Unleashing the black flames of anger, here's Bennu Kagaho for the SSZ Fanzine Underworld, @saintseiya-zone, this time focused on the warriors of Hades. It was a fun challenge, and I feel like I did learn a thing or two in the process. And while I don't really like most of the Specters and they aren't my favourite Saint Seiya army as a whole, I was glad to be able to pick Kagaho, because he's among those I like the most. Felt a bit refreshing to do something different from my usual stuff. Kinda wished I had the time and energy for a second entry, but oh well. Better do one thing good instead of two and rushing them, with bad results, or not get one or both done in time.

The Benu bird and the Ba bird.

The Benu is a bird associated with the god Ra and the moment of creation. It's usually brownish gold in colour and looks a little like a heron.

The Ba bird is the form a person’s soul takes after death. It has the body of a bird, but the head of the person who died. This depiction probably shouldn’t be taken literally, but rather descriptively, since it encompasses the idea that soul keeps all the traits and character of the deceased person, but is free to fly beyond the body.

Paintings from the tomb of the artisan, Amennakht, at the village of Deir el Medina.

Fountain Pen Review: Benu Bush Viper Fountain Pen

I love my silly, punk rock Benu Skull & Roses Fountain Pen that I was thrilled to grab one of the Benu Viper Fountain Pens in “Bamboo Viper” ($180) , especially in this Spooky Season. It’s a black pen with an embossed, snake wrapped around the barrel with a beautiful shimmery green iridescent color in the scales of the snake. There are also versions called the Mangrove Viper (green-blue pen body…

How’s your Hobonichi 5-Year Techo journaling going? ✒️ I look forward to updating mine every day. Just having an excuse to play with my fountain pens and stationery supplies makes it worth it. Heh. TGIF!

The Goddess' Lyrebirds -- ;;

In the days before the Goddess rended the land to save her people from Demise, it was common practice for young women with any type of natural talent for magic to give their lives to the church as a "Lyrebird". This was typically poor women who wanted to provide for their families-- but it could be noble women as well who for varying reasons decided to join the church. The church made sure to provide and protect the family of women who decided to become lyrebird's, and so it became a reliable avenue for them.

Once one decided to become a Lyrebird you were stripped of your name and given a new one-- typically bird related. While you weren't forbidden from seeing your family or acquaintances, there was no guarantee you'd ever see them again depending on where you were sent.

A Lyrebird was essentially a wandering priestess with magical talent who's duty it was to protect and serve the Land of Hylia. They were well educated, and taught to fight so that they may tackle any problem presented to them. However, Lyrebirds were more than just simple wandering priestesses. They were as the name suggests, "liar birds". Fakes. Mimics, stemming from a belief that the Goddess walked among them, and by acting as fakes they could keep danger away from the Goddess.

Once Demise invaded the land though, they were all slaughtered, and while few records remained of the practice, it was never resumed after Hylians returned to the land

what's good about a pilot falcon?

HI! The Pilot Falcon (older generations were sold in the US as the Namiki Falcon for whatever reason) is a japanese fountain pen manufactured by Pilot!

it's often referred to as the best modern flex pen, or the best gold nib for a beginner! Tldr for people who aren't pen nerds, a flex pen is a pen that...well, flexes! Most pens have some sort of "flex" to them that results in some sort of line variation, but flex pens can handle a relatively higher amount of pressure. Think like a G nib used in a lot of manga. Old pens were the MASTERS at this, and a good bit of that is due to the nibs being made of gold, which naturally has a "bounce" to it that modern steel nibs have a really hard time living up to. Most people wax poetic about Waterman or other vintages like that because of it. Even modern gold nibs can't really keep up with the gold nibs of yore, but the Falcon is considered to be one that can. I do think legally it's considered a "soft" nib, meaning it's not truly a flex pen but has a lot of flex qualities to it, but some terms that get used are used interchangably so. idk. True flex nibs aren't really a thing in fountain pens these days outside of Noodler's Ahab and Konrad (which are their own nightmare and a half tbh).

The Falcon prized amongst artists for it's very fine nib, which Japanese pen manufacturers like Pilot and Platinum are known for. A Japanese Fine is comparable to a Western (Kaweco, Lamy) Extra fine, and a lot of these pens come in an EF, F, and M. It gets alot of nice line variation despite being so small, and is really an all-around great pen, if legend is to be believed :] An alternative to buying the Pilot Falcon would be getting the Pilot 912 FA, which has something called the "Falcon Nib," not to be confused with the actual pen. They actually look pretty different. The FA nib (right) has these weird cuts on their side that help with flexing and allow it to mimic a full-flex nib, but again. According to legend, modern pens don't flex like vintage pens do, but it IS pretty close.

(sources mentioned in alt text)

I've never used either myself, but I'm pretty picky about my pens and so I don't know if I'd ever pay upwards of $200 unless I got familiar with the nib first tbh....The falcon's nib isn't offputting to me like many feel about it, but I'm particular about aesthetics and the feedback on paper and I can't tell if I like them just from looks alone lol. Right now, I don't have much experience with pilot nibs, but if i were to get a pilot pen, tbh I'm looking at the Pilot Elite/e95s in a fine or medium, or a vintage platinum pocket pen.

Anyways that's that and this is also that. *twirls so elegantly and then collapses onto the ground in slapstick fashion*
