Inked (and re-inked) the newest rotation. 25 and counting (I still have a good few pens to clean and re-ink... I'm feeling a distinct lack of purples this round).

Iri, from your personal experience, what's an orgasm like? I've heard some people say its absolutely amazing, and others say it's just meh. What's your opinion?

Asmr: Me Reading This Post

1. (Choking on potato chip noises)

2. (Doubled over in laughter)

3. Intense thinking noises because how the fuck DO you describe an orgasm?

Hmm... Like burning, but if burning felt good. They can vary in intensity, so sometimes it's a lot of burning and sometimes it's just a tingle.

Frankly, they happen in my sleep more often than I'm awake, but that's because my sleep meds give me sex dreams often. You wake up from it, but it's just "???? Alright. (Goes back to sleep.)"

Went with the orange, and this nib is incredible! Granted, it doesn't seem to love my Clairefontaine paper, but on Midori and Leuchtturm it was smooth as butter and super juicy. Perfect with some Iroshizuku fuyu-gaki!

I did some digging and didn't see this question so I hope I'm not asking something you've answered. I'm looking for some Carbon Black ink for watercolor sketches and I'm told they can be hard on pens. Do you have a recommendation for a pen that could handle it?

Hi there!

I don't think I've answered this one, mostly since i have limited experience with Carbon Black myself.

The main thing is, this ink is really only hard on fountain pens if it dries out. So a good pen for this ink would be either/and 1. a pen you use often enough it doesn't get the chance to dry out; 2. a pen with a very good seal.

There are many such pens around, but the best one I can personally recommend is the Platinum 3776. That seal is phenomenal.

Given that it is a little pricey, I'd also look at some cheaper Chinese pens. My Jinhao 82 and 8802 have pretty good seals. The only type of pen I'd definitely stay away from with this ink would be demonstrators; I have heard a lot about staining issues.

Here's a thread on the fountain pen subreddit you may find useful:

The Sailor Studio 123 ink is growing on me. For once I feel like I don't need the broadest possible nib to make it look good -- really digging it in this Lamy EF
