Achilles : Patroclus...
Patroclus: Oh no, 'Patroclus' in b-flat.
Patroclus: You're disappointed.
finished tsoa, never talk to me again
"Patroclus, he says, Patroclus. Patroclus. Over and over until it is sound only."
-TSOA, Madeline Miller
I just finished the song of Achilles- I-
The way this book breaks your heart
I think Madeline Miller is secretly a goddess
What I think Iliad's caracherts favourite curse word is
Achilles: he doesn't actually curse, he uses mostly words like "freak" "shoot" etc
Patroclus: f*ck (and everything that has f*ck inside like f*cking sh*t etc)
Agamemnon: c*nt (really ugly as he is)
Odysseus: doesn't usually curse, but when he's mad he uses sh*t
Diomedes: any curse word will do
Ajax: anything not too offensive, like he would definitely use b*tch but not wh*re
Thesis: motherf*cker or bast*rd
Reblogging my art with folk songs I feel are fitting part 2
after “The Song of Achilles” by Madeline Miller (warning: violence)
Heliotropic soul who smells of spring.
Sunshine hair with gold-leafed summer irises,
Bright, shining from alabaster flesh.
Chiseled hands over carved wood,
Sinew-plucked strings.
They would never draw blood.
Winter is a minimalist,
Warmed by our roseate love,
Thawed anew.
"these flowers suit your hair so well"
achilles to distract myself from life's miseries
I just finished reading tsoa again-
