Regarding the weapon request, it looks like it's the Colt 1877 from the first two images with angry red lines drawn on it, and some extra gubbins under the barrel. All the lines of the 1877 are still there, though, so I'd feel comfortable tagging it as the 1877 still.
According to the commentary, these are the fast cruisers under the command of Tsuboi Kouzou during the 1894 Battle of the Yalu River. The front ship is the Yoshino but beyond that it's tricky, given a front-on view. The Akitsushima is probably the third based on the bow. Naniwa and Takachiho are nearly identical so I can't really differentiate between them.
actualy, Ares trashtalking Clarisse was just his own questionably brand of peppy talk. In ancient greece women that suffered abused prayed to him, that is why he was considered the father of the amazons. He selected Clarisse for the quest, he gave her a ship and he played the part of a jackass so she would be super angry and try her best to prove him wrong. Didn't he bless her in the New York final battle as well?
Sometimes it is more what you do than what you say.

yeah he does care about her but its not like his brand of parenting did not do a number on her. I remember it was shown in a short story that Clarisse genuinely fears her father
I think your being hyperbolic. The fandom is stagnating maybe declining and unless a game (official or fanmade) really takes off, I don't think its going to last another 20 or even 10 years, but its far from dead or dying.

That is a comment I greatly agree. One thing is for sure, that game that could take off won't come out by ZUN himself. At least not unless he joins forces with a correct new blood. Tohou Cannonball was a failure but maybe some other new game could do it. Another thing to consider is fandoms multiply and diversify in numbers as time goes on. It's not like in the past when your classmates played or were interested on the same games as you. Today is really common everyone play/read/hear whatever you don't, so long lasting fandoms shrink too.
Touhou is a lifestyle, a way of being and enjoying, touhou is not just zun's creations, touhou is the core of all of our joy anger sadness and confusion in life, touhou will NEVER die only evolve.
