Week 25 in my Hobonichi Weeks. Things I remember from Dune: Timothée Chalamet rode a worm & Austin Butler licked a knife.

Writer AU in which Li Xiangyi disappeared under suspicious circumstances before he could finish the long-running series that made him famous. 10 years later, rival writer Di Feisheng discovers him living as Li Lianhua and follows him around demanding he finish writing his story.

Fang Duobing has written all kinds of fanfic about the series but nothing post-canon because he insists that Li Lianhua is alive and will finish the story one day, with the proper ending he's definitely had planned from the start.

LLH actually has no freaking idea how the story ends.

December means that I panic and buy/set up a whole new planner I wasn’t originally intending to for the new year 🥴

This is such a great blog post! I love the idea of having matching inks per the months colored tabs/headers.

They also have one for gel pens and fineliners. Link is below ⬇️

Yeah, so I’m most of these but my BIGGEST sin accumulating stickers and washi because I’m too hesitant to use the pretty ones (I’m saving them for a ‘special/nice’ spread but nothing is worthy enough to use them on) 🙃

Okay I guess I'll be using my MacBook to post on Tumblr from now on since the app on my phone is super temperamental... honestly though I don't mind too much!

How was the paper?

aaaaaaaaaaaaa thanks for asking! (for folks who don't know, stationary drama is afoot and folks are freaking out over bad paper they paid a lot of money for) I did a test on my hobonichi cousin A5 2025...there was no feathering which I was most worried about (feathering just kills the enjoyment of fountain pen writing and most cheaper planners/paper feather)

thankfully it looks like no feathering is happening and it seemed like most of the ink properties were coming through. notably the sailor ink amamoyoi (the first one from the top) has its lovely dark faded green shifting into pink properties, and the lamy dark lilac (second ink) seemed to have its green sheen intact (hard to take a picture that captures that green sheen in particular). After a few days though (I kept looking at the new page and comparing it to my current Cousin 2024 paper) I was worried about the third and fourth inks...none of their sheen seemed to be coming through. But was I writing too quickly because I was stressed/hopeful?? So the ink couldn't pool and sheen like it normally does??

Sooooo before answering this ask I went ahead and skipped ahead to like a May page and tried it again, and forced myself to write slower.

Once again, hard to get pictures to really show the sheen properly but the night time soda (third ink) and lady emerald (fourth ink) did have their purple and red sheen come through properly (thank gawd).

it's really too bad about the sanzen tomoe river paper being so inconsistent. I still don't have any other notebook/planner that seems to come close to highlighting fountain ink properties as well, even if they purport to use the same source of paper. It must be something about how hobonichi manufactures and treats the paper for the magic to happen, I suppose. Still, if this inconsistency keeps up it's just too stressful to spend this much money and not know what you're going to get. I'll probably switch to something else for 2026, and I won't be picking up anymore hobonichi notebooks/planners either. (please imagine that I'm saying the lasts two paragraphs like a Victorian gentlemen, discussing these matters of great importance with my fellows at one of those gentlemen clubs full of cigarette smoke, I've got a forlorn look on my face and I'm letting out huffs and sighs every few words as I look off at the distance, distracting myself from my important woes with another beautiful man's visage)
