Odysseus : Patroclus, so you know where Achilles is?

Patroclus : Why does everyone keep asking me that? Do you all think i have him micro-chipped or something?

Odysseus :

Patroclus :

Odysseus : Well, do you?

Patroclus : *bringing out his tracking device* okay hold on..

Greek classics? That's very Obikin. I feel like they would fit in nicely among the ancient Greeks.

absolutely! i am a reincarnated patrochilles obikin truther.

it's super fascinating and easy to see why this is a popular parallel for those that ship obi-wan and anakin because like obikin, patroclus and achilles have the same brother-in-arms mentor/student-esque dynamic. not to mention they have a ton of speculation about the nature of their relationship, which i find quite funny when thinking about an encounter between obi-wan’s ex lover taria (?) when speaking to anakin, which you can find here. keep in mind this is right around this particular exchange. 

patroclus/achilles are a good example of greek pederasty and erastes/ eromenos, and to some, obi-wan and anakin’s dynamic can fit into that relationship as well. this sort of shapes my perception of them VERY much. 

i also made a post here that draws some parallels from a popular retelling of patrochilles by madeline miller that i enjoyed, but you may find similar quotes throughout the illiad that i think wonderfully parallel quotes about obikin in karen miller and stover’s novels. i'd like to list a few for you!

 "Patroclus has fallen - he whom I valued more than all others, and love as dearly as my own life? I have lost him." and here’s another translation of the same quote:  “My dear comrade’s dead - Patroclus - the man I loved beyond all other comrades, loved as my own life - I’ve lost him.”

i love the above quote compared to this:

“Son of Menoetius, my heart’s companion.“

there are a few quotes that i like to pair with this, but i think i prefer this one: “Anakin.” Obi-Wan’s voice had gone soft, and his hand was warm on Anakin’s arm. “There is no other Jedi I would rather have at my side right now. No other man.”

and finally: 

“A last request - grant it, please. Never bury my bones apart from yours, Achilles, let them lie together…So now let a single urn, the gold two-handed urn your noble mother gave you, hold our bones - together.” (cough: obi-wan burying he and anakin’s sabers - their figurative LIVES, mind you - together in kenobi)

and of course, this quote to pair: Contemplation of death brought only one slight sting of regret, and more than a bit of puzzlement. Until this very moment, he had never realized he’d always expected, for no discernible reason— That when he died, Anakin would be with him.”

there are a few other posts by awesome people in the fandom about this that cover other quotes and angles, but i hope this was a fun read! thanks <3

gallavich is for the rosekiller girls, but rosekiller is for the patrochilles girls and everybody knows that patrochillies is for the merthur girls so that basically means that gallavich is a merthur variant is this essay is wi-

Hello, can I ask from this ask game :

https://www.tumblr.com/threecheersforinking/677824836625694720/anime-ask-game?source=share

For fandom : Merlin BBC, The Song of Achilles and Good Omens.

Thanks 🌻

Sure thing! I’ll try not to ramble because you picked 2 of my favourite shows and my favourite book

Link to the post

For BBC Merlin:

Favorite Character: Lancelot, immediately followed by Morgana before season 4

Favorite Arc/Episode/Scene: Most of season 4 episodes 1 and 2, just ignoring the ending. I’m imagining they sacrificed a chickens life of something and Lancelot lives.

Character I Think is Underrated: Balinor

Character I Think is Overrated: Morgause

Favorite Ship/Pairing: just one? Merthur but it’s a very close tie between Mercelot and platonic Morgwen too.

Something I Love About the Show/Movie: the happy ending where no one dies and there’s peace in Albion, magic is returned and everyone gets therapy. (Let me be delusional in peace, it’s fine)

For The Song of Achilles:

Favorite Character: Patroclus.

Favorite Arc/Episode/Scene: Page 129

Character I Think is Underrated: Thetis (just a really interesting character)

Character I Think is Overrated: Chiron (I’ve read PJO)

I don’t really spend enough time in the fandom to know who’s considered overrated or underrated but anyway

Favorite Ship/Pairing: do I need to say it? Patrochillies

Something I Love About the book: how it never gets boring. I’m pretty sure I could quote at least half word for word at this point but it’s still my all time favourite book. I just never get bored of it, and for that I think Madeline Miller is an amazing writer.

For Good Omens:

Favorite Character: Crowley.

Favorite Arc/Episode/Scene: Aziraphel and Crowley dancing in the bookshop and plotting to get Maggie and Nina together.

Character I Think is Underrated: Maggie

Character I Think is Overrated: I think they’re all pretty fairly rated, I don’t exactly hate anyone who isn’t written to be hated. (The Metatron)

Favorite Ship/Pairing: the ineffable husbands

Something I Love About the Show/Movie: queer rep, fun plot, attention to detail in staging and storytelling, the pacing really works, it’s got amazing characters, David Tennant and Michael Sheen, I could go on.

Just one thing though?

The ducks.

Class doodles of stuff😍😍😍

LEGENDARY WAS PLAYING IN MY HEAD ON THAT DAY IT WOULDN’T GET OUT

PLS IT WAS SO HARD NOT HUMMING THE TUNE

[1-800-suck-my-clit]

Most (damn near all) are ganna be MlM

Clegan (bucky x buck)

John is so love sick for gale you just have to ship them

Hannigraham (Hannibal x Will Graham)

They act like a married couple with Gothic scenes and inuendos

Bat jokes (Batman x Joker)

Idk man something abt villian and hero falling in love despite being the farthest of opposites. And I love their banter where Joker shamelessly flirts with him

Superbat (Batman x Superman / Bruce Wayne x Clark Kent)

Now ik what ur thinking "bat jokes AND superbat how scandalous😱" this one only really applies to their "citizen" forms. I love the rich sugar daddy and kind southern accent trope. Also them in their hero forms are also cute bc batman let's his guard down for him

Zosan (zoro x sanji)

Your honor they're married🙄

Hisoillu

They give off Doberman and black cat energy. And canonically they are married ‼️

Rathelstan (ragnar x athelstan)

The love I have for them hold no words so here are some quotes that made me wanna rip my heart out.

"What do you mean?! You cannot leave...you cannot leave me! I love you...and you're the only I can trust so you must stay"

"I always believed that death is a fate far better than life, for you will be reunited with lost loved ones. But we will never meet again, my friend. I have a feeling that your God might object to me visiting you in Heaven. What am I to do now?"

"I hate you for leaving me. I ache from your loss. There is nothing that can console me now. I am changed, so are you.”

Symbrock (Venom x Eddie)

HEAR ME OUT PLEASE...So um anyways

Spideypool (spiderman x deadpool)

Their banter in the comics is so cute

Soapghost(konig) (Soap x Ghost (x Konig) / Simon Riley x John McTavish (x Konig))

Got really into them when CoD started blowing up on my FYP last year

Patrochillies (Patrocles x Achilles)

Ganna cry I love them sm. "He is half of my soul as the poets say" 🤣🔪🩸

Eremika (Eren x Mikasa)

If u don't belive they are end game ur wrong abt everything🥱. Tho I belive in eremika being cannon I also ship EreJean (Eren x Jean) who's to say a Lil hate sex never hurt anyone 🤭

Jayvik (jayce x viktor)

BoKuro (Bokuto x Kuroo)

Himbos in love? Count me in. tho I do also ship them with their main ships aswell

NaruSasu (Naruto x Sasuke)

No one chases a man around for damn near a decade bc "We're best friends🥺" 😒

Last but not least

KiriBaku (kirishima x Bakugou)
