I GET IT NOW OH MY GOD I GET IT NOW I GET THE MESSAGE FROM THIS BOOK

ooooo the angst is angsting 🙂‍↕️

guys idk if im missing something but i dont think i love this book as much as all of you do 💔

um? what just happened

if i was patroclus i probably would have thrown up and ran into the ocean to drown myself

“we were like gods at the dawning of the world, and our joy was so bright we could see nothing else but the other.”

big fan of how color matters a lot in this book; when achilles was around patroclus, he was always glowing like the sun, and now when he is condemned to leave his skin appears grey and marble-like, as if a statue

yall im kicking my feet already bc read this quote: “he looked different in sleep, beautiful but cold as moonlight. i found myself wishing he would wake so that i might watch the life return.”

patroclus watching achilles play the lyre with awe 😭💖 “i could not play now. not ever, if i could listen to him instead.”

starting this long anticipated book with ida!!<3 im expecting this to be life changing
