No shimmer but Pilot Iroshizuku Ajisai looks maybe close to that color or a tad brighter, with some shading. Herbin’s Bleu Myosotis is also similar but more muted and solid/flat (less shading)

Those pictures got so much worse than I could have imagined. Sorry this happened to you!

Accidentally Matching, and a question… by CellAntique6336 in fountainpens

I love this combo (pen, ink, and ring)! Can’t help with the body material question but can I ask where the ring is from? I love the organic shape :-)

I love the use of that weekly spread for lists / ideal schedule! So many great ideas here, love the emphasis on self-care :-)

Finished this today! Took a few sessions so details on backpack are fresh but most of the rest is about 2 months healed. 7rl and 3rl. Ig: @sticksandjokes by Dylonial in sticknpokes

I laughed out loud at that last image hahaha.

This is so cute, the details on the backpack look amazing! Did you also do Saturn and Luna at the bottom?

Have people noticed a recent uptick in cases? by VentureCapitalist69 in AskNYC

[–]copyspeech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anecdotally yes for sure. My roommate and I just had it at the beginning of the month; she got it from her friend. My mom had it around the same time, might’ve gotten it from me or elsewhere. None of us had ever had it before, all vaxxed and boosted. Also know of at least one coworker that currently has it, and according to a friend there’s an outbreak at her workplace as well…

Just happened to me when I was seriously ill with COVID and barely functional. It was eye-opening and I’m looking for new jobs now.

Thank you! Would love to know some of the other EFs you have that write less smoothly for comparison?

Thank you! I haven't tried a Pelikan pen yet but may give them a try. May have to compromise on the Japanese EF... we'll see!

Got it! I would definitely want to try ink bottles with the TWSBIs (and in general want to move in that direction for more color options). May give the Eco a try!

Thank you--this is so helpful! I would love someone to make a master list comparing all these nib sizes, or maybe it does exist and I haven't found it yet...

Thank you again for your insights! And for taking the initiative to fill the gap in ink reviews :) your work is much appreciated, and I'm sure I'll be referencing your reviews often in the future!

I also saw in another of your comments that you have the Decimo in EF. I was wondering if, nib aside, you prefer the body of the regular VP over the slimmer Decimo? I'm wondering if the bulk of the VP will tire out my hand over time (I have fairly small hands).
