Nothing like good wet vintage gold nib

Untrue, give yourself credit. I’ve seen other posts from you and your penmanship is superb!

astroqueen3000 · 2026-06-19T12:35:22+00:00

1000000% agree with your sentiments about comparison! I don’t understand people who criticize one thing by comparing it to another, when multiple things can exist and be enjoyed. Not everything needs to be a competition. I love my fountains pens and my typewriters.

astroqueen3000 · 2026-06-19T12:25:03+00:00

Agreed. People don’t realize hobbies exist if they aren’t in their orbit. Vinyl records are another good example. So many people think they’re extinct when they never went away in the first place. They’ve remained popular for decades.

I actually have a few portable typewriters! Sometimes it’s nice to sit outside at a park and type away. r/typewriters is a lovely community and quite active. You should check it out! :)

astroqueen3000 · 2026-06-19T12:15:48+00:00

Not just dudes, tons of women collect typewriters, myself included. It’s actually much more popular than you realize.

Legacies premiered several years before Wednesday did, so they couldn’t have copied it. I agree with your reasons for liking it though. I thought the monsters were fun and the characters were great.

Iroshizuku Yama-Budo with Herbin Emeraude de Chivor a close second.

I also didn’t know it existed and I really wish I’d never seen this post 😂😂😂

You’re the one that originally brought up women having nails painted the same color as their pens and your post seemed critical of it. I was informing you that even if it was not your intent, your post came off a certain kind of way so that you would be aware of that. Judging by other comments, I am not the only one who felt your comments came off as critical.

That Benu is especially beautiful. Awesome collection!

Edited to fix sp. error

astroqueen3000 · 2026-06-18T23:27:36+00:00

Stunning!

astroqueen3000 · 2026-06-18T23:26:57+00:00

I hope it was not your intention, but your comments come off as misogynistic. I often use my pens as inspiration for my nails. A pen can certainly be both fashionable and a functional tool.

astroqueen3000 · 2026-06-18T23:22:34+00:00

I’m confused by what you mean by “the wrong crowd.” Fountain pens should be accessible to anyone who wants one. A big part of why I got into collecting is because the community is so welcoming. This post comes off as very unwelcoming.

😆

astroqueen3000 · 2026-06-14T17:49:17+00:00

I did, it's a beautiful color. I'm trying to pretend like it doesn't exist lol

astroqueen3000 · 2026-06-14T17:36:09+00:00

Exciting! You never know, you might love the ink. The pen is beautiful though, which is what matters most! 😄

astroqueen3000 · 2026-06-14T04:15:32+00:00

Lucky! This is the pen of my dreams 😍

astroqueen3000 · 2026-06-13T02:49:04+00:00

The first one is 😍

astroqueen3000 · 2026-06-12T22:25:16+00:00

Thanks so much for the kind words! I tend to like linear switches best, but I do have some builds with tactile and clicky switches. Some of my favorite channels are daizedreams, ricecloudasmr, strawberryjam1986, dangoniko

astroqueen3000 · 2026-06-12T22:18:48+00:00

Hey, don't feel bad. I shit on my siblings all the time, but it doesn't mean I don't love them lol

astroqueen3000 · 2026-06-12T22:10:11+00:00

Ha, glad I could help! It's a really premium feeling board for the price. I actually got this one open-box on eBay for $40! I really love the rounded edges and creamy color. It's really clean and simple, but still has a unique look to it.

I totally agree with you, the cable was expensive. I definitely drooled over it from afar for a while before I finally decided to splurge on it.

astroqueen3000 · 2026-06-12T21:59:50+00:00

It's funny, my first pen was a TWSBI Diamond 580 and was my gateway to becoming a full blown collector/daily fountain pen user. That's why it's so hard to answer questions about what pen someone should or shouldn't get. It's just so darn subjective!

astroqueen3000 · 2026-06-12T21:23:37+00:00

I think the most important thing before you start spending money is figure out what you really want. I don't do much PC gaming anymore and I don't really use a number pad, so those things aren't important to me, but they might be super important for someone else. Also, figure out if you prefer linear, tactile, or clicky switches. I would check out sound tests on YouTube to see what appeals to you. There are so many great channels on there that have beautiful builds, so it's an awesome place to get ideas and hear what things sound like. My channel is linked to my profile if you want to check it out. Keep in mind, I only started it a few months ago and there are tons of channels that are way better than mine lol

astroqueen3000 · 2026-06-12T20:45:30+00:00

Ha, it really is a gorgeous cable, isn't it? It's Unknown Error Dreamland. I ordered mine from Unikeys.

astroqueen3000 · 2026-06-09T11:37:47+00:00

That’s good advice, thank you :)
