I bought a planner today Isn't it pretty?!
I got some cool Japanese highlighters by the brand Midliner. If you ever see these in real life get them lol. Stencils are pretty cool! I got one of these today. It's called a Midori Clip Ruler(but it has stencils in it)
And I got a green notebook with really smooth paper. I don't know what brand it is, but it's a joy to write on. There isn't any branding on the front of it.
@koneko: That's true. They are fun and useful. :)
Oh please share! I haven't been to a Target since May lol. I haven't seen what cute stuff they have. I got my stuff at a local store that's about 4 blocks away from me.
@totalanimefan: I love stationary stuffs and my best yet is my smol oddish plush 15cm (sitting oddish up to tip of the leaves)
The best thing about it is that its staring at me back xD write on diary number 1532432: My plant is still staring at me. it creepy.

Oh office supplies are a weakness of mine, hahaha. Especially pens and pencils. I have lots of novelty pens and a few neat pencils as well. I have a gel pen collection that numbers over 100, that I keep in a big ol' case. I have a similarly huge colored pencil collection but I don't have a pic of that.
I also recently got kinda obsessed with Moleskine brand journals and I have three of them currently--one for my recipes, one is a sketchbook, and one for my dream journal. I decorate them with stickers and have started adding charms to the bookmark strings, too.

me here trying to resist buying something every time i go to muji
internal monologue of
i want this
do i need this
i have so many unused pens and notebooks at home
no
i don't need this
but damn i want it
@pachi: I feel that EVERY TIME I go to Muji. So cute, want new stuff, must buy.
@CooperationIsKey: Those pens and pencils are soo cute!! In the 90's I was the kid that collected gel pens! I loved collecting them. I had over 100! But then they dried out, and I wasn't into them by high school.
I put stickers on my new green notebook! Just cute flower ones from the planner. haha. You are making me want multiple notebooks! Yours are nice and I like the stickers.
@Kairu: Aw that's so cute! Also I see my signature in the background. I'm famous now lol
@Totalanimefan:
Tbh these will probably dry out before I use them up but the price was good on them and I couldn't resist. I had meant to use them during the 100 Days of Art challenge I take part in each year but I never did, oops.
I love decorating my notebooks, it's fun. :D
@sunny: OMG What? Why tho? lol
I feel like you are a person that would have nice writing supplies. What do you like to use? (Or are you all digital?)
@CooperationIsKey: Wow that's cool. And to be fair mine were like 8 years old or something like that when they were no good, and only about half were no good. So you got time.
Now I kinda wish I could have gotten more stickers at Otakon, but the place where I bought my supplies yesterday has stickers too. So I can just buy some there. They had an cartoonish upset looking tabby cat that was super cute. And they had one of a lizard.
@Totalanimefan: I think it’s because of the solvent content? Idk! It was a shock to me lmao. Like, I got them from the back to school section, a section that is specifically for children. LOL.
I am pretty much 100% digital, though I do keep a nice collection of supplies. I like Mildliners, like you mentioned, and I write with a Pentel Energel pen. I also like Stabilo fine liners. I have a bunch of them in rainbow, since I utilise a rainbow system to organise my novel notes etc. But mostly I am digital!
currently: new novel who dis?
q u e s t i n g :
beanie doll! thank u cookie
@Totalanimefan: Lol, that's fair.
Yes, all the stickers! I love stickers. I didn't even mention those; I have a collection of stickers as well!
@sunny: No Sharpies for them lol.
Oh you know about mildliners too? I'm in love with them. I want more already lol. What colors do you have? I think I've heard of Pentel Energy pen. I don't know about Stablio ones. Are they nice?
@CooperationIsKey: I love stickers so much. When I was little it was the first thing I ever collected. I had a big mirror and I would put stickers all over them,. Then as I got older, I wouldn't want to peel the stickers off of the sticker set. I thought that it looked nicer all together, and then I fell out of collecting them because I would never use them lolol
Should they keep it on display...
I lowkey have a stationery addiction. Many unused notebooks and too many pens and markers for my containers

Or redecorate?

@Totalanimefan: I used to have tons and tons of Lisa Frank stickers (among others), and in recent years I've seen those suckers go for ridiculous amounts on eBay. Kinda jealous I don't still have them though I'm not sure I'd be able to bring myself to sell them anyway, lol.
Please ping me!
@Anarchist Beauty: I like the way you think lol
@MaxIsConfused: Do you have a favorite brand? Do you want to share your collection with us?
@CooperationIsKey: Those are so beautiful. I always loved that look growing up. I'm going to change my avatar to the Lisa Frank inspired one I made a while ago. I think I saved it.
