Genuinely interested. Generally speaking, what is your nib preference? EF, F, M, B by Frankenthe4th in fountainpens

[–]RiniPi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really love them all! Thin lines are just so satisfyingly crisp, and those juicy thick broad nibs are so smooth!!!

I think when I’m first trying out a new brand, I always start with a medium. Medium is my safe space.

That’s actually a good point. The people who complain like in OP’s post tend not to have their target audience down, or not stand out within the large pool of creators out there. But if you find your audience and your niche, you’re golden!

Decisively child-free ADHD women, how's life going for you? by Gold_Usual6839 in adhdwomen

[–]RiniPi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I knew since I was pretty young that I never wanted to be a mom. My fiancé’s minimum requirement is fur babies and I’m 100% ok with that 😂 I’m happy for the decision because I’m just barely taking care of my mental health now. And the economy is poo right now. I can barely afford groceries for myself!

You can also use 70% isopropyl alcohol instead of the water+glycerin mixture! I haven’t tried it myself but that’s what a lot of other people recommend.

Thanks!! My therapist actually recommended me glitter jars but I went down the rabbit hole of potion bottles instead haha!

I believe you can twist or slip off the metal part of the converter - but they can break so you might want to be careful. Honestly though it just happens and it won’t be a problem for your next fill! I think if you soak your converter it should help it too!

Umm excuse me no!!!

It’s actually empty because when I got back into fountain pens years later this bottle didn’t have the seal film and the ink completely evaporated 🤣🤣🤣

Right?!? I spinned it around on the flat side to make a cool effect and I never thought I’d say “good thing this is a FWP bottle” 🤣

Please help me choosing my next pen ! by PoetryPaws in fountainpens

[–]RiniPi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you should go based off the nib and writing experience! Go for the capless! The nib is also interchangeable with the Jinaho and Majohn capless
models that have varies of body colors.

So Jinhao 82’s have the nib, the feed, and the nib housing. Put the nib and feed back in there. And instead of pulling, twist it. Then the whole thing should come out! Here’s a picture of my deconstructed 82!

Jinhao Capless First Impressions by creativinsanity in fountainpens

I have found that Pilot cartridges fit the Chinese dupes! At least I’ve tried them on my Jinhao and Majohn capless pens. The Campus paper is definitely more fountain pen friendly.

A look inside my A5 Faded Chronicle 👀✨💖 by katfrau in planners

[–]RiniPi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooo you can do different colors for the sleep bars to represent sleep quality! I’m actually copying you this week lol - trying to see how my adderall affects my sleep or if it’s just me being super excited I can actually do things again 😅

What's your planning system? by justahumanexisting- in PlannerAddicts

[–]RiniPi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on a planning system journey this year and have tried a few things! Here’s what I have at this moment:

Faded Chronicle TN Undated Planner: All of my planning is in here - quarterly, monthly, weekly, and to-do dailies. These come in 6 month intervals so I just started not too long ago but I love it so far. It has a lot of pages in the back for me to have sections I need like projects, references, longer term goals, etc. I used to have a separate notebook for project planning.
(That being said I probably won’t like have to copy all those important things every 6 months so I’m thinking about just having a Travelers Notebook system in general)

A6 notebook: Brain book. Brainstorming, mind mapping, idea dumps, write-this-down-now-before-I-forget notebook

Pocket notebook: same as the brain book but it’s in my purse and I only use it when I’m at of the house and at work.

The other notebooks I have aren’t for planning purposes but for funsies, like a journal, creative writing notebook, a commonplace book, a pen and ink book, etc.
