As with every time this is posted, someone has to come point out that this picture is completely unrelated. He had 2 prosthetics, both can be found on his Wikipedia page.
Guess I'm the one who gets to be pedantic this time!
Writing with this thing sounds difficult because most of us write with our fingers. Proper writing technique is all arms since that allows you to write much more without fatigue. So as long as your elbows and shoulders are intact, you can just duct tape a pen to your stump and write just as well as you can with a hand. Think of writing on a chalkboard, but scale it down to a piece of paper.

That's a left arm

Technically correct, the best kind of correct!
OP could be funny and just change the pic in the post out with this one to gaslight you.
I literally just did that and was gonna write "check again, bucko"
you beat me to it
Maybe he lost his left arm too
He wrote be clutching the quill betwixt his buttcheeks
Booty text

Writing poetry, ha! Ash can crush a metal cup with his hand.

They didn't have duct tape back then. Mechanical arm was obviously the only solution left
He also coined the popular German insult "Leck mich am Arsch" (literally "lick my ass").
Is that not what the very bottom line in the picture says?
So it does.
Another fun fact about the guy though is that he's credited with coining the phrase "lick my ass" in his poetry.
Tit says that already
Oh, true. He also wrote the first known usage of the popular phrase "lick my ass" though. Fun fact.
Well we don't know that it popularized the phrase from that
I’m fairly sure Catullus wrote poetry with similar phrases in it more than a thousand years earlier
Catullus means puppy.
Then what does Dogullus mean?
Old puppy
I like the bit about his friends having to roll a natural 20 to get him out of gaol.
And a bribe.
Ti's but a scratch
There is nothing stopping you from becoming a mercenary and getting your arm shot off, OP.
Violet Evergarden irl. The warrior poet thing at least
