DIVERGE

Been really into @starrixle clordisite au- made this based on that one panel from the boys comic. Please check out his au if you’re into horrific things happening to tord specifically.

Plus this one idea I brought up to him for how the au would end lmao

Original inspiration under the cut

CLONE DECAY

clone decay is a process that affects all clones and is the main reason for their short life spans. however, decay can be prevented through clone feeding.

clone feeding is when cells are extracted from the host (the person the clone is based on, often referred to as the source) and consumed by the clone. it does not matter how a clone is fed as long as the cells are absorbed into their body.

clones must be feed regularly, either in small amounts daily or in larger amounts once a week. clones cannot produce their own cells, as they are composed entirely by their source's cells. while regular food can be consumed, it does not prevent decay.

CLONE VARIATIONS

some clones may view themselves as completely separate beings from their source. they'll usually give themselves a new name and make themselves as different from their source as possible.

other clones may view themselves as if they are the original person, usually refusing to acknowledge that they are just a copy. this can lead to tension between a clone and their source. in extreme cases, a clone may attempt to replace their source altogether.

he's not doing too great!

in fact, i dont think he lasts til the future...

CW: BODY HORROR + GORE

remember when i said that clord isn't exactly human? and he's a parasite that leeches onto tord in order to survive? yeah anyways

i recently did a presentation on the substance (good movie btw) and i got inspired to do some stuff with tord and clord. anyways heres some headcanons:

clord doesn't have tord's tattoo, piercings, or scars. this also means that he doesn't have top surgery scars, hence why he has his tits out.

tord has gray eyes and longer hair. clord's irises are completely black and his hair is slightly shorter. he also does not have tord's gap tooth.

even though clord appears human-like, that doesn't mean he is one.

clord wants to replace tord. not just as a copy, but replacing him as if tord never existed.

the only reason why clord doesn't kill off tord is because he needs him to survive. he's a parasite that feeds off of tord's existence, if tord dies then he will too.

clord's expressions are very uncanny. his face always feels off.

was he created on accident? on purpose? who knows.

everyone's thoughts on clord

edd: he's the closest to tord out of everyone, so he naturally knows him best. when clord came around, he felt that something was off. however, he decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and welcome him into the house.

tom: he immediately knew something was off with clord. he's creeped out by him, and he always feels extremely uncomfortable whenever he's nearby. he's very cold around clord and keeps his eye on him.

matt: he feels off around clord, but is mostly oblivious. he never was super close with tord in the first place, but as long as he doesn't bother him, he doesn't mind him.

tord: he hates that clord is taking his place and that he's trying to steal everything from him, but he can't do anything to stop him. he's trapped.

clord's thoughts on everyone

edd: clord holds most of tord's memories. while some memories are fuzzier than others, the most vivid ones have to do with edd. he remembers his warmth and every emotion that tord has felt around edd. but no matter how much he tries to get close with edd just like how tord was, edd always seems distant.

tom: he's a major obstacle. even if he tries to act friendly around tom, he shoves him away. he knows that something is wrong, and any chances of him ruining clord's plans is too much of a risk.

matt: clord finds him annoying, but as long as matt doesn't get in the way, then he'll leave him alone. he severely underestimates matt, seeing him as nothing but a useless idiot.
