My current pencase is very blue. There's space for a notebook but I don't (yet) have a notebook that fits.

Troublemaker Into the Depths
This is a deep midnight blue with dark copper sheen. This kind of sheen is a bit unusual on blues and it's quite striking—this color sheen is usually seen on reds or purples.
I had kind of pegged Troublemaker as a company that makes light multishaders but I guess they have a bit of range as well!
I think this might be good in one of my EF pens.
Picture me, a person who likes #FountainPens, and likes to look at fountain pens for sale online.
I have spent months of my life trying to figure out why in god's name I constantly see listings from Japanese sellers where the title or description includes the word "Snubbull."
Yeah, like the Pokemon.
I finally got entirely fed up and looked up Snubbull's Japanese name.
It's "Buruu." Blue.
THIS ENTIRE TIME THE SELLERS JUST FUCKING MEANT BLUE

#FPQuestion of the day: You are going to be making a pen to honor your favorite pet. Please tell us of the pet, perhaps let us see the pet. Then tell us about the pen that represents them! #FountainPens
Fountain pens are more environmentally friendly than disposable ballpoint pens, right? But what about the ink I use to refill? I wonder if there's a way to buy ink but use your own inkwell. I just want the ink, not the bottles they come in.
Oh look, another blue TWSBI ECO ("slate blue onyx"). I do like the color (and black nib+accents), but it's also nearly 2x the usual cost of an ECO. So for now it'll sit on a wish list. Gotta save up for Switch 2, eh?
Don't get me wrong, blue is my favorite color and all, but lately it seems like almost every pen TWSBI puts out is blue. Yet there are zero red TWSBI pens in any of the stores I usually check.

Behold, the second member of the Pastafarian Holy Trinity, The Flying Ravioli Monster!
This guy took at least 70 hours to finish. That's what I get for using fine nibs, I guess. Only one left to do, stay tuned.

One barrel. One cap. Multiple nib sections. I'm not sure how the makers of this calligraphy fountain pen set thought this was going to work.
Any suggestions on how to keep a nib/section (with cartridge or converter) from drying out without the usual cap on barrel scenario?

Yes, absolutely worth the hassle. There is really not much of a hussle.
1) It is better to use a demonstrator (clear body) pen for those inks as shimmer particles will settle on the bottom of the liquid (if you keep your pens in horisontal position than on a pens side) and every time you want to use your pen just move it around a little to put shimmer back into the liquid. Don't shake it hard.
2. For a better flow - medium nibs or larger.

Where can one buy fountain-pen-friendly A5/A4 notepads TOP-bound with spiral.
Reasonable shipping to Israel would be lovely...

Anyone happen to know if a TWSBI diamond 580 ALR can fill directly from a TWSBI 18ml bottle (without the snorkel)?
I don't have any TWSBI ink to check. I know the Diamine 18ml bottles are too narrow.
Was eyeing an ink sample pack as part of a gift for someone but it would be silly if the pen couldn't fill from the ink.
