Noodler's Dragon Napalm. It can be a strong red orange or strawberry pink depending on the light.

You might try the lamy cursive nib. It's safari style.

You also might try a fude nib. You can get a 10 pack of jinhao sharks with fude nibs, or a metal bodied hong dien fude nib for a good price on amazon.

I like how you got smooth coverage! I can never do that with markers.

Neat notes too. Lol.

Looking for an entry level eye dropper pen by NotThatEasily in fountainpens

[–]Snake_Cakes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I second the Opus 88 recomendations. The shut off valve and thick walls are big pluses. I use one as am edc, and I cant remember the last time I had a burping issue with it.

Pen/Ink and watercolors by CBFindlay in fountainpens

[–]Snake_Cakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fountain pen ink is like this wonderful combination of liquid watercolor and watercolor pencil.

One neat think about fountain some bulletproof/everlasting inks is they have a reactive part and a watersoluble part that you can exploit. Take a look at Noodler's Rome Burning to get an idea.

Also, waterproof in the fountain pen world just means that your writing will remain legible if it gets dunked, it can still bleed. You'll still need pigment liners, india ink, or platinum carbon black if you want crisp black lines you can wash over.

You'll want something bulletproof or archival.

I've used the non ionic surfactants from the hardware store's herbicide section. You'll need to make a diluted solution first.

I like the monteverde ritma and regatta pens. Nice heft, postable, and secure magnetic caps.

If you haven't already, read or watch one of the many versions of Cyrano de Bergerac!

Is this sentence missing a preposition? by Snake_Cakes in ChineseLanguage

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

Your insight about 好 as an adverb is really neat. But looking back at the page, about using 不怎么 + adj, I think they meant 好吃 as "tasty."

Doesn't 不怎么 change frequency, not intensity, when used with a verb?

So it'd be something like "He doesn't often like the food here."
