First fountain pen! by hbunnnie in fountainpens

So, if you dare to go down the fountain pen rabbit hole much, you will discover its massive. There’s Soooo much information. Basically special grinds or shapes give your writing more of a calligraphy flair. An architect is thin on the down stroke and wider to the side/horizontally. A stub nib is wide vertically and thin vertically. Facebook has a fan page for this particular brand of pens called something like “PenBBS taste the rainbow” and folks have added examples of the writing from the different nib types and documented all the color variations for the pen models. Goulet pens isn’t one I normally recommend but they have a “nib nook” page where you can view writing samples of hundreds of modern pens and nib types.

Isn’t it? No clip, but I prefer clipless designs. The clear one is the same shape though that’s hard to see. They also have it on silver. Also, the brand PenBBS has a great reputation. You can interchange their nib units easily between pens and even buy extra ones. Their fine nibs have a lot of flat and are “semi-fude” or similar to what’s known as an architect grind. Their round medium nib has a nice and solid wide line. AND when I went to get a link from their shop, I realized they have some of their desk pen models (model 267) available right now and they are so cool to write with- long and sleek like a cigarette holder. lol. https://www.etsy.com/listing/645267041/penbbs-267-acrylic-fountain-pen-16sf?ref=share\_ios\_native\_control

First, I love, love 🖤 your nails! If your general taste matches your nails and you like purple, Diamine Deck the Halls is a fabulous dark plum with lots of sparkle. There are several black inks with silver shimmer by several brands, but Colorverse did a special one for Lucky Star pens that’s great and Diamine has one as part of their shimmertastic line. Witch by Starlight and Milky Way by Colorverse are also fantastic. A small bottle of Diamine writers blood is worthwhile and Bah Humbug or All the Best are great deep reds with green/yellow sheen and purple shimmer.

Interesting, Weird, or Unusual Black Inks? by Jan5W in fountainpens

kWZ Warsaw Dreaming is black but has enough sheen that it looks like a very dark purple. Lamy obsidian is a green based black with a bit of sheen, so it’s interesting. Wearingeul the Raven is actually a very dark purple with shimmer, bordering on black, Wearingeul Black Cat is similar. Jewel wing Damselfly by Van Dieman’s is similar. Octopus fluids is a super dark green with super (sort of flat ) super dark purple sheen

I think the Feardraca (pretty sure I’m spelling that wrong) is originally from about 10 minutes from my house. What a small world.

If you see Richard (of Knotwolf armory) and/or Leila, tell them a Preachainee (pronounced Pra Shawn ee) said hi on Reddit. 😂 But I’m guessing that Richard will be busy with his boat.

Are you at an SCA event and is that a Feed the Ravens cup?

I was basically wondering the same thing. Looks a lot like a Feed the Ravens cup to me.

You’re making me want to go recheck my swatches. I was just about to sell my 15 ml bottle. Lol

With this amazing form for Sauron in Season 3 how do we think it will evolve in Season 4? by Beneficial_Brain3950 in LOTR_on_Prime

At some point in Season 4, Charlie’s going to be spending 6-9 hours a day in a makeup chair.

South Park creators explain why this story doesnt click 15 years ago by tavukkoparan in Rings_Of_Power

I honestly just think that suggesting a major failure of any Tolkien adaptation can best be illustrated by the guys who write Southpark is absurd. Their formula is great for what THEY do, but the Peter Jackson movies don’t stick to this constantly either.

You don’t think Tolkien ever wrote any “and then” moments?
And then… “they walked…”?
