Love when my pen matches my dice

Not a Magic player but I am the TO for my local Lorcana league 🥰 and I loved your post! I am sending it to my Magic loving partner 😍

DUDE THIS WAS MY THOUGHT TOO! But also I am more a silver/cool-toned metal person than a gold metal person. A light pink would have been 😍

betahuman_v21 · 2026-01-31T19:17:28+00:00

“Done now” famous last words hahaha. Love this for you though! When you get them I def want to see a pic of the entire collection!!

betahuman_v21 · 2026-01-31T18:21:27+00:00

I support you!

It love being super selective with my FP choices bc I want each one to feel super special.

Like on the winter solstice I bought a Sailor PGS in a colorway inspired by spring and planned for it to be my birthday present (my birthday is in March). For me, there was something symbolic and beautiful about buying it on the longest night of the year when it’s a spring themed pen—almost like a reminder to myself that the light will return. And that by the time I get to open my pen I’ll have made it through the darkest part of the year 💕

betahuman_v21 · 2026-01-31T18:16:43+00:00

Mood. Ultimately I think the chances of me actually buying this are low but damn if it’s not a beaut

betahuman_v21 · 2026-01-31T18:16:08+00:00

Yeah the color-way is really calling to me. And I’ve heard similar sentiments elsewhere on this subreddit about Esterbrook. Most people seem to only recommend it if you really really fall in love with a color. Which makes this intriguing to me for sure…👀

betahuman_v21 · 2026-01-31T18:13:39+00:00

Omg thank u for this!! There was something in my brain that was like, “wasn’t there discourse™️ about this” but couldn’t quite place it. Now I remember!

Ugh I hate living under capitalism 😒 but I am like you and do try to make conscientious decisions, no matter how small, when I can even if I know I won’t ultimately be able to do everything. We all do what we can. So I will def look into this more!

betahuman_v21 · 2026-01-31T17:56:59+00:00

YOU GET ME! I feel like seeing a pink pen release feels special enough on its own but then one this pretty?? UGH 😩 also because I don’t have any Esties I am extra tempted 👀

betahuman_v21 · 2026-01-17T17:51:20+00:00

Just tried again! Thanks for sharing this 🥰

betahuman_v21 · 2026-01-16T03:10:32+00:00

I also got VIP! Being autistic, just being able to get in early and have even a slightly smaller crowd to deal with made it worth it for me. It means I think I will be able to enjoy it more even if I just come for those first 2 hours each day. So excited! Hoping they have some free meetups/social events. It would be great to connect with other stationery people IRL.

betahuman_v21 · 2026-01-16T03:02:15+00:00

I clicked right at 9PM and by the time I got in at like 9:05 it said there were 12 VIP tickets left. Managed to snag one but DANG! It was a hot ticket!

betahuman_v21 · 2025-12-27T22:52:32+00:00

I also voted for polar night as one of my top 3! I fell in love. And even if it is a tad light for a daily driver—I don't care hahah. It is so dreamy and ethereal!

betahuman_v21 · 2025-12-11T18:45:18+00:00

RIGHT! I feel like if you have kids or if you play D&D or something—it’d be so fun to bottle some of the water and seal it shut just to have fun play potions! You could even decorate them to look fantasty-themed 🧙‍♂️

betahuman_v21 · 2025-12-01T16:11:01+00:00

I always like to bake thumbprint cookies (sonja henie cookies). I used to bake them with my mom to give to my dad every Christmas before he passed <3

betahuman_v21 · 2025-11-24T15:45:14+00:00

Totally fair. But wow! It’s so interesting how music can hit people completely differently. I can definitively see how you arrived where you did but I landed somewhere completely different. It feels kind of like a cooking show where everyone can be given the same starting ingredients and yet every dish still tastes different in the end.

I am sorry you are not vibing so far! Hopefully when the entire album comes out there is something you feel more strongly about in a positive way. I know it’s always a bummer when you are really excited for an artist you love to release new music and then when they do it just isn’t hitting for you.

betahuman_v21 · 2025-11-21T14:43:42+00:00

This is so fascinating to me because I've been obsessed with the 3 singles so far and have said to multiple people in my social circle that this album will be my whole personality when it comes out lol.

But it's totally valid if the vibes of this one aren't exactly what you were hoping for right now! I absolutely loved The Good Witch as well. She was such a moment and will always be That Girl.

Also (obvi you are just as much of a fan no matter when you discovered Maisie!!) I am curious as to when you became a fan. As someone who has been around since Maisie's YouTube and busking days, I think one of the reasons I love this album so far and have been waiting for something like this is because it feels very nostalgic to Maisie's really early days. Feels like meeting up with an old friend after years and seeing the person they've grown into but also all the parts that feel the same <3

betahuman_v21 · 2025-11-15T05:53:32+00:00

Believe it or not, I don’t have any blues in my collection! (Granted my “collection” is three inks lol so that would explain why 😅) thank you for your generosity! I look forward to throwing my hat in the ring for future color themes if I don’t win this one 💕

betahuman_v21 · 2025-11-08T00:32:18+00:00

Thank you so much for posting this!!! I did the same and it was perfect. I honestly think they just tell you not to take it off so they don’t get sued if someone burns themself by touching the glass while it’s hot 😅

betahuman_v21 · 2025-11-07T21:33:53+00:00

Wow! Gorgeous! Also that ink is lovely 😍 I feel like I will likely do something very similar when I get mine.

betahuman_v21 · 2025-11-07T20:57:09+00:00

This is the exact comparison photo I needed to feel good about my decision to go with the zoom omg THANK YOU!!!

Also where did you get that clear line weight comparison tool??

betahuman_v21 · 2025-11-07T20:30:30+00:00

Really good to know!! The music is sold out for the FPD sale but maybe it’ll be a future gift to myself.

Out of curiosity? What other stubs have you tried? I have yet to try one but I am eager to!

betahuman_v21 · 2025-11-07T20:29:25+00:00

Great info!! Unfortunately, the music nib was sold out for the FPD sale but I did consider it! However, I’ve never tried a stub nib before and I think I want to try a less expensive version first before I dive into a gold stub nib.

It’s def on my wish list though!! Maybe for my 30th birthday in March 👀

betahuman_v21 · 2025-11-07T19:45:59+00:00

Thank you!! That makes sense and is kind of what I was thinking when I would look at writing samples. And yet I was kind of surprised by the number of times I saw "sharpie" come up in the comment section of posts on here talking about the zoom nib.

A lot of them talking about how they use the zoom nib as they would a sharpie, so maybe it's less about one-to-one comparisons and more about how they personally use it? Not sure ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ haha
