Hello! Total newbie here, caught up to the comic a couple hours ago. I usually don't involve myself in fandom things, preferring to just watch from the sidelines...so let's see how this goes! I live in America but my family is from southeast Asia, and my friend was the one who first got me into the comic. Hope I'll have fun here, which shouldn't be too hard because all you people have as-yet unrecorded levels of super nice  :)

Hellooo, it's curru from the chat! :D Welcome to the forums!! I hope you have a great time here, and if you have any questions, just ask! As you said this fandom IS super nice so everybody should be glad to answer your questions! :)

yo, i'm loki. noob. i'm 50% Taiwanese and 50% Caucasian and 100% Asgardian, a few years younger than emil and lalli, and lamer than you; i mainly speak english.  I used to take Chinese, but I quit for art. i can KIND OF still speak it. i really want to learn more languages though, like ALL the ones in SSSS, plus Czech, Japanese, Romani, Taiwanese, French, etc.
uhh, i read a LOT of webcomics.  SSSS (obv), The Property of Hate, Homestuck, Prague Race, Paranatural, Monsterkind, Lost Nightmare, Wilde Life, Demon Street, Kappa, and some i'm probably forgetting.  there are many more that i need to read, and i'm in the process of reading aRTD. 
i love to listen to music (ask me about bands), write, read, draw, pet cats, and sleep. and eat. and tumblr.  this is my first official fan forum that i've joined, and i'm looking forward to good times ahead!  B^) (dunno what else to say, i'm not very interesting...)
p.s.
my name is loki on disqus (prev. heartlesslibrarymonster), and my username is djspookyjim.

Heyyy Loki! Nice to see you on here :) Welcome to the forum. We have lots of topics for languages, so check out the language board and you can find others who speak or are learning the languages you are interested in.

*poof* The definitive answer:
https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=297.msg19982#msg19982

It started as a joke in the Disqus comments, probably around the end of 2014.

Quote from: Piney on February 14, 2015, 07:34:15 PM
I think it was P___ who first posted the cookies, and I followed suit and it apparently turned into my thing.
But yeah, it's certainly a joke (for lack of a better word) that's exclusive to this community.
[example of Piney's squirrel-cookies art:]

The Squirrel cookies started with Sharions comments on nuts only place in cooking was to catch meatier pray: Squirrels, and within a few comments it escalated to the now famous Squirrel Cookies.. So Sharion is the intellectual mother and Starz is the first community baker of the actual cookies.

Hello everyone! I'm Wintermute (although everyone I know on the internet mostly calls me Oxi) and I've been reading SSSS for a couple months but just today decided to join. I'm a 18-year-old boy from Argentina (so Spanish is my native language). I'm pretty interested in learning new languages, and been practising Finnish on my own for a year or two. I also like drawing and all that stuff.

I don't know how rude this would be so I'll just ask: is it okay if I link to my Instagram, Tumblr and stuff?

Anyways, hello everyone! :D

Hola.

There's a tumblr link function in the profile settings. Not sure about instagram. But you can link to anything anywhere as long as it's not pornographic, gory etc etc.

There is a field if on your forum profile that allows you to add these links there. Some people already share their tumblr, deviant arts and the like there.
your tumblr can go into this thread. You will find other people's sites there as well.

Edit: where are my manners today... Welcome to the board XD

Oooooh, a fellow William Gibson fan!
Shwmae a croeso! (¡hola y bienvenido!)
As Kjeks said, it's totally fine to do all of that and half of the social networks have dedicated fields anyway.
Seeing as you've probably already seen the language boards, I'll refer you to our IRC chat- it's #ssss through Quakenet (I recommend an IRC client such as Hexchat).
¡Hasta la vista!

Hi all!  I'm fairly new!  I read A Redtail's Dream ages ago, and I dunno why I didn't start reading SSSS sooner!

I'm from Midwest US, age 26 (almost 27), but I lived in Finland for two years and learned Swedish there - in Åbo/Turku.  I've actually been on a Viking Line ferry!  Um...otherwise, I'm a language nerd, I have really eclectic taste in music, foreign films are fun (even if my bf isn't so interested in them).  I've been hooked on Pokémon games since I was about 10 and they first came out but now I do all the crazy IV breeding and EV training and stuff I never knew existed back when I was a kid; I've also been entirely obsessed with ARK: Survival Evolved for a while now.  I've also been RPing on the Lackadaisy forums for about 8 years!

Umm. . .not really sure what else to say!  XD

Cool!! I'm happy to be here!  I adore languages, but I couldn't quite keep up with the more linguistics based discussions on unilang...  I also have the habit of being very very ADD about things, particularly languages.  D;  (Makes sense, since I do have ADHD, but still...)

Yay! Cookies!!  *noms*
