how clare managed to lock down the two strongest warriors of her generation as mums.

God, I forgot how much of a boss Teresa was in Claymore

- She basically just did whatever the hell she wanted

- Adopted a little girl who grew up to be just as badass as her despite having no parenting skills

- Got every single one of her coworkers mad at her, and when they tried to punish her, she just clobbered them

- She came back in the finale to kill the woman that killed her while acting like she couldn't give less of a f**k about her because she was too busy chatting with her daughter

- Proceed to refuse to elaborate and just leaves after demolishing the final boss

- And, she did all that with the biggest sh*t-eating grin on the planet.

What a legend. 🥺

One scene in Claymore I really love is when the gathered warriors in Pieta start arguing amongst each other because it showcases just how much of their lives are spent in isolation.

They can't even hold simple conversations without a fight breaking out between them. Hell, Helen says that it's tough when hunting parties for awakened beings are formed (consisting of 4 warriors). And she herself isn't an exception with how she isolated Clare when they first met because she saw her as weak and a liability.

But that isolation by the organization is intentional. Connections between each other is what makes them "human" and less powerful in their eyes. We've seen it time and time again, with Clare and Teresa, Clare and Jean, Clare and Raki, Isley with Raki and Priscilla, Miria and all of the warriors who overthrew the organization, Clarice and Miata, even Alicia and Beth cared deeply for each other in spite of the organizations brainwashing... In some of these cases the connections is what kept them alive, but also human. But as Rafutera said not being able to understand the fact that their "experiments" had human hearts was ultimately the downfall of the men who led the organization.

HINATA GET OUT OF THERE THE GIRLS ARE ABOUT TO FIGHT

It feels like I’m destined to love every single character that Park Romi voices. Even if I haven’t seen the anime they’re from (yet).
