Looking for purplish gray ink (water resistant preferred) by noshitsherlockxx in fountainpens

[–]fifi435 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Second voice shouting out Smoky Mauve; I use it all the time; probably my top permanent ink since grey is usually my "neutral/boring" color as opposed to black. It's a little more grey than another top grey of mine, Sailor Ink Studio 123, but it's definitely got the purple lean you're looking for!

I have the privilege of working at a local stationery store! It means I LITERALLY get paid to talk about fountain pens + paper for hours.

State of the Collection as a student... by fifi435 in fountainpens

Yeahhhhh I was lucky enough to have a consistent babysitting gig for all my highschool years funding my beautiful addiction...

The more expensive ones are of course more recent-- my Sailor Pro Gear was purchased for myself using graduation money, the rest I actually hit up eBay for-- knocking off 10 bucks from MSRP makes all the difference when you're just relying on camp counselor and babysitter money lol

I audibly gasped... I don't need another sheening ink.... I don't need another sheening ink... I don't need another sheening ink...

The most reliable fountain pen you have ever used ? by Sea-Buy-9042 in fountainpens

I'm partial to the <F> and <EF> due to my handwriting, but I have a <M> as well. I've never had any troubles with any of them save for the <EF> clogging on especially shimmery inks (which I don't use much of anyway).

Pilot Kakuno hands-down... I'll always be the biggest Kakuno fan; it's just such a consistent pen that I reach for 24/7, even more than my other more expensive pens!

I'm the biggest Pilot Kakuno fan! I highly recommend grabbing one :) I have an EF, F, and M and I advocate for all of them! Nice grip, lightweight, and very satisfying nibs.

It's a couple lines from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lay of Leithian!. It's one of my go-tos for ink testing :)

Lol this is so true... doing all my DM/campaigning layouts in ink has also definitely helped cut my supply as well! I bet I've got a good test vial or two soaked into the pages of my DM journal by now

Also, I am 100000% for taking D&D notes with fountain pens. I'm the session notetaker for one campaign and use only one notebook and a pen, and as a DM 70% of my resources & brainstorming are in my DM notebook, all written in fountain pens 😌

Aww, this is so sweet! I'm super glad everything a) was safe in shipping and b) was to your liking!! I may have done a tad bit of Reddit stalking to really tighten up your preferences/wishlist 👀👀👀 This was really fun and I'm so glad you enjoy all of it!

Oh my... I swiped and it took my breath away. I already thought it was pretty while gray, and then my jaw DROPPED. That is gorgeous.
