Lamy Safari, the gateway drug to pen collecting. Everything considered, it is not even that stellar a pen but it is good in getting people hooked.

I need those notebooks in my life, how does the paper handle fountain pen ink?

edit: nvm, they don't sell in the EU

If you mean Archer and Olive, there's another company called Odyssey Notebooks https://odysseynotebooks.com/ that uses the exact same paper for their 160 gsm journals. It looks like there are a few retailers in the EU that sell them, including one in Germany that ships within the EU. It handles fountain pen ink very well! It's so thick it almost feels like overkill sometimes, but it takes markers and some paints really great too. (Translucent watercolor is the one thing it can't handle super well, but most multimedia papers can't so it's not surprising.)

... spicy opinions like Final Fantasy IX being the best FF game. :v:

This is correct.

On topic, I have a few blackout journals myself now and while I have a pretty big stock of gel pens that work with them, I've been having trouble thinking of what to use them for (there is a tiny one I've been keeping random notes in, but I have I think two blackout A5s and a B5 as well. The black paper just looks cool!). Although I have a pretty sizeable amount of regular white paper notebooks too, so that might be more of a me problem than one with the paper color at this point.

How about IX is the best main line and Tactics is the best spinoff (I also love Tactics).

I borrowed someone's pen, and it was a Pentel Energel 0.3 needle tip. Felt amazing to write with.

Dunno if I'll replace my Sakura Microns but it's a contender.

Edit: Yes, I gave the pen back, I'm not a monster.

It's a very good pen, especially for tiny writing. I'm on my second one.
