Ohhhhh I Get It Now. The "gifted Kid" Discourse Exists Because People See It Fundamentally As A Sign

ohhhhh I get it now. the "gifted kid" discourse exists because people see it fundamentally as a sign of Privilege and not as a largely meaningless category that puffs up weird children before setting them up for the same unremarkable lives as everyone else; thus they interpret people going "the educational system gave me false expectations before ultimately abandoning me to the same heartless world as everyone else" as "why am I, The Main Character, not getting everything I ever wanted."

I’m sorry if this has been asked before but how did Crowley get approved to rent an appartement? The forms that need to be filled in have things like “current employer”, and I doubt “Hell” would be an accepted answer

I’m pretty sure that in Crowley’s world, filling out forms is something that happens to other people.

Happy: “Kid–,”

Peter, looking absolutely betrayed: “Were you ever going to tell me?”

Happy: “I didn’t mean to lie to you, I swear. I thought you knew.”

Peter, dramatic as hell: “Five years.”

Happy: “Peter–,”

Peter: “I spent five years believing that your god-given name was Happy Hogan.”

Peter, already tearing up: “I don’t even know who you are anymore, Harold.”
