My personal take on Patrochilles is that they are both lovers AND friends. You know how a relationship often starts with a friendship first??? Well they never grew out of the friendship part of their relationship. But their relationship is neither romantic nor platonic. They just,,, are. There was never strictly a time where they stopped being platonic and started being romantic - the lines of the nature of their relationship are really blurry - as they grew older they just started displaying affection in different ways. There was never a need to put a label on their relationship. Because like,, why have Achilles lose just a friend or just a lover - when he could lose a lover, a friend, a best friend, a brother, a comrade, a partner-in-crime ALL in one??? Really drives home the idea of Achilles' grief and rage - he literally lost the man who was everything to him.
Long story short: qpp patrochilles (in a way)

For the oc question thing
🎹🥊🧠 for Ripley and Taliesin? I wanna know more about your sidesteps :)
(i'm deeply amused by the fact that i did interpret this emoji combo not as "these correlate to specific questions on the ask game i reblogged!" and instead as "mm yes Brain Fighting Piano makes sense")
🎹 - Do they have any hobbies?
Tal: i've said it before but i think if they weren't trying to be a supervillain they would make the most insane synth music you've ever heard. they like music that is loud and crunchy and keeps your brain from being able to think and they're the right kind of nerd to teach themself music production for fun. not quite a hobby per se but it's also been my headcanon for a long time for them that they've been learning ASL, so i think they practice in their downtime, maybe take online classes if they got the chance.
Ripley: ripley collects stupid novelty lighters. he loves shitty horror movies and would love horror games if he had time for gaming between his previous commitments of "Beating Up Superheroes" and "Enduring The Terrors". despite his temper, he really likes working on meticulous technological things- he's the kind of guy to build his own PC and do all his own repairs on it, for better or for worse. i'd say he could get into robotics, but he's Also the kind of guy to tape a knife to a roomba and call it a security system, soooo. (oh god, in an ideal world, ripley would compete in those battle robot competitions, he would LOVE that shit.)
🥊 -What do they love to do? What do they hate to do?
Tal: they love escaping from themselves, feeling like they've made a tangible difference, and taking their time to drink their coffee in the morning. they hate making snap decisions without being able to understand the bigger picture.
Ripley: he loves working on a DIY project, spending time around dogs, cleaning, and telling people No just because he can. he hates being told what to do, lying, giving in or giving up.
🧠 - What do you like most about the OC?
Tal: i love their strong principles, exploring their complicated moral compass, and accidentally giving them a different hairstyle every time i draw them and saying "fuck it, that's canon now"
Ripley: i love his terrible bastard attitude, the power he holds just by being himself, and drawing his shitty choppy DIY haircut <3
(thank you for asking!!! the oc ask game questions are here for anyone interested :3)
