What Ink for Cthulhu Month
I consider October, with its climatic horror holiday to be Cthulhu Month.
I want to use an ink this month that is evocative of H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu. I will probably only use a sampler sized amount so something that comes in a sample would be perfect.
Additionally I'm a cheapskate so I don't think I want to buy a whole bottle.
I'm thinking something green-black or green soap stone-ish or maybe something bruise purple.
Anyone have any suggestions?
I LIKE feathering; it looks pretty.

Right now I'm using Stipula Musk Green in one of my three Halloween pens. If it was any murkier it would be black. ;p
My other pen is a Montblanc.
And my other blog is a tumblr!

If you can get it, Montblanc Jonathon Swift Seaweed Green seems like an ideal choice.

Hmmmm...having both, I would say that the MB is a little softer and more gray-leaning. But as a LE could you still get hold of it?

Heart of Darkness sounds like it's named appropriately, although it is black rather than any of the colours you requested.
"What are moon-letters?" asked the hobbit full of excitement. He loved maps, as I have told you before; and he also loved runes and letters, and cunning handwriting, though when he wrote himself it was a bit thin and spidery.

Sailor (Pen & Message) Cigar....A sickly brown-green.
R&K Alt-Goldgrun has always seems rather Cthulhu green to me.

Actually the Daniel Dafoe green that MB just came out with is good. Maybe that would work too.

Noodlers Air-Corp Blue-Black (actually a green-black)

I heartily second this, & if you pm your address to me, I'll be more than happy to furnish you with a sample large enough to satisfy the hungriest, head-popping Shoggoth, or the foulest Shantak.Originally Posted by mtnbiker62

As soon as the audience begins to participate, any actual content is lost in the resulting chaos and cacophony.
At that point, all you can do is laugh and enjoy the descent into debasement.

A pure, strong irongall ink, which turns black (in a black fountain pen where the nib is the only metal part).

De Atramentis had a green I think would work you. It was from the Harry Potter/Wizard inspired line and was called 'Potions Class'. It was this slickly looking green grey that was very well behaved and water resistant! But it stunk! Too bad Goulet doesn't carry the line anymore.

Noodler's Burma Road.
A swampy, infected, bilge-like grey green milked from the Rugoid Fungus of Mars!

What about any of the Cult Pens Dark Inks? Dark Purple sounds good to me.
Re: What Ink for Cthulhu Month
Noodler's El Lawrence is also a suitably eldritch colour & I could imagine Nyarlathotep scribbling some indecipherable note with it.I like it!
