Hey Lois.. remember the time I met CLIVE HANDFORTH
LBP headcanons because I’m feeling silly rn
- Captain Puds real name is Tom (Short for Thompson)
- Newtons middle name is ‘Plum’ referring to the ‘Plum Pudding’ model of the atom!!
- Avalons favourite science was Biology, Herbert’s Fav was Chemistry, Clive liked Physics and robotics the most!!
- Clive genuinely cares alot about the sackbots and has given them all names.
- Avalon has his own brand of conditioner.
- Popit academy is a private school, but Herb, Clive and Avalon all got in on a scholarship.
- Nana, Captain and Marlon all went to school around the same time.
- Herbert and Avalon are one or two years older than Clive but Avalon took a gap year before going to the popit academy to start up Avalonia.
- Avalon had a scene phase and pretends to have hated it.
- Larry didn’t invent the wheel, he just helped revolutionise it further — a lot like how Avalon didn’t invent science, he just learned how to mix biology and robotics as well as making other massive steps for science.
- Herb, Clive and Avalon were all in a band together. It didn’t last long but it was fun. Clive played guitar, Herb was either on bass or drums and Avalon sung. They tried to get Newton to fill in for whatever instrument Herbert wasn’t playing, but they couldn’t convince him.
- Larry had a band called ‘Principa Metalmatica’ (Metallica parody on one of the stickers). He was basically James Hetfield but newspaper in his younger days, and quit to persue science and teaching.
- Avalon was head boy, 100% attendance.
- Newton would always sleep in and he wouldn’t always wake up for class in time.
- There was a uniform for popit academy!! it was a white collared shirt, a tie with the school colours, either a jumper or a cardigan and the school blazer with black trousers. You would get badges depending on clubs and such, Avalon had wayyy too many badges on his blazer.
- I’ll draw some locker designs and how I think the gang would decorate their lockers.
That’s all for now folks!! May post some more soon :)
I’m so glad he wears shades
I’m literally shaking buy him brown contacts pls
here’s my Clive playlist if anyone wants it!!
Clive Music Taste headcanons because I can
he said he didn’t like metal music but I’m projecting so I say he actually does and he’s a little embarassed. He likes metalmatica (the band seen in Larry’s place) which is the only canonic band of which I am aware of.
I’d say he’d also enjoy blur (also oasis but idk I feel like he’d prefer blur), weezer, The Kaiser Chiefs (specifically ‘i predict a riot’ and ‘oh my god’.) I think he’d also like REM and U2 because idk. Also other Britrock bands I forgot about. Clive would be a huge fan of depeche mode (I put that on my Clive playlist but forgot to put it in the og post, thanks wander for helping me out there) and kraftwerk.
Nervous this doesn’t feel enough like Clive but this is how I interpret his character so yeah.
(he also defo played guitar when he was younger idk why just yah)
I would love to participate :)
I kinda wanna run some lbp mini art prompt events of some kind
Like those daily fandom drawing prompts that go for like a week. Would anyone be interested? :D
the guy on the far left is Lint Crosstitch! He’s an LBP2 OC of mine, the youngest sibling of the Centrifuges. His design is inspired by a goat!! He read ‘the tales of captain pud’ when he was younger (a fictional LBP book I’m working on that’s just anecdotes of captains adventures). He was struggling just being seen as a centrifuge, Avalons large software based company putting pressure on him (hc that Clive makes a lot of the tech hardware and Avalon does most of the digital work); as well as oculus’ partying persona rubbing off on his identity, so he decided to change his last name. He still has a good relationship with his siblings and loves them, just didn’t want to gain his fame just by having the centrifuge name!! He resides in a carpet jungle area and his favourite places he’s explored are manglewood (and the lower down jacobs well).
I’ll write more if anyone is interested :)
the siblings ever
I genuinely had a dream where I wrote a blive handforth x reader fanfic and it became the most popular fanfic in the world in like and hour and then blive came knocking in my door crying to copyright strike me
Did you there was a scrapped character which was clive handforth but green with really big weird hyper realistic eyeballs he was clives evil twin brother blive handforth his catchphrase was "I am blive handforth and I am evil"
the siblings ever
"All this training reminds me of the Institute of Inspiration. A simpler time. A better time."
I wanted to doodle LBP2 characters and ended up making this whole thing 😔 I barely draw Da Vinci even though I love my silly little design for him
Btw Avalon is sitting in the front because he has shit vision in my hc

honestly fighting the urge to make a comic series focused around popit academy, I’m having a mini popit academy fixation despite there being so little content on it so I’m gonna need to make my own content ig 😭
GUYS PLEASE CLIVE DESERVES TO BE A SEXYMAN
Clive Handforth, the founder and owner of The Factory of a Better Tomorrow. He is extremely depressed and gloomy, always assuming the worst. This is intensified after a giant fucking sentient vacuum demon lays waste to his factory, sucking up its creativity and holding all of his worker robots captive. After that, he is found pathetically hiding in a can, singing about being a little man in a can. Even after saving his factory, he is always very pessimistic about nearly every step of the journey as he travels with the rest of the alliance, until the very end when he is given his first shot at bravery, which perks him up a little.
Wambus Troubleham, a simple, hardworking farmer with a strong sense of responsibility, who’s stubborn and short tempered. Usually pretty tough and likely to stick to his guns, and very willing to throw the sauce plants he grows at other people. Has a smooth, deep, cowboy-esc voice. However, he’s also oddly pathetic at times. His main plot involves constantly attempting and failing to figure out how to grow more of the creatures known as bugsnax, thinking they can be grown in the ground, quickly gets desperate and frustrated as time goes on. He also starts the game off with some serious marital problems, his wife leaving to another part of snacktooth island after a rough patch involving a disagreement between them. He ends up missing her so much he makes a cactus facsimile of her.
HI TUMBLR LBP FACT TIME
Larry was going to be called “Dave Inchi” that’s why he looks at a D in “Let’s get you match fit” and recognises his name from that.
uh oh accidental psychonauts fixation
I LOVE THIS AU SOOOO MUCH
PSYCHONAUTS LBP 2 AU??? More likely than you’d think
In the au, the alliance area group of inventors ! And they make a basically sentient computer run on psitanium. Said computer is the negativatron in this scenario, it turns on them, wanting to destroy anything related to imagination and invention, which is pretty much everything lol. Since it’s psitanium powered it can do this thing where it messes with the mental worlds of the alliance. Basically setting it on fire and putting the monsters in there like it does in canon. In this au raz would have to help them by going into their minds and eventually defeating the negativatron ! Essentially taking the place of sackboy. It would take place after psychonauts 2 for Raz, so he’s basically just going around collecting parental and grandparent figures lmaooo. I imagine he’d get roped into it the same way sackboy would, he’s just wandering around doing raz stuff before he almost gets sucked up by the negativatron and Larry saves him !
I genuinely dont think I’ve ever talked about my main au on here!!
I have around 50 aus but this is my favourite by far!!!
I present to youuuuu…. Submit To Avalonia! (STA for short)
It’s a much darker take on the story with heavy influences from the beta, it’s set in a universe where Victoria dies prior to Sackboy getting there, and Avalon is starting a cult based on himself and just the idea feeds his ego and his god complex. This version of Avalon is very different and is not meant to throw shade onto the original!! He’s just a complete sociopath in this au so be warned. Larry, grief stricken by Victorias death, ends up saving the sackboy from the negativatron, but his arm happens to get pulled off. Sackboy is the only immortal entity so to speak, however he can only be permanently damaged by the negativatron, so that causes Larry to assume he is affected like all the other curators (they can be harmed and permanently take damage), He is given a grappling hook as a prosthetic. Avalon slowly manipulates clive into becoming his second in command, and Eve feels the blame for not noticing the signs. The negativatron is defined by a reoccurring nightmare plaguing the Imagisphere, and not a one time enemy, so any major threat or being in the past was just another form on the negativatron, it can be caused by anything and anyone, it’s just a repeating prophecy of sorts, and in this case, Avalons cult causes it in an attempt to “cleanse” craftworld, and become its new leader.
This is still very rough and needs a lot of polishing, and there is a lot more to come later!! Thank you for reading, it means alot to have people interested in my projects. ^_^
on todays episode of autism, I am going to be analysing all of Clives lines from lbp2. What am I doing? I don’t even know anymore.
canon because I say so /j
THIS IS EXACTLY HOW IMAGINED THEM I LOVE YOUR ART SO MUCH MAN
Aww, how I love young curators when they were schoolchildren ♡
(my personal headcanon to the fact that young Avalon had braces with multi-colored elastics(?), don't hit me. And his eyesight is so bad that he squints even with glasses for vision correction.)
clive handforth Retro-futurism inspired poster :D
fun fact
There’s a typo in lbp3 where a sugar cube is spelled ‘suger cube’
