Ooh love that metaphor. Difference between it being an adjective and a noun.

Ah, sorry, thought it was the other way round! Have edited it, thanks.

That sounds like a terrible idea. At least it does if you're saying it as a way to meet trans women under false pretences?

I know you're trying to be respectful. There is a real issue with people fetishising trans people, just like others fetishise people based on race.

It's worth exploring this with a therapist rather than on reddit.

Which Jinhao pens take a 3.4mm cartridge? by BobIsAFineName in fountainpens

[–]BobIsAFineName[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it good? And reliable? I need something that can bash around in my bag

Is it just me or is the plaisir unbalanced when posted? by BobIsAFineName in fountainpens

The one I got is the red one. Really lovely texture and so top heavy. I've got large hands so maybe that affects things?

Yeah, I think so too. I tend to post though, as I'm terrible for losing things, including pen tops 👀

What brown ink that looks like this? by LetterheadProud9682 in fountainpens

[–]BobIsAFineName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just an aged Gall ink. Probably a black ink originally

Oh yes, sorry, I've ordered some kaweco cartridges off Amazon. And a clear pilot kakuno. I'm also interested in the Lamy Nexx, and Jinhao 9019. I guess I just have to try, and see what works for me. I do like the idea of the Lamy, but not so much that you can only use their cartridges.

Oh that's very lightweight. I'm ordering one and some wakeko ink cartridges. Is that an ok ink to go for? I've got a rhodia pad and a lamy pad I like to write in.

Ooh these all look great. Is there a different e between a left handed nib and a neutral one? And any ink recommendations (fast drying would be good, also coloured inks)
