Achilles being Lovely Dovey.

Back to it with the doll-making project! Been spending the past few weeks prototyping eye designs and colors while practicing the necessary embroidery.

I had the idea to incorporate achillea millefolium into Achilles’ eye design (I chose to give him a hazel-green/gold palette rather than the blue eyes he has in Hades) and since I wanted to do a matching design with Patroclus, his eyes will have forget-me-nots in them, inspired by the ice blue/hot pink color palette of Elysium.)

Patroclus’ design for the most part I felt happy with right away, which is why I only made one lol… meanwhile I’ve been fussing over Achilles’ colors a lot more. I THINK I finally settled on a color combination I like after all these tests, you’ll just have to wait until I do it for real to see what I decided on 🙂‍↕️ I am open to suggestions and opinions though, since I’m not exactly in a huge rush either 👀

Next challenge is designing their hair. I have some ideas but I’m worried about the complexity of drawing up the designs (I’m doing this all analog baby!) Hair also includes Patroclus’ beard, which hopefully will be as simple as gluing or fusing some cut fabric to his face (I’m not really planning to make an embroidered design for it but if my A plan looks like dogshit then possibly…?) Anyway, at least that will be the last major step before I can start making the dolls for real. And this is the part where the practice bodies I completed last fall will really come in clutch because they’ll be able to model the mockups for me <3

Speaking of which, I found a bag they can both fit in (and it was only ¥990 at the craft store!) so I’m pleased now to have something to carry both dolls together once they’re finished 🥹

So far I’m enjoying the process of it all… I’ve always wanted to get into embroidery and I’m finding it really relaxing. I also started listening to my collection of audiobooks while I sew and that seems to be giving me back some of my writing mojo so I hope to strike a balance between creative projects!

“You shouldn’t… Oh, Zagreus, Pat’s been a bad influence on you, you shouldn’t…”

Patroclus snorts a chuckle at this, turns Zagreus around fully so that he’s facing Achilles, back pressed flush to his chest where he’s shirtless.

“Go on, honey,” Patroclus murmurs direct into Zagreus’ ear without breaking eye contact with Achilles, “tell him that you wanted this. That you’ve been begging for it, to get that smell that surrounds your professor straight from the source.”

WIP Wednesday

I've been working on this month's Patreon fic this week, and here's a little snippet! Disasters AU Patroclus and Achilles are at Dei's poolside party, and Antilochus doesn't pass up the opportunity to make his move:

It takes Patroclus five minutes, more or less, to procure said drinks—a wine cooler for himself, and a mimosa that Rhea was happy to mix for Achilles—and yet, those five minutes apparently were enough for Antilochus to arrive at the party, spot Achilles, make a beeline for him through the people gathered, and start chatting him up.

It also isn't lost on Patroclus that Antilochus did all of this shirtless.

Achilles' laughter is bright and clear over the beat of the music when Patroclus draws near, and though it is usually Patroclus’ favourite sound, now it makes something sharp and ugly flare hot inside him. Antilochus is grinning at having made Achilles laugh, his teeth sparkly white against his tan, and Patroclus has to try very hard to stop himself from clocking the man in the jaw.

“Pat!” Achilles exclaims happily when he sees him. He loops an arm around Patroclus’ waist to pull him closer, accepting his drink with the other hand. “Antilochus here was telling me about his summer house in Pylos.”

“Huh.” Patroclus can't begin to imagine what could be so funny about it to make Achilles laugh like that, but then Antilochus follows it up with, “I'll have it all to myself this summer, as it happens. You—both of you—are more than welcome to visit.”

And, yeah, Patroclus has to admit that it is actually pretty funny, because Antilochus must be fucking joking if he is even entertaining the idea of Achilles spending any amount of time in the same house as he.

“That sounds great, doesn’t it, Pat? I hear Pylos is lovely in the summer. Great beaches.” Achilles grins, taking a sip of his mimosa.

What Patroclus should have said to that is: Over my dead fucking body.

“Yeah,” he says instead, smiling tightly and nodding politely.

Antilochus gives Achilles another one of his dazzling smiles, and Patroclus has the vague impression that he's flexing his muscles—God, could he be any more shirtless?

“Promise you'll think about it, okay? I'd love to have you.”

“Yeah, no shit,” Patroclus mutters, narrowing his eyes at Antilochus' back as he walks away.
