about the parallels between derby and bif / achilles and patroclus.
first of all, i need to warn you- if you have read the song of achilles, delete it from your brain. forget about it forever you can rest now it was all a bad dream. know that both their personalities and their dynamics were simplified and stripped of all their cultural significance, reducing them to a hormonal-thirteen-years-olds-wattpad-fanfiction-from-2012 kind of story that fucking irks me as a classic lits student. with all due respect to thirteen year olds writing fanfic on wattpad in 2012.
so, the thing about them. achilles is the strongest warrior of the greeks, just him deciding not to partake in the war is a decisive hit for the army; just one nod of his is enough to decide the entire fate of his companions. but also, he's driven by blind pride, personal gain, an archaic and profound sense of honor. except that, you know- this is much more natural of a mindset than it might seem, because it's a very part of the societal and cultural structure these warriors live in. it is a value that's passed on within generation and that any sane citizen would've had, it was the mentality of the ruling class and the contrary would've been an anomaly. (if ur interested in this aspect: see archilocus' shield)
i think it's already easy to notice how this parallels some of the very core aspects of the preps' context and derby in particular. every action, their very existence is a matter of honor and reputation; for derby in particular, the leader, the one who always calls the shots, and when he wants something there's no one stopping him, not even his own clique. he will have what he wants, and if just one small offense is done to him, it's everyone's fault, and nothing will get better unless the cut is mended.
and then there's patroclus. older, wiser. he's not as powerful as achilles, but he's a level-minded, resistant and skilled warrior, favored by the gods. that's mostly what i hate about what madeline miller did to him, trying to make him into a relatable, pacifist softboy- he's one of the greatest warriors of the army, respected and recognized by all. he's perfectly capable of standing up on his own and fighting without achilles, basically massacring an entire army; if apollo didn't intervene, he would have won against hector change my mind
the thing about them, though, is that... they're still stronger together. a warrior's arms were a sacred thing, so when patroclus wears achille's armor is much more than a simple impersonation. they re exchanging power, almost blending into each other, and patroclus fights with his own and achilles' power. do you see the parallel there?
derby is of course a great leader, and bif is a powerful fighter on his own; but when you put them together they become unbeatable, a force of nature that is born from the union of them.
and also!! one of my favorite scenes from the iliad is one where we see achilles, in his tent, playing the lyre, while patroclus sits in front of him. for one: sitting in front of each other was a gesture of great intimacy, almost symbolic. two: this is almost a contradiction with what we said about achilles before. he is a demigod, but here and now, playing sad music, sitting in front of patroclus, he becomes human.
and that's the thing about derby and bif, that in their life they're expected to uphold aristocratic values, to never show any trace of imperfections or flaws. that their pride and reputation, as they have been told their whole lives, is essential, and they have nothing without it. and yet, when they are together, they just let that superhuman mask fall, and they can just be fragile, emotional, they can have a heart beating and flesh and blood and they can love. when they're together they are human again

Hi! What do you think about Bif/Derby?
why hello anon!! this is an easy question, of course i ship them!! i mean, has anyone not seen their chemistry??
what made you ship it?
you know, i actually don't know if there was something in particular?? a bit of that probably also came from the fandom and for my brother's great enthusiasm about these two, but i mean. there's something so sweet about that fraction of second, in the closing cutscene to preppies vandalized, when derby turns to bif and you can see his eyes... relaxing. almost like they shine again. even if one doesn't ship them, there's something that can't be ignored about them. (also dan canonically spreads rumors about the two of them. lmao)
2. what are your favorite things about the ship?
it's just. due to all of their circumstances, both of them can do nothing but perfection; derby due to being the leader and, well. a literal harrington. bif due to being derby's champion, the one with the duty to uphold the preps' honor against any foe who dares to challenge him. as if they have to put aside the fact that they're kids- they're human, after all. but with each other they are reminded of these, they can allow themselves to be vulnerable and fallible, because they will always have each other's back. also something about the way they both give this strenght to each other, they can cover all of each other's blind spots and take care of each other's wounds. because neither of them is really good at forgiving himself, but they sure as hell can accept forgiveness for each other. sob i'm emotional okay
3. is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?
let's dismantle this softie x meanie myth!! they are mean x meaner. also one reason why derby actually lets bif be this close is because, although he does respect him, he still doesn't let derby step all over him, doesn't lick his boots 24/7 like most of his other cliquemates do. derby is unhinged and not only will bif let him but he will eat popcorn as someone's life is ruined. also bif is the only one who actually dares to say no to derby. and he gets so mad it's almost soothing.
