of all the artistic depictions of achilles in classical art, these two are probably my favourites.

(left: achilles and deidamia by joseph pollet; right: achilles binds patroclus’s wounds by bertal thorvaldsen)

most artistic depictions of achilles show him as either angry of grieving (as he is in the iliad) but these two show a more tender side of his, one that is not often depicted. as for the one with pat, i know That(TM) amphora piece is basically the official poster of their relationship, and clearly thorvaldsen’s sculpture is based on it, but something about this one appeals to me a bit more. the way achilles is much closer to him, his thigh supporting patroclus's injured arm while he mends it. achilles is probably gently admonishing pat for being reckless.

achilles is known for his rage and grief, and all the atrocities he committed during said grief, but these two sculptures stand out for showing his tender and loving side.

"Menoetius was a good dad and Patroclus was not abandoned or neglected by him, and if you think otherwise you're tsoa-pilled" is such a batshit wild take lmao.

Like, sure he does show up in the Iliad, and yes he seems to be concerned for his son! He tells him to look after Achilles and to give him sound counsel, so that they may both profit from his glory. This could be interpreted in a number of different ways: that yes, he still cares about his son and didn't wash his hands off him, but at the same time that scene always came across to me like Menoetius basically reminding Patroclus not to dishonour himself and his family further, enforcing on him the fact that even though Patroclus is older, Achilles will always be a better and nobler man than he, and instructing him on how to reap as much glory as he can through Achilles despite his own disgraced standing.

Sorry if that doesn’t strike me as a particularly loving and tender father-son moment lol.

I do still believe that Menoetius didn't willingly give him up. Despite what Patroclus did, he was still a prince, was still his heir, and of course Menoetius as the king of Opus had a vested interest in his one offspring that was next in line for the throne. Undoubtedly Amphidamas, whose son Patroclus killed, was someone powerful and Patroclus couldn't be left unpunished for his crime, and Menoetius had been obligated by law to send his son into exile.

Yes it royally sucked that Patroclus was stripped of his title and his right to the throne! But consider this: a child who killed another child has ALWAYS been bad news, no matter the time period. A child that kills another child accidentally, "in a fit of rage" over a game of dice, was never acceptable, never normal. We don't know enough about Patroclus' upbringing or his relationship with Menoetius, but I don’t think it would far fetched to assume that Patroclus struggled with extreme childhood aggression, which could be traced back to Menoetius' treatment of him or some other kind of trauma.

TL;DR: Patroclus' bad relationship with Menoetius is NOT an invention of TSOA, it doesn't take away from his character in any way, and there is as much evidence to support that Patroclus might have had a problematic upbringing and that Menoetius was a shitty dad as there is to the contrary.

“they stood there pretending to be just friends when all the while everyone in the room could plainly see they were only existing for each other.” – emma blake

inspired by my smau which is SUPER seflship-coded, so know this is who i'm imagining when i write for it, lmao. i'm a volleyball player so the whole au is based on starring on the seido u team and being best friends to lovers with kazuya.

the pair respect each others' ambition and drive despite being quite different, with a whole lot of teasing along the way. they're there to support each others' dreams and struggle with crossing that line of friendship to something more (and for both being quite smart, can be totally oblivious and / or in denial about it).

peep the matching seido windbreakers on their plushies. >:)

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to the amazing @calciumyum for this selfship comm. 🥹 cal was a pleasure to work with and i highly recommend nabbing a commission spot if you can!

“Perhaps you have forgotten. That’s one of the great problems of our modern world, you know. Forgetting. The victim never forgets. Ask an Irishman what the English did to him in 1920 and he’ll tell you the day of the month and the time and the name of every man they killed. Ask an Iranian what the English did to him in 1953 and he’ll tell you. His child will tell you. His grandchild will tell you. And when he has one, his great-grandchild will tell you too. But ask an Englishman—” He flung up his hands in mock ignorance. “If he ever knew, he has forgotten. ‘Move on!’ you tell us. ‘Move on! Forget what we’ve done to you. Tomorrow’s another day!’ But it isn’t, Mr. Brue.” He still had Brue’s hand. “Tomorrow was created yesterday, you see. That is the point I was making to you. And by the day before yesterday, too. To ignore history is to ignore the wolf at the door.”
