I got my first Fancy Fountain Pen Ink! Octopus Fluids' Medusa, rich purple with a green-gold sheen that comes out on less absorbent surfaces.

The first thing that came to mind (aside from like the literal Medusa) was post-structural feminist Hélène Cixous' famous 1975 essay about the revolutionary and erotic power of écriture feminine.

Pen: this Muji fountain pen (I just emptied and refilled the cartridge with a syringe with a blunt fill needle, which I have for HRT)
Paper: $3.75 stone paper notebook from Dollarama

@nev
A good use of the syringe. Be cautious of the stone papers, they are not really intended for fountain pens and my abrade the tip. If you use them inspect your pen's nib with a loupe regularly
But enjoy!

I don't see myself getting lots of Fancy Ink because 1) it's super expensive and 2) I can't possibly use all that ink, but I think it would be nice to eventually get a nice blurple (violet-blue is one of my favourite colours) and a pigeon neck colour (like, teal with magenta sheen). Recommendations okay but not necessary, I also enjoy finding stuff on my own and am not in a hurry to buy anything.
