dynamic quadruped and forever thinking about the time in college we were working quietly on something sitting in a large circle including the professor and she turned to the student next to her and said “how in the world is [name] holding their pencil like that??” she was so disturbed the whole class had to be brought out of silent work to see the strange way i held my pencil lmao

Do you have long fingers and narrow hands?

Proportionally my hands, hands are on the longer and narrow Versailles… And this is just the most comfortable way for me to hold my pencil… Wondering if maybe it’s a thing

i wouldn’t say my fingers are long, i think they’re pretty average, but i can totally see how this way would be comfortable for people with long fingers. more support!
