Hello! I've already introduced myself over in the Language Introduction thread but was told it would be a good idea to post here too. I started reading SSSS about two weeks ago, by which I mean I read through the entire comic in 24 hours, then most of the fic on Ao3, then the entire tumblr tag, then started planning a D&D campaign with some pals based on the setting...

I've noticed that a bunch of you here are learning Finnish, I moved to Finland about 9 months ago so am of course learning the language myself. (I think I properly fell in love with SSSS when they went through the Tampere-Nokia exclusion zone, because that's where I'm living now and the building outlines by Tammerkoski are still a little recognisable in the comic!) I just started a combination Finnish learning/Onni appreciation blog at onnenlintu.tumblr.com and if I can help anyone out let me know, it's good practise for me too. You're probably more likely to reach me there because it's been years since I was regularly on forums and I'm more a tumblr person now. Please come talk to me about grammatical cases and whether or not you also think Onni does his endearingly terrible mullet himself with a puukko and no mirror.

Tulikokko, hello and welcome. And you know, you could be right about Onni's hairdo. I had wondered whether he cut it himself!

Hey there! :D I'm generally referred to as Lyric across these "interwebs". I've been reading SSSS since its debut, but for some reason have only starting participating in the comment section and forum this year! This community seems really kind and supportive. :) I'm an aspiring cryptologic linguist who is currently meandering through Spanish and Japanese. I have just returned from working and living in Yellowstone National Park for two and a half months. Being there, I loved how I was surrounded by all kinds of different cultures and languages; it was definitely a one-of-a-kind experience! So, of course I enjoy traveling, but I haven't visited too many places yet, including all of the countries in SSSS (I know, what a tragedy  :'( )!

I've grown up adoring animals. I have two cats and two chickens. Additionally, I used to volunteer at a wildcat preserve, which included working with the resident lynxes (nope, none of them were named "Lalli")! One of my favorite things to do there was to sketch the cats in person. <3 So yes, art is a passion of mine like so many of you here. :) I work on visual art and cosplay whenever the motivation strikes (usually two weeks before a convention for the latter :'D ). Naturally, I dream of cosplaying from SSSS someday as either Reynir or Tuuri!

Finally, I'm obsessed with creating characters and stories, so I find original tabletop roleplaying loads of fun with the right people! I'm not involved in a game at the moment, but I'm tentatively looking for a modern setting (preferably World of Darkness) that will take my face blind, discharged Army veteran who owns seventeen cats. :3 /end rambling

Aaah thank you! Are you on there? I will follow :D
I may have an account on tumblr, but I was never really active, I just enjoy follow people with very cool content *-*

Hello everyone!

I've been reading SSSS for a few years now and I have finally decided to join the forum just in case I'd want to say something. I'm from Slovakia, a little Slavic country between Austria, Poland and Hungary. I do prefer being called Johny or something similar since my name is usually translated from my native language to English as such. I read a lot in English, but I rarely speak or write so feel free to correct me.  At the moment I study psychology at a university, but my time is coming to an end.
Besides SSSS I do enjoy reading other webcomics, SPAM-SSSS (I'm a secret fan for some time), light hiking and talking about various topics (from linguistics to physics). In the past, I also participated in few larps so I enjoy some roleplaying and appreciate when someone takes time to make cosplay.
