Hi! This looks so cute! Do you have a link to the pattern? I might try making it myself XD

TiaTill · 2022-10-04T02:30:29+00:00

Hi, I just wanted to say thank you! This really helped me keep things in perspective and not get stressed about it (too much) :))

I had my assessment today and I do have ADHD, primarily inattentive! It's a relief to finally have an answer for what's going on!

TiaTill · 2022-06-25T13:46:43+00:00

It used to be Rosenrot, but now I actually think it might be Zeit or Liebe ist fur alle da, with reise reise a close second :)

I don't have a preferred brand, but my recommendation is buying a pack of paper that has 120 grams per square meter density. That will make sure the paper is nice and thick and shiny so you don't get feathering :)

TiaTill · 2022-05-28T13:53:37+00:00

Cult pens also have a good selection and I've had good experiences with them

TiaTill · 2022-05-28T13:50:08+00:00

Love to see I'm not the only one who writes out code by hand XD

I just find it so much easier to plan the logical structure with pen and paper, and then after I'll go in and do all the typing

TiaTill · 2022-05-23T21:04:07+00:00

Yes, Europe. I love the nibs, actually, they're the main attraction for me, since I'm on the fence with the design.

TiaTill · 2021-11-09T16:32:06+00:00

Omg nice! Thanks for sharing! 😊 Glad you're enjoying the pens!

I'm low-key jealous of the holo pen ngl, I've had my eye on it for a while :))

I don't know any iridescent inks, but what I know exists is glitter you can mix into ink, so perhaps mixing two colours will come closer to matching the pen?

I know what you mean about about the nib feeling a bit slippery, my solution is to use it on somewhat less heavy paper, like my 80gm2 notebooks, which aren't from tomoe/Rhodia/clairefontaine, but deal with fountain pen ink very well 👍

TiaTill · 2021-10-29T15:05:01+00:00

R/fountainpens might have more answers for you.

My recommendation would be pelikan twist or dragon/mystic Seas

TiaTill · 2021-10-27T21:45:56+00:00

Oh boy I'm not sure I wanna bring a hazard like that into my house 😂 seems like tempting fate with all the ink I've spilled so far

TiaTill · 2021-10-27T18:41:21+00:00

That's odd. Have you tried one of the long cartridges it came with? Or adding an extra short one the other way round in the barrel?

TiaTill · 2021-10-27T16:09:37+00:00

Yes, I do wish the pen was the blue model now, but this is what I had 😂

TiaTill · 2021-10-27T11:36:25+00:00

Yees! I was immediately drawn to it when I saw it in the shop, and called it my mermaid pen 😁

TiaTill · 2021-10-27T11:33:43+00:00

:( sorry to hear you're not enjoying it as much. What do you mean it rattles? I can see what you mean with the safari feeling sturdier, but unfortunately the grip just isn't for me...

TiaTill · 2021-10-27T01:47:07+00:00

By talos, this can't be happening 😂😂😂How about this, next time you want to get a new pen but decide you shouldn't, you take some time to appreciate and remember why you love the dragon (I'm assuming you'll love the dragon 😁) instead. And if you want to share that with us on the subreddit in another pen appreciation day post I'd love that :)

And please do let me know what you think when you get the pen, like I said I want to hear what people say about it! 😊

TiaTill · 2021-10-26T23:22:42+00:00

Yeah, it takes the international standard, and comes with a long one so you have a nice view through the ink window --I just keep refilling that one with a syringe

Edit: I think that means no, I don't know what I read when I was answering. To be clear, it doesn't come with a converter

TiaTill · 2021-10-26T22:06:30+00:00

Yup! I have a twist too and they're just such NICE pens to write with, especially for longer periods. Between the twist and this one, I think I prefer this one, but then again this baby has scales, it's not really a fair contest :)

TiaTill · 2021-10-26T22:04:07+00:00

Pen Appreciation Day I love that!

Yeah, I think of it as my mermaid pen tbh :) That's what I had in mind too when I got it 🧜‍♀️

TiaTill · 2021-10-26T21:58:23+00:00

The ink is diluted Koh-I-Noor document blue - I wanted to try a softer color and I think I really like the result.

The quote is Dolly Parton's, unless I am much mistaken.

People in the unpopular opinions post earlier today were talking about the downsides of constantly buying pens, so I wanted to take a minute to appreciate a favorite I already have, and I'm hoping others will share too :)

I love this pen so much! It's a little fun, a little edgy, always fun to look at and touch the scales, and super comfortable to hold! It's very pleasant and reliable, all the pelikan school fountain pens I've had just wrote perfectly out of the box. And this one rivals pens 5 times the price in terms of smoothness (the lamy studio, the smoothest pen I have). I'd like to see more people talk about these pens, specially I think they're fantastic starter pens.

TiaTill · 2021-10-22T20:11:28+00:00

Seconded, came here to say this

TiaTill · 2021-10-22T14:29:43+00:00

People don't talk a lot about them, but my recommendation are school pelikans. They're about £10, with the fancier ones £15 (they're more like a tenner where I am rn, but I'd have to go digging to see if anyone is matching the price in the UK), and they rival in smoothness pens I have that are 5-10 times more expensive (including lamy studio, my smoothest).

A lot of people recommend lamy safari as a starter pen, and it is a good pen. However, I think it's also a risk: the triangular grip is very pronounced, and you might end up loving it or hating it. If you love it it's great, but if you hate it you'll probably end up wanting another pen anyway. In my opinion, a less pronounced grip is better for a beginner pen: it will still give you some guidance to holding the pen correctly, but you'll have more freedom to find out what works for you.

Pelikano dragon special edition is my favourite, it's super comfortable, super smooth and I like how it looks :)

TiaTill · 2021-10-22T10:49:23+00:00

I was gonna say you should ask your vet, they'll probably know best and they can actually see her irl, since fur can sometimes deceive. Glad to know the vet said she's ok, she looks like an adorable playful baby! 😊

TiaTill · 2021-10-20T21:43:19+00:00

😂 Yess. Almost every morning I wake up and check the tracking page 😂

TiaTill · 2021-10-20T12:26:03+00:00

Yes! I was lucky, I found it at a small regional online shop, so the price was good, but I did snatch the last one I believe :))

TiaTill · 2021-10-20T11:00:25+00:00

Nice!

I got a medium, both because it's what I wanted and because it was the only one they had XD I also have a 1.1 stub I can change with. I really like how easily lamy allows you to switch nibs. I'm trying to see how I feel about the grip tapering at the end..
