I'm now just realizing that the way I pictured this part (Achilles just having Patroclus' corpse in the bed and laying beside it) maybe isn't what was actually happening 💀 Why didn't I think he was like SLEEP sleeping with him...
I love patrochilles but I hate so many of the people that like it because so much of it seems so sex-centric rather than anything else. like okay great Achilles was a bottom sure whatever can we talk about how he sLEPT WITH A CORPSE? he ACTIVELY slept with a corpse.
(kofi request) the scene we had all been anticipating 💙
homer was the original multishipper, eurylochus bagged ctieme and an early grave !
Every time I think of him, I hear the Psycho Killer by Talking Heads play in my head
The bnha phase has come back like an old friend
How have I missed that Achilles’ father tries to tell him a story about a warrior who feels wronged by a king and therefore refuses to fight for him, but Achilles isn’t listening because he’s trying to get Patroclus’ attention, so Peleus says that it’s a story for another time. But then Achilles is send to Mt Pelion, and instead of listening to the moral of the tale, he ends up living it.
