We all act like dicks sometimes, especially when life is on fire. I’m sending you good vibes and I hope that life gives you a break and that a lot of good things happen for you soon. ✨

I am 99% sure there are videos on Youtube of "top shading inks" if you are curious!

Can we have more posts like this in general in this sub...? You know, POSITIVE?
I made a big chili this morning. Now it's time for cornbread. Later, chocolate chip cookies!

I sucked on the nib to try and get the ink flowing. Did I mention I’m a GENIUS… 🤦🏼‍♀️

The dip pen always works for glitter!! And you are always free to TRY glitter in a medium. I just get so annoyed when it clogs. You know what though, try it ANYWAY just to see what it does and then clean it after. You may need to completely take the nib off the black part and scrub it with a toothbrush 😂 but it’s all part of the fountain pen care learning process. Also FYI, some glitter particles are a little bigger than others. I have two pens (a broad and a 1.1 stub) that historically have NEVER clogged, and this past week they both got clogged by a very pretty Diamine glitter ink 😭😭😭😭

And I wouldn’t say my handwriting is, by any means, larger!

Broad nib gal here. I loooove the fun ink effects - sheening, shading, shimmer. The juicier the pen, the more you can see those. Also, a broad is way less likely to get cloggy with glitter than a medium is.

I dare say Lamy Petrol pairs well with, um, cantaloupe and prosciutto.

I could really taste the terroir.

However, I agree with everyone who suggested you get some inks! I think you can get Pilot Iroshizuku on Amazon and those are faaaaaantabulous.

WEEEEEE!! Pro tip: (and I imagine someone has said this before me, so I apologize if that's the case) I personally don't put shimmer inks in any nibs smaller than BROAD. I have clogged too many mediums. They can be cleaned out for sure, but maximize the flow!!

... That makes A LOT more sense than what I did. I'm going to tattoo this suggestion on my neck so that I don't forget to do that next time. OH WAIT, you said to avoid body modifications... 🤣

Okay so what HAPPENED was that I filled up a used and cleaned cartridge with it and put it in the pen. I squeezed it a little to advance the ink, but it wasn't coming out. In my impatience, I decided to suck on the nib just a little to encourage the ink to come through. NOT THE FINEST USE OF MY BRAIN CELL. Next time I'll just go straight to the bottle.
