The Muji ones you can get at Muji or online. I doubt a stationary store would carry it 😅

Two last things: I also have a cheap Campus notebook from Oomomo that works good, too

and I don’t use my Kaweco Sport Fine with any of these notebooks. I don’t like how it looks or feels. I only use it with extra cheap Muji notebooks.

I’m bad at photographing ink but the sheen and shading comes through. The paper is smooth but not slippy. And the pages aren’t sepia so i can see the pen colour.

I like these both way way way more that any other notepad I have

I just saw this 🙂

I’ve tried a bunch of fancy papers and I don’t like most of them. I’ve tried Leuchturn (sp?), Rhodia, Clairfontaine, and another and don’t like them. The paper I like the best is in this notepad from Muji. Close second is this Maruman

The pen feels good and the ink looks great!

I’ve published my novella, Missing Things.

It’s free on Apple and Kobo and will make you very

are we excited for Missing Things, my upcoming novella of deep existential angst? Of course we arent! but i have ✨character art✨ now!

no i also write novels and novellas. i have one published novel, Soft, and a published novella, Not As Planned

though Not As Planned is kind of an extended shitpost i wrote after getting annoyed with my scrum team at work 😅

theyre also free, btw

My short story collection, Connections, is now out on Apple books and Kobo. And it’s Freeeeeeee!!!

I’ve ordered my first Kaweco Sport Fountain pen and i now understand the hype! also Kaweco Smokey Grey is awesome! as is Robert Oster Dark Chocolate

yeah i’m not too sure whats up with it. I was surprised when i saw it

but since i have cartridges in the Prera, i can use the Prera’s converter and leave this in the box

Excuse my crusty unmanicured hands 😅

you can see that there’s this squishy rubber on the side that you press

it doesn’t work super well

thank you

i love it uncapped but capped it looks like it wants me to write a will 😅

(also yes i do desire one because i hear about how well it writes)

i meant to say “converter” but it’s not a piston but this weird suction thing? with squeezy sides

maybe that’s why its inexpensive 😅

the way you worded it started with “its not a good pen”

and its not that it isn’t a good pen; it’s that if you prefer a light pen — which you won’t know if you’ve never used a fountain pen — then this isn’t a pen you’ll like

as a writer i took issue with the way this was framed

yes if you don’t like a heavy pen you wont like it but it’s still a good pen

and i like it better than my twsbis and my prera so

Straight up i love mine. I don’t like the ink thingy it came with but i used the one from my Prera — which i dont like — and im good. but also pilot cartridges are lovely

i also have two twsbi diamonds and like it better than them

the weight and size of the pen is an asset

i’m hoping to create a toxic sludge that turns my pens evil

a warning sign that says " the toxic avenger " ALT: a warning sign that says " the toxic avenger "

why does everyone keep thinking i have like a pile of pens? i have four in all: one is a vintage Waterman that i wont ever use, one is a prera with a cattridge, and two are twsbi diamonds

none of these are cheap!

Anyways out of spite im mixing all my inks together into a vat to see what happens

a warning sign that says " the toxic avenger " ALT: a warning sign that says " the toxic avenger "

i only have two pens (that arent the Waterman with no converter) and they’re both TWSBI Diamonds that (to me) arent cheap

however, i do look forward to the one that was filled with the unholy mix of black and sparkly blue to turn evil after the ink turns to toxic sludge! ai have plans! muahahahah!

i combined light sky blue with black wanting to just make the blue a bit darker. just a drop of black made it blue-grey, which i liked

i get it its just that it’s all so vague

and because i’m an entire gremlin i have this vision of fountain pens gone evil because of bubbling green sludge fountain pen ink 😅

my pen just jumped out of my bag and threatened to shiv me if i ever do this again to it so i think ive learned my lesson

i’ll be bringing my pen to hazardous waste disposal once i subdue it with alcohol

ok so moral of the story is dont try

so too late because the frankenink is in my pen, ready to destroy everything it comes in contact with

i ended up mixing a little bit — just enough to half-fill my twsbi diamond — and i don’t regret it

i got a really pretty blue-grey colour with a hint of purple

its like when you have the last bits of hair colour and you combine them together… 😅

i have two pens with no cartridges. i don’t know why i would have pens i can get rid of. the whole point is to not have a disposable pen

but really what’s gonna happen? will the pen blow up? turn evil?

i figure worst case is the colour is ugly or clumpy and ill have to flush the pen

*what’s not quarts

i think you’re misunderstanding quarts going on: i don’t want to start an ink mixing hobby; i have two inks — one that is too light and one that is too boring — and wanted to know if i could mix them to see if i could get something i liked

otherwise these two inks are gonna stay in their jars

Ah! Let me check!

thanks for the tip!

Can one mix fountain pen inks

Like i have a very sparkly ink that’s super light that i bought on a whim

and i have a black ink that’s boring af

could i mix the two together (in a small bottle separate)? would that work?

maybe i should just try
