#howard claymore

[aroaceleovaldez]

TA discord was discussing what Claymore might look like and we were throwing around the "what if he looks Suspiciously Like Al's Dad" joke

[bvckbiter]

in another life, the exiled trio are celebrating the first day of fall tgt 😔

Trials of Apollo AU idea

What if, instead of Meg, he happened to come across Alabaster Torrington, who is hunting down Lamia to get her to lift her curse on the demigods but instead stumbles upon Apollo and intervenes, thinking he's just a regukar kid in trouble?

Al either impulsively/accidentally makes Apollo his servant, since he has more important things to do than getting involved in godly bs or he does so with the intent on taking revenge on Apollo, but doesn't follow through with it as it wouldn't feel right (from what I read in the Demigod Diaries, I feel like Al would love to get rid of the gods, but would have hesitations about defenseless 16-year-olds).

Then Apollo doesn't stop talking about Percy and Al's soooo pissed.

And then they're both at Sally's apartment and Al is soooo uncomfortable...like he's a demigod and Percy asks if they met before and Al's like "Nah, but I'm sure you're the bomb." (Sarcastic reference to the Princess Andromeda incident)

And them making their way to camp with Percy as their chauffeur...

Not to forget Claymore's randomly popping up from nowhere and does what he does...

Gosh, I would've loved to read that...

STUPID WRATH OF THE TRIPLE GODDESS PREDICTIONS

before the book comes out and ruins my fun.

1. ofc Alabaster is in it

2. The polecat is actually Alabaster and the mastiff is claymore. They were accidentally turned into animals by some curse and they need Percy to do something with the ocean or water or whatever to set them free?

3. Alternatively, Al is the one who puts out that liquid for Grover so that Annabeth and Percy can fail

4. Alternatively again. The whole task is actually Alabaster living through his villain era and everything, even Hecate having them over in the first place, is an illusion made to fuck with Percy by design.

5. Lou Ellen Cameo

6. Using Witch instead of “bitch “ bc children’s book

7. Joke about how Percy wants to just be in college and be an adult already bc he feels like he’s been 17 forever

8. Percabeth bickering like an old married couple and an inevitable comparison of watching after wild animals to them having kids one day

9. Lou Ellen helps them out but gets hurt and Percy has to suffer Al’s wrath for harming yet another one of his siblings.

10. Lou introduces Alabaster to Percy and Annabeth. Al: and I’ll help them…why? Lou: bc I’m in charge of Hecate cabin now and you do what I say Al: I’m sorry, you said cabin right, meaning you are in charge of the Hecate kids at camp correct Lou: oh here we go Al: I’m not a part of camp so it doesn’t apply to me!lou: ugh your impossible

11. Huntresses enlisted to help, they can track animals right? They’re huntresses!

12. Percy saying “what’s gotten his goat?” About Grover

13. Also a revamp of my old predictions:

—-Alabaster encouraging Grover to take up eco-terrorism to help along his duty as Pan’s replacement.

——Percy and Annabeth Save Al’s life and he has to help them because he absolutely does not want to OWE them anything.

Ok that’s it bye.

Chalice predictions here in case you missed them:

[mrsoftthoughts]

I always need more content of the Mortal parents of pjo, like, this people seriously have to raise childrens that depite their looks, we need to remember aren't human and a lot of them don't even know why their childrens are so "weird" and even if we know some gods that probably were there at least the first years, almost all of them are single parents trying to figure out how to raise this kid that they don't have a fuckin clue of where is their other mother/father.

And Then they need to discover that their kid is half god and probably had the mayor mental breakdown because it doesn't matter if they are atheist or believe in other religions, that goes against to almost anything that they believed

And that's just the surface, theres a lot of other things

I mean, we only ge a close up to Demigods born from concensual relationships in the saga, but looking back at some gods historial, i won't discard the possibility of some of them beig results of 🍇 and how the fuck some mortal parents would have to deal with have a child result of that kind of situation

And We have pretty interesting characters here and we barely know something about them, and all this potential is just wasted-?

I mean, just look at Marie Levesque and Beryl Grace, despite that they aren't the Best people on earth for what we know of them, you can't look me death in the eyes and tell me that they don't have potential for building them a past or Characters study

Or what about the parents of the kids that died?? The mortal parents of Lee Fletcher, Michael yew, Castor and all the diceaced characters must be around somewhere, dueling the lost of their child at the hands of a word that of their kids belonged but they didn't

And ofc whe have the ones of alive campers, i mean, just a few of the campers are year rounders, a lot of them come back with their mortal parents at the end of the summer, most of the campers actually live with their mortal parents and each one must had very different dynamics with their parent

And the parents of year rounders aren't least interesting, like, how they feel about having their kid away of them?? Some of them maybe are one of the reasons why their kid's don't come back at their houses after the summer

And also an Honorable mention to the Man that after dieing and being brought back to life as a mist form is the father of a traumatized 16yo war betteran condemned to ostracism: the Dr, Howard claymore, which remids the fact that there must be at least some other demigod has been adopted by a mortal who probably was even more clueless that the kid bio parent

As a summary: The mortal parents are a really interesting part of the world building of pjo and never get enough recognition

[catihere]

What the hell happens to Claymore once Alabaster dies? The easy answer is, obviously, that his soul is let into the Underworld as well, since his existence as a mist form is dependent on his sole purpose, to be a mentor to Alabaster. So if Al dies, Claymore is gone too. But I keep thinking about the possibility of Claymore being left alone, ghostly and utterly purposeless once his second chance to live is wasted. Claymore haunting, living off Hecate’s gift that is no longer of any use to him because the child he was supposed to protect is gone. A dead parent mourning a dead child, but never able to see them again.

And then there’s this sick trifecta of Hecate being immortal, Alabaster being dead, and Claymore being somewhere in between, but never able to connect with anyone anymore. Claymore remains an empty shell; no body, no purpose, no soul. Just a wandering and mourning conscience that desperately wants to nurture someone long gone.

[yonemurishiroku]

AU in which Alabaster C. Torrington meets Nico di Angelo at May Castellan's house as both decide to check on her after Luke dies.

And it's a peculiar sight. May Castellan is still far from sane. Claymore is, well, dead, and alive all at once. Nico and Alabaster are technically enemies still, and yet, at least they are lonely together in a world where no one wants them.

And somehow, the neighbors would see them and think, "Oh, so the crazy lady next door does have a family". And May Castellan would smile, listening to the two children bickering in her living room as she makes the sandwiches.

[localfraudster]

Happy Halloween!!!

He would probably specifically do kinda harmful pranks to the people he didn't like (cough cough, percy and dionysus. they aren't omnipotent or omniscient so how would they know?)

Anyways he loves his mother.

This is his day fr

Why witch when there's vampires (even though empousa are associated with hecate, empousa aren't vampires but alabaster dgaf)

[froggie-at-home]

alabaster can hide food with his magic and carry it around in his cards. it's way better than any fridge, because food is always hot and fresh like it was just cooked. he always has some on him so he doesn't have to worry about getting starved, like he how did before he joined TA.

will was sick and malnourished when he got kicked out of CHB. he was the only medic with good enough training and who could heal at camp since manhattan happened, so he was always overworking himself. his younger siblings weren't great at healing and apollo wasn't responding to them, so he was the only healer that about twenty kids a day would visit. chiron wasn't always here to help either.

so when al found will he was more than happy to share his food. after traveling and staying together at keeseville for months will recovered back to perfect health and was happier than ever, not having to use his powers every minute a day to save another kid who got their head open falling off the lava wall.

bonus: will knows how to cook thanks to lee (who grew up looking after his little cousins and his sick grandma), so alabaster saves up fresh fruit, vegetables and sometimes meat so will can get something ready for them. it's like a coping mechanism to him, something to get his hands busy with when he gets that itch, when his hands get a little too hot.

(al tried to help him cook, but he almost burnt down the kitchen while kneading the dough. even claymore was disappointed.)

[artemx746]

Alabaster: He can be so stupid, which I love, I mean hate! In any case he needs me right now, which is sweet, I mean I hate it and it’s dumb!

Claymore (aka the most AroAce man alive): you lost me

[smartwatermagic]

What do Percy and Annabeth think about Claymore?

So remember how Claymore designed his own house? As a fellow architect, you bet Annabeth was over the moon about it. That is until she learnt Claymore is a minimalist.

She's an avid minimalism hater to me. She thinks it's nice that Al has a father figure to rely on, and may be slightly jealous, but by the gods. She thinks his taste in architecture is terrible with a capital T.

Percy finds it funny whenever he notices a habit Alabaster obviously picked up from Claymore. He also wants to know what does he have a doctorate on because hello??? Overall though, he thinks Claymore is chill, perhaps a little too, offsettingly chill. But chill nonetheless. He feels awkward around the man so he doesn't spend enough one on one time to form opinions on him.

He definitely won't tell Claymore that Paul is giving his books to his students as punishment read though.

PHANTOM AU - (Phantom Haven)

Nico's near-death experience endows him with powers and now he has to be a Savior which means he has to fight phantoms to keep people safe which would be a doable job, BUT that's not the only task of a Savior. He also has to uphold the integrity of the Savior System (ugh),Do good deeds and report them to his supervisor (double ugh), train his Lumen (dead eyed little thing doesn't like to listen to him so...ugh again!) and last but definitely not least he has to dedicate his life to figuring out how to use his endowment to cure a great societal problem... to perform... a MIRACLE TM. (yikes on bikes, no pressure). Will he be able to live up to the expectations of greatness that has been thrust upon him? or will he fail?

Character concepts 1-6 HERE

Character concepts 7-8 HERE

CHIP AU - (No original title yet)

Modern Human AU in which an aimless Nico's life is changed for the better when someone abandons their little baby girl (Hazel) on the steps of the refurbished fire house he now lives in. Years later he finds a little kid named Frank and adopts him as well. Now he just needs to navigate life as a single parent which he is mostly fine with until Bianca tries to set him up with her fiance's best friend (Alabaster). Will this romance stay the casual fling it started as or could it blossom into something more? (Rated M)

NIco with bb hazel HERE

CHURCH AU - (no original title yet)

An AU where Nico sells his soul to save his family from dying, when he meets his untimely death however he finds that Hell is not what he expected, its a quarry, and is he does his quotas, he can ascend the ranks, and even make it to heaven. Each Level comes with its own set of rules. The level right before heaven, which requires Demons to go to earth to collect evil humors that taint people's souls, has the MOST rules. With him being unable to see his family, not knowing what he's doing, and finding out that his childhood friend has grown into a handsome...Preist in training?!? Nico finds that he can't keep the all of the rules straight, especially because he's not. (Rated M)

Nico as a Demon pic HERE

There's quite a few more AUs but the above shows most of them.

(* despite having a name and being capable to move, I think is important to say that sissy is not a sentient being and isn't even alive. All that is more like a very necessary anti loss system )

Finally figured out how to draw Claymore. I sure do love Doctor Sword and his son Rock
