Nib Holder

You're good at calligraphy! May I ask what writing instruments do you use? Please and thank you. 🖋️😊

Thank you.

I had already answered most of this in a previous German reply, but I'm happy to answer it again in English since you asked me so politely.

Nib holder

I use different nib holders, depending on the font. Since I write a lot of broken fonts, I usually use a nib holder made of wood with a chrome grip.

The nib holder is called "Federhalter ARTIST" and I purchased it from the German online store of "feder-fuehrend": https://www.feder-fuehrend.de/products/federhalter-artist-mahagoni-inkl-schreibfeder

Nibs

For the nibs themselves, I use bandzug nibs. I recommend nibs with less elasticity in the beginning, as they are easier to handle, and as you become more confident, you can increase the elasticity.

A good starter set is "Brause & Co, No. 180": https://www.feder-fuehrend.de/products/bandzugfeder-no-180-brause

I currently use the following nibs frequently:

William Mitchell, Pedigree, Round-Hand, Bronze

C. Howard Hunt Pen Co, Speedball Pens, C-Series

Heintze & Blanckertz, No. 600

I purchased these from the German online store "Kallipos": https://shop.kallipos.de/de/produkte/bandzugfedern

Paper

When it comes to paper, I use various types of it; Again, depending on the font, type of work, and writing utensils used.

Practice paper For normal practice, I often use lined practice pads or white non-lined paper with a thickness of 100g/m².

Project paper For my projects I use a different sort of paper. It is important to pay attention to the sizing in order to prevent the ink from "bleeding". In addition to sizing, a matte surface is also important, as ideally the nib should not slip off. I vary the thickness of these types of paper depending on the intended use, but it usually amounts to 120g/m² or 200g/m².

Paper for special inks For special inks, such as the golden ink in some of my uploads, I use special black colored paper from Italy (Burano nero - Roman Tower) in the thickness 200g/m².

I don't really have a store for paper, which I use regularly. At this point, I would just google for the appropriate paper and thickness.

Inks

The inks I use also vary quite a bit. But for the most part I use inks from "Rohrer & Klingner": https://www.rohrer-klingner.de/en/writing-ink/

I especially like to use the iron gall ink "Salix" and "Scabiosa".

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me.

Our Place

Walking through the powdery snow

I passed a place that I still know;

by heart - like every loving memory

that touched my heart so tenderly;

reminding me of all I miss

and every single endless kiss;

mourning as I went my way

I guess nothing gold can stay.

Reviewing your profile, it strikes me that you say that you are no stranger to erotic texts.I also write poetry and short stories, and I have received requests for erotic. In my case, I feel that it is something too intimate, to put it on the table my own experiences and kinks. May I ask if you don't post it because it's too intimate? Nice poetry, btw.

On the one hand, it certainly has to do with the fact that such writings bring certain thoughts and imaginations to light. For me, desire, lust and eroticism are linked to so much more than just a beautiful body and could never be satisfied only by such; there's more to it.

And this "more" is something I do not want to disclose so freely to everyone, just as I do not want to make deep feelings and thoughts accessible to everyone. True intimacy is a gift not to be shared with everyone.

Another reason is the fact that our language is limited and we can only ever try to translate sensations into it - an endeavor doomed to failure from the start. This insufficiency of language, the errors in translation, the inadequacy that becomes so painfully apparent with each successive word, is something that also bothers me a lot in this field, just as it does in the field of poetry.

But it also has to do with the fact that I - at least here on tumblr - do not have the feeling that many people are capable of looking at such a piece of writing in a detached way and possibly understand it as an invitation to approach me with sexual advances, as that has already happened through one or the other text or image post on my part. In general, I have made the experience that writings of this kind are far too often understood as some kind of invitation and far too rarely as an expression of feelings or art.

As you can see, there are a lot of reasons and in the end it will be a mixture of the ones shared above and those that I have not explicitly mentioned.

Thank you for the compliment, by the way.

Why don't you answer my message in your inbox? :(

By being anonymous, you make it quite difficult for me to match you to a specific question. But if I haven't answered it, it's most likely because I don't find it interesting, don't have the time, willingness, or creativity at the moment, the "question" wasn't a question but another unnecessary side note on a topic of your choice, or a mixture of the reasons above.

Manchmal sind es die kleinen Dinge, die für einen kurzen Moment Zufriedenheit an mich tragen. 

Wie kleinste, marginale, in ihrer Wirksamkeit nur kurzlebige Alkaloide des Schlafmohns, welche an meinen körpereigenen Opioidrezeptoren ansetzen und diese für einen Augenblick betäuben, während sie die graugetrübte Sicht meiner Augen mit ihren verheißungsvoll knisternden Lippen hinfortküssen.

Doch hinter jeder ihrer kleinen Berührungen leben Lust und Angst, ihnen wieder zu verfallen, weil man sich solchen Küssen schon einmal zu intensiv hingab und sich nicht rechtzeitig von besagten Lippen löste.

Kugelmensch

Four arms, four legs

and a head with two faces.

We wanted too much

endagered those in high places.

So they tore us apart

in fear of our power;

been searching for you

since this very hour.

Echoing your name

in every new thought;

to feel you once more

was what my heart sought.

And you found me again

which made me feel whole;

and freed all those things

I still can't control.

Our time was cut short

I know love is blind;

but I still can't believe

that you left me behind.

Ich wünschte ein Mann würde jemals so über mich dichten, wie du über diese Frau. Du bist etwas ganz besonderes..

Ich bin lediglich ein stiller Beobachter, der einem Wunder beiwohnen durfte. Wer würde sich an meiner Stelle nicht im Versuch verlieren, eben jenes Wunder in Schriftform festzuhalten?

I read that you dropped "name the trait" in reference to your veganism.... Peter Singer ... Veganism and hatred of the disabled - how do they go together? I thought you vegans are against suffering and want to prevent it, so why this latent and unfounded hatred? :)

First of all, who are "you vegans"? You are communicating with me, an individual, and not an imaginary, homogeneous group that follows the same dogma and thinks the same thoughts in every aspect of life. Such a portrayal of a group already reveals a lot and takes away any desire for further discussion from the outset. Nevertheless, I will still address the rest of your message.

Yes, I have already presented "name the trait" as a kind of verifiability for logical consistency in the context of veganism, and I am also familiar with Peter Singer and his philosophy. Furthermore, I am, of course, aware of the criticism of his preference utilitarianism, especially in my home country, which is not surprising given the country's history; historically, Germany cannot dissociate itself from the accusations of eugenics during the National Socialist era.

Without wanting to unnecessarily deepen this discussion, I would like to ask you whether you have also familiarized yourself with his writings and philosophy or whether, like many, you simply repeat what is commonly criticized without delving into it further. That's how your previous message comes across to me. Personally, your standpoint seems to deliberately misinterpret his writings to build a semblance of an argument, if it can even be called that. Your attempt to introduce a kind of strawman in the form of the allegedly homogeneous group of vegans does not really cast your message in a better light.

I am happy and willing to discuss philosophy and other topics at any time, but only if I see a certain meaningfulness and a real exchange in it. In your case, I see neither.

And by the way: Perhaps you should ask me about my reasons for veganism before arguing against it and assuming that Peter Singer's philosophy is my sole reason, because - and I can tell you this much - it is not.
