#Patroclus and Achilles

[yourcurrentany]

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)

The thing that gets me giddy is the fact that Logan goes from "Do I know you, bub?" to "WADE! You don't have to do this!"

Between Achilles and Patroclus, it was always Patroclus who followed Achilles. To Chiron,to the Island of Scyros and to Troy. But in the end, it was Achilles who followed Patroclus to death.

achilles and odysseus: *sitting in the jail*

odysseus: so what are we going to do now?

achilles: i would call patroclus, but i feel safer in the jail

odysseus: *thinking about penelope*

odysseus: same bro, same

Random Headcannon: What if Achilles was indeed blonde (and not redhead like some alternate translations of "xanthos" are) but he actually dyed his hair with henna (henna has a reddish brown color for hair) when he disguised himself as a woman to take the name Pyrrha?

And the idea of Patroclus randomly walking in as Achilles is dying his hair and have a jump scare is too funny in my head to ignore!

Wikipedia: Homer hid the love of Achilles and Patroclus

Wikipedia literally five lines ago: The relationship between Patroclus and Achilles is one of the main factors that drive the plot in the Iliad. Homer described the friendship between the two as close and emotionally intense. When Patroclus is killed, Achilles says that his pain is greater than he would have felt from the death of his father or son. Apollo comments that Achilles' feelings for one another are out of the ordinary, even between siblings or parents and children.

my Roman empire is when Patroclus recognizes Achilles even from afar, even when Achilles dressed up as a girl he could still recognize him, even when the others couldn't he can, he could recognize him from smell alone, even saying out his distinct features and comparing them to certain objects,praising him for anything's,admiring him for everything he does.

Patroclus deserves more idgaf what y'all say

The one where Wade and Logan remind me of Achilles and Patroclus

Because what the fuck do you mean "Do I know you, bub?" Bitch I'm going to spay you

You would recognize him by touch alone. By smell.

You would know him blind by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth.

You would know him in death at the end of the world.

I like to think that Achilles, Hector and Patroclus are all sitting in Elysium laughing together whilst hurling rocks at Paris in the Fields of Punishment

Odysseus: Why is Achilles so sad?

Patroclus: He took one of those ‘What character are you?’ quizzes.

Odysseus: And?

Patroclus: He got Agamemnon.

patroclus: don’t you have that voice in your head that whispers “stop” to you before you do something stupid?

achilles: no?..

patroclus: ah

patroclus: that actually explains a lot
