#song of Achilles

[inkpotgodd]

Using Achilles death as a reference to draw him in his prime is kinda criminal.

[hollowbug97]

When Patroclus said that he would know Achilles in darkness or in disguise, he would know him by touch, by smell, by his breath or how his feet struck the earth, he would know him in madness or in death; I knew that MY love was real too

Some Patrochilles art I made a while ago :)

-war takes-

Achilles mourned like Patroclus was half his soul

But war was cruel and ever hungry

War didn't care who it took

War didn't care who it tore apart

Patroclus had taken Achilles’ name

And rode to war-

And in return

War took

It did not care

That Achilles was left alone

Till his mortal days were up

When they laid him in the earth

Next to Patroclus

They were destined

To find each other

In every life,

Forever and on

Reading patrochilles tumblr screenshots on Pinterest is apparently enough to make me make giddy noises

I am so normal

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

@painlandweek Day 2 - Myths & Legends 4koma about Charles' admiration for the totally non-romantic and not at all tragic relationship of Achilles and Patroclus.

When Patroclus said 'I would know Achilles in dark or disguise. I would know it even in madness', I knew my love was real.

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.
