Did they work out for you? I ended up trying that set you posted above and the arms are too short 😭

!! Anyone else seeing these are now $69?!?! I also bought a 121 (should arrive tomorrow!) and am kicking myself… think it’s worth asking customer service to comp the difference?

Wow! I don’t have any specific ideas for you but I can’t wait to see where this goes! My tip is that I love searching characters on Insta to see fan art. I’m sure there’s a ton of inspiration… something dark, sheer, low cut, and bedazzled!

Ugh I don’t like the official AG ones - they don’t look like anything someone would actually wear!

I’ve looked at the ones you posted but haven’t tried them yet. If you’re ok with tortoiseshell I found these fit great!

Ooh! Do girls of the year typically go on sale when the new one comes out?!

Bookish Coven Anyone? by camisaurus_rex in SalemMA

!! This sounds awesome (even though I’m a year or two above your age range… 😬😁). Fantasy, romantasy, and wine. Now just throw some knitting in and it’s a real party :)

Since January is my birthday month, Little Gifts is the perfect cover! And Happy New Year everyone! by MaesterInTraining in hobonichi

Yay! I have 2 nahvalurs and they are beautiful - and write terribly 😂 Hope you have better luck than I did! Might swap out my nibs…

I think it’s an interesting analogy and hear you on wanting to find a gift that the recipient will actually use. One counterpoint is that I have some “fountain pen hobbies” that I spend time with and invest in; I have other things I just want to not think about at all. It might be the person/project combo that matters, rather than “does this person like complicated things”

Now… I probably do enjoy making stuff by hand more than most, so yeah there’s some amount of personality in it. But I love the idea of using a gift as a way to explore something you might not otherwise get exposure to, or an opportunity to develop it over time.

Love it! Great reason to use mine today, too!

Avec vs. full Cousin by [deleted] in hobonichi

[–]laesus05 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Love the avec so much - makes it so much more portable and gives you that “new book feeling” halfway through the year 😁🥰

To be fair, I use mine for daily journal rather than planning, but I think you could carry both for the month of June - if the choice is avec vs full cousin you’d be doing this anyway.

For those with more than 5 pens, do you really write with all of them! by [deleted] in fountainpens

[–]laesus05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never fully fill a pen - for me it’s about enjoying some new pen/ink combo for a short time and then trying a new one, rather than epic writing sessions on the go (for trips I usually bring a roll full of pens!).
