A collection of fountain pens in their case

Finally in one place! My “collection” is a mix of very expensive (to me) and very affordable (mostly jinhao’s) fountain pens. I love keeping the jinhaos in my bag and at work, since I wouldn’t feel so bad if I lost them, so they are the majority of this hoard lol finally got a case!

Saw this #fountainpen thread on Threads and my heart gushed and couldn’t stop 🥹🥹🥹 someone get this boy a Lamy STAT!

Endless Pens has the new 2025 color for the Opus 88 Demo fountain pen and I'm gonna experience a lot of fomo on this one, I'm afraid.

That makes sense—I respect the dedication, discipline, and discernment.

But you will want to! It’s addictive lol

“Writer’s Blood” strikes again!

Mini-pigs love to snuggle more than anything. Personally when I’ve had a trying day or can’t muster the energy to do something, I do pig therapy—which is literally just lying down and letting the piggies warm up on ya.

For the last two years I've looked back at the fountain pen inks that were meaningful, interesting, or simply made me happy that year—here's my list for 2024.

When I’m not doing fountain pen or gamedev stuff, I’m playing Homestead-maker Dr. Doolittle. Second best therapy behind, you know…. Therapy 😭😂😅

I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Nice try, Doc! Using my addiction to get me to finally take one of those tests!

But seriously, I kinda wanna start using cloth napkins instead of paper towels because the patterns can be so beautiful and can tell stories of the pens over time

Bonus ASMR-type video of me writing with the fountain pen last night. The nib has a lovely feedback to it that’s very akin to that of my Sailor 1911S.

Apologies for the potato quality. Crap lighting, and attempting to hold the phone in my left hand while writing with the right. 🤷

I won't say I'm starting to geek out about fountain pens, but I did order ink in a different colour rather than be practical by using up the blue ink I currently have first. Cleaned the nib. Considering a second pen with a wide calligraphy nib to use as a highlighter with pale ink.

Font WIP screenshot in a software called High-Logic Font Creator. The interface presents my blackletter calligraphic font called Rosier.

Version 1.0 of my blackletter font, Rosier One, is finally ready. The GitHub repository should be set up within 2 days. I'm really happy how it came out 🤩

I've drawn the glyphs by hand in Fontself iPad app and put everything together with FontCreator

Love to see it! I am doing the same, except it’s more contemporary fiction rather than science fiction. It reminds me of the old days of not having a computer and it somehow feels…. “Better” isn’t the right word. “Clearer”? Like, I have more creative freedom, and the road is wider?

I am writing a science fiction mystery novel by hand.

When I complete a chapter I type it out. It is a great way to edit.

And! If I want to write somewhere other than my house, it is much easier to grab a notebook than it is to grab a laptop and hope an outlet is available at the coffee shop.

Why would I let people I’ve never met ruin my day

Agreed!

I’m a HUGE proponent of public transportation, walking, and accessibility. It ought to be a crime to make a city/country where people NEED a car to live. A car ought to be a nice little bonus, not a make-or-break decision.

It’s fun trying to find that line between “I need to remain vigilant of the horrors afoot” and also “oh no my heart is racing and my jaw is making weird creaky sounds and I can taste pennies.”

This could be us but you're playing

Fuck off Biden, y'all didn't do shit to stop any oligarchy. They were paying you like they were paying the Republicans but it just paid off for them this time.
But I remember people shitting on Bernie for talking about the oligarchy 24/7 and we could've stopped this in 2016-2020. Roosters otw.
