all things considered i think ferris wheel press fucked up the superman collab real bad, but the Heroic Blue ink is actually gorgeous
also, the majohn P140 is the best fountain pen in the world under £50 i don't give a solitary fuck if it's a montblanc clone. this thing is incredible.
spoke to a therapist today and when they asked if i wanted to change my situation i said "no, i just want to talk about it" & they were like "yeah, we can do that."
pretty good experience. i'm not there for solutions. i'm really good at solutions myself actually. i have no interest in outsourcing that.
what i'm bad at is processing my feelings. i'm bad at seeing myself as a human who has feelings. i'm bad at accepting that an emotion is sometimes a thing you just gotta have for a time.
Bonus: If I buy a book I get to keep it! The publisher can't turn up at my house at random and confiscate all the books I bought.
i ran my first session of godkiller last night and had an absolute blast. it's been years since i have taken the gm/storyteller role and it's really lovely to do in a game that emphasises collaboration through its mechanics. i can sense that feeling of drift compatibility making a story happen with one of my best friends in the world. can't wait to play more.
if anyone's interested we did record the session and it'll be streaming this wednesday (2026-06-03) at 19:30 BST on heavy_rpg - if you tune in i will love you forever but no pressure because i will love you forever if you don't also
this has been pushed to thursday 2026-06-04, same bat time, same bat channel
Continuing writing with the flex nib fountain pen filled with Iroshizuku Yama-Budo ink. At this point, I've diluted the ink three times (every time it's out, I just fill the convertor with water) and as it gets lighter, the shading becomes more prominent.
This time I was writing the subheads from a book about knights.
How people get nicknames:
Recipient of a third-degree burn in front of witnesses. IE, "I won't take that shit from a man dressed like a ghostbuster"= "Gostbuster" or "Buster"
A distinctive personal feature or quirk. IE, "Have you noticed how that new guy is always eating bell peppers?" = "Peppers", or "That chick has a massive forehead" = "Forehead".
An embarrassing thing you said or did. IE, "Did you seriously call Dale "Dad"?" = "Junior", "Baby boy", "Sport"
A game of name-mutation telephone. IE, "Donny Clyde" = "Bonnie 'n' Clyde" = "Bonnie" = "Bon-bon".
Irony. IE, calling a tall person "short stack" or a particularly dour person "sunshine".
A 'wrong place wrong time' one-off incident. IE, "He spilled oil on his pants and had to borrow a pair that were way too big and Jim saw him with the waistband pulled up to his nipples and called him 'Parachute'"
A batman-style origin story but not in a cool way: "One time she hit a deer with the company car and when she called the boss to tell her she was crying so hard we thought she was dying" = "Bambi"
The incredibly rare 'admiration' nickname, bourne only once a millennia under the light of the blood moon: "We saw him lift a truck once so now we call him 'iron man'"
+ How Nicknames Stick:
Your fate is determined by The Counsel
You hate it
It's accurate
one time a guy slightly mumbled when introducing himself to me at a loud archery club meeting, so i heard Eric instead of Harry.
after 4 further club meetings wherein i referred to and introduced him as Eric, he said to me - in a group setting! - "my name's not Eric, it's actually Harry."
i was so embarrassed that i became instantly livid and told him i was now going to call him Not Eric as a punishment for taking too long to correct me.
weeks later we discovered that nobody in the club knew his actual name and he was exclusively known as Not Eric - a thing he quite enjoyed, actually, because he'd never had a nickname.
so i propose:
9. you trick an autistic person into a social snafu and they steal your true name like a vengeful fey

auto immune disorders happen when the immune system ignores regulatory factors and begins attacking healthy bodily tissues, due to what scientists refer to as "sheer love of the game"
For the record, you don't need "good" handwriting to get (or use) a fountain pen. Before rollerballs and gel pens were popular fountain pens were the standard- including for all the people who had messy handwriting. The benefit of fountain pens is how they feel not trying to flex your cursive or whatever else.
I love that comments can be liked now because you get notifications about insane things you don't remember saying
I don't need to carry a fountain pen and ink everywhere I don't need to carry a fountain pen and ink everywhere I don't-

Asked my mom who both has a MA in psychology and currently works for Kellogg’s to weigh in for the hell of it

Oh!
Hey runners (and walkers)! Thought this might be helpful :)
Shoelace Voodoo
The heel slipping one is awesome if you have to wear orthotics because it stops them from slipping round inside your shoe
Oh! I’ll have to try this
oh my god. oh, oh my god. the wide forefoot one… oh my god bless you you beautiful hero
Ian’s Shoelace Site – https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/ – is the page for all these lacing patterns and more.
He’s got specific lacing advice for skates and tall boots and there are decorative patterns and I recently relaced my skate shoes for both a wide forefoot and less friction on the laces so it’s easier to tighten and loosen them but he also has lace-locking patterns so that shoes stay exactly as tight as you laced them the first time and it is just a VERY GOOD website.
Like. I’ve been buying shoes the wrong size because it’s often hard to find wide shoes but the lacing pattern for a wide forefoot means that my big hobbit feet actually fit into the previously too-tight running shoes and sneakers I had.
I like your shoelaces
so i found ian's shoelace site on stumbleupon many years ago, i I spoke to my now-wife about it on our first date and i have never heard another soul mention it before this moment. i love that this enthusiastically nerdy website is being embraced by the enthusiastic nerds on the nerdy enthusiasm platform.
also, i loved visiting to learn that ian now has a "i don't use ai" statement on the front page. extremely common w for ian's shoelace site.
guys i’m so sorry to say this but exercising and indulging in hobbies rather than scrolling on your phone for 200 hours actually does improve your mood and overall mental health, this has deeply upset me more than anyone
similarly devastated to report that many gastrointestinal issues do actually improve if you increase your fibre intake. nobody is more heartbroken than i.
I am so many years late to the party but y’all Hades (the game) whips ass
my second favourite game of all time, welcome to the party friend! i promise it only gets better.
I’ve turned on God Mode and I’m already at 70% reduced damage, so I’ve gotten much farther than I would otherwise. Do you want to go to Messages or Discord (same screenname) so I can flail and yell at you about it? I’m so excited!
Greg had to go do Dad Stuff.
The rest of you: give me a Hades character and I will tell you their vibe
i am also always excited to hang out with my kid, he's very cool - we learned about mamenchisaurus and scutellosaurus, among others.
that said, what's your read on my boy bouldy?
The power of the Ceaseless Watcher flows through you, and the time of our victory is here.
Jon in the Hades game style! 👁
What boons do you think he'd give you? I think one of them could be an attack that spreads the forsaken fog his hair is made out of, which slows and freezes enemies.
