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.

The tips mentioned in that post are all great! Another good resource is @SJHDoesGames' Fighting Friday streams on Twitch because he talks about what he's doing, what the opponent is doing, and why, in ways that are very accessible for new people. It's a positive way to sort of passively get used to the lingo and mindset without any pressure. He's also happy to answer questions and has a command for people to use to look up terms in the FGC glossary.

Oh hey, tomorrow's Friday so anyone who's interested can probably check him out between 6:00pm and 9:00pm Eastern at https://twitch.tv/sjhdoesgames if so inclined! He'll also be speedrunning through King of Fighters XV story mode for Unapologetically Black and Fast at GamesDoneQuick later this month, so I guess that means he's pretty good at fighting games (a thing we used to have to bully him into believing about himself).
