Patroclus describing Achilles be like:

Summer on Mt. Pelion

[patrochillesvibes]

achilles n pat

[patrochillesvibes]

sometimes I read a radioactively bad take and just sit there like "not only do you not understand this story but you fundamentally do not understand how stories work in general, and you have never considered that your discord with every piece of fiction you come across could possibly be a problem on your end"

3. favorite line/scene you read this year

I’m going to cheat and use a fic that I only had read this year. It was not also written in 2024, it was written in 2022, but it is so so 🤌

"Like Odysseus says of Penelope that he loves only her and then every night he brings another girl into his tent?" he rages. "You say yourself that I am too gullible! I refuse to believe any of you anymore! All the lot of you ever do is lie!"

Chapter 5, eromenos and erastes by ixyon

This line fucking gutted me. Achilles has grown jealous of attention that Patroclus is paying to Briseis and has gotten into a heated argument with him over it. His heartbreak and betrayal and shattered innocence is just so visceral. My thoughts exactly, Achilles. My thoughts exactly. My heart too is breaking for you. Is it love when you spend all your free time raping sex slaves and fucking your friends?

I know there’s a lot of criticism for us patrochilles monogamous truthers out there and well 🤷‍♀️ didn't ask, don't care.

14?

In the spirit of fic rec Friday, a fic you didn’t expect to read.

Putting together a kinktober list was challenging bcs when it comes to icks I have very hard icks and I didn’t want to be too biased on my list.

For patrochilles, my main hard ick is poly/open. I decided not to include the kink, but in my travels I came across this extremely compelling concept for a Hades Game verse omega Achilles that I could not ignore. It inspired me to put together an ABO rec list. And so without further ado, here it is:

The House Omega by bladespark | E | 8.7k |

By some quirk of fate, the House of Hades has several alphas, but no omegas. So when Hades has a chance to recruit the omega Achilles as a house servant, he includes a clause in the shade's contract. Achilles is to be on duty when he goes into heat, and the House's alphas are free to make use of him.

It’s such a spicy and compelling concept. I can completely see it happening

24. favorite fic you read this year

This is probably the hardest ask I’ve ever gotten. To make it a little easier, I’m going to narrow it down to both fics I read in 2024 and fics written in 2024.

That said, I gotta go with:

Fall For You All Over Again by bergamotbasil | NR | genderchilles |

Does it count as cheating if you're cheating on your husband with your wife?

Pyrrha is THE BEST! She is the prettiest girl in the world and she deserve it ALL. I LOVE her. So of course I’m going to pick a Pyrrha fic!

[patrochillesvibes]

The self is not so weightless, nor whole and unbroken Remember the pact of our youth Where you go, I’m going, so jump and I’m jumping Since there is no me without you Soldier on, Achilles, Achilles, come down

My handwriting’s a bit shit, so here’s the song that Pat is singing aalksddf

I’ve only met him ONCE in the game, but by god were his closed-off yearning vibes potent

[patrochillesvibes]

25. a fic you read this year you would recommend everyone read

Most of the fics I like to talk about and to rec are very spicy and I have to recognize that my kink preferences are not for everyone. That being said, I’ll go with a general fiction theme.

This is the greatest patrochilles fanfiction ever written. It’s canon to me.

I Hoped That You Would Come by ferrisu | M | 30.8k |

After his death, Achilles finds himself in the underworld. Prepared to face his judgement and eternity, he marches into hell, only to learn that Patroclus never arrived. He sets up vigil outside the gates, and waits.

[patrochillesvibes]

idk about you guys, but I'm not sucking the cock of a dead white man from an old European society that considered women to be property and had legalized pedophilia. that's just not me. you do you, I guess.

[patrochillesvibes]

The song of Achilles was truly something of an experience. I mean, yes, my soul is shattered but now i have an entirely new perspective of the iliad which is a part of my culture and this book actually helped me understand and appreciate it better. Anyway, here’s some pain in the form of fanart

[patrochillesvibes]

is there anything better than pathetic wet cat burritochilles?

[patrochillesvibes]

extra wet bc i love u

[patrochillesvibes]

“Grief swelled inside me, choking me. His death. I felt as if I was dying just to think of it; plummeting through a blind, black sky. You must not go. I almost said it, a thousand times. Instead I held his hands fast between mine; they were cold, and very still.” 

From The Song of Achilles. I love the quiet intimacy of this scene.

In fandom and media, people [of] color simply don’t matter even in works where they make up the main .... We live in a world where people of color are seen as less valuable than white people. This translates to fandom where the value that fans place on characters influences the way folks talk [about] people of color and what content they create for them. Fandom’s whole thing about neatly snipping characters of color from their own narratives and edging out people of color... is racist because it’s yet another way that they show how little people of color matter.... [....] A common cry of the called out racist is “I’m not/can’t be racist, I like [character of color]”/ [ship with character of color]”. This claim is usually made by folks who’ve turned their blogs into shrines for certain white characters or ships between white characters. Folks that try to derail and deflect comments about their/fandom’s racism by trotting out every single character of color that they don’t actively loathe as a smokescreen. Folks whose blogs are largely devoid of the very characters of color that they profess to love so much. Fandom is full of people that swear up and down that they really do love [x character or performer of color] even as they share and support fanworks that remove them from the stage or scene entirely in order to focus almost exclusively on white (male) characters.
