Friendly Reminder: Be Kind To Yourself.

Friendly reminder: Be kind to yourself.

(If that seems like a lot or too much maybe just try a little kindness at first. Like say one good thing about yourself even if you don’t believe it right now.)

Still thinking about how once Kipps joins Lockwood & Co. as a contractor, Lockwood makes it clear from the get go he's part of the team by calling him Quill.

Like yes, by the end of things in The Empty Grave, George and Lucy call him Quill, too, but when he first started out with them? When it was all new and tenuous and uncertain for Kipps? Maybe Lockwood didn't say as much, but he sure as hell made it clear to everyone he was part of the team, fully and unequivocally. It wasn't 'Kipps' he invited to work with his agency, it was 'Quill.'

And in that same vein, I'm pretty sure there's only one instance where Kipps calls Lockwood 'Tony' after joining -- and it's not even to his face, it's to Lucy when they're on the other side and it's dawned on both of them he might very well die once he crosses the iron bridge and returns to the living world.

And in that reference, it's kinda a glimpse into the past? Because Kipps says it almost fondly, like Tony's a nickname for Lockwood rather than an insult (which I firmly believe is how it was at one point), and that speaks of a history between them that wasn't as contentious as the one we see in the first few books.

Anyways, I've loved Kipps since The Whispering Skull and my love for him has only grown, so am I reading into Locky using his first name? Yes, I absolutely am.

sometimes it’s better refrain from deep introspection and allow yourself to just be.
