#the song achilles
Patroclus: *completely serious* I have to get something off my chest…
Achilles:is it your shirt?? I hope its your shirt please
Achilles: You’re a piece of shit!
Agamemnon: No, you’re a piece of shit!
Odysseus(being the smart ass he is): As far as I’m concerned, you’re BOTH pieces of shit. Yeah, I can prove it mathematically. Actually, let me grab my whiteboard. This has been a long time coming anyway.
Achilles: Alright, listen up you little shits.
Achilles: Not you, Patroclus. You’re an angel and we’re thrilled to have you here.
Odysseus: Before I do anything, I ask myself: would Achilles or Agamemnon do that? And if the answer is yes, I do not do that thing and run very quickly in the opposite direction.
Patroclus:
Patroclus:
Patroclus: I don’t know if I should be angry you disrespected my boyfriend but you *do* make a damn good point.
Odysseus: Patroclus, where is Achilles?
Patroclus: By the GODS, why does everybody think that I always know where Achilles is? Maybe I don’t know. Maybe I don’t care. Maybe I have a life outside of being his companion. Or maybe he’s a full-grown man who can go where he pleases. Have you ever considered that?
Odysseus:
Patroclus:
Odysseus:
Patroclus: he’s speaking with Nestor in the Pylian part of the camp but that’s not my point
If you’re ever think your s/o doesn’t pay enough attention to you, remember that Patroclus’ bf choose his mf honour over him.
“Patroclus. I have given them enough. I will not give them this.”
- Achilles about Patroclus (page 166)
“Do you think I wish them all to die? But I cannot. I cannot! I will not let him take this from me!”
- Achilles yelling at Patroclus about his honour (page 308)
Achilles: I gave Agamemnon a get well soon card
Odysseus: That’s surprisingly nice of you
Achilles: He’s not sick I just think he should do better
Patroclus: Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind.
Achilles: I once saw you kill a child because he took your dice.
Patroclus: Exactly. That was my battle. So be kind.
Deidameia: i can’t live without you
Achilles: then perish.
Reading TSoA while knowing the plot of the iliad is like watching your friend walking down the road, seeing a truck coming towards them and realizing that they’re wearing air pods.
