I'm a Vietnamese cis woman born and currently living in the U.S. You may know me from Sandwich, from Twitter or Mastodon (same username), or on Twitch as Sharkaeopteryx. I do not have a Discord or Bluesky account.

Ask me about language learning/teaching, cooking/eating food, late diagnosis ADHD, and volunteer small business mentoring. Or don't, I'm not the boss of you.


I think people deserve to be young, make mistakes, and grow without being held to standards they don't know about yet and are still learning. So, if you are under 22, please don't try to strike up a friendship or get involved in discussions on my posts.


Please don't automatically assume I follow/know/co-sign someone just because I reposted something from them—sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Also, if you think being removed as a follower when we're not mutuals is a cardinal sin, please do not follow me.

There you are, looking back at yourself. Not unchanged, apparently not unscathed either. You look a bit more PURPLE that usual. A bit rounder too.

The changes come rather quickly after that, as if your body was waiting for the realization to drastically reshape itself. Before you can even question it, your body balloons out into a perfect egg shape, a most wonderful shade of purple.

:eggbug: Oh wow, I didn't expect that to happen!

"Few ever do," says your PARENT/LEGAL GUARDIAN. They pick your INVENTORY up off the ground, which is odd, considering it's a gaming abstraction that doesn't have any physical dimension or location, and remove the POSTS from it.

"I think you know what to do with these," they tell you.

All of your senses have been completely rewired. As far as you can tell, you don't have a nose, but somehow these posts have a... scent? A fairly delicious smelling one at that! But these POSTS aren't for eating.

You scurry your way over to the rippling POOL in the center of the room, flap your little wings, and the knowledge just... comes to you. You begin to manipulate the posts in such a way that they transcend physical limits, and even bend reality itself. These POSTS never belonged to you, they never did. They belong somewhere out there, somewhere BEYOND, where they can be free, and be seen, and read, and clicked on.

:eggbug: This is it! This is the treasure! It's not about us, it's about the POSTS!

Your PARENT/LEGAL GUARDIAN smiles, a small tear in their eye. "I'm so proud of you, Eggbug. You are the Keeper of the Posts now. Well done."

THE END

Final Score:
Egg - 6
Bug - 10
Posting - 4
Total - 20 - Pretty Good!

[Thanks everyone for playing! This channel will take a short hiatus as we prepare our next adventure: Midnight at the Posting Factory. I think you'll enjoy it!]
