Unzählbar Noch Die Gleise

People write you such silly/useless/idiotic messages. I've read a few and I commend you for your measured responses. They should be like me and appreciate the cool stuff on your blog (or piss off if they cannot). I love your poetry, I've been learning German for the past few years and I have to do a bit of research sometimes before getting it, but it is fun to understand it/even if I'm missing stuff. Good luck with the morons and your lovely art!

Thank you for taking the time to type that. Really appreciate it.

Glad you enjoy my poetry so much and good luck for mastering the German language; it is not the easiest language to learn.

Do you consider yourself attractive?

In the realm of human perception, attractiveness takes on varied forms, shaped by unique experiences, cultures, and personal perspectives.

However, beauty isn't confined to the physical; it extends to encompass character, personality, and presence. A heart that beats in harmony with your own, a thoughtful mind, and an artistic essence all contribute to the mosaic of what is considered attractive.

As I reflect, I recognize the intricate interplay of perceptions and societal norms in shaping the concept of attractiveness. Yet, this isn't a reflection of self-worth; it's a contemplation of the layers that constitute this idea.

In conclusion, discussions on attractiveness reveal the intricate dance between personal viewpoints, societal standards, and the tapestry of human perception. I find myself just a mere participant, shaped by these threads of subjectivity. And while beauty may indeed reside in the eye of the beholder, my own eyes will never bestow upon me the mantle of attractiveness.

In short: No, I don't.

Thick or thin women?

To be honest, I don't care.

Do you only write poetry or other things as well? What about erotic writings? Can you please share that?

I also write other things besides poetry, and I am no stranger to erotic writings. But I still have to deny your request, because there are reasons why I do not share these writings publicly.

Walls

The walls that I forged, standing through years,

crumbling away, dismissing past fears.

Each one demolished — by my own hand,

at Love's command, none could withstand.

by Weltenasche.

Bedigungsloser Traum

In Stille war entstanden

Nacht für Nacht vereint

Lippen, die verstanden

in einem Herz das nicht mehr weint.

Es war zu schön um wahr zu sein

bedigungloser Traum

empfunden warmer Sonnenschein

am Herzen aufzutauen.

Nur uns war er geboren

folgend leisem Ruf

ratlos schien verloren

was einst noch Trauer schuf;

Denn sie konnte nicht mehr sein

denn ich war zu abgelenkt

in einen Herzen nicht allein

was ich bei Nacht verschenkt.

by Weltenasche.

You're good at calligraphy! May I ask what writing instruments do you use? Please and thank you. 🖋️😊

Thank you.

I had already answered most of this in a previous German reply, but I'm happy to answer it again in English since you asked me so politely.

Nib holder

I use different nib holders, depending on the font. Since I write a lot of broken fonts, I usually use a nib holder made of wood with a chrome grip.

The nib holder is called "Federhalter ARTIST" and I purchased it from the German online store of "feder-fuehrend": https://www.feder-fuehrend.de/products/federhalter-artist-mahagoni-inkl-schreibfeder

Nibs

For the nibs themselves, I use bandzug nibs. I recommend nibs with less elasticity in the beginning, as they are easier to handle, and as you become more confident, you can increase the elasticity.

A good starter set is "Brause & Co, No. 180": https://www.feder-fuehrend.de/products/bandzugfeder-no-180-brause

I currently use the following nibs frequently:

William Mitchell, Pedigree, Round-Hand, Bronze

C. Howard Hunt Pen Co, Speedball Pens, C-Series

Heintze & Blanckertz, No. 600

I purchased these from the German online store "Kallipos": https://shop.kallipos.de/de/produkte/bandzugfedern

Paper

When it comes to paper, I use various types of it; Again, depending on the font, type of work, and writing utensils used.

Practice paper For normal practice, I often use lined practice pads or white non-lined paper with a thickness of 100g/m².

Project paper For my projects I use a different sort of paper. It is important to pay attention to the sizing in order to prevent the ink from "bleeding". In addition to sizing, a matte surface is also important, as ideally the nib should not slip off. I vary the thickness of these types of paper depending on the intended use, but it usually amounts to 120g/m² or 200g/m².

Paper for special inks For special inks, such as the golden ink in some of my uploads, I use special black colored paper from Italy (Burano nero - Roman Tower) in the thickness 200g/m².

I don't really have a store for paper, which I use regularly. At this point, I would just google for the appropriate paper and thickness.

Inks

The inks I use also vary quite a bit. But for the most part I use inks from "Rohrer & Klingner": https://www.rohrer-klingner.de/en/writing-ink/

I especially like to use the iron gall ink "Salix" and "Scabiosa".

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me.

Your Words

Recently you wrote to me and said:

„Your words aren't what they used to be. You wrote of love and so naive; Now all I read is full of grief.

Was it me who left you scarred; Who made your words and heart so hard? If so; it was never my intent I hope some day you'll understand.“

Ich wollte mich einfach mal still und heimlich für Dein regelmäßiges Feedback zu den Posts auf meinen Blogs bedanken.

Von jemandem der so poetisch schreibt wie Du ist es besonders schön ein Like auf nicht annähernd so kunstfertige Texte zu bekommen.

Viel Licht und Positives an Dich!

Und ich würde mich gerne ein wenig weniger still und ein bisschen weniger heimlich für deine lieben Worte bedanken.

Von deinem Licht würde ich gerne einen Teil zurückgeben und mir wünschen, dass du es für deine Texte verwendest, denn wenn ich sie mit einem Like verziere, dann müssen sie sich keinesfalls verstecken und stehen sicher nicht im Schatten meiner Schrifstücke.

Und falls mir ein weiterer Wunsch erlaubt wäre, so würde ich mir wünschen, dass du diesen geheimnisvollen Schleier lüftest, mit dem du dich so gerne kleidest. Es würde mich freuen ein "Gesicht" zu diesen liebevollen Worten zu kennen.
