Description
I'm naturally right-handedSo,
when I lost my arm,
I sort of had to learn how to use my left hand just as competently as my right
As useful as auto-mail is,
it's not exactly the best at handling anything gently or with precision *chuckles*
Don't get me wrong,
it's possible,
it just takes a long ass time to perfect even the simplest things
I can't tell you how many weeks it took me to learn how not to completely crush an egg
If relearning something as basic as holding something took that long,
I don't want to think about how difficult it would be to try and hold a pen,
not snap it in two,
and actually write with it
Gah

It's not easy,
and it takes a lot of time
Even after almost 7 years it's still not as easy to write with my left hand as it is with my right

Oh, I've heard that martial arts also include learning how to use both of your hands the same, right? Or is it different?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Eh...
Kind of
You've got to learn how to fight with both sides equally,
but it doesn't require a whole lot of finesse

"Gently and with precision", huh? *eyebrow wiggle*

Well, I suppose I should just be happy that you didn't hurt anything precious. Winry would be upset, wouldn't she? *giggle*

Wow, you really are clueless.

That's pretty interesting. :3 So when you learned how to use both,you never had any problems since you could use the left if your automail was broken, or you could use the right if ... Well something happens to your left arm... XD Hope it doesn't.

I didn't really use my auto-mail for a whole lot
Not if I could avoid it, anyway
It's really to accidently snap a pen or pencil clean in half when you can't actually feel your grip

I see, makes sense. Heh heh, I noticed before, your hair is finally long enough again to put in a braid! X3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's been long enough for a while
I just choose not to braid it

... extreme
Especially seeing how I still had an available hand
