There is no heterosexual explanation for a soldier to kneel in front of her commander like that okay???
The vulnerability???
The devotion????
The love written deep in her soul????

“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
#i KNOW it’s not healthy i KNOW but there’s something so visceral about it#it’s about the reflex of leaving this plane because they aren’t here anymore#even their muscles remember how much they love them#very patrochilles coded#patrochilles#other unrealistically devoted couples

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.
#ok so I had the cursed thought that this is very 'Sherlock is actually a girl's name'-coded and I must include that as a disclaimer#but ANYWAY#aristos the musical#iliad#patrochilles

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
#THE WAY HEPHAESTION DIED A YEAR BEFORE ALEXANDER????? HELLO????????#honestly mad respect to alexander tho he saw the blorbo from his book and went ‘I am going to be him’#AND FUCKING DID IT!!!! HE IS ACHILLES IF HE WAS REAL!!!!!!!!#no one can reach the degree of ‘he’s just like me fr’ than alexander did with achilles#both their names start with A for fucks sake#and their stories have been straight washed and their partners forgotten#EVEN THEIR HORSES ARE FAMOUS!!!!!!!! THAT’S INSANE!!!!!!!#at war with a powerhouse enemy for an extended amount of time… (though he did conquer like A LOT so…)#both are young as hell and are destined for greatness#god…#it’s 12am I need to go to sleep#alexander the great#hephaestion#history#alexander x hephaestion#achilles#patroclus#the iliad#patrochilles

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✨
#homoerotic corpse cuddling#fellas is it gay to love your bestie like a wife#and grieve so intensely you go mad with obsession#Achilles’ obsession with revenging Patroclus’ death at the cost of his own life and humanity#Gilgamesh’s obsession with immortality after having a mental breakdown over Enkidu’s death#the iliad#the epic of gilgamesh#achilles#patroclus#patrochilles#gilgamesh#enkidu

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

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--

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

So one of my besties and I were talking about which pokemons we would assign to patrochilles. I imagined achilles would have some water type pokemons cuz of his nereid origins and i jokingly said achilles would have a piplup (cuz I love piplup)
BUT then I remembered
Piplup is very Achilles coded with its personality. Also if you grew up watching the anime, Dawn's piplup (which is a male btw) often got dressed up in girly clothes which brings me back to Skyros arc.
Achilles will 100% own a piplup. A Shiny one that too cuz if achilles was a pokemon he would be a Shiny pokemon nonetheless
Oh that's so interesting! I was never into pokemon but I can see how that one would be a good match for Achilles 😊

“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.
