Achilles: Go big or go home!
Patroclus, with tears in his eyes: I'm begging you, Achilles, for once in your life, please, just this once, go home
Achilles: I'm going big

sad song of achilles quotes but with the monkies comic time
bonus closeups:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[ID: A comic showing Macaque and Wukong from Monkie Kid. They sit in front of a bright red and yellow sunset wearing their past outfits, Wukong with a blue scarf. The comic takes a quote from The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller, reading “name one hero who was happy” below them. The next panel shows Macaque thinking, and then Wukong saying “you can’t.” His face is partially obscured, and Macaque looks towards him. The next panel shows Wukong looking sad, saying “they never let you be famous and happy,” then looking up with a soft expression. He holds Macaque’s hand, then says “let me tell you a secret.” The next drawing zooms out, shows them very small sitting next to each other. Macaque says “tell me.” The next page is a drawing of Wukong with a dark purple background. There is one stream of light over him, and he sits over Macaque who is laying down and bleeding. It’s set after they fought and Wukong killed Macaque. The writing in the top corner shows Wukong’s words from the previous scene: “I’m going to be the first.” /End ID.]

it's so fitting that Achilles' lyre was really Patroclus'. Patroclus was his connection to the softer things like music and love and joy. Without him, Achilles was a war machine. With him, Achilles was a musician, a lover, and a boy.
The music never belonged to Achilles because the lyre never belonged to Achilles. Both were bestowed upon him by his better half.

See if I was Achilles I would have simply chosen to grow old and eat bread with my gay lover instead of going off to war where it was foretold i would die. But that’s just me

Achilles: I always apologize when I'm wrong.
Agamemnon: I don't think I've ever seen you apologize before.
Achilles: I'm never wrong.

can we acknowledge that achilles was sent to pelion to train just to live a happy domestic life with patroclus and chiron while learning home economics before being summoned to war? like he learned a lot but i personally got the impression that he was there to learn to like kill people more effectively(??) and just ended up learning basic medicine and foraging skills

Greek Mythology PSA
As much as I love Achilles and Patroclus from TSOA: Achilles is NOT someone to idolize.
The story of Troilus was an extreme reason: when he turned 20, he would supposedly touch the wall of Troy and it would save this. Athena told Achilles this and he went to ambushed Troilus by the well, in fact pulling him by the hair off his horse.
But Troilus was extremely beautiful- so much so that he was said to be the child of Apollo. Achilles was overcome with lust and tried to make advances.
Troilus escaped his grasp and ran to his fathers temple for shelter. There Achilles caught him again, had his way, and beheaded him.
ACHILLES WAS A GROWN MAN AND TROILUS WAS SAID TO BE A CHILD, MOST SPECULATED TO BE AROUND 12.
Was he a great warrior? Yeah. Was he a murder, r**ist, and p3do? Also yes.
Why are there so little stories about Apollo and Hyacinthus?

no thoughts head empty only two young boys leaping on rocks by the ocean, hair blown by the north winds, running through fields of hyacinths, climbing twisted trees, splashing each other in the river, discovering the wonders of being in love in the far away lands of ancient greece
