In Romeo and Juliet, Mercutio called Tybalt "Prince of Cats" because there was a book, popular at the time, with a cat prince named Tybalt in it. He was making a pop culture reference. Therefore, I move, that in a modern Romeo and Juliet retelling, Tybalt should be named Garfield.

remembered that agamemnon refers to diomedes as κεχαρισμένε θυμῷ in the iliad and just started laughing

Diomedes and his crew (who are currently albatrosses oops)

Which way I fly is Hell; my self am Hell; And in the lowest deep a lower deep Still threatening to devour me opens wide, To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heaven.

the thing about sthenelus and diomedes is that if diomedes sees sthenelus in a fight he’s jumping in to help no questions asked. the thing about odysseus and diomedes is that he’s asking questions.

You know...the urge of having Achilles have romantic feelings for Patroclus but Patroclus not reciprocating them (or potentially not even knowing it) and loving him as deeply as Achilles does, just platonically is way too great and delicious not to use! Like the potential!

Achilles having different emotions than Patroclus and the way he clings on him all the time when they play or when they spar...he catches some glance of Patroclus or tries to be close to him, feel his warmth in his desperate love that is not recruited in a romantic or sexual way. Desperately dreams and wishes for it and he tries to fantasize it and yet he always feels happy when he is with Patroclus and desperate when he is afar.

He burns in jealousy every time Patroclus speaks to someone else especially women or other men close to his age. After some time he starts to provide women and girls for Patroclus (slaves or others) because if Patroclus were to get a lover it should be his choice. Making sure there is no romance involved. Making sure he won't lose Patroclus to anyone else. Causing his edgy reactions being fueled by the never satisfied passion.

And yet there is no way this would happen given how he is also the most precious person to Patroclus regardless of romance.

Not sure if this will be the line I would go with but it does create some intrigue and room for stories 🤔 all the classical "fully platonic" or "fully romantic" relationships are still on my table. This is just a random thought I had hehe 😜 just imagine the potential!

The trope where people don't recognize each other because it's been so long since they last interacted and they've both changed so much that they're basically strangers UNTIL one of them does their Signature Thing™ and the other just stops dead because oh. It's YOU. All at once it's so clearly you
