#SEXY PILOT CUSTOM 823 IF I COULD HAVE ONE PEN FOREVER IT WOULD BE YOU

[celerydays]

could you walk us through what notebooks & journals & pens /etc you use - they look so good!

I would be SO happy to, you have no idea!!

Alright, let's fucking GOOOO~

Starting off with my current "workhorse" pens - I have like *checks notes* 36 fountain pens and a bit too many inked up atm, but these are just the ones I'm currently reaching for or have inked up more often than not:

TWSBI Go (F): Kinda ugly! But also kinda cute! It's cheap and works great (I friggin love TWSBI pens tbh) and it has a little hole on the cap where you can attach a lanyard or charms, like I did! Makes it cuter imo and it's kind of my emotional support pen these days.

Opus88 Pocket (EF): This 2022 edition has a little Moon tarot design on the cap so it's pretty much the pen I use exclusively for my witchy/tarot practice journals! A lil bummed the cap doesn't post, especially since its a shorter pocket-sized pen, but not a deal breaker and I still love it.

Pilot Custom 823 (F): My grail pen that I've literally coveted for years and just recently acquired at the DC Pen Show this weekend! It's only been a day but I think it could potentially become my favorite pen. Ever.

Pilot Prera (CM): This is my third Prera lol. I just think they're great and really underrated pens! Also a recent acquisition from the DC Pen Show and this cursive M nib is suuuuper fun to write with.

Pilot Vanishing Point (EF): My favorite pen for planning! Super fine-tipped for writing task lists and schedules and love that it's so convenient/quick-draw with the click mechanism.

(I'm totally a Pilot pen ho, can you tell? asdjflaglsg)

Journals/Planners/Notebooks under cut–

Sterling Ink B6 Common Planner: For a good chunk of this year, I was in this planner because I honestly love the size and all the layouts. Super practical and flexible as a system. 10/10 would go back. I've used it to plan, as a reading journal, as a tarot log...

But I get the itch to move around so it's been sitting a little unused since like June, oop.

Leuchtturm A6: I started craving something tiny and minimal so I've been bullet journaling in this pocket notebook for the last month or two and I'm really enjoying it!

Standard-sized Tomoe River Paper notebook: This is pretty consistent in that I don't change up the system itself, but I'm in and out of it for memory keeping/scrapbook journaling! It's almost always a Tomoe River paper notebook of SOME kind that I usually buy in A5 size to go to FedEx and get it cut down to standard. Though I'm thinking of getting a blank Midori MD A5 to have cut down next time - I've been liking the freedom of blank pages for journaling instead of anything lined or gridded.

I really need to catch up with it tbh, but I love sitting in an explosion of printed photos, stickers, and washi and going ham with the pages.

(I do have a flip through of my January-March 2022 pages on YouTube)

Midori MD Cotton B6 Slim: I also have this sketchbook that sorta turned into a visual sketch diary of sorts. I fell off a while ago but want to get back into it because it's super fun to work in and to look back on!

Wide-sized Cosmo Air Light notebook & A5 Filofax Malden: These are my tarot/witchy journals. Grimoires I guess? One is for journaling and all my messier notes while the other is more for reference and ease of organization.

A5 Leuchtturm: I didn't know if I should include this guy, but I've been writing it in a lot recently so I guess I will lol. This is like truuuly a miscellaneous™ notebook.

I got this A5 notebook back in 2017 to use as my very first bullet journal, then found out that this size is personally waaaay too big for me to use as a bullet journal so I hopped off of it pretty quick. It now sits on my desk because since it's mostly blank I'll just pick it up to use it to write literally A N Y T H I N G.

Most recently, I wrote like 5 pages in one night on notes for a fanfiction piece I was working on (I'm not a writer, this fic is never gonna see the light of day by anyone but me lololol. Hyperfixation is so wild; I've put 80k+ words within just 10 days into it so far and it's been hella therapeutic.)

That's all, I think!?

It's funny because I actually have a NEW notebook arriving tomorrow that I'm going to try out as a bujo/commonplace/omni journal of sorts?? I might write an update post after I've set that up and see how I like it <3

i bring today to you, which fountain pens do the ineffable husbands have and which fountain pens i would give them

aziraphale:

what pen he has: he would have a montblanc, bc even though there are cheaper pens that are way better than a montblanc, he likes to be fancy and expensive. uses black ink or a very dark blue. no iron hall ink bc he has seen what it does to paper.

what pen i would give him: a sailor 1911. great pen, gold nib, beautiful, and while it is expensive (for me at least) it’s less expensive than a montblanc, not that he cares but i feel like he rates quality by price and montblancs are way overpriced.

crowley:

what pen he has: he has a lamy 2000, good design, durable, good performance, looks pro and smooth. it’s a pen that’s made to be good and practical and that works for him. he didn’t think about it much tho. (he also has a montblanc aziraphale gifted him)

what pen i would give him: pilot custom 823, looks snakey, also great pen.

2023 part 2?

So fountain pens. While I really got into them in 2022, it was not my first foray into them. My first pen was a gift from an online friend way back in...2017? For my birthday. It was a Pilot Metropolitan and I immediately fucked it up, spilled ink everywhere. I was too dumb to look up how to properly fill it, though i am sure I messed up the nib as well. Since it was a gift it stayed in my room for several years until I threw it out one day, for a reason that cannot be remembered. We laughed at my incompetence and she wasn't angry, so that birthday managed to be memorable.

I don't even know what sparked my current interest in fountain pens. Think I was looking at ink drawings? and remembered these things existed and well I am firmly down the hole. I brought a lot of pens last year, trying out different filling methods or nib sizes, going for cool colours, you name it. Having disposable income for the first time and not knowing what to do with it may be a factor. Sure, I definitely do not need that many pens, but don't judge me. I sure as hell don't judge that one person who tosses in random kanji in their name or bio that is probably google translated, because to them Japanese is a fun aesthetic, not a language used and enjoyed by real people.

I mostly got the reckless spending out of my system, while there are many different inks and pens I still want to try out there's only so many I can use short term, so now the focus is on getting use of what I have and maybe selling/giving away a few. Improving my handwriting and learning cursive properly are also goals of mine, as it is very awkward trying to write a signature and only being able to make the l and t in my last name look pretty, a thing I only know from diving into the bottom of my memory containing a mental image of my mother's handwriting that can no longer be replicated.

Journaling! Right that's the main reason why I use my pens now. I've always written things down on random scrap sheets of paper as little reminders or to do lists — a habit that happens more often due to my grandmother's influence in recent years — so getting a proper journal only made sense. With fountain pens certain inks or nibs respond better on good paper, so that means I also invested in some notebooks. You can quickly see how this hobby can become a money sink if you really wanted to. Thankfully after trying out Rhodia and feeling dissatisfied, Maruman (a japanese brand) stopped my search for paper that suited what I like. I prefer spiral/ring notebooks the most so it was a double win, similar to [insert fighting game reference 0 people reading this would understand]

I lost my train of thought but it's okay, no one will read this. Here's a pen I brought in...(checks amazon purchases) October.

(yes that is my hand, those aren't scratches it's lint)

The very famous and popular Pilot Custom 823, with a broad nib. It is a vacuum filler — one of my fav methods of filling — and managed to grab it while yen was very, very low so it was around $192 with tax, when normally it would cost me around $220-280. My most expensive pen and probably will be for a very long time. It's funny cause when I first brought it I was like damn. This is kinda mid. Like when you watch that super popular anime that's airing, only to be bewildered at what all the hype is about. Now it's one of my favourite writers, the gold nib has a softness that is fairly unique, making writing with it a breeze as it floats over paper. Sometimes you just need to sleep on things. If it wasn't for the cost I would consider getting a second one, the amber colourway in particular is gorgeous.

Right now though I am interested in vintage pens, there is definitely something nice about holding something older than my grandparents and looking up it's history, and the time period around it.

(Not my image, credit goes to redeempens/will vintage on reddit) Today I got myself a WASP Clipper in this marvelous brown/gold pattern that is commonly called "circuit board" by collectors. It's a "lever filler", a filling method mostly absent from modern pens.

WASP is a sub-brand by famous pen manufacturer Sheaffer. WASP stands for "W.A. Sheaffer Pen", because why bother with subtlety. This pen was made sometime during the 1930s, cool stuff. Usually pens this old have the risk of having it's ink sac disintegrated, so you would have to repair it yourself or get someone to do it for you. Thankfully the pen I grabbed was already restored, so now I'm waiting on my package of ink to come in the mail to test this bad boy out.

Uhh okay this post was long so bye! This is barely 2023 related but that's what happens when you don't plan things out in advance. Here's a song from an album I've been listening to lately, Spirit World Field Guide by Aesop Rock

[ihatecispeople]

i have the brass kaweco and really love the nib and how it ages but it IS very heavy and small so sometimes it cramps my hand up so my eyes have been straying for a while to videos of people using the pilot custom 823 and it looks so comfortable and so luxurious and when i tried it at a fountain pen store in london the nib felt amazing against the paper and its probably the first fountain pen ive where id be fine getting it in black because of its ever so slight translucency but the amber also looks so so so gorgeous. i dream of this pen but alas. €300

#i love transparent fountain pens but honestly the japanese fully clear version isnt doing it to me. #like im not mad only the black and amber is on the western market. i want either or so bad #im making this post only for ONE trans woman mutual on here that i never talk to because shes the only one who i could also see #being into fountain pens. sorry the rest of u. ur irrelevant

Product review: Pilot Custom 823

[eggbunni]

Massive stationery porn photo dump of my current journals, new favorite pen with custom grind, and currently inked fountain pens.

I’m holding and using the Pilot Custom 823 in Broad which I purchased at the SF Pen Show just to have custom ground by @pactagon AKA Matthew Chen into a Cursive Italic, my newfound favorite nib grind! It just makes my writing look effortlessly stylish with a thick downstroke and thin cross-stroke, like a mini stub or italic that’s nice and smooth. I’m already planning out other pens in my collection I want to send to him just to get the same exact grind on every single one! 🥹

I purchased my Pilot Custom 823 in Amber from Flax Pen To Paper at the same show after Ryan (working at the both) showed me his in a medium. I had to have it! It’s a Vac filler and I was just so enamored that he kept his unprotected right in his front jeans pocket. It makes me want to take mine everywhere too.

The ink and paper I’m using are also both new and were purchased from Maido Stationery in San Francisco. They were handing out 20% off coupons at the show, so I paid the store a visit and spent way too much money 😂. It’s a pink (of course) Leuchtturm 1917 with ruled lining, and the ink is Diamine Warm Brown. I’m 100% going to pick up the 80ml bottle after I’m out of my smaller size! It has such amazing shading and is my new favorite brown! Perfect for fall!

Hope everyone is doing well. ♥️

Pilot Custom Urushi Review - Luxury Gift 2022

Pilot Custom Urushi Fountain Pen Review

Pilot Custom Urushi is the flagship of Pilot, featured with its size and ever-lasting design. This is our first ever new modern fountain pen review. Introduction Pilot, corporation in Tokyo, was founded in 1918. It is the oldest and largest writing instrument manufacturer in Japan. Pilot offers a wide range of writing instruments. And among these, Pilot’s Fine Writing Collection has been created in a culture that has revered the art of writing for over a thousand years. These exceptional writing instruments embody the essence of art, design, and quality craftsmanship. With unrivaled levels of beauty and creativity, Pilot Fine Writing instruments have secured their place as the preferred choice among pen enthusiasts and collectors. And Pilot Custom Urushi is the flagship model. Urushi Finish

pilot custom urushi fountain pen vermillion model

pilot custom urushi fountain pen vermillion gift idea "Urushi" is indeed the material made for the pen. It is a hand-made pen, which gives its extra highlight and rarity. The pen is crafted from Japanese ebonite and lacquered using only pure Urushi lacquer. The finish is so glossy. As per Pilot, Each Custom Urushi pen barrel is skillfully lacquered, cured and polished three times to create an exquisite finish in combination with luxurious custom gold elements. The Custom Urushi comes in two colors: black and vermillion red. Packaging

pilot custom urushi fountain pen vermillion paper The pen comes with an outer paper box, a hard case box with kind-of leather feel like paper box, instruction, guarantee, an ink cartridge, and of course the Pilot Custom Urushi Pen. We will say, for the pen at this high-end price, the packaging is a bit lower than expectation. We also offer Pelikan M400 pen, and Pelikan packaging is much more attractive with luxury leather pouch and hard case. Aesthetics We will say you will not be disappointed. It is such a fine, oversized fountain pen, with classic and elegant design. Pilot Custom Urushi Size  This is an oversize pen, and its hefty size is certainly one stand-out feature. The pen measures as large as 15.5cm (6.1in) closed. Bigger than a Montblanc 149, Pelikan M1000s, and Sailor KoPs, and with a similar sized barrel to the more expensive Emperor series from sister company Namiki, this is a pen that literally makes a big impression. Nib and feed

pilot custom urushi fountain pen vermillion gold nib

pilot custom urushi fountain pen vermillion feed Regal and refined with an oversized nib and barrel, the new Pilot Custom Urushi fountain pen boasts the new, two-toned nib size 30 made of 18-karat gold and rhodium. The impressive, new nib size is designed for maximum impact and is significantly more expansive than the size 15 nib of the Custom 823. Each pen is available in three nib points – fine, medium and broad. The nib size 30 is equivalent to nib #8, which is stunning. The pen bears a plastic feed, in grey color, which we think is a bit odd. It’s not a deal breaker at all, but it would have made the pen a little more premium. Filling system

pilot custom urushi fountain pen vermillion filler The Custom Urushi is a cartridge/converter pen. The pen ships with the Pilot Con-70 pump converter. It’s reliable and holds a decent amount of ink. You can also use ink cartridge; and one is included in box. Writing Of course, with any fountain pen, how it writes is the most important thing. The springiness and bounce to the nib made sweeping cursive feel like a dream. It is a smoother writer, no argue. The kind of smoothness where you feel nothing. Conclusion We would highly recommend this pen, if you’re looking for a quality urushi pen that will serve you well as an everyday workhorse. In fact, for an urushi pen of this size, especially with a large nib, with such an excellent writing experience, you could argue that worthy choice, a Pilot pen offering all the elegance and superb quality.

#please somebody tell me no #I'm staring longingly at a pilot custom 823 and they're. not cheap #i already have fountain pen(s) #i don't need it #but

[neil-gaiman]

Hi Mr.Gaiman, I’ve been looking into fountain tip pens and I came across the Pilot Custom 823 and, in a video I was watching about the pen, it was said that the Pilot is your everyday pen of choice. I was just wondering if that’s true and if so, could you give your opinion on the pen? Thank you! ☺️

It's my pen of choice for signing books or sheets of paper with. It's not actually pen of choice for writing things with. It's a workhorse pen that just keeps going and that you can sign millions of times with, without skipping or being temperamental. You have to remember to screw and unscrew the tip, though.
