just my experience but older gay men at my job are either the rudest fucking people I’ve ever met or they think I’m some circus monkey and that everything I say is funny

Sitting in a café in England all of 5 minutes before the Londoners at the table next to me start saying loud and incorrect things about whether Northern Irish people are Irish or British in a disparaging tone. Ashley Frangipane the things I do for you

something is fucking wrong with me and i don’t know what but what i do know is it sucks

my knee was bothering me (has been bothering me for months) and the cold shower i had made me want to pass out so i lay down and instead of relieving that pain now my back, neck and legs hurt as well.

this is not a new thing but i’m so fucking exhausted.

you like fountain pens? tell me about your favorite inks!

i'll tell you about mine in exchange :)

Okay, but I’m a fresh newbie to it all, having once again been autistic and gone ‘oooh tactile experiences with colours’, and made the mistake of touching something that has ensnared autistics for centuries.

I’ve got Diamine inks because they’re so cheap here with a good range.

Colour corrected as best as possible. Cerise is a brighter pinkier pink when it gets going, and Amber is yellow when you start but goes orange in the nib by the second time you pick it up, hence the unexpected Golden Sands purchase.

I like pangrams that feel fitting to the colours, which ended up with me having to make them up now lol - Celadon Cat and Golden Sands.

Pen wise…the community will probably hate me but there were these wooden pens that came with refillable cartridges and they were only five bucks. So that meant I could slowly acquire more and more for each ink, and colour them, and the wood feels nice in my hand cus i hate the feel of plastic it’s like school and-

(Washi tape on the glitter ones Blue Flame Shimmer (blue and gold glitter), and Golden Ivy Shimmer (you can guess) to mark them as separate. …And on Mondobbos Hat because apparently my eyes really struggle with the difference between their dark purple and Macassar brown in low light, and I keep making the mistake.)

When people didn’t know what to get me for a present this year, I just pointed them at the pens and… I have been enabled.

They’re not all perfect, there’s some variability in nib width - I’ve got one that needs squeezing before attempting to write (Golden Ivy one, but at least the glitter doesn’t clump) and one scratchy. But for the price, eh, that’s an alright percentage. Did need to seal the barrel metal with an all-purpose finish though, cus someone skimped on anti-oxidising costs, but I’m alright with that.

My main problem was finding notebooks that worked. Avocado And Spice have changed their branding and with it apparently their damn paper, so they were a bust. Surprisingly the very cheap Amazon Notebooks are perfectly good with no bleeding or real bleedthrough. But my favourite are these, because when I got it I went: *sigh*, okay let’s set up a test page at the back…and it already had one. Marked Test Page. Has a contents and numbered pages too, with great paper with no bleed or bleedthrough, and a nice feeling cover. Bargain.

At the moment it’s my chill-out hobby, or something to do when my heart starts acting up (god that makes me sound old). I’m currently writing out the first pages of my favourite books. It’s a cool exercise to try. Shows you how little consistency there is in grammar and punctuation choices, and how little they matter. As well as getting the creative juices flowing.

People who listen to tiktoks out loud on a bus/train/other mode of public transport are public menaces and if you do this, I hate you.

Especially because my phone was out of battery thus I had literally NO WAY to drown out your bullshit, and I can't get away from you because we're on public transport

Like literally go away ffs
