Patrochilles

reread tsoa 🫠

I love the idea of Achilles looking slightly uncanny, bc he is the closest a mortal can ever be to a god

he doesn't rly tan nor burn, but the sun seems to reflect on his skin like on a golden plate.

he's so pretty it actually is unsettling. It's like if 10 years of war didn't affect him at all. He still looks like a young prince, cherished by his mother.

when he walks or even runs on the sand, he leaves little to no footprints.

His sweat naturally smells like sea/iode. The more he sweats (ex during training or battles), the more he reminds of his nereid heritage.

His teeth are slightly too sharp. Not enough to look inhuman, but enough to make you feel uncomfortable when he smiles or bare his teeth at you.

“Patroclus is my sworn companion. His place is beside me.” 

The Song Of Achilles, ch. 10

The way Achilles and Patroclus are the literal embodiment of

“You came”

“You called”

[bcb-brian-camryn]

The Iliad would've ended differently if Patroklos threatened to break up with Achilles (or at least withhold sex from him) until he rejoined the war efforts.

The moment the words would've slipped out of Patroklos' lips, Achilles would already be in his armour and halfway to Illos/Troy.

“Name one hero who was happy."

"You can't." He was sitting up now, leaning forward. "I can't."

"I know. They never let you be famous AND happy." He lifted an eyebrow. "I'll tell you a secret." "Tell me." I loved it when he was like this.

"I'm going to be the first." He took my palm and held it to his. "Swear it." "Why me?" "Because you're the reason. Swear it."

"I swear it.”

Hi, does someone have some patrochilles fan fiction to recommend, it is okay also alternative universe, but I don’t read any fan fiction that is not completed yet. Thank you ❤️

[edgyswordcascade]

i’ve seen people quoting/sharing this*:

when he says "ily", but achilles once said "i would recognize you in total darkness, were you mute and i deaf. i would recognize you in another lifetime entirely, in different bodies, different times. and i would love you in all of this, until the very last star in the sky burnt out into oblivion."

*recognition by captainskellington on ao3

then others will bring up how it wasn’t achilles but patroclus who said that (and they mean That Quote from tsoa). and.. it makes me wish that this, what achilles says in book 22 of the iliad, was more known:

when your fandom is so old alexander the great was a part of it

Obsessed with the fact that Achilles thought that when he died Patroclus will just (go to Sciros) return to Opus and continue his life but when Patroclus died Achilles basically killed himself (in a complex and long way but basically is what he did)

[spineless-lobster]

Whenever I’m sad I think about that scene in the odyssey where odysseus sees achilles, patroclus and antilochus frolicking in the asphodel fields together and then I am reminded that love and joy is real

[seadhna24]

i think its so funny when ppl who read the iliad get mad at tsoa only readers for liking achilles becuz when i read tsoa before the iliad, i didn’t like achilles at all, i thought he was annoying af

[ashes-of-a-moon-crater]

patroclus: i am sad

achilles: i would kill 1.000 men if that would make you happy

patroclus: and how would that make me happy exactly?

achilles: idk its a lot of men

patroclus: please dont kill anyone

achilles: maybe 100? 50?

patroclus: no

achilles: i can kill-

patroclus: i dont need murder achilles i need a hug

achilles: oh okay yeah i can do that too
