*You check the page comments and the forums more often than your other social media, because, hey, everyone here is talking about things that interest you.
*You start to catalog people's names and icons in both places, and keep track of who comments the most, then consider yourself to be in a secret club of hardcore fans with said people because you also refresh/read/comment as much, or you at least hope to become chummy with them and absorb some fandom glory.
*You make it a goal to be a part of the welcoming committee for all the new readers filtering in, lost and confused after binge reading SSSS
*You also make it your goal to indoctrinate said new readers into the community by explaining the drinking game, making sure they know what gender the characters are, and linking them to aRTD to make sure they've read it.

(not sure how many of those have been mentioned before, but have not quite made it through all 17 pages of comments yet)

...When you invite your friend over and have an SSSS themed dinner party with some Swedish food your mother brought from Ikea.
       

    Including äppeldryck...
       

    ...and dryck blåbär...
       

   ...in an ugly moose cup...
       

   ...along with some kakor choklad...
       

   ...and of course some Lallicookies!
       

   It was fun!

Meatballs. Of course it's meatballs. Please tell me those are crisp breads because that would just be over the top hilarious.

You start learning semi-obscure European languages and your friends make fun of you for it :P
Doubly so if you do that and your friends (read: the people who will talk to you) *don't* make fun of you!

Wow, that looks like *so* much fun.  (And I like being able to put faces to the names on the Forum and Disqus.)

I sometimes make SSSS-themed Swedish pea soup, and could easily get tasty treats from my local IKEA to have a party like that.  But I don't know anyone else who likes SSSS.   :(

Keep up the great work! 

EDIT:  What's the light-greenish stuff/things in the red dish in front of Fiona?

Thanks! The green food is gronsaskaka, a potato broccoli thing.

When your assignment is to make a face out of a specific letter (I was assigned 'f') and you think "that 'f' looks like Emil's nose" ...and you somehow end up with this:


Very Awesome!

Well, we can definitely admire your dedication - there's some 20000 posts on here at this point (and a sizable portion of them are quite silly)!

...when you see a random stranger and think "That person looks like some kind of strange Emil-Lalli lovechild!"
(For the record, I do not ship people other than thinking that the way they act towards each other is kinda sweet in a semi-platonic sort of way)
He really did though. It was kinda scary.
