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 ***

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

just arrived in troy #terrified #takemebacktomountpelion

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
