"I 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"
"Name one hero who was happy. You can't" "I can't" "I'm going to be the first. Swear it." "Why me?" "Because you're the reason. Swear it." Yep. And that's how the book ends. They live happily every after :')
@@mal64319they did, thanks to Priam' sons. And Achilles avenged Patroclus by killing Hector, and Neoptolemus, Achilles's son, avenged his father by killing París (not the city). And if you were joking then sorry, tone is hard to decypher through text 😅
0:56 their first real kiss had me choked up especially when he turned to Achilles thinking he was already asleep so that he can watch him and Achilles is already wide awake watching him 😭😭😭. Best first kiss no cap
God that conversation at the end breaks my heart. I have no idea what The Song of Achilles is, but I do know how Achilles and Patroclus’ story ends and it ain’t happy.
It's a very well written retelling of Patroclus and Achilles' story and the end is HEARTBREAKING (you know what's gonna happen and yet, it still hurts 😢)
i had my tsoa brainrot phase like a few months ago but i've honestly just been able to finally get my hands on the book a few days ago and i haven't been able to actually read it yet. and the thing is: i didn't really think that this fandom was dead in any way, but seeing this new animatic pop up on my page felt so weird😭 wdym this was made 2 days ago, that can't be real😭 it just feels so surreal for some reason. i feel like i've seen every animatic abt tsoa in existense, i know everything there is to know. for new content to just show up (and high quality one, especially)... just feels so weird oh well at least this reminded me that i have to read the actual book as soon as i can
I cried twice from this book. My only consolation from the absolute catastrophic trainwreck that my heart was in was that they did in fact meet again in the underworld.
That is honestly the best part about the book. You know how this story ends. You read each page with bated breath. Just waiting for the moment when Achilles and Patroclus' fate are sealed. Watching as the story creeps closer and closer to each character's final moments. Even though it's impossible, you wanna shout out to the characters. Tell them to stray away from the inevitable.
fun fact in the lyric of this song there's a line that goes "Like Hephaestion, who died Alexander's lover" Alexander and Hephaestion respectively saw themself as Archilles and Patroclus. One also died first, and soon after the other one follow suit
No words will ever describe how I felt after finishing this book for the first time. I wish I could go back. But now, as Patroclus said: “I am made of memories” and this book will definitely stay a core memory
“Because you’re the reason” “He is half my soul, as the poets say” “I would know him in death at the end of the world” 😭This book makes me believe in love
Devastating, honestly, especially Achilles being so proud about his public image but when Patroclus dies his grief is portrayed so well it was so sad...
It's okay, I didn't need my heart today. Lemme just *sobs for 6000 MORE years about that book* Incredible work again, friend. Look at those good sweet boys. I'm sure nothing bad will ever happen to such a sweet couple
Every time meet an historian i ask them if Achilles and Patroclus were lovers. If i get anything other a clear yes i don't bother wasting my time listeling to them.
Here 10 raison why i cried on this beautiful animation : 1:the characters are the one that i love the most 2:the art style is wonderfull 3:the music is so beautiful 4:Their story was shown by a perfect way 5: Someone makes a animation about them so i love you 6:The coloring is awsome 7:you're a very talented fellow 8:Happy pride month 9:I loved it 10:shut up this was perfect , pretty,awsome, beautiful and wonderfull,continue like this and thank you ❤
"how many times did you watch it?" "yes" I MEAN Apart from the artstyle i loved the color coding in every scene, if i have it right here: Firstly blue for the times when they were still strangers, a cold color. Then yellow for the times when friendship had already sparked within them, a warmer color and also a bright one, just like their childhood together was. And finally pink for the moments romance was present, the warmest of all colors here. It was such a great detail to include and omG DO I LOVE IT
I just did a re-read of the book. Things like this can't physically make me cry for some reason, but I do always get this weird feeling that my heart just drops so I guess that's the equivalent of crying my heart out.
Me too! But then I cry over things like a fried egg 😅 but yeah I don’t usually physically cry but I cried from a patrochilles song thingy so i have messed up hormones 😃
This is beautiful ! It amazed me how you art can be funny and lively, tragic and sharp , and soft and pure depending on the subject. The song of achilles is a book who helped me throw one of the most difficult moment of my life, and your animatic depicted everything i loved about this book. Especially about Patroclus actually. You capture is kindness and the calm of his whole narration. Thank you for your work and keep doing what you love !
I love this book so much. I was reading a very different book but took a pause to read this one and I couldn't even bring myself to finish the other book. Song of Achilles made it seem like it would never be worth my time again.
Ikr! I read this book thinking it would get me back to reading, be cuz I went from reading 5 books a week to only 1 a week. And now I think I will never read another book again.
I've bought this book and haven't read it yet, and now I must cancel all my plans today because I need to read it! Thanks for the push and the beautiful art!
I’m not sure if this is actually true but. Apparently they wanted their ashes to be put in the same urn so that they’d be together in the afterlife as well 💙💙
. “He collects my ashes himself, though this is a woman’s duty. He puts them in a golden urn, the finest in our camp, and turns to the watching Greeks. ‘When I am dead, I charge you to mingle our ashes and bury us together.’”
This is so beautiful and touching I’m going to cry. Song of Achilles is always so heartwarming and heartbreaking and the animation here is just so well done it captures it wonderfully I can’t believe there is an amazing animator who has done SIX, Epic and SOA animatics
Literally the first book that made me cry so hard I couldn't breathe I' m not even kidding. I wasn't even aware I had it in me but I just couldn't stop💀
YOU MAKING A TSOA ANIMATIC WITH THAT SONG- I am so not well. I am crying sobbing falling down the stairs. Your designs are absolutely beautiful, especially Thetis', but the flashes of them growing up has me in a chOKEHOLD AND BECAUSE I AM TYPING THIS AS I WATCHED I JUST SAW THEM KISS AHHHHHHHH- TSOA is just my heart's self-tortorous book it loves to read. Tysm for the animatic the color and vibes are heartwarming and painful when you remember their end. Edit: the little animations are so cute. I loved how Achilles strummed the lyre
i have watched this more than 20 times, it's so good ❤❤. this is my comfort video. it makes me happy when i'm sad and makes me sad when i'm happy.. i end up crying everytime. SOCIAL MEDIA WAS CREATED FOR CONTENT LIKE THIS!
Hello😊 I‘m here to thank you for the animation. It was the reason why I‘ve read the book. I just finished it today and I‘m very grateful that I found it through you. The animation itself is also great and the song fits perfectly! I‘m sorry, maybe my english isn’t very well but I still wanted to show you my respect. Have a great day❤
Oh my. I am a huge fan of greek mythology. I almost cried my eyeballs out at the "Name one hero who was happy. You can't" "I can't " "I'm going to be the first. Swear it." "Why me?" "Cause you're the reason. Swear it." "I swear." I know the original story, and hearing that knowing how teribly it's going to end just feels like a punch to the heart.
Just wanted to say that your animatic was what inspired me to buy and read the book. I’ve just finished with it a few days ago and have not moved on since then! So thank you for making this animatic and giving me a new obsession!! 😭
SOBBING CRYING I SOBBED WHEN I FIRST WATCHED THIS IM READING THE BOOK FOR THE FIRST TIME, I HATE THEM AND NEED THEM IN MY BLOOD OMGOMGOMGOMGOGMOGMOGMOGMGOMG
I'm a big fan of the books and omg!!!! This brought all the feelings back... I can never forget that conversation. Perfect music choice and I love the subtle facial expressions and movements in your animation. Thank you for making this and sharing!! Your style is beautiful.
stap i literally read this like two years ago and have been pushing it to the back of my head, you know, in denial and emotionally ruined, like you do, AND THEN THIS- THIS HAD TO COME AROUND AND I AM A WRECK THASNKYOU VERY MUCH-
0:55 “I closed my eyes and waited, long minutes, until I guessed he was asleep. Then I turned to look at him. He was on his side, watching me. I had not heard him turn. I never hear him. He was utterly motionless, that stillness that was his alone. I breathed, and was aware of the bare stretch of dark pillow between us. He leaned forward. Our mouths opened under each other, and the warmth of his sweetened throat poured into mine. I could not think, could not do anything but drink him in, each breath as it came, the soft movements of his lips. It was a miracle.”
This book is on my to-be-read list and I haven't gotten to it yet, but I have a vague idea of the ending. Just seeing this two minute video made me want to sob for characters I don't even really know. This was so beautiful and powerful, thank you.
This is beautifully directed/animated and touchingly innocent in the way the story is told. Thank you very much for sharing and good luck with your future ideas.
It's so charming ! ** And this song is sooo right for Patrochilles ! Between this and your wonderful videos on EPIC and Six, I am a very big fan of yours.
Y'all, I just had a whole adventure So, it starts with me looking for a new musical after my SIX phase. I see EPIC. I start to listen and watch animatics. I get obsessed with gigi. I watch this animatic, Mystery of Love, even though I've never read the book. I decide to get the book. I just finished it today, and I haven't sobbed this hard in a long time Thank you for probably the best book I've ever read!! (And your art is actually amazing. I love it
That moment between the two of them always makes me cry... "Because you're the reason. Swear it." Oh how the tragic love story of Achilles and Patroclus hurts the heart. I read the book through tears, but in the end I absolutely balled... "In the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless, heavy dusk. Their hands meet, and light spills in a flood, like a hundred golden urns pouring out the sun." Now you must be miserable again with me hehehe This animation is perfection, I adore it!!
Even though heroes are role models for everyone, someone whom we can pray for our safety, they are just people like you and me: whole lives in needing of affection and a safe place where to reside and peacefully rest. Heroes too needs to heal and feel warm. This is in fact what Achilles' story told us, it shows much more than his mere strength: it was about balance and harmony between the divine/superhuman and the mundane. It is about to respect and do not take for granted the true heroes we met in our short, nearsighted... human!, lifespan. Do not ever forget to be charitable, loving and kind!
I was gonna comment “where was this when I read the book years ago 😭” but this was posted last year, and I’ve been meaning to finished/reread this book. But I keep putting it off. And now it’s the first day of Pride month, and this is a sign more than ever. Edit. This is very beautifully made. Every scene is like in the book, I can feel every emotion and all the thoughts I had while reading the book. This song fits so well, their time spent here pulls at my heart strings.
_“I 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.”_ ― *Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles*

I have no idea what yall are talking about, we all know they live a very happy, beautiful life together

That moment between the two of them always makes me cry... "Because you're the reason. Swear it." Oh how the tragic love story of Achilles and Patroclus hurts the heart. I read the book through tears, but in the end I absolutely balled...
"In the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless, heavy dusk. Their hands meet, and light spills in a flood, like a hundred golden urns pouring out the sun." Now you must be miserable again with me hehehe
This animation is perfection, I adore it!!
Hold on a second... I'll just quickly go and sob in the corner 😭😭😭
Your designs are everything btw
Even though heroes are role models for everyone, someone whom we can pray for our safety, they are just people like you and me: whole lives in needing of affection and a safe place where to reside and peacefully rest.
Heroes too needs to heal and feel warm.
This is in fact what Achilles' story told us, it shows much more than his mere strength: it was about balance and harmony between the divine/superhuman and the mundane.
It is about to respect and do not take for granted the true heroes we met in our short, nearsighted... human!, lifespan.
Do not ever forget to be charitable, loving and kind!
I was gonna comment “where was this when I read the book years ago 😭” but this was posted last year, and I’ve been meaning to finished/reread this book. But I keep putting it off. And now it’s the first day of Pride month, and this is a sign more than ever.
Edit. This is very beautifully made. Every scene is like in the book, I can feel every emotion and all the thoughts I had while reading the book. This song fits so well, their time spent here pulls at my heart strings.
that last part.....😭😭😭 how can you make these masterpieces??. im hitting replay!
just finished the book and this video popped up on my youtube just like a universal message, it's beautifully touching. thank you so much 🫶
_“I 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.”_
