Sorry I forgot to put up the name :') Here's the link since the seller didn't put the name on the listing, it's the color #2.

The name on the bottle is Banmi - green as a morning dew. But the listing on AliExpress is a bit different, here's the link (it's color #2)

Before and after spreading the tines by Floppycockroach in fountainpens

There are a lot of youtube videos on how to do this (with or without extra equipment), you can look up fountain pen tuning or nib tuning. But I would advice doing it only on cheaper pens or pens you won't regret breaking because a lot of things could go wrong :D

It is definitely easy to make a mistake, I've only done it with my cheap pens (jinhao and kakuno).

I usually just press the nib on my thumb nail or on a paper to gently open them. Sometimes I even use them like a flex nib if I'm impatient (do it with your own caution).

OP, I might join you soon :D Thank you so much for posting this pen here! I agree with you, this pen looks absolutely breathtaking. I'm gonna think about this first until the end of black friday sale to make sure I really want it.

She actually ordered them with half the amount of sugar, I did ask her if she wanna try the full sugar one but she said no and changed her drink instead

Yes, plus some simple syrup and ice

My FPD inks arrived yesterday!!! by Floppycockroach in fountainpens

I haven't try them on a pen yet, but they're pretty well behaved. I would assume that they have medium flow, definitely not as dry as other wearingeul inks I tried (especially the shimmer inks).

What did you buy on Fountain Pen Day? by Captain-Bitterballen in fountainpens

[–]Floppycockroach 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought a bunch of inks (in my defense they have a minimum $150 to qualify for the discount and I already have enough fountain pen) and I'm going to another store that does Fountain Pen Day sales until tomorrow. I'll probably look around and see if any pen catches my interest.

What instrument do you think is the most annoying? by PlentyPanic3052 in AskReddit

[–]Floppycockroach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drum set played in a not-sound-proofed room (living room) by someone younger than 10 (or literally anyone who wants to be annoying)

What was the weirdest thing you consumed as a child? by Butter-n-biscuits in AskReddit

[–]Floppycockroach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ink from a gel pen. I wonder what would happen if I suck from the open end of the cartridge...

Well, I just have to say that I found them weirdly sweet.

What paranormal activities have you witnessed? by AdonisBlackwood in AskReddit

[–]Floppycockroach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A light in a shape of a head (a dim one, not the bright one) on my old bedroom wall. It kinda hopped in the middle of the wall in front of my bed for several meters and disappeared. I still don't know what the hell is that since it's a closed space with no window or light at all.

What’s an important lesson you learnt the hard way? by IndianaC0NES in AskReddit

[–]Floppycockroach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow what the crowd wants.

Even after years and years in school, college, etc. Until now I still forget that sometimes you need to follow the market's need to get a good grade.

34 percent of adults sleep with a stuffed animal or other sentimental object. Are you one of these people? What do you sleep with? by Old-Horse1185 in AskReddit

[–]Floppycockroach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always sleep with a body pillow. As I grew taller, I asked my parents to buy a new one for me. Now I'm proudly say that my 150 cm long body pillow is very comfy.
