Headcanon A: realistic

I’ve alluded to this before, but Allelujah does not know a bunch of really basic things because he’s never lived in a normal environment. He went from the SSI to probably living on the streets to being part of CB. When he and Marie start travelling around, it’s the first time he has to maintain a budget, pick out his own wardrobe with varying weather conditions in mind, or make his own long-term plans. It’s exciting, but also a bit overwhelming at times.

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious

I’ll make this as ship-neutral as possible even though you all know my bias, but Allelujah is absolutely the kind of boyfriend who buys things like oversized teddy bears or those weird fruit-bouquets for his significant other if he thinks it will make them happy. He does not take into consideration, necessarily, the fact that there’s no room in the fridge for the fruit bouquet or in the apartment for the bear.

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends

His name is one of the most precious things he has, but the fact is that, even years and years post-canon, he will absolutely look up if someone says something that sounds close enough to “E-57.”

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.

Similar to Marie and Soma, I like to think that he and Halle eventually get to the point where they basically have a timeshare on the physical body.

Happy Birthday, @haptiisms! Given the new name of your blog, but also all the Tieria stuff you reblog, I thought you might like some headcanons about these two and their interactions!

Early in their acquaintance, the arguments between them (mostly over the morality of proposed intervention strategies) were very one-sided. Tieria would argue his position with calm logic, blocking every single argument Allelujah comes up with, while Allelujah, who ran away from the SSI far too early to have had any formal eduction in such things, just appealed to emotion or attacked Tieria’s character over and over. But the thing is that Allelujah lacked education, not aptitude. So after four rounds or so, he started picking up Tieria’s tricks, but doing a lot better at mixing emotion into the arguments. Even four years later, Tieria doesn’t realize that Allelujah more-or-less learned rhetoric from him.

Since both of them are sheltered in different ways, neither realizes that the other’s coloring is odd until other members of Celestial Being remark on it.

Allelujah wasn’t quite sure what to make of the Tieria who rescued him from A-Law prison. The Tieria he knew before would have left him behind, found a new, better, pilot…clearly, something had changed. He was curious, from the moment he emerged into Ptolemaios II, about exactly what that was.

Tieria is much quieter about it than, say, Milena, but he enjoys seeing Allelujah and Marie happy as much as anyone else. It’s nice to see their laughter chase away the ghost of Allelujah wandering the ship with shadow-ringed eyes, rubbing at wrists just now freed from a straight-jacket or standing alone in shadowed rooms, clutching his head.

Allelujah, in turn, spends a lot of time among the reformed CB smoothing things over behind the scenes for Tieria, who has gotten a lot nicer but still has some issues with sounding vaguely dismissive almost all the time. Tieria is trying something other than blind devotion to Veda; Allelujah figures that he deserves the time and space to figure it out without having to smooth out a dozen interpersonal conflicts.

I hear it was sapphireswimming’s birthday recently, so here’s some headcanons for her favorite Gundam 00 pairing (mostly fluff, with bits of angst):

When they’re kids in the Institute, they spend hours just trying to convey things besides words through their quantum brainwave connection. Allelujah tries to remind Marie of what sensation and movement feel like, while Marie tries to share the faith she feels…and occasionally the lack of sensation, when the Institute’s tests get too awful.

A few of the SSI scientists who are human somewhere under all of the layers of “following orders” think that they’re cute, and work out ways to make sure that Alle and Marie’s budding friendship never gets too much attention from the higher-ups. It makes them feel slightly less guilty about everything else.

Allelujah and Marie are pretty much constantly together in their down time during the weeks after Marie first comes aboard Ptolemaios. Actually, they get a little too wrapped up in just being together and Alle forgets about explaining a lot of what Marie should know about Celestial Being, which causes some confusion for Marie.

Most of CB thinks that they’re adorable, but the most dedicated supporters are Milena and Ms. Sumeragi–the ship’s resident romantic and Allelujah’s surrogate older sister. They’ve been known to run interference for Allelujah and Marie when they’re trying to have time alone.

After the war ends, when they’re travelling the world, they are mistaken for a married couple in the very first hostel they visit. Allelujah blushes and sputters. Marie very calmly answers “Yes, this is our honeymoon.” It takes an incredible number of incidents like this for Allelujah to realize she might be dropping hints.

The super-soldier-making process produces people with gold eyes. Not consistently, not everyone–Allelujah’s fellow escapees seemed to have dark eyes, though only one of them was ever onscreen for very long, and he was only ever in greyscale that I could find. But particularly with the first hundred subjects, the scientists used a lot of different approaches, varying them from subject to subject and some of them in certain combinations did lead to changes in eye color.

Frankly, there’s not a lot of real science behind the idea of changing an already-born human’s eye color (and I’ve already said that I think Allelujah was born before he was taken to the Institute)…but a lot of not-scientifically-possible things happen in this show. And it makes more sense than the show’s two super-soldiers both naturally having gold eyes, with the one who was considered imperfect only having one. Especially when you consider that Innovators and Innovades’ eyes turn a sort of kaleidoscopic gold color when they use their abilities.

The show makes a point of mentioning that Marie is a designer baby, but they don’t say the same about Allelujah. Additionally, even though Marie is several years younger than him (18 in season 1, to his 20-21), she is explicitly stated to be the first super-soldier. This indicates that Allelujah, and probably at least some of the other super-soldiers, were not designer babies, which means that they were born somewhere else and brought to the SSI. The government may have just taken them from orphanages. Or, since the Solar Energy Wars were occurring in HRL territories during the time of Allelujah’s early childhood, it’s possible that some of these subjects were even taken directly from war zones, those being places where the disappearance of large groups of children would go unnoticed and leave no trail of paperwork behind.

Since Kazakhstan, Allelujah’s canonical country of origin, was one of the areas affected by the Solar Energy Wars, I like to think that Allelujah may have been part of that last group, and that he may have even had a relatively happy infancy followed by an early childhood as a refugee that eventually ended in kidnapping. He may even have family in Kazakhstan who believes him dead.

(I may have written a fic based on this)

sapphireswimming said: Do you have any headcanons for Allelujah's time between his escape and recruitment?

There’s a manga panel I remember seeing–Google tells me it was from the Gundam 00P manga, which I didn’t read in full–that involved Hallelujah getting into a fight with some previous-generation Celestial Being people, and I remember him looking kind of feral. I think that my previous headcanon was that CB actually found him on the shuttle, and talked him down somehow, but the manga wiki page is telling me that’s not true, that he at least made it to Earth before CB picked him up, so…

Well, that couldn’t have been pretty. Canon tells us he doesn’t remember anything from before the institute, and all the Institute taught him was how to be a soldier. Even if he’d wanted to use those skills, he was at that point a tiny child–unless he happened across Ali Al Saachez (now there’s a horrid AU for you) nobody was gonna give him money or a place to stay in exchange for doing that. So probably he spent however long that particular gap was on the streets.

On one hand, super-soldier skills were probably useful for stealing food. On the other hand, he probably had little more than his instincts to go on when it came to almost any other aspect of survival. Soma is pretty good evidence for the argument that the “fitting in with normal humans training came last,” and I doubt that the kids were allowed access to books or TV. Those are generally not allowed in situations where brainwashing is being attempted, and that’s what was happening at the Institute. So who knows if he even knew what half of the things on Earth were initially.

Y’know, if this is what happened, it would explain why he comes off more well-adjusted than you’d expect someone who spent his entire life in either a super-soldier-making facility or an armed organization to be. In the flashbacks with Marie, he showed pretty good people skills, so he’d probably end up developing those skills to beg (well, once he figured out what begging was) and negotiate with other homeless people.

The more I examine Allelujah’s life, the more convinced I am that the actual ideal ending of Gundam 00 should have involved him, in a corner, wrapped in a bunch of soft blankets and holding a mug of the warm beverage of his choice.

Allelujah Haptism literally does not know how to cook. He never learned at the Super-Soldier Institute, of course–and once he got to Celestial Being, he was either in space or on missions. So he probably spent most of his time eating pre-packaged astronaut food or MRE’s, with maybe some convenience-store food or things made by other people thrown in for variety. He never gets a chance to pick up the skill, or to even tell anyone that he needs to learn it, until possibly after the war.

On one hand, this is a sad thought, because no one bothered to teach Alle to cook, but on the other hand…it’s kind of hilarious to think that one of Celestial Being’s famous, multitalented Gundam Meisters probably can’t boil water.
