops were called to the scene and Dro was hauled off in handcuffs even though his girlfriend decided NOT to press charges. He's now facing two counts of misdemeanor battery/family violence.

So get this, Dro has reportedly been sitting in jail since July 5th because he's being detained over unpaid child support.

                  And they wonder why I aint studden a bih TUH!! I’m too in love wit my damn CHIREN !!! o

A post shared by Young Dro (@1youngdro) on Jul 2, 2019 at 5:52pm PDT

According to legal docs, he owes almost $41,000 in back child support and needs to cough up at least $10,000 to be released from custody. Hmm...his homie T.I. couldn't shoot him that money to get him out? Dro claims he's all paid up and that he's still in jail due to a clerical error.

By the way, the child support case doesn't involve his current girlfriend.

TMZ claims he's still sitting in jail, however, Dro has posted several videos of himself in the studio and performing since the incident. It's possible the videos could have been recorded previously and someone on his team posted for him.

brain has tipped into mania but its the horny mania so you're gonna wake uo to some fun posts chiren

[drabblesfromthegraniteinn]

I already wrote this in a reblog, but I feel like this deserves its own post.

Chiren’s brain being visible in that box in Vector’s office doesn’t ruin the secret of Zalem. It’s a red herring and easily explainable.

Zalemites have fake brains and that’s exactly what we saw in that box. The chip is inside the decoy brain.

The fake brain would show up on scans, weigh as much as a brain with no chip should, and if a freak accident left someone's head open, it wouldn't look empty. Plus, it would serve as extra protection for the chip.
