#song of Achilles

[slugs-n-bugz]

“we were like gods at the dawning of the world, and our joy was so bright we could see nothing else but the other.” ☀️

reading song of achilles rn and it’s absolutely wrecking me. i wanted to draw them when they were younger atop othrys with chiron, before they knew they were apart of a doomed narrative 💔

Have you seen "Achilles Lamenting the Death of Patroclus?" I think that's the name of the painting, but there are several similar ones.

This is one of them that I had saved

Can I just put something here that I think everyone should see.

Look at Achilles. He looks so funny. Briseis looks like she wants nothing to do with anything anymore. Anyway I thought you all should see this.

Left is MY FIC, right is the ACTUAL BOOK QUOTE IT WAS INSPIRED BY

(Mask context: masquerade ball / cinderella au)

It has been doing numbers EVERYWHERE and I only found out from this lovely person who commented on Ao3:

So yeah I guess if anyone wants to read an 8 year old Song of Achilles fanfic written in a fever dream after watching Into The Woods, be my guest

[weirdgirlvampire]

Oh characters doomed from the start we’re really in it now

[tenoart]

Hector of troy- because most art I see of him is in armour or scary and that needed fixed

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