The Questing Cock? It's a thing. See, in the Magicians, the magical, fictional fairy tale land of Fillory turns out to be real and not just a story in a book. This world has questing creatures, and if you catch them, you get a wish / a quest. The Questing Cock in one of these - he lives in the Cock Barrens. Yeah. He's a giant bird.
See, this monster was made by the Gods at the beginning of time, and because they really fucking suck, they made a being of pure want. It doesn't know how NOT TO WANT things, mostly, it wants affection. Attention. It's basically a five year old with unlimited powers. It kidnaps Quentin, and then murders around the world with Quentin there as a witness or, more likely, his security blanket. Because it really, really likes Quentin. The Monster killing someone over sprinkles here.
Quentin will also NEVER MENTION any of this! He doesn't even mention Eliot as anything other than - this is Eliot (/explanation). He'll talk Peter's ear off about his ideas about superheroes, tropes and fantasy stories! Yay! But mention ANY OF THIS WHOLE MESS? Never. He might mention problems in his own world? And that he died 39 times? But the whole messy emotional crap? NEVER!
Holy crap - I dropped out of the comics right after the story mentioned that the Peter Parker we'd been reading about, was really the clone and the clone (who wasn't even called Peter by that time) was really the original Peter. It was a mess. I never really got in to it after that, because I found other comics? But wow, and MJ and Green Goblin? Shit!
Don't mention that you relate without elaborating, Peter! Because Quentin has this whole HUGE must fix the thing!-thing going on! Unless he gets distracted by random crap. It's part of how he only feels like he has a right to exist if he's useful? Since if he isn't being useful to someone, or something (quests!) he's just a waste of space. Issues, man! So many issues! But otherwise he's going to try to get Peter to talk about weird things!
Quentin being bad at taking a shirt off:
Quentin, still and always loving his ex-girlfriend Alice: 1, 2
Oh, he WILL FUCKING SING THEM! Don't ever doubt the power of TSwift! Seriously, though. I have no idea, Quentin is a BIG FAN in canon, so I have to google Taylor Swift songs a lot.
HE KNOWS! Jersey is not good a good place for a kid! New York IS BETTER!
