ADHD has decided we're into fountain pens now.
Here's everything I learned so you don't have to spiral.

START HERE
Kaweco Sport
Fine vs Extra Fine
$25 | The gateway drug. Pocket-sized, cute, comes in a million colors. Fine nib for everyday writing, extra fine if you're a notes-in-the-margins girlie.
This is the pen that ruined me for normal pens.
Kakuno
Fine vs Extra Fine
$15 | The no-pressure entry point. Has a literal smiley face on the nib. Most beginner-friendly pen that exists. Japanese nibs run thinner than European ones so the extra fine is THIN.
Perfect for tiny planners and bullet journals.
Asvine C80
Medium
$20 | The 1am impulse buy. She writes like butter. Medium nibs give you that smooth, flowy feeling and she's punching way above her price point. Each one is hand-poured resin so no two look the same.
Comes with a converter for bottled ink, which is a whole other rabbit hole.
Sailor Four Seasons
Fine Nib
$70+ | The one you buy when the hyperfixation wins. She's gorgeous. Sailor pens have this "pencil feedback" that people chase.
You don't need her yet. But you'll want her.
