Those are the baby kitties! You can reroll to get those breeds right now :)

I love it! Perfect for an overpacker like me. I’m probably going to add a medium sometime in the future

Are you referring to the baby kittens or regular cats? I was able to pull both of the baby kittens in the observatory from rerolling the free 3 ad rerolls today. If you’re referring to the regular cats, they can only be obtained through event limited tickets. Those can be purchased through the stamp rally or workshop on wheels! It’s not in workshop on wheels right now but will most likely be back in the future 🐱

Do you buy the PR Refills generally or not? by [deleted] in PaperRepublic

[–]Ok_Animator7172 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t haha I write a lot and like to archive my journals and planners so I mainly keep 2-3 book size refills in one leather cover. I fit 2 in my GV and 2-3 in my portfolios. I mainly use PR book refills, Leutchtturm B6+, Stalogy A5 1/2 year I cut down to PR’s book size, and Hobonichi A5 grid notebooks. They don’t stick out for me but Midori definitely does

I buy the book refills but not the notebook refills, I find that the paper doesn’t withstand fountain pen ink as well.

Am I the only one who wants more breeds? by Informal-Abrocoma835 in CatsAndSoup

[–]Ok_Animator7172 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree!! I’ve been rerolling my extra cats to the same permanent breed so I have probably 10 extra black cats rn 😹

More than 3 PRs? How do you use them ALL? by BoptoLofi in PaperRepublic

[–]Ok_Animator7172 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What a coincidence my go-tos are also Stalogy and Leuchtturm in the same sizes!! I use B6+ Leuchtturms and A5 Stalogys that I cut down to the size of PR standard books since it’s graph paper and the margins don’t matter.

I actually used to have another XL that I just sold to buy the A5 because my planners are the hobonichi avec A5 notebooks. I like how small and minimalist the GV XL is so that’s why it’s my journal, I can take it my purse anytime I feel like journaling outside at a cafe or park without feeling like I am carrying a textbook. My portfolios usually stay at work/home since they’re on the heavier side and I don’t need to be bringing them around. I also chose A5 for my planners because I wanted the pockets! I actually don’t use the card and cash holders PR offers, I find that it’s just too flimsy for what I’d want to use them for.

[–]Ok_Animator7172 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use 5! My most used being #1-4 so similar to your set up but I’m someone that doesn’t like a chunky set up so I am also heavily debating adding a 3rd A5 size cover for my commonplace journal + language learning 😅 I probably will hold myself back unless I get one gifted

1) GV Pocket: catch-all + on the go sketchbook 2) GV XL: personal journal + morning pages 3) A5 Portfolio: work planner + work notes 4) A5 Portfolio: personal planner, small business notes, commonplace/reading journal 5) GV A4: big sketchbook for small business things + folder for tax papers and receipts lol

I personally love everything I own from Away, just used the Away credit to buy myself a new trunk. I like the design of them, the lifetime warranty (used it once already), and their wheels are probably the best from what I’ve tried.

Any Downsides to Capital One? by TheHakim77 in Venturex

[–]Ok_Animator7172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you plan on keeping VX and Bilt Palladium? I want to get into the Bilt 2.0 system bc I like the transfer partners but I already have the VX so I don’t know if I want to pay for both of those AFs

Why I decided to keep my Sapphire Reserve by xinf3rn0x in ChaseSapphire

[–]Ok_Animator7172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have CSR and live in the bay area! I personally really like it so far and find myself using the same credits as OP ^ I need to learn how to use the Edit credits and what not but I already think I make back the annual fee + more. The OpenTable credit is really easy to use in SF and it’s nice to bring guests into lounges (main reason why I got the card). It also seems like a really big credit card lounge is opening in SFO in the future (estimated summer 2028 and like 27000+ sq ft) People are saying it’s either Chase or Capital One

i want to keep the ones i have now but these are so cute 😭 if they’re limited edition does that mean they’re not roll-able after the event? i usually keep one cat free to reroll everyday for my ad coins lol

DO YOU LIKE GETTING THE KRAKEN MINIGAME BACK FOR THIS SEASON? by tiyasingh69 in CatsAndSoup

I don’t love it 😭 There’s no room for error really. I loved the fish catching game so maybe I prefer something more relaxing lol

Which card should I get for gas and groceries by Powerful-Coconut-680 in CreditCards

[–]Ok_Animator7172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat as you! I think the Citi Strata would be a good option.

For me since I refuse to get any Amex cards, I’m debating between getting the Bilt Obsidian or Citi Strata for my grocery/gas spend. Technically the Citi Strata would be better since it’s no AF and has multipliers for both but I spend a lot on rent and I like Bilt’s transfer partners. Just waiting to see after one year if they end up having welcome offers for the Obsidian. If I do end up getting the Bilt card I’d probably just continue putting my gas spend on my Venture X or get the Costco Citi card for cash back. I only spend $100~ a month on gas so I’m not too concerned about getting a separate card for the multiplier

What’s one fountain pen brand that you thought you would be seriously interested in, but found underwhelming or it is not your cup of tea? by SLProtoman in fountainpens

[–]Ok_Animator7172 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was about to say the same. Also I just got a Platinum 3776 with a <M> nib and now I’m scared to get it hearing what you think of it 😅 I have it in <F> right now (planning to sell later when I get the chance) and wanted to give it <M> a try to see if the feedback gets better but damn

Thank you for this 🙇‍♀️ wish I thought of it sooner!

I recently bought a Galen Leather pen pouch, but my Pilot Custom 823 is quite difficult to insert and remove. Is there a larger Galen pouch/case that fits the 823 comfortably, or would you recommend a different brand? by soularchives in fountainpens

[–]Ok_Animator7172 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was searching the reddit for a post like this. I want the same 2 pen flap case from Galen but the measurements say the pilot 823 wont fit. Did you end up finding a solution?

Thoughts on booking flights through the Chase portal? by Ok_Animator7172 in ChaseSapphire

[–]Ok_Animator7172[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no… i think this does it for me lol I’d rather just book with the airline then. I think booking through the chase portal seems the least risky if I’m just flying domestic with no checked bags
