I just finished reading through your new article on fountain pens; thank you for your thoughtful response! The sakura engraving on that nib is absolutely beautiful. I'm quite envious of the amount of stationery stores and community you seem to have available to you, considering I'm from a rather small Irish town with very few people (if any) to discuss this hobby with.

This looks like a wonderful site already, and I'm very excited to see what else you add to it; especially what you might write. I like the fountain pen ink reference, also, as I've recently begun using fountain and dip pens everyday. I'd be interested in hearing about your collection or thoughts on using fountain pens, and if you have any recommendations. :]

Interesting timing for your book club article! I helped make a bookclub here on Neocities that I just decided to step away from, though not from any negative feelings: Just busy & have been less interested in online community & friendship. If I had made a book club in HS though, I'd have felt similarly to you. I sort of skipped ever reading YA novels & whatnot & went straight to literary fiction.

I'd be interested in hearing about why you have decided to move away from online community and friendship if you ever decide to write or share anything on it. I've been struggling with my relationship with my phone and the internet recently, also, and am trying to limit it severely. And, yes... Social media is a poison when it comes to reading.

I'll have to write something up later then, because I've been meaning to for a while! There are just so many different thoughts I have about it that it's been hard to organize them.

Say, I got my hand on some liver meat. Do I just eat it out of the bag or is there a proper way of preparing it?

The classic way to eat it is fried in butter with onions, but since I don't like onions I just eat it alone, fried in pure butter. Lamb liver is what I usually have. The taste will never be amazing, and you'll notice a bit of a gritty texture, especially if it's more well-done. Really, though, it's not as bad as people say it is. It just tastes like slightly old meat, in my opinion.

If you don't like eating it as is, you can also always opt for pate or mix it in with some other meat. The only reservation you should have is that you don't need to eat more than one serving a week or so, due to potential vitamin A toxicity if you overeat it somehow. (That is unlikely, but nonetheless.)

I highly reccomend dirty rice: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/276821/dirty-dirty-rice/ I have only tried it with chicken liver, but I think it ought to work with any sort.

Likewise! I love your focus on philosophy. Always happy to find sites that even dabble in the topic, nevermind devote themselves to it fully. I have also found that the more I 'dabble' in reading and studying philosophy the more I realise it's not something that's exactly possible to only dabble in. And so the slippery slope goes. :^)

It seems you are progressing well with the coloured pencils. We would suggest experimenting with pastel pencils, they can be more forgiving and gestural and blend in a way which is not possible with coloured pencil. Water soluble graphite with a brush is also recommended for fur. Universe be with U

I do have some water soluble graphite pencils lying around, actually, so may try this out soon. I think I have coloured pastels somewhere, but no pencils, but the next time I'm in an art store will keep an eye out for these. Thank you. :]

Try pastel pencils if you can find them, they tend to be more chalky and you can sharpen them to get precision where necessary.

It would be nice to be able to test and buy fountain pens in person, but alas. My first fountain pen was a gift from a friend so I'm unsure of the brand, but after this I got a LAMY Safari because it was a widely recommended beginner choice. It writes well, and I love extra fine nibs, but the plastic barrel isn't ideal. I recommend testing dip pens someday; less convenient, but I use them for writing penpals letters.
No worries! I'm really happy that you asked about it and I'm always down to enable someone on fountain pens LOL The pen is really beautiful irl and I can see why it sells out so quickly, I just had my lucky streak that day! Your friend is so nice to gift you a fountain pen ^^ I've been wanting to get a dip pen too, writing letters seem like a good idea to try and I might give it a shot one day ^^b
