#purple pens

[somethingusefulfromflorida]

I thought for sure the Pilot G2 would remain my favorite purple pen, but in terms of color it's actually my least favorite. It leans more towards red than blue, and even the cheap Bic ballpoint looks better on paper. In terms of how they all feel to write with, the G2 is my second favorite. I prefer gel pens over all else, and I'm most used to the way the G2 feels in my hand, but I just recently discovered the Pentel Energel, and it gets high marks across the board. It's nice and hefty without being expensive, it has a rich color, and it lays down ink very smoothly.

I've noticed that all the gel pens have the same problem. If I quickly draw a straight line, a bead of ink leaks out of the tip and splotches the paper (kinda looks like an arrowhead at the end of the line). This causes the ink to smear, and even though I'm right handed I still find my pinky and ring fingers covered in purple ink after writing more than a few lines with each. I guess gel doesn't dry fast enough.

The Papermate is nice and dark, but it doesn't last very long. All the other pens can be bought in bulk, but the Papermate only seems to come as a single in packs with other colors, and they run out of ink before you've even gotten into the groove of things. Either they don't hold as much or they lay down more than the rest, but the end result is an inferior writing experience.

The Bic is disposable while all the gel pens can be refilled. That said, I've only ever been able to find refills for the G2 in stores, and even then only in packs of two, so the manufacturers really want you to throw them away when they run dry.

The G2 is probably still my favorite overall because it's sufficient. It does what it needs to do with minimal downsides. It feels good in the hand and doesn't smudge as badly as the higher quality Energel, which makes up for the dull color. The Bic would fare much better if it weren't so cheap and flimsy. It looks good but feels terrible. If the Papermate lasted longer, it would eclipse the G2. Same for the Energel if it dried faster. All three gel pens are in the same league, none substantially better than the others, so it's all up to personal preference.

how does studying and general schoolwork feel so aesthetic yet sadistic at the same time?

i want to embody the nice imagery of a hardworking student but this assignment and criteria also makes me want to kill myself in theory.

however, i do think it’s quite endearing when my classmates frantically message out group chat at some ungodly hour of the night asking if our citations are supposed to be in apa or mla format.

i think they’re the ones,

who make it all worth it in the end.

Figured a fun way to do it would be in shades of Donnie so here's Mister Emotionally Unavailable from left to right:

Troublemaker Inks - Milky Ocean (I only included this one because it has a weird pink shading that makes it tend towards purple but it didn't show up too well here)

Birmingham Pen Co. - Huckleberry

Kala Nostalgia - Mongolian Sandstorm

Wearingeul - Verethragna

Wearingeul - Jane Eyre

Kala Gemstone Nostalgia - Star Garnet

Vinta Inks - Bodabil

Sailor Shikiori - Kazakiribane (weirdly showing more green sheening than Bodabil!)

Sailor Yurameku - Date Gokoro

Sailor Studio - 252

Ferris Wheel Press - Blushing Mushroom

aaand bonus Donnie sketches in the last ink, not that you can see the shimmer but I still like the color!

I made a few new wax seal stamps out of clay (like the ones I did for my worldbuilding stuff forever ago), this time just of random symbols that I thought might look good done in the style of painting over the raised part of the wax or etc. :0c Some of them aren't carved deep enough to really show up that well, but overall they worked okay for being clay lol

My man Dav did NOT need to make these two so bromantic brah anyway here’s an illustration redraw and other stuff (click images for better quality again I think)

Also I really really like @migorify ‘s captain furpants designs so I drew the George and Harold I hope it’s ok

TRADITIONAL ARTISTS! i wanted to make sure you guys know about erasable pens- not because pencils dont exist but because they ERASE WITH HEAT! so if you do a sketch in purple and ink it over in nice contrasting black so you're sure you got every line, you can hit that puppy with a heat gun for like 10 seconds and the sketch instantly vanishes

rebog to save a life etc 🙏
