Greetings,
Back in the day people used to write words on pieces of paper. I know this is alien to most of you zoomers that think emojis evoke anything other than cringe and derision BUT we didn't always used to have iPhones and your penance for making that okay is dying from climate change. WITH THAT IN MIND - The fountain pen community is in absolute fricking shambles and it's so fun.
SO - Fountain pens are fancy white people pens that you fill with ink and shit and you use them to write fancy stupid shit on pieces of paper for gender reveal parties and funerals. For literal decades of years the German company LAMY has been the top c*nt of this world - they sell the fanciest pens and they sell the BEST ink that everyone uses and they essentially set the industry standard for all of the people that write shit on pieces of paper.
In 2016 LAMY released a limited edition pen and a limited edition ink to go with it - this ink was Dark Lilac. This ink was like the bees fricking knees. Impossible to recreate - had a golden sheen - did black-to-blue-to-purple like WOAH - this ink was impossible to ignore and no ink company has been able to replicate it since. This ink is basically the best thing to ever fricking happen to anyone ever.
LOOK AT THAT LIFE CHANGIN SHIT
LAMY has never re-released this shade of ink despite it's obvious cult status and most think it's because they literally can't - this was a flash in the pan accident at the factory and that's why no other ink company has been able to replicate that shit. WITH THIS IN MIND - mere days ago the LAMY company advertised two new limited edition pens and two new limited edition inks Safari Pink and VIOLET BLACKBERRY.
THE WORLD LITERALLY EXPLODED YALL
The fountain pen r-slurs were having the world's largest tard rage over whether or not this VIOLET BLACKBERRY was going to be DARK LILAC AND OMG FUFCKING SLKDFJLSKDFJLKSDJFkjk
1500 tard rages later LAMY released a statement saying that Violet Blackberry was an homage to Dark Lilac BUT keep in mind they did not say that it was Dark Lilac but NO ONE cared because they said the words "Dark Lilac" and everyone went absolutely fricking feral.
TRAGEDY
European and Chinese re-sellers bought up ALLLLLL of the Violet Blackberry ink and started posting them online AS Dark Lilac (Temu grade shenanigans basically) because LAMY said it was an homage and no one knows what the frick the word "homage" means anymore because you all only speak in fricking emojis BUT bottles of legit Dark Lilac previously sold for literally thousands of dollars because it was a legit ONE TIME thing that cannot be replicated by any company ever because it's probably full of lead and cancer but when these bottles of Violet Blackberry started filling the market as a cheap version of Dark Lilac people went INSANE and bought them all because DARK LILAC OMG.
TRAGEDY AGAIN
https://x.com/mikeycpa/status/1763633921294524728
SO everyone bought the fake Dark Liles and then once their little prezzies came in the mail they realized that THIS SHIT AINT DARK LILAC OMG - quelle fricking surprise.
https://x.com/sarah_cone/status/1763646231765557748
This new "Dark Lilac" didn't even fricking work half the time and was awful but those c*nts at LAMY never said it was Dark Lilac so everyone that bought all the fake shit overseas for wayyyyyy above market price for regular ink were just r-slurs that couldn't read, right? WRONG
LAMY chose the path of evil and released a public statement that Violet Blackberry was "in fact" also Dark Lilac and that you should totes keep buying all of those shitty bottles of Violet Blackberry under the assumption that they were Dark Lilac from shitty Chinese resellers.
Why they did this is beyond me but it didn't hold water for more than 8 hours as anyone that had used the new ink KNEW it was totally nothing like the old ink. Twitter tards called bullshit and got LAMY to make a statement and the statement was that they were "sorry about making the ink release with the name Dark Lilac" EVEN THO THEY DIDNT EVEN ORIGINALLY DO THAT. Total bullshit to cover up their re-seller shenanigans.
https://x.com/aidandvg1/status/1762578872837746932
SO no one bought any of their bullshit and twitter was INSANE about this shit. The backlash was so severe for two days and then LAMY as a company decided to SELL THEMSELVES TO MITSUBISHI - this happened literally hours ago. Totally insane. Everyone was laid off and LAMY as a company like literally DOES NOT EXIST anymore other than as an online retailer-front.
All because of a stupid fricking fountain pen ink.

Fun fact: if you let normal blue ink age and oxidize for 6+ years you'll get a very similar color too the purple sheen (minus the gold shit). @rDramaHistorian think that's part of the reason why LAMY was hesitant too do it. It takes up too much space and time in inventory and they don't know how demand and supply would be 6+ years later

Japanese pen manufacturers have a much better reputation for consistency and quality. lamy in particular any nib size you get can be +/- a whole size so an M might be as small as an F or as big as a B, an F might range from EF to M, Germans just don't care.

Let @PeepeeButtKiss elaborate further. This ink couldn't have been replicated because it was the result of industrial sabotage when rival ink manufacturers added radioactive material too a batch of LAMYS Ink too poison the workers and stop production. We ALL know how cutthroat the pen and ink game is of course...
Ironically it created the single best ink color in the history of the world as a result of the contamination. Of course the would be saboteur was killed for his efforts and the rival companies who dispatched him in the first place never were able too obtain the specific isotope ratio of the radioactive materiel their agent used... Talk about ironic.

LAMY has (had?) good pens. Any nerds interested in this shit should get a LAMY Safari through JetPens or Goulet Pens to start. Honestly I'm so lazy I use their default cartridges as well. If not I use the hilarious Noodlers ink, made by a libertarian out in a compound in the southwest or something.
