Do you have any headcanons for Achilles?
OMGGGGGGG I AM IN LOVE W THIS QUESTION BC ACHILLES IS MY LIFELINE!!!! THANK YOU TO WHOEVER SENT THIS IN I LOVE YOU OMFG (can you tell i’m excited and that i love tsoa)
- it’s clear and blatantly obvious to everyone who’s ever laid eyes on achilles that he’s the most beautiful person on the planet, he looks like a painting & greek statue brought to life, he knows his beauty but honestly doesn’t always give that much thought to it - it’s very natural to him
- i think he has a melodic, deep voice that literally is one of the best sounds you’d hear in your life
- achilles eyes look like the softest green grass, looks like a light shade of mint, looks like sea green! his hair is like a halo of golden strands - his skin is pretty soft and a golden tan color, has the most lovely smile and laugh and no one can resist this beautiful bastard
- multi-talented obviously, he’s an ace at everything he does and never comes in last, is a winner in all aspects and while he has pride in this, he cares more about how he himself is emotionally after meeting patroclus, he takes more pride in his love, compassion, and humanity due to his adoration of patroclus
- he took up art & sculpting because he wanted to paint patroclus and put it on his wall and wanted to sculpt patroclus’ body because that would require very deep research if you catch my drift
- achilles smells like honey & almonds, pomegranates, and the sea and it’s intoxicating
- one time he ran over to see patroclus to go talk to him and that’s one of the only times in his life that he lost his footing and fell on his face kdksks patroclus was like “OMG ARE YOU OKAY???” and achilles like the smooth dude he is gave a thumbs up, groaned, and said “looks like i fell for you” and patroclus just thought “bro why am i love w him”
- achilles is a fellow bastard clown! he’s a bad bitch and that’s that on THAT
- idk why i think achilles is a scorpio kdjdnd he has that Energy
- achilles is a master strategizer and also runs on his impulses, the most important thing in the universe to him is patroclus and his goal was/is/always will be to keep him safe & protected
- i’ve seen fanart of them as modern characters and i’m........ i’m in LOVE w that.
- achilles would be the most popular guy in school bc he’s beautiful, nice, honest, trustworthy, and intelligent (he’s the captain of the varsity track team, lead his team to GOLD!) but while he is considered popular he literally doesn’t notice and only hangs out w patroclus, and patroclus is a sweet, soft, beautiful boy whomst everyone is in love with bc he’s just so damn sweet and helpful and he is the president of the poetry club and achilles joins and just fawns over him the entire time
- ok modern au over (it will never be over for me let it be known i will make as many headcanons for modern!patrochilles as possible you just gotta let me know if you want it <3)
- i think that achilles is most drawn and comfortable at the sea, not so much because his mother is thetis but because in the sea all he has to do is let the current take him and the color of the sea which is a beautiful turquoise brings him happiness (because one time patroclus wore a tunic that same color, and that day he was so happy, so now that’s achilles favorite color)
- achilles is known to be very honest and simple? but i just think that he has no room for fallacies and just wants to lay it all out on the table, he believes in action and esp when it comes to love, he wants to experience it fully bc he knows gods, demigods, anyone and everyone doesn’t always get to experience true love & he has that with patroclus
- achilles is taller than patroclus & likes to hold stuff above his head bc it makes patroclus pout and he has to climb and give achilles a kiss (except one time patroclus just kicked achilles in the shin and had a shit eating grin bc hehe that’s funny and he deserved it)
- when achilles laughs, birds start chirping + sun starts shining brighter + world looks more beautiful / when he’s angry, the world has a dark tinge to it, the currents are hazardous, and there’s a sense of dread in the air (but don’t worry, achilles is often happy w patroclus bc i said so)
- yes it’s known that achilles has rage in him and honestly can i blame him for that? to be told from a young age you’d be a god, to be trained separately from everyone and have your life not even be your own, to have it be a means to an end for the other gods - he only reallly realizes that when he meets patroclus - bc patroclus is HIS own sweet, precious person that he has in his life that wants the best for achilles - that there’s more to his life and that there’s more to achilles as person. patroclus doesn’t care about glory & pride and just wants to love and grow old w achilles and vice versa - philtatos - most beloved.
- achilles has such top energy djjdjdjd the way he made patroclus blush so much and did the “have i spoken of this?” shit bro i done Lost My Mind
- and pivoting to a whole 180 do you remember when......... THAT scene happened and achilles fell to the ground ripping his hair out, crying his eyes out, raging at the gods and screaming so painfully it broke chords in my heart? how he defied FATE and the gods were scared bc oh my god he loved patroclus so much, he was both numb and sorrowful without him? how he said “there’s no bargains between lions & men, i will kill you and eat you raw” basically noting how he would commit an act only reserved for the gods bc he was so like !!!!!!! HE JUST FUCKING LOVES PATROCLUS SO MUCH AND THEY DESERVED BETTER I KNOW IT’S THE EPITOME OF A GREEK TRAGEDY BUT THEY DESERVED LOVE
- BASICALLY I LOVE ACHILLES!!!! and they are alive and in the modern day and are in LOVE
hope you enjoyed friend!!!! i never really honestly thought about achilles headcanons bc madeline miller did THAT and ahhh bro i want there to be another TSOA i need my boys BACK <3 i love you for sending this in
