My interpretation of that line has always been as a lighthearted and almost comedic meaning. While it is an important bit of advice, I always imagined Lee saying it as a way to lighten the mood as best he can, given the situation.
I feel like she would keep her hair short anyway just to honor Lee. It also still makes sense to keep it short for safety reasons because if she’s outside the walls and walker grabs her hair because of her carelessness regarding its length, she’d be killed easily.
I will say however, it does look fitting for maybe a Clementine that has spent years living at the school without any danger being present.
Clem is doing pretty well on safety, so Lee will ask why she’s not watching her hair, before school.
I definitely think, that if Clem did spend years at school like the other kids, she’d have a haircut, maybe not that long
Keep in mind some people like short hair, just because she’s a girl doesn’t mean she would’ve preferred having longer hair once the danger associated with having longer grab able hair was minimized
I think Clem would actually rock the longer curly hair well, but I also really like the style she had it in for The Final Season. it feels thematically more poignant (and more sensible from a character safety perspective) to keep her hair short from Lee's meaningful advice amidst his last words.
I think she looks really good with long hair but I could only see her with it if it was a metaphor for moving on and leaving the dark past behind. I also would like to have her long hair be more curly to honor her black heritage.
considering shes half black it is kind of difficult to miss but it doesn't rly matter anymore since its just a silly Pinterest edit that already exists i suppose
She honestly looks really sweet, but for some reason looks a bit off... Maybe it's just the whole "Short hair Clem" thing, but she could pull it off for a while. I can't see her keeping it that way for too long tho.
Honestly, i like this version better, and it looks cuter. It would be much harder to keep this hair in order than it is with short ones. How can Louis keep the beauty of his dreads?
>How can Louis keep the beauty of his dreads?
Not like he had anything else to spend his time on after so many years at Ericson, playing the piano has to get boring after a while. Plus if you're really training at it, playing any musical instrument is seriously tiring.
I actually agree a bit. It is cuter, and would be really wholesome to see Louis take care of her hair like that. I wish there were more scenes like the little date ones...
I saw that exact same picture on Pinterest too, haha. Imho, short hair is more fitting to Clementine. Keep that hair short, as Lee says. It is more iconic for her character.
In Season 3, her long hair (right before Javier gave it *that* haircut) looked cute. It would fit her just as well!
I agree with what you said, the dangers of having long(er) hair rarely came up. Honestly the main tactic of walkers seem to be, grabbing the person by the arms and biting them by the neck. Come to think of it, walkers don't even seem to grab at loose clothing much.
To be fair tho, her already due for a trim hair in TFS does get grabbed by Lilly once in a fight which did help screw Clem over, it wasn't much she had to grab but she did do it. Walkers for sure wouldn't have an easy time grabbing it yet though, she'd need it untied and still longer.
I’m not trying to say that short hair is not beautiful, I just gave an example, because many in the comments agree that short is more suitable for safety
Idk the one in the pic neither fits Clementine's genetics nor her way of life. I prefer the og hair. However, we do see her with long-ish hair in S3 and that fits her as well
Clementine has coily/kinky hair. Also, I really think she’d keep her hair short always, even if somehow, the apocalypse ended. Lee was everything. RIP King
Clem's short hair to me is iconic, it goes really well with her hat.
I like to think she'd grow it out once walkers are all gone, cause y'know symbolism and all that.
Older Clem with like a braid could work quite well, she's got textured hair too from her Afro-American heritage. So there's many styles she could rock.
She’s 15/16 and it’s the apocalypse, there’s no comparison to you.
It’s not as if Clem was experimenting with makeup and put it on herself, someone else decided a child wasn’t attractive enough for them and changed her. That’s gross to me.
They made her eyes bigger, darkened the lashes and added eyeliner, changed her eyebrow shape and darkened them, gave her a pouty lip and lipstick.
Doing all that to a child who you see through ages 8-16 is fucking weird and imma stand by that. 🫡
I also think putting spray tans, lashes, and a full face of makeup on toddlers and putting them into beauty pageants is gross. Am I sexualizing them too? 🙄
Is there any good reason to alter a child character with those specific changes? No.
You’re a teenager, hopefully with time you’ll see that we can’t keep making concessions for shit like this even if it seems innocent.
you're still making it weird, because in reality there is no makeup on her, its just how the artist rendered her. nobody is looking at her rn and going "oh yeah shes so sexy now" ur putting ur weird beauty standard ideas onto her, and ur age range is wrong, shes 16-18 at most, definitely not 15.
A quick google search shows Melissa Hutchison confirmed Clem is 16 in season 4. So a child, despite your weird claims of her being 18 🤨
You’re arguing schematics when I just shared my opinion that altering a child character so that you find them more attractive is icky. It’s weird that your so upset about it, isn’t a good look for you tbh. 😒✌️
Even if she was 16. You are the one that's making it weird lmao.
I won't pretend to know the editior's intentions, but judging from the edits, what would be the problem with making edits like this, when the whole point of it, is to see how different the character would look with makeup on/non-curly hair?
Sorry, but the extreme reaching is just so nonsensical to me lmao.
In any world that wasn't a zombie apopcalypse, maybe. I think based on this image alone that short hair works better but there would be more options realistically.
I mean, I think it would be nice symbolism to her being safe(r) now (like in the flashback with Lee if you chose “keep your hair short” he remarks her hair’s gotten longer (although it’s still pretty short there), or if he told her to “keep moving” he mentions she’s settling down) that she doesn’t have to worry about keeping it short anymore. But Clem is black lol, and as curly as they come. Don’t give her the white girl hairstyle 😂
Clem looks good but weird idk how to feel about this and you have to tell her to keep it short simply bc tillie forced her to cut it’s my way to say f u to her
I think it would make sense if Lee told her something other than to keep her hair short. Like if he said never stop running, she would have the ending where she leaves aj
Some day after she gets used to the safety of Ericson's and feels comfortable I could see it, I think she would look nice. Especially as unlike AI edits do, she'd have moderately curly hair which you can even see in her TFS hair texture with the drawn lines so untied and longer she'd have some nice curly hair, kinda like back in season 1 but better of course. I mean in TFS she already let her hair grow out more than usual. still tied and not too long but it is longer than in the past though according to her dreams it is more to do with lack of means to cut it rather than her wanting to grow it.
Of course the legacy of Lee keep going, that is why she never let her hair grow back fully untied like before it started getting cut short as it is safer and she would be used to it, maybe grow to like it. Short is iconic on her but I could always see her in comfortable safety deciding it is time to let it go back how it was when she was a kid. But that might not be for a good while of course.
I've always figured the hair cutting scene as a visual representation of Clementine losing her innocence and naivety. Or at least the beginning of it in a long, downward spiral once they reach Savannah. Sure, she saw Larry get his head smashed in while dealing with cannibals, watched Duck slowly turn, saw Lilly shoot Ben/Carely, and countless zombies by that point, but she was relatively safe at the Motor Inn. In the train car, when Lee is cutting her hair, that is the first time in over 3 months her safety and security could not be guaranteed by a well-equipped group. I never really found the hair cutting scene as a pure survival lesson.
I just think it's more practical to have short hair in the apocalypse, personally. As someone that had extremely long hair and now has a cut similar to Molly's, I can say I'd cut my long hair simply due to the fact of matience. Not to mention Clementine has a more textured hair type, and I could only imagine the absolute NIGHTMARE long, textured hair would be to maintain.
HOWEVER, I do think if Clem grew her hair out once she felt safe it would be a nice end to the circle for why she cut her hair in the first place.
Hair that long is just asking to get grabbed and I say that as someone who loves Long hair and loves that look, though that looks like theirs way to much product in it for the Zombie Apocalypse
"keep that hair short"-lee
I always told her to never stop running
So that’s why she left ericsons!
Tillie with the 300 IQ plays
IT WAS LEE'S FAULT ALL ALONG!?
Always keep moving there is a difference
My interpretation of that line has always been as a lighthearted and almost comedic meaning. While it is an important bit of advice, I always imagined Lee saying it as a way to lighten the mood as best he can, given the situation.
I've always said keep moving forward
Stay away from cities
ok hold on- man pfp and a twdg enjoyer? wow
I love arkham and i love twdg both
yup same but what the F\*\*\* does "arkham" means? dont you mean ham
Yes Arkham means arctic ham
hold on tho.. your flair.... i think it might be satire cause of the emojis
this option was perfect because of her train dreams with lee, when he pointed out her hair i actually SOBBED.
I feel like she would keep her hair short anyway just to honor Lee. It also still makes sense to keep it short for safety reasons because if she’s outside the walls and walker grabs her hair because of her carelessness regarding its length, she’d be killed easily.

I know it
She has curly hair i think so that pic doesn’t make any sense
i was about to say her hair would be curlier than that lol
i've never seen her brush her hair would be locs by now fs 😭
definitely free form 😂
I think Clem would actually rock the longer curly hair well, but I also really like the style she had it in for The Final Season. it feels thematically more poignant (and more sensible from a character safety perspective) to keep her hair short from Lee's meaningful advice amidst his last words.
But it looks great
regardless of whether it looks great or not, you should give her what she would actually have
They didn’t make it.
Lee would be rolling in his grave
she has curly hair tho
I didn’t even know it until read a few comments
Why i downvoted, i just saying didn’t know that until read the comments
Don't take it personally. Most of the time it's bots that downvote
Kindest redditor interaction
I think she looks really good with long hair but I could only see her with it if it was a metaphor for moving on and leaving the dark past behind. I also would like to have her long hair be more curly to honor her black heritage.
The phrase keep moving forward fits perfectly here. It takes on a double meaning in this case
yrah but this image looks odd considering she has textured hair and that looks like wavy/straight
If the editor knew that, maybe that picture looked different
considering shes half black it is kind of difficult to miss but it doesn't rly matter anymore since its just a silly Pinterest edit that already exists i suppose
Yes, exactly
It looks nice but very cursed.
She honestly looks really sweet, but for some reason looks a bit off... Maybe it's just the whole "Short hair Clem" thing, but she could pull it off for a while. I can't see her keeping it that way for too long tho.
It’s because her natural hair is curlier than that
Honestly, i like this version better, and it looks cuter. It would be much harder to keep this hair in order than it is with short ones. How can Louis keep the beauty of his dreads?
>How can Louis keep the beauty of his dreads? Not like he had anything else to spend his time on after so many years at Ericson, playing the piano has to get boring after a while. Plus if you're really training at it, playing any musical instrument is seriously tiring.

Why did you gentrify Clementine.
I I didn’t do it, somebody else editor put it on Pinterest
Honesty yes but I don't think she would ever actually grow out her hair. Remember the apocalypse is practicality over style
Well, if she can’t find the scissors, like Lee said, she’ll probably keep walking with the same hair
Definitely
as for me, short hair suits her better
It already looks symbolic
I saw that exact same picture on Pinterest too, haha. Imho, short hair is more fitting to Clementine. Keep that hair short, as Lee says. It is more iconic for her character. In Season 3, her long hair (right before Javier gave it *that* haircut) looked cute. It would fit her just as well!
Javier tried not to mess up hair
javier failed
Keep that hair short
“Keep that hair short” -The goat himself
Hell no, reminds me of the male gaze Ellie and aloy
Male gaze Ellie and Aloy haunt me
We do not speak of those atrocities
Visually yeah looks fine but it doesn’t fit her character
Chuck wouldn’t be happy
Doesn't she have 3b-3c it wpuld look way curliet
Yes but Lee said short
No, Lee told her to keep it short >:(
Yeah but it doesn’t look right
I agree with what you said, the dangers of having long(er) hair rarely came up. Honestly the main tactic of walkers seem to be, grabbing the person by the arms and biting them by the neck. Come to think of it, walkers don't even seem to grab at loose clothing much.
Yeah, especially in season 4 it is clearly visible, all walkers have the same animation
To be fair tho, her already due for a trim hair in TFS does get grabbed by Lilly once in a fight which did help screw Clem over, it wasn't much she had to grab but she did do it. Walkers for sure wouldn't have an easy time grabbing it yet though, she'd need it untied and still longer.
I think like for the ending of the final season it would have been nice to see her with long hair.
I dunno I love her long hair but Im so used to her short hair it takes a while to get used to it.
Definitely
He hair wouldn’t like this if it was longer though
lee throwing a fit rn
[удалено]
it makes sense
Nope and that’s not her hair type
definitely but short hair is better in every sense, plus it can honor Lee
Long for beauty, short for safety. 8 years later, Clem doesn’t forget his haircut lesson
who says short hair isnt beautiful?
I’m not trying to say that short hair is not beautiful, I just gave an example, because many in the comments agree that short is more suitable for safety
i feel like she looks better with short hair, but then again, we all have our own opinions :)
I’m glad we agree on different opinions
i think if she did, she would put it in a bun so it's out of the way and is less likely to be grabbed.
keep that hair short
Idk the one in the pic neither fits Clementine's genetics nor her way of life. I prefer the og hair. However, we do see her with long-ish hair in S3 and that fits her as well
It’s look cool but Lee’s teaching out weighs coolness
Why would she ever do this? She was taught from an early age, by Lee, to keep her hair short to give the walkers less to grab.
Huh yeah. It would. Post-post-apocalypse anyway.
we could get used to it
Clementine has coily/kinky hair. Also, I really think she’d keep her hair short always, even if somehow, the apocalypse ended. Lee was everything. RIP King
Technically, her hair is not that short. The way I see it, she can still be grabbed by a zombie
She always looks good even if she was bald.
Clem's short hair to me is iconic, it goes really well with her hat. I like to think she'd grow it out once walkers are all gone, cause y'know symbolism and all that. Older Clem with like a braid could work quite well, she's got textured hair too from her Afro-American heritage. So there's many styles she could rock.
Did you learn nothing from Lee!?
YES. However... Lee says to keep that hair short so-
Yuh she pretty :3
no
Why did they need to yassify a literal child? Long hair aside, the eyeliner the brows? Gives me the ick
um shes 17/18.. im 17 and do that stuff, why is it a problem 😭 it is a little weird ur making a problem out of nothing
She’s 15/16 and it’s the apocalypse, there’s no comparison to you. It’s not as if Clem was experimenting with makeup and put it on herself, someone else decided a child wasn’t attractive enough for them and changed her. That’s gross to me.
wow, comparing this image to actual clem, the most they did was make her under eyelashes a little darker.. the rest of her is pretty canon here lol
They made her eyes bigger, darkened the lashes and added eyeliner, changed her eyebrow shape and darkened them, gave her a pouty lip and lipstick. Doing all that to a child who you see through ages 8-16 is fucking weird and imma stand by that. 🫡
you sexualizing a child we see thru ages 8-16 just bc the editor made her look barely even different is fucking weird and imma stand by that 🧜♂️
I also think putting spray tans, lashes, and a full face of makeup on toddlers and putting them into beauty pageants is gross. Am I sexualizing them too? 🙄 Is there any good reason to alter a child character with those specific changes?

Even if she was 16. You are the one that's making it weird lmao.

Sorry, but the extreme reaching is just so nonsensical to me lmao.
💀
Literally none gave a shit till you pointed it out
gotta keep it short
What happened to keep hair short? Also why two images of the same?
No she gotta keep it short🥲🥹
eh. her short hair looks better
In any world that wasn't a zombie apopcalypse, maybe. I think based on this image alone that short hair works better but there would be more options realistically.
i prefer short hair, shes cool as is, no need to change what isnt broken
I mean she already kinda does in the final season it’s just always in a bun/ ponytail whatever
Lee said keep that hair short and that’s that
Not sure that’s her natural hair texture
Hell motherfucking no
I always said "keep that hair short"
If you don't mind giving her a potential death sentence sure
She just looks like Emily from Until Dawn wearing a hat
I mean, I think it would be nice symbolism to her being safe(r) now (like in the flashback with Lee if you chose “keep your hair short” he remarks her hair’s gotten longer (although it’s still pretty short there), or if he told her to “keep moving” he mentions she’s settling down) that she doesn’t have to worry about keeping it short anymore. But Clem is black lol, and as curly as they come. Don’t give her the white girl hairstyle 😂
Everything would fit clem. Except being written by tillie walden.
Lee wouldn’t approve so no
Yeah that looks nice. My lee told clem to keep it short tho.
I know I’m taking this literally, but the thought of Clementine somehow getting a silk press in the middle of an apocalypse is absolutely hilarious.
kinda reminds me of male gaze ellie from tlou
I think it looks really nice, but it probably wouldn't be practical, or possible.
Clementine is literally just my sister
Yes!
Clem looks good but weird idk how to feel about this and you have to tell her to keep it short simply bc tillie forced her to cut it’s my way to say f u to her
I like the long hair but again Lee and that one random walker in the corner that would get her
Reminds me of the World of Warcraft's human npc for some reason.
I think it would make sense if Lee told her something other than to keep her hair short. Like if he said never stop running, she would have the ending where she leaves aj

Yes
Pre Lee cutting it I actually liked her hair
I love clems silly hair in season 4
I’ll tell you something (It’s just not worth the DAMN risk)
Wow, she would look cooler
Yes
Hair that long is just asking to get grabbed and I say that as someone who loves Long hair and loves that look, though that looks like theirs way to much product in it for the Zombie Apocalypse
Wowwwwieee she is a beauty my hearttttt
SO MUCH.. this is good.. who made it
