#curse of achilles

the feeling of reading a Greek mythology book will always be unmatched. marble columns, togas, whispered promises and prayers to deities long forgotten. the aesthetics of it speak to my soul. heroes being born in defiance to those who rule over humanity. the ongoing and overarching theme of being able to love and to die making us human. i am entranced & enthralled by it all.

I just had a dream where thalia and nico both got the curse of achilles with percy (like all three of them jumped in at once), and i have no idea how that would work, but all i can think is that that would be a terrifically badass au.
Also, in the dream, when he found out what had happened zeus just started like full out sobbing on the floor and i woke myself up laughing so that was fun
*snorts* the three of them showing up with the Curse of Achilles and just demolishing armies together and the whole of the Gods just staring in horror would be <3

Camper: Percy, why did you take the curse of Achilles?
Percy: Cause I wanted to jump off of buildings without getting hurt.
Annabeth: Percy, no....
Percy: Nah I'm just kidding. It was actually cause, that one *gestures to Nico* wanted to drown me in the Styx.
Nico: Okay.... I'd like to make it known that that wasn't my only motive....
Annabeth: BUT IT WAS ONE OF THEM???

Me, listening "achilles come down" for the first time: How could anyone like this song? It's not even that good.
Me, listening "achilles come down" for the 2536th time: BUT BE REAL AND JUST JUMP, YOU DENSE MOTHERFU—

i know the ancient greeks wore sandals all the time those were their shoes whatever. but achilles wearing sandals to battle when his heel was his vulnerable point is equivalent to if percy had worn a crop top and no armor to the battle of manhattan. to really cement the parallels i think in the adaptation percy should wear a crop top and no armor to the battle of manhattan. he is fifteen it is august it is his hot girl summer

i read the song of achilles a year ago but i still could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.

I feel like the grief of Patroclus and Achilles is so deeply buried inside me that I can never overcome it.

"Oh, gee," he said sarcastically. "You think?"

Currently chilling in the theory that Kronos always intended for his host to be a child of the Big Three, and that the real reason Luke gave those cursed shoes to Percy wasn’t to kill him, but to send Kronos a convenient flesh bag, explicitly for the use of pre-packaging one (1) evil Titan Overlord for world domination. —That Kronos’ comment to Percy about how he should have been Kronos’ host wasn’t a realization, but a complaint that his minions failed him and he had to settle for the bitter, burnt-out toaster strudel that was Luke.
It would then also track that Kronos’ forces would take Luke to Tartarus to receive the Curse of Achilles and to fully integrate with Kronos’ soul.

sometimes I forget that Percy isn’t just Annabeth’s was-once-turned-into-a-hamster boyfriend, and then I remember that Percy literally single handedly fought a whole league of monsters plus a minotaur on the Williamsburg Bridge in the Battle of Manhattan, and I am humbled.

What if hera didn't mean to leave Annabeth in his head? What if the reason he remembers her isn't because of the gods, its because she is his tether. Percy would have lost his mortality if not for her, he would have died. What if the curse doesn't let memories of her be taken away?

This video was inspired by the song (Achilles come down by Gang Of Youths) and one of the most heart-breaking and beautiful novels I've ever read 'Song of Achilles' by Madeline Miller. I honestly recommend reading it if you haven't already. The descriptions of characters, feelings, surroundings is mesmerizing, also not to mention the love and connection you feel between Achilles and Patroclus. The text you see in the video are actually quotes from this very book.
I choose Wilhelm and Simon from Young Royals because as soon as I watched the show the parallels between the myth/novel and their story was too accurate, also they look similar to what Patrochilles looked like (at least how I imagined them in my mind).
Hope you enjoy this!

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the poetic genius of Achilles Come Down. It's enough to break my fragile heart into a million pieces.
