Can we just talk about how the love of Achilles and Patroclus was so deep we still talk about the beauty and the tragedy of it, more than 2000 years after their death ?

That's amazing, gods I feel so overwhelmed by the fact that their story was real, that their love was that intense.

[@frankiebun6892]

POV: You’re dancing on the rooftop in your favorite dress. Tears are streaming down your face as you slowly loose your bearings. You can faintly hear your lover singing to you, begging you not to jump. Your vision is blurry and you didn’t see the edge of the roof. Your foot slips off and the rest of your body follows. Your vision goes dark and the last thing you remember is your head being cradled by your lover, their face distorted with grief. I’m new to these POV things so I hope this sounds alright lol

Because of how Achilles died with such negative emotions- This reminds me of how he is looking everywhere for patroclus in the underworld but can't find him since he is still blinded by rage.

This song makes me think of achilles looking desperately for patroclus in the underworld just to remember in his rage and grief, he had forgotten to mark patroclus' name on the tomb. There, he spends weeks, months alone. Finding out from other spirits that the greeks had left troy and patroclus' wandering spirit behind. Achilles believed for eternity he would never be reunited with patroclus because of his blindness and emotions. Then thetis pulls a uno reverse tho but this is angst so ignore that-

[@lallou21]

He spends so many years and years wandering around desperatly, trying to catch the attention of the people who brings him and his love in the war during ten years, and nobody did anything or even fully tried to help him be in peace (I know Ulysse tried but... he could have done more in my opinions) and wasn't able to join Achilles it breaks my heart :c

Lyrics: Achilles, Achillies, Achilles, Come down, Won't you get up off, Get up off the roof? You're scaring us and All of us, some of us love you, Achilles It's not much but there's proof You crazy assed cosmonaut, Remember your virtue, Redemption lies plainly In truth Just humour us, Achilles, Achilles, come get down, Won't you get up off, get up off, The roof? Achilles, Achillies, Achilles, Come down, Won't you get up off, Get up off the roof? Remember the path of our youth Where you go, i'm going, So jump and i'm jumping Since there's no me without you Soldier on, Achilles, Achilles come down, won't You get up off, get up off The roof? Loathe the way they light Candles in rome, but love the Sweet air of the votives Hurt and grieve but don't Suffer alone, engage with the pain as a motive Today of all days, see How the most dangerous Thing is to love How you will heal And you'll rise above Achilles, Achillies, Achilles, Jump now, and you are absent of cause or excuse So self-indulgent, and Self-referencial, no audience Could ever want you You crave the applause, yet Hate the atenttion, then miss it, Your act is a rouse It's empty Achilles, so end it up now, it's a pointless resistance for you Achilles, Achilles, just Put down the bottle, don't Listen to what you've consumed It's chaos, confusion and Wholly unworthy of Feeding and it's wholly Untrue You may feel no purpose Nor a point for existance, it's All conjecture and gloom And there may not be a meaning so find one and seize it Hear those bell rings, Deep in the soul, chiming Away for a moment Feel your breathe course Frankly below, see life as a Worthy opponent Today of all days, see How the most dangerous Thing is to love How you'll heal And you'll rise above Crowded by an overture Bold and Beyond Ah, it's more courageous To overcome More poignant than frame, Or the taste of another Be real and just jump, you dense motherfucker (YOU'RE WORTH MORE, ACHILLES) You will not be more than a rat in the gutter (SO MUCH MORE, THAN A RAT) You want my opinion, My opinion you've got (NO ONE ASKED FOR YOUR OPINION) You asked for my counsel, I gave you my thoughts (NO ONE ASKED FOR YOUR THOUGHTS) Be done with this now, And jump off the roof BE DONE WITH THIS NOW AND GET OFF THE ROOF Can you hear me, Achilles? I'm talking to you CAN YOU HEAR ME ACHILLES? I'M TALKING TO YOU I'M TALKING TO YOU I'M TALKING TO YOU ACHILLES COME DOWN ACHILLES COME DOWN THROW YOURSELF INTO THE UNKNOWN, WITH THE PACE AND FURY DEFIANT CLOTHE YOURSELF WITH BEAUTY UNTOLD, AND SEE LIFE AS A MEANS TO TRIUMPH TODAY OF ALL DAYS, SEE HOW THE MOST DANGEROUS THING IS TO LOVE HOW YOU WILL HEAL AND YOU'LL RISE ABOVE CROWNED BY AN OVERTURE, BOLD AND BEYOND AH, IT'S MORE COURAGEOUS TO OVERCOME

Not me in a depressive episode immersing myself into the role of my OC, a son of Thetis who changed his name from the Greek his mother gave him to the much less trauma-related name Onyx. Here's some more about it, including the PJO side: Part of my AU (and one of my OC's little traumatic experiences that threatened his willingness to remain immortal) is that, after Achilles and Patroclus had spent about 4000 years in the underworld, they decided to be reborn. Patroclus opted to be reborn first, to keep it so that Patroclus remained older. Many years later, Achilles is finally reborn, finally able to reunite with his only lover. Patroclus was reborn in 1945 to Hades and a woman named Maria, and Achilles to Apollo and a woman whose name i do not know. Their names became Nico di Angelo and Will Solace. After 4 millennia, they were reunited in the living world. The OC lore bit is due to my character being a son of Thetis. His name was originally Greek, and he changed it to the name Onyx after his brother's death. He was an immortal, like his mother. After the war between the camps, Onyx attempts to find his brother and brother-in-law in the underworld, but to no avail. He was devastated, and spent an entire year searching. He eventually found Nico and Will, but, to Onyx's dismay, he wasn't recognized. He even found Chiron in an attempt to prove it, finally able to show them who he was. Onyx almost stated his old Greek name just for his little brother to recognize him. Onyx Thetidis had never changed since he was 17. He even planned to bring Thetis before them, just to jog their memories. He was in pain, the pain of losing his loved ones twice. So yeah, sad lore time. Onyx is very trauma sometimes

"Does anyone know how to find happiness?" questioned the young girl. "I'm afraid not my child," replied the old woman. "But- but there has to be a way!" "That's a silly old story, there is no land, no place, no food, no person, and no where you can go to find the same gentleness you felt as a child when your mother placed blissful kisses on your head. Its all gone, now run along. Your destiny's already been chosen for you." "But I want to make my own destiny, and I will. I no longer search for physical happiness I can hold in my hands. I search for it within me. And when I find it, whether I will be alone or not, I will find it within me and within others. I will make sure that my every breath goes towards my own, and others' happiness." "You'll live to be an old lady, completely alone. And you'll die alone," said the old lady in a pitiful way. "There's a difference between being alone and lonely, you old hag." "Oh well, don't blame me, you should've listened to me before. Don't defy destiny." "Oh I will defy it! There are multiple roads to find peace and happiness, but there are right and wrong roads. That is called fate. Not all of them lead to destiny. Some lead to death, others to starvation. And if I take the wrong road, then I will be hurt and I will most likely grieve, but I won't suffer alone. I will heal and rise above. Redemption lies plainly in truth, you hag. Its a pity you'll die hated by all, I was starting to like you. I may forget you, but don't you dare forget me." ...ta-da~ Hope ya like it. Sorry for any grammar mistakes.
