Cried in a grocery store for a prolonged period of time when I retold the story to my mom
Side note where are the men like Achilles. Like be in drag and profess your love to your husband (even tho ur not married) in a room full of people including the woman ur mom made u have a child with. Collect your lover's ashes even tho it's a woman's job and then announce that when you die ur ashes will mixed together. Makes me emotional. Also I will not accept the ending in which Patroclus is stuck on Earth forever my heart cannot take it Achilles's mom sent him off idc idc. My boys deserve to be together forever in peace and Achilles deserves to go back to how he was before the war 10/10 my heart literally aches thinking about their love
