So, Quentin also has half of that? Because he grew up with just his dad, because his mom left them and he has magic? And there was this bad, bad Beast that targeted him?
No prophecies, though. Just a weird quest given to Eliot from the questing cock about Eliot's floppy-haired friend.
OH LET'S COMPARE TRAUMA - Quentin grew up with his single dad in New Jersey, because his mom left them because she just couldn't deal with either of them. She constantly hates Quentin and calls him a failure. She mentions him, to his face! as the boy how breaks everything around him. Always. His dad dies of magical Brain cancer! And, Quentin was the one to bring magic back (quest!) and thus killed his own dad!
His girlfriend died and turned in to a niffin that lived in his back for a year, talking to him in his head. He has clinical depression to the point where he's been hospitalized several times. He gets his best friend raped by a god, because he refuses to help her learn magic. He gets his ex-girlfriend BACK FROM THE DEAD! and she hates him for it. She's his ex because he slept with Eliot and Margo-- by accident! It was a one-time thing!
And then- jesus, and then he lived a whole life, trapped in the magical, mythical kingdom of Fillory (think Narnia, but darker). He lived it for more than fifty years, he got married and he had a son. He lived it with Eliot, for all those years until Eliot dies in his sleep when they're about 80? This is when the quest is completed (show the beauty of all life) and -- and that whole timeline is just erased! BUT! Quentin and Eliot both remember it! AND Quentin, remembering this perfect, wonderful life, wants to try in this one --- AND ELIOT TURNS HIM DOWN WITH 'that's not me and that's definitely not you, Q, so no.' JUST AFTER THAT! An unstoppable, unkillable monster possess Eliot's body and starts killing people with Quentin in tow. Because it likes Quentin. It hates everything else, but it likes Quentin, so of course Quentin has to come along to rip the hearts out of people's chests! For putting sprinkles on ice cream!
Quentin died (partly) to get Eliot his body back.
Spider-man is kind of cool, because he's from New York, so there!
... he just MIGHT sing Taylor Swift at Peter, yes! There's a TSwift song for every occasion!
