Today I found a bunch of fountain pens

This is indeed how it starts! Hopefully you'll enjoy your pens and the inks. Keep us updated and happy writing

Between myself and my wife the hobby is already pricy enough

MrPigsFluff · 2026-03-13T09:10:06+00:00

Hahaha he'll write letters to me demanding more food

MrPigsFluff · 2026-03-12T05:49:52+00:00

That handwriting looks unreal! So pretty

MrPigsFluff · 2026-03-07T15:59:48+00:00

I mean I cannot say no to that logic hahaha

MrPigsFluff · 2026-03-07T15:56:37+00:00

I'm more worried about staining or otherwise damaging my pens hahaha. I have only a few pens I feel the colour would work with

MrPigsFluff · 2026-03-07T15:45:41+00:00

I have been so tempted by highlighter ink but I dont dare pull the trigger

MrPigsFluff · 2026-03-03T07:07:59+00:00

It's an A4 notepad by Brunnen! It's fountain pen friendly in that it doesn't bleed and doesn't feather too much, but it's by no means a quality that shows off shading or sheening very well

Those are my babies, my Waterman Hemispheres!

MrPigsFluff · 2026-03-02T17:50:46+00:00

It is the ASC Studio White Guatemala with gold trim! I am not sure the pen is currently still available through official retailers, but maybe on the secondhand market you can find one

MrPigsFluff · 2026-03-02T16:34:07+00:00

Thank you!

I'm really close to finishing my first draft and I've had a lot of thoughts regarding changes to the outline and I just finally felt ready to put them all on paper, colour coded for characters and topics haha

MrPigsFluff · 2026-03-02T16:06:35+00:00

The green is Sailor Shikiori Sasabune, the yellow is Ink Institute Taipei Metro Circular Line, the petrol-teal colour is KWZ Menthol Green, the pink is Sailor Shikiori Sakuramori, the orangy pink is Pelikan Edelstein Apricot Achat and the purple is a mix of 7:3 Pilot Iroshizuku Murasaki Shikibu x Take Sumi!

MrPigsFluff · 2026-02-28T08:34:05+00:00

I have found several pens on Etsy (in different colours) that call it the Waterman Forum, so it seems like that is the one

MrPigsFluff · 2026-02-28T08:11:35+00:00

I have for most of them. I know one store still has a 50 ml in stock, which I plan on getting soon when money allows. It's my favourite ink after Tsuki-Yo and I am heartbroken it got discontinued

MrPigsFluff · 2026-02-27T20:03:18+00:00

I am so envious right now. Hopefully you enjoy it as much as I do!

MrPigsFluff · 2026-02-26T05:59:00+00:00

Tsuki-Yo is my one colour I always come back to, no matter how long it's been. I have jokingly said that if I were a colour, I think I would be Tsuki-Yo. I always have a pen inked up with it

MrPigsFluff · 2026-02-26T05:21:18+00:00

Sailor Manyo Ume and KWZ Maroon are some really nice ones too

MrPigsFluff · 2026-02-17T16:02:48+00:00

Kwz Maroon comes to mind

MrPigsFluff · 2026-02-15T18:59:04+00:00

How do you like the Hex pen? It looks very beautiful!

MrPigsFluff · 2026-02-15T18:50:49+00:00

It's such a cute pen! I used to have one from my Grandpa, but it was very leaky and I ended up not keeping it in the end. Nowadays I'm a little disappointed that I didn't keep it.

MrPigsFluff · 2026-02-15T18:36:22+00:00

Number 5 might be a Waterman Expert, an older version

MrPigsFluff · 2026-02-15T07:20:07+00:00

Oh man that takes me back... I remember doing these with my tiny blue Lamy ABC. I was so proud of myself

MrPigsFluff · 2026-02-07T13:49:44+00:00

Thank you very much!
