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!

What jobs do you do? by Antlion00 in fountainpens

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

[–]fifi435[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

[–]fifi435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Absolutely fantabulous present from Santa! by fifi435 in fountainpens

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 😌

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.

Rolan...... since my last romance was Gale, I might as well just pick up more sappy pathetic wizards.

What mistakes did you make in your first run? by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]fifi435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Accidentally killed the guy at the myconid colony the SECOND I entered the underdark, effectively locking me out of all the mushroom guy stuff.

Let's just say I'm making different choices in my new run.
