Achilles : Patroclus...
Patroclus: Oh no, 'Patroclus' in b-flat.
Patroclus: You're disappointed.
finished tsoa, never talk to me again
"Patroclus, he says, Patroclus. Patroclus. Over and over until it is sound only."
-TSOA, Madeline Miller
I just finished the song of Achilles- I-
The way this book breaks your heart
I think Madeline Miller is secretly a goddess
What I think Iliad's caracherts favourite curse word is
Achilles: he doesn't actually curse, he uses mostly words like "freak" "shoot" etc
Patroclus: f*ck (and everything that has f*ck inside like f*cking sh*t etc)
Agamemnon: c*nt (really ugly as he is)
Odysseus: doesn't usually curse, but when he's mad he uses sh*t
Diomedes: any curse word will do
Ajax: anything not too offensive, like he would definitely use b*tch but not wh*re
Thesis: motherf*cker or bast*rd
Reblogging my art with folk songs I feel are fitting part 2
after “The Song of Achilles” by Madeline Miller (warning: violence)
Heliotropic soul who smells of spring.
Sunshine hair with gold-leafed summer irises,
Bright, shining from alabaster flesh.
Chiseled hands over carved wood,
Sinew-plucked strings.
They would never draw blood.
Winter is a minimalist,
Warmed by our roseate love,
Thawed anew.
"these flowers suit your hair so well"
achilles to distract myself from life's miseries
I just finished reading tsoa again-
reread tsoa and can't stop thinking about the fact they knew of achilles and patroclus.Everyone knew it, they must have seen: achilles falling to his knees in the middle of the agora cause patroclus has too much blood on his tunic from a rough day at medic, patroclus becoming the first soldier ever to return from battles without even a stracth bcz his feral dog can't stop doing laps around him, the way achilles doesn't attend any council meetings without him and doesn't make a single decision without eye contact with his philtatos, patroclus small talking with the camp and Achilles "I can't function without patroclus" pelides sulking,the fact that when patroclus ask someone if they slept well the other party can't do the same because everyone heard them last night.
