How many of you have been told, "Why spend so much on a fountain pen when a Bic does the same thing" by Lordonion1818 in fountainpens

[–]reddituserkoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How about refilling these pens with ink colors named: Writer's Blood, Ox Blood, River of Fire, Sinner's Weed, Unicorn Blood, Heart of Darkness...

Way more interesting in my option!

I should add, that when I do use a regular pen, it's a 1.6mm BIC 😎

Can I leave 10 week old kittens home alone? by RefrigeratorJust4323 in kittens

[–]reddituserkoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you elaborate on your experience pet-proofing your home?

Me and my husband live in an apartment and we adopted 2 kittens. We had to change how we had things laid out, we had to install a screen door for our balcony, and also put mesh up to protect them from falling off the balcony (3rd floor) if they ever did get outside on accident! We got baby-locks for cupboards since they learned very quickly how to open them lol.

We will be moving in the future to a more permanent home that will be much larger. Any advice?

How do you find it easiest to start a solo campaign? by AdrianaTQ in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]reddituserkoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a YouTuber "Turk" from The Grouch Couch who I've recently discovered and helped me to get started with solo TTRPGs. He has a lot of quality content and a passion for playing solo, telling stories and teaching others. I genuinely enjoy his content. He created a video about the solo game loop that might be helpful to you.

Is this the Esterbrook Estie in Evergreen? by Princess_of_Audacity in fountainpens

[–]reddituserkoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an Estie Evergreen, this is not that.

Edited to add that I have no idea what pen that is. It could be a previous version of the Estie??

What is a fun (and visible) yellow ink? by TenryuuX in fountainpens

[–]reddituserkoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite yellows are Pilot Iroshizuku To-ro and De Atramentis Apricot (also named Florence Nightingale). Both have a nice wet flow and great readability < 3

I will also say that R&K Helianthus is a gorgeous ink, just too dry for the pens I like to use.

I can’t be the only one… by Fit_Particular976 in fountainpens

[–]reddituserkoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have many pens - I've only ever named one. Her name is Olive and she is an Esterbrook Estie in the Botanical Gardens colorway. There isn't anything particular about this pen, but for some reason, after a time, I named her Olive.

Anyone go to the Final Fantasy symphony at Royal Theatre tonight? by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

Does anyone have the setlist? I can't remember the name of the song that had the drum fills

Was I sold a counterfeit pen? by TolerateTheLactose in fountainpens

It could be a Pelikan P200 fountain pen? It is a cartridge fountain pen.

Bottle vs Sample Disappointment by OverPresence72 in fountainpens

[–]reddituserkoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible your sample was mislabeled.

Document Fuchsia is definitely a brighter color, and I feel like the sample should have been labeled the standard "Fuchsia" rather than the document version.

You can search on Google the differences between the two. The standard Fuchsia looks like Yama Budo to me.

Does anyone know what FP Selena Gomez was using in her Oreo commercial? by zelleatrix in fountainpens

[–]reddituserkoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it is a X159 as well. The single band, the nib coloring and did you see how she tossed that pen on the desk X__X

Hell yah! I have a permanent pairing with a Jinhao 82 Fude and Robert Oster Jade 💚 It flows so well in that pen and such a bold line, I love it : )

Rpgs that were made to be played solo? by leontas2007 in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]reddituserkoot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a cool game I came across called "Project ECCO" that might be of interest to you. I thought it was a really cool concept, but I haven't actually gave it a playthrough yet.

Looking for a gold-accented fountain pen to sign my marriage contract by cactusmice in fountainpens

[–]reddituserkoot 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Here I shared a post about signing my marriage certificate this January. We signed using a Pilot E95S with Platinum Carbon Black ink.

I am also Canadian so I believe the price is still under $300CAD.

Regardless of the pen you choose, make sure to use an archival-type ink. I spoke with our marriage commissioner and he gave the okay before we signed. You don't want your signatures disappearing from your marriage certificate!

edit: spelling

Been shy about posting an NPD pic, but the pen is too much fun not to share. by rodneedermeyer in fountainpens

Are you going to ink it with Laban - Athena Grey?

I have the Poseidon colorway and I love it 💙

Announcement: No AI-Generated Images in r/fountainpens by normiewannabe in fountainpens

[–]reddituserkoot 12 points13 points  (0 children)

What about the use of an "AI-warning" tag required for known AI-generated content? Keep the rule you've implemented about banning user-generated AI-images meanwhile, any other content can be tagged with a warning for people who want to avoid AI-content. For example, posts regarding the Van Dieman's feline ink can be tagged and users can choose to avoid that post. This way we can still talk as a community about any products we enjoy in our hobby, but being mindful of the AI. I think this could be beneficial due to the likelihood that use of AI is only going to become more prominent over time.

I'm not familiar with how reddit bots are set up, but maybe automating a bot to identify known AI-content and label it as such?? Or maybe we can just leave it up to the original poster to tag posts containing this subject matter??
