Japan has ALL the cutest pens I swear 😫

Yay! I’d like to try to get to the Chicago pen show some year. Sounds like a ton of fun!

Instagram is a trap, I follow too many pen people on there and see all the releases 😭 it’s too tempting! Trying my best to resist most of them…

Ooh nice! How was scriptus? Hopefully super fun!

Platinum and Pilot are KILLING IT right now, just… so many gorgeous LEs. Need them to slow it down a bit lmao

Yeah I already have a ton of ink and way too many pens, so the temptation is less than in previous years for me. (Except for the Estie prototypes that dropped this morning. 😅)

I’m generally more into Japan exclusives right now. Plus… *gestures broadly in the direction of DC*

Is it just me, or are the sales feeling lackluster this year? Meh.

Yay! I have the grape purple one and a light blue, both with EF nibs, and I LOVE them for pigment inks. I’ve had carbon black and seiboku in them all year and they still start up flawlessly every time.

Nice score! Why won’t they make more colors in the minis 😭

Yeah the lavender Nagasawa that just came out with sparkles has me like 👀

Also the new witchy Ancora PGS, the color is plain but the engraved nib and the book of shadows finial 🫦

😭

Mood! The translucence is so pretty 🥹 but I can’t pull the trigger on it because there are SO many pens I want coming out soon that I can’t decide ugh.

It’s so good!! I haven’t even used up my 30ml bottle and already bought an 80ml one as backup LOL

The bell 😂

Insert sowing vs. reaping meme here 🥲
