Vea I love your Patrochilles so much

I'm not drawing armor again (few notes under cut)

I heavily based the armor from this pottery art where Achilles is bandaging Patroclus' arrow wound only changing their skirts/kilts(?) and a few elements. Also changed Achilles' helmet a bit because I really want to lean in on the idea his face is obscured so Patroclus is not recognized when he's wearing it (from afar at least)

Achilles Doodle

Idk why I made this but here we go

Pyrrhus is Achilles without Pat

When Pyrrhus goes to the war, he is actually so inhumane that even Agamemnon doesn't like the way he kills (in my opinion). So his humanity and kindness he does not have it, he was cared by a god. So maybe if he was cared by achilles or patroclus he would be more kind.

Real

Such an underrated Achilles moment is him cutting off his hair to place in Patroclus' hands before lighting his funeral pyre. Like, listen listen listen, the main reason our boy grew his hair long at all is because his father promised it to the river-god Spercheus upon his safe return home. Please. Peleus promised to sacrifice his son's beautiful hair in exchange for his beautiful son's homecoming. And Achilles, fucking Achilles (beloved/beloathed), cuts it all off to give to Patroclus on his final journey, because he knows, he knows, the river-god won't fulfill his father's request. Because Achilles won't let him. Because in that moment, Achilles already knows he won't be coming home.
