Thetis visits Achilles:
Thetis: So Patroclus, you live here?
Patroclus: Yes, we live together.
Thetis: So you are a couple?
Achilles: Mom, I told you many times that we just live together!
(3 days later)
Patroclus: Achilles, I don't wanna say that your mother did it, but ever since she visited I can't find those gold plates.
Achilles: That's strange, I'll ask her.
(On the phone)
Achilles: Look mom, I don't wanna say you did it but ever since you visited we can't find the gold plates. Do you know something?
Thetis: Look son, I don't wanna say that you and Patroclus are fucking, but I will say it because if he actually slept on his own bed he would find the plates under his pillow!
Achilles:.....
Achilles: Fuck!

I’M IN TEARS I LOVE ACHILLES SO MUCH 😭
i could write an essay on how much this scene means to me but unfortunately i do not have the braincells for it rn. he may have had a lot of flaws, but one thing achilles was, was proud and open about his relationship with patroclus.
“they are fools if they let my glory rise or fall on this[…] i have given enough to them. i will not give them this.”

"He's half my soul as the poets say." - Achilles about Patroclus
I never want to experience the love, the loss they've suffered. Achilles and Patroclus, Aristos Achaion and his most beloved, the better half of his soul.
What good is life when you lose the one you dedicated it to? Shakespeare was wrong. It's sometimes better to never fall in love, too fast, too deep. I would rather look at all these dull blues of regret than the lovely vibrant colours of emotions just for them to turn you into a monster in the end.
Oh, for what I'll give for them to experience it again but without this horrible end they had to endure. Absence of one's heart will destroy the sense of rightness and humane. Achilles was not just a hero, he was a lover, a poet. A side only Patroclus knew that he had.
The time he left to kill victor was not something a good person would do, revenge does not justifies anything, it's only done to calm one's self.
He was out of his mind. Achilles was long dead before his half mortal body even experienced it. All that was left was a shell of an empty man. A shallow figure for the fables to make their subject. Nothing more, nothing less.
Achilles, the prince/king, stopped existing because his arrogance and ego took Patroclus away from him. He couldn't live with himself.
After that, he was just a warrior with no heart, no regrets, no spirit, and no memories. Because all his memories were shared with Patroclus. Stored in him. Created because of him. And lastly...gone with him.
"I am made of memories" - Patroclus
They will know each other in both life and death. They always had.

I am once again spiraling about the song of achilles (I mean, I guess I'm never NOT spiraling about it.)
here are the lines stuck in my head today~
“Patroclus, he says, Patroclus. Patroclus. Over and over until it is sound only.”
"‘It is time to return Hector's body to his family for burial. You have killed him and taken your vengeance. It is enough.’ ‘It will never be enough,’ he says.”
“Achilles' gaze lifts to meet hers. She is afraid, but does not draw back. ‘I hope that Hector kills you.’ The breath rasps in his throat. ‘Do you think I do not hope the same?’ he asks.”
“His ashes settle among mine, and I feel nothing.”

Achilles: So what’s your type?
Patroclus: Blue eyes, prideful, strong, oblivious, blonde hair.
Achilles: Kinda sounds like me. Too bad we’re just friends.
Patroclus: ..did I mention oblivious?

‘[…]As if he had heard me, he reached for my hand. I did not need to look; his fingers were etched into my memory, slender and petal-veined, strong and quick and never wrong. "Patroclus," he said. He was always better with words than I.’
Forever obsessed with how smitten Patroclus is with Achilles here— all Achilles said was his name and my boy was swooning. Basically:
Achilles: h—
Patroclus: I love you
