Salvage Storytime | My Eclipse Story (and some spaceship shenanigans)
I had an incredible experience observing the eclipse, and wanted to share a little bit of it with you. Nothing I say or show can really capture what it was like, but I sure try!
Then I try something a little bit different, which I may iterate on or might abandon entirely. We'll see! I think it turned out better than I thought at the end of it all (I was so deep in the sauce when I finished, it was bad), but I still really am not sure anyone's going to find it **interesting**.
You might notice that this video is both later and longer than normal. My partner and I are in the process of looking for a house, and that is taking up a looooot of time that I would normally spend futzing with pens and video games (and editing videos). I still plan to get both of my remaining eclipse videos out, though!

I Attack The Darkness! | 2023 Inkvent Day 9
Love my Earl Grey Tea pen! When I got mine they’re only had it in a broad nib which was way too juicy for me. I purchased a fine BENU replacement nib from Goldspot and it has preformed beautifully! I have Diamine Ancient Copper in it and it’s perfect!
hm...The Pelikan EF looks more like an F :)
I cannot say, I've not tried a Pelikan F. But it *is* a western nib and they don't run super fine as it is.
When you said what you said about teal inks, I felt that to my soul 😂❤
well, this was out of nowhere 😅 I enjoyed your eclipse story so much. I never experienced total eclipse, only partial ones but I remember when I was just a kid, I was on a playground when the eclipse happened. It all went dark for a while and the wind kicked in. I will never forget about that.
Even partial eclipses are sooooo cool. They're surreal in a really subtle way, where a total eclipse is like "would you like an existential crisis with those fries?"
@@PaintedSpaceship 😂i don't even need eclipse to get into existential crisis state 😂 also, i forgot to comment first time, good luck with house hunting!
@RyeMiArt mooooood
Wow looks like you prefer broad nibs and a lefty as well. Right on we are in the same club. I. Don’t care that being a lefty I have less chance of blurring my writing if I use extra fine but jimmy cracked corn. I love shimmer I love sheen I love color so broads are my go to. BBs too 200 pins maybe 3 are fine. Zoom nib great too. Cheers. I may have already wrote this on one of you videos if so apologies. Getting up there in number of winters past
I do really enjoy nibs that show off the properties of inks quite a lot! That's usually at least a medium! For my planner pens, I prefer fine and extra fine, but that's mostly because I write super small in that context.
What game is this? Also hi!
:) :) :) :) :) Star Citizen! :) :) :) :) :)
The most i will ever spent on a pen, i already have, and it was a namiki emperor. A very cool pen, but i used a discount code to reduce the price a bit at goldspot. Its still the most ill ever spend on one,and i will very likely never approach spending that kind of money on one again. Am i glad i did though? Yeah. Its definitely one id recommend, i just cant imagine anything else in that price range being better or even comparable.
I won't lie, the Namiki Emperor is a bit of a grail pen for me, but I don't want to fall into the same habit of "can't use it because it's too special". I know the Pilot artisans especially want their pens to be used. But that is certainly a pen to treasure and appreciate!
Thanks for sharing! I've never had/used a Kaweco, it is good to know they are dry writers! That Ben Euphoria pen looks good!!
A very nice video! Thank you! The Pelikan M800/805 are my everyday pens I have two, and I really love them.
I really should be less precious about using mine, it's great to write with.
Always looking for lefties in pen community
Guilty! 😁
Cosmo air light?
Cosmo air light!
Nice introduction to your channel! I watch right now with one eye on outside to see how the light changes as the eclipse shows over my southeastern Ohio home. ... So! Some thoughts: 1) Thanks for showing the effect of sunlight on plastic! Maybe obvious once you've pointed it out; but had it occurred to me? (My only Kaweco is bronze; but, still, plastic!) 2) You've found Fahrney's! Yes! Love that they make their own ink . . . and that they still exist as a brick and mortar. Long may they prosper! 3) Yes about the Diplomat nib. I've had their Esteem for some time now. It deserves more use than I give it. 4) What a nice quick explanation of using a zoom nib. I had been wondering. 5) m805. Good for you! I got one a couple of years ago to honor an important 10th anniversary. You write with that thing as much as you can!!! It was made to use (safely at your desk)! If you wear out the nib with writing on decent stationery, let us know . . . I'm guessing half a century from now we'll all be agog at your output. ... Of course, in 2074, I'll be impressed still to be alive and alert at 115.
Those are some very thoughtful comments, thank you! And I'm also watching the light change!
@@PaintedSpaceship Thanks! And, here, I have to say how impressed with the Sun I am that even with significant blockage, day still stayed day.
Brian Goulet has recommended on his podcast to wrap a rubber band around the end of a pencil to grab the inner portion of your cap to remove it so you can clean behind it. I haven’t tried it yet but maybe you can give it a shot.
Oh I must have missed that pencast! I'll have to give that a shot, thanks for the tip. 🙂
Very enjoyable video - I love the channel name. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
15:43... Wow...that is a beauty... Pelikan M805 Suberen blue stripe silver trim fountain pen - EF nib (japan import) $1400.oo cad 😎👍💯🌟🌟🌟🌟
Ohhh boy I did not pay quite THAT much! Maybe about half that converted to USD.
If you added a N-1 the cover would be perfect.
You know, there is room.....
I have to make every kaweco nib wetter. It's very easy to do. Widen the ink channel, floss the nib, spread the tines a bit with some brass shims. Repeat if needed. I can elaborate if needed.
I did the same thing with all 12 of Kaweco Sports and AL Sports. I learned how from Pens & Tea channel and from Doodlebud 's channel.
Thank you for sharing!
The tea pen again 😍 That sherwood green ink is beautiful!
I still love this pen so much. And both greens!
Love that your compromise for a Homo Sapiens was a Diplomat Magnum 😆 One day you’ll get that lava pen!
I got spooked, okay! It's SO expensive!
@@PaintedSpaceship it super is! One day tho
Only paper I can think of is Cosmo Air Light?
Nailed it!
I figured it was that or an Odyssey Notebook with their space covers. Good call!
It bothers me that there is so little information out there on fountain pen friendly papers. I was searching on and off for months and haven’t gotten very far when it comes to finding out what and how Rhodia is sized to give it its smooth feel. Especially the Premium R paper. (90gsm)We may never know because it’s proprietary and more than likely a trade secret. For anyone that’s interested and that doesn’t know Rhodia was bought by Clairefontaine back in the 90s. Clairefontaine makes both their paper and Rhodia paper. Even though they’re supposed to be “distinctly different,”they’re both made by Clairefontaine. I am still uncertain if Clairefontaine and Rhodia 90gsm.paper are the same. As in “identical.” Some people say no others say it’s unclear. Rhodia paper: It comes down to whether it’s 80 GSM or 90 GSM Rhodia paper. The 80 GSM comes in bright white (classic paper) and the 90 GSM (premium) comes in cream and is smoother to me personally. Companies are always changing and adding products so I’m not even sure if cream is always 90 GSM and bright white is only 80 GSM. I’m still looking for Info. Cheers
I completely agree, I wish there were more information on what papers contained. Is it Clairefontaine Triomphe that is similar to the Rhodia R? I may have to pair those two papers together when I get to Clairefontaine Triomphe for that Paper Lab video.
@@PaintedSpaceship I’m always falling down rabbits holes looking for the answer to these perplexing questions! 😆 That head to head would be a great comparison! 👍👍👍
I really like this review of the Rhodia paper. I appreciate that you have very clear close-ups, and that you show exactly how the inks perform, and that you used various inks and pens. Fabulous! Can't wait to see more. You have a new subscriber!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Good good, nothing tempting me away from TRP yet 😊 Appreciate all the closeups and explanations! Seeing the side by sides are super helpful!
I'm glad that's helpful! I definitely hope I remember to keep doing it!
Love the nails! And the inks! And your writing! Oh and hi ghostie!
Thank you! I've been having fun with my nails lately.
Its just something about that paper a d fountain pens I don’t like them together lol. Feels wrong when I try lol
You are definitely not alone in that! I think if I used it more I'd like it less, if that makes sense? I mostly just use it for notes at work, but that clay feeling I mentioned in the video is one that I haaate.
My soul pen! So beautiful! Love your review included tea themed inks! A favourite of mine is Earl Grey Tea by Dominant Industry and Lie De The (which is my ink of the year for my five year journal). Tea time is beautiful! Would love to use that one day :)
I was so delighted to find Tea Time - I love green inks, I love tea, I love GREEN tea! It was perfect, and it writes with such beautiful shading!
Thank you for these (o: I'm having some flow issues with the Peter Pan ink - it's weirdly making my nib kinda tacky on the paper, while coming out of there really weirdly. Tick Tock Croc reminds me a lot of Old Man and the Sea, also from Wearingeul.
That is really strange - what pen do you have it in?
@@PaintedSpaceship It's in a Jinhao 9019, which works really well with other inks.
@@larsgottliebYeah I haven't had much experience with jinhaos but everything I've heard is that they're pretty solid writers. I'm sorry you're having a hard time with the Peter Pan ink! I'll try to remember to report if I ever ink it up.
@@PaintedSpaceship The four I own are pretty decent - I really love the heartbeat nib on the green 9019. Anyways, thank you for your thoughts!
Robert Oster Earl Grey didn't perform the required reading for the assignment.
I'm still cracking up about the Earl Grey ink, honestly.
It is such a beautiful pen! You can easily swap the nib with any Schmidt #6 FH452. It just twists out like the Jowo nibs.
That's good information to have. This might be my only Schmidt nib, and I think my only Jowo is on my Monteverde, so I haven't done much in the way of remove and replace!
Cozy salvaging could absolutely be a genre of video.
I'm blazing trails!
Ship (of space).
Ship!
The x450 I got to frankenpen is also impossible to take apart. Not even sure how they got the fees in there but not even a clamp and hammer could dislodge that sucker 🤣
I watched a video to see if I was insane, and it just... popped right out! I was so mad! I'm glad I'm not the only one, even if that means we both have stuck pens... :(
LOVE the Early Grey BENU, I am hoping that they do another run on them so I can pick one up :) How do you like the grip on the Lamy as a left-hander? I have been hesitant to get one because of the forced grip but I have seen a lot of lefties with them. Thanks for sharing 💕
I actually love the triangle grip of both the Lamy and the TWSBI Ecos that I have; they sit very naturally in my hand, and actually reduce a lot of rolling that I experience with other pens (not a super helpful tendency when you're using fountain pens!) It does obviously depend on how you tend to grip the pen - a lot of lefties don't use the typical tripod grip, and if you don't know if you do, you can try the Kakuno (much cheaper) to see. Just make sure the top of the nib lines up with one of the triangle points, and see how that feels! If that's comfortable for you, the Lamy likely will be, too.
@@PaintedSpaceship I love the Kakuno and Eco so I may give the Lamy a go :) Thanks.
Congrats on 100 subscribers!
Thank you! It's wild!
If it hates Pilot, I have to know.. how does it respond to Sailor nibs?
It doesn't hate ALL pilot nibs, but I will take my LeCoule to the paper - y'know, for SCIENCE!
I just found your channel today and immediately watched all and subscribed. Thank you for your effort!
Thank you for watching! I hope it has been fun! 😀
I'm the friend holding you up 😅 I'm almost done with Jade Legacy and should start The Girl and the Stars this week! Book of the Ancestor was so good and the world building was a delightful surprise. Glad we read that together ❤️ Ahhh you're restarting Elderling (waits patiently with final trilogy..) Was I the person who zoomed through it all? Sorry I waited eventually 😅 I am 33 pages into Fifth Season and also know nothing about it. Let's gooo
There is a jump cut there where I was like "I shouldn't blast Bri in my UA-cam video - she's trying!" but definitely did cut out a "it's fine, Bri!"
@@PaintedSpaceship It's fine 😆 I also skipped that whole section so.. remind me to revisit later after I'm caught up
Despite having totally different taste, this was a fun watch! I like when authors use the most minimal possible amount of world building like Philip K Dick short stories, and glaze over hearing about magic aystems 😅 But your videos have such a fun vibe
Thank you so much! 💖 It's hard to succinctly capture magic systems sometimes in a way that doesn't sound mental, so I waaaasn't even going to try. I'll remember that, though, and recommend what comes across that falls in that kinda vibe!
Good luck with your reading goal! I finished Holy sister in January as well! Still have to gather my thoughts about it! How did I not realize there is another series my M. Lawrence set in the same world. Immediately adding to my tbr... Or maybe not. Seems like I would be annoyed by it lol (you can tell I'm commenting as I am watching haha) I had my eyes on the Squire for some time because the cover is just sooo pretty.
I think The Girl and the Stars is still worth reading, even if parts of it annoy you (really both of us). It was still a really solid book, and it's got lots of room to grow and drop some good good Abeth lore. If you decide to read it, let me know!
@@PaintedSpaceship thanks, I will!
It's the Moonman T1 in blue. Yep, fine Moonman nib writes fairly broad but not as broad as the Schmidt nibs on BENUs (maybe it's just the wetness of the Schmidts?).
Oh thank you! I meant to look that up (again), because I just call it my Moonman. And yeah, it's hard to compare directly between my Moonman and my Benu because the Benu I have is a medium - but I love the way it writes. I've talked about this with friends, and maybe it'll come up in another video, but I love journaling with broader nibs, but use fine and extra fine in my planner (otherwise nothing would fit), so it's interesting to see the variation between different brands of pen and nibs.
@@PaintedSpaceship I bought a BENU with a broad nib but it was so wet and broad that I had to get fine and medium nibs to swap in. Don't get me wrong, the broad is so luscious but for somethings and some papers a finer, drier line is needed! I think people have been going on about Jowo nibs for so long, they are surprised at how nice Schmidt nibs are.
Yeah I can see how a Schmidt broad would be a bit much for writing - and I'm imagining some papers like CAL where there's a bit of a spread effect that makes the line look even broader!
the one with tea in it is so prettyyy! And I love how you inked up many of your pens with inkwent inks
I had more inked up, but successfully used up the ones that I actually inked up during December (I think Early Dusk and Nightfall were the ones I remembered).
The Benu has real tea in it?! 😮 Genius!
YES!!
Did Ziggy give you battle scars on your hand? Also, I love the look of the tea pen. It embodies elegance.
I .... am not sure where I got these scratches, honestly. It could have been Rory getting his nails done. BUT RIGHT? I love this pen so much.
It was interesting to see what(and how many) you have inked up. I currently have 12 or 13. Not including the 2 sailor fude de mannan that are my doodling/drawing pens. I don't know if your setup allows for it, but i really would have liked to see a closeup on the writing samples. Some of your inks i am familiar with, others not so much. I am envious that you got the Goulet Earl Grey Benu, it was sold out when i went for it, so i had to console myself with the green magna carta mag 600. (Maybe things happen for a reason)
I used to have more inked up at any given time, but have (slowly) found that about six is my sweet spot. Close-ups of writing samples will be much easier when I get a dedicated overhead camera and can do close-ups with my phone as I'm writing - right now it's all on my phone, and I am at the whims of a single shot in many cases. But a camera is HIGH on my list of things to get, hopefully soon!
This year I wished there was more of a range in the types of inks. The You Tube Algorithm only served me this one. I did enjoy hearing your thoughts on inkvent. Good journeys on your You Tube venture.
I wholeheartedly agree! I was disappointed that it was so heavily weighted towards the shimmers (they all count as shimmer even if they're different kinds of shimmer!) and completely left behind the sheening inks. They do also have lopsided color choices, but I think over the course of several years they get an okay range. More browns than I expected in 2019's lineup.
those calendars are beautiful! I have Djamila's for 2024 as well, yay! The only problem with stickers is I don't want to 'waste' them so I almost never put them anywhere, they just live in the box, which is even worse! (I know its not wasting but my mind is being stupid). Cookie tin is such a great idea!
I COMPLETELY understand that fear of not wanting to "waste" stickers - that's part of why I end up putting them on planners and sketchbooks. I'm not going to throw those out, in all likelihood (even planners, they're good records like journals), so I'll have the stickers forever.
I pretty much have the same list as you and now have even more artists to check out for calendars 😍 (and stickers and pins). I'm going to buy so many pins and stickers at DragonCon this year 🎉
I got so many of these pins and stickers at DragonCon! Like nearly all the pins, I think. And a couple artbooks, and the constellation postcard prints.
ohh the chromatography brought me back to my uni years and excruciatingly long laboratory sessions we had every week 😂
Lab reports were the worst part! I loved the labs where we developed film, though, that was really cool.
@@PaintedSpaceship yeah! we had two 5 hour long labs every week (or every other, not sure anymore) and these were just the same lab tests over and over, the only interesting labs were the ones when we were actually making our own tablets, we made paracetamol and acetylsalicylic acid and stuff like that, BUT those were 10 hours long (every other week) and it was really exhausting. Film developing seems fun!
I'm excited to be an astronib! Opon Channel has a lot going on! Crab Nebula too.. wow. I am also perplexed about chicken shimmer because it is a complex ink when writing but nah just green thanks.
I had the SAME THOUGHT - though now I'm tempted to figure out what is going on THERE, too.
