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.

i love it. i love them. i love the drawing and the escalation between them, it's so real. the juxtaposition of their colours and sizes is also extremely good. i love your sense of character design :eggbug:

the panel margins are so good! sorry they gave you trouble, but i think it was worth it.

the juxtaposition of their colours and sizes is also extremely good

(Shoves this compliment in my mouth like its a cookie) Thank you I'm always glad when stuff I do with a lot intention comes through. This entire paragraph makes me really happy in general. Glad you like them... :')

Thanks for the panel margin comment too. I was mostly concerned about readability in a few spots, but I apparently tinkered at it enough that it wasn't as much of an issue as my brain thought it was gonna be

I love it❤️❤️❤️ It’s always exciting to see comics from you, you are so extremely good at making them, so clean, readable, and pleasing to look at!! Plus I’m always so happy to see your characters, very excited about these two!! And very excited to see more! Also enjoyed reading your thoughts about it!
Oh and the background is so nice!!

in reply to @zelkova's post:

Wow these are all soo good! Its been said already in the other comments but I really like how the backgrounds turned out! I think it really adds to the mood of it all. I'm also really enjoying the banter between Mardöll and the Thorn King, excited to learn more about them
