This musical makes me feel so many things.
I can't believe I did it. It's amazing that I was able to do it in such a short amount of time.
And I hope you're not disappointed. It's still more like a storyboard (just with more frames) than a full animation.
Thank you all for waiting
thank you so much for this gorgeous animatic!!

Quotes from submissions:
«i'm on the production team for this musical adaptation of the iliad and the author/producer is aroace himself and specifically wrote achilles/patroclus to be qpr-coded in this version. a lot of our fanbase is aro &/or ace and we've had a lot of discussions in our discord server about what this specific depiction of a/p means to a lot of us as a result.»
«They're intentionally written to be queerplatonic! As youth, they are joyful and carefree, and Young Achilles sings, "Where you go, I will go with you" ("Where You Go"). As adults, their story is one of grief and loss ("O Icarus"), but also leaving pork roast on the table for the other ("Interlude II") and heartbreakingly beautiful lyricism, like "We'll have our forever" / "Or whatever is left" ("Who Is This Boy") and "I wish I had a secret/I wish I had a thousand/And just so I could tell him every single one" ("Memory").»
«They're from a popular new Iliad adaptation written and produced by aroace artists! Their qpr isn't spelled out since it's Ancient Greece, but the writers have confirmed that qp was their intent»
thank you so much for including us! :)
