Got a new fountain pen for myself

It also came with an ink converter thing which I might need if I use ink bottles.

Edit:

Love a good fountain pen. Should cross post over to !fountainpens@lemmy.world

You can also refill the disposable cartridges with a syringe. The not-sharp variety for like irrigation or whatever are the best. Just be careful. Good writing!

When I do this, I seal them up again with a hot glue gun. Then I can put a few of them into my pencil case. You do have to be careful to not bump them around too much though — I did once have one of them leak when I was new to doing this (the benefits of nigh everything I own being black, I suppose)

Looks like a rollerball pen from this angle. Either way, those are really smooth and fun to write with.

The nib is sort of covered, so it looks that way. Added a closeup in the post.

Oh it’s one of those. Pretty cool and modern. I think it’s called a hooded nib.

Oh, neat. Never seen one of those. Mine are all plain.

It does kind of remind me of something, though.

Hooded nibs are pretty cool, if unusual. Here's classic one.
