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.

"Have you no more memories?"
I am made of memories.
"Speak, then."
#qsmp fanart#that quote is from The Song Of Achilles#beautiful book#HUGE spoiler warning#in the last scene of the book patroclus and thetis are sitting together at achilles' grave watching the sunset#patroclus has just finished recounting the entirety of his life with achilles to thetis#and despite how much the two hated each other; and despite how much disdain thetis had for patroclus for being a human#for the first time in her life thetis understands how much those two meant to each other and how much achilles loved patroclus#and so she lets patroclus travel to the next world to be with him; she sends him off so they can be together#“go” she says. “he waits for you.”#that's basically what I'm thinking of here#an AU wherein which Fit and Madagio find themselves in each others' paths again and Madagio sees that Fit's grief hasn't swallowed him whol#Madagio is curios because he has never understood how to deal with grief in a way that isn't revenge#and asks about it#he asks about the rosebushes and the goggles#and after the two sit for days in a far-out reach of the wasteland; fit talking and madagio listening#madagio decides maybe he can spare the time and effort. maybe he can find a way to reunite fit with pac and ramon;#even if it's just for a minute#qsmp#fitmc#fitpac#madagio#qsmp madagio#54625art#holy shit sorry for yappin so much#mcyt#mcytblr

I would recognize you in total darkness: in different bodies, in different times

patroclus: *through gritted teeth* everyday i wake up and i choose to be kind. *barely restraining himself from violence* i choose to be helpful and understanding. *tamping down the vicious bloodlust inside* i am consciously choosing to be a nice person, and choosing to love
#achilles: guys no one disturb patroclus today he WILL punch you ok i was almost th victim myself akdjhwjs-#my guy definitely had anger issues as a child. but he's grown from it.#hes proof that you can be prone to rage but also the nicest person ever. icon frfr#source: tumblr#patroclus#achilles#patrochilles#the iliad#the song of achilles#tsoa#tsoa incorrect quotes#achilles x patroclus

Briseis: Life in the camp is not bad. Now I live with a dangerous murderer and Achilles.
Chryseis: Aren't those two the same person? Aren't you describing only Achilles?

“I would recognize you in total darkness, were you mute and I deaf. I would recognize you in another lifetime entirely, in different bodies, different times. And I would love you in all of this, until the very last star in the sky burnt out into oblivion.”

I recently finished 'Song of Achilles' and these are some of my favourite quotes:
1-"And perhaps it is the greater, after all, to be left on earth, when another is gone. Do you think?"
-Chiron
2-"I will tell you a secret." "I am going to be the first. Swear it." "Because you're the reason. Swear it."
-Achilles
3-"If you have to go, you know I will go with you."
-Achilles
4-...He started to speak but I was too quick for him. One of my hands went to clasp his knees, the other reached upward, to seize his chin with my hand. The pose of supplication. It was a gesture I had seen many times, but had never made myself. I was under his protection now; he was bound to treat me fairly, by the law of the gods.
"Tell me where he is."
-Patroclus
5- I think: this is what I will miss. I think: I will kill myself rather than miss it. I think: how long do we have?
6- ...As for the goddess' answer, I did not care. I would have no need of her. I did not plan to live after he was gone.
7- ...I could not bear it. There was only one thing I could think of. I turned to Achilles and seized the front of his tunic. I kissed him.
When I let go again she was staring at us. Staring and staring.
I gestured to her bonds, and back to the knife. 'All right?'
She hesitated a moment. Then slowly offered her hands.
8- ...It was easy to stay with them long and late, until I heard the creaking of the chariot, and the distant banging of bronze, and returned to greet my Achilles.
9-"So which of the suitors would you have picked?"
I shoved him and he laughed.
-Achilles
10- In the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless, heavy dusk. Their hands meet, and light spills in a flood, like a hundred golden urns pouring out the sun.
#1 is what they fear the most/ want the least#2 is a broken promise#3 is a decleration of love#4 is why patrocules would top; it is proof Patrocules could go feral for Achilles.#It is also underrated like why does no one talk about it?#5 and 6 are how i like my love written: heartbreaking and deadly#7 is so fucking awesome#i love it#8 gives married couple vibes#when i read 9 all i could think was: they were 17#10 is the bittersweet ending that made me disconnect from the world#i loved it#song of achilles#achilles#patroclus#patrochilles#book quotes

I just love how in "Achilles Come Down" there're two voices:
a) A poetic, monotone, calm voice trying slowly to persuade him not to jump and to use his pain as a tool to fight life as an opponent cause the soul is not weightless and some of them worry about him.
b) YA DENSE M*THER F***ER, JUMP NOW!
#achilles come down#ancient greek#greek mythology#greek songs#greek poem#greek poetry#i love how he goes from all of us to some of us like you cause agamemnon is there#it's definitely patroclus who's talking to him not to jump#how the most dangerous thing is to love#poem#poetry#dark acadamia quotes#light academia#love#dark acamedia#chaotic academia#love poems

I need your help Tumblr!
I need quotes from the Iliad that indicate a romantic relationship between Achilles and Patroclus for my paper, proofing that they were in fact a couple. Please guys, don't let me down, I know some of you guys have read the Iliad!
