A Lost Opportunity? Five Years Too Late.

Recommended Posts

This is more an example of the strange things my mind comes up with late at night... I don't expect the thread to live very long.

 

I'm pretty sure most of us are familiar with how Colorverse creates series with six boxed sets, each set having a large "snail" and a small "snail" of ink, often different colors or if the same color the smaller one may be a glitter ink.

 

My mind came up with a Hasbro licensed series: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic -- The Mane 6

{You can understand why I say "five years too late" as the series finale was last fall, and that was season 9, so going back 5 years would put one into season 4, middle of the run}

 

I see the large snail as being the primary character color (with one exception) and the small bottle being the eye color

{character | large | small -- generic colors, I'm not going to try to pick out existing inks for formal names}

 

  • Applejack | muted Orange | Green
  • Pinkie Pie | Pink | Cyan
  • Fluttershy | muted Yellow (avoid highlighter shade) | Cyan-Green
  • Rainbow Dash | bluish Cyan | Magenta
  • Rarity | Violet (I don't think a nano-particle titanium white pigment ink would fly, so this is the mane color) | Blue
  • Twilight Sparkle | floral Lavender | deep Lavender (maybe with glitter)

 

My first nightmare thoughts had been for body color / mane color -- but Applejack's straw yellow would be practically unseeable, we'd have had two shades of pink for Pinkie, along with a third pink for Fluttershy, two shades of violet for Rarity (maybe glitter for the mane highlight shade), and since we don't have inks that separate into a spectrum Rainbow Dash would likely require a pale yellow-green with a rainbow of glitter particles, Twilight would get the magenta skunk stripe.

 

 

Probably wouldn't have been a high seller -- the show's target demographic is likely still using crayons. :lol:

This is the biggest problem with your plan. I would be required (by a brony friend) to purchase this ink for myself, but I don't like the idea of a pale purple (aka lavender) ink as the big bottle. I want the darker purple to be the big bottle. If the little one must have glitter, I'll tolerate it, just not the big one. :P

This thread makes me laugh; I’ve always called any ink with shimmer “My Little Pony” inks. They remind me of the writing in glitter pen-filled, kawaii-style fluffy-covered notebooks that are all over Instagram. Shimmer inks seem (to me) to be perfect for that demographic ;-)

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
