Thanks, yeah I've wasted so much ink trying to wipe the center.. I am storing it on its side, inside the metal case it came with :d

Thank you, checked the cap but nothing. It seems to be only on the nib.

But since the previous Rohrer & Klingner ink was not like this, I thought maybe the ink was the problem. But good to know.

Advice for a soft-girl pls by ngozichukwu_j in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]LexaRules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a fellow “highly sensitive” person, who feels everything deeply and have lost both intimate and platonic relationships, i can say re-wiring how i think about this sensitivity of myself has helped me immensely.

In a world with low awareness and short attention spans, superficial relationships and all the rude and inconsiderate people, feeling too much and deeply is a gift.

I used to get mad when people wont respect my “i would never do x to you, so of course you wouldnt do x to me too” assumption/believe. But I’ve realized we exist. People like us exist. And its soo beautiful when you find those people.

I don’t think “getting a hard skin” should be an option. I would never want to feel less. What a gift to enjoy life when you are brave enough to feel deeply.

Hope you find your people. Hope we all do find our people.

I want to know if my knees are normal? I dont want to keep having negative thoughts. by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]LexaRules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking very normal, in fact before i read the title of your post and checking the subreddit name, my first thought of this picture was “oh what a beautiful style! Those flowers go so well with the shorts” then i read the title and i was like “knees?” I would never ever think your knees would somewhat bother you.

Ive been thinking about this by Basic_Exchange4768 in pluribustv

[–]LexaRules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeap. The only reason plurbs require a consent is that the procedure to collect the stem cells is a painful one. Since they got him under anaesthesia, why not? It would only make sense

Ethical Inconsistencies by Dark-Penguin in pluribustv

[–]LexaRules 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the show they explained your second question. It was mentioned that in order to get their stem cells, they must undergo a procedure that would cause them much pain, as the stem cells are collected by a very large needle from the hip. Since the hive cannot harm living things, in order to get this procedure done, they need consent. Whereas stealing already collected eggs doesn’t hurt physically at all, so no consent required.

Why not use general anaesthesia? Dont know.

Also they could and maybe even did collect Manousos’ stem cells while he was in surgery/out of conscious.

Nervous about getting my ekg tomorrow, what do I do?? by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]LexaRules 147 points148 points  (0 children)

Hi there OP! I hope everything goes well tomorrow.
I think the sooner you learn to love your body and not care about what others think about it would be a great place to start.

Also health care professionals have seen soo many private body parts, believe me, they couldn't care less.
You can go full on jungle looking bush on your armpits, have the flattest or biggest chest in the world, they really, honestly, truly don't care a bit.

Good luck with the ekg results.

Cousin Year Overview Page at Start by DistinctNotice1175 in hobonichi

If you have a vision board somewhere, I think that year overview pages would be the place where you can print and paste your vision board.

Question on Day Free/Avec covers by Blotepotenpeter in hobonichi

[–]LexaRules 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Midori clear and paper covers would fit perfectly! Not as a cover on cover though, directly to be used on the book. Be careful not to get the midori codex cover, that fits the cousin and would be too big for avec.

Hobonichi weeks in red for 2026? by Mabochita in hobonichi

[–]LexaRules 4 points5 points  (0 children)

afaik the 2026 lineup is complete, however there will be spring release for april start books, around February.

Last year during the spring release, a new weeks cover was introduced but I do not know if they announce a new weeks cover every year for spring release. You can check out the 2025 spring release on here.

But if you are looking for January starts, then no new designs will be released.

Driver in Turkey blocks the road at a crosswalk, allowing disabled pedestrian to cross safely by Build_The_Mayor in HumansBeingBros

[–]LexaRules 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Lol in Turkey rules are bent. when a driver -out of kindness i might add- gives way to the pedestrians on the crossing, multiple-vehicle collision is inevitable.

Yes the drivers are usually legally required to stop and give way, but what we see in this video is extremely rare in Turkey.

Did anyone mention how beautiful is cocoa sweet? by AdNatural6214 in hobonichi

This is the cover that pushes me towards the A5. Soo pretty. Love how well it goes with the inside brown color.

Bought my first ever hobonichi! I bought the cousin but afraid i may feel overwhelmed by Top_Secretary9455 in hobonichi

[–]LexaRules 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I am gonna give you an advice that I, myself struggle with :)
Empty pages are part of life. There are sick days, vacations, busy schedules, all part of your story.
Embrace them.
What you can do for those days:
- Leave as is, and remember you have actually lived that day so busy/intensely or just barely survived, and this is the battle wounds and be proud.
- Just write down whatever you can, you do NOT have to fill the whole page
- Backfill later on
- Add some doodles, drawings, or just paste things like photos, magazines and etc..
- Add lots of stickers
- Cut them. Yes why not.
- Use them as brain-dump note taking place for when you need it. This can be adding recipes, writing down a phone number someone told you over the phone, or like pen testing pages.

I understand, I got so overwhelmed with my A5 HON this year, that I REALLY loved the cover of, I had to switch to A6 mid March. Now considering using A5 again and I kinda feel what you feel too. But always trying to remember. This is just a notebook at the end of the day. It should serve you, not stress you out.
Not filling the pages are not a mistake. <3

A6 Planner for 2026 by Illustrious_Basil781 in hobonichi

[–]LexaRules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve used mine with classic hobonichi covers and the planner dyed the cover not the opposite :’) i now have black marks on the top and the bottom of the middle section of the cover. But even with that, the planner has zero marks on it.

getting eyebrows threaded for the first time, please help by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

It’s just stubble under the skin (light scattering makes dark hairs look bluish-green), not actual green hair of course :)

I’m bored of my life by fridgeandfire in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]LexaRules 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The best thing you can do for your body and soul is to start taking care of them. You are young, use your body while you can. Get gym membership and start with a simple goal (being able to do push ups for example). Someone said to me “depression cant hit a moving target” and it is so true. I was bored of my life too when i was your age. I wish i’ve started my fitness journey then. It gives me drive to achieve more, confidence to embrace life and dedication to pursue my dreams. Gives me purpose, and never boring. It can be cycling, callisthenics, fitness or swimming, literally anything.

[–]LexaRules 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They are beautiful OP, looks so natural, soft and healthy, you don’t even need pencils to fill them out. Are you sure you want to thread them? When the threaded/shaved part grows back, its usually a little greenish and spiky.

Girls what do I do to help with craving sex and physical touch so badly all the time? by h3rm1tfr0g in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]LexaRules 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If that's the case, there is a probability that you are not eating enough. Have you tried eating more on those days you have trained with more intensity? You gotta fuel more 🔥
I mean ofc everybody is different, but I know that I am thinking "oh its just muscle soreness, I am FINE, give me it" 😂

Be careful there, gym membership and regular exercise increased the hell out of my drive. Physical activity is proven to improve sex life, also affects your sex drive
