Let me only slay Hector, and I do not care how soon death comes to me.

Sorry, but the whole “Hector is wearing Achilles’ own armor, taken from my corpse. It looks, almost, as if Achilles is chasing himself.” part just has me thinking… Who is Achilles truly hunting down on that battlefield? The man who killed Patroclus, or the man who let Patroclus walk into his demise? Who is Achilles trying to punish? Who is he truly trying to kill? Hector or himself?

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.

'I get undertones of sadness When I think about the moments That I never got to spend with you I can't decide If I love you more in morning Or I love you more at night With its luminous lux tides Maybe in the daylight All its pretty madness And the complicated status 'Cause the moon don't pick sides And the sun won't resign Until you're by my side Because the longing leads to leaving And the loving leads to bleeding And your beauty is a blessing And I never got to tell you how I lovе the way my eyes makе yours look green too'

'Ya'aburnee' by Halsey (verse 1)

Yeaahhh, thanks to the person who told me to draw more of them… I now have around 2 pages of doodles… 🫠

Also, I never expected so many interactions? I’m quite new to tumblr, and so far it’s been REALLY nice. I get SOO excited for each time someone likes or reposts my work. It just gives me the same feelings I had in high school, like when I first started my instagram. It’s just, pure joy. I actually really like posting now!

Thank you, you are wonderful, I love you to bits -Bandit 🌀

All the other heroes: *famous because they killed some great monster*

Achilles: *famous because he threw a rage fit after his boyfriend died*

[poet-by-heart]

My favorite part of the Song of Achilles:

Achilles: How could Heracles not recognize his wife?

Chiron: That is the nature of madness.

Patroclus’ inner monologue: Sounds like a skill issue. Couldn’t be me. Truly pathetic to be honest. Personally, I would recognize Achilles in the dark, or in disguise. I would know him even in madness. But that’s just me I guess.

Achilles & Patroclus (2021)

Of all the art I've made, this is one of my most beloved pieces. I also created a plate version for a double-sided acrylic standee that had one side in the red-figure and the other in black-figure style painting.

Also I've never really spoke about it before, but I always wanted to make a Hector and Andromache piece to pair with this. Never got around to it, but maybe one day I will.
