Yes! YES! To the pens! I don't know how they managed. I would mess up every single piece of paper I tried to write on. But Steve would learn good handwriting, and he'd still use it, even in 2014, even if (or especially if) Stark mocked him.
I actually write better with water-based inks with sharp nips, but I don't think I could handle a fountain pen. Especially since if you leave it for a second, it leaks the big puddle of ink, so you would have to be very sure you weren't going to stop halfway through your sentence.
And my childhood was plagued by my awful handwriting which has never improved, so I'm very happy most things are computer-based now. I don't know how authors wrote before typewriters.
His voice is pitch perfect here. And so is Steve's.
Thank you very much! They're a bit rusty, so I'm glad they came off as appropriate.
