Apparently windows can and will just randomly disable your GPU, causing all of your monitors plugged into it to display 'no signal' and give you a panic that your GPU died.

I was able to reach someone at Yafa regarding my Maiora Everest fountain pen's grip section separating from the body and I was given an address to send it to 🙌🏻 She's boxed up and is shipping out for repair (or replacement) tomorrow... I hope it's repairable 🤞🏻 I won the ebonite lottery with it :')

Two fountain pens frame a doodle. The doodle is of the 'both is good' meme from the movie 'Road to El Dorado.'

The bottom fountain pen is an Esterbrook x Bungubox Estie 'Kachofugetsu' with an extra fine nib. It is inked with Platinum Carbon Black.

Well... the grip on this pen wasn't meant to come off and that inner liner isn't meant to spin in lieu of the piston 😶 I got this Maiora Everest fountain pen at the DC Pen Show, so it's really new... fingers crossed they'll fix it under warranty 🤪

I let this pen sit for a while because the nib was super stiff & dry despite the nib being the v-flex nib with an ebonite feed I decided to give it another go because I'm a sucker for a pretty pen A floss of the tines and a couple of pages of writing and it's like the nib broke in - it's great now
A Stipula Novecento Avancarica Fountain Pen in the Wild Honey colorway. It has a V-Flex steel nib. (Tho, honestly, it's not really a flex nib... but they're not the only offender out there calling a nib a "flex nib" when it isn't lol)

It is inked with Hana Ink "Black Tea"

The paper is new sanzen tomoe river.

The Sterling Ink To-Do List Notepads use Cosmo Air which makes them fountain pen friendly... and they're really cute. In case anyone is in search of a fountain pen friendly to do list

Each pen wrote on the to do list. Only the Newton Pens Prospector bled through, but it has a Regalia Writing Labs Crossflex on it and that nib bleeds thru most papers lol...
