One day, I'll have a harrowing therapy session and won't feel like impulse buying a bunch of shit afterwards. One day

JO... THE NEWEST BBB CHAPTER... I love that Achilles had a moment of "hmm do I give up all this fancy stuff to be with Pat" that was such a funny part to me HAHAHA And gosh the dread I felt when Thetis stopped Patroclus and made her words pierce through his core,, woa I'm very much scared for these two. It's so amazing how you wrote Patroclus in this story, because once again he's held back by feeling indebted to the Pelides family. Also it's funny to me that Achilles was like "dw you can just be my trophy husband while I do my modelling and socials stuff" because in my head BBB!Patroclus isn't the type to just chill all the time 😭😭 That was such a fun read, thank you for giving us this update! Love the messy drama in this au >:]

I'M GLAD YOU LOVED THE DRAMA!!!! There's a constant stream of it with these two 🤣

Achilles has been trying to come up with ways to escape the matrix for many years now, but unfortunately he loves the money and power a little too much to fully commit.... he did give it a decent shot this time though 😔 for like 0.2 seconds LMAO

Also yeah, Patroclus as a trophy husband might be a liiiiittle bit odd but honestly I can see where Achilles is coming from! Patroclus has been working himself to the bone for years, he deserves a rest. Even if it might drive him insane lmao he still needs to chill and slow down. So Achilles' logic isn't entirely wrong here.

Honestly Thetis is the villain of this story right now alongside Patroclus' epic levels of self-loathing and depression (everyone is their worst self in this story). I'm really glad you like my characterisation of Patroclus in this, I very much wanted to zoom into Patroclus' guilt complexes in this fic, and how deeply indebted he feels to the Pelides family. Like Peleus didn't just give him a home, he also gave him status and money and power and most importantly a purpose, so now it's sooo hard for Patroclus to give all of that up and fearing that he'll let everyone down. One the one hand he might come across as a coward, and while it's true that he's afraid of losing the only certainty and safety he ever had, he's also very honour bound as a person. So... idk, I feel like, knowing his background and also coming from a culture that places family ties in really high esteem, I can understand how deeply Patroclus might be struggling.

I hope you enjoy the rest of the drama!!!

Hi!!! I was wondering, do you have any headcanons for Patroclus living well without Achilles? If so, what would it take for him to be self-reliant? Born Baby Blue got me thinking because that’s a totally plausible take on an Achilles who wants more than Pathetic Patroclus.

Oof that one's a tough question. I'm honestly not sure. I think that they could both potentially reach a point where they're more or less content with their life, even when the other one isn't around (Achilles travelling the world/doing all those modelling gigs/perhaps even doing something with music like he’s always wanted, and Patroclus managing to find good work/life balance and focusing more on his relationships outside of work, spending more time with friends, meeting someone new, getting some therapy) but there’s always going to be something missing. Like whatever it is they're living isn't quite right. I just imagine Patroclus hanging out with Briseis and their other friends, or doing something he genuinely enjoys, and then it hits him that Achilles isn't in his life anymore. That he doesn't know what he's doing, and that there’s no way to have him back in his life without them both hurting in the process. He can never truly be a happy man because he's only half a man; his other half is missing and there's no way of getting it back. And all of a sudden nothing feels real.

*Cue cinematic of Pat with that thousand yard stare in the middle of a crowded room, while everything around him moves in slow mo*

Rules: refresh your pinterest and save the 3rd pic, 4 times. That's your aesthetic.
