OH MY GODDDD IM OBSESSED IM OBSESSED achilles is my fav greek figure ever i love how u drew him sm oh my gosh i love his stupid face sm. i’m so amazed ur art is so gorgeous im dumbfounded im obsessed

some of you may know that i’m about 22k words into an enemies to lovers telemachus/neoptolemus fic rn and for those of you don’t know that, hi, i am in fact writing that.

their dynamic is very special to me (especially the version in my head where they attempt to kill each other on multiple occasions but it only causes them to fall more in love with each other) but genuinely the way i came to the idea of shipping them was literally just bc i was thinking “odysseus and achilles would HATE to be in-laws”

like you cannot tell me that achilles wouldn’t be spinning in his grave at the idea of his son dating the son of odysseus. his ass could NOT handle having to see odysseus at family gatherings. and odysseus would find it all so fucking funny. like on principle he would not approve of his son dating achilles’ son, but he’d also see achilles bursting a blood vessel trying to be diplomatic and he’d decide that it’s all worth it.

and in my head there’s this modern au where like achilles is alive and neo, his estranged son who he doesn’t have a good relationship with, comes to him like “father i want to get your blessing on my relationship” and achilles is thinking “ok let’s not fuck this up this is my chance to rekindle my relationship with my son” but then when neo says “i am gay. i am dating odysseus’ son” achilles has a fucking panic attack and neo assumes it’s bc achilles is homophobic and he’s like “father i cannot change who i am. i am gay” and achilles is frantically like “NO IDC THAT UR GAY BUT CAN YOU PLEASE BE GAY WITH LITERALLY ANYBODY ELSE??????”

it’s romeo and juliet core if you think abt it. the feud is achilles hating odysseus and odysseus thinking it’s the funniest thing ever

ofc i actually do really like neo and telemachus’ potential dynamic and i have a lot a lot of thoughts on it but i just think it’s so funny to look at achilles and odysseus’ perspective on this

#I FEEL THE SAME WAY ABT ACHILLES he has no scars to me he’s just that cool and sexy #i’m actually obsessed idk what to say this is so gorgeous #NEO A MAN OF ACTIONS!!!#he’s so bad with his words he has to use actions to show his love #and telemachus is the opposite bc he’s a charmer #old women probably love to pinch his cheeks #tele kisses neo on the cheek and neo BLUESCREENS #he’d pass out #they’d have such a fun dynamic as kids #just two lil guys #NO YES U MAKE SM SENSE TALKING ABT NEO ACHILLES AND DEIDAMIA #like deidamia would have tried to raise neo with sm love #but neo still craves something from his father that he never gets #and he’s torn between hating his dad and just wanting approval from him #and in my head neo looks like a carbon copy of achilles just with red hair #and he looks in the mirror and he’s always reminded of the person who will never give him what he wants #AND DEIDAMIA TOO she and achilles have a ….. not very good relationship to say the least #and she looks at neo and sees achilles even if she doesn’t want to #and neo just internalizes sm self hatred over it bc to him all these problems are bc of HIM #i just love him sm #he’s also completely a simp yes #he’s all angsty and brooding except for when he sees telemachus #he just turns into the blushy emoji #fic art #art museum
