    My most used fountain pen ink is probably Manyo Ume. I love Writer's Blood too, but Manyo Ume just hits the sweet spot for me for red inks. And then, on really good paper for sheens, it has a subtle golden sheen appear and that makes me even happier. Am probably going to finish a bottle of it this year, think I opened it in May. I use it all the time, am so in love with it!

      Thank you! My handwriting has changed through the years and keeps developing little quirks based on what I'm using writing for the most at the time. I have changed the way I cross "T"s" and dot "i's" depending on how fast I need to write for extended times! Developing handwriting naturally or based on current need is so fascinating!

If you turn up the volume on this video you will hear the noise it makes gliding across the page as well. It's a unique sound that I've only gotten with Noodler's ink.

    A few new favourites for me this year have been: Sailor Manyo "Kikyou" - a nice steely grey-blue. Diamine Inkvent "Elf" - a solid green that's so well behaved and quick-drying it's always in at least one of my pens. Diamine "Ancient Copper" - actually a dark red that shades beautifully.

    You can add a bit of black to your blue ink to make it darker. I do it all the time to make a color more what I was hoping for. My current favorites are sailor 123, 223 and troublemaker petrichor.

    My favorite blue is actually mixing liberty Elysium and lexington grey. You get a lovely deep blue with brighter blue shading.
    I always have writers blood inked up as well!! I bought it for the name and absolutely fell in love with the color. One of the few i own multiple bottles off.
    I have Noodlers La rein mauve almost always inked this year which was a surprise for me as im not a huge purple fan but it just hits the mark somehow.
    Im definitely gonna have to check out Raven and dark matter. My most used black is Heart of Darkness. Something about it just makes me smile when i see that ink on the page.
    Im coming to learn the fun ink names as well as the color seems to really grab my heart hahahah.

    Haven't heard Bay State Blue mentioned, and curious if you will be trying? I love this ink, both color and properties, but selective about which pens I use it in. (Currently, a Majohn A1 Capless is serving wonderfully).
    I quite favor the permanent (and sometimes) archival qualities many Noodler's inks have, and uplifted to see you continually review and use them despite their (undeserved) bad press.

    For a more intense blue take a look at Soda Pop Blue by Robert Oster. I've never tried it but it pops and looks awesome. Kind of reminds me of a bit of Iroshizuku Kon Peki if that is the kind of blue you are going for.
