kind of power?
She smiles when Hemlock allows her to be promoted to chief scientist.
and...
It wasn't what she expected.
I keep thinking after watching EP10. What will she do next when she thinks she has no power?
But I got a hint from Star Wars Facebook
That's the power she has in this EP.
She asked for a promotion. She got it.
She wanted to go out and get another specimen. She got it.
Even Hemlock felt it was unnecessary. But do as you wish.
It took me a while to see that Hemlock even cared about her sometimes. I believe he is afraid of losing her in many ways, from danger or betrayal.
"My father is the worst man alive, and I am his favorite daughter."
I love that there is this feeling in relationships. Or whoever Ship them, I'll eat too.

If you were to peel the skin of me apart as a fig's, you would finally understand. I am my mother's daughter. From poisoned seeds sprout poisoned fruits.

"You're a mother, Ma. You're also a monster. But so am I --which is why I can't turn away from you."

It's difficult, loving someone that can't help hurting you. How much harm is forgivable when you know it was done to them first? Zed was old enough to hate her by the time she left. I wasn't so lucky; for children, forgiveness is almost involuntary Two mothers exist in my memory--the one I preserved as a child, and the one I remember as an adult. They bleed and blur together like film strips melting in the sun. I loved my mother. I hate my mother. It's impossible to tell where one ends and the other begins "She loved us," I told Zed once, as if it might make a difference.

“My father is the worst man alive and I am his favorite daughter.” Is really giving me some Butcher pt 2 electric boogaloo Neil vibes.
If the Butcher was a lineage based job for the Moriyama’s and Neil was trained by his father to take up his role before Mary stole Neil away and went on the run. And when Lola comes for him, he follows because he knows he has to. There’s no torture, because he’s willing to take up his role again - or so he says.
And then he murders Nathan before Stuart can even get there.
And when the FBI get ahold of him and he spills his guts..
“My father is the worst man alive, and I am his favorite son.”

i am so happy for the increase of people like Clarisse La Rue in the new show (and im ignoring the people who don't like her) (also, i have not watched the show yet, in support of Palestine's boycott against Disney+ and am currently too sick to figure out the safest way to 🏴☠️) because she is such a good character and i would cry for a well-written book/fanfic series from her pov
like. she truly is the epitome of "my dad is the worst man alive and i am his favorite daughter" and i super respect the decision that this adaptation has towards going towards the whole "in my version, Clarisse will never win her father's approval because she isn't his son" sentiment. not to mention, the decision to couple that by having her be cast as a person of color in addition to her pre-existing character having been someone who has been frantically trying find the opportunity to prove herself, being indirectly one-upped by white boy Percy coming into camp day 1 having fought a minotaur. the intersectionality of her misdirected fury is impeccable. fantastic, no notes
but im also just psyched for her and Chris Rodriguez and i really wish they had more focus in the books. because they are as fantastically amazing as all the other S-tier ships in the series. i think they could even rival Percabeth (notice: i didn't say "could beat", i said "could RIVAL", no Percabeth fans send me hate), honestly, if Clarisse/Chris had been given a chance to somehow be of focus. because you're telling me angry, overlooked Daddy Issues(TM) Clarisse gets to find love with Chris "calm and patient while caring greatly for Clarisse" Rodriguez? the son of Hermes who said "fuck Camp Halfblood, fuck these gods" and went to Kronos and Luke's side? who went into the labryrinth and was driven to insanity? by King Minos himself? who Clarisse was so gentle and sympathetic for, even when others thought he might be a lost cause? even when others debated even helping him because he was "the enemy"? who, after Dionysus (and lets be honest, also Clarisse, because she was his caretaker until he could be brought to Dionysus) cured Chris of his insanity, this guy saw what a catch Clarisse was to have in your life, seeing her as someone sweet and loving (because she can be! she is!!), that who she is as a person single-handedly conVINCED HIM TO LEAVE KRONOS' SIDE AND COME BACK TO CAMP??? SO HE COULD BE HAVE A CHANCE TO BE WITH HER??
their love is so iconic. and that's just the one big moment we get from their story; im so sure there is more that we dont get to see all due to them not being focused on in the story. im so glad theyre still together and so in love. its what Clarisse deserves. i hope the show shines a light on how powerful their love is too. Chris fixes none of Clarisse's tragic father-induced issues, but it helps to remember that at least she has Chris, and im so glad she does. Clarisse is a warrior that deserved a great love-story
