a second chance at death (and happiness)

Achilles had known that he would choose glory over a long life the moment he won his first duel. Granted, that duel had been against Patroclus, who he had already fallen in love with. The two vowed to bathe in the Lethe together once they reached Elysium, so they could have one or more lives together somewhere else. They shared the same heart, so they should share the same adventures.

And then Patroclus died, killed by Hector while wearing Achilles's armor. Achilles had never known grief like that before, and his only comfort was the visit from his beloved's ghost, after he'd tried to bury all his pain with Hector's. When Apollo's arrow, guided by Paris, found its home in Achilles's tendon, he cried out of course, but he was glad. He could tell by the strength of the poison (and how it sapped his own) that it was going to kill him. For a second, he remembered kind Chiron, and his own son Neoptolemus--and he pushed their memories aside. Achilles would be with his missing half as soon as he closed his eyes...

He found himself in the Fields of Asphodel, where he and the other shades, ghosts with hardly any color, wandered aimlessly between plain trees, only able to groan as opposed to talk. With a heavy heart and rage directed at the gods, Achilles sat and wept. Patroclus had gone to Elysium--why wouldn't he?--but Achilles had been damned. It felt like forever before he and all the other shades' attention was drawn to something with an enticing scent that seemed familiar...ah, blood. The thing that landed him in his own personal Hell. But he never expected to see Odysseus, solid and alive in Hades. As soon as he got the chance, Achilles warned the man against dying, explaining his own suffering. Odysseus had always been a person who commanded respect, and yet Achilles did not truly understand why until the hero convinced Lord Aidoneus himself to resurrect Achilles.

The king of Hades would warn Achilles against being impious in any way, but Achilles already knew. He would not mess up his chances at an afterlife (or another life) with Patroclus. And maybe he'd get to see his son after all--according to Odysseus, Neoptolemus should've grown up and married. Achilles had a brief reunion with his mother (a big hug and lots of kisses on his cheeks), then went to join Odysseus.

"I hope I'm not too late," Achilles said, only walking up to the older man once he and his people were done burying their friend. He held out his hand, thankful for the opportunity. Just breathing fresh air felt like a blessing, though it was far from the kind Achilles desired. "You quite literally saved my life. I am in your debt."

I've thought about this a few times, but in blowing up the moon during the Great Lunar War, you (probably) effectively killed a hefty number of soldiers. Who were (can you confirm?) your fellow soldiers, as well.

Do you ever think about that?

Don't remember. I don't like to think about it. Probably.

@curious-georg @justastrugglinghotchocolate @eternaljunkyard @klqrambles and everyone else who liked the post (@bingosomen I'm looking at you) I'm sorry to say that @hedonistphilosopher did not make it through his neutering procedure. It seems like his sense of self was contained in the parts we removed.

[gunpowderdtim]

@wallace-marte and @eternaljunkyard are watching me froth at the mouth rn

[justastrugglinghotchocolate]

I don’t normally do bedtime posts, cause then people will realize just how fucked my sleep schedule is, but @eternaljunkyard, @poisonhartfrog, @klqrambles, and, of course, the lovely @hyac1nthus. Thank you for this wonderful little mystery—I have never had as much as I did tonight. Hopefully we will solve it tomorrow! Good night, everyone!

[klqrambles]

@eternaljunkyard AHJDND thank you 🥰

I’d say for the doodle prompts they take me on average an hour? Give or take?

Usually stuff that’s more finished than a doodle takes me 2-8 hours tho depending on like complexity :]

Send as many asks as you’d like! They’ll save me from dying of ennui.

[Mod’s note: hello! My art blog is @curriculum-corvidae. @eternaljunkyard invited me to help with this project :)) this completely innocent project where nothing bad could possibly happen! :)))]

[basilhallwardanswers]

Welcome!

My name is Basil Hallward, and I have come to answer questions about myself, my friends, and life. I am an artist and rather a recluse, which gives me plenty of time to answer.

Do not hesitate to send asks; I am for you.

Additionally, if you would like to contact my dear friend, muse, and portrait sitter, Dorian Gray, you may find him @doriangrayanswers.

[Mod's Note: Hey!! What's up!! You can follow my main blog @eternaljunkyard, I do a lot of art 👍 take care!]

[eternaljunkyard]

I’m working on an animatic!! You can find my brand new art acc on Instagram at @eternaljunkyard same as this one! I’m super excited and it’s been a bit of a labor of love,,, it doesn’t tell much of a cohesive story more of a summary of most of the events of TMA, but I’m super proud of it!! I’ll be publishing the link when I put this dang thing out!

[trial-by-strength]

do you know what this is

[drawing by @/eternaljunkyard]

uhh. no. looks kind of like a bug though

[asknastyarasputina]

go away

i'll only answer at gunpoint, jonny is coercing me into this, and the answer is probably violence or kissing women

actually, if you want to bother jonny, go find him @askjonnydville, he probably won't be any more helpful than i am but you won't be asking me

[Mod's Note: Hey!! What's up!! You can follow my main blog @eternaljunkyard, I do a lot of art 👍 take care!

Also, this is a Mechanisms fan-run blog so if you're not good with violence, death, weapons, war, all that stuff, it might just be best to stay away <3 stay safe]
