helLo i am back its me the original frog anon who keeps asking you questions and im feeling rather froggy again today so does pat have a favorite kind of frog? or is he just an any frog is a good frog kind of person
They’re definitely an All Frog Is A Good Frog kinda person, but when they find out this tiny motherfucker exists, it’s a big hit with the part of his brain that makes the happy brain juice.
thank u for my life. ill be talking more in terms of like. modern aus since. well.
-Menelaus is normally really gentle with those around him, but Paris annoys him like nobody else does, so he can get a bit rough.
-Paris, in turn, just really likes pushing his buttons for the same of getting his attention.
-Their enemies to lovers dynamic is more of a rivals to lovers dynamic cuz they’re always trying to one-up each other even when it’s completely unnecessary
-Menelaus bi, Paris gay. Menelaus LOVED Helen, at some point, Paris thought he liked her, at some point.
-Slow-burn falling for each other in every universe in my head.
-I refuse to villainize Helen. More than anything else, she gets to the point where she just understands them both and eventually understands that it isn’t about her at all.

How do you think Achilles and Patroclus first met? What were their opinions on each other then?
Im gonna assume this is like. About classic patrochilles. It kinda varies in my head, but I always go back to thinking about TSOA. The scene with the lyre at the very beginning stuck out to me.
When they first meet, Patroclus feels really bitter towards Achilles, initially, and hates him at least a little bit. His charisma, his natural charm is just a little bit grating to him and he can’t help but be irritated by him. There’s a little envy there, but its because Patroclus has no self confidence (whereas Achilles has too much.)
But when Achilles first meets Patroclus, first impression, he was probably initially disinterested. Another boy to his possee. But the very second Patroclus doesn’t fawn over him, he is smitten and its the point of no return for him hsjdjs my constant is always that Achilles falls in love first and falls in love fast. Patroclus’ sass and his wit, how could you not? He thinks Patroclus is extraordinary.
I read a fic once where Achilles is straight up an asshole to Patroclus cuz, yanno, he is a spoiled brat, but it was really really good. Like. It was like enemies to lovers and the progression…the character development. It was absolutely brilliant. So I honestly really like that too! The idea that Achilles is just frustrated by someone not being all over him and Patroclus notably Not Caring, slowly falling into each other the more they spend time together. So. So good.
Do you have any favorite ships of Greek Mythology?
YES. this is a good question, i was just thinking about this. Achilles/Patroclus, of course, i genuinely can’t see them with anybody else. Hades/Persephone, Eurydice/Orpheus, Eros and Psyche…all those good classic mythological love story answers.
I also Really ship odysseus and diomedes hagsdja but odysseus/penelope as WELL thats his wife he loves her so much. hector/andromache are so good, they are so tender….
i’ve recently been REALLY into menelaus/paris. i even wrote a fic for them.
