“I sent Christopher Pluver to the Poison World. I figure that should give me some points in my favour.”

Apologize for what you've done, fine. But never for who you are. 'Cause you'll never be able to change that.

Catching up on Magicians and I still want to beat the character of Plover over the head with a brick

Alice tricking Plover into the Poison Room fountain is absolutely valid.

Okay so like, in canon of The Magicians, Fillory is a real place with a real history.

Quentin was first introduced to that real place and that real history via the medium of books written by a Christopher Plover. He loved the world depicted in those books, because it felt so real to him. He originally attributed that feeling to the quality of Christopher Plover’s writing.

But then he found out that actually, no, Plover’s writing wasn’t the reason Fillory felt real to him. The reason Fillory felt so real to him -- realer even then his actual life -- was because Fillory is actually fucking real.

Not only is Fillory real, but Quentin’s relationship to Fillory is real. Quentin has an authentic metaphysical fated link to Fillory that transcends time and space. Quentin lived an entire lifetime in Fillory 100 years before he was born (yay time-travel shenanigans!). Quentin recognized the world the books described and his connection to that world, on a deep metaphysical subconscious level, before he had any way of really understanding what that recognition meant.

So yeah, my point is,

Of course I think Quentin will/did/would want to tell his Fillorian son all about the history (and future) of Fillory. But I very much doubt he will/would choose to share Christopher Plover’s version of that narrative. Quentin knows what really happened. He can tell the story in his own words.

And another point I want to make is,

If a bad person introduces you to something good, you can love the good thing and share the good thing with others. Loving the good thing doesn’t mean you loved the bad person who introduced it to you. Sharing the good thing doesn’t mean you have to recreate your bad introduction to it.
