Called me out with the Iroshizuku. Uncanny observation

Oi, you - stop calling people out on these things! Let us retain at least a semblance of dignity. Got it wrong on one part - I listened to the Goulet Pencast, because I’m an imbecile who doesn’t know how YouTube works even if I am definitely Gen Z. And I don’t own a Diamine stand, I grip the bottle between my feet and fill from there.

Asian, remember? Indoors we go barefoot.

You forgot my ultimate favourite - Dominant Industry. May I suggest….’Either a teardrop or a lightbulb depending on your point of view. Whoever likes this brand has a bit of an attachment to the name, and the smoothness of the bottle shape catches your eye whenever it’s on your desk, which is a welcome distraction from the things you should have completed two days ago. An inappropriate obsession with chemistry and/or space. Likes the ink lab aspect of DI and wonders about the makeup of different inks in spare time. Drinks too much caffeine and will work on a project through the night without realizing it. Skips meals because eating is distracting.’

You also forgot Montblanc. That would be a great way to poke at the horse lovers. And Jacques Herbin. The fancy ones as well as the cute ones.

Although…question. Does ‘favourite ink bottle shape’ mean the bottle shape of your fav ink or your favourite shape, ink completely disregarded?
