#* ｡✧ ━ ⦅ ship: achilles / patroclus. ⦆

[brainrotcharacters]

The one where Wade and Logan remind me of Achilles and Patroclus

Because what the fuck do you mean "Do I know you, bub?" Bitch I'm going to spay you

You would recognize him by touch alone. By smell.

You would know him blind by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth.

You would know him in death at the end of the world.

Straight love stories are like: we saw each other and thought they were hot, we kissed and now we’re in love

Queer love stories are like: “He is half of my soul as the poets say”, “I would've loved you if we had more time”, “He was a boy made of fire who'd been turned to frost. He was meant to burn”, “all the people are fake. Theyre made out of metal. But I like you… and that is not fake”, “Ismail Shah, did he forget the color of Isfahan's sky?”

I have the headcanon that Achilles and Deidamia didn't love each other

They were simply horny teenagers with not enough parental supervision

Like I imagine, both Achilles and Deidamia being like 16 and saying "She's the love of my life, I want to marry her!!!" And "But Dad I love him!"

And then later when they're both 20, they cringe at the memory and realize that no, they were just teens and very horny

Bonus points if Patroclus makes fun of him for that lol

Achilles: I'm sure you know why I called you in here. Patroclus: Is it because of that dick pic I accidentally sent you? Achilles: stops pouring two glasses of wine, blows out the candles, turns off his 'let's do it' playlist, hides the box of condoms behind a pillow Achilles: Accidentally???

[cassiopoet]

close enough. welcome back achilles and patroculus!

(picture cred: @/vampyre-bite)

[cvmcicle]

yeah

[spineless-lobster]

No because when Achilles said to Patroclus “If only the multitude of Trojans would die, and all the Greeks, and we alone, the two of us, survived the devastation, so we alone together could destroy the sacred crown of Troy.”

and when Egan said to Cleven “If this whole thing ended and there were only two pilots left up in the air… It’d be me and it’d be you, Buck.”

[friendoffrogss]

I'm fucking tired of the jegulus Achilles and Patroclus parallels, give me the Icarus and Apollo Parallels! That shit is fire (literally), fly too close to the sun and you'll get burned Reg

[emlizziethecat]

Achilles: Don’t worry, I have a few knives up my sleeve. Patroclus: I think you mean cards. Achilles, pulling knives out of his sleeves: No, I do not.

Isn’t homophobia just hilarious?

I mean, 750 BC was when the Iliad was thought to have been written. 750 BC. And people still argue gay people are a fad.

Hm. Right.
