Got my new Emerald City Blue ink from The Wet Pen in the mail today, had to ink up the Lamy Dark Dusk with it. It’s beautiful. I may swap the M nib for a B later so the beautiful green sheen on this blurple ink will come through.
Thanks Matthew! I love it!

Randomly saw the Day 1 prompt for Inktober ‘25, and despite never having done it or even having drawn for awhile, had to dive right in. I’m late a few days, but I’ll make it up. (I think)

You’d think, given my current fountain pen/ink obsession, that this would be another of my many Fountain Pen/Ink Incidents.
Alas, it is not.

A “grail pen” I’ve been waiting for just came in tonight. It will be my last pen for awhile due to my need to tighten my budget.
But it’s oh so worth it.
Thank you, Desiderata Pens, and Pierre Miller.
She’s gorgeous.

Consoled myself over the loss of my wheels with my favorite cookies. I’m low-key addicted to these things.

Feeling like I need to belong to *this* society, instead of the one trying to impose its asinine will on me for the last 56 years.
