his pod says reject on it. from the start clembrane knew that he was a failure. but he didn’t want to believe it, he wanted to believe that he could take care of the membrane children as if they were his own. 

but then at the end when zim told him he was a failure--that’s when it hit him hard. he wanted to believe that he did well keeping the children safe in the absence of their real father, but zim telling him he knew he would be nothing but a failure since he couldn’t even figure out how to make pudding right--he doubted everything he stood for in that moment.

think proudly of yourself for overcoming your fear.

buT YOU FEAR HIM! NOT ME! 

     clembrane looked down at the small robot and sat down beside him so the both of them could be at better heights. putting a hand on the smaller’s head, he gave a soft pat. 

     normally clembrane wouldn’t give away zim’s secrets, but after what he had said to him not too two minutes ago long ago, the clone looked at dib with determination and nodded. 

      failure                       clone                                idiot                     usless 

     these words came through clembrane’s mind as if zim actually said them to his face–well he said failure but that’s nOT THE POINT HERE. and he could already feel the tears come streaming down his face. but why was he allowing zim to still make him feel this way? he had found a family, and even though he felt like the oddball out, they still kept him around, allowed him to stay in the house with them–so why was he crying over something zim said? 

     he wasn’t going to allow it anymore, he thought as he wiped the tears away from his eyes.
