i am devasted. i am heartbroken. i am crushed.
i. will. never. be. the. same.

read the last few pages, specifically thetis and patroclus’s soul conversation, as if it were flashbacks of my dead wife except it was achilles

i couldnt be more happy and healed that these two met again in the underworld 💘

f*ck pyrrhus that’s a spawn of the devil fr

oh achilles💔💔💔💔 i am so sorry
he held patroclus’s dead body all night i can’t
(lowk this your fault)

the way i vividly imagined this scene in my head and I couldn’t stop crying I STILL CANT STOP CRYING

PATROCLUS DONT TAKE UNNECESSARY JOURNEYS WHYYYYYY OH WHYYYYYYY
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

also i hate agamemnon btw when does he ***

achilles when i catch you…
nothing i hate more than a man’s pride
STAND UPPPPP

im on patroclus’s side

7 or 8 years have passed wtf
i feared achilles and patroclus were about to become distant but they still treated each other the same thankfully

patroclus becoming the official medic iktr so proud of him

briseis wanting a child with patroclus and achilles getting jealous at the thought of it

i dont have a good feeling about the prophecy…
only 100 pages left im so close to doom and despair 🥲

craving for those little sweet moments between achilles and patroclus when one or both go out to war

only halfway through and this is the best book I’ve ever read
so beautifully written and tragic
THE SADNESS IS BEGINNING I DONT KNOW IF I CAN DO THIS
