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 themโ€”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.

Dissatisfied with the existing template I'd found long ago (probably on KnowYourMeme) that was low-resolution and built from cropped versions of the movie frames for some reason, I borrowed the Blu-Ray of โ€œDespicable Meโ€ from the library so I could make a proper version.

Each of the frames is straight from the Blu-Ray rip, not scaled at all. Arrayed two-by-two, and with a black background to fill out the aspect ratio difference*, they fit into a 4K image perfectly.

This image is a PNG, to further minimize quality loss before you add your own elements of Gru's plan and export as JPEG.

*The movie's actual footprint is 1920 by 1040, so 40 pixels less-tall from the standard 1080.
