New notebook, new pen, same Tolkien obsession.

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.

happy belated fountain pen day 😁😁😁..!

i went to the empire state pen show last month and got a vintage montblanc meisterstuck classique 144 (woof! a mouthful...) with a 14k gold nib. i was hoping to find a vintage fountain pen that wasn't prohibitively expensive so i was super satisfied. the vendor i bought it from had recently restored it and said it was from the late 80s/early 90s. it's probably the best pen i've ever written with -- super smooth and soft :))) i paired it with the lovely j. herbin vert de gris

i also pre-ordered the pilot custom 74 in the us exclusive lavender fog colorway and completely forgot about it until weeks after the pen show so i came home one day to another fountain pen. i considered returning it but the nib is a soft fine (a nib size i normally don't see around) and the lavender is so pretty compared to my demonstrator pilot custom 74 so i decided to keep it <33

(Currently filled with Diamine ‘Foreverink’ in Raven permanent ink - yes, you can put it in a FP!) 🖋️
