Folx #onHere recommended that I get a Pilot Kakuno or Twsbi Eco as another starter fountain pen, thank you for that. I was meeting someone, an up-and-coming creator focused on journaling/arts, in person for the first time and coincidentally they were going to get something similar (though, for their purposes, it would be a "beater" pen, as they put it). We bonded a bit over the experience of trying out the different sizes of Eco, and I swapped pens with them in exchange for ink, given that I currently don't own any, and they have far too much. They were surprised at how much they liked a stubby/bold nib as an extra fine user, and conversely, I was surprised with how much I liked the fine as a bold user. The nib felt smoother than the Pilot Preppy and I think it will help to have lettering that doesn't take up as much space when minimizing the number of sheets in a letter. Filling the Twsbi's piston cartridge for the first time was fascinating. I also got a converter for the Preppy, per the other recs I got on here too! I do want to give it another chance.

More stickers today, FTW! 🙌

Also, my Kaweco Brass Sport is excellent to write with. It’s pleasantly heavy, as you’d expect from brass, but not too heavy. This is the heaviest pen I’ve used, and it gives the tip an extra weight on the paper that I’m starting to like.

(you know, I’m supposed to be studying…)
