Sending another ask because I can't comment!
I agree, pilot metropolitans are great! I got one for my partner and he loves it. However, I don't like it for myself, because they are quite heavy (metal) and my hand gets tired if I write too much at once. If you already have a metal pen or mechanical pencil you're probably used to the weight so it would be okay for you.
I really like the pilot plumix pen, I got 5 of them xD they are a funky shape (the cap looks like a lil squid!), come in different colors and are see-trough, so you can actually see how much ink you have left. They usually come with an italic nib, but you can find "normal" ones too. Despite their look and price, they're really durable- I've had one of mine for over a decade now (since I was 12?), and the only difference is that it's not as shiny/polished anymore.
Pilot kakuno is similar, different look but also clear barrel. Basically any pilot should work well for you:)
TWSBI eco is a really cool pen that I haven't got myself because people *have* complained about theirs cracking/breaking. I'd get one if you can get it cheap, otherwise I'd skip it.
Platinum preppy is a great budget pen that you can eyedrop-meaning you can just pour the ink into the body and use it that way. It holds a ton of ink and looks cool doing that.
If you'd like to splurge a lil bit more and get a really interesting pen in return, I'd recomment moonman a1 or a2. They are *so cool*, because they don't have a cap but a clicking mechanism like a ballpoint pen would have. I've had mine for over a year now, write with it every day and it hasn't failed me yet. If you don't care about the clip I'd get the version without tho, since mine is annoying sometimes.
Hope this wasn't too much all at once! If there's anything else you'd like to know feel free to ask:)
Ohhhhh this is a good addition to the comments on the other ask. A lot of good things to keep in mind!

Si eres de usar pluma fuente, te sugiero usar convertidor. Con éste evitarás la tiranía del cartucho y cargarás la cantidad de tinta, del color y de la marca de tu interés. En este caso miras la plumilla de la Plumix junto con el cargador de la marca japonesa Pilot.

Pretty Purple Pens 🖋💜
Tumblr media
Here is most of my fountain pen collection 🖋 Can ya tell what my favorite color is?? 😱😂
From left: TWSBI Eco (M), Monteverde Monza 3 (M), Platinum Plaisir Amabie edition (F), Platinum Preppy (F), Pilot Plumix (M), and Pilot Metropolitan (F).
My favorites in order:
TWSBI Eco
The Eco is a banger 💣 it has good looks, personality, and it writes smooooth as buttah. It looks very modern but has an updated, yet old school filling mechanism which I appreciate. It's a juicy, inky pen-just the way I like 'em! It reminds me of the Pilot V7s that I have been using for YEARS (still my favorite non-fountain pen, hands down 👌🏾). I really like the piston filling mechanism vs using converters. It's definitely convenient not having to take apart the pen to fill it. It also holds a shitton more ink to boot. I'm a lazy bitch so it means that I can go longer in between fillings �� The M nib let's down a fat, juicy line and I'm so excited to use it with a shimmery ink ✒
I'm really obsessed with this pen model and I have decided to collect all the special edition colors that catch my eye. I already have two more Ecos on the way! Expect more in-depth reviews of the Eco soon 🤑
Platinum Plaisir
The Plaisir is such a beautiful pen that's suspiciously cheap! (I got it on sale for $17) It's actually tied for 2nd place with its even cheaper sister, the Preppy ($4) in terms of quality and bang-for-your-buck 💵 For a F nib (they have the exact same nib), they write smooth with little to no scratchiness or skips (which I appreciate) and even though I write bigger than what the nib calls for it still makes my writing look good. They also don't bleed through on cheap paper, which is mostly what I use 👌🏾
The pearlescent aluminum finish is sleek, expensive looking, and apparently scratch resistant; I appreciate the latter attribute since I'm a fucking klutz. The Platinum pens also have a special mechanism in the cap that prevents the nibs from drying out from disuse for at least a year! That's good enough reason to keep them in my rotation. The regular version has a M nib (which I prefer), so I'm going to pick it up in the future.
Platinum Preppy
The Preppy was my second fountain pen! It was the one that really made me fall in love with using them vs my rollerball/ballpoint pens! (I've talked about why that is in the Plaisir section above). It’s a cheapie, and it looks/feels like it. It stays in my pen rotation mostly because of the Violet cartridge it came with. I'm in love with the ink color! They don't make it in bottled form, sadly 😔 but I don't mind buying more violet carts for it... It's that good. The carts are also usable in the Plaisir, which is a nice bonus for me 😄 The only drawback is it only comes in either EF or F nibs, and I really prefer M to write with 😔
Pilot Metropolitan
The Metropolitan is a great pen. It's just kinda... Boring. I like the design and it writes nice and smooth, but I guess my boredom comes from the basic ass black ink in using with it. I love purple ink, but I figured I need at least one grown up ink color on hand in case I need to adult... Whenever that'll be 🤷🏾‍♀️ I do use it from time to time just to keep the ink flowing from the cart installed. I'm still debating whether to keep it my "boring ink pen" or put something more exciting in to inspire me to use it more.
Pilot Plumix
The Plumix is a pretty unique looking pen but it feels cheap. It's not a bad pen; it's just that it came with a *shudder* basic ass blue cart instead of the purple I was expecting. I'm going to turn it into an eyedropper once I get around to it, and then I'll do a more in depth review with it. I haven't used it beyond a few doodles to test and see if it worked after I installed that blasé blue cartridge.
Monteverde Monza 3
Last, but not least... The Monza is a decent pen. It came with 3 nib pieces (F, M, Omniflex) that you can install so it's like having 3 pens in one, which is definitely unique. It currently has the M nib installed ✒ It's a smooth wet writer that I actually enjoy using. My problem with the pen?
I was cheated, tricked, bamboozled.
Apparently it's just a rebranded Jinhao 992 with the additional nibs/converters thrown in and marked up 12x the price. I didn't find that out until after I got the pen and I was hunting for in depth tips and tricks 😤 Maaaan I was so upset! I literally could have bought a 6 pack of them for $12 on Amazon, and even cheaper on Alibaba or eBay! Ugh 😥 But it taught me a valuable lesson: do 👏🏾 your 👏🏾 research 👏🏾 diligently before buying a new fountain pen. I'm lucky I've had no issues with it, but the betrayal has left a bad taste in my mouth so I don't think I'll ever buy another Monteverde pen.
I have nothing against cheap Chinese pens (I own a few and love them) but I knew what I was getting into and adjusted my expectations accordingly (and paid a lot less for them 😒)

Dark Academia On A Budget
STATIONERY
A fountain pen in the budget range, like a Platinum Preppy, Pilot Varsity/Vpen, Pilot Plumix, Jinhao 51A or Jinhao X450. None of these pens should cost more than £5-7.
A bottle of 30ml Diamine ink, or 50ml if you feel like splurging a little. 30ml - £4, 50ml - £10.
A blunt needled syringe for re-filling the fountain pen. Might not be needed depending on the pen.
Off-brand craft paper post-its/sticky notes. £1-4 depending on size.
Any graph/lined paper of your choice, most papers should work for fountain pen ink.
BOOKS
Borrow from your local library and read everything you desire for free.
Browse for free e-books and pdfs in this post if you don’t mind reading on a screen.
Frequent your local thrift shops/second hand stores to find the most beautiful old books.
Purchase pre-owned books from online stores like ebay and depop.
Borrow and swap with friends.
Write down the more expensive books on your wish-list for birthdays and Christmas if your family do that sort of thing.
Dig through the clearance stacks at your local bookshops.
CLOTHING
Thrift shops/second hand stores will be your best friend for good quality, often vintage, pieces to slowly add to your curated wardrobe.
Ask your parents and grandparents if they have some old clothes that you can look through and take the clothes you like.
Purchase second hand clothes on ebay, depop and similar online stores.
Go through the clearance racks at your favourite clothing stores, and make it a habit to occasionally enter the more expensive stores because you never know if they have a sale that’ll bring the price down to more reasonable levels.

The problem with the Pilot Plumix or Pluminix (we can also probably include the Penmanship) is that their sections are poorly constructed. It seems to be made-up of two parts: the one you hold and the inner sleeve/part where the feed fits by friction and your cartridge can be pushed on. Somewhere between the two is a problem that allows ink to seep through between them and since there's no way to disassemble the two without destroying the pen, you're stuck with this unsightly thing. Flushing and soaking does not work.
