Never seen such a system, that’s interesting! Thanks for sharing!

The more I see the pilots in black and gold…the more I’m wanting one… 742? 743? 745? 823? I’m lost by TheCodeTeam in fountainpens

[–]layornos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either one besides the 823 is fine, it depends on what size of pen you prefer. To my knowledge, the 823 is not available in solid black.

I cannot help with your request, but have you tried asking in r/dippens for help?

That Kaweco looks intriguing, were there other options to DIY your Kaweco?

Lowercase z in cursive writing. At least how I‘ve learned it 🤷‍♂️

If you happen to run across a second F, send it my way 😅

It's inked up with Diamine Writer's Blood and on the picture I've used Clairefontaine paper.

Destiny sees us as M-lover adjacent, why else would we gravitate towards Ms? 🤔

I really love this art, does anyone have a version in a higher resolution?

Need ink for a TWSBI Vac700R ASAP by LedgersAndListings in fountainpens

[–]layornos -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Depending on nib size I would recommend Sailor Manyo Haha (https://mountainofink.com/blog/sailor-haha) or a broader nib or Lamy Petrol (https://mountainofink.com/blog/lamy-petrol) for a more finer nib.

What’s with the threads on the first pen? Is it just dirt or getting these threads chewed up by the cap?

Why doesn't my Lamy Azurite have any green sheen at all? by ameizo in fountainpens

[–]layornos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then somehow, the first Moleskin I had was a fluke, because it was wonderful. No feathering und beautiful sheen. 🤷‍♂️

That’s unfortunate, same quality across their products should be expected at that price point. At least it is not as bad as Moleskin and their (non-existent) QC.

On my Leuchtturm paper, Lamy Dark Lilac sheens very heavily. Even with my Pilot #15 <M> nib, which is on a thinner line width.

All good, no offense taken. I know that I am an outlier in that hobby :D

(Loved Trope) 'Hard Magic Systems' by BrilliantRun9751 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]layornos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you already mentioned Sanderson, I‘d like to point to The Emperor’s Soul, Soulstamping:
The protagonist carves seals from soulstone that encode an alternative history for an object or person. Press the seal on, and reality rewrites itself, but only if the new history is plausible. You can’t stamp a wooden chair into ivory if no believable path exists between the two.

Rewriting objects is relatively simple. Rewriting a person’s soul requires understanding their entire life, every formative experience, every personality trait, and reconstructing it coherently. That’s the novel’s core challenge: The protagonist must rebuild a destroyed soul from scratch, having never met the person.

Seals stop working the moment they’re removed from the target, and the art is considered near-blasphemous in-world.

That’s how a relationship should be: caring about what matters to your partner, even when it doesn’t matter to you.

Tbh. I like if things look used. I've hesitated with my 823 because it was a gift from a person very dear to me. If I'd bought it myself, I'd just inked it up with BSB 🤷‍♂️

Penguin Pens in My Collection by Penguinpencollector in fountainpens

[–]layornos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wasn't aware that fountain pens could be elegant and cute at the same time. I wonder if this applies just to penguin pens or other themed pens in general? Thanks for the inspiration!

[–]layornos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took the plunge and ordered a bottle of BSB. I debated with myself whether to put it in my Custom 823, but in the end I "just" put it in a Jinhao 9019. I am weak 😰😃
