making this account to rant about pens into the void
I'm not sure why lamy is having a sale at most of the local shops but that is tempting me to buy a pen that I don't need. I have always wanted a lamy vista, and it more than doubled in price in 20 years, sometimes I wonder if I just bought it early on then I could have enjoyed it a lot longer.

I got this miniature sake bottle bin from daiso and it holds my fountain pens now. I'm tempted to get another one because I still have more pens, but I also want to reduce the number of inked pens at once 🤔

shop: *ships it out*
Canada Post: *STRIKES*

I swapped a Jinhao 82 fude nib into the Perkeo. I kind of hate it for writing because the angle is too much, like the green Fude de mannen. For drawing it's alright since I don't hold it at a consistent angle anyway.

I would love to get a glow in the dark kakuno but it doesn't exist yet, if I really want one, I'll have to make a custom one myself 🤔

The pen arrived last week so it's not a scam. From my order confirmation to shipped and handed to the courier was 6 minutes, and I was like HOW???
Anyway, it was a Pilot 78G and the nib was B, I didn't know it was going to be a stub, and it's a bit broader than my Plumix italic medium.

I ordered a fountain pen on aliexpress, it shipped out in record time and now I have to wonder if it's a scam 😂😭

Went to a Chinese knick knack shop and then saw that they have Hero ink for $2.19 so I bought it 😂 the ink has a clinical(?) smell that reminds me of something 🤔 I put the ink in my Jinhao 82 with a random aliexpress knife nib and it works pretty great.

I have enough ink to last a lifetime, so I wanted to get a pen with a broader nib than what I have so I can use up the ink faster. Remembering the good experience trying out the Faber Castell school+ pen at Wonder Pens ages ago, I thought I'd finally get this pen after all these years.

Right now I really want some new ink.
- Diamine Early Dusk (I don't have any blue ink)
- Platinum Pigment ink Brun Sepia (I also don't have any brown ink)
Because I draw mostly digitally now, every bottle of ink would turn out to be a lifetime supply and that's stressful.

Yesterday I put some fountain pens and ink into a cart but also think about it for a bit first. It kept resetting so I did not buy anything at the end. Like maybe I shouldn't buy more pens. and then somehow I end up making this account to talk about pens and focus on what I have instead 😂
