A One-Year Redraw of this
The privilege of access to resources and practice really is crazy, huh 🤣 I was convinced it would take me a decade to get anywhere close to this lmao.

Odysseus: If your love story was a movie, what would it be?
Patroclus: Probably a tragicomedy
Achilles: what? why?
Patroclus: Because it's got the drama of the war and comedy of your stubbornness.
Achilles: And the tragic of your terrible jokes.
Patroclus: They're gold to someone... Just not you.
Achilles: Wait no-

Me: *casually watching my fav Youtube chennels video on The Best Couples in History*
Video: *starts with Achilles and Patroclus*
Me: Oooohhh yayyy. I love them. They better not mention that cursed book
Video: Historians and classicists alike have done a poor job at representing these two.
Me: Yes, very true.
Also Video: For better representation, go read The Song of Achilles-
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Bro, my unyielding loyalty towards you is totally normal and healthy, I swear. It's just that it's definitely my duty to rip out your enemies throats with my bare teeth. You are the love of my life and I am your most valuable tool. Each night, I fantasize about dying in your arms, covered in blood, and then I close my eyes one final time, satisfied because I can feel your fingers on my face as I take my last breath. Haha anyways

“And perhaps it is the greater grief, after all, to be left on earth when another is gone. [...] When he died, all things soft and beautiful and bright would be buried with him.” 🩸
“In the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless, heavy dusk. Their hands meet, and light spills in a flood like a hundred golden urns pouring out of the sun.” 🌻
Two souls, reunited.
(quotes from Madelline Miller's The Song Of Achilles)

It’s the middle of the night. Chiron should probably get some sleep. Looking out of his window he sees two boys, they’re stargazing. Achilles! He thinks. Patroclus!
It’s only then that he realises that Patroclus’ skin is way too white and as glorious as Achilles was, he definitely didn’t light up like a glow stick in the night. It’s not them. It’s just Nico and Will.
It’s been over 2000 years, they’re dead, Chiron, they’re dead.

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.
— Achilles
