i've spent the last year with green ink (iroshizuku in shin-ryoku) in a purple pen (the ohto dude, fine nib) and purple ink (iroshizuku in murasaki-shikibu) in a white pen (vintage pen, medium nib), and at today's blessed stationery store annual sale i treated myself to grey ink (iroshizuku in fuyu-syogun) and a green pen (lamy al-star, ultra-fine nib) and now. now i have the conundrum: do i continue being anti-conformist with what colour ink lives in what pen, or do i finally colour-coordinate? or do i go based on which colour i want to use with which nib size??

#GPOY #trying SO HARD not to be an acquisitive fountain pen bitch #but i learned how to write with a fountain pen so it's my go-to everyday writing implement AND i love pretty colours #and frankly changing inks is like a two-day process and who has the TIME #so one ink one pen it is...and that means...many pen...#also i refuse to get multiple converters for each pen and cleaning converters is a whole other ball game ugh #also YES i am an unapologetic iroshizuku adherent. when every ink works beautifully in any pen on any paper you don't need 700 colours
