Patroclus *nudges Achilles awake at 4am*: do you like me?
Achilles:Imarriedyou.
Patroclus: Yes but did you marry me as a friend, or like, a husband? Unclear.
Patroclus: Okay, you’re saying Achilles married you?
Deidameia: Oh yeah, we’re hitched all right. Till death do us part.
Achilles: [tying a rope] Mhm, I’m working on it…
Patroclus: ACHILLES NO
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?

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)
Patroclus: Why did give a knife to a child????
Achilles: Phyrrus felt unsafe.
Patroclus: Well now I feel unsafe!
Achilles: I’m sorry
Achilles: …would you like a knife
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.
Achilles: Patroclus! Look, I found out what is wrong with me
Achilles: *Pointing to his head*
Achilles: On right side there is nothing right and on the left side there is nothing left
Patroclus:
Patroclus:
Achilles:
Patroclus: Achilles, seriously, wtf
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.
Does anyone want to talk about the song of achilles with me? I am absolutely brain rotting after reading the book in one single sitting but none of my friends have finished it, I have so many thoughts and random vents about it, most of which i am too scared to post in case i read something wrong XD but is anyone interested in having a discussion on the song of achilles?
