"But he had not that supreme gift of the artist, the knowledge of when to stop."
It's weird to read this in a Sherlock Holmes story, because it's such a great point about art but he's talking about a murder scheme.

“The wells are to the right, my brothers,” said one, a hard-lipped, clean-shaven man with grizzly hair.
“To the right of the Sierra Blanco—so we shall reach the Rio Grande,” said another.
“Fear not for water,” cried a third. “He who could draw it from the rocks will not now abandon His own chosen people.”
Sure dude, you want that written on your gravestone? (if your body can be recovered at all)

One of the themes of rewrite the stars was the parallel journey between Nico and Jason, where Jason helped Nico come to terms with his sexuality and find comfort in his heritage and for Nico to help Jason do the same. A boy who was rejected for his lineage as a son of Hades and a boy who knew nothing past his father’s title, both making journeys to a place they’re both comfortable and happy with themselves and bring out the happiness in the other.
It makes me sad when I’m told or hear by proxy complaints/disinterest about Jason’s journey when it was just as important as Nico’s in the story, especially when I poured the same amount of love in both parts, and poured even more to get to their happy ending

What's your role in the tragic play?
K'pheli Tia -- desperate narrator.
this story is a cycle, and you're spinning around it like a hamster in a ball being tormented by a cat. you know how this story ends. after all, you've told it a thousand times. but you try to change it every time. you love the people in this story more than anything. so watching them fall victim to the narrative breaks you in a way you can't begin to describe. but all you can do is tell the story── their story── with tears in your eyes. you're prone to anxiety and feelings of helplessness. you have so much love in your heart, and for once you wish it would change something. it didn't. it doesn't. it won't. but you refuse to stop telling the story. and you refuse to stop loving the people in it. in this way, no one is stronger than you. you just wish being strong hurt less.
