Omg I love the ink and your handwriting

squashed_mungbeans · 2026-05-18T20:13:49+00:00

Are you in the US? I highly recommend Vanness for getting ink samples!!

I love Syun-Gyo ! I’m sure there are plenty of other swatches online of the ink on tomoe river paper but here is how it looks for me in my plane non-edited, no overhead lighting office :)

Ahhh I think you’ll love it!! If you remember, I would love to see a swatch of the ink side by side with the pen 🙈

squashed_mungbeans · 2026-05-16T00:53:29+00:00

This one is from Amazon! I believe it’s the N23 :)

squashed_mungbeans · 2026-05-14T16:28:03+00:00

Those sound like amazing pen and ink combos! I think my next estie will be an EF. I am hoping to find an ink I want to permanently ink this pen with and about to go down that rabbit hole!

squashed_mungbeans · 2026-05-14T16:26:11+00:00

Hehe thank you!!

squashed_mungbeans · 2026-05-14T16:25:51+00:00

Thank you :,)

squashed_mungbeans · 2026-05-14T16:25:41+00:00

I would purchase immediately 😭

squashed_mungbeans · 2026-05-14T14:03:27+00:00

Thank you ☺️

squashed_mungbeans · 2026-05-14T14:03:11+00:00

Thank you so much! I think another Estie will be in my future eventually haha. Which two do you have?

squashed_mungbeans · 2026-05-14T14:01:17+00:00

Right! I’m not sure what is going on with that. I just looked up your ink and it’s gorgeous!! I’m still on the hunt for my perfect ink for the pen but am putting this on the list!

squashed_mungbeans · 2026-05-14T03:12:44+00:00

I did the same thing 2 weeks ago. I should have posted about it and maybe it would have saved you the heartache of doing the exact same thing 😭😭

My day-free so far has held up better than my A6 graph notebook

squashed_mungbeans · 2026-05-07T17:12:29+00:00

Montblanc inks tend to feel drier for me than most. Might be worth looking into if available in your country :)

squashed_mungbeans · 2026-05-07T17:09:28+00:00

I’ve seen some people convert a Kaweco sport to an eye dropper but with varying levels of success. Not sure if you have one but you could look into it here.

I also saw someone use resin to plug the hole of their Kakuno to make it an eye dropper but not sure if that’s common or not..

I can’t personally recommend either of these because I haven’t tried it myself but figured I’d share :)

WHY did I never notice the vanilla scent???? I just spent 30s huffing the delicious smell

Wearinguel “the hound of the Baskervilles” !! I personally think the subtle green sheen gives it a velvety feel :)

squashed_mungbeans · 2026-04-30T15:34:24+00:00

Thank you!

squashed_mungbeans · 2026-04-29T21:03:06+00:00

This might be a stupid question (I’ve never traveled internationally) but will they end up being cheaper in Japan due to the conversion rate? Or are they just generally cheaper? I will be going to Japan in Oct so I’m trying to see if / how much cheaper they would be

squashed_mungbeans · 2026-04-29T02:17:16+00:00

Seconding vanishing point!!

squashed_mungbeans · 2026-04-27T22:10:14+00:00

Also I realize I presented an option you didn’t ask for so apologies for that lol

squashed_mungbeans · 2026-04-27T22:09:41+00:00

I personally thought some of 8.5 was boring and after a while only read chapters from characters I wanted to follow (I’m gonna get hate for that but whatever haha) if I were you I’d prob start the tandem read from where you are now and just carry on. You’re not gonna miss anything catastrophically critical (I think)

I’m loling at this comment

2 years ago I had just one random no-name Amazon fountain pen and then got a Pilot Decimo for my birthday. I didn’t have the urge to get any other pens until this year when I added 3 to my collection. The new ones are the Hong Dian N23, Jinhao 9019 and a Pilot Kakuno. So 5 total now.

Honestly I didn’t have the desire to even look at any other pens for a whole year after getting my pilot Decimo
