Some said they got it watching people writing. Well, put your headphones on, because this is the mother of all calligraphy ASMR videos.

It's a demonstration of a fountain pen—a Namiki Falcon customized by nibmeister John Mottishaw—with crystal clear video and sound, writing with various inks (if you're curious: Iroshizuku Tsuki-yo, Iroshizuku Yama Budo, Noodler's Black, Noodler's Apache Sunset) on Bristol board and Leuchtturm1917 dot grid notebook paper.
