I'm playing a Ninth House cavalier again! ("Typecast much?" smirked a partner.) For "2 Dead 2 Furious", by Pretty Good Larps, taking "Harrow the Ninth" as inspiration. I'm expecting some amazing mindfuckery!

This is the title page in a book I'm filling up with words as a prop. Details on ink etc below the cut.

Ink: Wearingeul "Black Dream", black ink with red shimmer particles. Also a tiny bit of Diamine "Best Wishes" because I picked up the wrong fountain pen.)

Paper: Midori A6 thin notebook

Casimir Non must have been bad at their duties, seeing how both them and their adept Wrackhark Nonekalos were so badly hurt at the first attempt at Midnight Ball and finding their Ordained Thanergetic Partners. Not that Casimir 2.0? remembers anything, slightly to their shame. Such is the way with headwounds, heart failure and so on, or whatever caused it.

Casimir 1.0? seems to have written a lot of sad poetry. Wrackhark gave Cas 2.0? their latest book of it, to see if that could make them recall themself. So far no luck... but it has given me a wonderful excuse to write a lot of doleful, middling-bad poetry that has already made a Literary Science M.A. cringe when I let him read. Mwahahah.

Wearingeul Pop Up Sale (Or, I can never resist writing implements or um, paper in general)

-Thank you @ladyqueth for letting me know about this!!

I managed to get to the pop up for Wearingeul, the Korean ink and stationery maker I only learned about through a foreign friend I made on the American app Tumblr where we talk about Ateez (sometimes the internet and fandom functions like it was always supposed to).

It was extremely gorgeous and deserved a better photographer than me.

They just WIN at packaging and product branding because HOW CAN YOU RESIST?

They also had the most ridiculously charming bookmarks of all time, both in embroidered cloth versions and cardboard clip versions:

My haul, because I went a bit insane:

OK so, I asked the sellers if you could use the glittery inks with regular fountain pens, and they said they didn't recommend it. Oh well OK, so twist my arm, I guess I HAVE TO buy that glass dipping pen which looks like an evil fairy's favorite wand. Oh Boohoo me. I got Moby Dick, which understandably is an ocean blue that has streaks of darker navy but less understandably has gold glitter (Moby Dick does not put to my mind gold glitter, but the ink is undeniably gorgeous.) I also bought a couple Chinese fountain pens after hearing so much about them (they are on order) so i bought a non glittery ink. Of all the colors, I liked The Sorrows of Young Werther best, though I have to confess that I have not read that book.

I also bought a set of the paper bookmarks, as well as their little handy guide on how to be a fountain and dip pen user. And they sell this solution for making the glittery inks not dry up, I think, but you could sell me literally anything if you called it Swan Elixir. Because I bought such a big haul, they also gave me the embroidered ink wiping cloth, and I won a masking tape from the gacha pull, so I picked Anna Karenina. (Oh they also had masking tapes, but I have too many so I didn't really look).

I'm excited to learn how to use the glass dipping pen. :D :D :D

Grew up with stories from Journey to the West, so seeing this Wearingeul ink, I just had to get it 🐒 It's such a nice gold on red ink.

wearingeul - jane eyre

color: neutral-toned grape purple.

properties: little to medium shading, no sheen nor shimmer. medium to dry flow.

water-resistance: surprisingly, good enough!

this is such a beautiful purple ink. the flow of it makes it really nice for dip pens, but i kind of found it mid to use with fountain pens (skipping happens sometimes).

i'd still keep it, though, since the color is just too lovely, and i enjoy drawing with it whenever i use it with my dip pen!

wearingeul - hwanung

color: cloudy pastel blue

properties: little shading, no shimmer nor sheen, decent flow, not too wet, not too dry.

water-resistance: it may look like it survived here, but it's usually not water-resistant.

i tend to use light inks for journaling (i live with nosy people), and i got this for exactly that purpose, especially when used with my pilot kakuno (the M nib is very fine). it's a bit one-dimensional for my liking, though, so i don't think i'll be getting a full bottle of this.

The pen I got in tribute to Peter Steele! A TWSBI Eco fountain pen in Irish green with Onyx colored steel inked with wearingeul‘s Human Issues.
