Do You Consider Yourself Attractive?

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?

Lets magine your girlfriend would have to deal with an eating disorder. How would you try to help her?

Difficult subject and like all mental illnesses, there is no panacea at this point. It is a very individual matter, which makes it almost impossible for me to give a general answer. I have had girlfriends with eating disorders in the past and it helped them to talk openly with me about them. We then cooked together more often, ate together and tried to approach the whole thing step by step.

I think it's important - generally speaking - to try to draw strength from good days and not let bad days get you down, because both variations will occur and that's completely natural. Only the person who carries such a disorder can really "defeat" it; other people can only help to a limited extent and usually do more than enough if they have a little more understanding for such disorders than the general public does.

Unfortunately, such topics are still stigmatized despite their increasing relevance.

It is sad to see that you have such a wrong image of yourself, you are such a sweet, romantic and talented man <3

Is it really me who has a false image of myself, or is it you? You know me through a self-directed blog with selected content, I've known myself for over a quarter of a century, completely without euphemisms and in raw form.

Morgenrot

Lange Nächte

voller Gedanken

an dunkle Augen

und schwarzes Haar.

Es ähnelt dem Himmel

wie der einst dem Herzen

früher umnebelt

doch lange klar;

von Schmerzen und Sorgen

das Herz damals hart

durch Liebe der Lippen

die Küsse so zart.

Befreiten sie es

aus kaltem Befangen

und entfachten im Innern

tiefes Verlangen.

Mit anderen Reizen

entflohen der Not

fand es die Liebe

im Morgenrot.

- by Weltenasche.

Unzählbar noch die Gleise

unsäglich das Verlangen

ungleich ist jede Reise

und doch so ähnlich; 

auf ihre Art und Weise.

I feel curious and I will ask you the same thing, if you allow me.

Do you have a favorite word? If so, which one is it and why?

Have a good day ✨️

Within my soul, a word blossoms, a cherished one, delicate yet potent - "Agonie" (eng. agony), the sweet torment. A whisper of morbid fascination weaves through my artistic realm, where somber works touch me, steeped in melancholy, solitude, hopelessness, and that very agony.

I am convinced that nowhere on this Earth does a dedication to details exist as profound as in a tormented soul. When such a soul transcribes its painful moments onto paper, art is born. An art that reaches its zenith - at least in my perception - in that which is permeated by agony. Every stroke on the paper, every hue on the canvas, every letter, saturated with this tormenting force.

Yet another reason why Agony is my favorite word: I harbor a weakness for the duality of life. Agony sounds so beautifully phonetic, and yet its meaning could not be more contrasting. This paradox captivates me profoundly.

Thank you for your question and I also wish you a day filled with beauty and grace.

I want you to write the alphabet on my ass with your beautiful handwriting.. I'm sorry but that's my first thought that comes to my head in combination with the rest of your blog..

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.

Do you prefer thin or curvy woman?

The creative ones. And since creativity comes in all shapes and sizes, I don't really care.

I have met a girl I really like but I'm not sure if I should write her first or wait for her to write first. It's been 2 days since we met :/ what would you do?

I refuse to believe that people really play games like this.
