obviously the draw of the song of achilles is patroclus and achilles and their characters + relationship, but after reading it i can’t stop thinking about thetis and deidameia and how much of a skillful balancing act it was to pull them off. like the specific combination of their antagonistic roles in the story along with the setting and the type of story and the limitations of patroclus’ pov would have made it easy for them to end up flatter than they did, but they are so human and fully realized and sympathetic. too tired to elaborate but i found them so compelling and intriguing for so many reasons and i appreciated their depiction
