I was doing a thing with a friend who had moved where we corresponded via snail mail as if we were characters in a fantasy world. I was getting into physically roleplaying the writing process – 3D printed a wax seal for the letters and ended up buying a Kaweco Lilliput Brass when looking for a copper or brass fountain pen to write the letters with.

Next thing I knew I had more pens than sense and more ink than I’ll ever be able to use.

I can also vouch for the Hongdian black forest being surprisingly decent!
