Been workin’ hard on this baby for a while and I’m feeling very accomplished now that it’s done 💪😤 A discord server I belong to did a tarot card project and this is one of the cards I claimed~

Patrochilles as the Lovers is so deliciously tragic, I love ittttt 🥰 There’s prints if you want!

*in the middle of a battle*

Achilles *flirting*: you come here often?

Patroclus: *fighting a trojan*

Patroclus: I do. Please go and haunt some enemies.

Achilles: I try to be romantic. *covered in blood*

Patroclus *to the trojan*: You see what i have to deal with?

And Thetis, in tears, said to him:

"I won't have you with me for long, my child, if you say such things. Hector's death means yours."

From under a great weight, Achilles answered:

"Then let me die now. I was no help to him when he was killed out there. He died far from home, and he needed me to protect him."

-The Iliad, book 18.

Patroclus. What was your reaction to seeing achiles for the first time?

Patroclus: I don’t really know what I was expecting, I mean, before Bri dragged me to his party, all she told me was that he was some famous celebrity so I guess I thought he’d be a little… Posh? Eccentric? Stuck up? My genuine reaction seeing him for the first time was ‘this is just some regular guy’. Well, that and I did think he was pretty.

[also underworld in 2004]:

Achilles: *walks in, tears in his eyes*

Patroclus: "So what did they get wrong this time?"

Achilles: *wiping his eyes*

Achilles: "Nothing, it was perfect"

Patroclus: "Then what's wrong?"

Achilles: *crying* "Hephaestion said 'if I'm Patroclus I die first, then you Achilles' to Alexander and at the end he actually died first and Alexander followed him 8 months later"

Achilles: *reliving his trauma* "He said I'm his favorite, because I loved you so much I killed Hector for you, Patroclus! I want to meet him!"

Patroclus: *sighs and pats Achilles on the head*

Patroclus: "We really need to stop letting you out to watch movies about Greece"

Did you ever take maximus to the beach? And how was that experience like if you did

Achilles: Oh, Max loves the beach! We’ve been taking him every Summer the past two years. That first time, he was just a few months old but we still dipped his little feet in the water and let him splash a bit— Now he’s a natural born swimmer just like me! Patroclus likes to joke that he’s part fish on my side.
