I'll be honest, I couldn't take a picture I actually liked today. So here is a quick video of me journaling the prompts by @journaling-junkie and @chatoyantquill Pen: Pilot Cavalier Ink: Diamine Oxblood Writing Music: For the Battle writing playlist

I really loved seeing the Cavalier in your last video! That's one of those pens that I'm kind of surprised doesn't get more love in the community. It's such a sweet slim little pen with a surprisingly bouncy steel nib, and it makes such fine lines. Anyway, thanks for sharing another video!

Thank you so much! I really like my Cavalier, you’re right it has such nice thin lines! I have noticed that it can make my thumb sore after a while because it’s so slim, but overall I really enjoy writing with it!

*SINKING FEELING!*

He had a good look at the tip under a big ol' magnifying glass, drew a few swirls and squiggles and proclaimed that it is absolutely fine and told me to "try to forget that it was ever dropped".

Yeah, right!

Well it's pleasing to know that not only is my pen okay after the fall and my hamfisted attempt to wrestle the tines back into place (I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING), but that he appreciates how nice the pen is, too. They don't stock many Japanese pens so he probably hasn't seen a Pilot Cavalier before. I feel like a bit of a hipster snob.
