@snacks but i do think experimenting with different writing implements could be a decent idea as well since i currently really dont think ive found much of a preference beyond "hard pencils are fucking stupid". like to date i dont think ive even tried a rollerball (distinct from ballpoint, rollerball is designed for thinner water-based ink that flows better but dries slower and is easier to smudge much like fountain pen ink)

@snacks yeaa
its terrifying. but i do think rollerball might be of interest for me for the simplicity. also id definitely use the water based ink for the simple fact that im a cheapskate on such things

@coolbean i really like the feeling of fountain pens with their elasticity and bite, but having to hold them at just the right rotation can be annoying, esp since more premium stuff tends ti be worse with that than the ones we used in school

@snacks its really funny how schools here emphasize things like using proper pens and lateinische ausgangschrift super heavily and it just does not matter in the real world where you're gonna have a hard time finding literally anything not ballpoint

@snacks OH SHIT THOSE STABILO ERGONOMIC PENS ARE ROLLERBALL? that most certainly explains why that was the nicest-writing pen ive ever used. got one in elementary and used it through to like 6th grade

@coolbean hab halt was für den ng ton was ich auch bei nk benutze und was für sch weil ich die folge in vereinfachter ausgangsschrift immer grässlich zu schreiben fand. Sind praktisch ipa zeichen mit schleifen damit sie in schreibschift passen
