ive been reading song of achilles and it makes me feel super emo inside

p h i l t a t o s ‘That is–your friend?’ 'Philtatos,’ Achilles says, sharply. Most b e l o v e d. 'best of men, and slaughtered by your son.’ ― Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles

Patroclus, Achilles, reunions, and carefree high-schoolers. 

A feeling would come. it was almost like fear, in the way it filled me.

“In the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless, heavy dusk. Their hands meet, and light spills in a flood like a hundred golden urns pouring out of the sun.”

A tonal/monochromatic piece for The Song of Achilles, as well as practicing with lighting for me! XD THE BABES LOOK FAR TOO HAPPY. <3 <3 

Finished TSOA so I’m reading The Iliad…Homer-otic subtext?

“He leaned towards me, framed by bronze, smelling of sweat and leather and metal. I closed my eyes, felt his lips on mine, the only part of him still soft. Then he was gone.”

I’m dying… These two are ruining me, and I swear they’re the cutest babies ever <3 <3 <3 The way Patroclus describes Achilles breaks me.

An absolutely adorable commission for @misplacedstraightjacket! Oh my god this was fun! AND ABSOLUTELY CUTE, so sweet that I nearly got cavities.

some modern patrochilles

i hate the iliad and most of all i hate the song of achilles :(

I’ve only just recently realized that I haven’t drawn Song of Achilles art in AGES!!! So here’s some cute, cuddling babies <3 And a skinny little Skops/Patroclus on the left! I swear these two kill me with how cute they are~

Edit: They’re tonal because I’m lazy and I’m going to sleep now. So yeah. xD

Some expression and cloth practice led me to doodling Achilles while he is on Scyros, as well as his marriage announcement to Patroclus xD Oh man he looks so great, I’m happy. <3 <3

imagine a modern au where achilles is such a drama queen and he’s always making these grand bold declarations of love and devotion which after a while just leaves patroclus rolling his eyes like

“i dont need you to die or kill for me i just need you to do the dishes”

Inktober Day 14: Patroclus and Achilles - Figs

I needed more of these two! Particularly them both just being adorable and eating their favourite snack together~ (Of course Achilles would have a huge armful of figs… no surprise there xD)
