“Grown-up relationships are a complete mystery to me. I mean, I don’t know at what point you go from being in love and bonking to not really talking about anything and being mildly annoyed with each other all the time.”

Again with the bad writing this character is 19 surely he can act and speak like it

“But my great-grandmother genuinely used to call black people the word you’re never ever supposed to say if you’re white.”

This sentence is poorly written like the “never ever” makes him sound like a 6 year old whose learning about slurs and racism for the first time like if you are mature enough to be writing gay BDSM your mature enough to use appropriate language when talking about slurs and racism

So yea he’s FULLY licking his toes

Good god so Laurie and Robert were together since 19 to what like 36 that’s 17 years!!! No wonder he’s so like heartbroken it makes sense now

I love this little agreement it’s gonna be so funnnn

he whispered them. “I’m going to make you so happy.” I kissed the tip of his nose, which was red and a little bit damp. “No promises, Junior.”


Another Valentine’s Day of me reading a book about two peoples love story how exciting

Okay yea talking about acne with the guy you just got on your knees infront of is weird and awkward for soooo many reasons

“I’d bled and screamed but never knelt.
And in the silence, my boy just gasped.”

Awwwww “my boy” that’s adorable

“When I’d thought he’d be stunning in a few years, I was wrong. He was stunning now.”

Ughhhh love that for them

19 and 39!!!! How big of a gap that is and at 39 he’s the sub to a 19 year old

Looking at the cover that like has real people on it is like hilarious and I’m a little scared for what I’m about to read you know we just barely dipped our toes in with the song of Achilles and now we’re gonna dive into the pool you know maybe we’ll learn something along the way

I am at a loss of word what a beautiful gut wrenching story that was

“You chose her,” he says. “Over me.”
“Over your pride.”

Oh god this is not a fun little turn of events but yea no 100% on Patroclus’s side like he is saving a woman from being raped as he should and I am like so mad at Achilles but like Patroclus needs to die so Achilles can be heartbroken and understand what he’s done

“and returned to greet my Achilles.”

“could not bear it. There was only one thing I could think of. I turned to Achilles and seized the front of his tunic. I kissed him. When I let go again, she was staring at us. Staring and staring. I gestured to her bonds and back to the knife. “All right?” She hesitated a moment. Then slowly offered her hands.”

Something about this is so beautiful

So im very much assuming Patroclus dies and I’m really hoping like the people there fighting like capture him and hold him captive and kill him and for revenge Achilles like kills everyone and ends the war and live in forever and I mean obviously we know Patroclus is dying because he’s so worried about Achilles dying so obviously the plot twist is that Patroclus dies and I’m hoping the death is well written

Ohhh so yea no nevermind disregard he very much will not be sleeping with her seeings how umm she’s dead I guess she was the sacrifice who would have thought

I cannot wait until Patroclus dies cause like this will be the SECOND woman Achilles sleeps with and I get it it’s his duty he’s a prince but come onnnnnnnn

“And what of this?” His hand lingered over my hips, drew down the line
of my thigh. “Have I spoken of it?”
“You have.”
“And this? Surely, I would not have forgotten this.” His cat’s smile. “Tell
me I did not.”
“You did not.”
“There is this, too.” His hand was ceaseless now. “I know I have told you
of this.”
I closed my eyes. “Tell me again,” I said

Achilles was looking at me. “Your hair never quite lies flat here.” He
touched my head, just behind my ear. “I don’t think I’ve ever told you how
I like it.”
My scalp prickled where his fingers had been. “You haven’t,” I said.
“I should have.” His hand drifted down to the vee at the base of my
throat, drew softly across the pulse. “What about this?

“Well, why should I kill him? He’s done nothing to me”

This is what I like to call foreshadowing I think hector is going to kill Patroclus

I was wondering how the book was going to like move along and I was really wondering when Patroclus and Achilles were going to go to war

I’m so confused like I get it you know he’s like what 17 so like he’s never felt a woman’s touch and like I guess him and Achilles aren’t official but come one dude like what’s the point and he has to tell Achilles but it’s not going to cause any problems cause like why would it

Oh so he has no self respect and he is very much going to forgive him

I swear she better be lying about being pregnant cause this will infact ruin everything but also I’m hoping Patroclus will have the self respect to walk away and not go back to Achilles

“I would know it in dark or disguise, I told myself. I would know it even in madness”

Yeaaa no it went the wrong way

Ahhhhh there kissing this can go one of two ways and I’m very much hoping it’s like like a reciprocated kiss

I really love this but I don’t know how old they are last it was said he was 9 so I’m hoping it’s an age like 16 now but I do love their friendship thus far

Does he only have one friend I expected two at the very least
