SEX

in the last thread someone called my handwriting sexy
I dont want to post it again

Mine looks like it was written in a toddler's grip with the wrong hand.

Handwriting thread?

>>13181838
those are weird looking dildos anon

Everyone I've ever known had atrocious handwriting.

They valued fancy looking cursive over legibility. I write everything in shorthand and anyone who doesn't is a retard. If I can't read your handwriting at a glace, it's shit.

>>13181920
Do you mean actual shorthand like pic related or just print?

>>13181503

A mixture of phonetic short-hand, pictographs, ideograms, ciphers, and totems. If someone can read your handwriting without extensive study, it's shit

>>13182072

what the fuck

>>13182097
based faggot. extremely based faggot. i suggest you have a look at my handwriting here: >>13182072

>>13182082
Adding to this, your shorthand should also borrow liberally from Arabic Calligraphy, Egyptian Hieroglyphics, runes, cryptography, tarot, mathematics, western occultism, puns, psychoanalysis, your own dreams, and the grammatical rules of various languages you're acquainted with.

If you're not pushing the envelope of what can be expressed or even conceived of in dreamy pastiche of free association and mathematical rigor, you'll never be anything more than a pleb who's entire mode of self expression is merely the expression of a monstrous cultural consciousness playing you like a puppet

I see you've touched upon borrowing from dreams. The only way to truly write is by writing IN your dreams, using the entirety of your sleeping reality as a pencil. There is no greater penmanship than the one that will shatter and create worlds through a simple stroke. The pen is god, you are the master of the pen, you are the one above god.

The real question is, what is the most lit penis size to have? That’s what all these threads boil down to isn’t it? I say it’s 4 and a half inches. Just below average enough to disappoint a sexual partner, but still large enough for one to feel as if that disappointment is unjustified, making the /lit/tle guy feel like a victim.

Handwriting varies in a spectrum of who the intended audience is.

Myself, Family, friends and public illicit different responses from the hand-writer.

If even you can't read your own as easily as New Times Roman. Then you are participating in a not needed game of archeology for others and yourself.

Language is the paint, letters are the strokes and thought manifested; is the art

You'd just be wasting your time when literally all you need to know is in >>13182253, ya dunce.

Literally just read the wiki page on shorthands, practice a bunch, and don't forget to keep things phonetic. If you want to go deeper, pick up an introductory book on Arabic and skim it to get an idea of what an elegant/beautiful shorthand looks like. Remember though, its better to make things up as you go along than rely too much on having to memorize somebody else's creativity.

If you really want to take thing's a step further, read How to Read Egyptian Hieroglyphs by Mark Collier and Bill Manly. They will show you the basic rules of Egyptian, which allows aesthetics to take precedent of direction, and will free you from the constraints of writing left to right. It will also teach you about using symbols which have both ideographic and phonetic meaning. Also read the section on creating pictographs in Libre Null Psychonaut. It's an interesting concept, and extremely useful mnemomic tool. Reading tarot cards can also help understand the usefulness of symbols which don't have necessarily "clear" meanings attached to them.

As you start to expand your vocabulary, it's useful to branch into different civilizations than our own. Ancient Egypt had nine different symbols for "soul", each with it's own nuance and meaning. Similarly, the Greeks had as many words for "love". There's no reason not to pillage and simplify these concepts for your own use, while also expanding your capacity for expression.

Approach language as something to be created, not studied, and use study to aid your own creative endeavors.

how about some pictures instead of literally describing your own handwriting in prose nigger

>>13181838
What’s the point of a fountain pen if you are not going to do variable width lines? Serious question, please respond.

>>13182652
The most common nib grinds on fountain pens don't make variable width lines.

The main point of a fountain pen is how little pressure it takes to write, how smooth the writing feels, and being able to refill it with bottled ink.

>>13182652
The flow and smoothness. My writing has more curves than most print styles. It's much faster than ball point. It takes less pressure too.

>>13181571
Come on, post it...

This is from Borges? Holy based.

after i tried fountain pens once, i stuck with them because they make it less practical to write print than cursive and so i stopped cramping my hand with hyper-compact allcaps print writing and taught myself cursive instead

>>13187329
Yeah. Find a good style you like and consciously imitate it on a daily basis, copying out passages from books or songs or poetry etc. After a while it will feel natural and you can stop practising.

>>13182195
>merely the expression of a monstrous cultural consciousness playing you like a puppet

Easy there. You're setting people up to be surprised when syntellectual art is stunning and beautiful. You're not wrong, but ease up on the rhetoric.

Look into the Palmer Method as a start.

kys americano. english roundhand or die

>>13187461
Roundhand is far too busy, where Palmer is best between legibility and aesthetic. If you want to be more elaborate, then Spencerian is better for that.

Of course, sometimes you have to articulate after digesting, sometimes that articulation IS the the digesting, the whole thing is variable. It's all very custom

bad taste in ballpoints. uni-ball signo 1mm is the way to go.

see how each letter of "have" is one line while the whole word "sex" is one line. my handwriting is a bit inconsistent with whether it's cursive or print. it's not really ever nice, neat-looking, proper cursive like you see in the movies.

Left: Letter from your imouto
Right: Love letter from Kiki
(Collect all 6!)

And then the pictured text is a letter from "Hina" to the effect of "I've always loved you, Onii-chan, but our love is a forbidden love, so it would be best for us to find other people...no matter what, I'll always be rooting for you!".

I have the worst handwriting ever.
Also my hand hurts when I write too fast probably because I learned the wrong way to hold the pen.
How do I achieve one that is both legible and fast?
