Uh oh just realised this coat on sale I keep getting ads for reminds me of a coat Marianne Faithfull wore once ...........
#My inability to not buy everything that comes remotely close to her............#I am being tested#If i buy another jacket or coat my mum will disown me#I have like 15!#!!!#And ESPECIALLY useless (say: not waterproof) coats!!!

Finally took the wheelchair for a spin and I probably should have much sooner. The biggest difference I noticed was that my legs didn't hurt. Also that having my eyeline significantly lower didn't bother me as much as I thought it might. Biggest thing was being mindful of my turn radius. And remembering that I need to use the breaks when I'm not on carpet.
Went to the art store for the first time in years. Got some ink for refilling my brush pen. I want to use it more and I didn't want to have to fuck with the refill cartridges or worry about running out of ink. Preliminary testing looks promising, but it's going to be a while before it will actually need refilling. I'm going to try and spend some more time laying some ink down in my sketchbook.
#i think i reached 6 foot by like 12 years old or something i haven't been this short in a while#using my legs is so much worse#still kind of want to ramp it#I'd settle for going down a hill#i did some research and settled on trying rapidograph ink for the brush pen since they don't tell you what's in there.#it should be waterproof and as dark as i want while not clogging the fountain pen situation going on in the brush.#I've done some testing and it looks and behaves close enough to the ink already in the brush pen that i can't tell them apart#so that's great#i might do some comic adjacent artwork#comic strips is like where cartoon imagery came from more or less#i guess it makes sense I'd enjoy that sort of look#i should actually try and read Pogo sometime I've had my drawings compared to Walt Kelly before#seems like something worth being influenced by i know it's a good place to absorb technique#it's evaded me this far#except for that chuck jones special#and there was a stop motion adaptation of pogo for president that puzzled the hell out of me as a child for some reason#had no idea it was from a newspaper comic

A mutual acquaintance wants to try getting one of those fancy pens, got any suggestions for newcomers?
Absolutely!
Despite me always pining for the super pricy fancy pens, some of the best pens you can own imo are less than $20 USD off the bat, and while the "nicer" ones out there are. over that price, you don't really need that to get a really good first experience. I'll offer some super easy pens, some more intermediate pens, and some inks! This is going to be a long ride, so buckle up!
If you don't know where to start and are intimidated by bottled ink and instead want a pen that can write right away, I recommend the Pilot Varsity! You can get them at Michaels here in the US, and theyre slowly becoming more popular in retail shops like Walmart.
Classic steel nib, not much flex because it's steel, but it writes pretty sturdily. I really like that it comes in different colors. They're disposable, so if you don't like them then you dont gotta keep 'em, and if you bust the nib by accident (we all have at least once), you aren't going to have to sell a kidney to replace it like you might need to with pricier pens.
If you want a pen you can put ink cartridges into, or just want a good workhorse of a pen, i HIGHLY recommend the Platinum Preppy. The one I own was $14 USD and came with a cartridge of water soluble black ink. For $4 USD, I got 4 cartridges of Platinum's Carbon Black ink, which is waterproof and smooth! Very versatile!
I REALLY like this one. Ive never had the ink dry out even when i had tucked away for like a month, and if you ever want to use it with bottled ink, you can get a Platinum converter and use whatever fountain pen safe ink you dream of :] This pen only comes in F as far as I know (which is a western EF), but the chinese market has a version called the Platinum Meteor that comes in EF and has a cute shooting star on the nib :] Back when I started writing this I had lost mine for like a month but just found it and it wrote just fine the second i opened it up. The only thing I DISLIKE is that the converter cartridges are sold separately and you HAVE to buy platinum brand for this pen. I already have two bc of my other platinum pens, but. Yanno. Its still annoying to HAVE to do that.
Similarly, the Kaküno is fantastic! all the above statements, but it has the added benefit of having a cute face on the nib as well as some cute collabs sometimes :] They're also about $14-$16 USD. They take Pilot cartridges in various colors, which are $3-$4 USD and Pilot converters.
I highly recommend the platinum preppy for the full fountain pen experience! It's not mega-expensive as pens go, so if you dont like it you havent sunk hundreds of dollars into a tool.
Lamy is having quality control issues that no one seems to want to contest because of their popularity, and the recent "no bro its totally the same color as the old popular one trust me" ink fiasco. TWSBI is another brand thats normally recommended and while theyre good pens, theyre shitheads as a company and like to use their muscle to bully both retailers and also smaller pen companies. I dont recommend either brand right now.
NOW, ONTO INK AND PAPER:
Your nib, paper, and ink are pretty important. fountain pens dont like rough paper, but they handle it better the larger they are (M, B). Dry inks will not always play nice in fine pens (Ef, F), and an EF pen will eat the shit out of rough paper and can get clogged. If you can get your hands on Rhodia paper to practice, good! If not most sketchbooks will tolerate F pens in my experience. Stillman and Birn are my workhorse sketchbooks and the pens work fine in all of their paper styles, but Hobby Lobby's sketchbooks also handle it well, as do BLICK's colorful leather sketchbooks. Don't Buy Moleskine. If you want to get really good ink effects (ie, you bought an ink with glitter or it has some cool effect like sheening or shading), tomoe river paper is hailed as the gold standard, but you can get similar effects on Rhodia or Clairfontaine paper, which afaik is easier to get ahold of overseas (cant speak for other countries on the US continent, but I will say I saw more clairfontaine in france than here on the us).
NOW FOR INK. my favorite part :] :
For both Waterproof and Black ink, i recommend Platinum's Carbon Black. I think it's pigment-based, unlike most dye-based inks, so it can be tough to clean out of your pen if it dries, but its noting a lil soap and water cant fix :3 It's benefit is that it comes in cartridges usable with platinum pens, so you dont need a whole bottle if you dont want one.
For color inks, I really like Pilot's Iroshizuku line. It is a WET ink and is not waterproof, but they come in cool bottles and pretty colors. I own Ajisai, Shinkai, and samples of Momiji, Murasaki Shikibu, Chikurin, Kosumosu, and Asagao. I use them both to sketch AND to color things and write. My workhorse non-waterproof color, the one i draw most in, is the Sailor Studio 343, but the sailor manyo line is also great! If you like and/or miss scented inks, De Atramentis has a line of them!
Be careful with inks that have glitter. I own the J. Herbin Emerald of Chivor and its glorious but if you leave it in your pen...thousands soaks hell attack. That being said if it would entice you, treat yourself to a fun and shiny ink! I have Colorverse Scorpii Glistening and its really pretty! Diamine has an excellent range that are easier on your pen but I dont have experience with them ngl.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHOULD YOU BUY ANYTHING FROM NOODLERS. aside from having a shithead of a company leader, their inks are actually pretty volatile and can blow up both vintage and modern pens and im speaking from experience even though I used to use their eel bulletproof black and a waterproof blue one. I ended up using the blue ink to dye a cu chulainn wig darker for a wip alter cu cosplay. the last ink i bought, Tchaikovsky, also had a strange and suspicious stank about it.
Buying inks in bottles can be super expensive, but Goulet Pens sells 2ml samples that you can buy a shitload of and try them all out! I try to get new samples on the rare occasion when i need a new bottle of my favorites :> I'll probably buy a full bottle of Sailor Nekoyanagi, Pilot Iroshizuku Chikurin, or Diamine Writer's Blood next.
I hope this helps! I had to edit it a few times over the course of the past few weeks bc i went on an entire tangent about bootleg pens I like and uh. realized thats both overly complicated for the base question/bootleg pens tend to need tweaking to work nice. that being said, i'll say it quickly: buying lil nibs from aliexpress has actually worked pretty well for me n my tswbi knockoff (lanbitou 3059) has a fude nib i got that's bent to allow brushlike strokes! but I donmt recommend it for a first pen bc it required some grease and a nib tweak upon purchase and dries p easily bc of the cap.
#SO SORRY THIS TOOK FOREVER I DIED BUT I GOT A LITTLE BETTER!#going though all my inboxes now and. eeheh ive got srt to draw now...#not art#tldr. buy platinum preppy. get ink samples from goulet pens and a platinum converter OR#get a platinum refill cartridge of the carbon ink#waterproof isnt importsnt if you dont use watercolors and gouache like i do i suppose. hur i can confirm it stands up to HEAVY water abuse#thanks for the ask!#for paper rhodia seems to be most accessible. tomoe paper hard to buy. i still dont own any...#BUT i got a clairfontaine notebook for pen testing from goulet a while ago

Got some new makeup yesterday which means doing my makeup, sitting in the living room with it on for a while, then removing it 😂
#the eye makeup is Shop Miss A's AOA graphic liner in ''Why Not''#I also have it in ''Hey You!'' which is a light green and I love it#I also used the AOA waterproof makeup sealer since these eyeliners tend to flake over time#the cheek tint is a product I tested for money and I'm legally not allowed to disclose what it is 😂#the lipstick is the same legally protected tint#with the Loreal Infallible Les Chocolat lipstick in ''Box of Chocolates''#which is my number one favorite lipstick it's comfy and stays on forever and smells like chocolate#I'm also wearing mascara but frankly i don't remember what it's called and it's not that special#is my face

um. hello 0.0
uhhh i just wanted to say im a huge fan of how you use watercolour it looks very pretty and ur art is so wonderful to see
do you have any tips with watercolour? like how to layer the colours to look nicer. or just getting neat lines when lining, my hands are a little shaky so its kind of hard sometimes
ty for ur time ur very very cool >~<
ty !!!!! :DDDD
for watercolor tips my best bet would be to wait for it to mostly dry before you layer and if you're extremely impatient like me then skip around areas that aren't touching so you don't have colors bleed into another . also base colors will most likely look bad but once you add more you'll be fine- and if you have a hairdryer then use it , use a higher heat but less power so you don't blow it across the whole paper sjkdfhgkljdgf (and also more pigment is easier for layering because you can blot it away with a paper towel if there's too much)
for lining i struggle with the same thing- typically for lining anything i make really fast strokes or i do a sketchy-type thing just really clean . going fast with little lines usually is the way to go with shaky hands
i use tube watercolors but they're very similar to pan ones imo !!!! i use master's touch ones which are p generic brand (i think) but any works . also make sure to use actual watercolor paper (or at the very least multimedia) it works better
thank you for the ask :DDDD
#and with the shakiness issue#you can also combat the shakiness if you know how#although that requires knowing where it comes from#but for me it usually means that i'm out of the house or that i haven't had enough water or food#so keep a snack and water next to you if that's the case with you#that doesn't completely stall my shaky hands though but it brings them to a point where it's mostly not noticable#and also test your pens to see if they're waterproof before you paint something#and remember you don't have to watercolor with lines i do lineless a lot#greatdetectivesaturn#asked box

Although a chronic insomniac, Muu also has maintained an unrelenting fear of the dark over the years. Hence why not only is his room filled with quite the abundant array of nightlights of varying sizes and styles, he also prefers to aim for slumber at as early as 9pm in the evening as a means of existing under the stars as limited in quantity as possible.
Additionally aimed to provide him comfort, he routinely shares his bed with both his dog, and his most beloved stuffed animals. Including that of a very well loved hedgehog plush in particular named Aime Jr, a posable yellow bear from Ikea, and many, many others. It is actually more surprising how he fits onto his own bed more than anything else. If at all inquired as to why so many in the first place, his answer is quite consistently an admittance that he is aiming to not be seen by an intruder, or monster, no matter how rare it would be for one to enter his home just in general.
#; ♡ ; headcanons#comparatively his insomnia has deeply reduced itself this go around on tumblr versus the few years back#he used to ruminate for hours and barely get any rest in#but now he only does it when he is suddenly stirred awake by otherwise natural forces#so instead of having the can't fall asleep variety he is presently the can't stay asleep one#but thankfully even then it is less going down the anxious rabbit hole that is questioning his every decision that keeps him awake#it is the unfavorable habit of making up situations in his head to test how he would respond to them regardless of how impossible#such as made up fights between himself and friends as well as assaults not at all likely for any number of reasons#Eventually i will once again have to give a detailed description of his bedding on this blog#such as what favorite Fandoms are represented in the bedspread and of what layers of products he uses to have optimal comfort#including the inclusion of a waterproof mattress cover in between some of these said layers as more of a protective measure#since muu did use to and I say USED TO experience bedwetting as an adult due to high subconscious stress levels#not something that occurs nowadays at all really but the precaution is set all the same

Test How Waterproof My Vinyl Stickers are with Me!
I had tested the sams sticker like five times before making this video. Have to say I was pretty satisfied that the sticker didn't smudge or get water underneath, or start peeling away from the cup ♥︎

— Ursula K. Le Guin, from “A Rant About ‘Technology’”
#personally find lower tech or older things more satisfying to have tbh#went out of my way to waterproof my canvas jacket with a block of wax instead of a can with some kind of silicone stuff in it#taking care of my boots is meditative#same with my knife#carbon steel is tried and tested for centuries and it's just nice seeing an object you use change over time and just taking care of it
