Fancy has a lot of meanings. For me, fancy means higher quality, for you means glitter/shimmer inks, which I personally don't prefer to use. However, having different opinions are OK, though, this is how it should be.

For me, a good permanent or IG ink is fancy enough, because I can use them in my lab notebooks and be sure to open and re-read it five years later. For you, a fancy ink brings you joy and has different tricks IIUC, and is equally valid.
