superplannergirl@paradoxmo @penfount derp if I had just opened the thread, I would have answered my own question... in that case...
1. well... hmm... SUPERPLANNERGIRL of the Realm of Hobonichi. : )
2. to hang out with pen friends...
3. turquoise, teal, purple, blue... sometimes a nice dark green. (I have very little ink variety in my life- maybe need to fix this)
@penfount learning the ropes here- are we intended to reply with answers on this thread?

I know that’s not a real answer, but I can never choose
@paradoxmo @penfount I have this ink in my Lamy Dialog CC, but I think it has dried/concentrated because now when I write with it, it is SUPER slow to dry, like a sheening ink (worse than my actual sheening inks). Perhaps it’ll behave better in another pen.
@jezlyn how long has it been in there? You could always do a quick in-out dip in water and see if that fixes it
@paradoxmo Yup, I rinsed the nib and feed briefly then tested again and it seems better. I also saw that the converter is basically empty, so I guess the ink had dried and congealed in the feed. Oops. 😅 At least I can clean out the pen and refill with another ink now.
Dyed left hand@penfount
1. Dyed left hand, although funnily enough I don’t do that as much these days as compared to my pre fountain pen time
2. Hanging out with other pen people and hopefully still having a bank account at the end
3. If I had to choose I’d probably pick purple but I recently got my hands on a new blue I’ve really been liking and choices are hard
Write_knife_sew@penfount
1. write_knife_sew or like a decade ago on a game about ninjas, panegyrist
2. Pen interaction with lovely people who don't think I'm insane for spending this much on ink, paper and pens
3. Um. All? 🤦♀️ But purples, pinks, dingy olive and black are always inked. But I'm really freaking loving celadon cat.

@write_knife_sew @penfount Ninjas? I remember playing Puzzle Pirates...
Did you get / have you tried Sailor's Warning?
@paradoxmo @penfount
I *think* the online game was called Silent Murder. You had to hit F5 a lot to attack people, it has a room where everyone just like free-form typed? I drew/made a shit-ton of profile art for people. But, not like a moving picture video game like on the Wii.
Holy shit balls. I swear I'm not 87.
And yes to ink, but needs more shimmer to ink ratio. I should take away like half the plain ink. When it does its thing it is gorgeous.
@write_knife_sew @penfount re: Sailor’s Warning, that sounds awesome. They probably had to limit the amount of shimmer to have the ink flow properly. I think I will pick it up next time I go to my local pen shop
@paradoxmo @penfount it has way less particulate on the bottom after sitting compared to other Diamine shimmers. Maybe the, uh, sparkle dispenser was running low? Lol Either way, it is a pretty orange-coral, but when the light pink/sky blue shimmer hits, it is one of my favorite inks. No clue if this makes sense to anyone else- but it would fit perfectly in this paint job.
@write_knife_sew @penfount I’m just imagining what this “sparkle dispenser” looks like hahaha
@paradoxmo @penfount I'm hoping for fairy wand shaped.

Tallastro 🇺🇦@penfount
1. tallastro
2. I seek practical pens, inks, and papers. Not that I don't go for pretty but none that can't serve my writing needs. Like permanent or water resistant inks.
3. Hmm, blue. Branching out as I find cool colors that don't become illegible with water damage. Nahvalur's new inks are good. Rich color but leave a readable gray if the color gets washed away.

@penfount Cade and/or RusaPen is my name. My quest is to stop buying so many inks 😅 and my fave ink color is blue with purple coming in close second.
