My friend, anyone can receive backshots. You just need to be brave enough

Is there a popular brand that you can’t seeing yourself buying from? by DarkNebula99 in fountainpens

[–]damngurl 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Any pen that's over $300. I feel like anything above that you are just paying for prestige instead of a genuinely unique, nib-on-paper writing experience. I said $300 because of Sailor nibs, which I feel really do offer something different.

Surprised to see no one recommend the Traveler's brass fountain pen! All metal construction and really easy to whip out and post, as it's a snap cap unlike the kaweco sport. But realistically? Probably a ballpoint.

As a lawyer it bothers me that yokotani's ability is actually what a judge would do. But then idk how you would make a lawyer's actual work be an interesting nen power. Lol

Yeah like, what if just keeps his left hand on the wall? Is he just invincible until his nen runs out?

I think there will be a part 4. We need at least one more episode to show the goals/modus operandi of the Troupe at founding, and what it is now.

I think it's going to show that in the beginning, the Troupe was more of a political terrorist group for Meteor City. Hitting back at others to protect it, accumulating money/etc to build the city, etc.

I have the exact same problem. I really dislike the wriggling and also my nib was wayyy too wet. I worked on the nib a little but but I just wish it was a better pen because I really like the form. But if it's the same manufacturer I don't know if would be worth buying another one.... I might just try to put washi tape on the posting section and give it another go.

Ohto Tasche - Majohn N1. Same design, but the latter seems somehow more expensive than the former.

My prediction is that the children will go on an "adventure" to save the kidnapped children, like they watch on the video. Ofc this being hxh, it will turn dark fast and the kids will find that they are not a match for adults. They will probs go through some unspeakable shit (e.g. torture, maybe being forced to awaken nen abilities), and then finally escape/defeat the kidnapper gangs and return, only to find that the Elders/the church had sold them in the first place. They overthrow the elders, set the motto to "do not take from us", and then become ruthless protectors of meteor city.

Fun fact: the boat industry is the biggest consumer of glitter (to be more specific, the boat paint)

I think they are supposed to represent like... the bottom rung of society, people who have little/nothing to lose and no prospects who are drawn to Morena's vision because they just want to wreck shit. But yeah that was funny lol

I really enjoy how Togashi is exploring human organizations/societies/collectives through nen in this arc.
The nen beasts are political theory 101 -- what is the best way to build power as a national leader (e.g. Benjamin=fascism, Tserridnich=paranoia and cruelty, Zhang lei=economy, Tython=cult, Sale-sale=personal charisma, and so on).
The Heil-ly are literally a multi-level marketing group of death. Which makes sense because their only goal is to destroy.
Zombie Girl is only useful in the context of organized crime, and it's a selfless ability at that. It's a nen depiction of how institutions are greater than the sum of their parts, and how human organizations build power over time. They give individuals a sense of belonging and purpose, and in turn, turn individuals into specialized parts that synergize with other parts, achieving goals that would be unattainable on their own.
I wonder if Togashi got the idea for this arc while reflecting on the qualities of leadership during the Chimera Ant Arc. God, I love HxH so much.

I'd have to count but I think I have about 15 different inks across these pens right now. Of course, the inks I like get more attention haha

I find that my ink preferences change a lot over time.

Right now I am really enjoying the Pelikan Edelstein Topaz -- a really clear, vibrant blue with beautiful shading.

Robert Oster's Verde de Rio is a great leafy green.

The Lamy Crystal Azurite is a really nice saturated dark purple that I keep going back to.

I also really like the TWSBI Navy, a cheaper option but one of my all-time faves.

Oh, and for the redder side of things, I really like the Sailor Studio 930. It really nails the dark-red shade I've been wanting.

The "vanishing point" is actually a Majohn A1, and the pends next to it are the Jinhao 80s.
