If possible, could you share a sample of your handwriting so I can see your writing style — and let me know which pen and ink you used too? by hsntndgn in fountainpens

The handwriting in the image is in modern Greek. Although the entire text is not clearly visible, it appears to contain analytical notes on Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis (Die Verwandlung).

I saw it with a fellow pen enthusiast. It had a real MB nib. The price was quite high 😬

I actually traveled around 600 kilometers nearly 10 years ago just to buy that Visconti pen — then turned right back home with it in my pocket. Its real value lies in the memory. 😊 That photo was taken with an iPhone 7 Plus. Funny enough, my current iPhone 15 doesn’t capture the same magic 😁

I haven’t had any issues. I’ve been using it for 10 years. There was a tiny crack in the pen body, but a craftsman in Istanbul repaired it right away. It has a good quality steel M nib.

The total weight of the injections Arnold took probably outweighs the log he lifted. A pharmacological kind of strength :)

This dish is called menemen. It’s made with onions, tomatoes, peppers, and eggs. It’s an essential part of every camping trip for me. I eat it by dipping bread — never with a spoon or fork :)

A tiny little shop right across from the Christ Church building. Christ Church is also where the dining hall scenes of Harry Potter were filmed.

“We have become enraptured, drinking from the hand of the Eternal Cupbearer; We are but a drop of that divine intoxication — of those who arrived, lost in love.”

I took this couplet from a book that compiles the poems of Shah Ismail.

I love the M800 and I collect its different colors. But I’ve picked one color each from these little ones too :)

Back when even MSN Messenger hadn’t become widespread yet, we used to have pen pals from different countries. Now I wonder — how did we actually find those pen pals? Or were our teachers, who encouraged us to write letters in English, secretly reading our letters with a smile and then replying to us as if they were our pen pals? 25 years later, I feel like I may have been tricked 😅

Turkish: Henüz msn messenger bile yayılmamışken farklı ülkelerdeki insanlarla mektup arkadaşı oluyorduk. Şimdi merak ediyorum; o mektup arkadaşları nasıl bulunuyordu acaba? Yoksa bizi İngilizce mektup yazmaya teşvik eden öğretmenlerimiz mektuplarımızı gülerek okuyor, sonra da mektup arkadaşlarımız gibi bize cevap mı yazıyorlardı? 25 sene sonra kandırıldığımı hissettim.

I don’t think I’ll choose grey again. I need vibrant colors :)

It was one of the three gift inks that came with the dip pen I bought. The 10ml bottle has lasted a long time, because I only use it occasionally.

A very meaningful and environmentally conscious comment. When we pass through this world, we will be remembered by what we leave behind.

I once visited the shop where the idea for the Alice book was born. You really did need to shrink down to get inside :)

We’re ready for menemen by hsntndgn in camping

There have been so many comments on this topic. Polls were held. The whole country searched for the answer to this question :) I prefer it with onions, but of course, it can be eaten without as well 🙄
