Yo, trying to sell my Tomie hobonichi weeks for 30 bucks >< I just don't know how to use it and I don't want it to go to waste!
(can send everywhere except USA and Russia)

Trying to match everything to violet, with various results. Majority of it all I got in jpn, still trying to coordinate with local limited options lol

Made a quick spread of things I carry with my in my backpack. Though I don't use it too often, I have stuff at home and at work to write with, and I don't go anywhere else really.

I avoid food-themed stationery. I just don't like food. When in Japan I got myself a brown washi with cute patterns and when I unpacked it back home... It was bread-patterned. The tragedy of weak eyesight.

New Sailor and Plus collab is so gorgeous and the fact that it has a Lecoule version is really neat. I couldn't afford those ever so maybe I'll be able to get... And then they make 14k version with B nib. Really? Is the point making me suffer???

I used to jot down cartridge inks as well, but I use my cartridges exclusively at work and I move them around a lot so plenty of time I have no idea what I write with... Wah :(

Recently I've ran out of space to register my inks. I use Midori Diamond notebook for that, that thing's been in use since 2019, since I got into fountain pens. Got a new one when I had the chance, happy inking ✨

I have a Kakitsubata pen (from Sailor Manyo series)!! It's an M nib, got it purely because my oshi is also named Kakitsubata. Additionally, I've put ink that also matches another oshi I ship him with. I love mixing my obsessions. Yes.

Unfortunately if I saw all that shit a decade or two ago I'd suck it all up but now... I feel only distaste.

FWP gets an HP collab. Okay, whatever, but what else could you expect. Lamy gets HP collab. Kinda ugly, whatever. Paperblanks is getting HP collab. Zebra Sarasa is getting HP collab. What the fuck is going oonnnnnn

I already am eyeing ANOTHER pricy pen oops (I'll try and stop myself though).

Ordered myself a new pricy pen and I'm anxious bc it's been a while (and pricy pens every day get even pricier)

If not the amount of notebooks I have to use up that will last me a lifetime, I'd be SO tempted by new day-free hibino. That and PVC cover. Guys, please...

Gods she's so sexy. I must find a way to get those at better price since for some reason Japanese store doesn't ship to my country. Of course.

My opinion about reddit's FWP AMA thread:
LMAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Got myself one of those Toyo Steel Boxes and by god, it feels so sexy.

Sometimes the only way to tell your feelings out is whipping out dip pens.

And yet they still won't make a lavender pen 🙄🙄🙄

Ayo btw is it me or has Lamy gone nuts with LEs ever since they were taken over by the Japanese lmaoo

On a cooler note, I discovered something - Pelikan Edelstein inks come in those cute metal boxes with long standard cartridges. When you use those up, you can also perfectly store small cartridges. That's a pretty cool design.

How was everyone's Pelikan Hubs? Apparently who got and who didn't this year's ink was completely arbitrary. Our Hub got Tanzanite, which made us feel that someone was cleaning out the stock. I ain't gonna complain about free ink, but it was a little weird that some people actually got the Apricot.

Me: Hey, Google, are there any European shops that sell refills for system techo notebooks?
Google: of course, there is so many resellers of hobonichi and jibun in Europe!
Me: no no no, ring planners.
Google: Well there is filofax.
Me: what else?
Google: hey there is a reseller shop in Hongkong.

Hey guess who got themselves Hobonichi Weeks Junji Ito edition without any idea what to even use it for........

Radio silence due to Japan absolutely murdering me. Sorry about that. Either way, back to suffering.

Jetstream multipens seem to have finally entered Europe. Wowwww

I came to Kobe today, I wanted to go to Nagasawa and get myself something really cool from here, but I think in the end I won't be able to afford that... I'm sad about it, but nothing can be done. Instead I'll enjoy other spots, so that's fine too!

On this note, Pokemon Centers are evil, evil places.

In Narita, I got myself a Traveler's Notebook. I went from one Factory to the other, collecting stamps for stamp rally as well as completing the setup. Today in Kyoto I got final refill and a red clip (since I couldn't afford Kyoto or Love and Trip editions).

Yeah, Tolight with tulips is so lovely... But still not my style at all! So I wait for Liberty florals and Leather Covers. I'm mostly looking for a cover bc I know I'll use MD Paper this year and I'll be in TOBICHI anyway, I won't buy anything otherwise...

Hobonichi is going absolutely wild with colors and shiny saturated designs. I'm happy, because that is absolutely not for me and thus my wallet is relatively safe. I know I'll fold whne Liberty designs appear.
