#and they are so patrochilles coded!

[milomilesmib]

Every achillean couple sees patrochilles and goes "omg they're so us!!!"

“There’s a hole that you fill, you fill. It’s just that I fell in love with a war.”

this line from A Pearl by Mitski but it’s just achilles apologizing to patroclus’ dead body after he [achilles] finally killed hector.

i know it’s not healthy but god when a character discovers that their love is dead and they lunge for their weapon to join them

Another new passage from Aristos Draft 6! In my retelling, I wanted to peer into the in-between time, when Patroclus had already committed to fighting in the war, but Achilles had not yet made the fateful decision to join him.

And love me for eternity My dearest one, my darling dear Your mighty words astound me But I've no need for mighty deeds When I feel your arms around me

But I would bring you rings of gold I'd even sing you poetry And I would keep you from all harm If you would stay beside me

I have no use for rings of gold I care not for your poetry I only want your hand to hold

I only want you near me

no scorching sun nor freezing cold 

will stop me on my journey 

if you will promise me your heart

Alexander the great and hephaestion are so patrochilles coded it genuinely makes me sick to my stomach like how the fuck did they make the iliad in real life what the actual hell this is so fucked up

[voidcatofbedlam]

Finally read the epic of Gilgamesh. The relationship between Gilgamesh and Enkidu was compared to that of Achilles and Patroclus in the introduction.

Ah yes a great friendship indeed

Yes I know technically they came first but it’s so patrochilles coded my heart can’t handle them.

One followed the other and left first, two parts of a whole yet fated to be separated, violent grief and questionable decisions…

And historians say they are ✨best friends✨

gold rush by taylor swift is so incredibly patrochilles coded i'm screaming throwing up crying rn

Given the nature of the Tolkien fandom and just tumblr in general I’m gonna go ahead and assume you guys have heard of Patrochilles. And so I would like to take a moment and consider the very reasonable and normal question of who is the Achilles and who is the Patroclus of Russingon. On the one hand the Nirnaeth Arnoediad followed directly by Maedhros’ descent into insanity is very Achilles coded. He blames himself for his death, there’s the whole devotion thing, Fingon being a ray of sunshine and the only good thing in Nelyo’s world, Maedhros having Feanorian related pride and stubbornness etc. This post, like Maehdros, has no other hand. That’s it that’s all I’ve got. Fingon is a Patroclus and Maedhros is an Achilles.

All I’m saying is that there’s a reason Achilles Come Down is on pretty much every Maedhros playlist I’ve seen. As it should be

Am I insane or am I insane bc Tomarrymort is literally so Patrochilles coded in NG 😭 I MEAN

“He is half of my soul, as the poets say. I could recognise him by touch alone, by smell, I would know him blind. By the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death. At the end of the world.”

Not to mention, Achilles is depicted as this killing machine and his only weakness ever (considering he's a borderline immortal demi-god) is Patroclus. He dies because of Patroclus, because somebody kills him and he just goes APE. Harry's quite literally V's Achilles' heel.

true true true p

Idk how to explain it but Valgrace is so Patrochilles coded. Something about the fact that Leo died for Jason and Jason died when he thought Leo was dead I just--

Y'know what i love making lists apperantly so here's one clearing up the misconceptions re Pjo characters and lgbt stuff/gender

Percy is NOT masculine in any way PLEASE at least not in a white way(afropunk),literally every transfem in the fandom i've met which have been a loooooot think she's an egg and a very femme one specifically.They're the ones who use Percy's actual personality and story too so they're right and they should say it

Idc about your opinion on Percabeth,Annabeth is a wlw and it dosen't need to involve Percy in any way,especially if you make jokes about her being a girl like she's actually a binary guy(if you do chances are you've never had a girlfriend)

Thalia's not a pick me,she's a 90s/2000s girl raised who's mentally and physically 15.Also has as much tgirl swag as Percy does and is probs a lesbian(Goth transbian swag specifically and all That with Reyna)

Piper is even LESS of a pick me,it's right there in the text that femininity was ruined for Piper because of racist white girl bullies and didn't have native girl friends to help her reclaim it and Rick's a pussy for not making her a brown butch queen.Do not buy into the propaganda,it's made by trans girlypop Percy haters so they're overcompensating

Nico is nobody's [insert sexual word here],he's 15 and a touchestarved trauma gay who's scared to ask for affection.Also Percy's not his type personality wise,not physical apperance wise and this is what was said in the scene that launched the trope of Percy sexually harrasing him as 'comedy' by people who've never had boyfriends and also why they think Jason and Nico were queerbait

Speaking of Jason,pretty much any orientation makes perfect sense but he's definitely a tboy,Percy literally said he looks like Superman and he was raised by a wolfwoman

Leo is not ugly or an incel,people are just racist.Also he's the other side of Percy's coin Luke stans think he is

Luke's not gay-coded and i'd argue he comes off as a chaser more than anything consider all That with Percy,Annabeth,Thalia AND Silena who's a parallel to Patrochilles with Clarisse

Butch lesbian Clarisse is not stereotyping but playing off lesbian history amd reclamation because Rick highkey made her a caricature of fat butch lesbians

Fr*zel bad,Hazel's a lesbian who's never had a good dynamic with a guy that way

Also Frank is transmasc.His arc is about being emasculated for both being chinese-canadian and his personality on it's own but reclaiming manhood for himself and Mars' blessing is straight up called testosterone in the narration

Y'all can forget about Percy fucking those old men cause she described finding old dudes not handsome at least twice lol(and one of them was Luke LOL).She's 18 and as a 23 year old who wouldn't date an old person either cause like her i pull age appropriate people instead of being desperate

And not technically Pjo but Alex is textually a transfem who hates being theythemed.Rick's intentions are irrelevant,that's a common irl transfem thing and to erase that is transmisogyny

“I’m Your Man” is so patrochilles coded. You can’t listen to “I’m sorry I’m the one you love / no one will ever love me like you again / so when you leave me I shall die / I deserve it, don’t I?” and “You believe me like a god / I betray you like a man” and tell me that’s not Achilles’ thoughts post-Patroclus’ death.

[quirkylilcumlord]

omg satosugu are so fucking patrochilles coded how the fuck did i not notice before

[solaris-the-star]

‘Over the coast, everyone’s convinced, it’s achilles, he’s here to save us’

Yeah so this song???? Patrochilles coded

don’t fuckin talk to me rn

[johaerys-writes]

hey!! i just finished reading your fic “youre a walking disaster” and i loved it soo much ,, i think its probably one of my favorite patrochilles series, you did amazing :’> 🧡

i have a bit of a question though! somewhere along the fic, i kinda got the sense that achilles is pretty autistic coded or even neurodivergent, did you write him with this in mind? :0 either way, i thought the portrayal was really interesting to read and i kept bumping into specific parts thinking, “huh, these behaviors seem really familiar.”

anyway i dont mean to offend or assume anything, and im sorry if youve answered this question before! but i just thought it was incredibly interesting and wanted to ask ^^🧡

Hi!!! I'm so glad you loved my disasters AU, it really means a lot to me 🥹🫶

As for your question, Achilles is intentionally autistic coded in the fic! I have a lot of headcanons about this (how from a modern perspective Iliad Achilles' actions and behaviour can be read as being on the spectrum bc of his intense bursts of emotion, the way he talks and acts differently from the rest of the characters, his rigidity and strict adherence to rules and honourable code of conduct, as well as how blunt he is, among other things) and with Disasters I really wanted to extrapolate on those ideas while writing a version of Achilles that's more relatable perhaps than his mythical counterpart (whom I find pretty relatable as it is honestly). So you're totally not off the mark for finding his behavior familiar 😊
