"My godness, what a sommersault! You are quite the gymnast!"
i didn't know that Patroclus is so funny
also RIP, sweet summer boy

but also how ready I am to see Achilles have an answer to "What has Hector ever done to me?"

(Don't be mistaken. Hector might be one of my favourite characters. I love him. But I am still excited to actually see Achilles rage and not just a pouty child.)

Listen, I like some of the men more than I should because they are all assholes (also the slaughtering scenes really do fuck with my head bc its just "Person A kills Person B, C and D. And Person E kills Person F and G" and so on. Which fair enough but I do care more about the interpersonal moments and the Gods being annoyed with Zeus)

"Pathetic Paris! Womanizer! Cheat! You are the very best at looking pretty."

istg paris is just hated by everyone (rightfully so) but also these grown ass men acting like children is hilarious to me somehow.

Anyways Helen, my dearest darling, I am so sorry for everything you are going through
