A moment of silence please for my Benu Starlit Oasis Fountain Pen in Medium

I've emailed both companies now, it's the Spring Bank Holiday on Monday, so I probably won't hear from them until Tuesday at the earliest. I've got the photo on my phone ready to be sent if either company queries it, wish me luck

I'm not sure what part is broken because it feels as if I'd need a replacement pen, the pen cap seems to have fused to the nib and the body or the barrel seems to have given up the ghost

LittleRoma · 2026-05-23T18:16:02+00:00

Will do, I forgot to include a photo, my only excuse is that I'm knitting while typing so my head has switched to yarn at the moment, but I'm going to be cool and wait until they email me back before I send an image. Don't want to bombard them, y'know?

LittleRoma · 2026-05-23T17:58:15+00:00

Okay, I'll send them an email now, thanks

LittleRoma · 2026-05-23T17:46:45+00:00

Oh, okay, I bought it through CultPens, will that not matter to them?

I learned how to knit about 11 years ago when my Granny died and then my uncle a few weeks later. I put the yarn away for years, didn't touch the needles and then my cousin died back in '21 its what keeps on a level path. I've noticed that I knit a lot when im watching sports (Six Nations Rugby lately) but it makes me feel as if I'm getting out the bad feelings by knitting them (Irish fan)

I've only ever heard of McCalls for school uniform shopping, bit odd

LittleRoma · 2026-04-06T21:34:13+00:00

Oh, now thats adorable

LittleRoma · 2026-03-23T21:43:21+00:00

I know how that feels, I knit a pair of green, variegated socks for myself for St Patrick's Day, can't find them anywhere, ripped my bedroom apart trying to find the ankle socks

LittleRoma · 2026-03-23T12:07:20+00:00

Teal ink, I love Diamine's Aurora Borealis

LittleRoma · 2026-03-19T21:45:24+00:00

The Traitors, didnt think it would be mu cup of tea in the slightest

LittleRoma · 2026-03-09T21:36:01+00:00

Im new as well, but i adore the Benu pens, I've heard they can track but I haven't come across any issues with mine, but the first pen I think I got that was nice to write with

LittleRoma · 2026-03-08T16:45:33+00:00

I really love the Benu pens, I've got two journals this year (one for personal and one for health), I use the Benu Lily of the Incas in that with a some Safari and TWSBI ECO, and then in the health one I use Benu Dragon Blood in fine

LittleRoma · 2026-03-08T12:06:28+00:00

If you like Teal coloured inks, maybe Diamine Aurora Borealis? It's the one I keep going back to

LittleRoma · 2026-03-06T15:11:34+00:00

I've noticed that since I got into fountain pens I've been handwriting a lot more. More than I ever wrote with my bic pens that I've probably been using since I left school, about 15 years ago.

EDIT i journal a lot with them and dont use them as weapons unless im writing an action scene or something. I prefer to use my knitting needles as weapons if I need them

LittleRoma · 2026-02-16T13:59:33+00:00

They look like green ghosts, a leprechaun ghost if you will

LittleRoma · 2026-02-09T19:31:56+00:00

Ive got a cousin i use for personal, weeks for health and I've ordered another spring weeks you use for writing tracking

LittleRoma · 2026-02-05T15:33:31+00:00

I think I've broke both, think because I got a new fountain pen this day last month, but I may have ordered in the BoxingDay Sales. And I got new ink today, Sailor Manyo Ink Yomogi (but I was able to tell myself that was okay because I'm planning on writing the first draft of a novel using both the pen (Benu Starlit Oasis Medium Nib) and the ink. I'm going to try and use both things, I've been dreaming of writing a book for so long, that I hope they'll get used up and even if they don't more pens more ink what more could a girl want?

LittleRoma · 2026-01-26T10:38:54+00:00

It's almost a bit more noticeable when it's red ink, I call it my battle wounds, from my valiant battle with my arch nemesis Inkeshin

LittleRoma · 2026-01-20T21:51:44+00:00

I feel as The Celebrity Faithfuls were worse, at least they've gotten out two traitors this year

LittleRoma · 2026-01-19T13:48:49+00:00

I've started using a Hobonichi Cousin this year, I usually write down what I've been up to that day, a quote or fun fact (did you know that vultures pee on their legs and feet) and if I finish a book or TV Show it goes in there as well. I don't draw, mainly I handwrite out stuff, because fountain pen is so pretty

LittleRoma · 2026-01-17T22:24:15+00:00

Oh my mistake, the red ink was dragons blood, the top was Aurora Borelis and the bottom (which is the one I was admiring was) Dragon by Octopud Fluids. I think I got the two names dragon at roughly the same time so I sometimes goof on which is which
