I'll start :) How I got to reading SSSS I've already said. I'm nearly 28 years old by now and work as a teacher for children with different behavioral disorders. I'm not fully done yet, my final exam will be in february. Besides being on the internet I try to learn several languages which could be usefull on my job.
I'm Editing this for Nimphy :):
Hallo Nimphy. Ich habe im November Geburtstag. Ich fotografiere gerne. Ich lese auch sehr viel. Die meisten Bücher sind auf Englisch. Ich sitze nicht gerne rum und jogge sehr viel. Joggen gehe ich am liebsten im Wald. Viel Spaß beim Übersetzen.

Edit for Kex:
Heh, I'm kinda ashamed to admit I only understood about half of what you said (I'm pretty sure I grasped the general concept, but not the exact meaning of the sentences word-per-word) by reading it a few times. I've been learning German for what, a month now? I feel like I should be already able to understand all of that :(
But hey, thanks for the effort!

I know English and am working on learning German - I am redicuously excited that I can easily understand your paragraph, kex - and cannot spell in any language. At least German usually follows its own spelling rules.
Other than that I enjoy reading and writing, can play clarinet, dislike inconveniencing people, wish spell check was working, and am also apparently going to be a scientist.

I know English fluently, but still need to work on my Korean. I have too many ideas of what I want to do, so I'm sticking with learning German and then continuing Icelandic.
I usually draw, but I also just come up with ideas every now and then - whether it's a set of characters or a story. I'm a not-so-great-in-social-situations person, loves food too much for some reason, and I think I may end up being a therapist.

I would say "g'day" but it's so clichéd and "howdy" sounds more fun ;3
I'm a full-time art/fine arts student and less-full-time farm girl from the "Apple Isle". I was the same age as Emil and Lalli when the comic started, but now I'm a year younger than Tuuri, making me the same age as Mr. Eich down there :P (and also suspecting that our birthdays might be weirdly close O___O but who knows? It's a mystery~ ;P)
I like cute things and nice peacefulness, but equally enjoy the badass side and getting my hands dirty. Literally. Dirt all over everything. It's happened.
Because of my lifestyle I switch between a respectable polite young lady and grime-covered rural lass, so my post-writing can get pretty weird.
I speak English, and hack my way through French, even though I should be fluent by now :P

I say I speak fluent English though that's mostly really true in writing; I understand spoken English fairly well but I don't have a really good accent.
I have studied many other languages but none stuck because I have no motivation to make them stick —English stuck because most of the internet is in English and I'm there everyday. Notably I must have tried to learn Japanese at least 4 times, every time to eventually give up. I'd like to learn Icelandic at some point because it has a really cool spelling system, but I my knowledge of Icelandic culture is basically one film, so that would probably not be enough to motivate me.
Generally I'm good at grammar but bad at vocabulary (I studied Turkish for 3 years and yet could never hold even a basic conversation, because I could never remember the words, even though I knew otherwise how to form complex sentences in proper Turkish, provided I had a dictionary).
I mostly like things no one cares about and mostly dislike things that everyone else likes —I am not doing it on purpose.
My life is going nowhere but I have never lived through misery so there's that.

I'm from Malaysia, 3.5th generation Malaysian Chinese, and the languages I know are English (like duh), Chinese, and Malay (they tell me my accent sounds foreign, though. :( ). I can read Indonesian because it's very close to Malay, and I can understand spoken Hokkien (Min Nan) and just a smidge of spoken Cantonese. I've considered learning Icelandic and moving to Iceland, partly because my Icelandic friend's mom wanted to adopt me and I hadn't gotten a job. (My parents are alive and well, and I have a job now.)
Post by: Lenny on October 19, 2014, 11:29:18 PM
My discovery of Minna's works was pretty much the same as potatobunny's! GirlGenius got me onto SSSS, then I read ARtD twice, then SSSS twice again. I started commenting when I'd caught up to the latest page on my second readthrough of SSSS, and made an account on the forums almost as soon as they were made. My own personal opinion is that if Minna continues going the way she is, she'll become quite a big name in the comic world. To me, she is brilliant and a really cool role model, and her comics brighten my day each time I read through them.
I'm from... all over the place, really. I've lived the longest in Tasmania, Australia, though. I'm a cross-breed myself - Dutch and South African. I speak Dutch, Afrikaans, and of course, English - but, due to living with people who know all three of those languages, they've bled into each other. Yay. I'm trying to get them more purified, but it's a long and irritating process.
Due to time differences, busy schedule, and a really perfectionistic and slightly insecure personality, I don't post too much. I do lurk around, though - resident ninja, haha. Even though I don't comment much, I find this the nicest and one of the most diverse communities I've joined yet!
(I also go through font phases. Currently it's Baskerville Old Face, previously it was Bookman Old Style, and I might be horrible and go for Old English Text MT or Arabic Typesetting next. I avoid Comic Sans, Times New Roman, and Calibri like the plague.)
Post by: Sunflower on October 20, 2014, 05:07:04 AM
I'm... a few years older than Taru. I live in Silicon Valley, where I work (or more precisely, am looking for work) in marketing communications. I've been a writer, word person, and fount of useless knowledge as long as I can remember. I worked as a journalist, researcher, and copy editor before going into marketing, so maybe it was inevitable that I'd be drawn to the role of skald and archivist here.
I have kind of a split personality -- on one hand, I'm a sedate, respectable voter and taxpayer who's fond of cute little cardigans, pearl earrings, and "Mad Men"; on the other, I have a substantial geek side. For example, when handed a super-powerful Dyson vacuum at a church clean-up day, I couldn't help but brandish it and proclaim, "BY THE POWER OF GREYSKULL!" before settling down to vacuum pet hair and glitter off the pew cushions.
I'm a late-breaking convert to comics, or rather "sequential art" (as the awesome Scott McCloud terms this art form in Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art (http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Comics-Invisible-Scott-McCloud/dp/006097625X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1413795769&sr=1-1&keywords=Scott+McCloud)).
I follow a fair number of Web comics, and came to SSSS via ads on the Girl Genius site. This is the first fandom I've joined -- or Web community of any kind, really. (I'm really put off by the nastiness that breeds in some online communities/comment threads. And I'm afraid I used to look down on fandoms as showing unseemly enthusiasm for "trivial" things.... until I found myself neck-deep in one.)
I got into SSSS in late June, when the plot began speeding up. I had glanced at the Prologue, but it wasn't grabbing me. So I only made perfunctory checks every few weeks.
Then suddenly in Chapter 2, something clicked. Character interaction! Humor! Pathos! Backstory! Emil's suitcase full of explosives! Adorable horsies! Lalli being spooked by the moving sidewalk! At that point I was hooked, and went back to reread it all from the start (as well as aRTD, which I had drifted away from somewhere in Chapter 4.).
THEN I discovered the Disqus comments under each page, and my fate was sealed. As others here have said, SSSS attracts a remarkable community. When Eich set up this forum, I promptly joined -- and have been posting so much that I sometimes think I should just shush and give everyone else a chance to talk.
I like cooking, opera and ballet, salsa dancing, fonts, and wandering around outside. I am fussy about spelling and grammar, probably because I majored in Latin in college. My favorite writers include Jane Austen, Ursula K. LeGuin, Bill Bryson, and Robertson Davies.
I got my forum name from a photo of some flowers I'd grown -- the first thing to catch my eye when I was looking for a suitable icon.

Hungarian bookworm here, brutally butchering English language for far too long (and still not getting better in it).
My first act in life was to cause some disturbance in the force by being born on the day we call "Day of the Dead" (http://www.forbes.com/sites/luizaoleszczuk/2013/10/31/day-of-the-dead-brings-life-to-eastern-european-cemeteries/). Someone above must have known that I'd grow up to love black humour. (I'm not much younger than Sigrun, by the way, and female.)
I'm a whimsical type, so one can catch me reading Baudelaire one day, webcomics the next and the Malazan Chronicles from Steven Erikson on the third. (Well, this "jumping around" comes handy when I try to sell books, which is my job.) That's why, when I first found SSSS, I left it after a few pages. (Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!)
The second time I saw it, I was in a really bad mood, and the bleeding landscapes were love at
Truth to be told: I was thinking about joining in the discussions for a longer while. After reading the comments for some time, I decided that I definitely like the mentality of the people here - so here I am, posting not just under a comic, but even on a fan forum, which I've never done before. Doh. It must be that I'm going soft in my old age...

I usually use a lot of emoticons when I type, so this is definitely a rarity. Ummm lets see what else... I'm trying to get better at drawing and cooking!

Afterwards, I'llbe unemployedtry to find work as a journalist, if possible at a science magazine. I love reading fantasy and science fiction as well as non-fiction books. I think I've already described how I've come to find SSSS in another thread. When I'm not online, I'm probably outside jogging or hiking, or in the gym, since I'm very much into karate. Languages are also a passion of mine although I find it difficult to keep the ones alive I've already learnt :-\ But hey, the forum is not only a wonderful place to chat away, but also to practice my English and some other languages thanks to our international public here! :)
You don't like Weißwurst? Nothing's better than being on a heavy metal festival in southern Germany and starting the day with Weißwurst and sweet mustard ;).
Did you study "ordinary" journalism or did you specify? My boyfriend actually studied technical journalism, that's why I'm asking.

I studied "ordinary" communication sciences in combination with french and lots of side-topics (we get credits for a free study section where we can choose any lecture - I mostly took biology and ethnology). I guess with a specialization on technical journalism, it's easier to find a job?
Mainly it's easier, because many of the bigger corporations like Audi, Hecklar & Koch or even WMF (that counts for smaller businesses as well) provide jobs besides the public relations (especially for designing and editing instruction manuals). But though he has finnished his studies just recently he still sticks with his job at a shop, selling special cases for technical instruments/weapons (etc.), because he likes it there.

It was my dream job too, I just never grew out of wanting it :P
With palaeo you can go one of three routes: oil and gas industry, lecturing or museum work. I went down the museum route as I specialise in science communication and education (basically I love teaching others about natural history!). Unfortunately I entered the field during the recession when budgets were being slashed and museums lost a lot of funding, meaning jobs are very scarce. Temp jobs are the best you can hope for, and even then the competition is fierce; I once applied for a part time job that had over 200 applicants! With hindsight I should have stuck with lecturing, but to get back on that route would cost over £10,000, which I simply can't afford. Sigh. Nothing to do but keep applying.
Basically what I'd be doing is educating museum visitors, designing workshops and activities etc. Previously I've lead guided fossil walks and identified specimens members of the public brought in. I absolutely loved it and really want a permanent job doing it. Saying that I also wouldn't mind doing curating and exhibition design.
In a nutshell I really, really love my dead fossilised animals :D

I'm a Finn, twice as old as Tuomi plus eight years. I speak, understand, read and write Finnish and English, understand written Swedish and some spoken Swedish too and can get along speaking simple Swedish if I really have to. My first foreign language in school was German, but since I haven't had much use for it I've forgotten most of what the teachers managed to cram into my head in ten years. Can still read books in German though.
In uni my major subject was archaeology and minors folkloristics and comparative religion. I switched to a polytechnic to study web media when it turned out my hands simply can't take the strain of archaeological field work, but I'm still really interested in everything ancient and all folkloristic and religious phenomenons. I have a bachelor of arts in web media but that hasn't helped me to get a corresponding job, so I earn my part of the upkeep of our family working as a security guard/receptionist.
Besides my family (= husband and two sons) I have four great loves in my life: The forest we live by, The Finnish Tolkien Society, Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu and a geek women's choir called Another Castle. The little time that isn't consumed by these (plus my work of course) I spend mostly reading, drawing, playing music, knitting, crocheing and hanging on the Internet.
I found SSSS through an ad on Girl Genius, didn't quite get the hang of it but continued through to aRTD (which I read in Finnish), then tried SSSS again and realised it was actually the best web comic I had seen so far (not that I've seen very many).

I had to google Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu - it sounds like a really interesting and multifaceted martial art. I hope I'll get the chance someday to learn another eastern martial art besides karate, preferably one with weapons.
Aikido is pretty interesting, and while weapons are secondary, they occasionally come up in the training (mostly bokken and bo or jo).

I've tried Aikido and I really liked the concept of using your opponent's energy, but I gave up after the second session. It was the complete opposite from everything I am used to (hard blocking, straight techniques etc.), and I just couldn't make myself be easy enough. ::) But that was years ago, I might give it another try if there's the chance.
Made a similar experience which would also seem to happen on any other fight/defence orientated sport: I really wasn't able to put my arms and legs in the right order. So I stick with running through the woods. Also the Aikido class took place with around 40 people which is way too much for a small gym.

This is a great thread =)The Finnish Tolkien Society? I'm going to guess that you know Mikko Ojala, then? I'm not sure if he's a part of the society, but he's a biiiiig Tolkien fan. He's in the SSSS comments most days, with a picture of Gandalf for his avatar. Incidentally, he is also one of the coolest commenters Minna's got, and the first bard of the comic.

I may know him but the name doesn't ring a bell. If he's a memeber of the society, I probably know him by his forum nick. Since the society operates mostly through it's forum Vihreä Lohikäärme (http://keskustelu.kontu.info/), "The Green Dragon", nicks are used also in irl meetings and official names are hard to remember.
Edit: Oops. Sorry Richard. That's a good idea, so no more chatting from me in this thread.

"Erudite and charming" (Sunflower's words ! I would never have dared write that myself ! *blush*) Frenchman here.
Living somewhere in the region of Lyons after many years spent in Paris, age...er... halfway between Taru and Trond.
Graduated as an engineer, with a crush on math, worked in IT, currently unemployed.
Speaks French, English, German. Deeply regrets having left Latin, fancies learning Italian and ancient Greek (will perhaps do), Arabic and Japanese (will most probably never do)...Life is always too short.
Found SSSS thanks to an ad on Girl Genius, got intrigued by the prologue (this is a slow and rather boring story but it goes somewhere, and how beautiful are the landscapes and the art ! Ah, those maps !) and more than rewarded by the following chapters. And what is this bunch of nice and crazy comment writers ?
That's the story.
tl;dr : average SSSS addict.

Hi, I'm Richard, I'm in my early 50s and live in the UK.

I had to google Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu - it sounds like a really interesting and multifaceted martial art. I hope I'll get the chance someday to learn another eastern martial art besides karate, preferably one with weapons.
I miss my karate class so much... I was only a "yellow" belt and wasn't even that good at karate but I've never felt better than after a session. Unfortunately a few months ago our karate teacher had to stop and we've been unable to find a replacement class. (All the martial arts around here are either tae kwon doe - I'm so sorry if I misspelled that - or the wrong style of karate. I hope we can find somewhere to do it soon.
...I just realized that while technically a yellow belt, I never actually received it. Is it strange that I'm amused?
Also, I can't believe how many people came here from Girl Genius.

I entered the world of aRTD from a link in topwebcomics at the end of chapter 4, and have followed the comic and the comments since, first as a lurker only, nowadays chipping in to join the conversations. I love computer games as a pastime, and also used to sing in a choir - I enjoyed that a lot but it took just a bit too much time and energy.
Post by: Sunflower on October 24, 2014, 11:12:37 PM
It impressed me and so many others that I asked his permission to share it here. (With any luck, he'll take to posting on his own behalf...)
Michael
The journey started when I came across a comment somewhere on the internet. Where exactly? I can't quite remember but it mentioned a web-comic titled, 'A Red Tail's Dream.'
"Huh," I said to myself, "I like dreams! And a dream that involves a fox? Well, good-golly-gosh, I like foxes too."
And so, I clicked the link. Next thing I knew, I was busting through the amazing and beautiful mountain of archives of, what I learned to call it, 'aRTD.' I read every word on every page, even the note made below each post, written by a mysterious lady born in Sweden, the very same lady who had brought so many strangers this fascinating and amazing creation.
I have to admit, these notes - these small windows into the life of the author - were just as inspirational as the comic itself. For, being a college student myself, I realized something.
Despite the mounds of assignments that pile up, despite the stress, and despite the staying up until four o'clock, it is also possible to do amazing things on top of it all. One needs to work diligently and budget their time. Which, as the cliché goes, is far more easier said than done.
However, seeing Minna accomplish such a feat during her last two years of college - a time when that dreaded thesis is due - has given some random person, all the way across that little lake called the Atlantic Ocean, here in the United States, some hope and inspiration for upcoming college days that are sure to be difficult.
Now, here I am, after I busted through the archives of 'Stand Still. Stay Silent,' attempting to see just how much Disqus can handle, loving every word and every color. And, as final note, I give a big ol' thanks to Minna!
P.S. Well, I'm sure everyone got their daily dose of romanticism for the day! :D. Oh, and as a final final note, I've never made a comment before on a web-comic page.
P.S.S. One final final final note, my favorite character is Lalli... and... a close-second-possible-tie is Mikkel!
OrigamiOwl --> Michael
Hello fellow college-goer! I too see Minna and her work as a shining example of defeating the gloomy and stressful college mindset~! There is indeed a light at the end of that long, long, essay-filled tunnel ÚuÙ and it's very refreshing and inspiring to be reminded of that.

Like most Finns, I've got a few languages under my belt... I speak Finnish, English, Swedish and German fluently, French and Italian work best in written form. ;) Though I do get along in both if needs be!
I haven't been active on any forums for years! Goodness! But this community seemed too good to miss. :)
Edit: Fun fact: I was born and lived until I was 19 in Mikkeli, the city mentioned on this page: http://sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=24 (http://sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=24)

Then Bujinkan might be your thing since we have lots of weapons ;)
But seriously, Bujinkan is a very interesting form of budo. Since it's a combination of nine differnet ryu, "schools", it's really versatile. And since the basic idea is that anything that works is right it also gives lots of room for creativity, even though there are of course lots of formal kata too to base the henka, "variations", on. I also like the fact that we practice the art for it's own sake, not to compete, and each and everyone progresses in their own pace according to their personal condition.
Edit Oooops. Sorry again Richard, forgot where I was since I noticed someone interested in Bujinkan ;)

My name is RumbleRose which is a made up of a word that starts with and R and my name but then pronouncable for most people. I guess I unconsiously chose the Rumble part because of the rumbling of thunders and storms which scare me a lot just like batman is afraid of bats :)
I found SSSS when I was looking at topwebcomics. And SSSS looked like a comic worth reading, little did I know that it was so much more! :o I first red aRTD because I thought it might be a prequal of some sort.
And I live in the Netherlands and love nature and animals and am pretty much a nerd and geek (combo!) and love to draw. And I am younger than Lalli.
that is my storeyyy, yeahh
Post by: Noah O. on October 29, 2014, 08:19:14 PM
Another thing you probably didn't want to know about me: I like anime. Especially the dark, horrifying stuff like Attack on Titan, Madoka Magica, you get the point. Now all my friends think that I am a psycho, anime-loving, violent, Applephilic Dictator who will reign over the world. Although really, if I had to take a job in the gov't it would be Secretary of Defense, and no higher than that. Because being supreme leader is fun and all, but that means that you have to interact with the masses, and if the masses include people like Ted Cruz, Bill O'Reilly, Miley Cyrus, and Donald Sterling, I want to get as far away from the masses as I can possibly can, because the minority is a loud minority.
A'ight, that ends my rambling rant on myself, if you got this far, congratulations! You now know a whole bunch of stuff you never cared about in the first place!
Post by: Luci on October 30, 2014, 08:45:37 PM
Before everything, I have to say that, doesn't matter how faster I can read in English, I'm always pretty awful writing in that language (actually, in all the ones I know, but that's another story). So, if you see something wrong, I'm sorry :-\
So, could you guys notice me if there's something really wrong in my posts? :) That's the first time I'm entering in a "international" forum, that's a good way to practice and meet new people~
Ok! Now, introduction! ... ... ... Wow, I'm really ashamed... I'm a 16 year-old Brazilian girl. I met the comic by starting reading aRTD before (which I found in some sponsor in other webcomic site). I just becomed so impressed with Minna's art style and good stories that, after thinking a little about enter or not here, I decided to definitively be part of the fandom~
Oh, and I'm a amateur artist (I drew my avatar and one of my wishes is to one day draw my own webcomic), internet lover and distracted high school student. I'm kinda good at languages, but I have neither money nor time to any course, so I'm trying to learn alone for a while. For now, I'm fluent in Portuguese, understand English well (but not totally, yet!) and I'm learning Spanish (I don't like that one so much, but, as it's very close to my native language, is more easy for me to learn).
Well, that's all! (Did I said that I have such a bad habit to write so much? It gets annoying with time :-X) See ya~
Post by: Noah O. on October 30, 2014, 09:47:27 PM

Post by: curiosity on November 04, 2014, 08:24:38 AM
After joining your cozy community here, I think it's right to introduce myself. I'm 20-year-old female in my fourth year of studying law, which turned out to be not really my cup of tea (well, I bet you've never seen a socially awkward lawyer, eh?) I'm Russian, born and living in Eastern Ukraine (yes, the very region where military operations are currently taking place, and I solemnly swear I will never ever bring it up again). Rather fluent in English... or so I'm desperately trying to seem, so please forgive my shameful mistakes and typos :P
I first stumbled upon Minna's comics translated in Russian (stunningly well translated, I must admit), and rather soon moved on to English version, because those are highly addictive ;D
Speaking of hobbies, I usually draw and write for my own fun, it helps me to deal with constant stress. One of my other passions is reading, and I love XX century classic literature with all my heart. And, ah, the sound of music! I'm hopelessly in love with old school British art-/prog-/blues-rock.
Wow, that's really the biggest piece of information about myself I've ever posted online. That would be enogh, I think.
I hope to merge in pretty well, for you forum dwellers seem really nice folks to me :)

My name's Claire, but you can call me anything you want to. I'm a college student living in New York City, who really really wants her own webcomic and wants even more to publish a graphic novel. Unfortunately, my aspirations are bigger than I am (and I'm not too much taller than Tuuri), and I'm still in my teen years (a year younger than Lalli and Emil, actually). I'm going for a BFA in cartooning, but since I'm still a first-year student, I'm not taking any cartooning classes just yet [insert sad face].
I found the comic three weeks ago (wow, it's been so long!) through a link on some other comic (which one, I'll never remember). This is the only one I currently follow (kinda pitiful for a cartoonist, huh) and I must say that I've never obsessed over someone else's comic as much as I have for this one (and I mean hey, I joined the forum :) ). Heck, I've even drawn fan art. I never do that. Just look at my avatar. Maybe I'll post my drawings of the other guys once I'm done with them.
You guys seem like a nice bunch. I'm so glad there's a fan following to this comic, so I won't be fangirling in vain.
(Oh, and I'm one of those Lalli fangirls, but like, on the inside.)

You can call me Flik. I'm 32 and live in one of the few populated areas of North Dakota for some reason I have yet to figure out. I speak English. American English. Forgive me for this.
Professionally I had worked in the TV industry for 8 years producing TV commercials. I had also worked several years in radio as a broadcast engineer maintaining transmitter sites. Currently I run a service department for a company that manufactures electronics for aerospace and agriculture (stuff gets sent in, I repair it).
Music and voice work, as well as photography and automotive things have been hobbies of mine for many years. My dream has always been to do professional voice acting and music production, but real life kicks my butt too much and I'm far too hard on myself. Luckily I'm starting to make some headway. Yaaaay?
That's me in a nut shell. Always more to talk about, but I'd be writing a novel.

Hi, I'm Clayres, a name I got from medling with sillables whilst composing a little song. I'm twenty years old and student, who lives with her mother and brother in a not so small village in Germany. I found aRTD through a friend and followed Minna to SSSS and that sleepy kitty link to this forum. I love to do music, I started to learn to play the piano, but that didn't quite work out...
Furthermore I like to read, draw and write, in fact I should be working on a story of mine, buut I'm working on introductions and stuff instead.
Right now I'm indeed more comfortable in English than in German, don't know, must be a brain-switch thing, and that switch is currently on English. Also I like English better than German, but I love to share tips for those who want to learn that language.
End of introduction.

I'm about Tuuri's age, and I reside in the USA. I sadly speak only English. I found SSSS through the language tree--like a lot of people did--and stayed because I recognized the information about Finnish vs. the other Scandinavian languages from my deep and long-held obsession with Scandinavian folk rock, and was curious to see what kind of comic needed an information page like that. To understate the case, I found a lot more and better than I expected. <3
I work in IT--webhosting specifically--but previous to this I studied opera. (Yeah, I know.) I'll probably be spending my time here making fan soundtracks, posting my more out-there meta to my tumblr (same name), and maybe even kicking off a SSSS fanfic section on AO3 (ditto). I look forward to boring you all with my rambling!
P.S. What think ye of the icon? I'm rather fond of it, but I have another of cthulhu-kitty that I like as well...

I love Finland! I am not sure why exactly, when I'm not Finnish in the least. Just the more I learn about the country the more it charms me, in spite of the reputation of Finns for being, hum, blunt and standoffish. I'm antisocial anyway, so that sounds fine to me... too bad I'm miserable in the dark and cold. Also, the country produces some really fantastic comic artists :-D which is why I'm here.
Hi, y'all! *waves*

I got shown SSSS by my former roommate, who said to me that SSSS was "post-apocalyptic Scandinavian magic and fairytales, lots of hair and fabric, pretty things and good humor" which is almost a complete list of my interests. (It's only missing viking metal and medieval reenactment.)
My favorite character so far is Lalli, he's so cute and catlike and grumpy. I'm so excited to see how the story continues and how the world gets explained to us.
Post by: Oh Deer on November 12, 2014, 08:10:13 AM
I really love to read, draw and write! Even though I'm not that good you might see some fan art your way. I found SSSS through ARTD, and I found that through a desperate search for entertainment when my former favorite comic Strays was in hiatus, it's my second fav. now, SSSS is now!
I really like this comic, for 1 reason I've always wanted to travel to Finland or a country like that, and this comic transports me!!! Also I love horses, cats, dragons, cats, deer and cats

I studied military history (you might see a lot of comments from me examining the military side of the comic), economics, psychology, and political science. I still read in all those areas but recently have gotten into Geek culture. TVTropes is an addiction as is forum commenting. I'm a fan of Terry Pratchett, Girl Genius, the Order of the Stick, and Babylon 5.
I'm a little out of pop culture (no TV) and a little out of work (I don't have a business focused degree so businesses assume my skills aren't applicable to what they want).
Currently writing a novel for National Novel Writing Month.

Let me skip this biographycal part, please. Some facts are written in my profile, and the rest isn't nesessary to know. =)
Once I came accidentally upon a translated web-comics, and it seemed worthy to keep reading. That was pretty logical to check, what does the translator read besides? And thus I found the SSSS's translation, and compared it to original, and it was good... Oh, so good! And all these drawings! And then I found myself pressing <F5> several times a day and even(!) commenting(!) some pages. And then Sunflower got me (I do like sunflowers btw), so here I am to post anything that could be considered as a fan-art or so.
P.S.
Don't consider me as a Lalli's fangirl, but well, if anyone insist, I wouldn't mind being a fancat (even though my nick is a name of insect).

I'm Danelle, a freelance artist and comics maker from South Africa! I've been commenting on Minna's pages for some time now so I figured I may as well join the forum, especially now that the comic is going on a break.
What else? I'm 29 (for another month or so :'( ) and have a degree in painting, but mostly I use it to do to draw butts, dachshunds and cats. And also to do illustrations for books.
I write and colour a webcomic called Cottonstar (http://www.cotton-star.com) with my partner Ben (https://www.behance.net/bengeldenhuys), who is also a 2D animator and graphic designer. I live in Cape Town near the foot of one of the new 7 natural wonders of the world, Table Mountain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_Mountain).
I'm on tumblr (http://dwuff.tumblr.com) and behance (https://www.behance.net/DanelleMalan), and I was on deviantart for about 11 years but that site has pretty much gone the drain so much that I deleted my things and left.
That's about it. Looking forward to meeting and chatting with you all. :)

Hello! :3
I'm Danelle, a freelance artist and comics maker from South Africa! I've been commenting on Minna's pages for some time now so I figured I may as well join the forum, especially now that the comic is going on a break.
What else? I'm 29 (for another month or so :'( ) and have a degree in painting, but mostly I use it to do to draw butts, dachshunds and cats. And also to do illustrations for books.
I write and colour a webcomic called Cottonstar (http://www.cotton-star.com) with my partner Ben (https://www.behance.net/bengeldenhuys), who is also a 2D animator and graphic designer. I live in Cape Town near the foot of one of the new 7 natural wonders of the world, Table Mountain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_Mountain).
I'm on tumblr (http://dwuff.tumblr.com) and behance (https://www.behance.net/DanelleMalan), and I was on deviantart for about 11 years but that site has pretty much gone the drain so much that I deleted my things and left.
That's about it. Looking forward to meeting and chatting with you all. :)
EEeeE! Hello! *flails around, then hides* (your tablet wisdom-tutorial was a life-saver by the way! And your art style and comic are just so coolllldfasdfghvbnmjkl...)
I'll be honest, I thought it was Moriarty, too, but he just looked a little funny.
There is a scene exactly like that in Sherlock, in our defense... Lit. exactly like that.
Awwwww c'monnnnnn Eich, are you ever going to get 'round to watching all those Dr Who episodes? U____U Otherwise you would knoooooowwww who that was X'P
This is the kind of random knowledge you can look forward to........

Aw :3 thank you! I can't take credit for that tutorial though, I reblogged it from someone else who was awesome enough to figure it out. I take it you're been getting those weird errors too?

(introductions are hard, aren't they?)
My name's Rémi, I'm 21, French but currently studying in Lisbon.
I started reading SSSS a few weeks ago, and shortly afterwards declared it my most favoritest webcomic ever, to the point that I actually joined this nice little fan community. Since I've got nothing better to do I might spend a lot of time lurking around here and use it as an excuse to get better at doing creative stuff :)

yay, an Irish person :).

I have a tablet thing that I barely use because it just kept doing the weird frustrating error thing so I'd quietly packed it away on a bookshelf... ;___; but now I now it lives!! :3

P__, how did you come up with a name out of a 19th-century Russian novel? (Where all the provincial towns and streets therein have only initials for names.) Is "P" short for "Portugal"?

no Russia for me :P
And not Portugal either, though it's a cool idea ;)
Here's the (short yet tortuous) story: it comes from my mother's maiden name (which I'm not telling you), that I also kinda intended to use as a screen name, then shortened to P__ for use in online games where I'm too lazy to type it in full -- not that it would be particularly long -- and from there in my comments on the SSSS main site before I created an account. And then transferred as such to the forum.
Short story shorter: doesn't directly relate to anything :P

Meanwhile, uh, Your Highness, why the "King of Apples and Mohawk Lord" titles? Would you be kind enough to enlighten us?
Yeaaah, I'm not surprised you're confused. :,D
King of Apples is just a title that has stuck with me for a while now. As far as I can remember, I was chatting with my Internet pals at perhaps around 5 am or something like that and the whole chat was just madness and sheer stupidity. (Like always.) Anyways, I got hungry and because apples are delicious, I just grabbed one of them. In my sleep deprived state, I proclaimed myself as the King of Apples while munching on the fabulous fruit. I somehow remembered this the next day after I had managed to detach myself from my computer to get few hours of sleep. I don't even remember just exactly how everyone came to associate apples with me but it happened quite fast. Perhaps I just repeated my position as Apple royalty enough times.
As for Mohawk Lord, it's quite new. I guess I just keep on babbling on and on how much I love them mohawks and one of my new buddies randomly called me "Mohawk Lord". I happen to like the sound of it.

I'm Rae, approaching 1.0 Torbjorn, from the USA, currently living in Pennsylvania. I'm a grad student in the environmental sciences, and while the chapter break is going to be rough, I will be putting in serious work on my dissertation. Any of you whippersnappers interested in environmental science, grad school (in the US) - I'd be happy to chat.
I came across SSSS when it was recommended by someone on www.dailykos.com (http://www.dailykos.com) and ran into the language tree shortly after that. I thought it was amazing and gorgeous, but honestly, it was the charming cats in and around the language tree that made me cock my head and say to myself "I must know more about this..." Read through SSSS a couple of times, then aRTD, and now, yeah, refreshing several times a day/hour/minute to get my weekday fix. I just need to ban myself from the internet some days, sigh.
I do a number of things for fun - making jewelry, attempting quilt-making, carving my own stamps, writing smatterings of fiction. I enjoy cooking & baking and tend to waste a lot of time lurking on the internet. My current crazy idea is making a quilt pattern out of the Nordic council design...

I'm interested in various subjects such as games, engineering, macroeconomics, psychology and generally making sense out of things and many many more thing.

Awesome! I'm surrounded by game devs, the industry in SA is really booming. I think 50% of my friends are probably indie devs/aspiring indie devs, now that I think about it... I see your game was greenlit, well done! It looks really ominous, I just watched your trailers. It looks really good for alpha gameplay. I'll be following this one. :)

Anyway, about me: I found the comic two weeks ago, through Mental Floss I think (the language tree graphic), and then spent a few days going through the comic from the beginning. Of course I catch up right at the start of a chapter break, which is going to be awesome for the wirthdrawal symptoms ::)
I'm Dutch, 30 years old, and work as a copy editor and project coordinator for a small-ish publisher of geoscience books. I studied English at uni (and have a Master's in Translation though I never really used it). My hobbies include reading, writing, sewing, music, and webcomics. ;)

Hello everyone! I'm a Norwegienne (that's not actually a word is it) who stumbled onto SSSS not long ago, through the language differences picture that went viral. I liked it so much I read it all and then read aRTD in less than one day. Now I'm doing a second binge reading to get through this (for me) first break. Because sleep is for pussies (cats sleep a lot) and people with adult lives to maintain.
Speaking of adult, I'm now 26 years of age and may actually be too old for this forum thing. I have not been active in a forum since Warren Ellis left the FreakAngels forum in 2011ish, so this is honestly a bit scary. I make my very first post here in the introductions thread because that made the most sense to me.
Welcome! There's no such thing as "too old" for this forum -- some of us are considerably older than 26! And I at least had never participated in a forum at all till now. This is a very friendly place.

First of all, I apologize to all the English native-speakers. I'm actually butchering your beautiful mother tongue, and I'm sorry.
I've got a weird and "strange-hearing" name. So you can call me "Eve" - it sounds good to me, yeah, like the Christmas Eve ; Who the hell doesn't like the Christmas Eve ?!
Well, well.
I'm a little four-eyed student. I'm currently studying History. I'm specializing in Antiquity, Antique Art, and Classic Egyptian (the hieroglyphs).
Let's face it ; I'll never find a job. Youh! ;D
But History and Art History are my life (I have stopped my Law studies to fulfill my dreams)!
Of course I love Antiquity, but I have a keen interest in the Middle Ages ... And I ADORE the Vikings. I wish I could met them in another life (but not as a slave or even as a woman, please). Well, I also love the Maya people and the first Mesopotamians ... Maybe I have some strange fascination for bloodthirsty ancient civilizations ... Creepy.
I have discovered SSSS several months ago, and I TOTALLY fell in love. I love the drawing, the story, and the drawing, and the story ... And BRAIDY! To me, tall men with long hair are so manly, especially when they have a braid or a ponytail ; they look like brave and barbaric vikings
I enjoy to draw (but I have never learnt how to draw, so I'm not a good one), I like to write (I write A LOT - One day I wanna write historical fictions), and I like to read (this is what I do the most - except breathing, of course).
I like old horror movies from the twenties, cheesecakes with home-made compote, traditional scandinavian music and cheminey fires. ("These are a few of my favorite things, la la laaa")
And a LOT of other things, too. I like every of you, of course. <3
* My pseudo means "Pale Light" in Finnish. It's the title of a beautiful song. I think in the context of the song, "Kalpea Valo" refers to the light of a morning winter.

Am I right in guessing from your e-mail domain that you're from Belgium? If so, you're our first forum member from that country, though definitely not the first Francophone. (We have several native speakers here, plus others who speak French better than I do.) You're also far from the only enthusiast of art or ancient history.
So pull up a chair, and join us! (If this were a *real* clubhouse, I'd have coffee and cake on hand, just like the Swedish custom of fika. But for now, virtual refreshments will have to do.)
Ask OrigamiOwl sometime to show you photos of her college's historic, oak-beamed student lounge. That's what I picture our SSSS forum clubhouse looking like. (Plus some pickled specimens of Rash-monsters in jars, a la Siv's research institute, for decor, and weapons hanging on the walls.)
See you 'round the Forum...

Yeah I'm from that small country, somewhere between the France and the Holland! :D I'm currently living in Brussels, but I may leave my country to study abroad.
I'm glad to see we share common interests! ^^

I'm a socially awkward English teacher in Japan, and I don't remember how old I am without doing math because I always lie to my students when they ask ("I'm 200" or "I'm 5" are frequent answers I give to "How old are you?"). Also, I lived in South Korea for three years prior to moving to Japan, and they count ages differently there, so that got me a bit confused. Heh. Anyway, I'm pretty sure I'm somewhere between the ages of 25 and 30. I alternate between being ENFP and INFP on the Meyers-Briggs, and most of the time I can't decide whether I need to surround myself with people or become a hermit. I really felt a strong connection to Hannu in aRTD--perhaps my inner self is rather like him (including the jerkiness, sorry).
Whenever I learn a new language I promptly forget most of all previous languages I've learned, so I've forgotten Spanish, German, and Korean. When I remembered Spanish I could also understand Italian and written French. I'm currently learning Japanese. I know random words and sentences in several real and constructed languages, and I can read several real and constructed writing systems. So far learning kanji is the most interesting part of learning Japanese. I hate Esperanto and don't much care for French, but I'm fascinated by most other languages (even though my mind is like a sieve made of wet noodles--most information goes straight through and only random stuff sticks).
My dream is to travel the world by teaching English in various countries for a few years at a time. Since I have already achieved this dream I'm not sure what to do with the rest of my life. ;)
I have a black belt in judo that I probably didn't really earn completely. I can't cook. I can bake but I have no oven. I can play the violin, viola, and piano. I can't run more than two blocks without hyperventilating but I can pin a man twice my weight to the floor for 30 seconds and choke him out, so I guess I don't really need to run, do I? I've been crocheting for 20ish years but only got around to making my first sweater this year.
I read manga and watch anime, but only for the past 5 years. I also read lots of sci-fi and fantasy, and watch it sometimes, too. I listen to classical music and opera sometimes. I don't like most music that I've heard on the radio in the past 15ish years. I have strong opinions and avoid talking about the issues I'm opinionated about because once I start talking it's hard to shut me up before I offend everyone in a 50-km radius. I understand and appreciate the metric system but find it difficult to use because I grew up with whatever you call the system they use in the USA (I'm from somewhere in that country originally, unless I really am an extraterrestrial). Nobody understands my sense of humor, and if somebody thinks I said something funny, I pretend I intended the joke.
I found SSSS on November 26th via a Facebook post reposted from another fb post reposted from a Mental Floss article about the language tree page. By November 30th I had read all of SSSS and aRTD and started a (much slower) reread of aRTD. I joined this forum because everyone I know in real life is sick of hearing me talk about this webcomic (the first webcomic I ever read!) and I need to talk to somebody about it or I'll explode.
I'm longwinded and disorganized. I apologize for the inconvenience.

"I'm 200" or "I'm 5" are frequent answers I give to "How old are you?".Just remember that there are countries where the class would be likely to shoot back something along the lines of "and you've been dead for how long?" or "yeah, we guessed that much", respectively. 8)
Whenever I learn a new language I promptly forget most of all previous languages I've learned, so I've forgotten Spanish, German, and Korean.... also das klingt jetzt aber schon sehr nachlässig ... :P

I understand and appreciate the metric system but find it difficult to use because I grew up with whatever you call the system they use in the USAMost just call it "the Imperial system", though that's technically (pun not intended) incorrect (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_customary_units).

SSSS is my second webcomic, I've been reading it since October, and it's inspired me to learn Swedish, which I am finding a whole lot easier than French, at least for now.

I hail from the U.S.'s west coast, originally from California I'm now starting to roam and wander while I chase work with the U.S. Forest Service. I'm 24 (25 in a couple months). My hobbies are the following: Camping hunting, gaming, sleeping, reading, writing and learning waaaaay too much for my own good regarding weapons and weapons systems (as some of you may have noticed from my posts elsewhere on the forum). At some point I also picked up on Trig a bit too well and like doing calculations on how to launch things into orbit. Rocks.. socks.. potatos, etc etc.
Languages that I understand: U.S. English, The Queen's English, some field Spanish.
Languages I can write: U.S. English
Languages I currently aspire to learn: Russian, Ukrainian, one of the Scandinavian languages, Australian English.
My mantra is live life, start chaos, however do not mistake me for an anarchist.
At some point I do intend to draw up something based off a dream I had last night about the SSSS world.

Make sense of the chaos, then start more.
The full manta is as follows:
"It is important to do what you don't know how to do. It is important to see your skills as keeping you from leaning what is deepest and most mysterious. If you know how to focus, unfocused. If your tendency is to make sense out of chaos, start chaos."
Which TL:DR's into "Live life, start chaos".

I was introduced to webcomics by a friend about two years ago, and found ARTD soon after by clicking on a link (the one with Hannu crossing over a tree bridge and Ville in bear form - it was just so pretty!). This was sometime during the bear arc and I've been following Minna's comics ever since :) (And sometimes posting comments on the actual comic so I may be vaguely familiar to some of you…..)
I hail from the UK and am a science student at uni which is a pretty fun thing to be! On top of this fun stuff I do martial arts, play music, hike, bake, paint pictures and cosplay (although not very well at the moment). I also maaaay have cosplayed Braidy to a party earlier this year and if I have the guts may post a picture on the art museum. Although I don't live with any cats I have a slight reputation as a mad-cat-lady because I get along so well with all the ones in town. Hopefully this will prove useful in the inevitable post-rash future :P
As for languages, I'm fluent in Welsh and English, am okayish with spoken Japanese and know tourist level French, Spanish and Italian
That seems like a full introduction right :-\

I dream to just quietly sneak past the introduction topic, but I've already learned it's impossible in most communities, so here I am, to have a good start.
I first came across A Redtail's Dream in November 2011, and than casually forgot about its existance somewhere between chapters three and four. I re-discovered the comic last year, and naturally came here when SSSS started. I made my first comment yesterday (also, I created a Disqus account on that occasion), and was encouraged to come to the forum. I already like it in here, especially the Language Board. :)
And for a proper introduction, I'm a twenty-two-year-old girl from Poland, currently having a good life full of delicious food, books, music, hiking and cats, while feigning studying musicology. I used to play pipe organ in high school.
I love fantasy, poetry, folklore and foreign languages. I believe it makes this forum a perfect place for me.
I'm also a happy fiancée of a quite Lalli-like man, the fact that caused a tiny bit of enthusiasm as I mentioned it in the comment to the comic page.
I wish every one of you a nice part-of-day-that's-left-in-your-time-zone, and go on exploring the forum. :)

Welcome! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajRR2H2D480)
Never be anxious, the folks here are nice, and all-over a good company. There are also many people with interest in music, as I'm sure you'll soon learn. ;)

You'll fit right in, I know it. :) Do you feel like telling us how you chose your forum nickname? Hopefully not from Deirdre of the Sorrows (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deirdre)in Irish legend.
I really like your forum icon. Thanks for the artist link -- I had no idea he is contemporary! I would have thought it was someone of the Art Nouveau era like Aubrey Beardsley or Arthur Rackham. (Well, it's too pretty to be by him...)
And I'm thrilled to welcome another classical music geek to the Forum. I've played music since I was 12 (flute, then recorder, then handbells), but my knowledge of solfège is sorely lacking. So my Big Plan to arrange Arvo Pärt's Spiegel im Spiegel for handbells will have to wait...

Found SSSS when read RTD which i found on some comic translation site.
I am 14 years old Russian boy living (and born) in Altai Krai (south of Siberia), Russia. Interested in programming (a little) and computers. I like magic and sci-fi stories, possible some post-apocalypse. Its my first introduction post ever, so i hope its good.

Welcome, Danil! We're a friendly bunch here. And a fair number of us either speak or are trying to learn Slavic languages, so you'll find a lot of interest in Russian. (Unfortunately, our forum software doesn't yet support the Cyrillic alphabet.)
We all look forward to hearing from you on the Forum.

Hello! I'm Tara.
I've actually been lurking on this forum for a few weeks, but I didn't get around to making an account until now..
I'm 14, I live in Ireland, I like to draw, and I am not good at introductions :P
SSSS is my second webcomic, I've been reading it since October, and it's inspired me to learn Swedish, which I am finding a whole lot easier than French, at least for now.
um. I don't really know what else to say.. So, uh, hi!
Hello fellow Irish person, and welcome! I'm not good at introductions either, heh heh. I myself have also begun to learn Swedish, with the aim of one day moving there. Are you enjoying learning it so far?

Hi! I am older than Torbjörn, but younger than Taru. I am a stay-at-home mom for my small son, who has a lot of developmental issues. I graduated with a degree in Studio Art many years ago and worked as a web designer for 10 years. In between those two, I lived in Japan on the JET program to help teach English. Somehow I stumbled on A Redtail's Dream about two years ago and remembered seeing the page for SSSS before it started, but didn't come back to it again until I saw the language tree and Nordic cats floating around on the internet. (Then I spent about two days catching up.) All of this inspires me to get back to drawing again, which is awesome.
I'm fluent in American English and have everyday knowledge of Japanese, but I'm nowhere near fluent. I think Finnish would be kind of cool to learn.

Of course a self-introduction goes into self-reflection and all that, but I digress and pick random facts.
I'm a Finnish/German nerd currently living in Florida. I do network engineering for a living, though my academic credentials are in physics and political science.
My primary passions are photography, role playing (the pen-and-paper kind) and reading, but beyond that I keep dashing from interest to interest (amateur radio, electronics, Aikido, diving etc.)
As to languages, I did study Japanese for quite a while, but have fairly little to show for it, aside from an appreciation for the language. The others I learned in school or home, and am trying to vaguely keep up with; I understand German and Swedish fairly well, but I can't write either anymore.
The icon/avatar is a character from an old D&D game drawn by my GM, but it also fits my nickname so seemed appropriate for here :-)

I've only been learning for two months, after all. How long have you been doing it for?
Since Sunflower asked so nicely, I'll introduce myself as well.

I'm an Italian 21 - years - old girl, currently studying modern cultures and languages at the university of Padua and hoping to graduate on time. I was born and grew up in Northern Italy, and I'd like to travel a lot more than I was allowed so far. I have a deep love for books, role - playing and writing, if and when uni doesn't try to squish me between terms. I'm mostly proficient in English, I'm re - learning Spanish and I'm going to take up Portuguese in a couple of years. I've had some experience with German and French, but unfortunately I've lost most of them both in middle school. Also, I've studied Japanese for a couple of years, and I'm determined to get back to it. I'm fascinated by cultures and anthropology, as well as dystopic fiction, sci - fi and fantasy. You could say that SSSS was, for me, love at first sight. And it's spiralled into an addiction more quickly than I thought!

*peeks in* Heeeello there - I may have fallen head over heels for SSSS in less than three days, although I've discovered the related board only this evening. I found very intriguing the discussions going on between readers and I really didn't expect such a variety of languages; being the huge nerd about language learning that I am, I couldn't resist the temptation.

Hi there, welcome to the community! You are definitely not alone in your addiction; it took me only a couple days as well :))

About me: I'm in England, on my first year of university in Cornwall studying Evolutionary Biology, which I'm really enjoying. As well as biology, obviously, I'm really interested in mythology and fiction of all kinds. Languages seems to be the passion of the forums, and I'm really interested in them, but I really haven't had any luck learning languages in the past. I have very basic French, Latin, and Greek from school, and I know the Korean alphabet, but that's it. I'm not saying that there aren't many extremely talented multi-linguists in England, but I strongly believe that the language learning system, and the language learning culture over here is very weak. That, and I'm quite lazy.
Anyway, even though I've had very brief conversations with some of you in the comments over the months, I wouldn't expect any of you to remember that, so I look forward to getting to know you all for real.

I've been reading SSSS and the comments since mid-June ish, but I tend just to lurk. The comments on this last page drew me out, though I've been meaning to drop in and say hi for a while now, as you guys are by far the nicest bunch I've encountered. Hopefully, I won't alter that.
So, about me:
I'm a year younger than Torbjorn, a native of Southern California now living on the Central Coast, an autodidact and a monoglot, dang it. I also have sesquipedalian tendencies due to a desire to ensure I communicate the precise message that I intended.
I was in the USAF for 6 years, during which time I was shuttled across the globe and back at their pleasure, so I've been a few places, but not a lot. Ironically, though, I've never been to Canada or to Mexico, our nearest neighbors, as circumstances have always derailed any plans I've made to visit there.
I tend to watch mostly pre-1970 movies, and sometimes make more or less oblique reference to those that I've seen.
That's about it.

And is your icon a design for knitting, rosemaling, or the like? We've already had some SSSS star-patterned oven cloths and T-shirts. A few fans are even considering sweaters. Minna welcome fanart, and probably fan-crafts and Maker Faire projects too!

Hello, LooNEY_DAC! Another fan of foot-and-a-half-long words is always welcome here.
What does your forum nickname stand for?
Well, a couple of decades ago, my dad was setting up AOL accounts for us all, and it kinda went like this:
Dad: (firstname)_(firstsyllableoflastname)
Older sister: (firstname)_(firstsyllableoflastname)
Younger sister: (firstname)_(firstsyllableoflastname)
Me: LooNEY_DAC
Do you remember the Looney Tunes shorts opening/closing from the 60s/70s where the O's became eyes and bounced downward a few times? That's kinda my inspiration. And DAC are my initials.
Oddly enough, this username is always open on boards for me to register with. I tried (firstname)_(lastname) on another board a while ago, but after it told me I'd need to add #s to the end, I went back to this, and it was free.
And is your icon a design for knitting, rosemaling, or the like? We've already had some SSSS star-patterned oven cloths and T-shirts. A few fans are even considering sweaters. Minna welcome fanart, and probably fan-crafts and Maker Faire projects too!
Actually, it's a detail from a drawing I made in a style that I created because I can't draw.
Seriously, anything I draw freehand looks worse than the average four-year-old's stuff. So I started drawing geometric designs on graph paper. Ironically, I started putting a pattern that looks like the aRTD logo in my designs before I ever saw Minna's work.
I don't know how to knit, or make knitting patterns. My mom used to both knit and crochet, but her arthritis stopped her. I may have seen patterns in her magazines and unconsciously copied them.
Post by: DzigaWatt on January 14, 2015, 01:53:26 PM
Well, here goes something.
Hello everyone, I am DzigaWatt, a silly young adult from Serbia, the same age as Fenris apparently, I dropped out of college after a run-in with mechanics, so I made a complete turnaround and am now striving to be a game designer, hence the interest in an art diploma. If anyone wants to know, I studied bio-mechanics for one year, I wanted one day to develop a new gen game console. Also, before that I went to a language high-school. I like to be extreme. I read books a lot, larp, write stories and draw them, love chocolate and long walks on the beach. I'm a tinker by nature and build stuff from time to time, well, mostly when I need something, so I build it instead of buying it. I came across Minna's artwork actually while I was searching for drawing pads, and one thing lead to another, I got hooked on her unique style and she's now my main inspiration to move to Scandinavia. As the meme goes, soon...
Oh, and I enjoy the forum a lot, but rarely participate because, well, I kind of don't know how to talk to people. But you guys are great and stay lively like that :D
Sorry for the late and long introduction ;D

Ooooo, first post ever on a Forum!!! I'm Helenatroy, sister to LooNEY_DAC. In November last year, he sat me down in front of my computer and showed me SSSS. He explained quite a bit, and I was somewhat confused but hooked.
I have lurked in the comments but never posted until last night (whyyyyy?) and was invited to the forum.... I'm a massage therapist, a vision therapist, a caregiver, a singer, a ringer (of handbells), an amazingly prolific procrastinator....crafty...
Anyway, Hello All!
Welcome, Helenatroy! I think you and Looney are the first sibling pair we've signed up. But you're far from the only newcomer to fandoms and forums. I used to think all that Interwebs stuff was just for mouth-breathers still living in their mommas' basements to have nasty flame wars on. Then I discovered SSSS! O, I once was blind and now I see... ;)
I'm pleased to find another handbell ringer. I've been in my church's handbell choir for more than 7 years. Unfortunately, we're very understaffed, most of our members aren't trained musicians, and we only rehearse 90 minutes a week, so we're not very advanced. Still, I cherish hopes of arranging music for handbells... once I brush up on my solfège skills... so you might have some useful tips for me!
And if you sing, you might be interested in joining the group making an SSSS musical. (http://ssssforum.pcriot.com/index.php?topic=58.0) Or, share some of your favorite music, (http://ssssforum.pcriot.com/index.php?topic=9.0) whether SSSS-related or not. Unsurprisingly, a lot of creative people gravitate here.

Thanks for formally introducing yourself. We're familiar with all your delightful comments on the Disqus pages and here.
Re: Japanese, we have at least one member *in* Japan (teaching English, IIRC) and another (starfallz) who used to teach English in Japan, so they should have at least some Japanese knowledge to share. And with so many language mavens here, there are probably other Japanese speakers as well.

Hello there fellow minions! Second post on the forum (First being asking about the signature flags) I'm AwsomelyNotAwsome, same on Disqus. Not that I post anything, just lurking around. I found SSSS when I was looking for a new web comic and this was the one that most interesting on TWC. Read all the way to the Chapter 5 break in one day, and to my luck the break ended the next day. Have been religiously reading this since then. I'm 1 Tuomi old, and I have social anxiety and OCPD. It's a miracle that I'm even posting here, but after a long time and the fact that here is such a amazing community I decided to join. I was born in Slovakia, lived for 7~8 years in California, SanFran, then moved back to Slovakia where I live currently. In my free time I play airsoft, read, draw (jk, I can't draw :P) and play videogames on PC. 8th year of school, would like to become a architect and in an ideal situation I'd like to learn Swedish and move to Sweden. So yeah, that's about it. i'm just gonna leave now. bye *slowly exits and closes the door quietly*Welcome! We're all nice here, I promise

After being kindly greeted by Sunflower here i decided to do his suggestion of introducing myself to the forums.
Well i'm a finnish first year highschool student who has quite a big intrest in history of Finland and the mythology of the nordics as a whole. With my spare time that i have plenty i have taken intresting in reading quite a few online forums and have taken part in some theorycrafting around the web mostly around Game of Thrones and other fantasy books like that. Still if people know me it's most likely from any game forums that i quite often inhabit and i have seen some familiar faces from years back back.
Thing that got me hooked to this said comic was most likely the fact it quite literally hit the spot. Magic, Nordic mythology, Finns, a post apolyptic world. With all the good stuff being there it wasn't a long process for me to get quite immersed. I started lurking this thing way back when the first few pages of the finns were released and have come back more or less randomly ( this time what reminded me was a wikipedia article about kalevala where there was a link to Minnas other comic and after reading that i realized being back here. ) but always enjoying my time spent here.
Now that my intrigue for these kind of this has grown quite a bit i beliave my stay will be far longer than before and think i will come back here far more often than before. Anyways good to see you all!

Welcome!
I'm curious about your forum icon, so full of symbols. Would you care to explain any of those for us? And I believe you said on the main comic page that you have a military background. That would certainly come in handy discussing many of our topics, plus be a point in common with quite a few other members.
Post by: PaperArtillery on January 23, 2015, 03:54:12 AM
Welcome!My avatar was intended to be somewhat deliberately "Illuminati"-esque, so while almost everything thereupon has some meaning, it's not terribly "deep". The heraldic raven is purely because it's my "animal", spiritually or otherwise; the cross is religion-related; the key regards unlocking secrets; the rifle is the silhouette of the Russian Mosin-Nagant 1891/30 (of which I own two, one Soviet, one Finnish); the two chevrons are my E-4 pay grade from my military days (as is the "teardrop" on the right, being half of the 29th Infantry Division insignia). The Hebrew and alchemical symbols are things a little more personal to me, though all representing numbers, and "Nevermore" I chose because I'm such a fan of Poe.

As for the second bit, I serviced and operated telecom equipment, so I completely lack combat experience outright, but have some insights into other aspects of tactics and organisation.

1942. I used to know the number of marks on it, but it's slipped my mind and I'm not home this weekend. I'll check again. I do know that it was supposedly issued in mid 1943 (it sure looks it, the laquer and wood is torn to hell and there's some wear on the rifling).

- jayen_aitch isn't my real name, but it is my initials (after a fashion).
- it is a name I have used on various internet places since I was roughly half the age I am today.
- in consequence sometimes I cringe at it a little, but it will do.
- I live in Stockholm, with a cat and a Finn.
- I grew up in Yorkshire.
- I can play the bass guitar, and sometimes do, but unfortunately I am not in a band at the moment.
- I do however love music, and literature, however I cannot draw to save my life, which is a shame.
- When I am exercising then I mostly like to ski, walk or play capoeira (which I started about a year ago and am not very good at yet).

Okay, looks different to our system in some ways, for example yellow is a very low grade with us.

I am sure there is still more that is similar than different.

I'm half Spanish, half Belgian so I speak Spanish and Dutch fluently. I really want to learn Swedish, it just sounds so nice and I really want to visit Sweden(and some friends there), too.
I'm going through my last few months of a videogames master's degree, very intense but really worth it. I'm an 'ex' art student, where I learned almost nothing useful at all..I heard this from a lot of art students, at least here in Spain.

Does it's markings tell any tales?I count 5 (possibly 6, there's another slight indentation) armory marks on the 1942 Tula. The 1943 Finn appears to have no armory markings besides "SA" stamped twice (likely because the first on the top of the receiver appears to have seen some wear).

Finn "Lilja" is top, Soviet "Katiya" is bottom. I'll get some more pictures in natural light when I can; weather here's been garbage, and it's also just before midnight local time.

I'm fluent in English and I can kind of read French (And I want to learn more languages, but too many choices!), I also like to draw and write and I hope to start a webcomic at some point...hopefully. I actually posted in the fanart thread first.
Oops ::)
Other random tidbits are that I like hot chocolate and tea, and not coffee, and kitties are adorable and because of this comic I am more likely to let my kitty be if he sneaks into my room.

Yeah so my name is very unsurprisingly Sigrid (Marie is my middle name). I'm 17 and live in Norway, and I spend most of my time drawing, doing other artsy stuff or reading. My one and only spotify playlist is more than 12 hours long, but some of my favourite artists are Marina and the Diamonds, Lana Del Rey, Gorillaz, Ed Sheeran, The Neighbourhood and Kaizers Orchestra (my taste in music is almost as inconsistent as my art style).
I'm pretty much fluent in English, have been learning Spanish at school for five years, and now I'm trying to learn Japanese. I'm a feminist, I care a lot about everything regarding sexuality, gender and such (I'm pansexual myself), and I tend to get very angry at pop songs that half the world listens to without realizing how stupid the lyrics are arghhh. Aside from that, though, I'm generally a very cheerful girl. The kind who smiles at everyone she makes eye contact with on the street, skips instead of walking and always runs up the stairs because that's way faster, duh.
I want to write and illustrate a children's book sometime, but I have some concentration issues that need to be addressed first. And I have 1,5 years left in school, so it's not like I'm in a hurry ;3

Hello. I'm Ookami. I'm a generally quiet person who loves reading webcomics, with titles such as Twokinds and Off White in my favorites. I found the comic a few days ago through the site Flight Rising. I'm all caught up and waiting for updates with baited breath.
It's nice meeting you all!
Post by: Terallodaktus on January 31, 2015, 04:04:37 PM
Also I'm desperately procrastinating right now, so that I don't study for my upcoming exams. Not enough pressure yet, I give it another 5 days 'til I get serious.
My nationality is german, I spent a year in NZ and came back a year ago to start uni, although I can't wait to get back out there. Preferably to a place without trolls, thanks very much.
I love traveling and discovering new things and places all over the world. My feet are itching to get out again, next trips already planned are to South England, Ireland and Sweden. Only 7 weeks left, yay!
I'm almost 0.3 Trond or 1.5 Tuomi and a law student. Which, to me, is way more awesome subject than most people seem to think it is.
I have an interest in almost anything and therefore am a jack of all trades. Which means I try a lot of things, but don't stick with them as soon as they get boring. Tenacity is a foreign word for me. I'm still searching and I'll probably never stop looking for things, other than books, that can keep me for a lifetime.
As you may have guessed, I adore reading, fancy myself a bit of an artist, enjoy cooking and baking. One of my favourite things to do is get dressed up as a zombie and spend a night in an old WWII bunker, hunting mortals. Or do it outside, but that's usually reserved for halloween, scaring people. Since I give them Zombie-cupcakes afterwards, it doesn't really count.
I'm approaching my first anniversary of discovering Minna's work, as well as my second lucky number in age.
Which is an awesome pun in german. Schnapszahl. Its literal translation is 'liquor number'! I like it anyway.
Not much more to know about me, but if you've got questions, ask them anyways. I'll probably answer ;)
Oh yeah, and I'm a girl.

Alas, if only that were the case! *swoon*
Nah, it's Larp cons. Zombie ones are usually 4 to 5 times a year, with a 4 day one in the summer.
And then there are the end time ones, but that's a different type altogether. Zombie can be historical, apocalyptic, a mashup OR, my favourite, steampunk.

You can call me Rainy. (Weather is important.) Actually it's snowing where I am right now. I'm from Finland and about Sigrun's age.
I first started reading SSSS a few months ago, when I saw the original language tree somewhere else on the Internet. I remember wondering about the year 0, and then clicking through to the comic to find out more. And I was amazed by the quality of the comic! Not only the art, but the plot and the way the characters interact are so well thought out. Also I've always been interested in mythology, languages and the horror genre (not zombies though, eugh). Obviously I can relate to a lot of the Nordic cultural aspects, too. I came to the forum to see what speculations and thoughts other readers had about the world of SSSS.
What else? Besides my native Finnish I'm fluent in English, fluent-ish Swedish and have studied some Russian and Latin. I'm not very tech-savvy, so I hope I'm not going to make too much of a mess of things on this nice forum.

I'm a comparatively long-time reader (I started aRTD when chapter 7 came up) and am absolutely loving everything about Minna's work. I wish I had half that artistic ability, honestly.

I'm a comparatively long-time reader (I started aRTD when chapter 7 came up) and am absolutely loving everything about Minna's work. I wish I had half that artistic ability, honestly.
Aaaand... yeah. That's pretty much it. Oh yes, you're all wonderful, and thanks for the cookies in advance :P

Welcome, welcome! I would offer you cookies, but you've gotten ahead of me on that. :D There are a lot of INFPs around these parts, you'll fit right in. Also, I second what FinnishViking said about the art thread.

Hello, and welcome to the forums! It's good to know that I'm not the only one overwhelmed by all the interesting professions you can choose between. Although if you're a student, you must have at least chosen a direction, right? And hey, I'm an INFP too! And I draw! Yay, things in common! By the way, you should totally check out the art thread (oh, wait, it would seem that the others already beat me to that suggestion)
Post by: Adrai Thell on February 01, 2015, 07:18:16 PM
Yeah, I'm studying, declared as a Graphic Design major, but I'm currently in a bit of flux - the university I'm going to is fine with that, though, since I'm going to be leaving fairly soon.
Hah, fine fine, I'll post on the art forum. Just... don't expect much, 'kay?
Also yay for things in common! :D

I've been reading the comics since this fall, but today's update plus school work forced me out of my lurking.
I'm Tuuri's age, and live in one of the coldest regions of the US. I'm studying getting my bachelors in History, along with minors in Sociology and Chinese. I'm obsessed with traveling, and attempting new languages. I love video games and sports too. INFP. Not sure what else to say.
Excited to get to know you all! \o/
Although I'll probably revert back to lurking depending on how much school work tries to kill me.

Sorry it took me so long to introduce myself! I've kind of been busy hanign out in the SSSS section.
I am from Wisconsin in the United States, I am of German, Irish, and Norwegian descent.
I can speak English and have a smattering of German that I have mostly forgotten.
I work in a public library.
I discovered SSSS through an article on io9 early in December. I binge-read the comic in one day and have been hooked ever since.
If you have any other questions, I will take them at this time.

Hello everyone! I'm Quabus. I am a 16 year old girl who lives in the northwest United States. I'm really excited that I've finally joined the forum and get to meet all you great people. (Okay, this is sounding really stiff so far. hmm... for some added excitement, I'll just add a small Tuuri-expression of my feelings right now: eeeeeee!)
Anyway, I found this comic really randomly. I was jumping around on twitter several months ago, visiting various comic-writers accounts, and I found Minna's page. I was like, wow, that's a cool drawing style, clicked on the link, and I was hooked! Now I've read SSSS twice plus some various bits, and aRTD once plus some various bits.
I finally joined the comments a couple weeks ago under the username Quabus and for the sake of consistency I had to use that name again here. So I'll give a bit of background here, I guess. My real name is Clare, and when I was really little my parents started calling me Clarebo, and then some of my friends modified that into Quaybo, and now my younger sister often calls me Quabus. So now you know - in case you were wondering, or just like knowing the etymology of random non-words.
I have lots of opinions about the comic by now, so you'll hopefully see me start popping up all over the forum.
See you around!

I started reading SSSS about 18 months or so ago, I don't really remember. I think I found it through an ad banner. As people seem to be listing languages, I speak English and I did study Japanese when I was at university. Of course since then I have had almost no practice with it and have forgotten most things so I am basically monolingual. I look forward to getting to know the community that has grown up around this comic, I very rarely read the comments and I never comment myself so this will be the first time talking with you guys.
Now I believe I saw someone mention an RPG thread being around here somewhere....

I guess some of you might recognize me from the comment section, but I don't think I've ever introduced myself.
I'm a Swedish girl who started reading SSSS back in November. I found the comic when Minna's language tree was linked on fb and binge read both it and aRTD in one evening/night. I have hardly read any webcomics before and it's a really nice contrast to reading manga! I'm 24 years old and study for a MSE in economics and computer science. I'm currently studying one year abroad in Japan and have studied Japanese for about 4 and a half years. I'm an indoorsy person who like reading, drawing and writing. I have a deviantArt account: http://aquaaurion.deviantart.com/ if anyone is interested =)
I don't know what more to say so just ask me if there's anything xD

I'm Laowai. My Chinese speaking friends might recognize that as the Chinese word for "foreigner." I am a 24-year-old lady and have studied Chinese for over half my life now. I am also learning Portuguese and German just for funsies. (Sometimes French, but only when I'm feeling particularly masochistic)
I'm originally from Minnesota, but, shamefully, I am one of the few Minnesotans who has absolutely no claim to any Scandinavian heritage. I've also lived in China and Turkey, pacific northwest, and the smack-dab middle of nowhere.
I studied international studies at university and was a member of AIESEC. Any of you guys in university or soon to be absolutely must check to see if your school/city has an AIESEC chapter and join up! It's great!
I experience wander-lust to the nth degree. If I didn't have to worry about money, I would travel the world, going wherever my next whim takes me.
Unfortunately I am a cliched unemployed/underemployed recent graduate who is completely disillusioned with the system and the people who made it.
I love web comics, and found SSSS through an ad. I've never commented any comics before though and I've never joined any sort of forum before in my life, so this is all new to me.

Hi, Laowai! Welcome to the club -- both of SSSS fans, and of people like me who never used to hang out in online forums.... till now. You'll find we're a friendly bunch, even when debating the pros and cons of nuclear warheads as a Cleansing tool, or who you 'ship with whom.
We encourage people to roam around freely and share their interests. In particular, you may enjoy the language forums (though unfortunately, I don't think we have many posts re: Chinese yet).

I truly understand how you feel. Also seems like your Chinese friends liked you, I'm more used to being called "gweilo" :D.

I'm a Finnish girlie, around Lalli's age, I'm also one of the folk who found SSSS through that language tree post (and that comparison chart between Finnish and Scandinavian languages), I saw it on tumblr and thought, oh wow someone's actually making a comic involving Finnish people, so I went to check it out and here I am a couple of months later, completely hooked. Mostly I just lurk in here and the in comic's comment section, although I do comment every once in a while.
Currently studying Business IT, even though my dream job will forever be an art teacher or graphic designer(or a librarian), IT kinda grew on me since I spend my days as a tech support -person to my family and friends. I will definitely take some courses in arts and crafts sometime in my life tho :D
I'm not exactly outdoorsy but during summer I like to wonder around in the forests and barley fields near my house, I live on the countryside(Southern Finland). Otherwise I spend my time reading fanfiction, writing ficlets I almost never publish aand drawing random things with mah tablet. And of course, hang around in here. English language comes rather easily to me, Swedish I can muddle through if you use simple words :D also studied some French and Japanese during junior high, but nowadays I remember almost nothing of either of those. Btw if someone here ever wants to learn Finnish, I'd be happy to teach some words and basic sentences and stuff like that.
Dunno what else to say, so feel free to ask me anything :D

Hey! My name's Madison, though I prefer being called Park, Allegra, or if you must, Madi. I'm 19, an INTP, a gir1gaym3r, and from Montana, USA. Sorry to disappoint, but I don't ride my horse to school. I don't even go to school (though I will in September, ugh). Or have a horse.
Speaking of school, I think I'm going to major in forestry or ecology. I haven't decided yet. I enjoy working with animals and being away from the human population, so...yeah.
I don't remember how I stumbled upon SSSS to be honest. :-[ But I do know that it's latched onto me as a fandom, so there's that.
My interests are, in order:
Attack on Titan: Been a fan since October of 2013. I'm caught up with the manga and anxiously wait for each new chapter. Ymir and Armin are my favorite characters! So deep in the fandom I'm at the ocean floor. I'm known as Jeantron on the subreddit.
The Creatures: Been a fan for almost 4 years now! Very first video I ever watched was Nova's Game of Life video in 2011. I'm a massively active fan even if I don't usually talk about them on my Tumblr blog. I watch their videos everyday. However, I'm not subscribed to Dex, Kevin, Jordan or Sp00n. (I have nothing against the last two, mind you. I'm just subbed to too many people as is.) My favorite Creatures are Nova, Seamus, and Immortal.
Vinesauce: I don't even know what to say about Vinesauce. Been a fan since January of last year and am very active on the site. Or rather, the Chatango chat. I usually only watch Vinny live but I like Joel, Limes, and Imakuni as well, but just usually don't get the chance to watch their streams live. I'm known as GirafficPark.
Vidya Games: There's really no videogame where I can say I'm in the fandom of, but I definitely love video games. Animal Crossing New Leaf, Pokemon ORAS/XY, Tomodachi Life, and the Sims are the games I play the most. I play all of them almost every day. Except for the sims, of which I haven't played in months but used to be a huge fan of.
Music: Self explanatory. I pride myself for my extensive and diverse collection of music. I'm listening to music from the second I get onto the computer and the time I get off, which is like...12 hours. I'm someone who likes a few songs by an artist but am not really a fan of the artist, however if I had to name musicians that I listen to the most or listen to more than one song by them, it'd be: of Verona, Orange Caramel, Grimes, Matthew Perryman Jones, Kimbra, and a fustercluck of 80s rock bands? I guess?
Hetalia: Nowhere near as into Hetalia ever since Attack on Titan came into the picture, however I was a die hard fan of Hetalia since 2009. Like, die die die hard. I know all of the fandom jokes, all of the artists, all the AMVs...yeah. Obsessed is an understatement. While I'm much more of a casual now, feel free to talk to me about it! I still enjoy it.
Other things include KPOP and cats. I'm active in KPOP in the sense that I listen to it all the time, but because of the horrible KPOP industry and some of the fans, I usually don't interact with many fans. With that being said, my fave groups are Orange Caramel and...Orange Caramel. Though I listen to a loooot of other groups, Orange Caramel is the only one I can truly consider myself a fan of. SISTAR is getting there, though. Former fan of SNSD and BigBang, and special shoutout to Lessang, Lim Kim, AKMU, and Ulala Session.
Cats are infinite. They need no explanation.

Not sure if I introduced myself yet but whatever.
Hey! My name's Madison, though I prefer being called Park, Allegra, or if you must, Madi. I'm 19, an INTP, a gir1gaym3r, and from Montana, USA. Sorry to disappoint, but I don't ride my horse to school. I don't even go to school (though I will in September, ugh). Or have a horse.
Speaking of school, I think I'm going to major in forestry or ecology. I haven't decided yet. I enjoy working with animals and being away from the human population, so...yeah.

I was told I should post in here to get squirrel cookies. :)
Another new face here. About me: I am from the USA, I have a fascination for 80's music, 80's culture, and I am an electronic musician (who does retro 80's synthpop music under the name Synthetik FM). I've made a few contacts in the synth music scene who are Swedish, so for fun, I decided to learn a bit of the language. My recently discovery of the SSSS comic (after finding the excellent language tree graphic on Google) has ignited my interest again.
This should be a lot of fun.

I've been posting things for a while here and completely forgot to make an introduction thread, so.. oops.
Anyway, I've never been too good at these, so... I am not entirely sure where to start... I was asked why I picked the name/avatar, and the reason for that is as simple as the fact that I just happen to like corvids.
Also, I've been lurking in the RPG thread for a while, because I am somewhat of a fan of pen-and-paper RPGs.
And lastly, I've got an interest in the mythologies of the nordic countries, which fits like a glove with this comic.
Oh, also, you might have figured it from the name, I'm a Finn.
So.. uhh.. Hi!

Are your parents diplomats or in international business? My brother works for the U.S. State Department; he and his family have lived in Egypt and the Philippines (and are soon to relocate to Germany). His kids speak at least a little of all kinds of languages.

Yeah, my parents are international teachers. I'm horrible with languages though, so Mandarin and English are all I can manage. Egypt sounds really cool! Do your brothers kids go to an international or local school there?

They live in the D.C. suburbs at the moment. But whenever they've lived overseas, they've gone to international schools, taught in English. (They're all learning German now, but 6 months of lessons wouldn't be enough for the kids to survive in German schools.)

Yeah, academics in a new language are crazy. It's pretty awesome that their family is learning some German ahead of time, though.

Hello all,
My name is Jenna
I am older than Tuuri but younger than Sigrun. I've been faithfully groveling after Minna page by long awaited page since I binge read to the BearVille-Hannu-Nest sequence of aRTD. I found her via DeviantArt, where she used to post the pages along with each update, and I'm soooo glad that I did, because her comic has... how do you even put into words how awesome Minna is outside of the art that she draws? She's inspiring to me as an artist, and as a young adult figuring out how to make a place in the world outside of the traditional "go to college, get job, be disappointed" cycle that so many of us seem to fall into. I admire her so much for finishing aRTD and then going on to fulfill her dream of drawing SSSS and making it into a full time career. I happily throw my money at her in exchange for a book when she does the print drives.
Anyways... I live in the Pacific Northwest, USA, and sadly only speak English, with some fragments of Spanish. My dream is to become fluent in Japanese and move there to work with homeless teens, but right now I'm still in the "make time to study my workbook" phase. I am seriously impressed that so many of you here on the forums speak multiple languages. That's not something we value/teach very much in the US, but I wish we did.
I do anything that sparks my fancy, and have an artistic spirit, so I dabble in many areas; Sewing, sketching, painting, playing piano/guitar, sculpting, writing... and I'm a complete bookaholic and video game addict, with a love for collecting retro nintendo games. Needless to say, I'm a webcomic addict, but really only religious about checking SSSS for updates.
I skipped out on college because I thought it would be a waste of time for me, so I ended up career-less for awhile. Career-less, but happy and debt free. I started an Etsy shop 5 yrs ago and have been making a living sewing animal costume accessories which, yes, include kitty ears in all colors of the rainbow. I'm married to a nerdy computer tech, and we have a fluffy little dog named Atticus.
I am a total introvert, and am intimidated by strangers in public, but love interacting with everyone in the SSSS community. You're all over there, safely behind my computer screen, unable to get at me if I don't want to be gotten at. :D I didn't start commenting until a couple chapters in, but now I'm a complete addict. My husband said to me today, "You're reading your comic already? Oh, no, you're just reading the comments. Well, at least something can make you smile and giggle in the morning."
I have a disorder called Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, MCS, which makes me have painful allergy-type reactions to most every artificial chemical I come into contact with, most notably fragrance, so I spend a lot of time in my house, alone, trying to stay away from the dangerous world. This community has kept my spirits up during the dreary winter months, and helped me feel connected and excited to get on and chat/read each day.
Thanks to everyone for making this such an awesome place to interact, and for keeping the trolls at bay with explosives. :D
P.s. I'm a shameless Lalli fangirl, and will be until the day I die. Fanart forthcoming.

You can deal with the scent of a flower but not the scent of a flower concentrated into perfume? Or are we talking about fragrance in general, as in the fragrance of coffee?

All mass-market perfumes these days are based on the same limited repertoire of artificial molecules, with bits added on or mixed in different proportions. Only the very most expensive perfumes use "real" ingredients! As a result, all perfumes a person can expect to come across will be artificial, and it's very easy to develop allergies to a sufficient number of the chemicals to be allergic to effectively all perfumes.Oh? That I can understand when you put it like that, but what's so bad about the structure of artificial chemicals that they as a class of chemicals cause reactions for some people?

That I am less sure of. I suspect they may all have some similar structure that "looks" to the immune system like the same thing.
I will do research if time permits.

MCS is a pretty complicated disorder that I'm still learning about, and is only recently being recognized by the medical community as actually existing. Basically, I don't have reactions to anything actually natural, like animals, pollen, or food, etc, and can safely use essential oils. My body (immune system+ other stuff) can't handle the toxicity of artificial chemicals, so over time it has become hypersensitive to such things. If unmanaged by limiting exposures, it progresses into more severe reactions to a larger range of chemicals (gas fumes, bleach, cigarette smoke). Multiple areas of the body are affected, such as respiratory, circulatory, nervous system, and even digestion.
In a country obsessed with putting artificial fragrance into EVERYTHING on top of the large amount of chemicals already in use, this makes my life a rather delicate balance of trying to remain a functional person, while also not being bedridden and/or hospitalized by some stupid air freshener or someone's perfume.
And sorry about the "general discussion" topic in the Intro thread. I'll leave it at that and try to continue any further commenting somewhere more appropriate. ;) I'm happy to chat via PM if anyone feels so inclined.
Thanks for the warm welcome! And for all the cookies. :3 *grabs glass of milk*

Forums have always been Greek to me, but I suppose I'll be joining the discussion anyway :) . Too many opportunities to miss.
I'm finnish all the way, and younger than Lalli by a few years.
Mother tongue Finnish, fluent English, get-by Swedish, somewhat Latin, and only the very basics Italian.
No idea what to say here... I'm in high school (in the sense not in university yet), and suffering from chronic lack of motivation. I'm in way too many fandoms and can't even keep track of them. :'(
Read ARTD last summer as a friend
I am a mass consumer of fanfiction, although I seem to be unable to create any. I also very much like AUs. Even some strange ones.... :-X And so for art forms my primary art form is something like fan videos, AMVs, slide shows... Secondary fan art which I'll probably post if I get something decent done, and then there's cosplay. We will see... ;)

Just a heads up... this is Jenna who posted earlier in the week, and I've decided to go with a different handle, Peraphelion. (my preferred pronunciation is Pear-uh-feel-eon) So any future posts will be going under that name. ;)
Ahh, so *that's* who that new name corresponds to! :) Welcome again.
So in your orbit, are you at the *closest* or *furthest* point from the sun? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perihelion_and_aphelion)

You're actually not the first recent arrival to mention feeling overwhelmed by the Forum. If you have any thoughts on how to make it more newcomer-friendly, please post them in the "Improvements" thread (over on the Forum board). Up till now, we've just been letting the Forum grow organically; this has led to many, many individual stacks of content but not a lot of organization.
Meanwhile, feel free to post any observations or questions that occur to you. We're a friendly bunch and try to make new commenters feel at home.

Nice to meet everybody, I am at the moment staring at this magnificent forum, and completely lost, as I tend to be in any commenting system that isn't disqus.
I am as old as Tuuri, and live in the Netherlands, I only speak Dutch, English and a little bit of highschool-French. (If for some reason someone wants to learn Dutch words, I'll be happy to help, though it would only be usefull in the NL and Belgium, pretty smaaal area of the world)
I like to call myself a scribbler, as in, I write down story snippets but never finish them. :-[
I also like drawing traditionally, mostly animals, monsters and simple human anatomy. I'm a hardcore manga and anime nerd, combining this with all the webcomics I follow I am basically glued to my computer. Otherwise I am probably found reading my growing graphic novel collection or studying for university. (Literature, second year)
Very happy to meet all of you who have gone before, I am frantically waving to all of you, with a derpy smile on my face. ;)

I came across SSSS a few months ago, but I didn't create an account on this forum, mostly because of my horrible English. But now, when all my friends trying to run away, if I say something like "Did I tell you about one wonderful webcomic ..." I especially need someone who understands my obsession. Hmm... I bet every english-speaker here will be suffering, while reading my posts. Especially because I'm very talkative person.
And so, my beautiful story. Once upon a time my classmate said "I should show you two gorgeous webcomics, and one of them is full of mooses". Yes, we talked about mooses (the best subject for the conversation, I believe). By the way, she didn't mentioned that these mooses are extremely unusual... Anyway, four days later I came to her, shouting "LET ME HUG YOU MY NEW BEST FRIEND BECAUSE YOU SHOWED ME THE MOST BEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE! Now, let's talking about it all the time". Strange, but she didn't call the police. The end.
Ah, yes, I should introduce myself. I'm from Russia, the same age as Tuuri (and the same gender). And I also have the same problem: "you're sixteen?.. or seventeen?.. twelve, maybe?" - That's what I always hear from each new friend.
I'm interested in everything except my university studies (third year student of philosophy - don't know why I got involved in this. I guess, to make sure that I'll never find a job).
I'm an annoying extrovert, too loud and too enthusiastic. The best way to deal with me when I'm in a good mood - leave me alone in a locked room for a few hours until I become quiet (almost all of my friends think so). I am eternally busy with some nonsense like writing short stupid stories for my little nephews, or drawing something strange and useless, or dancing with a bunch of crazy people in old-fashioned clothes ("mad robin" - this is just my favorite dance). Fortunately, in the Internet I can't cause too much problems. You're almost safe.

I prefer to be at the Aphelion, as I live in the northern hemisphere, but unfortunately I am caught up in the perpetual motion of the planet and am pulled back to Perihelion every year. Life has a way of doing that, and the name helps me to remember that change is natural, and inevitable.

Yeah, Moomins is my big love for a long time. Actually, on the last New Year's holidays, my cousin presented me a toy-Moomintroll and advised to call it Emil. Because it will make me happy for life. It was an excellent idea, but now no one person is allowed to touch my Moomin-Emil even a finger without my written permission.
Speaking about historical dances ... To be honest, I'm pretty useless in this matter, because in our dance club we get together just to drink tea, eat cookies, laugh a lot, maaaaaybe a little dance and, in the end, make a farce instead of a normal dancing-party.
I've already looked fan-art thread - and woah! - this forum is full of geniuses! I'm not too good at drawing, but I have too much free time now. I think it will have consequences.
And it is time to me to shut up, otherwise my idle chatter will never end.

Helloo other Newbie. :D *gives you a hug* Your enthousiasm is refreshing. Introverts (like me) don't hate you, they are maybe a little overwhelmed, like a cat that hisses when you suddenly pick it up and cuddle it. :3 As Lalli shows, if they get used to you, beautiful friendships can grow and you can do eachothers hair even. :-* Tragic story, I became very afraid of watching the Moomins after I saw an episode in which they are lost in a forest. No clue what episode it was but it was apparently such a strong image of 'getting lost' that I thought the Moomins were scary. *cough* Not anymore ofcourse, but I never watched much of it as a result. T-T

Well, all SSSS-readers know how important first impressions are. Better than anyone else :D For me the Moomins started with the excellent book "Comet in Moominland" and it's one of the best childhood memories.
Just realized: observation of the behavior of cats (and Lally) may be the best way to understand how not to annoy introverts.

Post by: curiosity on February 24, 2015, 04:51:53 PM
Can't you do that with latin letters (like "privyet")?Sadly, this manner cannot reflect all the sounds correctly :( Same can be said about any other language that uses alphabet that differs from latin one.
Post by: Hrollo on February 24, 2015, 05:08:45 PM
They tend to look weird, because they use ' and " to differentiate certain symbols.
Some of them still require special symbols that won't necessarily show up on the forum.
And if you're going to the trouble to learn orthography as opposed to just pronunciation, you might as well learn the cyrillic alphabet, which is really useful and not that hard (there is very little material to read in Russian-written-in-Latin, transcription schemes exist mostly for the purpose of passports and such).
Here's an overview:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanization_of_Russian#Transliteration_table
Myself I tend to use GOST 2002 (B), but I don't find any of these fully satisfying.

I found out about A Redtail's dream from Indiegogo. Actually, I saw a picture of Indiegogo's offices, and they had hung a banner for A Redtail's Dream from the ceiling; the artwork caught my eye. I found it online and devoured it quickly. By then Minna had already started SSSS and was running the print campaign for it. The artwork kills me. aRTD was amazing already, but she just keeps getting better and better.
At one point I wanted to get into comics. I took sequential arts in school, and loved it. But after starting my career in graphic design, I mostly stopped drawing. But Minna has inspired me to pick it up again. I'm way rusty, but it's good to see progress.
Since discovering aRTD, I've tried to find other comics I like as much, but haven't found too many yet. I'm really picky about artwork. I'm currently following Prague Race (I have no idea what's going on but it's all gorgeously hand-pencilied), and Wilde Life (the character/life drawing is pretty great). There are a few more that are on my list to check out, but I haven't yet.
I'm typically much more of a lurker than a poster, but I've enjoyed what I've read on the SSSS comments, so I figured I'd try my hand at participating here. I've only looked at a couple of threads so far...looks like there's a lot going on!

I found SSSS on a friend's recommendation last fall, and am madly in love with it. I've read it through three times (working on a fourth) and it's just. So fabulous. I'm so glad Minna's able to post so regularly, it would be MURDER on my soul if this only updated once or twice a week.

No, in terms of *declared* locals I think it's just you and me so far. I've seen a couple of members north and/or east of the Bay Area (on the map I couldn't pin it down to better than Gold Country-Sacramento-ish), and a couple more down by Gilroy and points south.
I'm kind of surprised there aren't bigger numbers, given the strong geek vibe of the Bay Area. ??? But I'm sure SSSS will find its audience all in good time.

I see we have one (unnamed) fan in Marin County, and others in Sacramento, Gilroy, Santa Cruz, and near Modesto, plus someone 'way up in the foothills. Otherwise, the next nearest mapped fans aren't till Santa Barbara, Reno, or Oregon. (But nobody from Portland?!?

I have been following Minna's fantastic comics ever since I stumbled upon A Red Tail's Dream comic site through some link in another webcomic and have been reading her work ever since.
Looking forward to acquainting myself with this place and all the people here. By a quick glance this looks like a fun set up with language subforum and all.

It's a dangerous business, Nimphy, going to a fan forum. You step onto that road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to. For hours and hours at a time.
Which is the reason I have not come to participate here earlier. I have been quite busy and I know I'll be hanging out here with your guys dangerously much if I get all immersed. But in the end I absolutely had to join. ;)

Pfft! Addiction? You fear addiction? Do not worry. Soon, you'll be overwhelmed with joy to be addicted to this wonderful corner of the Internet!

Hello to everyone here!
I finally decided to join the fan forum!
I go by the name Incanus01 in the comments section of the comic but here I chose to use my first name. :)
I have been following Minna's fantastic comics ever since I stumbled upon A Red Tail's Dream comic site through some link in another webcomic and have been reading her work ever since.
Looking forward to acquainting myself with this place and all the people here. By a quick glance this looks like a fun set up with language subforum and all.

I can't wait to explore this place. It seems pretty huge and a bit maze-like at the moment but I know from experience it takes some time to navigate new forums.

Whether you want to play tag with the old content as you catch up, or prefer to wait 'til the maze has been slain and lies flattened before your eyes, is up to you to decide, I suppose. ;)

Wait, what? :o Would that photo(?) happen to have been published?
It was on https://www.themuse.com/companies/indiegogo but now that link just redirects you to the homepage. I think company profiles are a paid service on themuse, so maybe Indiegogo isn't active now.
However, I did some serious googling and found this:
(http://www.barkerblue.com/blueblog/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/DSC_7619.jpg) (http://www.barkerblue.com/blueblog/brand-refresh/)
I'm not sure if that's the same one I saw. In my head it was different, both the banner and the room, but I could be remembering it wrong. In any case, it was clearly Ville's incomparable cute-power that led me to Minna. We're supposed to be looking at how cool their office is, but I can't see past the dog.
Random way to find out about a comic, for sure.
Post by: Kata Kissa on February 25, 2015, 05:11:56 PM
Also that is a really cool picture, otter, it's great that that picture (or one like it anyway) led to at least one person reading Minna's work. :D
Post by: JoB on February 25, 2015, 10:58:03 PM
I'm not sure if that's the same one I saw. In my head it was different, both the banner and the room, but I could be remembering it wrong.Hmmmm. That particular photo was taken 30-Mar-2014 (says the EXIF data contained in the file) and the rebranding depicted was publicly announced (http://techcrunch.com/2014/04/08/indiegogo-updates-its-logo-and-redesigns-website-finally-optimized-for-mobile-and-tablets/) around that date, too - by that time, the aRTD books had already been shipped to the backers. (And since I don't remember the dog!Ville postcard appearing electronically on the campaign page, ever, chances are that some Indiegogo staff member backed the campaign himself and that's where they got the artwork from in the first place.)
FWIW, this (https://go.indiegogo.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Feb_19_Blog_Post1.gif) is what their logo looked like while the aRTD print drive was running.

The link to the map is in the first post of this thread:
http://ssssforum.pcriot.com/index.php?topic=245.0
I see you there, with the sunflower! :) Clever. I used to live in the bay area, but relocated up to Oregon years ago. Would love to get together if I was closer. As it is, there's no one on the map from my area. I'm trying to convert minions left and right, but have only got one friend into it. It was rather wonderful to show him a bit of fan art and have him say, "That's Lalli, right?"

Officially I'm ich (without a capital I!) but I use mureena for registering purposes, so you can call me either. ("Mureena" is Finnish for moray eel if anyone's interested.) I'm 20, from Finland, and I've been reading SSSS since around the end of second chapter/beginning of the third. Currently I'm not studying anything or working but I'm trying to apply to a college this year.
Other than my obsession over SSSS I'm into animangos (a practical myanimelist link (http://myanimelist.net/profile/mureena)) and drawing, while my biggest dream in life is to own a dog.
I haven't been on actual forums for years so I apologize if I start to sound like Tumblr lingo, haha. I'm trying to get more active on the forum because none of my friends read SSSS and I need people to talk to..! (??? ) Let's

I was going to comment that your avatar is, uh, interesting but your myanimelist avatar is even more interesting. There's an anime thread over here (http://ssssforum.pcriot.com/index.php?topic=48.180). It says on your myanimelist that you've watched over 287 series (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiMHTK15Pik), is that actually right?

I've been meaning to join the forum for a while now, but I prefer to lurk, generally because... reasons. I really enjoy perusing the forums though so I figured I ought to at least introduce myself and stop lurking.
I'm a year older than Tuuri, I have a bachelor's degree in French and Spanish, I speak a little Italian, am learning Korean, and have recently added Finnish to my to-do list along with Japanese, Icelandic, Dutch, German and Russian just for fun ...I dream big. I call the pretty, pretty Pacific Northwest my home but I want to travel all over the world. I'm struggling to find a job though (because I refuse to be a teacher!) so that might take a while. In the meantime I read SSSS, post comments, read books, draw things, sing songs, and watch an embarrassing amount of Korean dramas.

Welcome! You'll find a good number of French speakers (from France, Canada, and Belgium so far, plus learners like me) and a few Spanish speakers. And given all the other languages you hope to learn for fun... you'll fit in just fine. :D
I don't suppose you want to move down to the overcrowded S.F. Bay Area, do you? I see a lot of jobs in writing/editing (my field) that require near-native fluency in one or more European languages as well as English. (Chinese too, if anyone else reads this...) I can make silly jokes in 2-3 languages and sing Hawaiian Christmas carols, but that's not exactly what they're looking for.
BTW, what inspired your forum name? Are you a jazz fan? If so, you'll find kindred spirits in the music threads.
Post by: Windfighter on February 27, 2015, 08:27:49 PM
So, I realized I haven't properly introduced myself yet, I kinda just jumped into everything. Figured it's time to fix that now that it's the dreaded chapter break!
I go by the name Windfighter on most sites I sign up, and I try to get people to just call me Windy, but I guess "Wind" is a kinda good name as well? Anyway, please call me Windy.
I'm a 26 year old girl living in the southern part of Sweden. I don't really speak english, but I like to think that I write it pretty well. I've also studied a bit spanish, but forgotten most of it. I'm fluent in swedish though!
I'm mostly a lurker, too shy to do anything else than peek at what you guys write, but I'm trying to be more active.
I started stalking Minna about halfway through aRTD so I've read SSSS since it first started. I also frequent a lot of other webcomics, but SSSS is by far my favorite which is why I've started delurking around the forum and the comment section.
What more can I tell you?
I enjoy writing, reading and watching anime. I still haven't written a fanfic for SSSS, but I'm working on that. I also recently learned how to make AMV's and continued my success with making two fanvids for SSSS.
Err... I'm out of ideas about what to write now, so if there's anything else you'd like to know about me feel free to ask!

Welcome, fellow PNWester! *longdistanceawkwardsidehug* No one will judge you for watching the Korean dramas.... at least, I can't, as I've watched several and am hesitant to admit it to the general public. >_>

Haha I've been perusing through the language thread for the past hour or so. J'ai vu que vous parlez français trés bien ;D It looks like the romance language thread is pretty much dead though... I may just post something anyways, just for kicks.
So where/how do you find these writing/editing jobs? I wouldn't mind living in S.F. It is, in fact the only city in California I could live in (the Oregonian is strong in me). It would be an adventure, that's for sure.
My forum name is something I made up when I was eleven for my email address. Back then I really hated having numbers in my username so it took me forever to come up with something. Eventually I started naming objects around the room, one of which was a book my grandma was reading called "White Jazz." That of course was taken so I typed in Blackjazz and the rest is history. :) It's got nothing to do with music but I did play the clarinet for seven years and was in choir for many, many years.

Well I like Pen and Paper games, and first I thought in the RPG thread I could join, but as far as I understood it's not ready to play... I love languages, even when I only speak german and english, and a bit spanish and french (but that's already a long time ago, so not so perfect). I want to learn some scandinavian languages and maybe finish ^^ What I definitely want to do is make a trip around scandinavia (or at least "normal" holiday in these countries). Maybe I can find people who want to come with me :D
Well I like to draw, but I never find the proper time to improve or upload anyhting. And I like all kinds of Metal, but I also listen to other music genres. Especially to musicals (as Lion king, phantom of the opera, Dance of the vampires, etc) and disney music :D so a happy colourful bunch of different things which not exclude each other.
So nothing more comes up my mind. Oh well I'm a really big Bioware fan (Dragon Age and Mass Effect). So and for everything else just ask me ^^

I draw a LOT and am also writing a fanfic at the moment, but I'm going back and forth over whether to post it or not (worrying over characterizations and such aha) so doodles will probably be my main contribution to this fandom! Also I might cosplay this in the vague future whee
Alternate fandoms include a couple animes, homestuck (kind of), and lots and lots of webcomics.
That's it, most likely!

I'm relatively new to the ssss fandom (a couple months at most?) but it's absolutely fantastic and has quickly become my main fandom. I'm here from tumblr, so I probably walk, talk, and act like tumblr, so apologies in advance...

Oh, I'm sure Piney already has more than enough eggs for her cookie-making. I don't have any, anyway. :)
Post by: Blackjazz on March 06, 2015, 09:08:55 PM
apparently there are cookies being given in exchange for introducing oneself....
I'm a language nerd too! It's kind of a problem. I can't keep myself to studying only one language at a time >.< I've only just recently started indulging in all my other nerdy interests, but the language thing has always been there. :D I've always failed at science though, so I gotta applaud you there.

I just discovered (ok a few days ago) this extraordinary webcomic and I fell in love with everything! Now I am slowly walking around the fan forum and think it's quiet an amazing place too! So here I am.
Name Emma, born in France, grew up in Africa (Gabon), then *complex maps of various travel in the world* and then ended in Quebec.
I am in my late 30 and just have a baby (my baby girl!!!! ;D). I hope to show her how the world is full of wonderful and various people. I am a scientist, a wannabe writer and addicted to outdoor activities... and I fell in love with winter.
I am not fluent in many languages alas. French and slowly english (be kind, I make mistakes)... German is far awaaaaaaaaaay.
*thaaaanks - find the info for the flags!*

Hi there!
Hello and welcome!
There is a useful "forum help" thread HERE (http://ssssforum.pcriot.com/index.php?topic=258). A post or two down you will find instructions for the flags.

Finally figured I'd make it over here and create an account. I'm a 19-yr-old lady from the US, I've been reading since like halfway through aRTD although I don't comment a whole lot (when I do it's under the name Claire featuring an obese cat pic) but I do like reading what people have to say! Aaanyway, I'm in college right now, thinking about going into geology but I'm not totally sure. In the meantime I work at a little shop designing and printing t-shirts! I like webcomics, silly cartoons, making stuff, learning stuff, and sandbox/simulationey video games. So yep!

At your convenience, I suggest you talk with OrigamiOwl (who is delightful company anyway) BECAUSE she's created some SSSS T-shirt designs! Maybe we can actually make them a thing!
Also, welcome to the Forum! I've seen your icon on Disqus -- is the photo that poor overweight cat that Anderson Cooper once petted on TV?

Post by: Sunflower on March 12, 2015, 06:00:11 PM
Hello! I have been lurking since fairly early on in aRTD. I love stories, and science, and have a mostly healthy obsession with swing dancing. I only speak English, though theoretically I am learning German. I play violin and otamatone (look it up!), and I'm in Science Olympiad, which is like a team sport for science nerds who are sad because there aren't enough tests in the actual science classes we're taking.
Mostly though I'm just far too obsessive about swing, and nobody should ever talk to me on Thursday because all that's going to come out of my mouth is stories about all the wonderful and amazing things that happened at swing, and what new aerial I learned, and who said what, and...
Anyway, hello everyone!
Welcome, Saeirin! You'll be a great addition to the Forum. If you want to exercise your science-nerd side, you can comment on anything from etiology of the Rash (http://ssssforum.pcriot.com/index.php?topic=18.0) to rebuilding the plastics/petro-chemicals industry (http://ssssforum.pcriot.com/index.php?topic=327.0) in the Known World.
And if you like swing, join the commentary on the music thread. (http://ssssforum.pcriot.com/index.php?topic=9.0) We have a lot of jazz and swing fans (Rollo in particular) and are always open to new recommendations.
We're (well, others more musically talented than me) even creating a fan musical (http://ssssforum.pcriot.com/index.php?topic=58.0) -- check it out.
Best wishes,
Sunflower

If you like to draw, you should definitely check out the ssss art museum (http://ssssforum.pcriot.com/index.php?topic=35.0)! Actually, you should check out that thread anyway because it's pure awesome.

I'm Haiz, I haven't really been on a forum since I was 11 and that was kind of a really embarassing experience, so I'm pretty scared to do anything other than lurk, really......... But after reading SSSS (what, two weeks ago? I caught up just as the break began) I accidentally turned my personal tumblr into a SSSS blog aand uh yeah anyway. I don't think I'll be very active but I guess I'll post some art and stuff maybe??? I mean honestly I should just go to sleep right now
Anyway uh actual introduction yes. Haiz, 20 years old, Norwegian/Czech; Norway-dwelling (I might add tiny flags in the signature thing later I guess. are there even czech flags?), kinda genderless.
I'm currently an art history student, I draw a lot, used to write a lot, I travel a lot (I've been to most of the european countries at this point???), I'm in a historical archery club, aaand I play folk music on violin (not very well). I have a bit of viking cred in form of an outfit, viking market attendance, and a runestone in our garden. I'm scared of the future and of being an adult. I like cartoons, webcomics and pokémon. I'm really drawn to postapocalyptic fantasy settings, especially those who are all back-to-origins/restarting society, but I'm not a fan of zombies. SO YEAH that's me nice to meet you

Welcome, Haiz! By pure coincidence, I was looking at your Tumblr this morning, via the "lalli-hotakainen" Tumblr, and wishing we had your great fan art. Wish granted!
Will you add the explanation from your Tumblr about why each member of the crew is playing that particular instrument?
And will you post more of your work?

I'm from Iceland, originally Finnish. I speak Finnish, Icelandic, English and a brain-addling mixture of Swedish and Icelandic, meaning I try my Swedishest but Icelandic slips in here and there regardless (I can usually tell by the look on my Swedish friends' faces that something I just said made exactly zero sense)(I also make other hilarious mistakes in Swedish)(jag svimmade hela sommaren). I write a gratuitous amount of sub-par fanfic, study Medieval sagas, try to learn more languages (Japanese, French) and knit a LOT. I found SSSS by following an interesting link from... somewhere... tumblr maybe, and got stuck on both the awesome story and the fandom that's unlike any fandom I've ever been to before! So er hi all and nice to meet you! :)

Hi!! I'm not surprised about the amount of norwegians, it's like we're drawn to anything with norway in it... I may have made my czech friend read ssss (or at least start to) but also caused more norwegian readers in the process. Woops. I'm so hipster I don't have all the flags yet
Post by: John Candlebury on March 15, 2015, 04:01:04 PM
Ive been following SSSS pretty much from the day it started, found it accidentally through some ads somewhere, best miss-click in my life for sure. I still haven't read A Retail's dream however.
Also, I like doodling stuff, and Roguelikes.

Hi hi! The cookie-gun is a new thing, I don't believe I've tested it here on the forum. It's currently empty from pelting you in the comments, but if you'd like more, please refer to my previous posts in this thread. There's always lots of extras!

I go by Snaketoes, Ghostplops, sometimes Vonwaffle and/or Beatrix, I'm the spoop doops, professional internet potato chip.
I just turned 21 a few months ago, and if you count sitting around and playing video games moderately drunk as a coming of age because that's what I did, PARTY.
I'm not educated beyond high school (don't go down that path if you can avoid it!) I currently live on THE SUN aka California with my significant other, but I'm from Oregon. I miss trees. And water. Right now I am a receptionist, p cool riiight? But ultimately I want to become an artist of some sort, a tattoo artist, a concept artist (but the video game industry is kinda awful, so probably not haha), start a webcomic of my own, I have some neat ideas! Or maybe if I can ever dig up a pile of money go to college for mechanical engineering, oh I also have a hankering to learn coding. There's an inane amount of things I want to do, I have no attention span so I need a clone or two methinks.
Other things I like to do: Watch old horror movies, watch weird old anime, watch weird not-so-old anime, play a lot of video games, cry over Dragon Age and cry at myself for playing Destiny continuously.
Anyway that's enough about my stanky life! I discovered SSSS through an add during a webcomic binge and clicked it because the art looked very pretty! I am so glad I did, because I'm in deep, thank you advertising! *u*
Ahh it's nice to meet you all, I will try to be talkative but I am quite anxious and shy AND IT'S BAD.

Welcome, Ghostplops! We've seen you over on Disqus -- glad you signed up here too.
We have plenty of artists, comickers, engineers, coders, and college students here (in various permutations), so whatever your future plans, you'll find someone to discuss them with. And several Californians, including me.
We're all friendly, so feel free to explore and soon you'll be right at home.

Hallo and welcome!
1. That sounds like a coming of age party I might actually enjoy. :D
2. Feel free to come back to Oregon when you finally run out of water down there. (That drought sounds wicked!) I currently live in Oregon, and thoroughly enjoy the trees and water. I would try to keep the stinky Californians away, but I am, sadly, one of them. Or used to be. Not sure when I can write that wrong off my record.
3. Destiny does that to a person... I managed to break my addiction, but I just keep wanting to go back. If only there was more storyline... that I didn't have to pay extra for... *shakes fist at Bungie*
That being said, I'll skedaddle before I get zinged by an admin for chatting in the intro thread. Nice to meet you! Hope we bump into each other elsewhere.
Post by: TwistySticks on March 17, 2015, 05:04:08 AM
I'm TwistySticks and I've been reading SSSS for about 3 months now because I found the comic through someone posting the Proto-Indo-European and Uralic language tree and I clicked it and become hooked! As well as the three months I have been stalking the comments and forum for a while too. (Saying stuff like this is definitely like I'm in group counselling or something).
My life at the moment is dominated by my College work. I'm doing Ancient History, Biology and English Literature with a Latin qualification on the side. I was greatly appreciating the Latin down in the comments today. I think it was today anywhoo.
Apart from work, I'm usually sitting in my house in the internet. So I think this forum will give me something active and social to do then. :D
Post by: Robert on March 17, 2015, 09:37:20 PM
I started reading when aRTD was posting. As I recall, Ville was in seal form.
I'm a 33 year old software developer. I was born in Indianapolis, moved to the Chicago suburbs for work, and since then moved to Honolulu. Mostly chasing the sun, but I made sure I had work before moving.
I work as a contractor and consultant. Currently I'm mostly working with an insurance company in Honolulu as a contractor and as a consultant for a small business that sets up and runs eCommerce sites for carpet cleaners with real time scheduling. I'm working on setting up a consulting business providing paid consulting and partnerships on speculative software for mobile, web, eCommerce, IoT, and anywhere else software runs.
When I'm not working I read a great deal on fantasy/sci-fi, history, philosophy, biography, and classical works.
Post by: Q on March 17, 2015, 11:59:13 PM
I'm not sure how active I'll be over here, I haven't used a forum in ages... But I wanted to register to be able to keep better track of forum posts - there's a lot of threads I'll be wanting to comb through in the near future! (...I realized this after already reading through the entire fanart thread and needing to know where I stopped off.) I found out about SSSS through friends talking about it, read it all in one night a couple weeks ago, and now I'm a little in love.
Besides that - I'm 23, American, my main interests are things like history, art history, geography, linguistics, planning, architecture, identity, and so on; I've fallen into a major special interest hole with the Nordic countries in general over the past year, too, so that's certainly part of the reason for SSSS's appeal! (My other significant fandom is Hetalia. Quite a different way of looking at the same areas, that's for sure.)
I like cats and coffee. I'm working on learning Norwegian but I'm slow.

Post by: Vafhudr on March 19, 2015, 09:18:12 PM
I go by Vafhudr on the internet. I am a 22 year old French-Canadian, though I have acclimated well enough to English by now. I have emerged mostly whole from a first round of university with a double major in Political Science and Classics. I have a passion for history, along with literature, sociology, philosophy, psychology, architecture, art (especially visual), and the natural sciences. Writing and spending inordinate of time wasting myself on the internet are my main hobbies. I have some interest in Scandinavian/Nordic culture, more precisely with Finland and Iceland - especially from the comparative perspective of my studies (Ancient democracy is one of the big things I worked on, as well as mythology and religion). I need to find time to learn some of these languages...
I am currently decaying way up north, working a job I rather hate as I await an admission answer from universities. My daily dose of SSSS keeps me going, if only for a bit. A friend showed me SSSS and then I read ARtD on my own. I enjoyed both tremendously. I read webcomics sporadically, binging on whatever catches my fancies, along with mangas and other related nerd bullshit on the internet these days. What a time to be alive.

I'm Christopher McCauley, started reading SSSS since page 208. I've lived all my life in Ireland, almost 20. Going to university this September to study Biology (Coleraine). Thus far, SSSS is the only webcomic I'm interested in (but if Lars_B likes Girl Genius...), but so far its actually one of my favorite pieces of media. I've never done paid formal work, but I make some money off of selling software (mostly related to security), and I've done gardening/ plant breeding before.
Post by: Viisikielinenkantele on March 25, 2015, 05:30:40 PM
I go by the name of Viisikielinenkantele which you can also see as my avatar and I found SSSS (like a lot of people I`m guessing) through a picture of the language tree on a lingustics-blog. I just looked it up and was instantly hooked. So I´ve been lurking a lot in the forum and the comments and finally got the courage to participate. And it´s fun! :)
So, about me. I´m german, female and my age is currently between Sigrun and Taru.
I studied fenno-ugric/uralic languages at university, but this was a long time ago, so my finnish is a little rusty (and my estonian is almost completely forgotten *cough*), but I´m still deeply in love with the north.
So, what else is there to say? I play a few instruments, I sing, I sew, I write, I have family... oh yeah, and I work. This pretty much fills up my days. When I have free time I like reading a lot of books.
So, now I´m off reading the threads! See you!

I've been following Minna, our lord and creator, for a few years now, way back when little Hannu was cavorting about the dream realm with Seal-Ville! Read the whole book in one night and have been hooked since then. I love this comic, and I love our fandom!
I am a Southern California girl, living it up at the tender age of 21. Currently working towards getting a degree in Fine Arts with an emphasis in Graphic Design. Doing all things crafty is my lifeblood, that and parousing the internet waaayy too late at night. Some interests includes reading, going on walks, roller coasters, bungee jumping, drawing, crocheting, snorkeling. I am obsessed with all things vintage, thrift stores, and typical Hipster lifestyle (though I hate to admit it). I am quirky, and OK with that!
Can't wait to spend more of my time with you guys, I want to be a more active member of this forum!

Hello, I'm BarbaryLion22. I am terrible at usernames. I suppose you can call me Barbary? I am a female three years younger than Emil and Lalli, and I currently live in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. I go to a decent public high school, and I am currently planning on doing something college-y...eventually. I like reading, music (both playing and listening), and... artsy stuff, I suppose. I am currently studying Japanese, know a bit of Hawaiian and Spanish, and can swear in a couple of other languages.
I found SSSS through one of the tantalizing ads on some website that I cannot remember last fall, and have since binge-read ARtD. I discovered the forum some time ago, but only recently created an account. I like all sorts of visual media, but aside from SSSS, right now I am hooked on Assassination Classroom and Tokyo Ghoul:re. I even have a gachapon of Nagisa!
Thank you for all being wonderful people, and for encouraging me and others like me to join this community!

I didn't think I'd start posting around here, but since I did, I might as well introduce myself. I'm Vixy. The nickname comes from "vixen", and I only used it because I was ginger for a very long time. Now I'm no longer ginger, but the name kind of stayed. I'm a twenty-five year-old Russian girl who grew up in Lebanon and now studies in Germany. I speak Russian, English, Arabic, German (this one's worse than the others) and - in theory - French (haven't used that one in ages). I also dabble in ancient Greek and Latin. Would love to learn Finnish and Japanese. Other than that, well, I am an incredible bookworm, because it's effectively my "job" - I'm a graduate student in philosophy, so all I do is read, write, play videogames and travel. Oh, I also knit socks for people. I absolutely love theatre, on either end (spectator or crew member) and teaching people about philosophy and literature, because that kind of works like theatre.
I think I found an SSSS banner on some other comic website, Minna's drawing style pretty much won my heart instantly. I also have a thing for Scandinavian things, because somehow, after all this time, my favourite books are still Tove Jansson's Moomin-troll series. I'm still not sure I'm going to be active on the forum because I am trying to procrastinate less and study harder, but you all sound like interesting people, so I'm quite glad I finally posted here :)

I started reading the comics few months ago, I think by far my favorite character is Emil as he reminds me of a ferret. I have been told about this forum by a few people, but as I am a bit shy and nervous around new people it took me some time to enter this cave of awesome.
On the whole introduction thing… it always seemed to me as if you’re presenting a product of some sort. Then again I suppose we human beings are indeed that.
In light of that, this particular odd creation is currently an undergraduate student in Psychology, like most of the people here I spend my time roaming through the debris of the World of Internet. However, offline I do enjoy diving into endless amounts of books, as it is in my opinion the best way to travel between universes. Wondering off into forests, abandoned places and such is amongst my hobbies alongside roof climbing and drawing.
I do believe I also have a grand plan to take over the world with my army of intelligent potatoes.

In february, a friend made a link with a drawing on differences between scandinavian’s languages. I was curious and absolutely not aware of what will happen.
Two days after, I had read all the pages of Stand Still Stay Silent, some with an huge smile and nearly clapping hands : I love the story, the drawnings are wonderful.
More few days after, I had read A Redtail’s Dream too and was asking for the Kalevala in spite of my bookseller’s strange look, asking me to spell it.
The forum seemed too big, I'm a bit shy and my english isn’t fluent (and I really need to buy a french-english dictionnary)... but, well, I have to admit I’m completely addicted to Stand Still Stay Silent, so... let’s try not to lose myself here ? :)
What can I say about me... I’m a 28 years old french who couldn’t live without a pen, a notebook and a book in her bag. My studies in history and history of arts were fabulous but doesn’t give a kind of promised job in a museum ; however today I’m very good at staying in front of a painting/sculpture/object/church/abandoned place/something else, smiling alone when everybody is already far away. I write since I know how to do so I live constantly with one or two other words in a part of my head, read a lot, drink tea, more tea, knit, cook bredele and practice ju jutsu. (Some but not all in the same time.) And, one day, I’ll go in Iceland. One day.

Newbie here exploring the forum while he's supposed to study art history in a small provincial university town where bicycles are more numerous than people. Luckily there is a Scandinavian studies contingent there, so I'm trying to get this comic to them. So far, most have liked it.
When not studying modern art history I'm occupying my free time with wandering the interwebs and writing a very long all-encompassing (or encompassing as much as I can hope to remember to pay attention to) commentary on all the Harry Potter books. Currently I'm slowly slogging through the early days of book 2.
I found SSSS by the language tree posted somewhere on business-insider. As there are some inaccuracies in the accompanying commentary I first started by pointing at errors based on my limited knowledge of the origin of languages (the omission of dead or transformed languages rather irked me out, te absence of Middle English and Latin being a very strong one), but then I stumbled upon its source. You know the rest of the story.

welcome to the forum, Mélusine and snotra!
Enjoy your stay, and don't forget to visit the two art threads (I'm sure everyone can find more than enough material for staring in wonder on both the SSSS Arts Museum (http://ssssforum.pcriot.com/index.php?topic=35.0) for fan art, and the Forum's Art Museum (http://ssssforum.pcriot.com/index.php?topic=33.0) for original works), or the Language Board. And the Scriptorium (http://ssssforum.pcriot.com/index.php?topic=193.0)! For starters. ;)
Hope to see more of you here!
Post by: phyripo on April 07, 2015, 09:08:19 AM
Another newbie reporting in. It's been a while since I was on any forum at all! But this one seems worth breaking my lurking habit for.
Well, about me. I'm phyripo, which means absolutely nothing and is pronounced FEYE-ree-po. I'm nineteen, from the Netherlands and currently studying linguistics. I have an intense love for Germanic languages, especially Scandinavian ones, but it was not through Minna's language tree that I found ssss (although I had seen the language tree and was very charmed by it). Someone I follow on tumblr reblogged some ssss-related things, and I thought it rather looked like something I would like. And I did! I read the whole comic the day before my Lithuanian exam, so I blame that for accidentally writing down a Swedish word. /o\
I don't actually speak Swedish, but I would like to learn it sometime in the future. Especially if I decide to dive deeper into that Germanic language-obsession. I do speak Dutch, and my English is pretty okay, and my German is also okay, and my French is... Sort of okay. I can read Spanish and Latin, and I'm supposed to know Greek, Gothic and Lithuanian, but don't test me on that. Danish is a work in progress. (I'm taking a very deep breath now.) Languages!!!1!

Welcome, Snotra! I am curious about the origin of your name, if you care to share it. Also, maybe someday you can explain to me how Snape was actually a good guy all along in Harry Potter, because I got totally lost.
And welcome, Mélusine! Are you named after the beautiful mermaid-enchantress? I hope you won't disappear with a cri de Mélusine if we ever discover your true identity! It's nice to add another Francophone to the Forum. Rollo, P__ and FrogEater are some of our most active French participants; we also have quite a few other French-speaking members from Canada, Belgium, etc. (And then there are people like me, who try to speak French but frequently resort to translation sites like Reverso (http://www.reverso.net/text_translation.aspx?lang=EN) -- much better than Google Translate.)
Hello!
Another newbie reporting in. It's been a while since I was on any forum at all! But this one seems worth breaking my lurking habit for.
Well, about me. I'm phyripo, which means absolutely nothing and is pronounced FEYE-ree-po. I'm nineteen, from the Netherlands and currently studying linguistics. I have an intense love for Germanic languages, especially Scandinavian ones, but it was not through Minna's language tree that I found ssss (although I had seen the language tree and was very charmed by it). Someone I follow on tumblr reblogged some ssss-related things, and I thought it rather looked like something I would like. And I did! I read the whole comic the day before my Lithuanian exam, so I blame that for accidentally writing down a Swedish word. /o\
I don't actually speak Swedish, but I would like to learn it sometime in the future. Especially if I decide to dive deeper into that Germanic language-obsession. I do speak Dutch, and my English is pretty okay, and my German is also okay, and my French is... Sort of okay. I can read Spanish and Latin, and I'm supposed to know Greek, Gothic and Lithuanian, but don't test me on that. Danish is a work in progress. (I'm taking a very deep breath now.) Languages!!!1!

This is one of the best web comics out there, IMHO. Story, characters, drawing, color it’s got it all. So I’ll be around for the duration. I do hope Minna decides to do print books again this one’s a keeper. Well, back to the other world. Hmmm, I used to say back to reality but nah, it’s all the same, it’s just how we perceive and interact with the time space continuum that we find ourselves in.

I finally caved and handed over all my remaining free time to this board.
I actually don't quite recall how I found SSSS last year, I think it was because of a banner on another webcomic. (Oh, the times when my time was only consumed by one web comic…) I then forwent my weekend plans of going into the city in order to catch up with the comic. Since then I've been staring at the most recent page each day and marvelling at the artwork.
At some point I wanted to join the discussion beneath the pages and got me a Disqus account a few months back.
What else to reveal about me?
German reader from Berlin, I successfully dropped out of English and Dutch studies with a short side dish of History of Arts and am now working in my absolute dream job: customer care agent on the phone. \o/ Before all of that I finished an apprenticeship as media designer.
Fanstuff I currently burn for:
Godzilla (I honestly don't understand how Godzilla Millenium doesn't get more love.)
Welcome to Night Vale
Music (Muse, IAMX, Amanda Palmer to name a few)
Fanstuff I sometimes burn for:
Games (Pokémon, Zelda, Monster Hunter (I've got the SSSS crew as Palicoes in MH4U ;D ))
Manga (Dragon Ball, Hellsing, my great Manga time is kinda over-ish, since I now spent all my money on bands -.-; )
More music
Stuff I've got forgotten because it's too late and my brain's gone mush…
Also I tend to draw stuff, nowadays mostly on my phone or iPad. The latter is not really comfortable and needs a lot of practise even though I spent too much money on a stylus that's pressure sensitive. *sigh* I'm also in a weird love-hate relationship with hands.
I also write fanfic which mainly consists of taking people and tossing them into fantasy worlds/situations. One day, one day, though, I'll finish my
Languages I speak are:
German: Native Speaker
English: Quite advanced, I daresay
Dutch: Some rusted shards
French: Whatever I didn't manage to forget after school. :P
Latin: Whatever you learn from Asterix and a childhood spent loving dinosaurs (my favourite's Oviraptor, which taught me the words Egg and Thief).
And now I shall be off to dreamy land. *waves*

Maayybeee. It really depends on my moods. I'm tempted by the self-insertion thread, though. :P

Post by: Eulinne on April 13, 2015, 04:27:51 AM
The magnificent language tree by Minna was my reason to begin reading the SSSS. As a linguist, I like to read stories featuring various interesting linguistic situations. And I also adore apocalyptic works :3
I am more interested in discussions of characters/languages, than in creating fan-content, but one never knows ;)

Apparently I am wildfire. I am from Norway, and my english is horrible, so I apologize in advance for all awkward englishing on my part. (It's also worth mentioning that my signature might be deceiving; I did learn german for 5 years, but I'm not sure how well I would understand anything. I can read danish and swedish without any problems, and I can also understand it if spoken to me, but I CANNOT MAKE WORDS WITH MY MOUTH in said languages. But I AM the most best when it comes to speaking norwegian.)
I blame Haiz for being here, as I fell in love with hirs ssss fan-art on facebook and I just had to find the source of hirs awesomeness. (lol I already regret starting this post, it feels like a never-ending pile of failurreeee!) So I was hooked and Haiz introduced me to this forum - it only took me a while to actually join because I am not the Sigrun I wish I was.
I could try telling you how old I am in units of Tuomi, edit: but I'm not sure how well I would do, so I'll settle with "the same age as Tuuri". I have been stuck in the fan-art thread all day, wishing I had the patience to actually teach myself how to draw. However, I can brag
Also, I quote Haiz:
(...)
I like cartoons, webcomics and pokémon. I'm really drawn to postapocalyptic fantasy settings, especially those who are all back-to-origins/restarting society
(...)
I swear, this was not supposed to be an autobiography, but it seems I really do have a problem with keeping things short..

Oh no I hope I didn't make you feel bad? I am flattered you want to include me, and in theory I should be exactly what you're looking for, since I have been taught to write nynorsk since I startet to learn writing, I just know for a fact that my teachers haven't been the best and they have taught me a lot of faults that I cannot seem to work out without having to really work it out. But as I mentioned - and as I also mentioned in the thread - I would be happy to help if you need it. I just thought you should all know I'm not sure how much help I would be. But sure, I can proofread, and I can try translating if it's needed. But I might take some time, since I'll have to proofread twice or three times to be sure I'm not making horrible mistakes.

You're not alone. I skipped several years of my life because I could never remember how old I am… For example, I never was 19. I was 18 for two years and jumped right to twenty… -.-; Did that a few times throughout my twenties before forgetting my age altogether for a few years.

A friend of mine told me once how it was "hilarious how you sometimes forget how old you are" and I was like "? ?? ?? ?? THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME?!!?!??!!!" and he was like ".. nooo, you do it all the time.." so I went all "!!!!!! OMG HOW OLD AM I THEN I KNOW I AM TEN YEARS YOUNGER THAN MY OLDEST BROTHER BUT OH GOD HOW OLD IS HE?!?!" and then freaking out happened. I think I scared said friend.

I just go confused for a moment and try to count from my birth year. Which also proves difficult since my brain tends to shut down when presented with higher math such as subtraction.
I only started the freak out whenever I realised I'd be hitting thirty liek SOOOOON! But it's not all that different once you're there. You don't suddenly wake up and are fully grown up. And then you go back to simply not caring much.

Well then it seems like you've come to terms with your "how old am I really?"-problem, whereas I forget it actually is a problem of mine and when it occurs and I am aware of it I go "oh noes what is this even I need to figure this out once and for all" and, as it would seem, "once and for all" can happen a great amount of times..
Pfft, no, that ain't happening.

PHEW good, I am not here to make peeps feel bad, I am here to drool on fan art and perhaps muster some internal Sigrun to actually post something relevant anywhere. (perhaps Sigrun isn't the most best example for posting relevant stuff as she strikes me as not always the most relevant one idk?)
And also GREAT count me in if needed, I could always need the practice, since I am studying to becoming a norwegian teacher and also wants to learn how to english teach small people.

It keeps your life surprising and exciting. :P
Maybe it just goes together with me caring less and less for birthdays in general the older I get. (I would be offended if all people close to me just collectively forgot about my birthday, though. I'm not that indifferent about birthdays…)

I lost interest in my birthdays sometime before I turned eighteen. So I haven't cared for my birthday in.. *counting fingers*.. wait, how old did I say I was?
Almost 23.. OK, got it. If we assume I lost interest in my birthdays when I was 16, it's 7 years. 7 years of birthday-indifference. And I don't even care if people congratulate me or not either, as long as they don't sing and dance and make a really big deal out of it; that's THE worst!
And I realized just now that I am shamelessly spamming this thread, I am so sorry and I will stop now, I just find it amusing getting to know peeps here because I feel so welcome already and I haven't done a thing to deserve it.

I agree about the amazingness of SSSS and the community it attracts. A refreshing alternative to some other parts of the Internet.

Hi, Daéa. I hope we don't come across as *too* crazy and/or intimidating -- we're friendly, really!
Please don't ever hold back because you're "afraid of writing something wrong." English isn't the first language for a lot of the Minnions -- and most of the rest of us are learning something difficult like Finnish, Korean, or Elvish! (For my part, I'm trying to revive my high-school French on the French thread.)
I'm a big fan of Brazilian music (more the older styles, like bossa nova and samba, though I'm trying to listen to newer things too), so the few words of Portuguese I know are mostly from Tom Jobim lyrics. ("Águas de Março" is one of my very favorite songs.) If you like music and want to recommend something, you'll find kindred spirits on the Music Thread.

I'm Teagan. I'm turning 27 in a few days, but I am a giant nerd and sometimes forget I didn't just turn 20. I help take care of someone's house and run errands for them as a living. I've traveled a little but mostly in the US. On top of the languages in my sig, I've tried learning Romanian, Irish Gaelic and Old Norse, but only remember a few phrases of each. I like cultures, languages, writing/world-building, Homestuck and used to be a pretty big fan of various anime, but I don't watch much now.

I didn't find any specific thread or post about this, so I will ask here (please don't kill me). HOW DO I FLAG? D:
Info on that and flags available is in this thread (http://ssssforum.pcriot.com/index.php?topic=258.0).

Somehow I only just found this....
I'm Teagan. I'm turning 27 in a few days, but I am a giant nerd and sometimes forget I didn't just turn 20. I help take care of someone's house and run errands for them as a living. I've traveled a little but mostly in the US. On top of the languages in my sig, I've tried learning Romanian, Irish Gaelic and Old Norse, but only remember a few phrases of each. I like cultures, languages, writing/world-building, Homestuck and used to be a pretty big fan of various anime, but I don't watch much now. I enjoy a lot of kinds of music, but current really like dubstep.
And welcome, Teagan! :) (I know I'm just a newbie, but the Official SSSS Forum Welcome Committee will be here shortly).
And I know what you mean. I'm 23 and I have to frequently remind myself that I'm not 20 anymore. It's weird.
I also love writing and world building! If you are like me, you must have several alternative universes in your head... Right? :P

Hi, Joe. I've seen your username on Disqus. Does it spell something backwards?
In any event, welcome. Lots to read and do here! We're all friendly, so don't hesitate to ask questions or try something out.

Hi, I discovered SSSS recently through an ad on the SMBC website, I also read other webcomics including (but not limited to) Homestuck, RomanticallyApocalyptic, SaTW, xkcd...
My hobbies are pretty common, exept maybe sewing and survivalism
I'm going to Poland this summer but I haven't been in years, so maybe this forum is a good place to practice a little

After a while of being too nervous to sign up and post here, I figured it was finally time to fix that! So howdy, I'm Shelby (or Baku if you prefer) and I come from the lovely Commonwealth of Virginia where you can drive from a big city to a field out in the middle of nowhere in approx. 5 minutes. I'm an artist and equestrian who adores videogames of all kinds (mostly RPGs and psychological horror) and baking sweets. I found SSSS through the Hiveworks website since I read a lot of other webcomics associated with them (The Black Brick Road of OZ, The Lonely Vincent Bellingham, The Glass Scientists, etc.), and all I can say is that I absolutely love the comic and everything that seems to come with it. I'm excited to stumble upon a fandom that seems so friendly, and I hope to get to know you all pretty well!
Hi there Virginian Minnion! (heheh) I'm from Virginia myself :) I can confirm we are very friendly and most of us are not trolls/beasts/giants. As far as I know. Enjoy the stay!

I speak French to an acceptable level and will be working as an English language teaching assistant in Besançon later in the year. If anyone reading this speaks French, send me a message - I need practice!
Post by: BreezeLouise on April 21, 2015, 11:58:55 AM
I speak English. American English. I tried to learn French once, it was a complete disaster. People died. Other things I'm really bad at: geography; drawing; singing; dancing; sports that aren't soccer or tennis; posting in the intro thread before anywhere else; and much, much more.
My best friend (koalalou <3) directed me here after introducing me to SSSS, for which I will always owe her. I'm usually not too big on webcomics (or normal comics), but SSSS really hits all the right notes. I love it.
Anyway, I'm not going to pretend I'm super interesting, but hopefully we'll get along just fine anyway.

Aside from science and aviation, music is easily my biggest passion. I like copy editing too, for some weird reason. Feel free to make fun of me for this whenever I make a typo.

It's not the most practical post-apocalyptic profession, though, if we're being totally honest. As for the musical, that sounds awesome, I'll totally check it out. I can't promise that I can join in, though, I'm really not very good. And I've never actually written any music before.
BTW, what happened to koalalou? We haven't seen her posting in a few weeks, and we miss her! She got the self-inserts ball rolling, among other things.
I'm honestly not completely sure. We talked for a few hours the other day, but it didn't come up. Knowing her, she's just been forgetting, though. I'll remind her to pop on next time I talk to her.
Oh, as for the copy editing thing, you can totally feel free to have me take a look at something if you're swamped or just don't want to do it. Nobody believes me when I say I enjoy doing it, but I really do.

EveryZig, I agree with DaneMurgen. Discussing SSSS in the context of zombie fiction is a fine topic; it could plausibly go in the SSSS board, but let's put it in General Discussion just because that's a bit less cluttered. (Also, GD has other book/movie/video game discussions.)

In real life I'm an aspiring author (my main creative pursuit) and I'm working on the pre-production of a graphic novel which shall be called 'Dragon Knight.' I've actually learned lot about comic production by studying established comic artists like and including Minna and I've been slowly beginning to do little practice comics alongside all the concept art that I create to work out stuff like what the look of my own comic will be. When I am not doing creative stuff I hike, backpack, camp, stare at cat videos, adore my own cats and work at a boring retail job.

Some of you may have seen me in the chat on occasion.
I have never really been into reading webcomics. I would occasionally read Precocious and Lackadaisy when I was bored, but I always lurked. When my brother introduced me to SSSS I binge read the comic in 2-4 days and then
On another note, I like trying to art with both digital and physical mediums and I'm fairly decent with Blender!

Woah, totally missed this.
My fave parts of math are combinatorics and linear algebra. What about you?
As for the games, for card games I mostly mean MTG, but I've also tried Netrunner a bit and liked it. By board games, I've actually meant all kinds of multiplayer games, such as Munchkin, Love Letters and this board game called Singidunum.

Post by: Rabbit on May 05, 2015, 04:43:06 AM
So hello, Rabbit here. *awkward Zuko wave*
I've been around since September, I'm just really bad at this foruming thing.
Finn temporarily displaced to the land of sushi and painfully polite people in an attempt to learn the language, older than Hannu but younger than Sigrun, troper and book hoarder. I have 99 problems and all of them are having way too many interests to actually devote significant time to anything. My only specialties are remembering utterly useless details about fictional works and not getting lost. I like swords and taking extreme close-up photos of vegetation. Occasionally I try to art. Mostly I just hang in the back providing snide commentary. I despair about coffee a lot.
Post by: urbicande on May 05, 2015, 01:10:54 PM

Hey, folks, can I gently encourage you to continue the conversation in General Discussion? We try to keep this channel clear for introductions (and a reasonable amount of reaction thereto).
Thanks!

I'm a guy from Hungary, Tuomi+(2×Tuomi^0) years old, currently a student. Hobbies include programming (beginner), making websites (intermediate at front-end stuff) and messing around in Blender. SSSS also got me interested in drawing and Finnish, but I haven't done anything related to those yet. Favourite school subject is Maths (also Physics, but we don't have that right now).
I found SSSS via the Language tree back in November, it was posted on a news site I read. My first reaction was "Are webcomics a thing?" Then I got curious, and read it. I got carried away immediately by the world and the characters. So, I've been a lurker for about half a year... in that time I gradually started voting, checking the forum and reguraly following some threads. Then I started making a forum theme for this place, got it finished (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=16.msg32620#msg32620), and now here I am, giving a contribution to the wonderful community of this wonderful comic. :)

Welcome, Eriaror! That's quite a debut -- offering a beautiful forum theme before even your first post!
If I remember my high-school math, you're... 17? That actually makes you one of the elder members of "SSSS Fandom: The Next Generation." The Language Tree seems to have lured in quite a few new readers -- and why am I not surprised you're interested in Finnish? ;) (My library request queue is full of Sibelius, Moomintroll books, and a post-apocalyptic novel recommended by another Forumite.)
Make yourself at home, and once again, welcome!

Kicsi szívem vígan dobog látásodnak alkalmából! Üdv a fórumon, vegyél a virtuális sütikből (óvatosan a mókus ízűekkel), és felejtsd el az "alvás" szót. Az ágyak egyébként is csak a mélyűrben élő kék meztelen csigák ördögi találmánya, direkt arra tervezve, hogy kiszívják az életerőd és ellopják az egyéniséged. ;)
Hi!
My little heart flutters merrily on the occassion of seeing you! Greetings to the forum, have some virtual cookies (beware of the chipmunk flavoured ones), and forget the word "sleeping". Beds are the invention of the blue slugs living in deep space, anyway, purposely devised to suck one's life force and steal one's identity. ;)

Well, there’s an indication of how blisteringly incompetent I can be when it comes to forums. We’re off to a good start!
Well… hello, I guess? Despite the fact that I’ve already been here for about a month and a half. I’m SectoBoss, currently slogging through the last few years of a chemistry degree in a city where it never stops raining. If you met me in real life you’d think I was cripplingly shy and a bit weird, and you’d be right on both counts. Since I can’t draw for toffee I’ve ended up writing way more SSSS fanfiction than is healthy. Some people have even said it isn’t terrible, and this makes me happier than it has any right to. All in all I must say I’m incredibly glad I found this little corner of the internet, even if my interaction with it can be a bit sparse.
I’m more of a lurker than an active member of the community, and will continue to be so until I can think of something else to say.
*scurries back into the lurker shadows, carries on writing*

Oh, c'mon -- we wouldn't let anyone else say mean things about you, so we don't like to hear you say overly self-critical things either! Many of our members either haven't posted here, or only did so because someone *ahem* nagged them to.
Really, we have something like 32,000 postings in 375 threads [jeez, I had no idea], and we don't exactly hand out checklists at the door. So it's excusable if you didn't stumble over this Intro thread till now.
Not that we aren't glad to hear from you! And as far as cripplingly shy and a bit weird, heh, join the club! :)
And *please* feel free to keep writing -- we really like it when you do! See:
I know a lot of words but I don't know how I can put them together to say how much I like [SB's latest story].And:
I loved it. So sad, a perfect touch of hopelessness, well-written and - well - I guess the end almost kind of counts as a happy one... well, not really but maybe something like a good conclusion. *applause*

Hi, I'm Abageal, and I live in the southern part of the US. I'm still teaching myself several different arts, and I've been lurking on the comic since the second half of Chapter One approximately.... I;ve also been lurking on the forum for a while, and I decided that I'm going to join and generally being a person. I'm really not all that interesting, as you can tell :) I try to do art and stuff, but I'm still learning a LOT. But I love SSSS a ton, and I'm really excited to be more a part of the community. So... Hi!
Hallo, and welcome! Glad to have you out of lurkerdom! Rule number one, never say you're not interesting, that's the biggest lie ever. Rule number two, keep learning! We'd love to see your works!
I'm not really all that official, but hey, have some cookies anyways :) Well, cookie dough - don't bake it, it has a tendency to start planning world domination and playing chess. In that order.

I mostly made an account here to share my fanart, but then people told me it would be nice to introduce myself so here I am. I'll probably continue to comment mostly on Disqus, since its format feels more cozy, but I already enjoy it here as well! I'm off to read your introductions now.

I'm Zet, 22, haven't been on any forum in years, so this is a bit awkward...
My native language is Polish, I know some German from school (enough to understand some, not enough to actually hold a conversation), now I'm learning Finnish, but I'm a total beginner so far.
I've read SSSS in one go (I tried to stop, but just...couldn't), now I'm a bit obsessed. I liked aRTD too, but I have a soft spot for well-written postapo stuff, I guess c:
I like pixel art, music, starry skies, random facts and that awful 80s music videos aesthetic. Beautiful.
I also am a wannabe animator and I kind of draw (I really, really hate the word 'artist'), here's my sketchblog (http://zetkaj.tumblr.com)! (Now, with SSSS stuff!)
(How do you end a post without it looking unfinished?)

I'm 16, and I love storytelling, whether through writing or comics. I'm hoping at some point to write some fanfiction or do fanart. or both. both is good. :)
So... yeah. (I never know what to say with things like this so I hope that was sufficient!)

I found SSSS a couple weeks ago and read it all twice in two days. I couldn´t forget the urge to draw all the characters and so I gave in and made a blog. (http://taivonpoika.tumblr.com/ (http://taivonpoika.tumblr.com/))
Some people asked me what my username means - it´s "Son of the Skies", referring to Lalli and his moon spells and starry dream world. It´s kind of old word that you might see in literature but not so much in conversation.
I would love to make a webcomic, but I work too much and don´t draw well, so I just make fanarts.

On Discus you will find me under KMKestner. I have raised wool sheep for the last 15 years. I also have chickens, a pair of geese, 2 mini horses, 4 dags and 3 kitties and 3 quail. Have owned goats in the past but they really make you work. They are Houdinis and mischief makers. My education started in Agriculture but I ended getting a degree in Graphic Design. I am a cancer survivor. Used to hate baby pink (unless it was coupled with black) but have since revised my view of it. Turns out I really look good in pink as well.That's a lot of animals O:

Hi, I´m Juha!Hellooooo!! Your username is really cool. As for "don't draw well" that's obviously a lie, but I've heard that making a webcomic is actually a really good way to improve ^_______^ hopefully you'll get the time for it some day!!

I guess I should start out with how I found this beautiful comic. My penpal from Denmark sent it to me and I started with aRTD and then ended up here at SSSS few days later. Since then I have spent all my exam studying time reading and rereading :D
I am really excited to see so many language enthusiasts here. I have made language learning into a hobby for myself and will probably be spending a lot of time over in the language forums. Right now I am working on bettering my Danish pronunciation, and I hope to start German sometime later this year.
Other random things about me: I will read (nearly) any and every book you put in front of me (I am that person you see who walks into poles because they are reading a book while walking) I am a violist (fear us), and my calculus notes are more sketches than actual math.

And it's nice to add a violist to our growing collection of musicians.
Are you familiar with Garrison Keillor's "The Young Lutheran's Guide to the Orchestra"? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sK3UialK8i4)
Here's what he says about violists:
The viola section is not a nice place for a Lutheran and you're just going to have to take my word for it. I know violists and they are fine people until, late at night, they start drinking a few bottles of cheap red wine and roasting chickens over a pit in a vacant lot and talk about going to Yucatan with a woman named Rita. Don't be a part of this crowd.
Hæ! I've been wandering around here for a few days, taking in the wonderfulness of this community. This is the first forum I've ever actually posted on, so hopefully I won't mess this up too badly :P

Hello! I'm Pyrite, and I'm fairly new to this fandom overall. I found SSSS via friend recommendation (I'm not sure if she has an account on here) and I read it all in about two days. I draw, and write a tiny bit, along with doing a great deal of reading. I may be doing more lurking/ghosting as opposed to actual posting though.Hello/Welcome! :D We'd love to see your creative outputs (if you feel like sharing them, of course) in any of our fine threads devoted to art!
Also, I like your icon! Skulls are some of my favorite things, though some people think that's creepy? Is it creepy that I have a folder full of pictures of various kinds of animal skulls? I hope not... biology is just super interesting...

Skulls are clearly one of Minna's favorite things, judging by how she depicts the Hiisi.
If we ever have a costume competition at an SSSS Meet-Up, I may need to reach out to one of you and find how I can get my hands on a moose skull (or replica thereof).

I'll start something up to show you folks, and post it up to one of them.

Thank-you! I drew it a while back. I have a folder of skeletons, and dozens of pictures of animal skulls as well. I mostly use them for reference when drawing. The majority are owl and frog skulls, I think.

I'm still in the progress of reading the comic, but so far I think it's really awesome and it's cool to see such an active fandom like this one.
I'm mostly a lurker in the majority of forums I'm "active" in, with the exceptions of two others where I post a lot. So you might not see my face around too much.
I'm the stereotypical norwegian nerd, and I like cats. Maybe that's why I like this comic?

I pretty much binge read the comic in one sitting (not that 300+ is really binge readin but that's besides the point) so I could be up to speed for my friend one here (Baku). So far I think this comic is pretty fascinating and I like learning tidbits about foreign lore, not to mention Minna's use of colour is so absolutely gorgeous it just kinda sucks you in. So I'm adding SSSS to my growing list of webcomics and hope to post more in this forum, whether it be for discussion or art purposes, thank you for having me!Hey guys, this is Fumble and we've been irl buddies for a long time!

I'm new here and binge-read the comic in two days and then reread it more slowly because it's just that awesome. The art is so gorgeous and the story intriguing and right now I think there can't possibly exist a better comic than this one. \o/
As for me, I'm a person who draws, tries to develop and write a story, studies psychology and wants to become a therapist, daydreams a lot and is pretty much agender, but you can use male pronouns. English isn't my native tongue, so should you ever wonder why I'm writing gibberish at times... that's the reason.

You do the draws and the writes, you say?? I hope we'll see you around in the museum and scriptorium threads, too >:]

I just went grocery shopping and thought about a group scene I want to paint. (It may or may not include Lalli sleeping at Emil's side and using his leg as a pillow while Emil explains with lots of enthusiastic gestures the events of the most recent and successful raid to an overly excited Tuuri.)
[However, even while we're talking, I ought to work on my Bachelor thesis, so drawing this will most surely take some time to accomplish ;;___;;]
Edit:
Omg, also: Sigrun stands behind Emil and is all nO, NO, YOU'RE TELLING IT WRONG, IT WAS ACTUALLY _THIS_ BIG, while Reynir looks at her in abject horror, mouth agape. In the background: Mikkel, cataloguing the new books, casting a *seriously* expression at the titles. :D
Great, now I really, really want to draw this instantly...
...but I won't, because Bachelor thesis, buhuhu ;___;

Omg, also: Sigrun stands behind Emil and is all nO, NO, YOU'RE TELLING IT WRONG, IT WAS ACTUALLY _THIS_ BIG, while Reynir looks at her in abject horror, mouth agape. In the background: Mikkel, cataloguing the new books, casting a *seriously* expression at the titles. :D
Great, now I really, really want to draw this instantly...

I am excited to finally join this forum after months of Curry telling me that I should. I started reading Minna's comics with the first few chapters of Redtail's Dream and immediately fell in love with the art and personalities of the main characters. Stand Still Stay Silent has been just as amazing, and I cannot wait to participate in a community of people that feel the same way. I consider myself a decent artist and cosplayer. I plan to cosplay Emil and post fan art when I have time.
I don't particularly care what gender pronouns people use with me, although I am most accustomed to female pronouns.

I’m one of those, who were lured to the comic by the gorgeous language tree and became devoted readers/fans immediately. Actually, the language tree was a big hit in Hungary; it was posted on major websites – you know, our strange little language appearing on a piece of art with two cats guarding the tiny Uralic sapling – it’s something to be proud of. Especially the cats. :)
Anyway, I just love this comic. It lifts my spirit to check the new page every morning before setting off for work. I’m interested in all kinds of cultures, traditions and history (studied cultural anthropology) and the Nordics have a special place in my heart since childhood, which is an additional reason why I fell in love with both SSSS and aRTD.
I’ve been lurking on the forum for a while now, but even though I enjoy reading all the interesting and funny threads, probably won’t become a very active member.

Welcome, Helia!
I think I know how you feel. *regards weekends as the new Mondays for some time now*
I spotted you on the fan map a while ago; I'm glad you decided to come to the forum!
Hehe. We all started with an optimistic inner chanting "I won't get addicted... I won't get addicted...". Then comes the sudden realisation, that it's already 3 am, and you're still on the chat, typing like a machine gun (trying to find one's aim with only one eye still open; hitting everything in the vicinity, except the right letters on the keyboard; blaming the cat - although, machine guns, too nice for their own good, generally don't blame cats for anything), getting a Burning Stare from abovementioned feline companion, because *she* wants to sleep, and you're making *noise*...
I hope to see more of you here. Until then, happy lurking - may the ghosts of baked squirrels protect you. ;)

(Hi, everyone! My name's ParanormalAndroid, and I live in Wales. My favourite comic is SSSS, so I decided to join the fan forum.)
Much as I like talking in Welsh, English is probably easier for everyone else.
So, hi!
I'm very new here (doubtless some of you remember my first comment a few weeks ago), but the comic's so exceptional and the community's so great that I decided to just throw myself into things.
As I'm on a tablet right now, I've not updated any profile information or anything- that'll come later, not that that's of any especial importance.
Anyway, I'll stop rambling- TL;DR is: hi, love the community, see you all soon!

I'm from Sweden, and was completely conned into reading SSSS by a coworker. He spent several days reading the comic and gushing about how darn good it was, so I of course had to find out what the excitement was about. A couple weeks later and I'm addicted, the first thing me and my coworker say to each other nowadays is "Have you read the latest page?!"
My hobbies include drawing and animation, so there might be fanart at some point. Have to fill the empty hours between updates somehow! :)

AH, okay, I was told to write here but not what to, and I was kind of awkward to do introduction, it is not like I don't want to share anything.
well, I living in Hungary (I hate that in signiture I can't write hungarian flag!)
I speak english (most used), hungrian, understands a bit swedish and german (if written, sadly keeps forgetting them since I am not using them.....) also understand less of norwegian or danish due similarities of swedish)
I would like to learn a bit of icelandic too, but probably I won't because it is difficult and probably I could not use unless I move there
my age: too mcuh, but actually my profile says it, so it won't be not bad, like next year it won1t stay the previous age, like it happened to me realizing after 2 years it wasn't changed, this probably will change
interest: I am huge hetalia fan, but most likely nordic fanatics, everything about nordics, so this comic something related to them, so yes.
I met SSSS when my friend told me about it first, but at first I was actually lazy to read (I am a really lazy person) then later I got the link again (from an other person?) and started reading it because I remembered that it was already suggested for me. and bamm, here I am xD
and I suffer from this, becuase waiting every day is killing me AAAAH, but the comic is awesome......

A lot of your comments are really insightful and/or funny, and also I saw that art. If nothing else, you're another person to exchange Nordics-jokes with. And "ugly" is *the most poorly defined and subjective term.* And also I'm nobody too; most people are. I figure, it's better than having publicity people all over the place, right? Being famous sounds really annoying.

Post by: Meghan on May 29, 2015, 02:26:16 AM
My name is Meghan and in the forum/chat/comments I go by...Meghan. Meh, I don't really care if my name is Out There. My (goofy) picture is floating around the "What Do You Look Like" thread, if you care to dig for it.
I'm a 30 year old lady living in Washington state. I originally hail from Texas, but moved up here after college (ask not why.) I got a degree in and actually work as a landscape architect. (Think architect, not gardener.) As jobs go, it's...ok. There are many worse jobs.
I don't remember where I first heard about SSSS. It was merely a bookmark for me to read later for the longest time. I did see the language tree graphic on io9, and that emphasized my desire to "read later." And then I finally DID read, and fell head over heels. I love everything about this comic!!
Hmm, what else? I'm kept rather busy with life, so I'm not crazy active in the fan-base. Apart from my job, I play violin in a community orchestra, am on the leadership team at a community garden, study languages, read a lot, and battle squirrels in my own garden. I also like to cook, but am a horrendous baker. On weekends I'm often hiking in the Cascade Mountains, and am currently trying to get back into backpacking shape. I'm into survivalism, and really need to brush up on my fire making/knot tying/shelter building/trapping skills.
I'm a great lover of all sorts of music, and I wish I had pursued music as a career, rather than believe that it wouldn't earn me a living. I play violin now, but my first instrument was the flute. I occasionally peck at the piano, and would like to eventually learn the other string instruments, and perhaps a brass. For languages, I've recently studied both Spanish and Italian, and am dipping my toe into Norwegian and Esperanto. I only speak English now, but am absolutely determined to become multilingual.
I have one cat, a big fella named Nico. He's quite handsome and he knows it. He is quite the hunter, so you might hear me screaming in the chat room when he brings home another critter. On the upside, my gag reflex for small dead mammals has just about vanished.
I suppose that's it!

I have many hobbies that I try to do on my spare time. I paint, draw, I try to do wood burning and sculpting as well. I discovered SSSS through my friend DancingRanger. Sadly, I work full time and have limited time for extra activities that don't involve food, sleep and occasional showering. I hope to become more acquainted and familiar with the SSSS forum, thank you for letting me become a part of it!Hello Kurozuki!!!! Don't worry about getting the hang of the forums, it'll come to you, and don't be afraid to ask if you're wondering about something!
All that artistry sounds really great O: I hope you'll find your way to our art threads and show your work sometime! Otherwise, welcome to the forum and the community ^______^ traditional newbie cookies are hopefully on their way~

Sadly, I work full time and have limited time for extra activities that don't involve food, sleep and occasional showering. I hope to become more acquainted and familiar with the SSSS forum, thank you for letting me become a part of it!Welcome!

Hello Kurozuki!!!! Don't worry about getting the hang of the forums, it'll come to you, and don't be afraid to ask if you're wondering about something!
All that artistry sounds really great O: I hope you'll find your way to our art threads and show your work sometime! Otherwise, welcome to the forum and the community ^______^ traditional newbie cookies are hopefully on their way~
Thank you Haiz, hopefully soon I can upload some of my artwork, although it isn't as good as all the art work I've been shown, I will proudly show my art! And newbie cookies?!?! I want a newbie cookie and now I am hungry! But thank you for accepting me!

I want a newbie cookie and now I am hungry! But thank you for accepting me!All art is good art!! Newbie cookies aren't my responsibility, so you're prooobably better of waiting for someone who knows how to make some that are actually edible. And of course we accept you ^________^
first forum pro tip: it's possible to quote more people in the same post actually! When you write a post and scroll down, you'll see the "quote" buttons are still there! That way it's possible to answer lots of people without double- or tripleposting ^^

This dude is my friend so make him feel welcome, guys! He also plays the saxophone, drums, sings and studies music at school, so he can probably make fan music as well!
I need to stop the exclamation marks before it's too late, hahaha.

Welcome, welcome! I'm sure Piney will be along with the famous squirrel cookies soon (probably faster than should be technically possible).
Fanfiction, you say? Excellent! Can't have enough of that. And don't worry, you'll pick up on how things work around here very quickly. I'm a newcomer to forums myself, but everyone's been very friendly and helpful whenever I've needed help/advice.

AH, okay, I was told to write here but not what to, and I was kind of awkward to do introduction, it is not like I don't want to share anything.
well, I living in Hungary (I hate that in signiture I can't write hungarian flag!)
I speak english (most used), hungrian, understands a bit swedish and german (if written, sadly keeps forgetting them since I am not using them.....) also understand less of norwegian or danish due similarities of swedish)
I would like to learn a bit of icelandic too, but probably I won't because it is difficult and probably I could not use unless I move there
my age: too mcuh, but actually my profile says it, so it won't be not bad, like next year it won1t stay the previous age, like it happened to me realizing after 2 years it wasn't changed, this probably will change
interest: I am huge hetalia fan, but most likely nordic fanatics, everything about nordics, so this comic something related to them, so yes.
I met SSSS when my friend told me about it first, but at first I was actually lazy to read (I am a really lazy person) then later I got the link again (from an other person?) and started reading it because I remembered that it was already suggested for me. and bamm, here I am xD
and I suffer from this, becuase waiting every day is killing me AAAAH, but the comic is awesome......
I suck at life, I am good for nothing, I am nobody and I am ugly and that is the most important about me. shortly
I hope it is not bad, if I add his here, so more about me, which I left
Someone even asked what gender I have, my nickname is male, but I own a female body, I like the name, originally if came from the finnish calendar, where I checked my nameday and it said Martti (all of my family members had female version of their name, while mine was completely different) since then I call myself Martti (I ignore the face it is male name)
Also I prefer to be not called as a female, it always disturbed to be called as girl or woman or lady or any similar, not asked to call me guy either, just a person, also, I hate english has he and she, when I speak I always say it wrong way around, this is one of the reason, why I call myself "he" (it is rare to see me write she and he messed up, but it happens)
Also as a hobby, I do many things, mostly art, but I also do cosplay, write fanfictions, make videos (amv like), almost anything, but mostly the art and cosplay that I do most of the time. (Especially art, so I hope I will be able to post more arts for the art sections) I am also kind of a photographer, or at least this is what I learnt in school, but just beginner.....
Sorry for my first comments here, I needed time to get part here a bit, I am actually very shy and closed up person at first, but sometimes, I can easily open if the people are nice around me, if I am open, shoot me off, because I can be a bit talkative and talk shit xD

Martti: you don't have to open up about your gender/body if you don't want to, but it's a brave thing you did, and I welcome you to the forum's non-binary squad ^______________^
aww, thanks,
now I am too open now ;3;

aww, thanks,phf, you don't have to call it anything if you don't feel like it. and don't worry about being too open! I have no business chastising anyone on that, to say the least........as if I know what my gender could be called I was always confused about these weird gendernames xD

I mostly lurk here but I have posted a few of my drawings.
I, as a person, am chronically apathetic. So I come across as stern. I usually affect a straight face, but not so much as what your impression of me is right now. I am also a guy. As much as it might sound different, I really enjoy interacting with people. I won't make eye-contact due to a visual disability that has afflicted me since childhood called Ocular Albinism. Ocular Albinism is basically just a deficiency of pigment in my eyes causing light (sunlight, and other bright lights) to be really hard on me visually. I also am affected by Nystagmus, which means that my eyes are perpetually lightly jittering back and forth. Despite all this I have lived a normal life, due to my parents raising me as a normal child and not really accommodating me in any way (of course they would do so with normal things like sunglasses and prescription glasses).
I must also admit that I don't like all the frivolous frolicking that a lot of people do in the comments section of the comic. Some of you might remember me speaking out on this rather foolishly a few months ago. That was a thing. All that being said, I really like the forum community and I will continue to hang around and look at things. Mostly the art threads.
Also, since I am feeling extra sassy today, I will post a fine picture of myself. It depicts my usual facial expression and disposition.

Thank you for the kind welcome. I genuinely feel special that you took my disposition into consideration. You don't need to walk on eggshells in respect to me, the frivolity of the comment section only got to me after a long while of nagging overcheerfulness.

My name is Martine, but online I go by North or Mawara/Maw. I'm 18 years old, from northern Norway and prefer she/her pronouns.
I have been on an online hiatus for 6 months while finishing the IB Diploma Programme, and I'm hoping to get into NTNU (a norwegian university) and study there, starting this fall. I play video games, draw, paint, read and study a lot. Mostly I draw dragons, monsters and girls
I would say I'm pretty outgoing and easy to talk to, even if I'm introverted and like some alone-time now and then. Make a lot of expressions when I talk and looking at pictures of me speaking is hilarious. Often mistaken for a boy pre-puberty, which is a running joke among my friends and people who know me. Really proud of being from the north for some reason, often jokes about southerners or people from the city (not in a mean way). Also I'm really tiny. 1.58 metres tiny. And really angry about it. Also angry about being left-handed because everything is accustomed to right-handers. /deep sigh And I really wanted to learn calligraphy, too...
Presenting myself this way is really hard :( Anyways, I think that's about it? Now I'm off to make a self-insert character.

Thank you! Also hello to you, as well :D I'm really proud of being from Northern Norway (for some odd reason?), and I like to joke about that I'm a blend from Senja and Finnmark (Honningsvåg), which are like... two of the most "northerner" places I know of. Too many southerners wherever I go :v (just kidding, i love those guys, too)
HELLO MAWHELLO HAIZ good to see you!!

not that he's too hard to influence when it comes to webcomics (although homestuck took a little effort but now he's more trash than i am)
Ahhh congratulations on finishing the IB! :D I'm just finishing up the last year of pre-IB myself, yayyyyyThank you so much, and good luck to you!! I'm really nervous about the results, if I don't get in I'm probably going to take another year to kick russian, maths and chem in the BUTT.

When doing calligraphy you're supposed to write letters from left to right, but I can't hold the pen in a way that allows me to do that, so I write the letters right to left... but the sentences are written left to right. It takes. So. Much. Time x__x
On the package it said "Nib exchange for left handers", but apparently I need to send them my nib and they can send me another one for left-handers and I need to pay for the shipping :c I think I'll just stick to doing letters right to left, though! My right hand refuses to even hold a pen properly...

I have NO idea about how to reply to people without quoting what they've sad. I've never been much of a forum user. Any tips? .c.Just go ahead and quote, even if it's an empty quote, I'ld say. It gives people a handy link to skip back to not just the poster but the exact post you're replying to - which is sometimes difficult to find out just from the reply text.

Nope, they're from Davao. I can see why you'd think Cebu since lots of Filipinos on the internet are from there.
Really? That's nice of you :) This will definitely be my next language project once I'm done with what I'm currently working on. What made you learn Tagalog though? If you don't mind me asking.

I actually thought that your family came from Cebu because your family did not live there for some time, seeing as you should know Bisaya and Tagalog, but don't. If this were not true, you would have probably been able to speak Bisaya and Tagalog, seeing as they'd probably have been impossible to not have known. I actually thought that most Filipino migrants were Cebuanos, so I guessed your family was from Cebu. Nothing to do with the internet except for, 'Wow, there are a surprising number of Filipinos on the internet.'
As for why I can sort of maybe speak Tagalog, I'm sixteen, so I still live with my parents, who are both from Manila. I lived in the Philippines for about a year when I was seven, so I picked a bit of Tagalog then, though I didn't speak it there, and my daily conversations full of Taglish maintained that level of fluency, which is somehow above normal Filipino migrants' children's level of fluency. I'm planning on increasing that fluency by practising whenever I can even if I'm not confident.
So yeah, that's my Filipino story.

Hi! Yes, please do so. I love reading other people's work :D Is it SSSS related or an original?
Hahhahah. Its SSSS-related but I wrote myself into a hole again so I have no idea when its happening.

I actually thought that your family came from Cebu because your family did not live there for some time, seeing as you should know Bisaya and Tagalog, but don't. If this were not true, you would have probably been able to speak Bisaya and Tagalog, seeing as they'd probably have been impossible to not have known. I actually thought that most Filipino migrants were Cebuanos, so I guessed your family was from Cebu. Nothing to do with the internet except for, 'Wow, there are a surprising number of Filipinos on the internet.'
As for why I can sort of maybe speak Tagalog, I'm sixteen, so I still live with my parents, who are both from Manila.

Ahhh I see. Most Filipino immigrants I've met are from Manila and other provinces, rarely Cebu.

Ahhh I see. Most Filipino immigrants I've met are from Manila and other provinces, rarely Cebu.It may have to do with the fact that I barely get out of the house.I figures you were/ your parents were Filipinos, but I thought I'd ask :) It's nice that you've picked up Tagalog at a young age. It should be easier for you compare to someone who is already in their 20s like myself.
I actually meant that mist migrants speak cebuano come from cebu. Just a clarification. Most migrants do spesk Tagalog though.

I'm French, freshly registered here, and decided that for once, I'd post *before* digging up ALL DA ARCHIVES. I love reading archives and stuff, so guess how happy I am when I find a new webcomic to binge-read… I found SSSS when it was around the 260-somethingth page (iirc), immediately started to read and didn't stop until I had finished. Unfortunately, this meant I went to bed around 2 or 3am -_- (but SO WORTH IT.)
Somehow I also contaminated Melusine, and apparently it was a good idea, so now it's my turn to follow her ;)
I have a husband (codename "Fifo".) He lived in Stockholm for two years around 2000, and he looooves languages, and both facts played a role in how interested I got in SSSS (I had seen the "Languages" posters long before I knew about the comics, and got all excited when I got there in my binge-reading ^^) I also like languages, but am not nearly as gifted as Fifo in actually learning them. (He's started Gaelic on Duolinguo just for fun. He's crazy. Mind you, that's why I love him, sooo…)
We have a five year old son (Codename: Perco.

Anyway, I love anything with cute fur and stuff, plus horses 'cause they're like, sooooo gorgeous. So like, I like, love SSSS, and ARtD, but like I don't usually fangirl over stuff, but like (any idea where I'm from yet? [besides my phone{but not actually, because I don't text a lot}]) SSSS is soooo awsome! (Ahem...read:California Girl!) In terms of Tuomi units, I'm "it's summer, I don't have to think." I very much enjoy Terry Pratchett, punning, and sarcasm ("It's a fine art."). As a budding English major, I cringe as I reread the "like"s and "so"s of my previous sentences. But hey: it was for sarcasm. In case you couldn't tell, parentheses are underused! Use more parentheses to sarcasify your work!

I'm Isabelle (no imagination for names, sorry); I'm French and... a bit older than the main cast. I love fiction in all its forms, but mostly written. Reading and writing occupy most of my time (thought I also enjoy cooking and dancing and generally creating things).
Less than a week ago one of my Facebook friends linked SSSS as "favourite webcomic ever" (or something like that), so I clicked, saw the first page, admired the art, bookmarked it and went to bed (it was late). Two evenings after that, I began reading and stopped half-way through the prologue, because I can be reasonable when it's time to sleep (was very proud of that). The next evening, I binge-read up to the (then) last page. Obviously, I stop being reasonable when put in front of really good fiction. I spent the following evening reading everything again while refreshing the last page. Nearly had nightmares with the dog-thing chasing Emil. Yesterday I

I've doodled in the past, but I only started properly learning how to draw a month or so ago, yeah. It's pretty addictive.
Yeah, I'm waiting for when Reynir finds out exactly what he can do with his powers and uses them for the good of the party. I feel like I'll be waiting a while.

Hey there. I'm Russet, and I'm new to the forum. I'm from Malaysia, and I speak English, Chinese and Malay (which sadly doesn't have a flag, apparently). I've been reading Minna's comics for several years, but have been avoiding the forum site up until now because registering to new sites is a bother sometimes, haha. But I stopped reading SSSS for a while last year, and recently I came back and caught up on all the new pages, and now I'm really into it and checking for new pages every day. :)
I'd like to draw some fanart, but I'm terrible at digital art and my scanner is the devil himself, so. currently, can't contribute any art, sadly.
Hi, Russet. Welcome to the Forum! You may be our first member from Malaysia.
I've posted a Malay flag request in the Improvements thread: https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=16.msg46604#msg46604 That'll help remind our hard-working Admin, Eich, to find and upload a Malaysian flag (to stand for the language, even though I know Malay is spoken in other countries too).
Meanwhile, sounds like you'll fit in just fine. But if you have questions, don't hesitate to ask Eich, me, or any of the other admins or longtime members. We do our best to make this forum a friendly and welcoming place.

Hey there. I'm Russet, and I'm new to the forum. I'm from Malaysia, and I speak English, Chinese and Malay (which sadly doesn't have a flag, apparently). I've been reading Minna's comics for several years, but have been avoiding the forum site up until now because registering to new sites is a bother sometimes, haha. But I stopped reading SSSS for a while last year, and recently I came back and caught up on all the new pages, and now I'm really into it and checking for new pages every day. :)
I'd like to draw some fanart, but I'm terrible at digital art and my scanner is the devil himself, so. currently, can't contribute any art, sadly.
Hi and welcome, Russet! I'm looking forward to when you are able to post some fanart. I take it you've seen the fanart thread (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=35.0)?
In the meantime, here are the welcome cookies Solovei was talking about: :)

I'm looking forward to it too! I'll take a look at my scanner some time soon and see if I can get it sorted out. I have seen the fanart thread, yes, and there are a lot of great artists in this fandom, which is nice!
Also, thank you to Sunflower for sending in the request, the flag would definitely be a useful addition. And oh, is that so? I see a few dots in Malaysia on the SSSS fan map though, and I could always

Welcome to the forum. Hopefully your scanner will change it's attitude sooner rather than later.
You may be our first member from Malaysia.
Nope. Potatobunny.

Welcome to the forum. Hopefully your scanner will change it's attitude sooner rather than later.Yes, hopefully it will! Maybe I could use a camera instead and just skip the entire scanning thing, but I doubt that'll be much better.
Nope. Potatobunny.
& also, wow, you guys keep pretty good track of the members here. How many users are there on this site, roughly? It's good to hear that I'm not the only Malaysian, haha.

Seven hundred and thirty one currently registered users. The number of regularly active users varies, maybe... fifty? Incidentally you are the 760th user to register. If you want the details I recommend checking out the stats section (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?action=stats).

Hi, Russet! We have several threads for art here, both fanart and general art, and also one for self-inserts :) You can still draw even if you don't have a scanner! Many people post photos of their art, taken with a camera or a phone, without there being a problem. I'm not going to force you to share your art, but don't let your scanner hold you back ;)Ah, okay. Duly noted, will get working on that right away. ;)

How is everybody?
I'm 22 and Danish. It seems there's a serious lack of Danish people here...
Alright, so I found aRTD via dA, back when it was only about halfway done, and I've been reading ever since. I never bothered with the comments section, or the forum though.
But! Recently I was persuaded into joining. I felt the need to wait till my exams were done first, and now that they are (as of yesterday), here I am!
A bit about me:
I'm a native Dane, I speak English (obviously), and I'm decent in French(one can always improve!).
I study Engineering in Biotechnology.
I love reading, drawing, painting, and writing, whenever I have the time, and conscience to procrastinate my homework (I'm very good at this).
I hope to get to know all of you soon!

Hello and welcome Lainer! (Are you the first Dane on the forum? You're one of them at least.)

Welcome, Soikia! Piney shows up periodically to shower newcomers with squirrel cookies (why squirrels? Long story). If you're a friend of reptiles, you might be quite popular in the Silent World; for all we know, lizards and other Immune-by-nature reptiles may be chic pets by Y90, now that most mammal populations have been decimated by the Rash.
(Also, are you familiar with "friend to every reptile" cartoonist Der-Shing Helmer? She authors two comics that are the only rivals to SSSS for my heart: Mare Internum (http://www.marecomic.com/) and The Meek. (http://www.meekcomic.com/))

If reptiles are chic pets by Y90, I can only imagine some elderly person walking around their house with the lizard trailing right behind. They may not be as warm as a fluffy cat, but they certainly are a great conversation starter!

I sadly don't own any snakes :( Mom forbids it since she's convinced it'll escape and attack our dog or something - but I have a bearded dragon named Laurel and am currently waiting for a Northern Blue Tongue Skink named Blep to make the two hour journey to my house!

So I'm probably not getting one :I
They tried to make them legal in Norway, but decided against it because they're uncommon and vets lack the experise. They also require different care than the usual Norwegian household pets, and therefore they're worried about people not knowing how to care for them. They have considered a "lizard license" of some sort, but they want to make sure we "take more care of the animals we already have" first. So I guess I'm going to get a ferret /shrug

I think I know SSSS because of the language tree, and it caught my attention since I really love the north (it's so beautiful here!).
I also like a lot of Icelandic more or less instrumental music.

I started reading the comic about a month ago and did some fan art, but none of my friends read the comic, so when I toted out my sketch book, everyone just gave me a confused "Yes that sure is a moose monster." So I thought I would bring it here. I left DeviantArt years ago when its ads started virusing my friends and me (If you Google coyoteslaugh, my DeviantArt page will come up under the name K. Sooliawa Evans, though I assume it's still not safe to go there without good virus protection and the art is over six years old at this point). I continue to post my art on my FaceBook page: https://www.facebook.com/kristin.ivans (https://www.facebook.com/kristin.ivans) You do not need to friend me to view my art, as it's all set to public. I only mention my art so much because I was prompted to post here by Sunflowers after I said my art was available to use for whatever people would like. Some high resolution pieces are available upon request.
I'm 31, married, and work for a non profit. I'm a storyteller and an artist. As a kid I wanted to be a comic book artist. I sometimes make my own comics (and right now am working on a comic called Firedog Chronicles) and was briefly employed in a comic startup as the colorist, but I did not enjoy doing my art on a schedule, and decided to keep it solely as a hobby. I still have a great fascination and appreciation for comics. I have the piles I amassed as a kid all carefully bagged, boarded, and labeled, and while I haven't bought an issue in years, I still collect hardcover graphic novels. I have a soft spot for wizards, so my favorites are the Dresden Files. I've pulled away from DC and Marvel (though I loved DC's Injustice and New 52 Death of the Family) as an adult because the storylines are too convoluted. I was thrilled when I stumbled onto SSSS. I love the format, the art, and the characters. I hope someday to get one of Minna's books (they need to be mass produced and sold on Amazon!). It would fit nicely between The Dresden Files and The Walking Dead on my shelf. I also hope Minna gives a tutorial of how she makes a page. It floors me she can produce five a week. Inking the picture I did of Lalli took me seven hours, and I haven't even touched the colors yet!
Anyway, hello! It's nice to meet you! I'm not sure how much I'll post outside the odd fan art, but I'm happy to be here!

Ooh, a comics artist! I draw comics as a hobby myself :)
Introductions aren't mandatory, it's just nice to say hi. Have some cookies and enjoy your stay!
(We always appreciate the occasional odd fan art around here - I never said anything, but I also loved your Lalli drawing, especially once you inked it.)

Your art's really pretty, and I was wondering how non-profits work? I've been curious for a while but I never really get a chance to ask anyone. Where do the workers' salaries come from?

I'm 31 and I live in Orlando, Florida. Otherwise known as humid hell during the summer months. I'm a professional digital artist that creates 3D models for a living. Game art, if you will. I'm one of the few Scandinavian-Americans (yes, before you ask, I am 6'4" / 1.93m :) ) in Florida, so I try to keep up cultural traditions by not only learning Danish and Swedish, but also by biking almost everywhere. I have logged over 10,000 miles on the roads by pedal power alone during my commutes to work and trail riding. Summer is miserable. I'm willing and happily able to take a one way ticket to Denmark or Sweden and get away from this ridiculous heat.

Oho, another Floridian! *high fives* :D It is really awful right now, I must say. (I'm on the west coast.) That's a very impressive amount of miles, and I saw some of your models in the forum art thread, they're gorgeous! I wasn't sure if they were a photo edit, actually :o That's so impressive!
Welcome! :D

Hello there! Florida sounds miserable during the summer. It's awesome you're keeping your traditions though :D
Hopefully you can survive the summer man, I went there once during the summer and I don't think I'll ever do that again aha

>Hello there! Florida sounds miserable during the summer.
It is! But it does have one advantage: The Floridian winter is the Nordic summer. Our temperatures rarely rise farther than 25C. It's absolutely beautiful from late October until early March. Then it starts becoming a humid swamp greenhouse again. :( I'm overworking myself by taking projects home from the office and staying up until 2 or 3 AM every night, so I leave and pedal off to work at 9:45 or so every morning lately. I have a tan on one side of my left leg that's darker than the other half from commuting north/south 30 minutes, one way. With summer being here, my cyclist tan lines are very obvious lol
>Oho, another Floridian! *high fives*
You're over in Tampa? I lived there for close to four years when I was going to art college, right off Himes and Busch Boulevard.
>That's a very impressive amount of miles, and I saw some of your models in the forum art thread, they're gorgeous! I wasn't sure if they were a photo edit, actually :o That's so impressive!
Thank you! :) I've been modeling for 15 years, but I only started professional work in late 2011. When you're in an office with people who push you to become better than you were before, it's really motivating.

I am turning 24 this month (July) and live in Southern California. I just finished my first year teaching a 6th-8th grade combination class at a charter school after graduating from a credential program last summer, and let me say this- all the stress of the school year and the late nights spent on planning curriculum or grading papers are SO worth it for this 100% relaxing summer. How I have missed summers without responsibilities, and this -ah- this is fabulous! As some of you may have seen already from my aforementioned activity that this has given me the freedom to spend a lot of time on drawing, reading, and rps in general.
I'm originally from Canada, but we moved to the States when I was 6 and am have been a naturalized US citizen since my senior year of high school. I still have the vestiges of a Canadian accent and love visiting my family up north, but am very culturally "American". My dad is of Dutch decent and I love my Oma and Opa to bits, but I wish they had passed on the language to my dad and my dad then to us (my younger siblings and I, Trinka included). I have been infatuated with languages since primary school, but unfortunately do not have the aptitude for it! I consider myself gifted in many other areas though, inheriting my mom's talent for the arts-mostly writing and visual arts- and my dad's keen mind for science and math. I whole-heartedly consider myself a nerd, but where I live and teach is sadly bereft of nerd culture. :'(

Ahhh hello there! I'm near the Southern California area as well haha
Congrats on surviving your first year of teaching! Down where I'm at, a lot of teachers don't get nearly as much credit as they deserve :-\ Those nice summer breaks must be awesome though!
My dad is also of dutch descent! He was up in the Netherlands for work while my mom raised me in Germany, but he sadly refuses to teach me any dutch seeing as it would serve no use with us being in america now.
There is very little nerd culture down here as well, there's small pockets of it here and there. The word small doesn't even begin to define it sadly, it's nearly nonexistent - or I've been looking in all the wrong places

I was born and raised in Alaska, we lived in a city for a few years, but we moved around a lot, so we lived in multiple houses. I was home schooled, but went to public school in 8th grade, when something happened and we had to move to Texas. I like to draw, and write, and is the family disappointment.

Thank you, survived is definitely the correct term! There was a lot of craziness this year, but I absolutely loved my students and teaching them in the classroom, it was everything else that was madness. Teachers also don't get the most credit in general, in the county I love in, but in my actual city everyone is super-duper appreciative for our charter school, so that's wonderful! <3
Ugh, the only "nerd culture" spot in my whole city is a collectible figurines shop, but that is it! No local gaming store, no comic shop, no gaming groups listed on any sites. T_T Although, the population of the city I live in now is only around 5,100 people.

This is a major reason (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAhuj3b-4rU) why I picked my name. I've gone by other names in the past but this is the one I prefer. It's also less susceptible to being picked out of random Google searches.

I think we all do to an extent. I've had synaesthetic sensations before but I don't think I have the condition.

Tak! Jeg er glad at være her.
>but he sadly refuses to teach me any dutch seeing as it would serve no use with us being in america now
There's always Duolingo! Also, depending on where you work, you might find Dutch to be very useful. For example, my office deals with an arm of the Royal Netherlands government. I would imagine that knowing some Dutch would be taken as a sign of respect. Of course, knowing more languages is always an asset to Americans as we often have a stigma of only knowing English.

I'm 22 and Canadian. I finished my degree in literature and am working on getting certification in editing/publishing, but that's not going to happen for quite a while. For now I'm mainly focused on playing in my local concert band. I write a lot and draw a little and actually stumbled into the art thread here before this one (whoops).
I think I found SSSS through another website that was giving a rundown of webcomics with really beautiful art, but it was last year and I don't remember where I read it. I immediately fell in love with Minna's art, and just after that with the characters, so I decided to stick around! This is the first time I've made an account for a fan forum. I'm not sure I'll be super prolific as far as posts go (I'm naturally pretty quiet), but the people here seem really nice, and I look forward to exploring the forum!

Welcome to the forum! :D The community here is really sweet and welcoming and I hope you have a good time!
Post by: Dalahästen on July 09, 2015, 06:17:25 PM
Croeso hefyd!
Another musician? Well, you've probably already seen the music threads, but I've got to ask (like I ask everyone)- what instrument(s) do you play?
And gaming's cool too, we've got a Steam group here: https://staging.steamcommunity.com/groups/ssss_fans
If you feel like talking to any of us, our IRC channel is here: http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=ssss
Seeya around!
Diolch yn fawr iawn!
I started with the bass when I was just a kid, and moved on to acoustic guitar, ocarina, flute and ukulele along the years :D And you?
I haven't seen the music threads! I'm still exploring and getting used to it all to be honest. I'd join the steam group but it has my real name and location, so perhaps I'll add people individually as I get to know them better. Thanks for the invite though :)
Welcome, Dalahästen :) Everyone is very nice and welcoming here, I'm sure you'll feel good, being "an artist" (= drawing ? Because, you play music, you're an artist, am I wrong ?) or not ^^ May I offer tea while waiting for cookies ?
True, true, I guess music does count. I have the impression I'm gonna get a cookie overdose in this community :D But who caaaares, cooookieeesss!!! ::) ::)
Welcome to the forum! :D The community here is really sweet and welcoming and I hope you have a good time!

And bass is cool, as is guitar. I play guitar and synths (anything on a MIDI keyboard, basically), myself, and I had a brief stint with the clarinet which I'm glad is over, frankly.
As for the Steam group, no worries- your choice, after all.

I usually don't share too much information online, but I am not from North America nor Asia. I guess that shortens the possibilities :DOooooh, excellent! I was worried that the fandom map (https://www.zeemaps.com/map?group=1262583) might never get a single marker pinned onto Antarctica. :P

I was redirected here from the Art Post? I'm from México. I don't remember how I stumbled upon the comic, but it wasn't through "A Redtail's Dream", more like the opposite, really.
I like drawing and writing. I love coffee and tea and just recently discovered the lovely thing that is a fresh, homemade cherry pie with vanilla ice cream on top. Where I live cherries are a wondrous and expensive thing.
I live in a desert city. I can have a mean sense of humour sometimes. Sorry in advance if it comes out. I'm a housegirlfriend, because I'm not a wife yet. I'd love to have pets, but I'm not too good at taking care of them, so I abstain. I'm starting an herb and vegetable garden, but chamomile seems not to be for me. u.u
Well, seems to me that is enough for an introduction, I believe.

I'm Silentsword, I go by that in a number of places. In my free time, I'm heavily involved in the congoing and cosplay community for Touhou and Fire Emblem in the New England/Mid-Atlantic region (if anyone here has been to the Touhou Project panels or photoshoots at Otakon/Anime Central/Katsucon/Nekocon/Anime Boston/MAGFest, I'm the little guy, as opposed to the two-meter-tall guy, who helps run these things). By day I'm an attorney, and about to take the patent exam. Aaaaand I guess that about covers it! I'm much easier to chase down on IRC, I will say that.

Welcome, Silentsword! If there's just one MAGFest, the one somewhere in Virginia, as opposed to multiple regional franchises, you might have crossed paths with some of our most esteemed members, including Starfallz, Flik, and Eich (this forum's revered founder). (There are photos of them at MAGFest last fall, somewhere in the deep historic archives here.)
And you're about to take the patent exam? Wow. I hear that's terrifyingly hard -- but patent attorneys have to know an awful lot and be comfortable with a lot of kinds of technology and intellectual property.
And in case you ever wanted *more* legal argumentation ;D, let me direct you to this discussion in the PerSSSSonas board...

Heh, I figured. I bring shame to my fellow 4-toed Swedes by having 5 on each foot. I'm only half Swedish, which would be the explanation why. ;D
I discovered ssss ages ago but didn't start reading it for some reason? I even found the indiegogo campaign while it was active but figured I could just read it online instead? And now I'm all nooooooooo~ about that, hehe. Re-discovered ssss a few days ago now I've read everything in a really short time and now there's a chapter break and my brain can't function properly because there won't be 100 new pages per day any longer? The tragedy.
Anyways. I live in Sweden, I'm Swedish/"Norwegian" (Saami/Kven), and I used to say I'm old enough to be your mother but you guys seem a bit older so maybe I'm not the oldest here for once!

I have quite a few, maybe too many, things that I want to learn and get into, such as airplane flying, scuba diving, and falconry. My native language is English, and I want to learn Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, and German. I remember a few words from the one class of Spanish I took during fourth grade.
I've read aRTD, although I don't remember how I found it. I think someone may have linked me to it. I found SSSS through an ad on a website I used to frequent. I'm a fan of Doctor Who, I've watched three seasons of Supernatural, and I watched a few episodes of the Sherlock series with Benedict Cumberbatch. I've watched the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the Hobbit trilogy, and quite a few Marvel films. I especially liked Guardians of the Galaxy. I watched Avatar: The Last Airbender, although I haven't watched Korra. I also watch MLP:FiM, although I've missed most of the last two seasons.

Yours truly is a genderfluid autistic/adhd greyaro ace polyamorous nerd, which puts me straight in the 'special snowflake' category some people tend to dislike. I do love talking, because living alone with two cats doesn't give me much opportunity to discuss with people. Cats may be lovely, but not the best people to discuss things with.
Future plans include world domination, a steady job, a goat as a pet and to cosplay as Lalli this winter.

Hello everyone, pleased to meet y'all! Name's Mika, your common Swede. Currently studying bartending, and will soon move on to baking and cooking. My interests include staring at the computer screen all day long, games, Homestuck, SSSS, Prague Race, Gunnerkrigg Court, Steven Universe, animus with strange plots and makeup. I'm a cosplayer who mainly aims to excel in makeup, and when I'm not cosplaying at conventions, I lecture about Racism and Fatfobia within the cosplay community.Welcome! :D There are a few snowflakes like yourself here, so I think you'll fit right in.

I will indeed go to NärCon! Incidentally, that's where I'll also hold my lecture. Which is in four day. Which I may or may not be completely prepared for. I'm slightly terrified and kinda screaming.

My name is Arturo, I'm an architect from Mexico. I learned of this comic by a friend that shares my love of the post-apocalypse genre in books/movies/games; although I think that the 'zombies' thing is getting clubbed to death, this is a refreshing take on the trope :D.
There's not much to say about me. I'm a but of a shut-in, but I try to go out every once in a while as to not go crazy, I have a 13 year-old beagle that no one has told him he's old :p, and I enjoy RPGs such as D&D, Deadlands (classic), World of Darkness (both old and new :) ), and Iron Kingdoms.

Hello everyone, pleased to meet y'all! Name's Mika, your common Swede. Currently studying bartending, and will soon move on to baking and cooking. My interests include staring at the computer screen all day long, games, Homestuck, SSSS, Prague Race, Gunnerkrigg Court, Steven Universe, animus with strange plots and makeup. I'm a cosplayer who mainly aims to excel in makeup, and when I'm not cosplaying at conventions, I lecture about Racism and Fatfobia within the cosplay community.
Yours truly is a genderfluid autistic/adhd greyaro ace polyamorous nerd, which puts me straight in the 'special snowflake' category some people tend to dislike. I do love talking, because living alone with two cats doesn't give me much opportunity to discuss with people. Cats may be lovely, but not the best people to discuss things with.
Future plans include world domination, a steady job, a goat as a pet and to cosplay as Lalli this winter.
Helloooo and welcome to this fandom! :)) Also, high-five to a fellow Roxy (http://40.media.tumblr.com/39fc98219b5edc066435e6f7cd885e1c/tumblr_nmr8jvfhjN1szi90bo2_1280.jpg) cosplayer (http://cvrryspice.tumblr.com/post/110533983503/wafflenut-swampcon-was-a-blast-it-was-great-to)! (although I did just decide that I was retiring that one due to not really being in the homestuck fandom any more...) ((ALSO YES HUGE COSPLAY NERD RIGHT HERE. I ALSO COSPLAY LALLI
Hi ;D.Welcome! I agree, this is a nice take on the whole 'undead' thing! :D I hope the both of you have a great time in this fandom! • w •

Haiz I love art history, as well as architectural history (I'm actually aiming to earn a Master's Degree in Architectural Restoration)NICE! I'm more of an artist than a historian, and architecture isn't exactly my strong suit, but architectural restauration sounds awesome! I've already been at the Nidarosdomen Cathedral restoration centre, and it's really cool. They're putting so much work into carving all those gargoyles. i love gargoyles

I thought I'd make use of the chapter break to join the forum.
I am currently in uni as a second year bachelor student, reading Japanese and Chinese Studies.
Despite this, I am not sure I will ever speak both languages... *sigh*
Outside of uni and SSSS, my interests are reading, writing, botany, all kinds of language related info, my pets, ancient history (from time to time), myths and different religions and philosophical theories. Alas, I don't really know a lot about any of those (there aren't enough hours in the day - and I like sleeping too much)!
I have been following Minna's work form the early pages of a RTD and was more than a bit excited when she finally started SSSS.
Well, that's it.
Pleased to make your acquaintances!

So yes, I am Mogram. I'm fourteen, I play french horn and violin (uh, fiddle) and I'm from Australia, on the east coast kinda bit. I've been reading SSSS since the dream sequence when Lalli first encountered Reynir (gosh, that feels like a long time ago!). I'm pretty much a complete newbie to the forum, though I've posted a couple things in the Art Museum.
So yeah, that's pretty much it I guess. Pleasure to meet you all! Have a nice day!

So I've already made a few posts, but never formally introduced myself. My name is Ailis, I'm 15 and from northern Idaho. My uncle got me started on SSSS last November, but I didn't start reading regularly until April, so I'm relatively new I suppose. Fun fact, I've never met another Ailis, and am torn between wanting to because its a rare name and not wanting to so I can continue to say I've never met one. My username on Disqus is different from this one, on there I'm Ailis G.

Welcome, RC. Your English is hardly "terrible" if you know the "Russian Reversal (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RussianReversal?from=Main.InSovietRussiaTropeMocksYou)" trope. :) (It takes a lot of knowledge of a culture and language to make jokes in it.)
It's always nice to meet more readers from the Slavic cultural sphere. Personally, I'm curious as to what the Known World might find by venturing east over the Finnish border, (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=511.0) rather than west and south through Denmark. But Minna has said she has many more adventures in mind for her crew, including a really long voyage of discovery, so who knows where they might go next!
I'm curious: Is the "Browning" in your signature a reference to Robert Browning (http://www.poetryfoundation.org/bio/robert-browning#about) or Elizabeth Barrett Browning? (http://www.poemhunter.com/elizabeth-barrett-browning/) I don't run into many other fans of Victorian poetry here. ;)

Hi, Sunflower. Thanks for а warm wellcome. I hope, that i can communicate here soon, using a Google Translater, MGS walktroght experience and souls of fallen teachers))).I was teasing about the Victorian poets. ;D Given the interests reflected in our Forum, I kiiiiind of suspected you meant Browning the gunsmith.
Browning? I mean that guy. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Browning) Yeah, gunsmith.
Speaking of guns, we have a whole thread about firearms: https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=222.0
And one for edged weapons (with a certain amount of overlap with other kinds): https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=441.0
Plus, the various RPG and Self-Insert threads can certainly use someone with an interest in weaponry. It's been noted that although many SSSS characters carry guns, Minna doesn't seem interested in drawing them in photo-realistic detail. Which leaves a lot of room for discussion!

I'm Everett Asimov and that is my name because I have an awesome name. Not really, it's Mike. But Everett is my middle name and Issac Asimov might have had the more influence on me than any other author. I'm 22, I live in the U.S, (the Midwest to be more particular), and I sought this fan page out after desperately trying to convert all my friends and family to Minna's amazing SSSS comic. Haven't got any bites yet, so until then I hope I can nerd out with all of you.
I'm just getting started reading webcomics. It started with Broodhollow, which I'll attach if anyone wants a peak. Great stuff I thought. Then I ran out of pages and I need more. Soon after Broodhollow partnered up with Hiveworks and now I'm reading several of theirs including Mare Internum, The Boy Who Fell, Sfeer Theory, and now SSSS. I haven't been able to get anyone to read these either so if you're a fan, please. My fanboy heart is bleeding.

Welcome, Everett! Isaac Asimov is certainly a name to conjure with.
You'll find a lot of friendly people to "nerd out" with, whatever your interests. For starters, we have a whole Webcomics thread (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=20.0). Music, anime, games (including several fan-created attempts at an SSSS-themed RPG), weaponry, food, bridge engineering, art, cosplay... it's limitless!
I'm pleased to see another Mare Internum fan. I think it's terrific -- but then, I'm hopelessly addicted to "The Meek" and I'm thrilled that the author, Der-Shing Helmer, is actually updating them *both* now.
One small item: We actually don't allow attachments due to space limits. (So we should probably change the label under in-progress messages...) Instead, we suggest you link to an online image using the "img" command (the "Mona Lisa" button at the left end of the 2nd row above).
Don't hesitate to ask for help or suggestions. We work to keep this forum a friendly, welcoming place.
Yours,
Sunflower

I found aRTD a couple months ago when I was looking through landscapes on Deviantart. Minna had a beautiful drawing of the waterway in chapter 3 of aRTD and she said it was from her webcomic. I was pretty bored, so reading a webcomic seemed like a great idea, and it was! A Redtail's Dream was absolutely wonderful, and once I finished it I started on SSSS late June. Before I started reading, I was a little skeptical because I was not a huge fan of post-apocalyptic stuff, but I read it anyways. It was definitely worth it. ;D
Mostly I like to draw, and I actually don't usually comment on anything online, so this is a rare appearance. Maybe I'll be more active here? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I've actually been stalking the forums here for about a month, and finally decided to make an account.
Also, if procrastination was an olympic sport, I'd be a multi gold medalist. I made this account last night and put off introducing myself until now. Not to mention I put off even joining the forums for a month. XD

I'm new to fan communities in general and completely new to online fan sites. I probably won't be able to craft a bumper-sticker saying "Keep Calm and Call Sigrun," but I'd be happy to keep the fan site lively however I can.

Famous last words
Hi! Welcome! I was the same way, I never made comments on any internet things, and then I made a post here (although I had an account for almost a week before my first post) and now I have many many posts here :D
Piney is right -- "famous last words."
Like Everett, I was completely new to online fan sites before SSSS. I kind of thought it was all "Twilight" and "Team Edward" and "Team Jacob" and nothing of interest to an ADULT. Oh, how very wrong I was! :o
Then Eich opened our Forum last Sept. 1, I signed up, and.... 2,500+ posts later, here I am, hopelessly devoted not just to SSSS but the Forum and all you crazy, wonderful, creative people. They'll have to pry my cold, dead hands off the keys!

Hello all! My real name is Johanna, Johannabelle is a nickname. I hail from the rainy west coast of the United States and I'm only fluent in English, for now. I attempted learning German a while ago, but it wasn't originally my idea, so it sort of faded away. Though I know tiny snippets, it's not really substantial enough to begin to understand anything.
I found aRTD a couple months ago when I was looking through landscapes on Deviantart. Minna had a beautiful drawing of the waterway in chapter 3 of aRTD and she said it was from her webcomic. I was pretty bored, so reading a webcomic seemed like a great idea, and it was! A Redtail's Dream was absolutely wonderful, and once I finished it I started on SSSS late June. Before I started reading, I was a little skeptical because I was not a huge fan of post-apocalyptic stuff, but I read it anyways. It was definitely worth it. ;D
Mostly I like to draw, and I actually don't usually comment on anything online, so this is a rare appearance. Maybe I'll be more active here? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I've actually been stalking the forums here for about a month, and finally decided to make an account.
Also, if procrastination was an olympic sport, I'd be a multi gold medalist. I made this account last night and put off introducing myself until now. Not to mention I put off even joining the forums for a month. XD
Welcome to the forum! If you're fluent in drawing and procrastination you will fit right in, I promise you that.

Post by: Cliodna on August 11, 2015, 08:13:57 PM
You may call me Cliodna. I am a 21-year old female from Estonia. I've been watching Minna on deviantART for years, but only recently gave her webcomics a try, plowed through both of them and loved every page.
My hobbies are mainly art and roleplaying, with a side of prehistory and animation. I've LARPed a bit in my life, as well as played Pathfinder and DnD, with the biggest obstacle being that until recently I lived in an area with no other roleplayers in the vicinity. I mostly do freeform or semi-freeform roleplays in Skype or roll20. I draw illustrations of my characters, as well as scenes from my stories and roleplays and dream about learning to make cartoons. As a kid I wanted to become "the one who catches the Loch Ness monster". The urge to do so has passed, but I've held an interest in dinosaurs ever since.
I've recommended SSSS to my roll20 gaming group, which includes an icelander who seemed pleased to see his country represented. I love how this comic treats finnish magic. My favorite character is Lalli and I half-jokingly ship him with Emil.
I am currently in the middle of weaving some headcanon regarding tiny surviving Estonian settlements in Saimaa and their attempts to clean Gogland. I'm considering writing it all up and publishing it somewhere on the forum, but I'm afraid that my national pride would shine through like a cornflower-colored barnswallow-patterned beacon thus clouding my judgement. :P

My name is Syrah (well not really, but in here anyway), I'm sixteen years old (for real) and was born in Germany.
I am however currently spending a gap/excgange year in Finland, and even though I've only been here for a couple of weeks I've really enjoyed my time so far.
I have only stumbled about this magnificent piece of art a while ago, but I read the available pages in two days, aRTD in one day and then both for a second time. Yes, one could call me a binge reader.
I just love everything about Minnas comics:
The art stile (probably doesn't need an explanation), the setting (friggin Fenno-Scandinavia + Iceland! Where else do you see that?), the characters (or my beloved children as I call them) as well as the story (Or stories. aRTD was awesome as well.)
Well, I hope we'll have a good time together and be able to enjoy a long time of amazing webcomics by Minna.

Anyways, hi, my name is Hans, but you can call me Rawen if you'd prefer that (a lot easier to remember, since it's part of my username :P), and I'm 20 years old. I just finished a bachelor in history, but I found out half-way through the bachelor grade that I don't really want to work with history, so I'm going to uni again next year to do biology. I'm Norwegian, born and raised in Bergen and all that.
I started reading SSSS when it first came out, as I had been reading Redtail's before that. My hobbies are... well, the main ones would be writing, drawing, reading, playing and listening to music, learning about different subjects (Biology, chemistry, history, psychology and law being my favorite topics) and playing video-games. I speak Norwegian (and understand Danish and Swedish as a result), English and German, as well as can read and understand some Icelandic.

Well, I'm done with my bachelor, but high five. I did some art history in my spare time when studying, so I have this super-huge and heavy book that spans across all of it XD I wish I could've done some modules (I studied in Wales, so that's what they called them there) on art history, but there were none :/

Hi!
I pretty much had several things I wanted to do, did History, and decided that I didn't want to work with it (either teacher or historian, and less in the way of a master than I thought there would be), so I'm going with something a bit more practical (bio-engineer), although I'll have to take some exams before that. (: But yeah, it's difficult to find out what you're going to be when you grow up, even when you're a grown up.

Wow, this place is a lot bigger than I thought 0_0 I've been thinking about going to these forums for quite a while, but never really did. Now I realize that they're quite big, feels like a daunting task to get started XD.
Anyways, hi, my name is Hans, but you can call me Rawen if you'd prefer that (a lot easier to remember, since it's part of my username :P), and I'm 20 years old. I just finished a bachelor in history, but I found out half-way through the bachelor grade that I don't really want to work with history, so I'm going to uni again next year to do biology. I'm Norwegian, born and raised in Bergen and all that.
I started reading SSSS when it first came out, as I had been reading Redtail's before that. My hobbies are... well, the main ones would be writing, drawing, reading, playing and listening to music, learning about different subjects (Biology, chemistry, history, psychology and law being my favorite topics) and playing video-games. I speak Norwegian (and understand Danish and Swedish as a result), English and German, as well as can read and understand some Icelandic.

VELKOMMEN LANDSMANN! Yes, yes excellent, the horde is growing! You'll probably see me and Haiz around a lot, as well as some others.
I've studied at the University in Bergen but I don't live there. If you like video games there's an SSSS steam group.

I'm terribly shy and tend to lurk, but I figured an introduction might be useful. Hi, I'm Yuu. Some of my interests are northern European history, epic literature, travel, and writing fanfiction (nothing for SSSS so far; but yes for aRTD). Oh, and I'm from Canada.
I first became aware of SSSS during the print campaign, but didn't actually start reading it until a couple of weeks ago, at the beginning of this August. I wanted to wait until I had the book version in my hand, because I usually prefer to read on paper. But then I just... I couldn't resist. And I'm glad I finally gave in, because I'm utterly hooked on it. Minna's storytelling skills are stellar! Also, I'm very fond of A Redtail's Dream; that comic seems almost as if it were tailor-made for me. Come into my arms, aRTD fans! Let me love you!
You all seem like lovely people, and I look forward to becoming more familiar with you.

Hi Yuu! Someone will probably be around with squirrel cookies in a bit, but let me be the first (well, second. Ninja'd by Mélusine!) to welcome you here! Between the travel, literature, and writing, I'm sure you'll find lots to talk about with us ;D And we've got a few Canadians around here, too: you can join the club! Don't worry about being a lurker or shy: I am (er, was? Still shy but slowly getting over it) too, and everyone here is really friendly and fun to talk to. So come! Check out some threads!

Thank you so much! You guys really know how to make a person feel welcome. And it's really nice to be in a fandom that is so active. (Most of mine are kind of, well, tiny.)

After glancing through the rest of the thread, it looks like a bit of beginning jitters is pretty common. At least I'm not alone!

That's the Canadian way! We're so quiet and polite about it, nobody even realizes that we've invaded until we're occupying the place.

Although I'm a big fan of SSSS, I don't know if anything will ever replace aRTD in my heart.
I'm looking forward to read your fanfiction!
aRTD certainly is something special. It appeals to me on almost every front. I could go on for ages about that, but instead I'll leave it there. As for fiction, it's in my archive (signature) or up on ao3 - it's nice that there's finally a canon category for it. Now, to fill it up! (And hopefully eventually it won't be only me in there....)

So, other information about me... Female, twenty-one years old. I'm not Swedish, but I'm (mostly) fluent now, at least according to my language documents. And I'm studying 100% in Swedish, so eek. I'm from the US. Native language is English and only English, but I started with foreign languages when I was five years old (which now makes Swedish the tenth language I pick up, but it's already at a higher level than my potato-quality German and Chinese, hah...). Can understand written and spoken Norwegian, written Danish, sometimes spoken Danish, and can't speak either. Everything that comes out of my mouth will just sound like Swedish, heh. I did dabble in Icelandic and Finnish before Swedish, in fact. Fun languages ^^ But I'm not counting those because I can't speak them for shit.
I haven't read aRTD yet but since everyone's claiming it's so excellent I think I should get going on that once I'm done with the hectic moving chaos and have all my books for this semester :P
Nice to meet you all! 8)

As for aRTD, it is very good. It's a little bit rougher than SSSS is, especially in the beginning, but that's to be expected, since it came first and was a learning experience. When I recommend it to people, I generally encourage to stick around through to the end of chapter 3 before making up one's mind about it, because that was when I really started to love it. So, hopefully when you get around to reading it, you will enjoy it. (And good luck with all that moving, by the way!)

Hello, hello! I decided my username was dumb so my display name I guess is what sticks (whoops). I live in Sweden, currently in the process of moving from one student room to another (fun way to spend the summer, eh?) and found SSSS because one of my friends asked who wanted to cosplay with her, so I asked her what it was about and she told me I had to read it because it was the best webcomic ever - and so far she's right ;D

Will check out some of the other threads later, probably!

*Listen to music*
I like it, is the Nordic council inspired by SSSS? I like it, it's not "messy" and filled with sounds just because, but it still has enough details to make you listen for all the tiny bits (totally makes sense). It's a compliment, btw :P
Also, hello, fellow newbie (:

Hello, I'm microFerret, and I am a student from the Western US. I'm older than Tuomi but younger than Lalli, and unfortunately I do not know any of the languages of the Known World. In fact, I only seem to be able to learn languages that have no native speakers, such as Latin, Pig Latin, and Lisp (an obscure programming language that is nearing its 50th birthday). I'm obsessed with electronics and electromagnetism (this is what my username is a reference to), but my skill in circuitry does not reflect this. I also am a huge nerd when it comes to astronomy, biotech, and random historical things no one else cares about. I've only known about SSSS for a little over a month, and this is my second day on the forum. I like making cheesy science jokes and puns, but most of the time they're more obscure and less funny than I think they are. I'll try to spare everyone...

I'm obsessed with electronics and electromagnetism (this is what my username is a reference to), but my skill in circuitry does not reflect this. I also am a huge nerd when it comes to astronomy, biotech, and random historical things no one else cares about. I've only known about SSSS for a little over a month, and this is my second day on the forum. I like making cheesy science jokes and puns, but most of the time they're more obscure and less funny than I think they are. I'll try to spare everyone...
...but sometimes I can't help myself.

Welcome, welcome! Squirrel cookies for you (https://goo.gl/fgPi7H)! If you ever do want to try your hand at a new language, there are plenty of people around to help, but Latin sounds really cool (I'm taking a semester of it in the fall)! I can't speak for anyone else, but I love science stuff too, and I'm always up for learning some more obscure facts! And as for cheesy science jokes, I don't think anyone will complain. I make chemistry jokes, too!

but only periodically.
Ha.

I think you'll fit in juuuuust fiiiine here, microFerret. :D Most of us are also "huge nerds" over something or other, and your enthusiasm for random historical things might prove quite valuable in the Known World. (The French have a kinder term -- for "nerds" they say "passionnés.")

Astronomy! Physics jokes! SCIENCE! *flails arms*
(I don't know that I've told a non-science joke in the last several years, given that we define "science joke" to include "an engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician ..." jokes.)
...We're all mad in here. ;)

I'm kinda new here. Like, really new. I started to read SSSS only, well, a month ago ?
I've heard about it through Disqus and, well, other Disqus commentators. And maybe also because of the webcomic "The Demon Archives", a very cool post-apo webcomic ! :D
I'm 19 for now, student, and I love webcomics, comics and books. I also like movies, and video games. I'm really fan of sci-fi. Mostly space opera. THE SPICE MUST FLOW ! Bless the Maker and His water ! Bless the coming and going of Him ! May His passage cleanse the world ! May He keep the world for His people !
No, no, I'm totally not a Dune fan... *whistle*
More seriously, I'm hoping to make great friends here ! And I wonder who's this Lars_B from comment section... mysterious Lars_B...
Oh, is this presentation okay ? I hope so... Phew...

I can't actually remember how old I am, probably closer to 30 than 20 now. My background's a bit mixed, my parents are English and Greek Cypriot, I grew up in Saudi Arabia (Dahran if anyone knows it, and if you do wasn't it cool being able to go over the bridge to Bahrain on Thursday afternoons?) I only speak English (cos I suck at languages and fail at English half the time). I'm not religious.
Bit of a geek. Less then a week away from my viva/finals/defence for a chemistry phd. Draw a bit. Write a lot. Love fantasy and mythology (especially Norse and West African). Run on caffeine. Mild tendency to refer to myself as 'it'. Almost definitely a mammal.

I was born in the Pacific Northwest in the United States, and that is still where I live today, though I did spend a few years in other locations in my country, I missed my green covered mountains. I did take four years of German in high school, but I haven't had anyone to speak it with, and so have forgotten most of the vocabulary in the 11 years since I graduated. I know a few phrases in Japanese and Mandarin, and my husband speaks Spanish (fluently, but I haven't learned yet).
Currently I stay at home to tend to my tiny boy who is almost 16 months old. My husband makes honeystix (straws filled with honey that are sometimes flavored) and will soon be writing for a major computer hardware review site.
I like to write, I love to read, and Anime is usually well received. My all time favorite video game is called Wurmonline (http://www.wurmonline.com/ (http://www.wurmonline.com/)) It's a sandbox MMO that I have played since 2007. If you ever check it out you'll find me in the Black Legion on the Chaos server with the same name you see here.

My all time favorite video game is called Wurmonline (http://www.wurmonline.com/ (http://www.wurmonline.com/)) It's a sandbox MMO that I have played since 2007. If you ever check it out you'll find me in the Black Legion on the Chaos server with the same name you see here.
Welcome :) I am looking forward to more details on your story.

I'm Italian, 17 years old. I was born in Florence, but right now I'm in Norway as an exchange student for a whole year: precisely I'm in Lofoten (yaaay, stockfish!).
I've been reading the comic since january 2014, and i fell in love with it! It gave me interest in the Nordic countries, and then I saw the opportunity to be an exchange student,
aaand then I've been sent to Lofoten, and i love it so far ;D pretty difficult to learn norwegian though :/
I did not considered to enter in the forum until recently when I started to lurk more. I like books (novels), comics, listening to music (rock mostly), and hanging out with fellows; also play football and do alpine skiing.Fav subjects: History, Geography and Literature.
Besides, the community looks awesome! ;)
reminder: Sigrun is best girl.

Wow, you're doing exchange in Norway? How cool! Good luck with the language!
Anyway, welcome from another books-and-history lover ; ) You'll fit in very well here, I'm sure.

There are many Sigrun fans here ;) Welcome to the forum! Have some squirrel cookies o// :squirrelcookie: :squirrelcookie: :squirrelcookie: We've got some Italians and some Norwegians here too, so you may find some people to talk to there, and there are language threads if you want to practice. We've got book threads and music threads as well, so I'm sure you'll find lots to do. So welcome again! Have fun here!

After months passed in the shadows without contact with the rest of the community, I finally decided to introduce myself!
I'm Andrea, a proud Italian with a great love for books and movies. I've gotta say, I didn't expect such a friendly community!
I've started reading this comic during my free time at school and I was prepared for another badly written excuse of a drama. Instead I've got one of the most original and interesting comics ever! Well, I think that's what satisfaction feels like!
That's all! And now I take you... TO THE WEATHER. (Did anyone catch the reference? No? Ok...)

Totally agree with what you say about the comic - and I have a feeling that over time, it will get even better.

Welcome, Andrea! There are already several other Italians on this forum, including Nimphy, Kainaikelio and Lucy C.
You have an intriguing forum icon -- what is it from?
...also, is there a reason you quote the "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here" part of Dante's Inferno?... :o

Yes, I got the reference ;). Welcome to the forum! Have some squirrel cookies: :squirrelcookie: :squirrelcookie: :squirrelcookie: We've gotten a big influx of Italians lately (aka the exact opposite of a problem). And yes, this is a really friendly community, and it only gets more so once you start interacting with them. Of course we've got plenty of places were you can discuss the comic. So come out of those shadows, and enjoy this forum!

Oh, and I quoted Dante because I absolutely love that part. I don't know why, maybe I'm just creepy. Yup, that's probably it.

I know English and am studying Ancient Greek. I like being indoors, pink, and drawing stuff. Other pastimes are playing with fire, lying on the floor, crying, and drawing stupid comics and cute children. I will talk you to death.
Emil is the best character, admit this or taste my wrath. I've been following SSSS since about the second half of the prologue... I'd found it before then, but aRTD didn't catch my fancy so I didn't put SSSS at the top of my reading list. Now I am a rabid fan and check it religiously every morning.
Rock on, and I'll see you all around!

Hello, y'all! After many months of not being (vocally) active in the SSSS community, I figured I should re-introduce myself as a newbie again. I'm Chloe or Miss Honeyham, and I'm from the USA. No particular area (I'm the same age as Lalli and have lived in at least 7 states) although at the moment I live in Florida.

Hi! I suppose this is where I should introduce myself. I've been on the chat for some time now, and have been lurking for even longer still (since mid-Chpt. 7), and I've finally (finally!) decided to make myself a forum account.
So greetings. I go by "Potato" usually, but apparently that username was already taken. So "Supreme Potato" it is. 8)
I can read Korean (but can't type in Korean) and English with some level of fluency, as well as Simplified Chinese at a meh-ish level. So if you speak Mandarin Chinese, feel free to message me in that language! I can definitely use some practice typing in Chinese. I also keep telling myself that one of these days, I should learn Polish and Swedish. Neither of those actually happened.
As you probably guessed from my languages, I am South Korean by birth and heritage. But I've lived overseas for nearly a decade now, moving from city to city, which is why my primary language is actually English.
I'm up to date in both Stand Still, Stay Silent and A RedTail's Dream (which I read during the SSSS Chapter Break), and my favourite characters so far are... probably... Paju (even though Paju gets very little screen time in aRTD) and Reynir.
Anyways, nice to meet you all!

Yes! On Sept. 1, 2014, Forum-Thor Eich (all hail) created our Forum and led us across the Rainbow Bridge, like Wotan leading the Norse Gods to their splendid new home. And we didn't even have to cheat any giants, dwarfs, or Rhine-Maidens to gain it!
For the next 20-odd hours we'll be celebrating around the globe and all over the internet. Check the Fan-Forum First Anniversary Thread (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=602.0) for more details...

Hiya Ace, welcome to the forum! There's a sizable shipping division on this forum and I'm sure they'll appreciate your fanfics. I'm pretty sure Mikkel x Sigrun has a sizable following too.
Really? I was looking for the shipping part, but I can't seem to find it. Could you by any chance enlighten me as to where I might find some threads of that category?

Ah, well, I think Captain Solo (solovei) is more or less some kind of shipping magnate for the community. I'm not involved myself actually - but I believe a lot of it happens on the community's AO3 site (http://archiveofourown.org/tags/Stand%20Still%20Stay%20Silent/works). I know there are shipping threads but maybe they're currently inactive.

As Fim said, Solovei.
Captain Solo! You name it, Sol will ship it!

Reading SSSS has given me a better understanding of these 5 nordic languages. It made me want to learn Finnish but after I saw how complex it is, I think I'll just uhm admire it from afar. I want to learn how to place these little flags into my signature. I'm sorta fluent in English & German and another minor language. Lalli is like my top favorite character. I can relate to him a lot. Like a lot of you I got confused with the genders at the beginning. Hehe that was weird. Good thing there is the character link which enlightened me extensively. So yeah that's it for now and please don't kick me out. I'll just be a little kitten meowing quietly in the corner.

I'm sorta fluent in English & German and another minor language.May I ask which other language? There are lots of speakers of "minor" languages here, so it's entirely possible that somebody else here might also speak that language. And if not, it'd still be pretty cool.

I'm Morgan, I'm 18, and American!
I literally cannot chose a favorite character, bc I love all the cast (which is rare.) They are all my children.
Other than the obvious interest in SSSS, I play video games and write fanfiction mostly.
I'm really glad to be a part of this fandom, even though I've only been a fan for a week. You guys seem to me to be a great group, better than other fandoms I've been in in the past.
So HI! :D

Oh yes, I realize, but it was the least hefty username I had. It was also the most fandom-neutral. We'll find a shorter name for me.

Oh thank you! I shall try out the fancy code with the flags now. I hope it works. *checks tabs* *clickety-clack*
Other languages: Tagalog & Cebuano/Visayan (the latter although being the major lingua franca in the Philippines, which on a side note is not taught formally in schools and universities, is curiously not the national language). Ah languages! Always a fun topic to talk about. I teach German part-time in a small language institute and am trying to learn French on the side. We also had a bit of Spanish in school before. A lot of spanish loanwords can be found in Cebuano, due to the spanish colonization from 1521–1898. Linguistics, art & felines have always been interesting to me. Which is why I like SSSS so much. It fuses several favorites of mine into one splendid artwork. Minna's work has so much style and class that I'm surprised that SSSS is not the #1 webcomic out there!

Yep, Filipina here. :D Yay! Who would've known? Akala ko, I'd see mainly european fans in here. *grins from ear to ear*
Wala namang masyadong marami Pinoy dito. Even I'm only pure blooded Filipino (I live in new Zealand). Hindi ako masyadong magaling sa tagalog, hahaha. I probably made some mistakes there, though. There's another Filipina living somewhere in the Middle East (Kizzy), but she apparently can't speak Tagalog.
Apart from us, though, most people here are European or American, according to the The Reader Map. (https://www.zeemaps.com/map?group=1262583)

Hi! o/
I'm silverceleb, nice to meet you all! I'm a total newbie and oh so excited about SSSS. I accidentally stumbled into it last week and I plan on sticking with it from now on. I'm here to read cool headcanons about everything and maybe cry a little about the perfection that is this webcomic.
My other interests include sleeping, role playing, visual arts, fantasy and science fiction, nature, scouting, fanfiction, socializing, comics, writing poetry, stupidly hilarious jokes, adventures, campfire, any kind of music, cosplay, avoiding adult responsibilities, blueberry pie, and embarrassingly intense fandom surfing. When I was five, my first love was The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy radio broadcasts but later when I started to read myself I found Tolkien's works to be even more dear for me.
Mostly I like to communicate using Finnish, English or nonverbal sounds, but I used to study also some Swedish and French. This year I'll be starting Chinese lessons but umm I don't think I'll be learning very fast. Languages are hard for me. :C
IRL me is a 22 years old landscape architecture student from HAMK university of applied sciences. I live at Lepaa, Finland - a place most people will never hear and are perfectly happy that way. I have a messed up sleep cycle and two

Hello everyone.
I'm Steinunn
I'm slightly over 20, and I've been reading SSSS since some months before the book drive.
Probably my favourite character is Emil('s flawless hair), or Sigrun. Or Lalli. Or the new/baby cat, because it's cute.
But honestly, I love everyone. All the characters. Even the gross dogs.
Hmm... what else?
Should probably say I'm Icelandic, I speak English with almost native fluency (and a slight Scottish accent), very bad Danish (the potato sentiment is the absolute truth), and decent baby-level Japanese.
Currently studying entry-level seamstressing, and my hobbies include knitting, knitting, sewing cosplay, and knitting.
Other favourite things include the Japanese story band Sound Horizon, Ankama's works (Wakfu/Dofus/the Krosmoz), Tolkien's works (started the epic journey with Farmer Giles of Ham), Guilty Gear, and ElfQuest. Off the top of my head.
This feels like rambling, so I'll stop now.
Thank you everyone, and I look forward to spending time here in the community.

Hæææææææææ! It's so exciting to have an Icelander here! I believe you are the one Laufey mentioned, and I promised I wouldn't be too scary, but yes we are so glad to have you here and I really hope you'll stick around because we seriously could use some more representation in the Icelandic area. Also if she told you I took her scissors, don't listen, it wasn't me. I swear.

Other favourite things include the Japanese story band Sound Horizon, Ankama's works (Wakfu/Dofus/the Krosmoz), Tolkien's works (started the epic journey with Farmer Giles of Ham), Guilty Gear, and ElfQuest. Off the top of my head.
This feels like rambling, so I'll stop now.
Thank you everyone, and I look forward to spending time here in the community.
Welcome to the forum, it doesn't come as a surprise that Laufey got you involved in this. The interest in knitting and knitting is a dead giveaway. ElfQuest is love.

Yayyyyy welcoooome (I might as well confess being the friend who's been bugging this one to join the forum for a while now)! :DI'm happy you did, everyone seems very nice here!
Welcome among us Steinunn :) *Holds out a plate of cookies* :squirrelcookie:Ahh, thank you for the cookies. And yup, she linked me to her pattern of Reynir's sweater, which I will make once I find a fitting substitute yarn that doesn't sting my shoulders,
Oh, you're from Iceland and you love knitting, sewing and cosplay ? You should meet Laufey !Edit : or not, you already know Laufey : there were a lot of clues, I should have guessed.
(Knitting is a very good hobby, I'm going back to knit as soon as I'll find the correct knitting stitch for my new project.)
Hello hello! It's nice to have you here, we're glad to have you! I look forward to getting to know you - any friend of dear Laufey is sure to be an awesome person. : DThank you so much~. I'm sure it'll be a very nice fit.
Sounds like you share a lot of interests with people here (including myself. Knitting yessssss ahh wonderful!) so I expect you'll fit right in!
Hooray for knitting!
Hæ!!!
Hæææææææææ! It's so exciting to have an Icelander here! I believe you are the one Laufey mentioned, and I promised I wouldn't be too scary, but yes we are so glad to have you here and I really hope you'll stick around because we seriously could use some more representation in the Icelandic area. Also if she told you I took her scissors, don't listen, it wasn't me. I swear.
Hahah she said it would be a bit of a novelty, an Icelander on the forums, and I will definitely stick around.
Welcome! More cookies for you o// :squirrelcookie: :squirrelcookie: :squirrelcookie: I do believe you're our first native Icelander here, though don't quote me I could be wrong ;). I'm sure Laufey's already told you about our wonderful array of threads, but check out the cosplay threads and maybe the language ones, too, they seem like they'd be right up your alley! But most of all, welcome and have fun! Glad to have you join the forum ;DYAY! More cookies! Thank you.
I will definitely check those out, yes!

I'm the same age as Lalli, and I live on the east coast of America. I speak English, and I'm attempting to learn Irish, Scottish Gaelic, and Arabic. I enjoy reading, writing, drawing, archery, Marvel, BBC America, and ... I'm going to stop there or else we'll be here all day.

I use a hungarian horsebow I bought at a viking market! I'm in a local archery club that focuses on historical bows, so we attend a lot of viking markets and similar arrangements, to have an archery stand where we instruct people! I have no clue about modern archery, though.
That sounds hardcore. History and archery? I want to join! And I've never even heard of a viking market, but that sounds awesome, too.
I use the plain jane modern compound bow. I actually don't have one at the moment (I just moved across the country and had to leave my old one, cue the weeping and gnashing of teeth) but I'm looking into getting a new one.
Post by: Nevermore on September 11, 2015, 12:05:57 PM
Miss Honeyham: NOOOO that must have been horrible leaving your bow behind! I hope you get a new one soon! I've never shot compound but it looked fun.
Post by: Miss Honeyham on September 11, 2015, 12:11:46 PM
Haiz: I'm with Miss Honeyham, history and archery sounds amazing (as does that horsebow)! And a viking market? I would LOVE to have something like that where I live.
Miss Honeyham: NOOOO that must have been horrible leaving your bow behind! I hope you get a new one soon! I've never shot compound but it looked fun.
It was pretty awful! Especially since I was the only person in my friend group who used one, so I ended up just leaving it behind, unwanted and unloved. And I used to shoot recurve when I was very small, but I'm a total weakling so when I restarted I decided to use one designed for weaklings. I love it. Ha.
(PS, should we be moving this conversation somewhere else? Like, is it ok for us to talk about archery and vikings here?? IDK???)

Manufacturing of steel, aluminum and cast iron. Moulding of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Hot stove like dwarfs, you know, metallurgy)
Unfortunately, I work in the other direction and hot oven very far from me.

So, metallurgy for work, not a hobby :)
Metallurgy was directed training at the university. We have free higher education, and you can choose what you are interested. Work really go to where they pay more.
I would like to engage in metallurgy - it's very interesting, but the conditions are not quite allow it.
But recently he traveled to another country. The total journey took 5100 km.

Hi, Slider. Unfortunately, our Forum software can't display your picture. (It may be because of the Cyrillic characters in the address, or merely that it can't recognize the host.)
Do you have another host you can upload the picture to? Otherwise, I suggest imgur.com, which can give photos links perfectly suited for BBCode (what this Forum uses).
Also, what inspired your Forum nickname?
EDIT: Slider, I moved the next 6-8 posts, with your photos and reactions to them, to the Pictures thread, starting here: https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=215.msg66266#msg66266
You are already developing fans of your photography, so we hope you'll share more pictures in that thread. :)

Hi, I'm Cerberyusu, "Ryusu" in short, or "Cerb" or "Erb", I don't know, just play around with it. Cerberyusu is my penname and the name I mostly use around the internet.
I was a lurker because I actually enjoy reading comments and threads more than making an input of my own. I'm shy-ish.
I'm an amateur artist myself, studied conceptual art and 3D-modeling for videogame-characters. Otherwise I'm self-taught pretty much. In other words, Internet taught me everything.
I believe quite genuinely it's Minna's artwork got me into the things I do now. Arts and stuff. I discovered her work around 2006 I think, and I've been a silent admirer since. Now I'm a forumite. What an upgrade!
By the way, great job with the forum. :3 It's clear in design and the threads are great!

Welcome, Cerberyusu! (I'm afraid I kept spelling your handle "Cerberus" because I'm a mythology geek. ::))
Thanks for the kind words about the forum. Much of the credit goes to its creator and head admin, Eich. He laid it out and set its ground rules of courtesy and respect.
Eriaror had a major role in its look-and-feel update (as well as a lot of the nifty new features), and admins/moderators Kjeks and Hushpiper do a ton behind the scenes to keep the Forum working smoothly, both technically and policy-wise. Feartheviolas and I mostly focus on content moderation, and in the short time Viola's been a moderator she's already done a ton of great things, like cataloging all the Forum fan-art.
The actual thread content is due to the incredible talents, range of interests, and expressiveness of our members -- and I'm glad you're now one of their number! Have fun on the Forum!

Hi! My handle is shoop, but you can also call me jessie. I'm hoping to become an illustrator/graphic designer but unfortunately I'm still in the process of switching over majors, so I will probably be 'that person who dumps art/fic and runs b/c they have three papers due'. What else...I really love english lit/history/music, and I'm so used to large fandoms sparking wars that I am still gingerly navigating the forum. Y'all are lovely, I just am not used to so many nice people in one place on the internet, haha.

Hello and welcome! :｡･:*:･ﾟ'☆ It's nice to have a formal introduction. Definitely will look forward to your art dumps. :D A lot of people here share your interests, so I bet you'll fit in great!

A few helpful people pointed me to the introduction thread back when I first posted on the art museum, but I completely forgot to until just now! whoops. I hope it's not too late??

The name's Aki, you might know me from the comment section on SSSS. SSSS happened upon me because I followed (a) Rabbit's advice (well, it sounded more like "YOU MUST READ THIS JUST DO IT") and ended up binge-reading SSSS (somewhere into chapter 4 I think) and aRTD. Never regretted going down that rabbit hole...
I'm 24, Swiss, and I study classical archaeology in my major and chemistry in my minor. I write fanfiction and sometimes doodle fanart but don't expect quality from me and I haven't completed anything worthwhile for SSSS but probably will churn out something in the future (or Rabbit will eat me).
I'm terrible at using forums but I'll give this one a try.
Any other Swiss people around?
I'm a Skype dweller and will love you to death if you decide that you want to chat with me over there. Just ask me for my Skype name.

Rabbit's advice was good, yeah?
I don't know if we have any other Swiss members, but if you head over to our Quakenet IRC chat at #ssss, people will certainly be up for Skype.
We're all stuck in the rabbit hole now, but it's a really nice hole and none of us want to leave- you probably get it.

Hello and welcome!
"Binge-reading SSSS" seems to be a pretty common reaction. Now you're stuck waiting on daily updates like the rest of us. : D
Ahhh you write fanfiction? I hope that if you write some SSSS, you'll decide to share; I'd look forward to reading it. Also classical archaeology, wow, fascinating *_*
Anyway, I hope you will enjoy it here!

I did infect 3 Swiss people with SSSS syndrome, another one of my friend was already infected but they're all not inclined on commenting or forum-ing :(

Haha, yes, I got stuck for waiting for daily updates somewhere during chapter 4 I think... oh well, it makes getting up even more worthwhile, especially since I usually check the page at Uni with one of my infected friends. No, what do you mean, squealing in the middle of a crowded classroom is strange?
I started on 1 SSSS fic already, another one is in planning. Will share it once I can, which might some time forever in the future.
Yes it is *w*

A bit sad that Norway came through so badly, but happy it came through at all. Also, amateur writer, and I (just yesterday) started an SSSS quest over on Sufficient Velocity: https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/stand-still-stay-silent.22848/
For those not familiar with the concept, basically you'd be taking the reins of one of the countries (looking like Finland, so far), in year 0, and trying to get through events with less damage than canon. Practically nobody there is familiar with what they're up against, though. It'll be fun~

Can I first say I LOVE SSSS SO MUCH found about it like three days ago and is so beautiful that my tears are heart eyes emojis :)
My name is Milenka but online I'm Faramile I'm 22 and I live in Buenos Aires (Argentina)
my studies: went to a Argentinian-Arabic high school learned to write and speak just a bit then forgot all of it. I was super bad learning English though, until I started reading manga (mangas take a lot of time to be traduced so I started reading in english) I got better at it and now I'm okay but speak it in a very basic manner(? sorry about that. Later tried graphic design because I like to use photoshop and drawing even though I only draw probably 5% of the time (and spend 40% reading fanfic) and changed to graphic production which I like more (it's about the step after designing a piece)
I think speaking or understanding other languages is like unlocking a part of the world IT'S MAGIC you guys are amazing I saw that some know like three Languages that's so cool 8)
I want to learn maybe just a bit of Japanese, Italian, and Norwegian(now) I was told that china is gonna "take over the world" in five years but still I don't want to learn it hahaha

what i (& many others!!) especially like about ssss is how it opens a door for discussing & reveling in the glorryy of language & culture by shoving a motley crew of baby war-goers out into the dead dead danger zone i love that so much. also there's lalli
a redtail's dream is equally enjoyable to me. hannu makes me cry
also much appreciation for the artistry & creativity im seeing throughout the forum that is something i do like.

OK, Lalli and physics, here we go.
Lalli, who weighs 70 kg, falls from a 3m-high window. How much force does he exert on Mikkel when he lands?
Post by: scheherazade on October 12, 2015, 03:06:22 AM
aaa i love this thank u for this LOL
well since weight is the force of gravity acting on an object it is already measured in newtons
but we could say lalli has a mass of 70kg & is accelerating under gravity @ -9.8m/s2
the force of an object is the product of its mass & acceleration so 70kg multiplied by -9.8m/s2 comes out to 686 kg x m/s2 or just 686 N of force
have fun mikkel
funny how this is relevant to the work i should be doing but also not someone teach me how to not be so easily distracted now

funny how this is relevant to the work i should be doing but also not someone teach me how to not be so easily distracted now
686 N is Lalli's weight, but it's not the force he will exert on Mikkel since he will decelerate much faster than this. His velocity after a 3 m fall is sqrt(2*g*z0) = 7.67 m/s. Now, we don't know the deceleration, but let's assume the fall is damped by Mikkel over a distance of 0.60 m. At Lalli's speed, this is done in 0.078 s. So the acceleration is a=98.1 m/s.
Finally, the force is m*(a+g) = 7554 N. It hurts and shows that Mikkel can't actually catch Lalli but just slow down his fall.

Hi! Welcome! Have some cookies!
OK, Lalli and physics, here we go.
Lalli, who weighs 70 kg, falls from a 3m-high window. How much force does he exert on Mikkel when he lands?I'm like 90% sure this has been done already, but shhhhhh
Ok, this is all well and good (physics, yay!) but I think 70kg is way too much for Lalli. My brother has pretty much the same body type as Lalli (and is probably around the same height too) and he weight only about 50kg. So using the same method as Troposphere did, I get the force as 5395N. It would still hurt, and Mikkel probably still wouldn't be able to catch Lalli so much as break his fall. So I guess this bit was pointless, but I wanted in on the physics :))
Also, hi scheherazade! Another squirrel cookie just for good measure :squirrelcookie: And if you like that image, we have a whole reaction image hoard (https://ssssforum.com/thingies/reactionimages.php) that you can look through. There's an image in there for practically any situation, and more are always coming ^-^

Yes that was my physics home work from last year! Here is the thread. (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=442.msg35327#msg35327) Maybe now that school is happening again it's time to resurrect it.

heelloo ssss forum aka the thing has successfully kept me from studying for my upcoming tests by making my brain feel all fidgety like it couldn't move on to any other task until i posted an introduction on here for some reason what is life
well w/e ima do the thing where i talk about how much i lov ssss & webcomics in general because they keep me sane while im trying to get through school but ironically also makes it super difficult to focus at times like right now!
what i (& many others!!) especially like about ssss is how it opens a door for discussing & reveling in the glorryy of language & culture by shoving a motley crew of baby war-goers out into the dead dead danger zone i love that so much. also there's lalli
a redtail's dream is equally enjoyable to me. hannu makes me cry
also much appreciation for the artistry & creativity im seeing throughout the forum that is something i do like.
that dragged on longer than i thought it would
tl;dr someone talk lalli & physics to mewheeeeeeee
Once you are fully assimilated into the forum, school will not matter anymore. Welcome to the forum! I hope you have an awesome time going through the nigh-infinite amounts of fanfics, fanart, and stuff here and probably contribute some of your own work! :D

Hello everyone! I am excited to be joining the fan forum at last! My name is Christina and I am from Washington state. I am a college student and a year younger than Lalli and Emil. I've been reading SSSS since the middle of August this year, but I only just recently started exploring the forum. I also finally read aRTD and it is fantastic!! Though I'm sure I probably don't need to tell you that. I like to think that I'm an artist, so sometimes I draw SSSS fanart, but I won't have too much time to do so very frequently. And finally, though I have lived my whole life in Washington, I have always dreamed of learning Swedish and traveling to Sweden, because that is where my family is from. (Part of the reason I enjoy SSSS so much is because it reminds me of my Scandinavian roots). Pleased to meet you all!!!!

I have merely dabbled in the language, and am much more proficient with Tengwar than I am with the vocabulary or grammar, to my deep regret.
I've got a little Sindarin, but not enough grammar to make actual sentences -- mostly vocabulary scraps.

As for how great the community is (really great), our IRC channel is part of Quakenet, at #ssss- why not drop by and chat sometime?
Also, given that you're an engineer this thread (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=413.0) may interest you.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me, any other member of staff, or frankly any well-established member- most of them know more than I do.

Hello! I do believe (not including myself) you are the third South African who's identified themselves in this fandom. Perhaps the second (again not including myself) that's actually made an account here.
I'm a bit of an oddity myself, born in South Africa but been all over since. I do go back every few years, though - still got quite a few members of my family over there, too. Coincidentally, one of them is also in his last year of engineering, haha. I think at Potch'.
As Luth said, there are many interesting things to start out with. Depends what you like. I'll leave the masterlist of art threads (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=429.msg67232#msg67232) here, though - might be a nice place to start. There are some pretty cool theory threads on the SSSS Board, lots of interesting language threads on the Language Board if you're at all interested in that, and the General Discussion Board has all sorts. Search around and you'll probably find something you're interested in ;)

I got out of university with a physics degree, but then became professional science camp staff, who then works backstage at the local theater on breaks. (Life is weeeiird!)
I found SSSS sometime in Chapter 5 after following a link from What It Takes (http://warofwinds.com/what-it-takes/)(NSFW) and then later realized it was the second time I found Minna's work. She made some tutorials for DA back when she was ShadowUmbre on there, and those helped me take my first steps into making actually decent backgrounds!

Wow... I actually had new information?
Though I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. The name difference meant it took me nearly a year to figure out that my favorite tutorials and one of my favorite webcomics (the one with the best art!) were from the same person XD
And that's wild! I'm not technically SF Bay Area, but I'm only a few hours from said city, so I could definitely make a meetup in that area! ^^

Hey, I am jmf. I am a 20 years old guy, living in the middle of germanyPlenty of new members, so croeso (:wales:) to everyone who's just joined! As usual, I'll direct you all to our IRC channel- #ssss (https://webchat.quakenet.org/).
Auður, I'm very jealous of you getting to live in Iceland- I love Iceland.
Shaeira, don't worry too much about languages- I'm only *fluent* in English, I'm learning Welsh and Spanish. If you want to learn more languages, we've got a load of threads relating to language learning- take a look at the languages board.
Shaula, love the news that Minna once had an angsty DeviantArt profile, that's brilliant.
Jmf, I've already seen you in the chat so I'll probably see you again at some point.
Post by: Smirty on October 20, 2015, 07:09:27 PM
You all seem to be language enthusiasts! Yessss. My first language is French (I was born in Belgium... Why, no Belgium flag for the forum? :'( ) and moved to the United States (West Coast) in 2008. I enjoy learning new vocabulary in English still but I would also like to continue learning German. I took Latin in high school, that helps. (I looove looking up the etymology of words.) Anyway, feel free to harass me in German. Oh and I'm supposed to speak Dutch, which I have learned for twelve years in school, but I can't. Vicious teachers took that away from me! Though if you feel like writing to me in Dutch, please indulge. That would be good practice for me.
I see that you are all lovers of the arts (well, of course you are, Minna brought you here!). I am myself an illustrator and a part-time art lecturer. I also write and illustrate my own web comic, which I launched back in July this year. If you are curious, here it is: http://ap.smirtouille.com/Webcomic/index.php
That goes without mentioning that ever since I read SSSS, the idea of expressing myself in comic form has been stuck in my head. (Was that before 2013? Can that be possible?) It took me a long time to become competent enough to consider it a viable option. So the fact I begun this venture is a big deal to me. And I admire Minna for the work she has accomplished and continues to produce with passion and consistency everyday.
I'll leave a music here as a token of my gratitude to everyone who contributes to this peaceful lair. :-*

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 :)
Welcome! It's viola from the chat *waves* Piney should be along shortly with some welcome cookies. I hope you like it here! The people are indeed unrecorded levels of super nice. I can attest to that. I was also one who didn't get involved in fandom and here I am chin deep in this one. I couldn't have made a better choice.

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...)

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.

Really, what's the deal with this fandom and squirrel cookies?
*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.
I think it was P___ who first posted the cookies, and I followed suit and it apparently turned into my thing.[example of Piney's squirrel-cookies art:]
But yeah, it's certainly a joke (for lack of a better word) that's exclusive to this community.

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.

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.

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 (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=589.0). You will find other people's sites there as well.
Edit: where are my manners today... Welcome to the board XD

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 (https://webchat.quakenet.org/) (I recommend an IRC client such as Hexchat (https://hexchat.github.io/)).

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!

Few quick things, I guess, to ~get to know me~ and whatnot: I'm a total geeky nerd about a lot of various TV shows/books/movies/video games, and can talk for ages about such topics. I'm already certain that SSSS is going to become one of the stories that I totally fall head-over-heels for, heh ^^; Aside from inhaling the creations of other talented folks, I love to make my own characters and either write stories with them or else weave a tale through roleplaying, generally with my brother; we've got an ongoing fantasy story that we've been doing since we were little kids, and it's slowly grown from childish plots and cliches (stepping stones!) into an intricate world with lots of history and well-rounded characters and storylines.
I also love to cook; I'm vegan and, not to sound like I'm bragging or anything, I'm rather talented at making various recipes, be they from a cookbook or creations from my own head. If anyone ever wants to talk about veganism (whether or not you yourself is vegan), shoot me a PM; I'm always happy to talk, and I promise I don't bite or try to force my views down anybody's throat! c:
Uhh, yes. Speed round! I love my floofy rose-patterned comforter, my fandom t-shirts, playing games of all sorts with my family, wearing boots in the autumn, drawing my characters, the colors pink and cream and blue and red and brown, 1940s fashion, and of course, petting my kitties and bunnies c:
Apparently I also like talking too much, lol. If anyone ever wants to chatter shoot me a PM. In the meantime, I look forward to getting to know some folks around here! ^u^

We've got a TV/movie thread, a video game thread, a book thread, and plenty of others besides, if you want to talk about your favorites or have some good ones to recommend (I know I'm always on the lookout for a good book/movie). And there are plenty of creative threads for you to sink your teeth into. The art threads, of course, the scriptorium (if you'd like some fanfiction), the NaNoWriMo thread, the list goes on! And might I add that there's a recipe-sharing thread somewhere around here, if you'd like to share your creations? I could keep naming all of the things you can do here, buuuut I think it'd be best if you just explore and find things that you like! From the sound of it, you'll be making fandom friends in no time ;D

Hi everyone, new person here! I'm a 23-year-old university student and part-time translator from Finland. I discovered SSSS a month or two ago when I saw a short review of the comic on Tumblr. It made me curious because the art looked beautiful, it was set in Northern Europe unlike most post-apocalyptic stories, and the artist had a Finnish-sounding name, so I started reading and became addicted immediately. I have now read SSSS maybe four times and aRTD twice, and I was spending so much time lurking in the comment section and on the forum that I decided to just give in and start posting.Shwmae a croeso, Pupunen!

Everyone loves the comic's art, yeah, and it is a nice change from the usual Australian/American wastelands you normally see in post-apocalyptic stories.
I'll just refer you to our (affiliated, but not directly linked) IRC channel over on Quakenet at (https://webchat.quakenet.org/)#ssss, and show you to the SSSS Art Museum (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=35.0) and the Language Board. (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?board=5.0)
See you around!

Diolch yn fawr! :) I spent half a year in Cardiff as an Erasmus student last year and took a beginners' Welsh class. Learning Welsh was actually one of the main reasons I wanted to go to Cardiff. But when I say basics, I really mean very basic stuff - I can introduce myself in Welsh, ask how someone is doing and maybe complain about the weather a little bit, but not much else. I wish I had managed to learn more, though! I heard that this year, Bangor was among the exchange options, and I'm so jealous of the people who get to go there, I'm pretty sure there would have been more opportunities to learn Welsh there. (And North Wales is also incredibly beautiful.)
I have delusions of studying more Welsh one day, but I think I'll have to wait until I'm done with the compulsory Icelandic class I'm taking right now...
Anyway, thank you for the squirrel cookies, everyone!

I go by Rachael in the comments, and I'm OrganicClockwork on tumblr (but I've been trying to change it to ChaelCodes).
I don't remember when I started reading A Redtail's Dream, but it was long before it was completed.
I remember slogging through the prologue, and becoming obsessed with Stand Still Stay Silent when I saw Lalli's dream-world. That's when I started reading the comments.
The first time we saw the Giant in the train, it took me several minutes to understand that that's what a troll looked like in the real world. I thought all the prior images were metaphors of how terrible they were, and that Lalli's dream was a spiritual representation. I never imagined that they would look so gruesome.
Lately, I've been reading everything on the fan forum, in particular the art thread and sssscriptorium.
I'm trying to learn to draw and write fan fiction so I can contribute more to the forum. I draw using the ArtFlow (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bytestorm.artflow) app on my tablet.
Also, I'm on a carb-free diet, so no squirrel cookies for me. :)

I remember slogging through the prologue, and becoming obsessed with Stand Still Stay Silent when I saw Lalli's dream-world.*Remember how smiling and inwardly excited she was, discovering it - Maybe not only inwardly...* ::)

Man, I know what you mean about that moment with the Giant on the train - so intense! And that's when it clicked that things weren't, ah, metaphorical.
... You're interested in writing fanfiction? *_* Excellennnnt. Hopefully you'll share your art with us, and your writing if you do any.
Anyway, I hope you will enjoy it here. : D!

Hello. I'm a 23yo application developer from the U.S.
I go by Rachael in the comments, and I'm OrganicClockwork on tumblr (but I've been trying to change it to ChaelCodes).
I don't remember when I started reading A Redtail's Dream, but it was long before it was completed.
I remember slogging through the prologue, and becoming obsessed with Stand Still Stay Silent when I saw Lalli's dream-world. That's when I started reading the comments.
The first time we saw the Giant in the train, it took me several minutes to understand that that's what a troll looked like in the real world. I thought all the prior images were metaphors of how terrible they were, and that Lalli's dream was a spiritual representation. I never imagined that they would look so gruesome.

Welcome to the Forum!

On the scale of late introductions, this one might rank as the all-time top one. I don't really have an excuse, aside from "I couldn't be bothered".
I'm CornCobMan, I'm 30-someting and I was born in Northern Ireland (read Norn Iron) to parents from Hong Kong so I have both British and Chinese roots. I like to think of this as the best of both worlds and while I'm by no means an expert of either culture I have experienced them somewhat. I'm currently living and working in Hong Kong since a few years ago.
So many of you already know me from the forum and the Disqus comments as "that sort-of poet who's a bit weird" but believe it or not in real life I do not express myself in many words, if at all. In real life I am a reserved individual and I am not the kind of guy who likes the sound of my own voice enough to talk to strangers in public unsolicited. I only talk when absolutely life-threateningly necessary and even then the words can probably be counted only on one hand. Conversations with me can be (read always) mind numbingly dull I suspect due the above. I'd probably talk more if it weren't for my crippling social awkwardness, and complete lack of something to say...
The comments section and the forums here are my outlet for wordswordswordswords and people seem to like them so I keep doing it. I like nothing more than to spend a quiet night in and my favourite pastimes involve playing games, eating, sometimes modding games, eating, watching sports, eating, listening to music, eating, reading, eating, watching movies, eating, eating and eating.
That's enough about me.
CornCobMan out.

Sounds like a good excuse to me. ;p
High-five from one quiet person to another! It was nice to hear a bit about you; thanks for taking the time.

Hello. I made an account pretty much entirely to make a joke in my profile pic.
Also because I like the comic.
Both very good reasons if I do say so myself! Welcome to the forum! 8)
Post by: Malin on November 06, 2015, 02:00:05 AM
I'm also a webcomic artist myself, and I have had a webcomic up for about 7 months now. It's pretty new, so I don't have a big following, but the readers I have are very faithful.
I got into ssss because I'm a big fan of long, epic stories and most of all I'm a fan of Scandinavian themes.
I'm Norwegian myself, born in Trondheim and now I'm studying visual development in San Francisco, USA.
So yeah, I hope to meet people here with similar interests as me, and seeing that a lot of people here are Scandinavian I think I'm in the right place! Hope to make some friends, making a comic alone is very lonely.

Hello and welcome! Yes I would say you are in the right place! There are quite a few Scandinavians here, we have representatives from all the countries, including Iceland and Finland, and actually quite a few Norwegians, even someone who is in Trondheim. I know there are also people who live in San Fran who are on the forum as well. They have even met up in the past. There are a few other webcomic artists here too. I think you will fit in here well :) Please feel free to mingle. We have many art threads that you can look at, from fan art, to general art, to crafting. You can find a more complete list of art threads here (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=429.msg67232#msg67232).

Great stuff, thank you. While my peers here at the art academy are satisfying my need to talk about art, none of them do any webcomics, or even comics at all. So I feel lonely in that sense. It's also good to know there's some people from my home country, I've been in America for 3,5 years and I miss home more and more every year. I visit of course, but I miss living there. I cope with it by drawing my comic, I think. I wasn't even that interested in Scandinavian culture when I lived in Norway, but now that I'm away it's all I want to draw. Aint that a bummer haha.
Anyway, thanks again. I want to try to be active, maybe I can be an asset in critiquing art if anyone wants that.

Post by: Malin on November 06, 2015, 02:36:42 AM
WHAT!!!! SOMEONE FROM TRONDHEIM BUT DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE!!!! what am i, cursed
I mean!! Hi!! Welcome to the forum!!! What's your webcomic called? O:
Y-you're from Trondheim?? aaaa! well, I am only studying in America, I visit home twice a year! Not sure I'll stay here for long after I graduate, if I get a job I will. I'm torn between working in a studio here in California or go home and try to make an art career in Norway.
This is my comic http://www.fjordsoncomic.com/ (http://www.fjordsoncomic.com/) and keep in mind it's kinda new (around 7 months maybe?) and has about 73 pages, I'm still trying to get the story really going. I can't update as many times as Minna (what a beast!) because I got classes n stuff, but my current update schedule is 3 times a week. I'm hoping someday (far into the future probs) to do nothing but the comic haha. Maybe one day! For now I'm grateful for every single reader I get, so I hope you like it.
I'm going to Trondheim this winter btw!

also dang your comic looks SO GOOD, i think i'm gonna read it immediately. wait - is the first chapter page of Røros? O:
edit: haha probably not røros but i certainly got some røros-y vibes there
also a tiny tip - your tumblr and devart links don't work at, you don't need to fill in the .tumblr.com and .deviantart.com ^___^
oh and now that i'm rereading your intro post when i'm actually awake - we do have some threads about own webcomics and webcomic making discussions - here (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=644.0) and here (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=278.msg18270#msg18270)!

Welcome, Malin. I think you've found your feet pretty fast! :D
I live in San Mateo myself (about 30 minutes south of SF) and was the co-organizer of the San Francisco Meet-Up in June. We hope to have another before the end of the year (or whenever it works for people) and hopefully you can join us!
Where are you studying?
BTW, I'm kind of embarrassed but the only reason I recognize "Malin" as a female name is a passage from "Pippi Longstocking" where she talks about how her mother's maid, Malin, used to do crazy things. (No reference to present company intended!)

Weclome to the forum :). You will soon see, that you are not the eldest member here and most people discuss regardless of age, writing abilities and different cultural backgrounds happily with one another.
(You might also notice that people only correct your grammar/spelling if you explicitly ask them too or if [in my case] you used vocab in a way that will definitely lead to missunderstanding).
Have a great time here!

You can call me Tay, I draw things. I have 4 webcomics, 2 of which are active and you can read all of them here: http://tapastic.com/taybee/series
I also have a bunch of other art on my tumblr: tay-bee.tumblr.com/tagged/tay draws and furaffinity. I also cosplay and basically any other creative medium you can think of.
I don't remember how I found SSSS but it took me about 4 times of starting and dropping it to finish the prologue, then when a friend got really into it I finally kicked my own ass and binge read- fell in love and here I am! Joined because so far none of my real life friends read it and dunno if they ever will ;m;

Okaay intro?? 8D
You can call me Tay, I draw things. I have 4 webcomics, 2 of which are active and you can read all of them here: http://tapastic.com/taybee/series
I also have a bunch of other art on my tumblr: tay-bee.tumblr.com/tagged/tay draws and furaffinity. I also cosplay and basically any other creative medium you can think of.
I don't remember how I found SSSS but it took me about 4 times of starting and dropping it to finish the prologue, then when a friend got really into it I finally kicked my own ass and binge read- fell in love and here I am! Joined because so far none of my real life friends read it and dunno if they ever will ;m;
Also i'm Emilalli trash ｡*｡+｡(｀･ω･｡)
Hello! Glad to see you here as well :)
Here is that nonSSSS cosplay thread we were telling you about: https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=578.0
and here is the SSSS one: https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=339.0
And SSSS fanart is all here! https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=35.0

SSSS is one of my newest discoveries, but now I'm a really big fan. I can't get over Tuuri's cuteness. Or Lalli's. Or Emil's. Or Reynir's... Okay, you get the idea. Heh.
But yeah, I've never really been to a forum before, much less an English one, so I'm kind of nervous... My English may be bad (thankfully not as bad as my Swedish). Hopefully I can hold a converstation! :)

Hello, I'm a young, "slightly" abnormal Finn who enjoys stories in every form: music, comic, book, movie... There's not really anything special about me, I like drawing but I'm not very good at it, I try to play the piano but I'm too lazy to study the theoritical stuff, and I like to write but it almost always ends up being something really weird. :D

Welcome!!
Just so you know, almost everyone who is an avid user and poster on this forum started off with something like "I've never been on a forum before..." or "I will probably just lurk forever..."
In fact that was me as well. I had never used a forum before and I was really not a "forum person" and welp. Now here I am.
Feel free to take a look around. We have several writing threads and the people here are really nice. Your cookies will probably arrive shortly.

Welcome! How did a theology blog end up linking here?
Note to self: This forum doesn't email you when your posts get replied to unless you actually tell it to.
Basically, we were discussing apocalyptic fiction in the comments section, and someone mentioned they liked the idea of books being used as currency after the end, IIRC. Then esmerelda_ogg directed us to SSSS, and I thought the premise was interesting enough. Seeing the map on page 66 was....surprisingly haunting. Wonder if that's how New Yorkers feel whenever their city is blown up in movies.

Basically I came for the the amazing art and interesting story, and I end up staying for the lore and supernatural elements. That's what I actually made me write my first comment on the comic: the weird shadow people. And the magic. (And the community).

I stumbled over SSSS last week and speed-read my way through the entire archive, falling completely in love with the story and entire setting in the process. I am now suffering from horrible withdrawal because I have to wait for new episodes. And I am led to believe that there is a terrifying thing called a 'chapter break' that happens from time to time, which may well kill me the next time it occurs. Someone please tell me it's not as awful as it sounds! ;D
I am located in the far antipodes (in that strange and awesome place known to legends as Perth Australia), am far too old to talk about and work as a web developer. I am sadly monolingual and only speak English - Australian English at that, which only barely counts. But I am making a half hearted attempt to learn a bit of German.
I look forward to being a strange and hopefully not too annoying ornament to this forum. Tea and pickles to you all!

I am now suffering from horrible withdrawal because I have to wait for new episodes. And I am led to believe that there is a terrifying thing called a 'chapter break' that happens from time to time, which may well kill me the next time it occurs. Someone please tell me it's not as awful as it sounds! ;D*Pats pats* *Remembers having the same problem at the beginning* Take a cookie.

I stumbled over SSSS last week and speed-read my way through the entire archive, falling completely in love with the story and entire setting in the process. I am now suffering from horrible withdrawal because I have to wait for new episodes.

Hello and welcome! /o/ Haaa, yessss, join us in the ranks of having to wait for page-a-day, sometimes I feel like I'm going to explode from anticipation.
You definitely aren't the only Aussie here; I expect you'll see the others around eventually. : D
Looking forward to seeing you around! I'll take the tea, but pass on the pickles. ;p
Post by: Purple Wyrm on December 02, 2015, 11:10:02 PM
Tea with pickles is an old Australian tradition started in 1789 when Governor Arthur Phillip of the Port Jackson (now Sydney) colony ran out of biscuits just before the arrival of the Second Fleet and had nothing else to serve the arriving captains with.
That is actually a complete lie that I just made up. Tea and pickles were actually the standard welcome gift for newbies at a forum I used to frequent years ago, so I thought I'd share them out here as well ;)

Why thank you! I might just do that if I get through my pained list of owed work. :'D
But thank you for the information! ^__^
And it seems to me you draw really neatly yourself!
As for me, I joined somewhere in aRTD, but took a break for the first half year of ssss because I found the new setting very scary. xD
Fav character would be Mikkel, and possibly Trond.

Well, I've already posted things on the SSSS Art Museum, so those who have seen them already know that I like to draw and that my favorite character is Emil :D But I love all the character really, they are all fantastic.
So, uhm... more about me, I'm 22, I'm from a very thin, very long country at the end of the world called Chile. I'm in the university and I draw in my free time as a hobby, also I love cooking and food and cats and cute things in general!!
Also, I ended up here because of my best friend. She's been reading the comic since the start but never participated in the fandom too much
Well, that's it for now ^-^
P.D.: can someone explain me the thing with the cookies please? Or where can I found more information about it.

Hello everyone, my name is Mattias and is currently at 18 years of age. I'm studying my last year in the IB-programme (International baccalouret something, something) in high school and found this delightful comic during my biology lesson a little over a year ago (page 197 of I'm not mistaken). I don't really know what I want to do with my life after graduation, but it will probably work itself out in one way or another (fingers crossed!). I usually spend most of my time studying and played video games during my free time but has now been replaced with exercising in the local gym (poor Xbox have been collecting dust in the corner of my room for 2 years now). To round things off, I would like to say that I look forward to be spending more time in this forum and to see all the wonderful works made by the amazing fans of Stand Still, Stay Silent.
Hey Puls3!!! Welcome to the forum!
We have several IB students here, and also a few IB grads (myself being one of them). We could probably even set up some study groups when exam time comes around. Feel free to take a look around, we have art, writing, languages, video games, and much much more!

I'm Nietos, a Finnish cultural history student about to turn 26. I'm working on my master's thesis (basically, if you don't want to listen to a long monologue, you might want to avoid mentioning historical fiction, the Papal States in the 15th and 16th century, the Borgias and Italian Renaissance in general) and half a dozen knitting projects. I enjoy good food and sleeping. Fiction writing is one of my main hobbies but I've been ignoring my novel draft for way too long to really call myself a writer.
Contrary to my avatar's statement, I have had fun multiple times and quite enjoyed myself.

P.S
The TOK presentation is a nightmare and the essay is to be handed in this Friday. (Pro tip, if you ever decide to do a presentation in TOK, NEVER decide to talk about ethics. It may look fascinating and simple but believe me, it's just one of many TOK traps that will drive you mad)

Hi! I started reading the comic very recently but immediately fell in love with it, so here I am. I've beenstalkingchecking out the forums for a few days and figured I might as well start posting.

Hello and welcome, fellow history and knitting enthusiast! Topics to avoid around me would be settlement era + Medieval Iceland and to some amout the rest of the Nordics of roughly the same time span. Or you know, not avoid around me but I can speak for hours if you give me an excuse. (The Borgias are a fascinating family btw!)

Thank you so much for the warm hearted welcomes *eats cookies*. I'm still trying to figure the technical aspects of this forum but I think I will get the hang of it soon enough :)

Post by: Aliax on December 14, 2015, 07:29:56 PM
So, erm... Hi?
- Name: Aliax on the forum and in the comments, Alex in RL
- Age: 2 Tuuris, or 1 Sigrun + 10, or 1 Taru + 1, you get the idea :P
- Gender: trans male. Started FtM transition 3.5 years ago. Am mostly done socially, 3/4 done medically, and not done at all legally yet.
- Nationality: French.
- Languages: French and English. I lived in one of the former Yugoslavian republics for 6 years, but never managed to learn its language - among other reasons because I could always manage with English. Heh.
- Marital Status: divorced and hopefully forever happily single. Mother to the most awesome 13yo autistic son, who lives abroad with his father because France is still stuck in the prehistoric ages when it comes to taking care of handicapped people =_=
- Occupation: civil servant in civil aviation
- Lives: in the southern part of the greater Paris area, a bit South of the Orly airport. I share a flat with my younger sister and a cat, and my son during the holidays of course.
- How I Got Into SSSS: someone recced it on an anonymous fandom forum I was lurking on. I got stuck in the prologue the first time I tried it, though. Then I saw another rec for it somewhere else (probably the comments of SatW), with the added precision that one shouldn't hesitate to just skip the prologue if one found it too boring or something. So I did just that, and got promptly hooked on to the main story. It was much more pleasurable to go back to the prologue after finishing the main storyline - but it was very much not pleasurable at all to finish said main storyline right at the beginning of a chapter break :'(
- About My Avatar: my previous avatar was a Grade C Cat, because that's pretty much what I feel like whenever I'm in the company of most people: like some kind of big, fat, nice, but not-exactly-bright animal. My current "Confused Lalli" avatar reflects my constant bafflement at Life in general: no matter what I do, it keeps insisting on throwing loads and loads on wrenches into my best-prepared plans, for no other apparent reason than "Because it can".
- Weird Habit: I can post dozens of comments in a day, and then nothing for 3 weeks. Also, don't take it personally if I reply endlessly to you on a topic, and then abruptly drop out of the conversation. My brain only seems to know two modes (On and Off), and I generally can't control when it switches mode on which topic. Sorry :(
- Warning: Do NOT get me started on a topic I like, unless you like being hit by Walls Of Text.
- What Else: I dunno? Ask me if you want to know something. I
mostlydon't bite :)

I am late to joining the party here on the forums -- but I've been an avid fan of Minna's comics for a while now ^.^ -- I'm glad that I finally got around to making a forum account. I love interacting with people from all corners of the globe! I'm thrilled to be here!

Hi welcome! Wow you have a lot of languages! Do you know all of those languages? Or are you learning them? Either way, I'm impressed. This is a great place for interacting with people around the globe. I hope you can make yourself at home here.

I have been reading the ssss since spring and I'm hooked. I have been semi active in the discus, and started to post here too. As I got rather personal at the personal section I figured that it is time to introduce myself.
I'm from Finland, close to forty, male, husband, father of five, Psychiatric Nurse (registered) and got a masters degree in nursing science. My nick is my name. I used to work as a unit manager (or ward-sister ;) ) for adolescent psychiatry but quit after 8 years, to start working part time for a Lutheran diocese as a secretary of the diocese. I also work part time as a psychiatric nurse in my old unit. It is nice to be back in the line.
I'm a reader, both fiction (thrillers, historical novels, fantasy) and fact (history mainly). I love comics and use them to unwind. I apologize for my English, my passive English is quite good (I read more in English that in Finnish and I lived in UK for a bit over a year some decade ago), but my active English is rusty. The problem is that my brain still thinks that I can write fluent English so I just arrogantly write what comes to mind.
I'm quite keen on speculating on spiritual matters. I love how the use of old Finnish words (and the concepts behind the words) "luonto", "väki" etc... are in use at this comic. My professional training makes me interested in individual behavior the group behavior that is present at the comic. I have done my military service (NCO, arctic region long range ranger/scout), as most male citizen in the Finland, and on occasion might feel the pressure to comment on something that relates to use of guns, guns, psychology of killing etc.
It would be nice to have a IRL meet in Helsinki (or southern Finland) at some point.

Welcome, saminiemi! I approve of your icon.
What kind of thrillers do you like? Do you like modern day thrillers with fantasy? Or at least a story about a soldier training in snowy mountains who spots a dragon that flies away, and no one believes him. But then he goes on a magical adventure because of it.
I want to visit Finland someday. Unfortunately someday may have to be far off. Hope some other minnions can go!
Post by: TicTac on December 17, 2015, 04:27:53 AM
I'm Australian, and I'm fifteen. I'm not going to tell my actual name because I don't usually do that on the Internet, safety and all that. I only really became a fan pretty much two days ago, I binge read everything in the space of a day, but I love it so much!
I love books and comics, especially stories like SSSS, where a group of people, whether they know each other or not, get thrown into a situation of survival. Big groups, small groups, I love them all. The more danger, the better!
I'm afraid I'm not very worldly, I've only been out of Australia three times, but I would so love to get out and do more, probably after I graduate school. I've always been interested in Europe, and Scandinavia, probably helped along by me reading Scandinavia and the World. I don't know any languages other than English, though I learned Chinese in school for five years (of which I remember only a few select phrases, like how to say I am Australian. Super useful.) but I still would love to travel ^_^
Anyway, so hi everyone! I can't wait to talk and get to know some of you guys, and read lots of SSSS in the future!
(I'm also reading through a Redtail's Dream, haven't quite finished it yet though)

I don't really like to share personal details online, but I hope that was a sufficient introduction...?

Interests? Hm, well, I fic, but not for this fandom. Just haven't gotten the urge; at this point, I mostly want more canon. I really enjoy rambling on about characterization, namely things that I headcanon based on logical deduction. Right now I'm primarily looking for a way to pass the time until either the next page comes out, or it's late enough for me to go to bed with the hope that I'll see the next page in the morning.

Thanks! Yes, it is, from 'Moravian Teachers' Choir'. I have loved Alphonse Mucha's art since... since I visited Prague when I was sixteen, I think.aaaa I knew it! I visited the Mucha museum in Prague this very summer, so I knew I had seen it in the patriotic section. I'm half moravian so I feel a special kinship to those ^_____^

Hi and welcome, Metta! Which other forum is talking about us?
Well, the comic was being discussed in a thread of Spacebattles.com. It was a little thread hence the "sort of" ^-^.
Spacebattles is quite a bit bigger then this forum and filled with a variety of crazy people :D, so I'd navigate it with caution and a bible. Not the dirty kind of crazy people, more like pyromaniacs that have a strange affection for large devastating explosions. (I am guilty of that at times hehe)

Oh my god, it's been years since I was on a board like this! And this is such a big one! You'll have to bear with me while I get used to it. It may take a while, it really has been years...
I'm Rachel, codename Jeran. I've been using my real name in comments on the comic because it links with my G+, and I figure I'll just go along with it until I write something I don't want the rest of the world to look up later during my bid for the presidency. Since that's highly unlikely, I think we're good. And since connectivity is what it is, I live in Philadelphia in America and I just had a birthday which makes me a year younger than Sigrun. There, you now have everything you need to steal my identity. Please don't! :-[ ;D
I came on here because I want to hear more of the theories of what's going on in the comic, so I'll be strolling through the archives for a while. And judging by the size of some of these threads, it really will be a while... :o
Anyway, HI!

Welcome, Jeran! You can find practically everything SSSS-related here, from humor, fanfic, and art to practically NSA-level analysis of every last aspect of the comic. The General Discussion board also offers non-SSSS discussions, games, activities, recipe swaps, etc. ... so if you had the problem of too much time on your hands before, you'll never have it again! ;D
We really make an effort to be friendly and inclusive here. So if you ever have a question, please don't hesitate to ask, whether in a Forum post or a PM to me or any of the other admins and staff. The Help menu item above has a ton of useful tips and links to various parts of the Forum.

Hi, so, I'm Cati, and I started reading SSSS last week and yesterday I caught up all the way and now I'm here. I deeply love essentially absolutely everything about aRTD. SSSS is more, like, scary so it took a while to talk myself into reading it, but with all the language stuff and magic-working and amazing lovely characters (ok, so my favourites don't all have conventionally lovely personalities) it was really inevitable.
And thanks to jmf, Nimphy, and kjeks for already welcoming me and pointing me over to this thread!
Hmm. I'm 25, currently live in USA/Pennsylvania, student (linguistics), hopelessly flaky, have a great liking for dogs and dance and delicious fruit?
Ohh linguistics you say! You might like The Language Board (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?board=5.0) then. As you got the cookies already, here is some *blankets* and some *bubblewrap*. Beware, people might want to steal the precious bubblewrap!

Hi! Call me Q.
I'm not sure how active I'll be over here, I haven't used a forum in ages... But I wanted to register to be able to keep better track of forum posts - there's a lot of threads I'll be wanting to comb through in the near future! (...I realized this after already reading through the entire fanart thread and needing to know where I stopped off.) I found out about SSSS through friends talking about it, read it all in one night a couple weeks ago, and now I'm a little in love.
Besides that - I'm 23, American, my main interests are things like history, art history, geography, linguistics, planning, architecture, identity, and so on; I've fallen into a major special interest hole with the Nordic countries in general over the past year, too, so that's certainly part of the reason for SSSS's appeal! (My other significant fandom is Hetalia. Quite a different way of looking at the same areas, that's for sure.)
I like cats and coffee. I'm working on learning Norwegian but I'm slow.
Can I just, er, repost this? I'd like to try to stick around here this time. (1) I've been feeling socially disconnected lately and I'd like to meet people (2) It might be helpful to me to have an external reminder to read the comic more than once per ten days.
I'm still me, but I'm 24 now.

Post by: JoB on January 12, 2016, 08:10:24 PM
JoB: Bwaaahahah! The kangaroo! The plastic hands! What *was* that?!?Well, the 'roo was actually the mascot of the TV show, Känguru (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%A4nguru_%28Fernsehsendung%29). Leinemann is a band with quite a long history (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leinemann), the song a cover of Rockin’ Sidney's (Don’t Mess With) My Toot Toot, and I'ld wager a guess that the rest of the getup was heavily inspired by the contemporary NDW (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neue_Deutsche_Welle). Large parts of which, apart from taking the shape of identifiable (and reproducible) pop songs, bordered on wanton dadaism ...

This is definitely the first fan forum for a webcomic I have joined, and probably the first forum I plan to take seriously.;D
I say plan, :-\ but New Year's Resolutions stuff be that.
I am excited to read a new webcomic from scratch. It's been awhile *cracks knuckles* I have a super brief synopsis that I am operating under (the best kind). I hope to keep track of my progress on here so that people can vicariously re-unre-read. Of course, if it stings that you can't be enjoying SSSS for the first time same as me, then avoid my posts, please :) I don't want to cause harm. O:-) I mention this because I recently told a friend I was jealous that they hadn't been spoiled (much) for things like Harry Potter and Star Wars. :-X
I have looked at the first page and I think the art is amazing so far. The details please me. So, thanks for the opportunity to share something new with new friends :D. I look forward to discussing things with you! orz
Post by: Kiraly on January 13, 2016, 12:55:56 PM
(Also, I'm sure you can guess this, but the forum is pretty spoiler-laden if you haven't read the whole comic yet. So tread carefully!)

Long and short, the comic started me on learning Norwegian because who doesn't want to be an awesome troll slayer person like Sigrun? And then I came across ARtD and the fact that it's in Finnish as well just meant I had another language to learn. Also, I'm studying Engineering so the wildly varying levels of tech and recovering lost knowledge has me geeking out pretty hard.
I'm hoping to just dive in to this whole thing, never really been active in a forum before.

Hi, I'm Anna. I'm currently a year older than Tuuri. I live in a basement on the eastern side of the American Midwest and I found SSSS through a little banner on another webcomic. (Far To The North, I think. Either that or Girl Genius.) I share my living space with a couple of Grade C felines. I have read both SSSS and aRTD all the way through and am working on rereading both. I spend too much time reading stuff online (Buzzfeed is a real rabbithole, lemme tell you) and texting my one friend who still lives in Florida.
Welcome Anna!

Hi and welcome, Anna! That's an awesome avatar!I unrepentantly stole it from Ms. Sundberg's piece "The Safe Place" because it reminded me of an old character of mine. O:-)
Welcome Anna! Basement dwellers unite! (The grade C felines who live with me aren't allowed in my part of the basement though, too much potential for litter box confusion). Also I live in the western part of the American East, so I feel like we're vaguely neighbors. ;)Ah, cool! Hi, Neighbor!
Post by: prof_marvel on January 20, 2016, 09:53:03 PM
Please allow me to introduce myself.
I go by Prof Marvel; I am a certified card-carrying Grumpy Old Phart, nearly as old as Trond Anderson.
I have been interested in SF, good comic art, and well-told stories since I could read. Mrs Marvel and I both enjoy
good anime, especially historical or supernatural, as long as the story drives the work, not just mecha's or fighting or other teen boy oriented trivia ( examples we like: Inuyasha; Natsume Yuujinchou [Natsume's Book of Friends]; Ghost In The Shell; Cowboy BeBop; Samurai Champloo ) . I am pleased to have found SSSS !!!!
I like to hike in the local mountains, raise vegetables, study history, play with electronics, build damn near anything ( especially furniture, traditional longbows, clocks, knives, axes ) and have done way too many martial arts. Mrs Marvel and I have been Cat Slaves for almost 30 years, currently to two incredibly intelligent black and white feral cats who were rescued as kittens and adopted by us at ~ 6 weeks of age.
We are great believers in That Which Cannot Be Seen, and we talk to birds and other critters . and trees. and rocks.
Whilst down sick with the flu after the New Year I found SSSS on the Hive, and I was so entranced I read it one sitting. Then re-read it. Then found RTD and read it in two evenings. Then I began scouring the web for Minna Sundberg's works, being enthralled by her art and stories. I am working diligently to refrain from becoming a stalker !
I was first impressed by Ms Sundberg's artistic style, then by her use of historic Nordic costumes and settings,
then by her scholarly approach to the languages!
We can see from Minna's other works, that she is fully capable of exquisite photo-realistic depictions. As her own style developed, first in RTD then in SSSS we see she achieved a beautiful "softer" water-color inspired artistic rendition that is far more expressive of motion and emotion. Thus when certain visual details ( which she is clearly capable of rendering ) are not critical to the story, artistic style, and progression such details can be readily diminshed, especially when details of this nature are considerably less important to the overall work. I find this refreshing and compelling!
The facts that Ms Sundberg has worked out so much background detail essential to the storyline, the character's backstory, and character development and maintains the consistency speaks volumes of her professionalism in the art.
Further, we can see that Ms Sundberg has put an incredible amount of study and effort into the historic, geographic, and linguisitic background to this epic Nordic saga - even to the point that her Language Tree has become a reference and resource to quite a number of educational institutions!
I am looking forward to re-reading RTD; re-re-reading and following SSSS, and I hope to find ways to throw money at Ms Sundberg to help her continue her works.
your humble servant

I study Finnish lang and lit in uni, writing BA thesis atm. Besides the bf, I live with two Grade C cats and four houseplants, and my other hobbies include medieval re-enactment, sewing, reading, postcrossing, geocatching and hiking. I've been trying to switch wholly to vegan diet lately too, does that count as a hobby? It's made me a better cook at least, I think.
A thing I love in SSSS besides the drawing style and the whole world-building, is the way the comic handles the different mythological concepts. I hope I'll get to geek it all out about mythology and linguistics in here :3

But I did wanna make an account on here, because I've been reading the comic for nearly a year now, and never bothered to sign up for the fan forum yet. Well, might as well, right? No harm done if I hardly use it, but if I do get on for a reason, it'd be nice to have an account already prepped. :B

I'm Regolith. I'm a first year Mechanical Engineering student, aviation enthusiast, hobbyist writer, and dedicated Minnion from back in the aRTD days. This is maybe my second time actually posting in the forum, so hey guys!Hello! Nice to meet your acquaintance. Mechanical Engineering, huh? Forgive my ignorance, but what is the difference between that and general Engineering? I'm curious, but never asked anyone before.

This is maybe my second time actually posting in the forum, so hey guys!Hi, Reg! I know there are a few other aviation peeps here (I'm waffling around the edges of that interest, it's really cool but I'm not super super invested). What do you think of Mechanical? I'm trying to decide between doing that or Aerospace when I go to college (next school year).
Also, G0vnah, Mechanical is sort of the general Engineering when you want to distinguish it from, say Civil (bridges, sewers, etc.) or Electrical. It more has to do with "how do these pieces that could be part of anything interact and move together?"

I'm not very far into the program just yet, but I'm liking it so far! I opted for ME partly because of the school, and partly because of the fact that Mechanical Engineers have skills that are applicable in pretty much any field, including Aeronautics and Aerospace. It's not something that you should take my word on, however- you should try to talk to an Aerospace Engineer and get their feedback on the subject.
Aviation Enthusiasts for the win!

(Interesting you should say that about mechanical and aerospace. My dad's undergraduate degree is in aeronautical engineering (which is what they called it way back then), but when he went to grad school he switched to mechanical. My own degree is physics, which is pretty much useless ;) )

Welcome, I'm 6 years into a Mechatronic Engineering degree so hopefully you get through it a bit faster than me. ;) And yeah you can use an engineering degree for anything that involves projects, management or, surprisingly, project management, so my advice is to try all the different facets. Process engineering, management, validation, project planning and so on, find what you enjoy the most while you're studying so you know what you want to do once you get out.
Noodly, it pretty much depends what you want out of the study. I would recommend Aerospace if what you're planning to do is quite related to it, otherwise Mechanical is a bit more widely applicable. One of my friends I started with in my Mechatronic degree is currently studying part-time while he runs his orbital payload deployment start-up company, so as long as you're passionate, you'll make it work.
However if you want a job at an established aero company (Boeing, Lockheed, Space-X) you will need an Aerospace degree to work directly on their main projects, or so I've heard. They can be... selective in that sense.
I am a little biased because the fluid mechanics equations you use for flow look like this (and I have to do my next Fluid Mechanics subject this upcoming semester), though fortunately a large percentage of the terms drop out for most applications.

Exactly! Don't be afraid people. The equation is scary but it just says that energy (in all its possible forms) is conserved and it could be written in a more compact way. There is also one (or three, depending on how you count) for momentum and one for mass, and they are shorter.

Haha, yes I did. ;D The most best thing is crossing out 75% of the equation because it's incompressible or has laminar flow or doesn't change state or is in an inertial frame of reference.

I call myself Sananjalka, which is Finnish for Pteridium aquilinum and literally means "foot-o’-word".
A very good friend of mine has been enchanted by SSSS for a while, and provided me with an opportunity to read all of the printed first volume some weeks ago. I am thoroughly impressed by the huge amounts of work Minna Sundberg is putting into the comic, as well as convinced that SSSS is one of the greatest works of modern fantasy popularizing the Nordic cultures and languages. (Too bad it seems that the Sami people did not survive the rash illness, though.)

Ah, I see. I prefer letting native English speakers (whether in a normative or in a laissez-faire way) define the English vocabulary, including foreign people’s ethnonyms. Naturally others can make suggestions, and those might catch off.
On the other hand, I am more interested than the everyman in how the Northern Sami speakers define their own vocabulary (vaikko mun human hui veaháš sámegiela).

Dire is fine! I don't expect people to remember my real name when it's not in my profile :) thank you for asking though, and for the welcome from everyone!
My "dire" is for "dire wolf." When I was maybe eight or nine my dad and I always played this old AD&D computer game that had dire wolves as first level monsters, I loved them. I pretty much have used Dire as my default pseudonym ever since...such a dork haha

Thanks guys! I'm not one to pass up free cookies, but why are they made of squirrel? Is this some new culinary adventure?You are familiar with Minna's previous work, A Red Tails Dream. She calls it her practice work, but it is just perfect. Lots of animals there. I have always had the idea that the squirrel theme comes from there. Minnions here tend to go back to it during the chapter breaks and whenever SSSS gets too scary.

the squirrel cookies have a real life origin. I will not lift the entire mystery, but they are part of a cheering up and welcome culture. Some time back they came with blankets and hot tea, but we had to cut down on these due to lack of resources *nods*

I go by WaytoomanyUIDs on the interwebs most of the time. Been reading Stand Still Stay Silent for a long time, found it from an archive binge at A Redtail's Dream. Seen mention of it before that, but had written it off as a generic zombie comic. Signed up on the forums about a year ago and then forgot I'd done so.

Welcome to the Forum, WaytoomanyUIDs. I hope it won't be a year before you post again! By the way, what is a UID?(Since computers deal better with numbers than with names, what is shown to the humans as user- and groupnames is usually converted to identification numbers behind the scenes, in particular User ID (UID) and Group ID (GID).)

Moin everyone!
I've been lurking around the forum for a week or so and I felt like it was time to introduce myself.
I got introduced to SSSS two weeks ago and caught up on p.270. Since then I've been spending all my time reading aRTD, 3/4 of the Scriptorium and squeeing my way through 1/4 of the Art Museum. (Man, that thing is big!) I had to stop myself reading all of the Intro thread before posting my own - you might notice that I have a slight problem with having to read everything (I take ages in museums) and thus don't really like being late to things. (Another reason is that I missed the first book and I'm desperately hoping for a reprint at some point.) So, yeah, my life has been pretty much consumed by SSSS and my schoolwork is not happy.
About me: I'm originally from Hamburg, Germany, and currently studying in New England, USA. I study linguistics, so I get a bit crazy about languages and start to learn a bunch but really just want to understand how they work and then I move on. But I always tell myself that if I ever actually need to use them, I've got the basics down, and I'll just forget anything I'm not using right now anyways. (So much for the things I tell myself.) At least half of these languages are historical, so I don't need to speak them anyways. :D Last semester I took Old Norse, this semester I'm teaching myself Yiddish and next I'll hopefully get into a Finnish class. (I tried it once before but I'm not made for 9am classes.)
Oh wow, that's really just a lot of rambling about languages but it seems that's a prominent topic in the fandom - and I love it btw.
Are we still giving our age in characters? If yes, I'm a year younger than Hannu. (Sounds better than two years older than Tuuri, I'm anxious enough about adulthood as it is.)
And now I'll try to tear myself away, before I end up looking at fanart till 4 am again. I've got a Y0 fic outlined/started and couldn't help myself but doodle (despite my lack of drawing skills), so I guess I'll see you in the other threads (and in the comments)!
Hyvää yötä! *pat pat*

Heyo! < 3 Glad to meet you. : D I can sympathize with the "must read EVERYTHING!" mindset, heh. I'm slowly working through a backlog myself (going through the Scriptorium sure can take a while when your time is limited...)
Lots of people here looove languages, so you're in good company. (You got to take Old Norse? Eee, lucky! That sounds like it would've been so cool. *_* )
And now I'll try to tear myself away, before I end up looking at fanart till 4 am again. I've got a Y0 fic outlined/started

(You got to take Old Norse? Eee, lucky! That sounds like it would've been so cool. *_* )The grammar was more learning by heart than structural analysis but we translated a bunch of stuff from the Prose Edda, so that was really nice. :)
This sounds very relevant to my interests. : D If you end up writing it and deciding to share, I'll totally look forward to that. < 3It's gonna be about a group of people from the Halligen in the German North Sea and since that's kind of a unique setting I need lots of exposition and right now I'm struggling on how to package that nicely and with a low density of German words... But I have some ideas and would love to share once it's done!
Piney, thank you for the cookies! *munches* :squirrelcookie:
Another fic writer, yes.At least a budding one. :) I'm really surprised that I haven't started earlier but this story has a special kind of power over me...
Eeee, a fellow linguistics student (and historical Germanic at that)We actually used Minna's language tree in the Intro to Linguistics that I TA'd for last year and I could kick myself that I didn't go look for where it came from then!
(I find myself curious about good linguist-oriented self-teaching Yiddish resources...)I'm using a book for German speakers right now that's basically written in Yiddish (the two of them being so close). But I also heard good things about Weinreich's College Yiddish.
Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone! :) I'm off to write some...

Ah, I can see how that would be a big help. On the other hand, my english-speaking department's Old Church Slavonic class last term used a textbook in German, so it must not be an entirely insurmountable obstacle (and I've known for years I ought to learn to read it anyway, learn more than I've already picked up accidentally through Die Ärzte songs, there's so much linguistics stuff inaccessible without it)

Some of you probably saw me flail around the disqus section in all my newbie glee. I found SSSS via a suggestion on FFA a bit more than a month ago and read aRTD on a weekend break shortly after. It's been a while since I got so completely hooked on anything that isn't Tolkien, which has been my main fandom for the last 15 years or so. And since I seem to be here to stay (I even started on my first SSSS fanfic last night, which means it's serious), it's about time I finally made my introduction on the forums.
About me... I'm a bit younger than Sigrun, from Northern Germany, tea-addict and happy servant to a four-footed purr machine. I studied English Literature & Linguistics and Classical Archaeology at Hamburg University, and am currently working as a teacher/translator/integration coach-y person (technical term, that!) for the refugees in my hometown. It's both lovely and emotionally taxing, which is probably one of the reasons I've fallen so hard for SSSS and been around so much. Nothing beats a cheery post-apocalypse webcomic with fantastic worldbuilding to sink my teeth into for escapism! :D Personality-wise I'm... a pretty exact replica of Tuuri - short, stubby, cheerful, prone to bouts of excitement and eeee-ness, (although my hair is longer and I wouldn't have the heart to tell little kids that they're adopted). Heh.
On the comic, the art blew me away first, then I fell in love with the world and the characters. Sigrun and Lalli are my faves of faves, while my faves are... the entire team and supporting cast; they all have aspects that I love to pieces - but I'm developing a whowly new appreciation of Onni... which, given the recent pages isn't a big surprise, I don't think.
Okay, I think that'll do. Happy to answer any questions, and happy to be here! :)
Post by: Yuuago on February 27, 2016, 12:43:10 PM
I know what you mean about the whole cheerful post-apocalypse thing. SSSS is just so... cozy, somehow, even with all the creepy moments, and it's just so hopeful and uplifting.
(Also ahhh you've started writing something? What kind of something? Whatever it is, I am totally looking forward to that. *_* )
Anyway - looking forward to seeing you around here. < 3!

And you do love Sigrun, excellent.
I expect I've been happily second-hand-enjoying your commentary on FFA and might have even comented once or twice.
(And yeah, I need to do a re-read now that I feel so so much more about Onni, heh.)

I am American, and I know a teensy-weensy amount of French. Right now I'm learning Finnish, a hobby entirely inspired by Lalli's awesomness.
Other than that, I'm kinda shy, and I've only just gotten around to joining the SSSS community, but so far everyone's been so nice! Thank-you for your kindness! :)

There isn't really a way to reply directly in a thread. So, usually people just quote the post instead. Or a PM is fine too if you want to keep the conversation only between two people.

But I'm a very boring person, and seem to suffer extreme (internet-only) communication anxiety when entering a virtual place so full of smart people who know cool things.
anyway. I am an almost-Sigrun's-age lazy American lady, who started reading SSSS late in October. I've posted in the comments ... quite a bit, according to disqus. (I'm smasha aliz there. I think I managed to sneak in relatively unnoticed, though. ;)) And I've lurked in this forum at least since November, registered my account in December, and am still really really close to deleting this post and retreating.

I'm fairly nice sometimes! Please don't mind my arrival!
Hi! Please don't run away, we're happy to have you here. (I understand the nervousness... good gods, I hyperventilated so much when making my first post!)
I bet you aren't boring. People are always their own worst critics. Hope to see you around more. < 3

Also your name makes me think of the color Alizarin Crimson, which is not boring at all! I'm sure you aren't boring either. :)I make no promises. :) And yep, my actual name is a different shade of crimson, so I stole the theme for the internet. I like red. :)
And yuuago, thank you, it is extremely reassuring to hear that this is scary for other people! Not that I'm glad you ever hyperventilated .. :(

Welcome to the forum! Don't worry about being nervous. Everyone is super nice here. I remember the first time I made a post and I was also terrified, my friend had to forcefully convince me, but it all worked out just fine.

In the real world, I live in the Windy City of the United States and work in the medical field. My other great passion is writing, and I have been steadily developing a massive fictional universe with its own self-contained mythos/languages/history/etc. It probably goes without saying I'm also a huge fan of Tolkien as so many of our interests align, though I enjoy more sci-fi in my own mythos! :) Other interests include books, mythologies (especially anything about the moon), spirituality, music, languages, pharmacology, and...a few other things from a long list I won't bore you all with. :)
I also have accounts on other sites (AO3, Tumblr, etc), but I usually don't link to them together; but you are free to ask about them privately!
I do not know how active I will be around here on the boards, but I am so glad to have found the world of SSSS! :)
Post by: Elleth on March 09, 2016, 09:21:58 AM
Hello! I have been a fan for a little less than a month. I have heard of the webcomic a few times before over the past few months, but finally decided to read it at the suggestion of my dear friend Elleth. :)
Eeeee, you're here! Welcome to the board, love! (Just you wait, I'll drag you in deeper yet! :D)
And of course welcome to the other introductionees, too! Grey-cat, phantasma and alizarin, greetings from a fellow newbie! You all sound great!

Hello! /o/ Always nice to see more people around. Who knows, maybe you'll be more active than you think? : D There are a lot of Tolkien fans here, so you're in good company. < 3
I'm always happy to see other people who like the Prologue characters. That part of the comic has so many possibilities for exploration - not that the main timeline doesn't, but it's so different from the rest of the story.

Hi there, Drverghamrar, and welcome! I'm pretty new to the forum myself, but don't worry, everyone here is very friendly and helpful. I see you're a world-builder--so am I! (although most of it's still in my head instead of on paper T.T) Glad to meet a fellow culture nerd, and good luck in your travels of Minna's new-world culture adventure! XD

Other nerdy things I'm into: the Silmarillion (and Tolkien in general but it's the Silm that does it for me), Star Wars, a couple of other webcomics like Kill Six Billion Demons and Agents of the Realm, and a smattering of other fandoms. (I'm also into The 100, but what can I say, I've got Bury Your Gays PTSD and I think a little bit of me died with Lexa.)
I'm also deaf, so basically I'd die SO FAST in the Rash apocalypse. "Oh dear, Mr. Troll, I sure didn't hear you coming." *dies* I do hear with bilateral cochlear implants, which basically just means I'm a walking grab bag of cyborg jokes. I am open to any and all questions about my ears! :)
My hobbies include reading (anything, but apparently these days a Scandinavian postapocalyptic webcomic at the stroke of midnight) writing, and best of all KNITTING. I am the proud owner of a pair of US 50 needles (aka the BIG NEEDLES THAT LOOK A LITTLE LIKE STAKES?? MAYBE I WOULD SURVIVE THE APOCALYPSE AFTER ALL) and if you ever wonder what I'm doing at any given time, chances are I've got a knitting project in my hands.
I also, as a result of the intensive auditory verbal therapy I went through to learn to listen to speak, am a language sponge, so there's a lot of languages that I've learned, half learned, or am still learning (I haven't listed them all), and I am SUPER EXCITED about linguistics so YEAH!! :D

im interested in actually starting to contribute because the fandom (on the fan forum at least) seems to discuss language/linguistics a lot, and i've always been interested in foreign languages, so finding that section of the forum was great.
my native language is english, and i studied french 3 years, very sporadically for the first 2 (ie: i was studying it in an american public high school so that i could graduate and only learned the bare minimum to get an A or B in the class), but more seriously as of late since i developed in actual interest in it. ive also studied other languages (also very sporadically) with somewhat less dedication. at one point i changed my target language from french to german, then back to french, because german is hard.
I don't really have anything else to say about myself

Basically, you know that weird kid in school that didn't really talk but could occasionally be found under tables or in trees or communing with random pets and wildlife that wandered by an generally had some very foreign food item or facsimile of a medieval weapon made of sticks and twine on hand?

I've been into SSSS for a couple of weeks now, after seeing one too many posts about this mysterious Scandinavian webcomic with a heckton of coppertops (MY PEOPLE!

So I figured it was time to lurk myself out of the shadows and engage with people since y'all seem like a pretty interesting lot.

My hobbies include: collecting pixel pets on the internet (I actually found the comic through a dragon-collecting game called Flight Rising), reading many different webcomics on a semi-regular basis, reading other kinds of books whenever I have a spare moment or several, and cross stitch as well as knitting. I do cross stitch more than knitting, and usually when I'm watching youtube or a movie so I can have something to do while I sew.
I noticed a lot of people talking about languages on here, and I have a very very *very* basic knowledge of German. I always meant to study it properly... one day, I guess!
Anyway, I look forward to meeting you guys as I start posting around and such.

Sounds like you'll fit in great. < 3 Welcome aboard.
(ooh, knitting! There are several of us here with that hobby, including myself. < 3 Always nice to see more knitters around.)

I'm a 25 year old French citizen who currently lives in Boston, USA, at this very moment posting from the very lovely country of Norway!
(It's been about 5 years since I last left the USA, and I'm super happy to be visiting some just married friends here in Norway, and then family and friends in Paris. I have to say that this comic was a part of what inspired me to come out here!)
I work in tech support, and do art in the rest of my time (you can find me at weasyl.com/~fleetfoot (http://weasyl.com/~fleetfoot) and fleetfoot.deviantart.com (http://fleetfoot.deviantart.com)). Most of what I post on those sites are 2D/digital illustrative works, but I do knit/crochet/spin a fair bit on days where I don't want to think quite as much while I craft.
I've moved all over the world, and enjoy traveling. I love animals and nature, and my art definitely reflects this. (Hiking/camping anyone?) I also very much enjoy learning about cultures and languages. I'm less good at the rote memorization part of things, but sign me up for learning odd trivia! I enjoy cooking, traditional folk songs, and contra dancing.
I found SSSS I think through the hiveworks as I was trying to find some new webcomics to get back into and gosh did I fall in love with this one! (It contains many of my favourite things!)
I didn't realize there was a forum until someone in the comics pointed me this way, so here I am!
Cheers~!

I'm a musician, I've been playing piano since I was a wee little one and I've been teaching piano lessons to beginners for about seven-ish years now. I've also doodled around with trying to learn the violin and harp. Sometimes I cosplay, I've been to a few cons but a lot of my sewing is just for pleasure because I think designing and making my own clothes is fun and a neat creative outlet. I love going for adventures and being out in the woods and by the lake and what not c:
A little fun fact for people who aren't too familiar with Michigan's upper peninsula is that sometime a while ago, I'm guessing probably sometime in the late 1800's or early 1900's, there was a major wave of Finnish migration here. So almost all of my friends who were born in Michigan's upper peninsula are of Finnish descent and a lot of them speak Finnish. So, even before I read SSSS I had some interest in the Finnish language and some Finnish folklore based on the neat things my friends told me and were nice enough to teach me :3

We had several waves of Finnish migration here in Australia too: to Victoria during and after the Goldrush, to Queensland from late 1800s to mid 1950s, here in South Australia from the 1800s to about 1970s.
Looking forward to seeing you about the Forum.

Hi Juniper! Good to have you here. Quite a number of us hiking/nature/camping/folk music fans here already. The Finnish connection to your part of the world is known, some of the other Michiganders here have mentioned it, and SectoBoss used the idea in a delightful 1920s AU fanfic.

Really now ? I know a lot of people even from lower Michigan who don't know about that tidbit so I'm really glad it's known ! It's also meant lotsa friends with saunas in their houses which has been a very wonderful convenience during the winter =p
The SSSS community just keeps on looking more and more wonderful between the love of foreign language / language discussions going on and now apparently lotsa hiking/nature/camping/folk music lovers, this is like a dream come true !

Oh, before I forgot, take a welcome cookie ! :squirrelcookie:
Well, we do Minnion Meetups. No reason one can't be a camping trip. Especially if we have people even on the same continent, grumble grumble (I'm in Australia).Yes we do Minnion Meetups ! :D *Waves from near to Paris* Take a look at the thread and don't hesitate to say if you go here or there, we like to meet the others and for what I lived, it's always good moments :)

I was born in Taipei, Taiwan, and have four elder sisters and six cousins, all of whom I'm familiar with. I moved to Hong Kong when I was 18 because the Hong Kong University of Stress and Tension (Science and Technology) in my 3rd year, and I'm studying Economics.
I enjoy hiking, F:NV, BL2, creative writing and various books.
I am fluent in Cantonese, Taiwanese, Mandarin (duh) and English, and have a 2nd grade diploma in playing the alto/baritone saxophone, and also very rudimentary skills in Spanish and Russian (I can count to one hundred and ask for the menu or a coffee).
I found SSSS via Hiveworks from SMBC.
I am subject to very occasional bursts of idiocy and unwarranted hostility to nice people, usually around 0700 to 0930 (that's what my friends tell me, I have no idea if it's accurate).
I own a pair of kissing gouramis and even though I know they're fighting they still look cute to me.

I'm a girl from Poland, quite young to be honest (I'm reaching 19 this year). In October I'll start studying on a university, probably in Poland. I've got a younger sister. Oh, and I am also a property of three independent cats ;)
I should also mention that while considering myself as a witch I am still believing in God (no, seriously, it is my faith, quite complicated, isn't it?) To these who know something about the subject; I am not on a wiccan path, though many times they become the source of my inspiration. I just follow my own way.
As a person who loves to create stories and write I am interested in everything, from cryptography (the basics of the subject) through folklore to the theatre. Also, I am struggling to improve my drawing skills, scetching mostly characters from my head. Beacuse I just love fantasy books (especially written by sir Terry Pratchett or by Polish authors, which are just fantastic) and playing computer games gives me a lot of fun I attend many conventions, mostly as an volunteer.
My adventure with webcomics begun, when I've started reading Polish webcomic, The Colours of Poverty (Barwy Biedy) by Ilona Myszkowska and Katarzyna Babis (actually quite funny and disturbing comic, very good one). When I was searching for other webcomics I've found SSSS and fallen in love with it. So, here I am :D
And the last thing; people say that I am crazy. Just so you know ;)

Juniper is right, I lived in the lower part of Michigan for some years and while I knew there were (unspecified) Scandanavian descendants in "da UP," we heard more about the connection to Cornwall miners. I'm disappointed I missed out having a proper sauna when I was up there.

Well, we do Minnion Meetups. No reason one can't be a camping trip. Especially if we have people even on the same continent, grumble grumble (I'm in Australia).Yaaass. Well once I'm back at home in the USA, I'd be down for a NE coast camping meetup if there is one floating around/in planning. I'm guessing there's probably a thread around somewhere for meetups?
Yes we do Minnion Meetups ! :D *Waves from near to Paris* Take a look at the thread and don't hesitate to say if you go here or there, we like to meet the others and for what I lived, it's always good moments :)I'm actually flying back to Paris for a quick day and a bit stopover before we (me and most of my immediate family) go to Dunkerque for the weekend to attend a wedding. After then I'm back in Paris/Pantin and staying with a friend until I fly out on the 14th.
Trying to meet up with new friends on the fly miiiight just be a tad ambitious for this already packed trip, but I definitely travel here in France every couple of years or so visiting family, so if I don't turn completely into a lurker on this board, I'll be in contact!

Hey, I'm Jhev and I'm also pretty sure I started reading the SSSS prologue when it was only a chapter long then I forgot about it... what I fool I've been. Anyways, I'm 16 (so basically a smol child), live on the east coast of the USA, and am female. I'd probably never even go on a forum if not for that I caught up on the very last day of the chapter. Sooo, kind of like Juniper before me, my dad's family is from Minnesota (though I never lived there) in a completely Norwegian community, so my grandpa only spoke Norwegian until high school. Sadly his idea of teaching someone another language is to say something in Norwegian and then go 'Now what did I say?' So yeah I was already interested in all this stuff before I knew about the comic and the fact I found a Scandinavian one was extra super cool.
aaand now I'm thinking I need to draw myself a cool avatar too.

Hehe, your grandpa sounds a lot like mine, Jhev! My great-grandparents were from Poland but my grandpa was born in the U.S. and didn't retain very much Polish. So when we were little and would ask how to say things in Polish, he would make things up. ^_^
(Also, if the forum didn't like the picture you tried to use for an avatar, you may need to try making it smaller? I seem to remember having trouble uploading a file that was too big. Of course, your Emil avatar is good too. :) )

Hi! It seems this is the thread for newcomers to introduce themself, so hello! I'm Ix, I'm from the US and I speak English, but I've been trying to learn Swedish lately (It's been hard since I have memory issues and attention problems and I forget everything I learn. Other than the swear words, but that's different, heh). I have mostly Swedish ancestry, I go by they/them pronouns, and I discovered SSSS about a week ago last Monday and finished it last Friday. I do draw quite a bit, but I don't have access to digital art programs or tools like tablets so if I post any art you can expect it to not be the best or the highest-quality. My favorite kind of cookies are either butter cookies, chocolate chip, or kringla; My favorite movies alternate but I'll always have a soft spot for the lame early 2000s live-action Scooby Doo movie purely because of how bad it is; And my favorite color's teal! Aaaaand what else to add? My favorite character in SSSS has got to be either Tuuri or Sigrun! But yeah, I've read SSSS all the way to the recent chapter break, and I'd love to talk about that if anyone wants to PM me or something!

Welcome, Ix! They may not be on your list of favorites (yet), but have some squirrel cookies: :squirrelcookie: :squirrelcookie: :squirrelcookie: If you're looking for people to commiserate with you over the ups and downs of learning Swedish, there's a thread in the language board. And please, post some of your art in the art museum! I personally love seeing a new artist's style pop up there, and we can always use more offerings to the SigrunVoid and more adorable Tuuri's! So welcome once again!
P.S. Teal is a great color :)
Ha, thanks for the squirrel cookies!! I'll have to check out the Language Board asap, talking with other people who're learning it or who speak it would be nice! I'll be sure to get onto posting my art, too - I agree that Sigrun and Tuuri need more art!! Thank you for the welcome~
P.S. Yeah, it's awesome!!!
Hello and welcome, Ix! As you look around the forum you will find the Language Board, where I'm sure people can help you with Swedish. Have fun!
Hello to you, too! Thanks for the welcome, I'll definitely check out the Language Board now! Thank you!
Welcome Ix! We're a cool bunch and I bet you'll be able to get help in Swedish
Thank you! You guys seem awesome!
Welcome to the forum and have some :squirrelcookie: :squirrelcookie: :squirrelcookie:

Helloooo. Random Canadian, here. Usually called Anna but answer to various permutations of my username as well. Devoured SSSS in a single sitting a month or so ago and have been an addict since. I'm a fannish type – mostly writing, sometimes meta, neither of them too often – so this seems to be a good place for me to be. Right now I mostly live on Tumblr (seventybyheart) if anyone wants to find me there, though I'm around LJ and DW too at intervals.

Helloooo. Random Canadian, here. Usually called Anna but answer to various permutations of my username as well. Devoured SSSS in a single sitting a month or so ago and have been an addict since. I'm a fannish type – mostly writing, sometimes meta, neither of them too often – so this seems to be a good place for me to be. Right now I mostly live on Tumblr (seventybyheart) if anyone wants to find me there, though I'm around LJ and DW too at intervals.
Wooo! More canadians! Welcome! I hope you like it here :)

Heyo. Found SSSS via a post on Imgur. It's pretty cool, mostly impressed by the trigger discipline displayed by the characters.
Other than that, I live in the US, southern California to be specific. IlikeLOVE ancient history and warfare. Romans and Hellenistic warfare is my jam, I've just finished reading a book on the Seleucid Army. I've backtracked to the death of Alexander and the bitter struggle for his empire. Also planning to join the US Army, go infantry, complete jump school and hopefully get into the 173rd airborne division. Not really anything else that's too notable about me, so... Fin?
Go Airborne! Best of luck to you- jump school is not an easy task to complete. I too am a history buff, though only when it has to do with aviation... How come there's no degree for that? Anyway, welcome to the forum!
(And yes, the SSSS crew has pretty good trigger discipline. Though Emil could work on aiming before he shoots.)
Post by: Restrepo on April 24, 2016, 11:59:36 PM
Welcome Restrepo :) A cookie before speaking about History ? :squirrelcookie:
I'm on a diet no thanks... Just kidding, I actually need to gain weight. Therefore, thanks for the much needed calories.
Welcome Restrepo! My seal will play for you the martial anthem of ancient Rome!
*Toot-Toot*
That was terrible seal.
That still seals the deal though. And music is music, no?
Welcome, Restrepo! History and military enthusiast - you should fit right in around here! Welcome!
Hopefully I'll be able to get involved in the community a little more. Thinking of starting a thread about the role of the military during the pandemic, but I dunno.

My brother (just got of the army three weeks ago) said that it wasn't too hard. Then again, he was a very good soldier, guess I'll see if I'm better than him. And you could always make a degree for your flying stuff! not sure if that's possible or even legal
Yeah, I think it would be a better option for Emil to be forced to use semi-automatic, maybe that way he'll actually aim rather than spray 'n' pray all willy nill with his rooty tooty point and shoot. As a side note, why do they just take out their knives? Logically a bayonet would be superior in most circumstances. Spear and club all in one. Although humans, no matter their training, have a nasty tendency to use everything like a club when they become panicked. Allegedly, even the most well trained soldiers will revert to chopping with a sword even if he's been trained to stab with it. I think during the Civil War soldiers tended to club with their rifles rather than bayonet.

Think there's a few threads there in the SSSS Board. Might have to dig a bit for them.

Hiya, I'm Talimee. *waves* I'm 37 years old and what is called a long-time-student (which has given me issues, but let's not talk about that). I am interested in many things but cannot hold my interest for long - so I have assembled a hodgepodge of knowledge about arts, history, literature, nature, astronomy, geology, meteorology, archeology, medicine and alternative medicine, theology, politics and so on. Things that elude me are philosophy and music. I don't know why. So you can imagine that in my virtual strolls around here I have already picked up a lot of interesting facts and opinions and I want to thank you all for that.
As for my hobbies: During the last years it was mainly Gaming and Knitting/Crocheting but being around so many great artists and writers here I have found my courage to start writing again (and to a lesser extant: drawing). I have not created anything for years and right now it is an uphill-struggle to produce anything worthwhile but I hope I will become better at it for this. The all-around encouragement of this fandom is very helpful in trying things out. Thank you for that as well. =)
So. That's that out of the way. ^^;

Hope you'll enjoy being here!Well, yeah. I still think it looks pretty bad though. And yeah, I'll probably write some things. That is, if you all are interested in me putting the entire cast through hell and my love of horror, both psychological and in the sort of monster sense.

I'm a bit of a writer, love military history and medieval period stuff. I read a ludicrous amount, mostly fantasy and a good amount of sci-fi. I've picked up a black belt along with some basic lessons in kendo and escrima fighting. I can be a bit...enthusiastic when it comes to RPing, but learning to mediate that. Love SSSS.

SSSS was a random "WHAT IS THAT CUTE ART FROM" and a google search later it took over my life somewhere around the beginning of chapter 10.

I read SSSS after someone in my stream chat mentioned it to me, and fell in love with it. I also went and read aRTD because someone told me to; that was a very satisfying comic to read.
I was impressed by the musicality of Finnish and am now trying to learn it, which is actually easier than people are telling me it is. But everything's easier than Gaelic, soo..... (I don't know Gaelic; I tried and failed to learn it because I just couldn't get the sounds down.) I'm super excited to try and reread aRTD once I've learned more.
Anyway, hi!

I never really remember how I found good things in my life, so I don't remember how I found SSSS. It was the same day when the page 202 (http://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=202) was published and I suspect it was through some other comic or because I had one of my "I need more comics in my life" -moments.
Finnish is my first language and I'm pretty fluent in English (my pronunciation sucks, tho). I'm on-off studying Swedish because Finnish school system didn't give me in this matter anything that would stay in my head, and I studied German for short period of time (I have forgotten most of what I learned).

Here and pretty much everywhere, I go under the name WrittenEmber. You can call me that, or just Ember. I'm a year older than Onni, about as tall as Emil or Lalli, and the only person on the team with hair shorter than mine is Tuuri. If the rash illness strikes I'll be out of luck, since I currently reside in the snowless, troll-friendly desert regions of the southwestern US. I also have no cats, though other critters abound.
I came to SSSS after reading aRTD, a comic I first found just about the time that Bear showed up at the Foxes' family meeting. I set it aside with the intent of coming back when it was further along. Imagine my surprise -- and pleasure -- when I rediscovered the comic only to learn that it had not only advanced significantly, but was actually complete! And that the same creator had begun another story! Naturally, as soon as I finished my aRTD binge, I came to check out SSSS. This was during the troll attack on the Dalahästen train, and I was so intrigued by everything going on that I immediately undertook a binge-read from the beginning. Needless to say, it left me hooked. It is one of the few webcomics that I keep up with on a daily basis (the only other being Girl Genius); for most comics, I only catch up every few months, sometimes only once a year or even longer. But I can't stay away from SSSS for more than a day or two.
When not reading SSSS, my hobbies include reading, writing, archery, felting, and too much internet. I dabble in language learning, but have yet to become conversant in anything. I like to collect things, play mobile and PC games, and watch documentaries. I'm pretty decent at calligraphy, unpracticed at piano, and a happy mess at watercolors. I always hike with my lightning-struck walking staff in hand. International travel is a long-term goal of mine; in fact, I'm toying with the idea of making Worldcon 75 my first trip.
I do read the Disqus comments, but rarely say anything myself. I usually read from my phone, which makes it difficult to comment, and I often don't have time enough to properly catch up with the discussion anyway. I'm hoping to be more active here on the forum, however, since I enjoy actually taking part in the conversation.

Yes, one of the reasons I was drawn to the comment section and then to the forum is because people here often talk about things that interest me that I don't often see being talked about elsewhere. Something about SSSS seems to draw people of a certain bent, and it's so nice to share my odd angles with like-minded folk. ;)
Making a tent sounds like quite an undertaking! I've not done much flat felting myself, just small pieces. Mostly I do 3D figures, especially of animals. I'll have to find the appropriate place on the board to share pictures.
Can't wait to see all of you around the forum. Thank you all for the warm welcome! ;D

If the rash illness strikes I'll be out of luck, since I currently reside in the snowless, troll-friendly desert regions of the southwestern US. I also have no cats, though other critters abound.
I came to SSSS after reading aRTD, a comic I first found just about the time that Bear showed up at the Foxes' family meeting. I set it aside with the intent of coming back when it was further along. Imagine my surprise -- and pleasure -- when I rediscovered the comic only to learn that it had not only advanced significantly, but was actually complete! And that the same creator had begun another story! Naturally, as soon as I finished my aRTD binge, I came to check out SSSS. This was during the troll attack on the Dalahästen train, and I was so intrigued by everything going on that I immediately undertook a binge-read from the beginning. Needless to say, it left me hooked. It is one of the few webcomics that I keep up with on a daily basis (the only other being Girl Genius); for most comics, I only catch up every few months, sometimes only once a year or even longer. But I can't stay away from SSSS for more than a day or two.
When not reading SSSS, my hobbies include reading, writing, archery, felting, and too much internet. I dabble in language learning, but have yet to become conversant in anything. I like to collect things, play mobile and PC games, and watch documentaries. I'm pretty decent at calligraphy, unpracticed at piano, and a happy mess at watercolors. I always hike with my lightning-struck walking staff in hand. International travel is a long-term goal of mine; in fact, I'm toying with the idea of making Worldcon 75 my first trip.
I do read the Disqus comments, but rarely say anything myself. I usually read from my phone, which makes it difficult to comment, and I often don't have time enough to properly catch up with the discussion anyway. I'm hoping to be more active here on the forum, however, since I enjoy actually taking part in the conversation.

Hi, everyone! It sort of occurred to me that I should introduce myself here before I make too much of a fool of myself on the rest of the forums. I'm lilith_queen, though if you bump into me on tumblr I'm notapaladin. I'm a perpetually unemployed former history student with a degree in Nerd. (Well...history, which is pretty much the same thing.) I like writing, playing entirely too much World of Warcraft, and researching random facts about pretty much everything. Sadly, if the Rash hits I am probably doomed; not only do I live right smack in the middle of New York City, I don't even have a cat! (I wish I did, though.) I freely admit that I'm not the best at reading social cues, but you might not find a more enthusiastic shipper and fic-reviewer.Yay! Welcome, lilith_queen!

I was also told that the cookies here are more trustworthy than the ones I was offered on Disqus... I guess we'll wait and find out!
I'm BlueSkyVail (figured maybe I should introduce myself). I'm 16, live in Colorado, like figure skating and skiing, and as I mentioned earlier am dangerously obsessed with Minna's work. Hm... What else... *quietly* I'm, uh, an enthusiastic shipper of Emil and Lalli, so, uh, yeah... Nobody heard that, right? I have nothing to be ashamed of. I also (from what I've participated in on the comments) love the community here. Everyone's so friendly and eager to welcome new people with squirrel-cookies and blankets, and it's just so welcoming for someone new like me. I just wanted to say that I really like that.
I don't really know what else is important that I should write so I guess I'll just start with this.

I'm relatively new here, as is obvious. I've been following SSSS for a few weeks now (after binge-reading until I was caught up) and I am absolutely obsessed! A friend of mine showed it to me saying "the plot is interesting" and "the art is good" and at this point, I'm afraid my obsession has gone a little bit farther than he said it might. Oh well.

Welcome!
As far as 'normal', the SSSS Board contains all the topics you could need. I, personally, would recommend finding the thread 'Things Mikkel Madsen Is Not Allowed To Do'. It hasn't been updated in a while, but what's there is hilarious. There's poetry, realism comparisons, discussions on exactly how trolls and beasts work, etc. Also, vast quantities of amazing fanfic and fanart.
There's a child board to the SSSS Board for people who write a character for the SSSSverse. We've currently got a 2nd Expedition RP going on, if you're into that.
On this board, you can pretty much talk about anything. There's a search function, and I recommend you use it before starting a new thread. Not sure if there's anything about skiing or figure skating, but hey, there might be! There's also two or three RP's going on here, one pretty much exclusively for OCs from all brands of fiction.
Oh, and remember to acknowledge Purple Wyrm's geode.

I think it's pretty straightforward around here, but it's never a bad idea to read the Forum Rules, (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=3.0) and the help section is there if you need it! (Warning: help section does not aid with Emil-Lalli shipping feels :P )
So welcome, and have a look around! We've got art, fanfiction, and lively discussions about the comic, all of which I heartily recommend. I hope you enjoy it here! ^-^

Nice to meet you too! Also, is your avatar from Ava's Demon? Because if it is that was one of the first webcomics I ever read--a long, long time ago. I am probably hopelessly behind at this point but I had forgotten about it.Yes, my avatar is from Ava's Demon! Love that webcomic, Maggie is still my favorite fictional character of all time (though Lalli is a close second :) )

I've been meaning to try it out, but I'm not sure where to start from and keep forgetting to ask XD It seems everything else I would say has been said mostly, so I'll leave it at there :3I'm surrounded by digital artists. I'm quite serious when I say most of my close friends do digital art. Can't escape them, and I've wanted to give it a try. But you don't have to give in to peer pressure like I did, though I do believe digital art is very rewarding if it's your type of thing!

Well I started off with zombie fiction (Romero films, Zombie Survival Guide, World War Z book, etc) I also enjoy post-nuclear fiction like the Fallout series, The City of Ember, A Canticle for Leibowitz... And post-plague fiction like The Years of Rice And Salt and of course, SSSS.

Hello! I'm yet another generic nerd. I enjoy post-apocalyptic fiction, and was drawn to SSSS for, well, obvious reasons.

Hello! I'm Nanao From Finland, I'm not sure if I've ever logged into any fan forum or the like. I like this comic and it's exciting to see work in English which touches Funnish Culture, I don't think there is any other like this in that sense. I like especially Tuuri and Reynir and alko read manga.
I hope I'm not being rude, but I like the typo 'Funnish' a lot. It says "Finnish culture is fun" :)

i guess to further introduce myself, i like writing and kind of wish i could write fanfiction more often! i used to a little bit, but years of public and formal education incline me mostly to writing essays these days instead, unfortunately. -_-' i draw a little bit, but mostly go for the standard of "recognizable." i'd love to participate in the exchange of fanwork, but frankly critical analysis and unabashed discussion are what does it for me, so i win out either way, huh? :P um, also i speak a couple of other languages (but not very well), and i'll probably add them as flags to my signature when i figure out how to!
looking forward to finally contributing to the forum with you all instead of just lurking!
Post by: Tr on June 28, 2016, 09:43:19 PM

The code for the signature flags is
Code: [Select]
:country name: if that helps.

no, it doesn't seem to be working :( ahh, i'll figure it out some other time!Hello and welcome! I had problems with the flags, so make sure there are no spaces in the country name, and that it's all lowercase. Maybe that'll fix your problem?
Post by: John Candlebury on June 28, 2016, 11:42:35 PM
Hope I'll see you around in the art and writing threads!

On the topic of flags, you can find the supported countries in here (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=416.0). If the country of your choosing is not showing, it might not be supported.
Post by: Auxivele on June 28, 2016, 11:45:53 PM
no, it doesn't seem to be working :( ahh, i'll figure it out some other time!Well for example, to get the Wales flag (:wales:), you would type in
Code: [Select]
:wales:The US flag (:usa:) would be
Code: [Select]
:usa:The Spanish flag (:spain:) would be
Code: [Select]
:spain:And so on. Does that help?Edit: it was already said while I was typing this up, but I suppose repetition doesn't hurt XD
Post by: Miriam on June 29, 2016, 04:12:12 AM
no, it doesn't seem to be working :( ahh, i'll figure it out some other time!
What languages do you want to get? After some struggle I found out that for English, you have to write UK in lowercase letters, so you get :uk: and :UK: doesn't work. Also, the flags are only possible in your signature and in messages, not in your personal text.

Hmm... to introduce myself. I arrived at SSSS partway through chapter 10. The comic and the kindness of the fans make me smile and feel warm even when other things are a little rough, and I get the impression from her comments that's at least some of what Minna hopes her work can do for people. So I thought I'd join the fun! I'm fairly private about most of my life, but I do like talking about SSSS and related things.
I also have to say I've really enjoyed the fanart and fanfic people have published here, thanks for sharing it!
I don't have much experience with forums, so if you need to point something out or offer me general guidelines or something please do!

Hello everyone! My name is Emily as you can tell from my username (which I still cannot believe was available, since my name is so common), and I'm from New Jersey, USA (despite the stigma, it's actually a pretty cool place)! As for my age, I'm not sure if that's a popular thing to disclose on this site, but I'd rather not. Getting into the reason why I love SSSS today is pretty sad. I had this Internet friend from France (his name was Rosaire) and he was simply one of the kindest people I ever came across. He loved webcomics, and SSSS was one of his favorites. He disappeared one day, and judging by his last post, I'm going to assume that he...erm, how do I put it without seeming insensitive?..."has gone to a better place." I miss him every day. Anyways, I wanted to better understand the things that he enjoyed, so I started reading SSSS and ended up falling in love!
I think I've probably included a lot more information than necessary, but anyways -- here I am! Expect to see more posts from me sometime soon~
I apologize for the copious amount of effects I've used; I just wanna try them out. :P

I suspect I may be one of the older folks on this forum - I'm Taru's age - and I'm not quite a digital native. For instance, this is actually the first webcomic I ever read. (A Redtail's Dream is obviously going to be the second!) I am used to stories being in books, but I like the idea of serialisation. SSSS makes me feel like one of the early readers of Dickens or Trollope, when they published their novels in instalments.
I have been living (for the last eight years, though probably not for much longer) in Orkney, a bit of Scotland that was previously a Danish, and before that a Norwegian, colony. I like Japanese rock music, Swedish pop music, Scottish folk music, Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Firefly, road cycling, editing/directing/singing Gregorian chant, and stonecarving. I have been a monk, an author and a farm labourer (not all at the same time - though I suppose that would be possible); my current jobs involve showing people round a 5000-year-old village, and curating an exhibition about the Russian Civil War; and I am about to start training as an archivist.

*nod nod* Some of us appreciate the virtual nature of the cookies these days. We call it "Life Experience," and it sounds like you've got it in spades. I'm between Taru and Trond myself. I've never been to Orkney, but it sounds fascinating, and as the parent of a young violinist who has fallen in love with Scots fiddle, a trip to such places has entered the bucket list. Welcome!

Try and come for the Orkney Folk Festival, which happens every year towards the end of May - that's also a good time to come, weather-wise (usually)!

Hi, I'm a very new reader, having binged on SSSS over three days last week, and now we're at p. 563 and how can I possibly live without knowing what happens next? So I guess I'm going to be here for a while. I introduced myself in the comments box on that page under my secret codename Ben Whitworth. My real name is FoxDei. Actually, this was the username I came up with when I joined the subreddit for my other fanboy obsession, the Japanese kawaii metal band BABYMETAL, but hey, it makes just as much sense over here!
I suspect I may be one of the older folks on this forum - I'm Taru's age - and I'm not quite a digital native. For instance, this is actually the first webcomic I ever read. (A Redtail's Dream is obviously going to be the second!) I am used to stories being in books, but I like the idea of serialisation. SSSS makes me feel like one of the early readers of Dickens or Trollope, when they published their novels in instalments.
I have been living (for the last eight years, though probably not for much longer) in Orkney, a bit of Scotland that was previously a Danish, and before that a Norwegian, colony. I like Japanese rock music, Swedish pop music, Scottish folk music, Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Firefly, road cycling, editing/directing/singing Gregorian chant, and stonecarving. I have been a monk, an author and a farm labourer (not all at the same time - though I suppose that would be possible); my current jobs involve showing people round a 5000-year-old village, and curating an exhibition about the Russian Civil War; and I am about to start training as an archivist.
Welcome to the forum! You sound like an interesting person! (nice to see more firefly fans around here!)

So, Greetings!
My name is Rhynerd (which means "a nerdy Ryan" in terms of my family, or for the Anglo-Saxons it means "army" or "counsel"). I'm 21 years old, born and raised in Tampa Florida, but primarily living in Orlando now while I study Creative Writing (formerly Graphic Art) at the University of Central Florida. Those of us also on Disqus may remember me introducing myself like so:
Quote
Apologies in advance for the upcoming pun/play on words/most fitting term for what I'm about to say:Language wise I'm only fluent in English, but I have studied German and ASL a bit.
Tune in next week for the jaw-dropping conclusion to this encounter!
If there's a niche for model makers, model painters, detective radio show fans, sketchers, and writers, then I should (hopefully) feel at home here!
Oh! Almost forgot to mention, my icon at this point comes from the Finnish artist Setz (http://setzeri.tumblr.com/).

The name is Yeiii (it quinda fits me, I say it a lot). I'm a 26 yo Chilean girl, living in the big city of Santiago.
I'm an infant psychologist, currently working in a small clinic, and I love it!
I also like music (a play a bit of piano), Anime, cartoons like gravity falls and phineas and ferb, reading fantasy (The Name of the wind is my all time favorite, but also like everything that Brandon Sanderson writes) and I'm currently struggling with my own novel. Finally, I lately picked up on drawing and I like it (tho I'm still learning).
And that's it, like you can see I'm a super sportive tipe (not).
I got to this webcomic for a friend that didn't really gave me an option, she gave me the book and told me "sit down and read!". Now I thank her... And now I'm here in the forum trying to cope with the waiting and sharing a bit of art.
So, see ya!

I hope you enjoy it here! Welcome!

Welcome Yeiii! Here, have some squirrel cookies: :squirrelcookie: :squirrelcookie: :squirrelcookie: Many of us have been dragged here by insistent friends, so you're not alone :P . There are a few music threads, one for books, anime, writing, and definitely lots of art threads, so take a look around! And if you want to get the Chilean flag for your signature, you might want to suggest it over in the Improvements Thread, (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=16.585) as they often add flags on request! Welcome once again, and I hope you enjoy it here ;D

BlueSkyVail recommended Brandon Sanderson in the Books thread, so I went to investigate (i.e. raid my local library for Brandon Sanderson books) and I found The Alloy of Law and loved it. A lot. Then I found the other Wax and Wayne books and they were also amazing.
I guess my point here is that you have great taste in books.

Mistborn! It was my first Sanderson book. At this point, I've read basically all of them. I especially love Stormlight Archive and am waiting impatiently for the next one to come out!
Tr, If you Like Alloy of Law, definitely read Mistborn. It's set in the same world with the same magic system, and it's all the stuff that happened before Wax and Wayne's time.

I love animals (mostly turtles), gardening and linguistics, mainly polish . I can't live without books, especially fantasy; The Discworld has its special place in my heart.
I've been reading SSSS for about one and a half week by now and have already joined comments, somehow. I have also read A Redtail's Dream.
Alas, l've got some poor social skills, as far as meeting NEW people is concerned, and hence I feel incredibly anxious when writing this introduction. I hope I can somehow fit in this forum and have some great time with you people :)

I wish I were living in Europe. Mostly because of how much easier it is to learn more than one language (due to proximity to other languages), my $30,000 uni debt(free uni education?!?) and the rich HISTORY on nearly every inch of ground. OMG I LOVE history. I could talk for HOURS about ancient history.
I work in a library (where I am NOT allowed to READ! :'() and plan to go $50,000 more in debt to get my masters degree so I can get a full time job. Hurray! >:(
I have a terrible habit of pointing out plot-holes(loudly) in movies so people are embarrassed to go see films with me. Plot-holes are the worst though.
So, er, yeah that was a lot of random stuff about me! I'll be quiet now.

Alright, so I've been reading 4S, as I call it, since about the beginning of chapter 11, I think? In terms of where you older readers were then. I took me about a week to read the whole comic, and then promptly attempt to make everyone I knew read it as well. (That plan failed) I'm female, Canadian, speak French and English, and am learning Swedish but right now I can only say things like "Jag tycker om pasta." And that's really all you need to know!

Also random question... Why aren't the moderators called "Cleansers", as they deal with getting rid of trolls and making the forum a habitable place?
Also how does one do the magical language and region jazz in the signature?

I took me about a week to read the whole comic, and then promptly attempt to make everyone I knew read it as well. (That plan failed) I'm female, Canadian, speak French and English, and am learning Swedish but right now I can only say things like "Jag tycker om pasta." And that's really all you need to know!Welcome! o/ :sparkle::sparkle::sparkle:
Oh. Hi. Uh... Hi.Welcome, Frey! As for the flags, here (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=416.0) is the mystical guide to inserting them and whatnot. (Scroll down past the staff part.)
I started reading SSSS like last Decemberish? I never really did anything with the comments, and I hadn't heard about the forum until like 3 days ago. I popped on and posted a like free art commission thread and have posted a bit on the spamkingdom thing.
Also random question... Why aren't the moderators called "Cleansers", as they deal with getting rid of trolls and making the forum a habitable place?
Also how does one do the magical language and region jazz in the signature?

Stumbled upon the comic via a combination of seeing the language tree and my sister in law posting an article about cool comics in short succession. Devoured them quickly whilst pretending to work.
I consider myself a geek of many things (MMORPGS, RPGs, Fantasy Books, anthropology, languages, cooking, crafting, wood working, musicals, theater in general, special effects makeup etc) though I wouldn't claim to be an expert on much of anything.
I am married to a mega geek and am happily raising a wee geekling who is currently on his first playthroughs of Kingdom Hearts, Pokemon and readthrough of Redwall and learning French ::sniffle::.
I work for an absolutely amazing nonprofit hospital during the day and spend my nights building stuff for my house, reading, playing video games with the awesome dudes I get to be family to, gluten free baking (for said two awesome dudes who happen to have Celiac's), attempting to improve my penmanship and self in general. I am super excited to poke around and see what fun there is to be had! XoX

I'm Devon (Mersey's a really old handle but call me whatever), a grad student in art history/info science, artist, and lover of this comic! <3 I'm from the UK originally but have lived in the US (specifically Kentucky and North Carolina) for ages now that I feel like it's a part of me.

Welcome to the forums!
Personally I believe that the Appalachians will all but surely survive, perhaps with minimal loss of population in the SSSSverse. The population centers there are pretty isolated, and the only major cities are in the outer edges of Appalachia.

Ooh, nice, another Southern minnion! I'm also in Appalachia, and I've lived here since I was born. I believe we're only a few hours apart! I love the mountains, and the sprawling fields and woods and old, broken-down barns. The country makes my heart happy, and so does Great Smoky Mountains National Park (I don't get up there enough).
Glad to have you, Mersey! I look forward to getting to know you better. ^^

Thank you! And that's incredible honestly, usually things in the US are so spread so "only a few hours away" is really surprising! (As a hint, I go to a MAJOR Southeastern uni closer to the coast than the mountains.) But I'd love to chat about SSSS and nature!! Hiking/exploring around here has long been one of my favourite pastimes :)

Hello!
Oh nice :) I adapted my name from the Latin word "valere" (pronounced wa-lair-eh) which is a verb that loosely means "to be strong" or "to be victorious" with the dual meaning of "to be well." I get people in voice chats calling me variations of Valerie, Valor, etc. Haha x)

Gaeila is my real middle name. I live in Nashville, TN, United States. I have degrees from The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, (a BBA, which is essentially an MBA. Same teachers and texts as the MBA program) Tennessee State University (Top honors in Biochemistry and record GRE scores. Head-hunted all over the country for advanced degree programs) Was in the Ph.D./M.D. Molecular Pharmacology program at Vanderbilt University (full scholarship plus stipend plus bonunes to lure me from San Francisco).
And then I got hit by a truck. Completely disabled, and physically unable to perform lab work any more. It is a shame, because if that had not happened, we MIGHT now have much better treatments for serious burns (one of my research interests) and pain relief (another research interest.) It is lucky for me that childhood conditioning has made me a bit OCD about wearing seatbelts, because if I hadn't been wearing one, I definitely would have died.
I have expertise in quite a few disparate areas. Here are some of them:
1. Medical areas, both research and practical
2. Cooking. I was the food writer for The Knoxville Journal; a real job with a real newspaper for which I was paid real money.
3. Feline breeding and health care. I bred Siamese, then Tonkinese kittens on a very small scale for many years.
http://www.tonkinesekitten.com/ (no ads, cute kitten pictures, NO kittens for sale at this time.)
4. Music and song-writing. Years of piano lessons, self-taught on guitar, both classical and steel string. I was good enough to receive many invitations to join the Bluebird's Writer's Night; to perform at fund-raisers, and two pages in a book called "Looking for #1--Portraits and Passions of Nashville Songwriters".
I've lived in New York City; New York suburbs; small-town Michigan; Westport, Connecticut; Ann Arbor, Michigan; Paducah, Kentucky; Knoxville, Tennessee; and Nashville, Tennessee.
I'm married to an Electrical Engineer Product Developer, who has patents (though not the $$ stream from them--bad deal company) on well-known Mac products. He is also a PC developer.
My ethnic background is pretty mixed: Irish, Italian, Colonial era-Brit, Canadian, Scots, Polish, German, and probably some other nationalities I'm forgetting. My husband Don is 95% pure Norwegian and has in fact eaten lutefisk; though he doesn't recommend it.
I was one of the very first people on the Internet (aka ARPA) because of one of my sibling's jobs at NASA. Minna's comment community reminds me of those very early days--pre spam, most users both civil and intelligent; etc. etc.
Humans are complex beings and any intro. is necessarily a surface skim; however most other humans prefer succinct information packets. If this is TMI, let me know and I shall edit.

so, I've been reading SSSS for a little while now, but haven't really commented or anything until recently. I mean, you guys seem like such nice people, how could I resist? I've seen y'all got a buncha flags and whatnot so I guess this is relevant; I live in the US and only speak English, unfortunately. Though I'm learning latin, so hopefully that'll stem into more languages, I also have a general interest in etymology, which is how i found SSSS- Minna's fancy language tree.

I graduated from college this past spring with a degree in Chinese, and a minor in Linguistics, so of course I love Minna's language tree. (Well, I love everything Minna does, but especially the language tree.)
My Mandarin is not bad, and I'm making good headway on Classical Chinese, too. I used to be able to read Old English, but I've got no other languages... Sometimes I feel like if I'd picked a Germanic or Romance language to study I could speak three of them by now >:(, but that's probably just sour grapes.
Right now I'm in Beijing, studying Chinese for a year on scholarship from the Chinese government, mostly because I didn't know what else to do. As you can probably tell from my username, Beijing is a pretty important city to me. I lived here last year for six months, even missed my flight home because I feel in love with a Russian girl and wanted to stay... but that's a story for another time.
Anyway it's very good to meet all of you! I look forward to

I'm a soon-to-be 21-year-old American college student studying astronomy and history. I use she/her pronouns. My parents are both immigrants, my father from Finland and my mother from the Netherlands, so all my family is in Europe and I've visited both countries many times. Unfortunately, I don't really speak either Dutch or Finnish, but I can understand conversational Dutch and I'm trying to learn some more on Duolingo. Finnish, on the other hand, is an enigma. I can count to five and say "Good night" and "Thanks", but that's about it.
Anyway, a friend of mine recommended SSSS to me at dinner a week or two ago, and I am now caught up! It's astounding, easily the best webcomic I've ever read...I can't get over how incredible the art is! I'm a self-taught artist myself, but I'm kind of at that level where I'm better at drawing than your average person but have just enough awareness about art to know that I'm not good. Minna's backgrounds make me want to cry!
I'm super excited to have found this Nordic webcomic community that I didn't know existed. Looking forward to being in the fandom with you guys!

Welcome welcome, finndutchican! Eee, I love astronomy! I also know next to nothing about it XD Hope to see you around on here! :))
I got into astronomy when I watched Star Trek as a kid, and here I am xD You should find out if there are any planetariums or observatories near you that have open telescope nights! The one at my school does, and I often help out, and watching people see Saturn through a telescope for the first time is a magical and humbling experience.
I love your "absolutely barbaric" profile pics. Maybe papa Rome can bring come CIVILIZATION to the plebeians in the north. :^)
It's funny, every time I look at my profile pic I hear the words in a British accent...makes you realize how often Brits play Romans in movies (often due to parallels between the two empires)

Anyway. You can call me Kip or Asa or just my username I guess.
Just a German-born German/Polynesian here. Spent most of my life living in the ol US of A (unfortunately). California and most recently now, North Dakota.
Kinda directionless college dropout. Came upon this comic on a whim when looking for something to binge on and I was a little entranced by it (offensive hiccup aside?). I find it kinda inspiring. As an artist it sort of makes me want to try to work on comics again if I can ever find the time...
Oh! I love languages too. Can't really speak anything but English, but I'm really stoked to try to learn/relearn some languages now that I have more free time and idle hands. I'm under the impression this is a community that fosters that?

I'm a university student double majoring in Computer Science and French, which is probably one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. I would describe myself as someone who really, really loves school. Or at least, the academic part of it. I love reading, drawing, learning languages, knitting, and playing my violin. At the moment, I live in a Mysterious Location in the United States. I immigrated to the U.S. with my parents a while ago because of some problematic things back home, but America's okay, so everything's going pretty well. :)
I've been obsessed with learning as many languages as I can ever since I was younger, but I think it's natural that I would be considering most of my family knows 3 languages at the very least. On a normal day in my house you can hear 3 different languages being spoken, it's wild. I learnt English at the same time as I learnt Igbo, which is my native language, so I'd say I'm pretty fluent. I can understand a little Yoruba, but ... meh. It's just been spoken around me so much that eventually, some words made their way into my brain and won't get out. Then, I've been learning French for a while (Intermediate) and I took up Swedish a couple of months ago and I'm still at the basics. I have this weird, on-and-off relationship with Arabic and I honestly don't know what's going on, so I in the meantime I'm spekaing with one part of my family in English instead of Arabic. Very awkwardly. I just started looking at Icelandic, because my Icelandic friend is really good at convincing. Aaaand lastly, I'm considering maybe learning Vietnamese, for my girlfriend. Maybe.
I've been reading SSSS for about a year, thanks to my amazing friend that introduced me, but I never thought of joining the forum until a few days ago, oddly enough. :? It's nice to meet all of you

My native is Russian, I'm from Kamchatka peninsula, here are lots of mountains, sopkas (big hills), forests, volcanos and also there are a coast of the Avacha bay and the Pacific Ocean coast. Its cold and windy place, we have long winter and rainy-foggy summer. :) I have two jobs, I like reading, drawing and crafting (or handmading, don't know which is correct) in my spare time and... well, I like many things.

I study educational science and am currently finishing my bachelor's thesis. When I am not busy writing my thesis, I write fanfictions! Also I have been cosplaying since around 2007, and I dedicate a lot of my free time to volunteer work a local LGBT community project.
I probably forgot to say half the things I am supposed to mention :D
Oh yeah, once I am finished with my thesis, I would love to look for RP partners and people to talk about fanfiction writing with! I have an idea for a project, maybe someone wants to participate...

Greetings from the midwestern United States!

I spend a lot of my free time drawing, listing to podcasts, watching cartoons, and reading the occasional webcomic. Unfortunately I can only speak English but I recently, as of two weeks ago, started learning Swedish.Hey welcome, I'm also 17, homeschooled, and not entirely sure what I want to do with my life!

Hi, I'm Kmatie, and I guess I'm kinda new to the forum? Anyway, I'm 15 and from the Midwest (U.S.A), and go to a public school, where I do band (Bass Clarinet). I caught up with SSSS around Octoberish, I think. I only speak English, but next year I'll probably be taking Spanish. This is totally unrelated to everything, but have you ever seen a pelican yawn? It's really intense.

May I ask where the pelican did yawn at you?

And Gaemmel, I've seen you around Tumblr and AO3 a bit, I've been enjoying your fanfic! Nice to see you on the forum too. :))

Hi, I'm Kmatie, and I guess I'm kinda new to the forum? Anyway, I'm 15 and from the Midwest (U.S.A), and go to a public school, where I do band (Bass Clarinet). I caught up with SSSS around Octoberish, I think. I only speak English, but next year I'll probably be taking Spanish. This is totally unrelated to everything, but have you ever seen a pelican yawn? It's really intense.:sparkle: Welcome! :sparkle:

Yeah, I commented on your current project only a few minutes ago ;D It's really cool to finally be here and able to talk to all of the people I see on disqus, AO3 and sometimes tumblr, and the IRC!
Oh, I figure this might actually be a thing I could ask on this thread, too: Is there a place to go to learn all your cool forum commands? Like learning how to link people in your posts and do the flags and all this?

I am a bit odd Icelandic person living in my parents basement (literally XD) that currently goes to school more than work and reads SSSS along with other stuff in my spare time. I am BAD at social stuff, and am WORSE at it on the net, and have therefore in my years of having a computer and internet almost done nothing social with it. But then I started commenting in the SSSS comments, and I began to really like the people in the comics fandom. Before long I was invited to the SSSS chat, and I decided to check it out (my first chat). Before I knew it I had friends on the internet (*gasp*) and had experienced my first video chat. So after everything that SSSS has helped me in socializing here on the net, I decided to find the forum and give it a go.
So, that is my sucky intruduction. Hope I will enjoy myself here. I really love the SSSS comic and all the other people who love it. You guys are just GREAT! ;D

I am 26, an avid reader of comics and manga alike, a writer and aspiring author, and a somewhat eclectic collector of ball-joint-dolls. I am absolutely ecstatic to discover there is, indeed, an actual full forum for this wonderful, beautiful work of art that has been disguising itself as a simple webcomic. My housemate is the one who pointed me in this direction, and though I was reluctant to try and catch up on what seemed to be an insanely complex and intricate storyline that I feared I would be spoiled on before getting too far, I cannot thank her enough for continuing to suggest it and go so far as to borrow me her physical copies of both SSSS and A Redtail's Dream until I read both of them and caught up. Very much looking forward to what this comic and any future projects of Minna's will bring. :')
Also, I recently tried to join Discus(or whatever that discussion thing was) in order to try posting with the updated comic, but it failed miserably and errors out whenever I try to post anything now. If anyone would have any advice on what may have gone wrong I would greatly appreciate it. Otherwise participating in the discussion here will have to suffice.
Thank you for letting me join!

And then I promptly forgot all about SSSS because I happened to discover it right before finals week and I was a bit distracted.
And then I rediscovered it last month (again through TVTropes; I should have sent them a fruitcake for Christmas), and promptly archive-binged it the week before Christmas. I'm glad I did. I don't usually join fan-forums for things? But I lurked for a couple of days and finally decided to officially join you guys.
I'm a recent college graduate (B.A. in Creative Writing), and desperately trying to pay off student loans that are actually not that sizable (but it's still more money than I've seen in my entire life, ha!). I like reading and writing, I'm big into RPGs and roleplaying in general (used to do a bit on tumblr before I finally decided I'd had enough of that particular platform)... I'm basically a huge nerd.
I'm also terrible at introducing myself!
But it's wonderful to finally be here and I'm looking forwards to enjoying the rest of SSSS with you guys!
P.S how do you get those nifty flags and chapter ribbons into your signatures? I'm usually not bad when it comes to bbCode and the like but I cannot for the life of me figure it out!
Post by: thorny on January 09, 2017, 03:05:03 PM
thorny, thanks! I'll give it a go. Not very tech-savvy, I fear.

I'm Harper, a 26 year old PhD student from the USA. (I am a biologist, and I work on the neurobiology and behavior of insects and their response to environmental contaminants.) My distinct features, according to other people: I am great at finding animals (dead or alive) that others overlook, I have good balance, I am a deep but slow thinker, I am gullible, I am a bad liar, I either look as though I am frighted or as though I am frightening, I am curious about almost anything, I am physically strong, I might be a cat, I make excellent yeast bread, and I adore invertebrates.
I am currently embarking on my second read through SSSS. I seriously adore monsters, art, and friendship, so this is the webcomic for me. After I started to dream about this comic, and after I saw how friendly and creative the fandom was, I felt that I needed to intrude upon you all! So, uh, hi! You all seem so great!
All the best!

Welcome, Harper! And I look forward to conversations, being rather fond of invertebrates myself. I have a large garden full of interesting creatures, a nearby forest ditto, and I help to run the local community garden, where one of the highlights of the year for the local children is the emergence of the dragonflies from the ponds where we grow our aquatic plants.
I agree with you about the comic. Minna draws nature so well! See you around, I hope!
Oh the dragonfly emergence sounds fantastic! (And now I'm curious about what the aquatic plants are for.) Kids really seem to love the creepy crawlies don't they? I really love odonates in general- they're such amazing predators, their visual and motor systems are really cool, and they feature in a lot of folklore and art. I had a pond in my backyard growing up, and we would use the pond skimmer to pull out all sorts of organisms, including the big predatory dragonfly larvae!
Again, thanks for the welcome all!

If you're curious look up Mount Pleasant Community Garden, South Australia. Specify SA because every state in Australia has at least one Mount Pleasant except for the Northern Territory, and the name is also common in America and Canada.

I'm bad with words (y'all are so eloquent, I'm jealous) and have poor grammar and sentence structure, so don't be surprised if what I say is illegible, despite English being my native language. You can call me Ace if you'd like.
My interests are dying and being dead, and I'll mostly lurk around whilst I sob and wish I had the lovely sense of humor everyone else in this fandom has.
Excuse the run-on sentences and poorly gathered thoughts.
Little edit! After posting this, I've just noticed there's a member named Ace. But Blood is quite the unfitting name. Pick what you want, I suppose.

Run-on sentences and missing words/poorly-gathered thoughts will work just fine here (unless they're extremely disjointed sentences), but because so many here are not native English speakers, using local expressions and colloquialisms might result in confusion (I mean, local sayings rarely translate well as it is). That's my main finding, mostly via Disqus comment threads on the comic itself.

Dan, hello and welcome to the Forum! I think you'll like it here. Do you know the Forum has a thread for Webcomics by Minnions? You might want to put a link there.
I had heard that, but haven't been able to find it yet XD Such a big forum!
Post by: JacobThomsen on March 02, 2017, 10:43:49 AM
Hi! I've been following the comic for a long time, but am new to the forums XD
Welcome Dan :D Your comic looks interesting I think I'll check it out

Hi! I've been following the comic for a long time, but am new to the forums XD
I'm Dan, I live in the US of A, and I also make a post-apocalyptic comic (https://demonarchives.com) which I'm sure I'll spam in other more pertinent places.
Also, I totally won't be stealing ideas to make my forums as awesome as these ones ;)
DA was one of the first webcomics I found online! Welcome!

Some things you can expect from me is probably art and memes. Don't do many other things with my life.
If anyone is interested I also have a art tumblr (http://"cecetrash.tumblr.com") displaying all my art and a youtube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6_jbmZ5kxrRC9QcIZe0cpA) channel showing my speedarts. (Hopefully I'll do some SSSS stuff in the future)
So yee, that's all I have to say for now. Have a lovely day!

I was afraid to register here 'cause i belived that my english is awful, at least it was. (Still not perfect, but i'm practicing) Also I was inspired a lot to come here by heiteru while we participated in russian winter fandom contest. It's finished for now, so I'm allowed to finally show my works i've done for it. And i should mention that the winter was very hot and full of creative work for SSSS!
I think i won't spoil you with everything at once, and i'll post new material two or three times a week... maybe...
And yes, if you read Minna's twitter and you saw the cosplay photo of full group she reposted nearly month ago, that's was me also. Hope you like it, cause i have much more to share now. <3

Hi everybody! Not sure if I should re-introduce myself here, since I was active on this forum about a year ago (under the name Noodly Appendage), but figured I might as well. I probably won't be around all the time, because university is a lot of work it turns out, but I recently ran into another ex-forumite and they peer-pressured me into rejoining the IRC, so I thought I'd dust off this account too. Can't wait to see what you've been up to while I've been away!
}hugs{ Welcome back O Noodly Noodles. You have been missed. Stay awhile, if you can, for you are a quality person and as you remember, we likes us some quality persons.

Hello everybody! I started reading the comic a few weeks ago and someone suggested I could join the fan forum, so here I am (as you can see, I'm not so good with english but hopefuly you will understand me). I like drawing a lot, so maybe I'll be posting some art (I did already :) ) but I don't have a tumblr or anything, because I'm quite shy about showing my drawings. I don't usualy join forums either, but you all seemed so lovely on the coments I just couldn't resist ;DWelcome Yankai!

Welcome, Yankai! You do just fine in English and you join a literally worldwide group of Minnions. We're honored that you joined -- I know the reputation online communities can get, but we try to be nice to one another here (in the spirit of SSSS, which includes a generous helping of nuttiness).
If the drawing with your profile is a fair sample, your artwork is lovely and we look forward to seeing more of it.
Have fun exploring the Forum!

Welcome yankai! I'm also a bit abashed to post anything up under my own name, but feel less inhibited about it using a pseudonym. It can be quite liberating. Since coming to SSSS I've taken up drawing again, and now writing as well. Have fun, relax, experiment if you want or just doodle for the fun of it, we're a pretty supportive bunch.
Post by: Glory on May 18, 2017, 10:18:14 PM
I'm an 18 year old American guy from Maryland whose interests include history, military history, historical arms and armor, creating historical arms and armor (mostly just mail right now, both riveted and butted, though I've just started a scale cuirass), historical martial arts (German longsword, rapier and dagger, traditional longbow), competitive epee fencing (unranked as of yet, but getting better), writing poetry (with lots and lots of very nice meter :3), reading fantasy/scifi stories (Arthur C. Clarke is a particular favorite, though I have started some stuff by David Weber and Lois McMaster Bjould and quite liked it), playing the piano (occasionally), wasting entire afternoons on TVTropes and FF.net, and generally lazing about doing nothing of practical value to anyone whatsoever.
I'm probably going to study computer science with a business management minor in college, but, as my family is quite large and roughly 1/2 engineers and 1/2 artists, I'm trying to multiclass between engineering and more artistic pursuits - with mixed, but fun, results.
Due to my general incompetence at languages, I'm only fluent in English, though I still know a (very) small amount of classical Latin from 3 years in high school. I'd love to learn Icelandic at some point, as it's similar to old Norse and I'm particularly interested in Viking Age Icelandic history (bless you Hurstwic, bless you).
Well, that's me. It's a pleasure to be here.

So, I finally joined a forum for the first time in my life, because apparently my SSSS addiction is taking control of my brain. I've discovered the comic a few days ago, decided to read it slowly, failed miserably and caught up with it much faster than I'd have liked. And now whenever I open my mouth it's about SSSS and neither my best friend nor my life-mate (aka the only two people I speak with) have read it, nor they plan to. So, you see, this beautiful forum is the only thing that could stop me (or them) from going insane :D
Right. A short introduction is maybe in order? I speak English, Italian and German fluently, I can read Danish (unlike Emil, HA HA). I love drawing and writing, Germanic languages, reading, walking alone and playing videogames. Leaving the house is BAD, still I'm doing a Master in Medieval Studies and have to do it every day.
Relevant to SSSS: post-apocalyptic worlds are fascinating, Scandinavian history is fascinating, magic is fascinating! I wrote my Bachelor thesis about, well, witchcraft in Viking Age Scandinavia. So you can imagine my joy when I found out about SSSS *__*
Lastly, I positively LOVE your art thread here, so many talented artists! If I can manage to stop judging my drawings so harshly I'd like to post something too, sometime.
And that was it, for now. Hello again!

Hi Quirkwood! I can read some italian (it's very similar to my native language) and your work seems so so so interesting, so if you want to share it I would be more than happy to read it. And about posting your art, I'm quite shy about it too but the people in here are really sweet and suportive.

Hi yankai! Nice, if you speak Spanish you surely can read Italian. Also, I've read that many people in Argentina speak Italian as a second language, is it true? If you want, I can send you a link to my thesis. It would be nice to discuss it with people who have found out different stuff as well, because of course it's all just hypothetical and the sagas are practically endless and many different authors are still ripping each other's faces off screaming "It is shamanism!" "Never, it is NOT shamanism!" and I don't really know if that matters at all.
It'd be great if you could share your thesis! It sounds really interesting.
I can send you the link as well, if you can read Italian : ) Otherwise, a book which has really helped me get an overall idea (but merely an OVERALL idea, and it needs to be handled with care because it's pretty opinionated) is Neil Price's "The Viking Way". I think it just got a new edition. It also has a big part on Sami magic from Finland and its possible influences on Norse practitioners. It is amazing!

A pagan community? Really interesting! I miserably FAIL at anything with the root "commun-" in it (community, communication... Holy Communion?) but this seems worth investigating
Oh, and yankai and Shine, if you really are willing to read that thesis (be warned, it is not necessarily as exciting as the title sounds!) just send me a private message and I'll gladly link it (:

And yeah, Australia has a large and quite active Pagan Community. Try looking up 'Mount Franklin Pagan Gathering', 'Mylor English Ale' or Australian Wiccan Conference' to find out about public events. There are also a number of solitary practitioners, and some groups who want nothing to do with anyone outside their own traditions. It takes all kinds, I guess.

I'm Caro. I'm a guy located In East Finland by the beautiful and not yet troll-filled Saimaa. I was born in the first year of the new millennium, 2001. That makes me part of generation Z! I speak English and Finnish fluently and enough Swedish to get a passing grade, which is not a whole lot. My religious beliefs are very confusing, but I guess I'm a finnish pagan, similar to Lalli.
I've been reading SSSS since... last Saturday. I can't wait to have my one week anniversary! I hang out at the #ssss chat from dawn 'till dusk pretty much every day. I also draw fanart! I read multiple webcomics, but SSSS is my current favorite. I also am and have been in many different fandoms.
I would describe myself as a mix of Lalli and Emil, both in the way I look and my personality. However, Reynir is best boy. There is no debate over that.
I've babbled on long enough, I think. Again, nice to meet all of you! I really look forward to my time in this fandom.

My name is GunmanRex, typically just Rex for short. I stumbled upon SSSS late last week and I can't help but adore the story and the art. I have a friend whose read it as well. However, I find it best not the focus all my babbling over one interest or another all into one person. Things led to things, and I joined the forum after a day or so of lurking. The community looks nice so far.
Seems to traditional thing is to talk about our languages? I'm a native English speaker. My English is kinda a mix of British and American English. I have some experience in French from Middle+High School. What I really want is to be a gaeilgeoir.
I enjoy listening to music, reading books, playing video games, and generally explore the internet. I don't often find myself sticking to one genre of one or another, so my favourites tend to be hard to describe (though my avatar is a hint).
I'm can't describe my personality as anything else but weird.
Anyway, nice to meet you all. Here's to a fun time.

Perhaps I've really got a lot of comics to read now… Yeah…
Welcome at the forum!
The links to the minicomics don't work indeed, probably because the site hasn't updated for too long.
You can buy the ebook version of aRTD here (https://hivemill.com/collections/stand-still-stay-silent/products/a-redtails-dream-complete-edition). It says it has "40 pages of bonus content" so maybe that includes the mini comics too.

Well, so I found this ancient page: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/a-redtail-s-dream-hardcover-print-drive . In "Hopeless Human Level", it can be inferred that bonus material and minicomics are not the same thing… Oh, okay. Just curious about the little sequel story in the minicomics… *sigh*

Hi, Dylan. Welcome to the Forum! And thanks for sharing your music. It's beautiful -- so atmospheric, and I confess the wave sounds made me tear up a little.
In terms of getting in touch with Minna, your best bets are probably either comments on the comic's Disqus page (she will sometimes reply), or else her Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/SSSScomic
She's said in the past that she doesn't mind noncommercial art/music/etc. about SSSS (and A Redtail's Dream) so as long as you keep sharing your music this way, you're probably in the clear until or unless you try to make money off it as SSSS-branded merchandise.
Good luck trying to reach Minna, and we'll hope to see you more here!

After two weeks of lurking I finally decided to jump into the cold water and register. I really got to the comic about three weeks ago after having the link sit in my bookmark list of my browser far too long. A friend had recommended it to me because he moved to Sweden and knew I am doing Scandinavian studies. Right now while writing my master's thesis I rediscovered the link in an attempt to procrastinate (I had blocked all my usual procrastination pages). Well... I started reading again (after starting the Prologue and losing interest twice) and binged the whole thing in about two days. That was not healthy for my thesis but here I am fully infected.
I am happy do be here now and am looking forward to nice discussions and cool insights. :)

@heiteru: I am analyzing images of 'North' in Fantasy texts that create imagined worlds (like Tolkien's Middle Earth, but I am not analyzing Tolkien). How is this room "North" created? What clichés and topoi are used for this? (Like: It's a cold place, people have blond hair and blue eyes, everybody is free and so on...) and then compare these topoi with how "North" has been created in our world from antiquity to early modern times. And it turns out that the Fantasy texts are heavily based on these assumptions.
@ Fimbulvarg and Prizrachniy_Gek: Basically what waveright62 said: The German word for this studies is "Skandinavistik" so I am really not quite sure how to translate correctly. Our department focuses on Scandinavian history, culture, literature and language. One needs to learn at least one continental Scandinavian language and be able to understad the other two. Most courses require to read literature in the original language and if the topic is for example "Scandinavian Science Fiction" the texts come from all three continental Scandinavian countries and one should be able to read and understand all of them. In addition there is the requirement to learn Old Norse and to work with old Norse texts (my focus.) Some other departments also include Finland/Finnish language but ours doesn't. Also the focus on linguistics is not particulary big.
@ waveright62: That's it basically. A philology. I did American studies before and liked it. But I felt I needed to learn more about Scandinavia.

My name is Jacob, I'm 16 and have lived in Seattle, Washington my whole life. I'm currently in high school and assuming everything goes right, I intend to go into engineering in college. My hobbies are mostly technical theatre and rocketry.
Thats probably about all that you need to know, you seem like good people generally and I'm looking forward to talking to you more

Hello! I just started reading and got through the whole thing in a few days (I picked a hell of a time didn't I?) My first exposure to the comic was through my friend's tumblr, but I actually started reading after that NPR article a few days ago.

Welcome, Jacob! I was curious whether the NPR story would bring in more visitors. You'll fit right in, with plenty of other people interested in engineering, theater, and/or rocketry. (I'm assuming that's what your user-name comes from?) In fact, I believe there were some discussion threads from the early days about what it would take for the SSSS world to re-establish aviation and/or rocketry. And SectoBoss wrote an amazing story about the last spaceflight in Y0 and the heart-wrenching fate of the astronauts on it.
Wander around the place until you feel at home. Anybody here is happy to answer questions.

You would be correct in that guess (I was also born in october so there's that)! And like I said, you mostly have my friend to thank, I wouldn't have clicked on it otherwise! I'll definitely look into that story. You can also possibly expect some art from me in the future if I ever manage to draw something that doesn't totally suck.

Saving you the trouble of a scavenger hunt, here is the story I mentioned about the Last Astronauts: http://archiveofourown.org/works/4334900
...from a post on the "Survivor Communities outside the Known World" thread: https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=24.msg56870#msg56870
and here's another fan-fic I remember fondly, involving the first inter-continental plane flight in the Known World, in Y120. http://archiveofourown.org/works/2798174/chapters/6281342
Happy reading! And we'll hope you have happy arting!

CAMIR, whoa, for me it sounds perfect XoX
My thesis or the whole studies? With both I totally agree. ;D I did something else before but now I am home. I don't know where you live but maybe you can have a go at it, too?
CAMIR, its sound very interesting! I want make Scandinavian studies too, but in the context journalism. But not this year.My recommendation: Do it! It's the best that ever happened to me. If you can combine it with something like journalism - even better.
@October Sky: Welcome from me, too on board. I hope you have a nice time.

I have a Bachelor's degree and I really want to take a Master's course in order to continue my research (if being more precise). Yet, my country has nothing similar, but there are such courses in Sweden and other countries. Getting into Swedish university is hard but possible, I guess. So now I'm learning Swedish and English and preparing to try.
If you want, I can write to you in PM about that :3

I'm a biology student and very interested in all things pertaining to it, but I've got a special fondness for zoology, paleontology, and evolution. (And birds. I love birds. Can't forget that.)
I enjoy drawing and writing, though I haven't done the latter in quite a while. I mostly come up with thirty different stories I want to write and end up forgetting about half of them because I don't actually write them.
I'm from southern Brazil and I'm relishing in the cold while it lasts. Besides Portuguese and English I know some Italian and German, though both are very rusty as I've took those classes waaay back in middle school. Italian a bit less so, as it is similar enough to Portuguese I can pick up some things naturally.
I also have no idea how to make introductions.

Welcome to the forum, Seriema! Am I right in thinking you're named after these? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seriema)
If you're interested in biology and evolution, you may enjoy some of the speculative threads on the SSSS board within the Forum about Rash biology or how world ecosystems might be adapting in Y90 when the vast majority of mammals (except the Blessed Felines) were wiped out. You'll also find plenty of temptations to draw and write.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me or one of the other admins. Or just ask around -- people here are friendly! :)

Welcome to the forum, Seriema! Am I right in thinking you're named after these? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seriema)
Yes, that's them. If you think they look like dinosaurs like this (it's because they actually are!), just take a look at their feet:
(https://c1.staticflickr.com/7/6145/6043141863_fd17166e5c.jpg)
Genuine raptor claws. They're not very well-known outside of being the "closest extant relative to the Phorusrhacids (terror birds)", though they have pretty much the same ecological niche as the much more known secretary bird.

Ecological impacts of the mass extinction of most large animals seems really interesting! Thank you for the tips, I'll have to check out these threads.

Thanks for the suggestion! I have looked at their programs, but they all seem a bit overpriced, or at least compared to other organizations.
I'm thinking about studying in either Austria or Finland (but I swear that it's for reasons other than SSSS.)

I'm a college student from the USA state of Minnesota, and I love snow and cold weather. I have a pretty terrible memory and have enough trouble talking even when I know what people are saying, so I kind of suck at languages. I am fluent in English, know enough Spanish to scrape by when I need it, and have learned a few random phrases in German.
I love drawing, physics, math, singing, reading, and starting on a wikipedia page and following links until I have 30 tabs open. I'm in general pretty interested in how things work and come to be.

Welcome, Pippin! I'm impressed that you were able to escape the seductive clutches of TVTropes -- I've wasted far too many hours there. But if it brought you to SSSS, and then to this Forum, that's all good!
If you're from Minnesota (like several other Forumites), you certainly know about the kind of weather the crew has had to face in the comic. And it sounds like you might be interested in reading and/or contributing to the various discussion threads, both in the SSSS Comic and General folders, discussing how things in the Known World might work.
Everyone here is pretty friendly, so don't hesitate to start posting or ask a question. And you got here at a good time -- Sept. 1 is the Forum's third anniversary, which means an online celebration. There will probably be confetti, movies and/or music to share, maybe a trivia quiz...? (The admins, including me, are scurrying around behind the scenes doing party planning; we'll start soliciting ideas and help soon.)

Writing is a skill that develops throughout your life, but it doesn't develop if you don't actually do it. How are those for motivational posters? tumblr is great at sending such sentiments my way, and to be honest the exhortation that it doesn't have to be perfect is something I need reminding of **frequently.**

Hello, Mentha_Spicata, a/k/a Spearmint!
Judging by your many interests, you will find lots of people here to share them with! Especially writing fan-fic. I had never written fiction since some very stiff and boring attempts back in college, years ago -- but SSSS helped me overcome my writer's block and sense of inadequacy, to the point I've written yards and yards. (Mostly not very good, but it's a lot of fun and very freeing.)
If you're Polish, you may like a book I recently finished, Uprooted (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22544764-uprooted) by Naomi Novik (author of the Temeraire series). It's a fantasy based on Polish folklore and history, which in the English-speaking world is refreshingly different.

Welcome, Drekaavoxtur! Do you feel like telling us the derivation of your Forum name?
Your interests are also sure to find matches here in the Forum -- especially your language-learning plans. Moreover, there are already several Australians prominent on the Forum. Before long, there may be a critical mass for an SSSS Meet-Up in the Lucky Country. :)
Have fun exploring, and don't hesitate to ask for suggestions if you feel like it.

Thank you for the warm welcomes everyone! I'm currently based in VIC at the moment, and a possible meetup sounds cool!
As for Sunflower's question about my forum username, it's derived from the Icelandic words for Dragon Fruit- I was messing around on google translate earlier last year and came up with the name, and dragons are another interest of mine :)

Thanks, urbicande!
Is that morse code in your profile? And if so, does it mean "Are you busy?" I was trying to look up the abbreviation QRL, but that was all I could find.
It is and it does! I'm a ham radio operator in my copious free time.

Hello! I'm Ira, I live in Moscow, Russia and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE SSSS, THIS FORUM AND ALL OF YOU. Just the fact that you exist makes me really happy because you all seem to be so nice and caring and interesting
I stumbled across SSSS in June 2016 during my Great Webcomic Discovery (over 100 webcomics in 3 months). Well, not directly across SSSS but its Russian translation. Unfortunately, the translation tends to stop for months so after waiting for half a year I decided that I need to gasp read the comic in English. Aaaand in June 2017 I finally caught up! Still happy about it.
I love computer games, Terry Pratchett, everything about Scandinavia, cats and telling people a lot of personal information :) I'm fluent in Russian, can talk in English and have recently started learning Swedish. A long time ago I used to do a lot of interesting things like drawing and writing but now I'm
Oh, and one more thing. The only reason I live is stories. All kinds of them (meaning books, series, comics, films, games and so on) and especially the one about six folks and a cat in a tank. Looks like only stories provide me with some kind of meaning, sense or reason. Don't know what to do with that so just... note that some girl on the internet would be glad to listen to you
Now THAT turned out unexpectedly big! Oh I just want to cosplay Reynir and apologize for half an hour ._.

Hi to Kis/Ira, you'll find many of us profess to being awkward in person, but seem to do all right in here. I suspect that has a lot to do with the Forum's culture of (generally) thoughtful sharing. Also, the written format allows a person for whom English is a second language to go through the comments slowly and take their time to formulate a response. And when words fail, the visual threads (the sundry Art Museums, the SSSS Memes & Edits and The Pictures thread) are there as well to help communicate.

Lazy8, that is an extremely silly looking dragon fruit! I grow them (though not ones that look like that!). Mine are really suffering from the cold at present, but hopefully will survive to fruit in summer.
And Lucy, that is a delightful derivation for a username.
Róisín, I didn't know you grow dragon fruit! (But I shouldn't be surprised -- you seem to have a subtropical Garden of Eden going.) I can barely even imagine how those candy-colored things grow. Are they like pineapples?
Post by: Róisín on September 09, 2017, 07:28:10 AM
Dragon fruit (Hylocereus species, mine is probably H. undatus or a hybrid thereof) are a twining/climbing cactus, with long angular stems that can grow a couple of metres tall before drooping over at the top. Only the drooping stems flower and bear fruit. The flowers are gorgeous, rather like those of their distant (or not so distant, depending which botanist you argue with) relative, Selenicereus or Queen of the Night cactus, and are followed by large edible fruit with those scale-like persistent sepal thingies, hence 'dragon fruit'. Mine is the kind with pink skin and white flesh studded with tiny black crunchy seeds. I had the sort with dark red flesh, which has a stronger, sweeter taste, but my plant died in a cold winter.
Wouldn't mind if we were subtropical, but we have hot dry summers with bushfires, and freezing winters. I need a greenhouse to grow some things, a shadehouse for others, until storms tear them apart and I have to bring plants into the house. I live at the Adelaide Hills end of South Australia's Barossa Valley, and our always extreme climate seems to be becoming more so. At the moment (early spring) our most prominent crop is weeds!

Auxivele, if you get to Australia, that would be fun! I only have a third of an acre, but it is very densely planted.I would love to return to Australia. I don't know if/when it would happen, but I fell in love with the country when I went (almost a decade ago... That's half my life! The time it's been, not the decade. I'm still a youngin). I've only been to the Blue Mountains and the Sydney area, but I definitely want to explore the rest.
Post by: Kelpie on September 10, 2017, 01:43:57 AM
Róisín, I echo Auxivele's sentiment about your garden. In fact, I'd love to one day take you up on your year old offer to go to a reenactment one day! But alas right now I'm on about the opposite side of the world.

I came across this comic about a week ago when I was searching for a new obsession. By golly, did I find one! I cruised through the archives in about five evenings. I rarely post to forums of any sort, but SSSS seems worth it. I haven't been this enamored with a longform comic like this since, well, probably ever.

From where I live on Long Island, just about everything north of midtown Manhattan is upstate!
Post by: thorny on September 19, 2017, 02:37:55 PM
Not to mention that NYSTate goes east and west as well as north and south; so that places a similar distance north of NYCity can still be a full day's drive away from each other. (Which I expect urbicande and aziraflail know; but people outside the NE USA often don't seem to.)

Welcome to the Forum, Libby! There are three threads for posting links to your fics, the SSSS Scriptorium (http://"https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=193.0"), the ARtD Scriptorium (http://"https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=656.0") and the Forum Scriptorium (http://"https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=257.0"), for more general works. That said, The Fanfiction Resource Centre (http://"https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=941.0") keeps links and discussion that brings together all of our resources. And of course, many many threads and topics for connecting to other Minnions on a personal level.

I stumbled upon the SSSS several years ago, but at this time my English was still pretty imperfect, so only recently I rediscovered it again. I was truly impressed by the absolutely awesome worldbuilding, put in this comics, very "alive" characters and plotlines. So, after several days of reading I finally became bold enough to register here.
So, hello from Mother Russia! And yes, we also have pretty cold areas to make a stand... ;)

I saw everyone was mentioning the languages they speak, so I'll do that too. I consider my first language to be English, but I've been going to a fully french school since I was 4 or 5. So I'm quite fluent in both languages. I've also tried to learn German, but I don't have much time to do that haha.
I discovered SSSS when I was browsing Hiveworks several months ago for inspiration and experience for my own comic (exposure to see different techniques, reading comics in general, etc) read a couple pages, and decided to order Book 1. Once my copy got here, I read it and fell in love immediately with the series.

Well, hello there~. I just now decided to make an account for the forums, though I've known about it for a few days. I found S.S.S.S. from one of the many ad's on another site, and was greeted to Emil and Lalli on a single sheet of ice in the middle of a river. Funny thing is, I read Chapter 16 backwards before I read the whole comic from the beginning. Does this mean I spoiled it before I even read it? I basically read 1/3 of it in one night when I was supposed to go to bed for school. It would of been bad if I had not realized the time... Hehe.
Mm, I'm from the U.S. with too much disorganized interest in Europe. My History teachers either hate me or love me at this point. Ah.., I like to do traditional art, though I never seem to be able to take good enough pictures of it to show. I also write, though most of it is just descriptive stuff since even after 3 years I still haven't kicked my procrastination to finish any stories.
Uh.. I guess that's it? ... p ^p)...?

I'm Nicas - a Finnish university student the age of Tuuri. I remember reading The Redtails Dream while it was still being posted, but left it for a while a few chapters before it ended - just to come back to read the rest all at once. Only got enough nerve to start reading SSSS this summer, at the "perfect" time just when chapter fifteen ended. (Actually made my friend catch up with the comic at the same time with me. God, that visit turned angsty fast.)
I enjoy arts and history but I consider myself to be kind of jack of all trades,
I speak Finnish as my mother tongue and English as second language. And also some Swedish and the basics of Russian.

I got into SSSS because I used to be (and kind of still am) a huge Tolkien nerd who followed the Silmarillion fandom on Tumblr, and I eventually got curious about the webcomic that Elleth mentioned in her sidebar. I caught up near the end of chapter 10 and then went back and read aRTD when I got frustrated by one of the chapter breaks.
Sadly, the only language I speak fluently is English, but I took 6 years of German in high school and still remember some of it, and I can recognise scattered words in Russian and Maori.
In my spare time, I really love music and singing, and am currently taking classical singing lessons. I also knit and spend probably more time than I ought to screwing around on the internet, mostly on Tumblr, where my URL is ninethousandbees (long story). Other fictional things I have been into recently include Ann Leckie's Imperial Radch trilogy (and I just got her new novel a few days ago aahhhhhhhh), Nodame Cantabile, Brooklyn 99 and this series of books and short stories about teenagers going to superhero school called The Posterchildren. Character and plot analysis are some of my favourite things and I love to ramble.
Nice to meet all of you!

So, i'm Talvis, a 17-year-old Finn. I've been reading SSSS for a few years and really love it. I'm also a huge fandom nerd in general - there's always something new i'm obsessing over, haha. I like reading, drawing, watching movies and cartoons and i've been trying to get into cosplaying. (I cosplayed Tuuri last spring!) I'm pretty shy, but i'd love to make new friends.

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.

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

Post by: Johniny on November 07, 2017, 05:49:00 PM
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.

It might require some googling to find, especially smaller groups of which I'm most fond of. According to Wikipedia, in France it is called grandeur nature (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeu_de_r%C3%B4le_grandeur_nature).
However, I think it is inappropriate to spam this thread with such information so if you are interested, you can create your own thread, surely there are more fellow larpers or just pm me. But I'm a pretty much beginner, so thread might be of more use to you.

Hi. I'm the one who calls herself Zinvia. I've picked up some mannerisms from cats in my youth, which is probably part of the cause of my weird social development. I mostly read, draw and procrastinate, often while breaking the flimsy rules I set up for myself every day. I don't know how much I'll be here, but I'm almost always somewhere in the SSSS comments, under this same name. That's about all I have to say for now.
Welcome. It's been fun getting to watch you develop slowly in the community, which in my book can be a sign of a person with a healthy wariness of internet shenanigans. The Forum has a similar culture to the Disqus comments in that it's generally quite mature in its attitudes and courtesies, even when its members are often actually young (meaning high-school or university age).

Welcome, beergood! I love the <lalli> tags. Hmmm, I wonder what <emil> tags would convey -- pompous and unintentionally offensive cluelessness or clueless-but-eager goodwill? In any event, nice to have you join the Forum properly. I notice you speak most of the Scandinavian languages (at least enough to order some beers). Add Icelandic and you'll have a full sweep!
Also welcome skips (Norwegian and screaming? Join the club ;) ), Zinvia (we're glad to see you moving over from the Disqus comments!), Johniny (you may be our first Slovakian member), and Lyric (I bet I'm not the only one who would love to see sketches of the wildcats you used to work with, if you have any).

I'm Russian, currently living in our cultural capital St. Petersburg, but my hometown Khabarovsk is all the way across the vast expanse of Russia (7 hours flight, a week by train, therefor I don't visit it often).
Possibly out of this comes my innate "feeling for distances" and and love for geography.
Love for geography got me into SSSS - a friend sent me a Map of the Known World and I was hooked.
I've read whole comic (around 600 of 700 pages at that time?) in one evening...
Over the months since that fateful evening, my life experienced a generous influx of excitement all thanks to SSSS:
I've met a bunch of like-minded fans and now we are marching to Winter Fandom Battle together - I'm bound to have new friends and comrades-in-arms after it.
Slow and delightful torture of waiting for updates caused a surge of inspiration rarely seen before and prompted me to start several fan-themed projects, which I'm excited to be able to share here, when time comes.
Life is good and winter months are to be packed with creative fun and for this I'll be forever grateful.

My my, that's a long journey. Almost mind-boggling that you've gone from near the Pacific coast and China all the way to bordering Finland and Estonia.
We have an anecdote in Russia about just that.
It goes:
Rasta man catches a Golden Fish (Russian analog of Jinny in a Bottle) and in quest for her freedom, she offers him 3 wishes.
Rasta man scratches his beard in thought... "Let's see Tatar-Mongols (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongol_invasion_of_Rus') invade Finland!"
Golden Fish is surprised, but makes it so: Tatar-Mongols march all the way north and invade Finland..
For his second wish Rasta man wishes for Tatar-Mongols to go back to Asia.
Golden Fish is bewildered but makes it so.
For his third and last wish Rasta man asks again for Tatar-Mongols to invade Finland.
Golden Fish is stares at him with bulging eyes for a long time, but makes it so, then asks Rasta man - Why on Earth will he wish for Mongols to invade Finland, of all places?!
Rasta man, lightheartedly, replies - OH! I JUST LOVE ME SOME ACTION, MAN!
... and puffs out a ring of smoke into the sky...

I'm from California, Los Angeles area.
My handle is my breed of dog. English Mastiffs for 20+ years. I'm all about the dogs and the cats. Actually, I'm pretty much all about animals. I confess Sleipnope is my fav character.
Can't remember which character we're supposed to calculate our ages from, so I'll just say I could be Sigrun's mother.
I am embarrassed - especially in this group! - to admit my only language is English, but I'm pretty obsessive about English, so maybe that makes up for a little?
Most of my writing is non-fiction, including literary criticism, so my primary artistic outlet is drawing. Working on a few pieces i hope to post here soon.
I love S4 not just because it's a staggeringly brilliant work, but also because it's got this awesome community behind it. Every single comments page I learn something new, we've got such an amazing group of intelligent, educated, observant, and thoughtful people. Like I've said, where else can you learn about Finland's utility infrastructure, whale-falls, and optimal methods of transporting unconscious people while dodging puns in a pillow fort?
I love other comics, but this is the only one I feel like there's a community, especially one I want to be a member of.
Thanks gang!

Let's see, I an a linguist and an anthropologist (so SSSS was an instant hit with me!), I usually teach history and Sanskrit. I did most of my fieldwork and research in Nepal, so my speciality is the deities and mythology of the Himalayas and Kathmandu valley. I did my PhD thesis on the tales told about a nature goddess at her annual festival, and currently I'm researching different types ('colours') of magic amongst the Newars of Kathmandu. Interesting stuff!
So I mostly speak/write/read in Asian languages - Sanskrit, Nepali, Newari, Hindi, Tibetan etc... but I have also learnt some Norwegian and plan to really buckle down and get stuck into Finnish at some point.
And, true to my username, I do like a good cup of tea. Earl grey, mostly. Also Lapsang souchong. Mmmm!
Ummm... I also like figure skating, and go ice skating at least twice a week. It's kinda my passion. So I'm half-hoping that our heroes will get to skate over a lake or something at some point. The cattank has to have bad weather equipment, like snowshoes or ice skates, right? ...riiight?
Anyway it's good to be here, thanks for having me!

I crochet (18years) and knit (three weeks?) and this comic and fandom is what inspired me to pick up knitting. Hope to learn more about you lovely folks and looking forward to reading the new pages as they come out.

Post by: wavewright62 on December 01, 2017, 03:33:21 PM
Welcome (in this thread) to hoppipolla - I lived in Lansing for a few years back in the early 90s, there was a lot to enjoy about the place. Coincidentally, that was where I learnt to knit - 5 sessions at the knitting shop in Frandor gave me enough skills to cope with single-colour patterns and a variety of stitch techniques.
Welcome to WeirdnessUnfolds, as well, bumping up the native Swedish contingent!

I found SSSS one or two years ago from my sister telling me about it. I also read aRTD, and I love both of the stories.
I'm a pretty boring person, but I am looking forward to finally getting involved in the SSSS community =)

I'm a jack-of-all-trades, master of none - I like to dabble in a lot of creative pursuits such as drawing, knitting, cosplay, stamp carving, music (singing, guitar, keyboard) and poetry, writing, etc... I also have a lot of random hobbies that I'll pick up and move between.
I've been listening to a lot of podcasts while at work and this forum has helped me find an interesting selection. I've mostly been listening to (so many) food and history podcasts lately. I don't even know why.
I love cool rocks and weird sea creatures and places with history. I'm a huge fan of mythology and I love learning about other places, times, and cultures.
I live on the US East Coast and have a gecko, two gerbils, and a bunch of fish. The cat is not mine but I love her to pieces.

There is at least one other viola player in the fandom, and several theatre folk, so you should find lots to talk about.

I discovered the comic a few weeks ago and got hooked by the prologue: Everyday people behaving like everyday people in the face of the apocalypse. I read the comic mainly as some kind of parody that also works as an adventure story if you don't notice the parody - quite similar to the beginning of the hobbit, actually. (I did not get the irony of the hobbit when I first read it as at the age of eleven but took it seriously.) The main story also seems like everyday people facing an adventure that seems a bit too big for them, but until
Spoiler: show
(And now I will go over to the comic board and look for a speculation thread.)

I'm quite new to the SSSS world, but totally into it! I got to know about the SSSS comic through an article on "der Tagesspiegel" (yes, this is german but no, I'm not a german even though I can speak it fluently). Here is the article: http://www.tagesspiegel.de/kultur/comics/jahresrueckblick-hier-gibt-es-weitere-comic-favoriten-unserer-leser/20650620-2.html (- hey I just saw now that the name of the SSSS comic is written wrongly! O_o) I'm also a reader of Webtoons and Tapastic.
My hobbies are mainly drawing, writing, playing piano, thinking about scinece and reading (books as much as comics! :3). I also plan on being an cartoonist as second job in future so... :))
And that's it! I think at least...

That Bunny, the Google-translated page from the link spelled it as "Stay Still Stay Silent" which I hope is just a GT malapropism.
But I agree with JoB that Minna has done an unusually good job with keeping the features of the characters separate, at least when you see them reasonably close up. (Quite a few will have features so similar, it's only the colouring that distinguishes them.)

Thank you! I don't really know, I'm only in second year so I'm kind of figuring things out rn. I like knitwear, denim and mixing menswear and womenswear though if that answers your question :)
Welcome to Imogen, that's a mighty long time to have held out! You'll already know then, that you have plenty of company on the Emilalli ship, it is probably the most popular one.
Thanks! Yeah I know! There's just so much to go on for that ship though, it's very hard not to catch on lol :D

I've been a visitor of the #ssss IRC channel for quite awhile now (greater than a year), but I've neglected to actually create a forum account until now. So, I won't be surprised if a few people know me. ;)
I've lived all over the US, and have visited France, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland and Brazil. I love to travel as well as be outside, so I may be visiting the meetup forum sometime. :P
I'm a webcomic fiend—reading 16 different comics at the moment and looking for more! I found SSSS two years ago by accident, and devoured it along with aRTD. Still, I find SSSS minnions to be wonderful and I love this community more than the others.
For those language nerds, I speak English fluently and French much less so. I have many other flings (Norwegian, Vietnamese and Mandarin for example), but only feel comfortable in the former. I dream that one day I'll be able to learn enough to move to another country for good.
I also love reading, music, programming, math and everything cute, but this is getting long so I'll cut it off here.

I'm Malahan, a 27 years old weirdo from Czech Republic. I found the comic about four weeks ago by accident - Google showed me some pictures of Reynir after typing his name (one of my original characters' name is Reynir, too) and I was curious what story is that cutie from. I read it in two evenings and fell in love with this masterpiece ;D
I like cocoa, drawing, smoked tofu, riding a kick scooter (are there any other scooter riders here? ;D), icelandic music and language, electric guitars (especially telecasters)... I'm quite shy and insecure about my English, so I will probably watch the forum silently most of the time, but I could post some fanart in the future, so I thought it would be nice to introduce myself first.
Have a nice day/evening/whatever everyone :)

Welcome also to pounce! You probably already know this, but the best way to learn the language deeply is to go there, wherever there is. Quite a few Minnions have taken a leap to a foreign country, for study or for work.

I go by Fija and I’m from Poland. I’ve been meaning to become active here for months, but I’m really shy and scared of everything so bear with me! haha
I first found this comic about 3 years ago, but school got in the way and i got disconnected from the story because of waiting for all the updates, and eventually (sadly) i abandoned it. But then, one day, i heard a few great songs with vocals in Finnish and it reminded me of „that one awesome comic where everyone was from the North”. My burning love for SSSS ignited once more, warming up my cold, rainy December.
Besides SSSS I love animated movies, cats, art, and Moomins! Moomin was my first ever crush haha :'D, and I watched the tv show like crazy (& read the books when I got older).
I like to draw, learn foreign languages (as a few people said „language monster”) & play various sports.

Nothing Scandinavian tho...

My main languages are Finnish and English, I've also learned some Japanese, thanks to watching anime since I was a child and then going to Japanese classes years ago, but I won't say I'm good at it. Swedish... Ah, I know words, but after the years out of school I've had no need to use it and have gone beyond rusty. I live in the Southern Finland, and haven't really moved around beyond Finnish borders. I like anime and manga, read a lot of fanfictions and listen to music all sorts of music.
The other webcomics I enjoy are Wurr and Off-White. SSSS is actually the first comic centered around humans I've read in years.

Hi, another Finn here! After taking three days reading Stand Still, Stay Silent all the way through I've grown to love the comic a lot. Especially enjoy seeing the friendship between Lalli and Emil, and the shipper in me hopes they'll grow closer. Lalli is most likely my fave character, and I don't dislike any character so far.

I follow two other webcomics, http://www.blindsprings.com/ (http://www.blindsprings.com/) (which is currently on a between-chapters hiatus) and http://batb.thecomicseries.com/ (http://batb.thecomicseries.com/) (an absolutely amazing re-telling and beautiful re-spinning of the tale as old as time!)
In real life I am a mid-twenties something gal that travels the United States as a medical imaging technician. My time zones vary from contract to contract and my online-interaction is quite sporadic and incremental. That being said, I must admit I’m addicted to “checking-in” on all three of “my” comics Every. Single. Day. - even though SSSS updates four times a week, BatB updates twice a week and Blindsprings is on break! What is wrong with me? Let’s just say I do it for the comments! ;D
I enjoy meeting new people and going on adventures. In my non-existent spare time I like to read (current favorite is “Til We Have Faces” by C. S. Lewis), watch BBC Earth (Blue Planet II is AMAZING!) and YouTube (“The Bucket List Family” = happiness) AND doodle on sticky notes (because I can never find real paper when I want it). If you decide to spy on me you might find me singing while I drive (and scaring the drivers behind me with my totally-safe-behind-the-wheel dancing!) and running my puppy (and scaring birds and beasts with our all-too-exuberant bouncy-ness.). If you want to stalk me on instagram my username is gnosrevir_melody (not sure how to link that). Nice to meet you all! I promise I’m stalking the threads here even when I don’t post. I’m watching you! Muahahahaha!
Adventure is out there!

Huh. I was going with Urban Dictionary, "Japanese equivalent of either "awesome" or "awful". Most frequently used to mean the former, at least among westerners. ... Phrase to show excellence, coolness, and awesome powa supa dupa 100% for Japanase girls."

Hola! I'm 15 turning 16, from the Midwest United States. I draw and animate obsessively, so I'm curious to see if I can share any SSSS Fan Art/Animations here. I only recently found SSSS, but I freaking love it, as I've gone back and read through the entirety of it thus far. I haven't interacted with fan forums at all until now, so I have no idea what I'm doing, but it'll be fun to stumble through figuring things out. I'll be online occasionally, due to being busy with school, but I'll try to post whenever I can. I suppose that's it, so... uh... Hi.

My name's Jamie. You can also call me Mebediel or Meb if you'd like. I'm 23 years old and working as a paralegal while I apply to graduate programs for medieval English literature. My sister introduced me to SSSS a few weeks back, and I caught up right before the most recent chapter break. At first I didn't want to make a forum account because I didn't know how much time I'd have to actually participate, but, as you can see, I caved pretty quickly.
Since we're also doing languages (one of my favorite things about this fandom is how invested everyone is in languages, btw!), English is my native language, and I can usually understand Mandarin, although I'm not as good at speaking, reading, or writing as I should be after having lived in China for 6 1/2 years and having one Chinese parent :P I also took Spanish for three years in high school, and I took Latin and Old English in college. Once I get a better at the languages I'm already working on, I'm going to try for French and/or Icelandic and/or Old Norse and/or Shanghainese as well!

My name is Seth, if you couldn't tell by the username. I am a 24 year old Brit, who has a love of languages and cultures, but doesn't have the memory to learn any languages.
I've been lurking since the Dalahasten and have finally decided to come out of hiding. I usually stay away from fandoms because they have a tendency to be toxic but after chatting with some of you and seeing how wholesome you all are, I've decided to become a member of the Minnions.
I'm fluent in English and while I used to know a bit of Latin and Japanese, my memory is terrible and I've since forgotten about 90% of what I used to know. Despite this, I am always interested in learning about new cultures and languages, even if my retention is awful. Maybe one day I'll figure out a way of learning languages that'll stick for me, when I do, I plan on re-learning what I knew, and learning many different languages, starting with the Scandinavian Languages.
I look forward to enjoying your company here, on the IRC, and in the Twitch chats and SSSS comment sections, which I plan on not lurking on soon.

I am a long-time lurker and comic reader (from the distant days when Reynir was still quite nameless).
I've been burned by getting too close to fandoms before, but I've really been enjoying the recent livestreams and I guess I'm ready to be hurt again, ha. A little bit about me- I'm from the Eastern United States, I have a college degree in textiles and I'm really interested in archaeology and folklore. While I'm pretty dislocated from my family heritage, I have predominantly Finnish ancestry. I really enjoy cosplay projects and would love to do something SSSS related (although the mere thought of all that insulation in August gives me the Fear.) I also enjoy drawing and other various art-and-craft pursuits. I'm very attached to Tuuri and Onni, though I love the whole crew.
I don't know how active I'll be here, but, here I am! Please be gentle.

I love fanart and similar works, like cosplay, animations and recorded audio. I've already found a lot of nice such things in these forums. And some threads are gold mines for inspiration.
In SSSS I find the most relatable character is Lalli. I love everyone in the main crew though, and also Onni.

Welcome, Kaino! This is a very friendly forum, so I’m certain you’ll make friends in no time :) I’m in a similar boat re:characters, I think...although I don’t find Lalli the most relatable necessarily, he is my favorite by a very small margin since the rest of the crew + Onni are also all so wonderful!Thank you! Right, if I pick one favorite character it feels like I'm neglecting the others and they are all so awesome in different ways.

I'm Birov, 21 y.o. from the west coast of the USA. I'm a full-time commissions/freelance artist who's almost entirely consumed by my work. But, recently I've been trying to take some more time to draw personal/fan work & actually engage with stories and content I love, which led me here!
SSSS has been... basically the only webcomic I consistently remember to keep up with for over two years now, if not longer. Mostly due to the fact that it hits all the themes I like and I fell in love with all the characters within pages of meeting them, so it's kept me captive ever since.
I feel bad picking a favorite character... I'd have to settle for saying Lalli or Emil, when pressed. But they're - at most - an inch ahead of the others.

In my free time (hah) I play d&d, write, and recently have been trying to draw more art, which usually means ssss fanart.Welcome, Katherine! My sister is double majoring in math and art, so I'm a little familiar with people studying to seemingly unrelated fields. It sounds tough but really cool! What kind of music/what instruments?

I follow SSSS for less than a month, but I have first learned about it over a year ago from the TVTropes page (which is where I find all the cool stuff). Once I got to it, it quickly became apparent it's the best webcomic I've ever read, bar none.
I'm currently studying IT in Łódź (it's a city in the middle of Poland).
I rather ineptly try to create some fantasy stories of my own (the nickname RanVor is, in fact, derived from one of my characters' name).
I only speak Polish and English (which is still more than most people I know). I'd learn some other languages, but I'm too lazy.
And most importantly, I'm immensely proud and happy that I get to be a part of this awesome community!

Facts about me are...I'm in college majoring in English and Math. I'm the only person in my family not deathly allergic to cats and by extent the only one who likes them. I write fanfiction sometimes (nothing for SSSS yet, though, my FFN and ao3 accounts still reflect my recent fullmetal alchemist obsession). My favorite parts of any fandom I get into are bromance and found family, so you probably won't find much romance in my theories or comments, just lots of friendship.
Anyway, super excited to be here, and looking forward to experiencing the rest of SSSS with everyone!

Hello! I'm snowilsadmiral (some people call me Snow for short), she/her, and I found SSSS about a month and a half ago when I was re-reading aRTD, which was suggested to me by a friend a few years ago. I adore this comic and am so far very impressed by the commentariat, which is a lot better than what I've always expected comments to be online (mostly based on what I've seen on Youtube).

I agree abpout the general civility around the Forum, we are a generally well-rounded bunch who are more interested in sharing our knowledge than ramming it down one another's throat.
Also another one in the friendship-please camp here - my general observation is that people sometimes develop a romance when they go through an intense experience together, but it's far more common to go years working with someone and never develop a romance! (So says the person with 40+ years in the workforce.)
Post by: Taxx on October 20, 2018, 12:43:43 PM
I found Minna's aRTD comic way back and I loved it- so when SSSS became a thing, it was a guaranteed that I was gonna read. Went through major life issues not too long after it'd started, though, back in like 2015, and stopped reading to deal. Randomly remembered the comic in August and looked it up again, reading through all of it and aRTD again to re-familiarize myself. Love the comic, love the characters- Lalli and Sigrun are my favorites.
I heard there were meet-ups every so often? I'm currently located in Texas USA, not far from Houston, so if there's anyone around that area, I'm game.

I just recently discovered SSSS through a friend who has been reading the comic for many years, and I absolutely love it! (I read the entire thing up to page 900 or so in one single night xD) After reading A Redtail's Dream too and getting to know the fandom a little bit I decided to make an account here, even tho I'm not exactly good in socialising but I'll try my best c:
uhhhh I don't know what else to say...
I really really like Lalli xD

I can however say I am surprisingly well versed on nuclear policy for a forester (Thanks FEMA trainings, the more I learn the less I'm scared about the bomb, that said evenif they are facetious, suggestions of nuclear bombardment against US citizens made by their political representatives (https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/nov/16/eric-swalwell-democratic-lawmaker-warns-gun-owners/).... are UNACCEPTABLE! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07So_lJQyqw)). Beyond that my interests include bushcraft and wilderness skills, cooking, camping, writing, video games and trying to sneak policy under the radar to sneakily remove red tape, or at the very least sway public opinion towards best management practices.

I started reading SSSS after my best friend recommended it in August of this year. I've been an avid reader since I learned how, and I can honestly say that SSSS is one of the top three best stories I have ever known (I'm including books, movies, TV series into the "stories" category). And I imagine that many of you feel similarly :'D

I just realized this thread existed.
I'm Nellie, and I'm terrible at introductions.
I've only been reading SSSS since September-ish, but I'm fully caught up and more than fully invested in the characters/story/fandom. I have not yet read ARTD, which probably makes me an unfaithful Minnion, but I swear I will get there as soon as my life decides to give me enough time to binge another webcomic!
I speak English, and I'm learning Mandarin Chinese and Latin but am nowhere near fluent in either, especially Chinese.
I love Lalli (well, I love everyone of our main characters) with all my heart and I will never recover from Tuuri.

Welcome!! And don't worry, I haven't read further than page... I think 44 of aRTD, so I don't know anything about it XD also, agreed. Tuuri is love and Tuuri is life. Tuuri is also luck, which is kinda sad when you think about it, so I'm gonna stop thinking about it :'(
Also to wavewright62, you're welcome!(?) :'D Or should I say... your welcome >:D HAHAHAH
(Also also, I'ma point this out in a whisper, so imagine I'm whispering: "bugger", while a great deal of fun to say, is sadly used as a slur against gay folks primarily in the UK. I actually found this out a few weeks ago from a writing teacher (the dude who wrote Ender's Game, turns out, is really homophobic... Sigh). I haven't yet heard it used to attack anyone, and it might've fallen out of use/been reclaimed by this point, but I thought I should let you know just in case!)

Ah yes, my apologies if anyone out there was affronted (see also the usage of the word 'bastard' currently in the Bad Jokes thread). It was actually a point of controversy some years back when an NZ ad campaign, now beloved and universally embraced, featured the word in its current context, in which every man and his dog now uses the word freely.

Also thank all of you all for pointing that out about the word (imagine I'm whispering?) "bugger" because I too was totally unaware of that. And that is really unfortunate about Ender's Game, which I have been meaning to read. SIGH.

I found SSSS like four or five days ago, read all of it, then read all of “a redtail’s dream,” and finished with reading over the development log for “City of Hunger.”
I absolutely fell in love with the art and story.
I’m from the USA, and I am an aging punk who listens to mostly punk, hardcore, industrial, and reggae music; has played in many bands over the years, but has been on a creative hiatus for about five years.
I’ve also been a life long player of table top rpgs, and prefer post-apocalyptic, horror and giant robots over fantasy.
Cheers
PS : I speak American English, and some very bad Spanish, and know smatterings of a few other languages but only enough to get me into trouble.

Hi everyone, I'm not much of a forum joiner but you seem like a friendly, diverse, creative, and interesting lot. I stumbled on SSSS a couple of years ago and was instantly enchanted; there are lots of webcomics that I've followed for a while and then dropped, but I've stuck with SSSS. And I actively avoid the comments on pretty well all webcomics, but not this one. I nearly always learn something!
I'm Canadian, sadly only functional in English, can struggle along in French (was functionally bilingual at the end of high school, but if you don't use it, you lose it), took a year each of German and Latin, and I'm a word nerd so I've picked up bits and pieces of other languages. Also Greek and Latin roots used in scientific terms - I'm a biologist, and I like knowing what things mean.
I probably won't be very active on here, but at least now I can chip in if I'd like to!

I tried to crop the fox photo, but the resolution just isn't there - people have a hard enough time recognizing it as a fox at full size, perhaps because it's not the usual red, but also because it was a quick shot with a cell phone camera.
The fox theme dates from my camera forum days - I wanted the username 'digitalis', but was too late, it was taken. So I went for the common name of digitalis, 'foxglove'. When I decided to join up here and Disqus, I dropped the glove (sooorry! Couldn't resist the lame pun.) and used the genus for our local foxes. That of course gave me the perfect Minna-related avatar, when my own photo just didn't cut it.
I've looked briefly into the twitch streams, but we live in the woods (the fox in the photo had just walked across the yard) and have slightly hiccupy internet as a result. It's a little frustrating.

I'm probably jumping the gun a bit by signing up for the forum, as I haven't even finished SSSS yet (much to the confusion of my friend who asked me "Are you STILL reading that comic??" the other day... she was shocked when I told her just how much comic there was to read) Still, I became so obsessed so quickly that... I don't know, this seemed like the thing to do? Even though I haven't been on a forum for anything since the eighth grade?
I'm honestly more than a little nervous about joining, because I am the sort of person who cares much too much what others think of me and worries endlessly about breaking unwritten rules and irritating people, but it's not as if I have anyone to talk about SSSS with in person, so... here I am.

Really loved the comic and blasted through it in just a few days, now eagerly waiting for new updates.
Also wondering how I put those cute flags on my forum signature.

Oh I guess I should post here. I live near Seattle Washington. I discovered SSSS through my girlfriend. I like multiple things that have a post apocalypse setting but SSSS was one of the best I've ever read. It used the setting in a way that many don't. I love theorizing how to survive different things and what would be the best places to be so I decided to join the forum to talk about such things.That RPG thing sounds interesting, I'd love to help out or just know more about what some of your ideas are!

Welcome, doorcf! What is Peru like? Two of my acquaintances moved there from Poland.The country itself is nice and many places have beatiful vistas, although the weather is getting harsher thanks to climate change, the political climate is currently being horrible but many people cwill be helpful. On my opinion they will be ok as Peru offers a lot of opportunities when looking for them.

Sounds very nice (except the political climate, which isn't great in Poland either). I hope they're doing alright there. Thank you for the information!

I started reading SSSS last week, finished it the day after, and proceeded to read it several times over and here we are today! A feeeew may or may not recognize me from the last three streams on Twitch as artemis_x_moon, I just changed that to Sol_arity now though, because I first had that account when I was like, 12.
Anyhow, I love Minna's art, totally goals.
I totally fell in love with the comic because of the completely unique perspective on the post-apocalyptic story! I can't really express how much I love the story because I'm kind of terrible with words but, eh.
I hope to continue loving Minna's comic with you all far into the future!

I haven't been to any livestreams yet, but from what I can tell, this is a really cool and friendly community, so I look forward to catching some of those in the future. I also have a burning idea for a fanfic I wanna write... so, we'll just see how that plays out.

My friend introduced me to this wonderful comic maybe two months ago. I'm glad I took her bait and checked it out myself (and well, I continued her job by spreading the word to my other friends :D).
I'm also a native Finn. So if anyone has any questions about some Finnish text, Saimaa, Finland, learning Finnish or language itself, just message me! I'm just glad to help.
So far, this community has been nice and maybe the best one I have ever been in. People respect each other and are very supportive to Minna. I always love listening the Twitch streams even if I barely comment there. Keep being amazing, so far I've had fun time here! ^^

I read SSSS for the first time a few weeks ago and loved it (I read a Redtail’s Dream a while back, as well). I really admire Minna’s work, both artistically and also the way she develops characters and relationships. The community around the comics also comes across as really safe and friendly, so I thought I’d join.
So yeah. Hi!

I have been reading SSSS for literally years but this is the first time I have decided to reach out to the community. I speak English, Hindi and Japanese and I currently live in the Midwest of the US, but I will be studying in Japan once September rolls around.
I used to have a tradition where I would reread the comic once it started to be cold outside, it was a fun way of welcoming in the winter season. This last read through apparently really got to me though because now my google shopping recommendations include things like the Kalevala (which I have yet to read :( ) and baby carriers for my cat (who adopted me, but I didn't resist, back in December)
Reading SSSS brings out so much creative energy in me, I have always been able to imagine elaborate worlds in my head but my favorite may always be the SSSS world. I owe a lot of joy to this comic and I want to get to know everyone else who loves it just as much as I do.
lets be friends!!!

I'm from Finland and I live in a small town which is a part of Kanta-Häme. I'm a native Finnish speaker and I speak English almost fluently. I'm currently studying Swedish and German in school, but I'm very bad at both.
I got into SSSS very recently when compared to most here, only during this summer. A friends friend recommended it to me, and I binged all the pages in a few days. I fell in love with the writing and characters instantly, and I hope to buy the hardcover books someday.
The youtube video about 'self-fanart' Minna made gave me the push I needed to finally start my own webcomic, so I'm glad to her about that too!
I'm not very good with forums such as this, so I'll most likely resort to lurking for the most part, but I still hope to meet new people and chat about fun things!

I made it here! Mostly because Disqus won’t let me post or reply at the moment, but also because the Gods of the Interner smiled upon me and let my registration through after only about five errors. Last time I tried I got tired of trying.
Soo, I’m a Finnish fan, old enough to have teenage sons. I got hooked early this year (2019) and binged Adventure One. Adventure Two had already began, but I tried to hold off for a while to avoid waiting. It didn’t work. So for a while now I’ve been actively commenting on the page comments and spreading Haikus and sometimes other poetry, as well as various tidbits I can dig up because of being a native speaker of Finnish. Irritatingly I have work and family, which consume a lot of time that could otherwise be spent on SSSS! :haw:
Also you can totally look me in the eyes. There is no hive mind or anything. At all. Promise!

I found SSSS through another comic almost exactly three years ago, but have somehow only just caught up. This is also my first chapter break experience, I've heard some pretty dreadful things about these long pageless weeks so wish me luck with that.
Much like Jitter, I too have arrived at the forum because the comments are down on Disqus, and though I don't post there nearly as often as our other, more experienced minnions, I'm still pretty bummed that they aren't working at the moment. Hopefully the problem will be fixed soon, but in any case, now feels like a highly appropriate time to finally join the forum regardless of comment issues and what-have-you.
Welp that's plenty enough from me, I'm looking forward to meeting y'all and having some fun fresh times :D

I actually discovered SSSS about half a year ago on some website’s list of best webtoons, and it’s been my favorite ever since (man, I gotta reread it again some time)! I’ve been trying to register in the forum for months, and now IT FINALLY WORKED! YUS!
Anyways, happy to be here!!

I also go by Harvest.
Y en Discord me llama Patata.
Hablo en castellano.
I type in English.
I've also had a couple of abortive attempts to learn Quechua and Gaeilige but those haven't ended well (yet)
I have family history with the Catholic Church in the British Isles, but in my own life I've been more connected with Southern Perú or the Mid-Atlantic US.
I've only been reading SSSS only since the end of September (I got caught up in one night, because I have the bad habit of substituting webcomics for sleep)

I don’t have the same profile picture because I didn’t have the Vellamo one at hand when I managed to get in. But at least I have the same name here :) (Unlike Archive of our Own where I’m Jiiri and have no profile picture at all. Don’t know why I did this ro myself.)

I stopped reading SSSS due being completely overwhelmed by school, but I've finished my program and NOW I'M BACK! I haven't yet caught up, but I finished the first adventure, which I managed to remain unspoiled for (probably because my entire life was school)!!!!!! ARGH
Anyway, yes. Hello everyone!

Thanks RanVor. I've been a fan of the comic since 2014. Um. I will admit that this forum is on a hosting account I may or may not have had my name on since middle of 2015. Is that bad? Pretty sure that's bad. Oh well, I am hear to crush faux accounts. I cannot wait to hear their faux lamentations. Faux real.

Started reading SSSS about 4-5 years ago during my "gotta read every webcomic ever" phase, dropped it for like 3 years and caught up again last week.
Haven't been active on a forum since I was 12 so I'm not sure how much I'll end up posting here, but I thought I'd say hi at least!

Hello and welcome, invisiBee!Thanks! It had actually been long enough since i last read the comic that i forgot like 90% of the plot, so it was almost like reading it for the first time again except with 3+ years worth of extra pages this time. (maybe i'm actually super lucky! :0)
I'll definitely show up in the Art Museum but hopefully I won't be too shy to post elsewhere too!

I currently speak French and English fluently and am learning German and Italian in order to communicate with my non-English speaking relatives, and may attempt to learn Mandarin in the future.
My current interests are baking, reading, coding, and swimming, although I'm not particularly good at any of those. I'm not employed, but I do work a teacher's aide at my school.
Anyways, that's my introduction, so hello everyone!
P.S. My Disqus ID is Damien Hang for anyone who's interested.

My name is Mariiii, I am a French girl student who fell in love with SSSS and Minna Sundberg's work. Actually, I discovered this universe by chance ! I was looking for a comic for my cousin's birthday and I saw a RTD book in a bookshop, I really found the cover beautiful, and the story sounded promising, so I decided to buy it for myself, and I think I can say that was the best decision of the year ! :))
I really loved a RTD so I searched for other Minna's works and I found SSSS ! I bought the comics, read them and the online chapters, and I loved it so much that I couldn't resist to register on the forum to say hello to the other fans ! The fact that you all seem to be really nice also encouraged me to register :D
For the other stuff about me, I am actually learning Japanese, and I know a little bit of Spanish (I studied Spanish for something like 8 years as a second langage at school, but I stopped and now I'm just good at understanding it :'D).
I am a big fan of japanese's culture and I like to discover other cultures in general. I like to read all sort of books (but especially thriller, fantasy or sci-fi) and I also like to cook and play badminton !
Thank you for taking the time of reading this !

May I recommend the Fan Forum Advent Calendar that is currently running! Check it out to get a feel of some of the creations of the community. Not to mention the ande art etc threads of course! I have been here for a few months now (been reading for about a year) but I find the hundreds of pages of art overwhelming - should I start at the beginning or the end? So the calendar is a smaller bite :lalli:

I ended up here through aRTD and SSSS, in that order haha. I only know English but I am attempting french and hope to become fluent. (that's a big hope...) I have two cats who are very distinct in their personalities, and two chickens that are the same. I am trying to learn how to draw but it's been a bit discouraging and confusing so far, writing is more my strong point. I'm not gonna give up though! I am very happy to have found this forum, it seems really nice so far.

I don't know if you've checked out some of the innovations such as Minna's Twitch art-streaming sessions (under the name Hummingfluff), or her side project, City of Hunger. The latter should especially interest you, as she's teaching herself game coding by developing an AU set on an ice planet. http://www.hummingfluff.com/ (http://www.hummingfluff.com/)

I've been reading SSSS since 2015 (when Emil met the dog/rescued Kitty!) but I only ever lurked until last month I decided to upload some of my writing to AO3 (about to finish my first ever fanfiction today 😅- I'm editing the final chapter right now). I read a couple webcomics but SSSS has been the crowning favourite for five years and I doubt that's ever going to change!
I live in the UK; my hobbies are writing, adventuring, trying out crazy food, and linguistics. I have a crazy dog called Rudy who will definitely not survive the apocalypse but I love him anyway.
Feels great to finally be getting involved in the awesome community!

Some may have already seen me through my attempts to post on Disqus, more or less successfulyl.
I discovered Minna's works via A Redtail's Dream (which was my Christmas gift) then I followed up with the first two volumes of SSSS before reading in two days all the chapters available.
Suffice to say that I loved it, then to the rhythm of Minna's publications, I read a little more and participated on Disqus conversations. The community seemed so kind that I decided to join the forum and .... Tadaaa?
What more can be said ? MMh ... I am 25 years old, I am French, currently a biotech doctoral student. I try to find a little time in the evenings to draw and get into digital drawing. I particularly like the color palettes of Minna and at the moment I am a bit of a copycat, the time to find my style. I also write my own novel and paint. Mmh. I like sweets.
I hope to get to know you, even if I have already had the pleasure of discovering you via Fanfics and poems posted to the discussion threads and on AO3. Please, keep it up, your work are trully amazing and stunning and wow. I love to read them !
I am sorry for my bad English but I hope chatting with you will help me to improve. Looking forward to enjoy time with you guys.

How has everyone been? I am still shocked. I just happened to be scrolling through my mobile bookmarks and stumbled across this forum again. So much has changed! There's a Discord now? And an actual PerSSSSona RP thread? They finally got that off the ground? I will admit I am VERY VERY behind on the comic, but with the forum still alive and active, maybe I really should get back into it? XoX

Trinka?!? I am glad to see you again, because I do remember you! I didn’t get to converse much with you because it was April 2015 before I managed to get onto the comments and the Forum, but I was reading from the very beginning of SSSS (my greatniece got me interested in Minna’s work partway through A Redtail’s Dream). So nice to have you back!

As is the comic! You absolutely should read it right now from the beginning! The Adventure 1 in Denmark has been concluded and Adventure 2 is in full swing. I strongly recommend you read the story now before reading further the current discussions here, since if you’ve been away since 2014 you are in for some awesome as well as some very touching stuff.

Currently in high school, but I spend a lot of time procrastinating. Full time nerd!! I enjoy writing,

Anyways, I'll probably share my SSSS fanarts on the art thread, and join in on a few discussions from time to time (if I can get my head around how forums work ^^").
If you want to find me somewhere else on the internet, here are a few of my social medias where I post my lil' drawings (I'm most likely to be active on instagram and Deviantart). So... yeah, here comes the awkward self-advertising ^^"

As I mentioned in the comment section last night, someone in another forum mentioned how this might not be the best time to read the prologue of SSSS. Given that I'm also rather busy in the moment and have deadlines coming up, I naturally had no other choice than spending most of the next few nights reading the entirety of the comic.
I don't know how active I'm going to be here, given that I already spend way too much time in said other forum.

I first got yeethaw into SSSS, then as she, Count and I all have study periods together, we managed to persuade Count into reading it too so we could all discuss it together (and so he would actually understand our very enthusiastic rambling)

I was introduced to S4 by Roisin quite a while back.
I'm a retiree living in south-eastern Australia whose interests include history (notably military and medieval), true crime, and the unusual/weird (though I tend to look on much of the paranormal with a rather jaundiced eye), and RPGs (the games, not the anti-tank weapons). I used to LARP, but no longer, because of age and health and a predilection for parentheses (OK, not that last bit).
I'm also an aspiring novelist (Roisin is my muse) with a number of projects including fantasy, SF, alternative military, and a couple of thrillers. My primary project is a fantasy tetralogy with a two-volume steampunk crossover.

Welcome!
Thank you, Purple Wyrm!
Just so you know - when applied to the anti-tank weapon, RPG doesn't stand for Rocket-Propelled Grenade - that's a backronym. The original Russian term for the weapon is the Ручной Противотанковый Гранатомёт (Ruchnoy Protivotankoviy Granatomyot), which roughly translates as "Hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher."
(Apologies... just my military nerddom (?) manifesting.)
Post by: Róisín on March 24, 2020, 07:03:03 AM
And if you visit Archive of Our Own, you will find that there is quite a bit of Russian language fanfic, in SSSS and other fandoms, just to keep your hand in with the language. And some of my stuff is there too, I’m Tanist on Archive. I would love to see what kind of fanfic you produce once you get deeper into the story. Dunno if you have written fanfic, but to judge by your military history stuff and novels, you would likely be good at it. I only encountered the concept once I joined SSSS fandom, and was nervous about starting to write it, since as you know from our world, most of what I have ever had published has been poetry and factual articles. Again, welcome!

A friend of mine I mentioned this too has read aRTD though, and plans to read SSSS too at some point.

Just so you know - when applied to the anti-tank weapon, RPG doesn't stand for Rocket-Propelled Grenade - that's a backronym. The original Russian term for the weapon is the Ручной Противотанковый Гранатомёт (Ruchnoy Protivotankoviy Granatomyot), which roughly translates as "Hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher."
That is quite fascinating! Thank you!

I too am someone who chose a highly ironic time to read SSSS. And I can't even blame anyone for reccing it to me at these trying times, since I'm finally here because of a friend who has been trying to get me read SSSS for literal years now. I always knew I would be very much into Minna's gorgeous art style and the usage of Nordic mythologies in a post apocalyptic setting, but I'm bad @ reading incomplete works, so I didn't follow my friends recommendations. Now though, with social distancing giving me lots of free time, I decided to finally follow her advice. Binge read the whole comic last Sunday & then took a deep deep dive into fanfiction land & started a cosplay project (Onni's second adventure outfit). And now I'm here, lol.
Anyways. I'm 22-year-old Finn living very near where the comic is taking place atm. I'm both excited and nervous about the fact that SSSS has gotten me to pick up cosplaying again after, like, seven years. My usual role as a fandom member is a fanfic writer, but I'm sure I will soon get there as well with SSSS. So, keep tuned for terrible progress pics of my costume & either semi poetic and angsty character study fics or teeth-rotting fluff, you never know with me.

I'm a fourth year college student in the United States (aged twenny-two, math and visual art) who is not taking classes right now. I make art sometimes and animate sometimes and write sometimes. I also like reading about proofs 'n stuff (and doing them too if they aren't terribly difficult). I language poorly and only know English and a bit of Mandarin Chinese unless you're counting formal languages.
I'm Mebediel's sister (the one who introduced her to SSSS). I've been reading SSSS since the get go but am a lurker at heart and so never really have commented or made an account here. I will probably mostly continue to lurk, but also hi!

Somethings about me !!
I'm from tiny island-country with no seasons other than hot, humid, and rainy. It's splat right on/next to the equator !
Currently a hobby artist delving into the world of digital; mostly I scribble with whatever that's laying around, very very occasionally write poems. Other things I enjoy are reading, mythology, and music (jazz !! 80s pop !! folk !! rock !! all that good stuff !!)
Languages I speak are English, and Chinese; which I'm failing. I'm absolutely terrible at languages :'D
Well, thank you for reading !! I hope we get along !!

I found SSSS by looking for similar webcomics to a favourite of mine, Kill Six Billion Demons (https://killsixbilliondemons.com/ (https://killsixbilliondemons.com/)). Seeing as language is a common point of discussion here, I speak English (obviously) as well as French. I hope that you're all having a lovely day!

My name is Chelsea, I'm from LA, USA, and I speak English (native) and Spanish (fluent as a heritage speaker, but it's still kind of choppy). I recently turned 18, and out of pure nostalgia for my pre-teen years I reread SSSS, which I hadn't looked at in nearly five years. Even after so long I remembered the characters and certain panels vividly and I can't believe I let it go untouched for so long.
Hope to join some fun discussions~

I speak Russian, English, and a bit of German (actually, German now looks like a big rusty thing I don't know how to carry and don't want to leave, but I hope it'll become a working engine some day). I started to read SSSScomic a week ago and I think it's great. I love the characters, the plot, the way the world looks and works, and I'm really happy about the language aspect. I haven't registered in any forums for like... eternity, and I'm glad to be here.

My name is John, and I'm a long(ish) time lurker. I'm now a college Junior majoring in Math-Scientific Computation, but I found this comic back in highschool through aRTD, which I had stumbled upon(and finished) a day earlier. CoVID finally brought me to post since I'm stuck at home with no books to read.
The past five years haven't been super kind to my hobbies, and I eventually had to drop my Literature minor, but I look forwards to getting more involved with drawing and storytelling - even if that just means watching other people's amazing projects. I'm really grateful to SSSS and the fan forum for helping me stay positive through difficult times, and I'm excited to officially introduce myself.

I’m sure you have discoverd Minna’s YouTube and Twitch, where she draws and talks about her art (well, on Twitch streams she draws and talk about random things that come up in the discussion, but largely food). There are also links to speedpaint videos by several of out artists, mostly in the Art Museum threads.

Yep! Just phocena is fine as I'm not used to being called by my name online. I really like Marine animals and Antarctic creatures, at least from a distance - based on experiences with seagulls I wouldn't risk eating anything near a brown skua, which are much smarter, and hawk sized.

I've been a lurker for so long of both a Red Tail's Dream and Stand Still, Stay Silent that I thought well why not finally get involved with the community!
I am from Russia, and currently living in England, which essentially means I speak 2.5 languages and don't know any of them. I've been trying to draw for even longer, now around 15 years? Never mastered it or gone beyond basic portraits with questionable noses, but The Incident made me realise that I only have so much time.
Generally, every time I see Minna's works, I feel inspired to draw or to create both illustrations, comics, or that pesky thing that is practicing and learning something new. So there's a certain level of giddiness of getting involved with the community surrounding ARTD and SSSS!

Whatup, I'm Kel, I'm [redacted] and I never frickin learned how to read.
I continue to hoard hobbies like they're going out of style, I continue to stare at languages and hope that one day I will be able to speak them, and I continue to have zero tolerance for the heat. Can someone tell the Sun to chill out slightly so that I don't melt please and thank you. Also, I now have to bemoan my university's lack of an engineering department.

A little bit about me: I’m sixteen and I’m from Russia, currently living in the USA. I can fluently speak Russian and English, kind of learned French and still studying Swedish, Finnish and Danish. I’m finishing seventh year of art-school in August and thinking about becoming an illustrator. I also write fantasy stories (or novels, I would say, for they are long ;D). There you are, a short description :)

Auxivele/Kel, welcome back! I wondered what had become of you! We remember you and we are glad to see you again! Good luck with the engineering.Thanks everyone! And thanks Róisín. I must say, I really missed hearing from our forum grandma ;). A bunch of things happened all at once and life just got away from me I suppose, but it's good to be back. The move online has made engineering more... complicated, since the courses I could normally take are no longer offered. But, my advisor is trying to help me figure out the best options.
Welcome welcome, Annuil! :)) That's an impressive number of languages, and good luck with art school! We have threads for both languages and art, if you haven't seen them already.

Hello! I'm Lallicat. I'm a relative newbie to SSSS, since I've been reading for under a year, around 7 months. My interests are reading, writing, baking, and music (I play the trombone and tuba.) My love of chocolate is only equaled by my love of cats. My two chickens are one of the bright spots in all this COVID mess, the other being this comic! I hope to be posting some fanfics or at least some poetry here, only time will tell. Butter good and do what cat everyone!

Looking foreward to your writing. I see you´re a fellow choclate-fan. Please spare some of it once you actually take over the world for the rest of us. ;) In the meantime, have fun figuring out the forum! It´s time consuming, yes, but absolutely worth it.
Butter good, and do what cat from me too! :squirrelcookie:

Just one question: When you wrote "...My love of chocolate is only equaled by my love of cats. My two chickens are one of the bright spots in all this COVID mess..." did you really meant "chickens" or your autocorrect is playing tricks on you? Not that I have anything against them, and they surely can be funny to watch sometimes... :)
Butter good!

I´m honored for the invitation. But I´m afraid, as a proud member of the Sigrun Eide for God-Emperor of the Universe Society, I am already supporting a different world dominator. :sigrun:
However, I won´t stand in the way for you to reach your goal. At least as long as the chocolate doesn´t run out. >:D

Mirasol. as another society member I see no problem in supporting Jitter's quest for world domination*. Our god-emperor (may her rule last forever) will have lots of work to rule the Universe, so having local rulers for each world will be useful. Jitter may be Earth's governor and assure that we never run out of chocolate! :)
* I just had to put it in bold! :D
Grey, I´m sure you mean Lallicat's quest for world domination. :)
But well then, in this case, count me in as one of your allies Lallicat!
What is this! I am appalled by such allegations! I have never ever mentioned I would be interested in world domination! Europe, on the other hand...
I see we´re starting an entire new government-system over here...

Introductions:
I'm a 20yo college student studying Classical history. My interests are, among other things, Tolkien, zombies, fantasy, superheros, writing, Ancient Greek and Latin, languages in general, and religious history. I discovered SSSS through a friend's reccomendation. I am at Chapter 2 of Adventure 1, so still early yet, but I like it a lot. The art is very beautiful, and I have been promised gore and am looking forward to more of it (I've seen some stuff).

Post by: Jitter on July 20, 2020, 02:04:31 PM
There are no spoiler warnings for the comic itself at all here on the Forum, so as wonderful it would be have to have you join us now, I have add to the choir of warnings - don’t look at anything of you may learn too important things too early.
Many binge the comic very quickly first and then reread at a slower pace :)

I only speak English for now, but I'm (kind of) learning Japanese and just started Welsh (I've been planning to learn Swedish since before I heard of SSSS but I saw the dragon flag and couldn't help myself, so that won't happen for a while yet, heh).
I have two cats to keep the mice (and associated diseases) at bay. Unfortunately, they can't do the same to the heat.

Welsh is an interesting and old language, and, as I heard, a pretty hard one (well, Japanese, probably, is kind of hard as well) so I wish you luck with it! ;D
This forum is the best place to share interest in learning languages. ^-^

I started reading SSSS in 2017 (I think it was around page 771 of Adventure 1). I sometimes make fan art.
I'm 19 and I live in the US near Chicago.
I only speak English most of the time but I've always been trying to learn a ton of languages with mixed results. It's fun but I don't think I'll ever speak them in public (hence the name Tacita). I used to speak Spanish as a little kid, but now I'm too unsure about my skills and rarely ever need to speak it anyway, just to understand it. I took Latin and ancient Greek in high school, but my Greek skills have atrophied somewhat. Right now I'm focused on learning some Finnish. I'll start reading A Redtail's Dream soon.
I like drawing/painting, reading, watching old movies, chilling with my cat Hobbes, walking through the woods, and history. Oh, and wasting time on the internet. I always have at least 50 tabs open. ;D

Hello tacita! As you can tell by my signature, I have also tried learning many a language. I think I started around a dozen languages on Duolingo, though few of them have gotten very far.
We also have the language forums that you both can look at, it sounds like something y'all might be interested in.

I am from the US and I grew up in Alaska but I currently live in Washington state. I realized a couple years ago that I hated my desk job so I worked for an arborist for a couple years, and I recently got new job learning overhead electrical work (power lines). In my free time I like gardening and riding my bike, and I got a motorcycle last winter that I'm constantly tinkering with. I have an awesome dog named Rainier.
Looks like people are sharing languages since it's pretty diverse crowd on here: I speak conversational German, but I haven't had anyone to practice with for years so it's rusty. Usually comes back pretty quick though.

Why is the word "moredhel" so familiar? A character somewhere, but where?
Post by: moredhel on September 08, 2020, 05:38:41 AM
E. g. there are at least three Metal Bands called Moredhel. And in Raymond E. Feist's novels is a whole race named Moredhel. Although the word is singular.

The word moredhel is sindarin and was used by many people since Tolkiens days.I knew it! I studied sindarin as a language (I could even say some stuff, at least read with right pronunciation) and I’m not sure but probably it’s the only “language” that has “dh” in it :))

I’m from the Pacific Northwest, and unfortunately I only speak English, though I hope to learn more languages soon. I draw, read, and write, and I’m passionate about mythology and folktales, which is part of what brought me to SSSS in the first place.

This is a good place to give a try to publishing some of your writing! The fan-fic oriented works go to the SSSS Scriptorium thread on the SSSS board, while other, non-SSSS work is welcome to the Forum Scriptorium thread on the General board!
As for your nickname... I seem to have a vague recollection of someone who is the Autarch in Iain M Banks’ Culture world, but I can’t put my finger on it. Then there’s Gene Wolfe’s Autarch. Is this even close?

You got It!
The Autarch is the leader of the Commonwealth society in Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe. His appearance has been described as androgynous. I will say no more for those who might be interested in reading.
Thanks for telling me about the scriptorium! I'll take a nice look at it. Having a good time so far.

And I wouldn't be able to find the answer because Gene Wolf is one of the many great writers in my "to read" list. A list that seems to grow and grow, which is good, but also frustrating sometimes. :)

(Wow, that’s a long name! And and an interesting meaning) never heard of the book or the author, however... Better late then never!
(Actually, my own username comes from the stories I write, if anyone is interested, ;)but I have had a hard time translating them from Russian into English, so it’s pretty hard with publishing anywhere.. language barriers...)

I joined the forum like a month ago and have been reading SSSS since this May, but I’ve been putting off making a post in this introduction thread (or any of the threads really) for literally the entirety of last month BUT NOW IT IS DONE! Whee.
Now for the actual introduction part:
I’m 15, a girl, from the west coast of the US, I draw things, sometimes worldbuild stuff, and write bizarre poetry sometimes. I also like history-related topics.
I hope I put the right stuff in there?
EDIT: since I’m rather new to forum based talking and post and stuff, I also meant to ask if there’s like a discord server or other chatting method that exists for the SSSS fandom

Yes, there is an active discord server for SSSS - you can find the link here: https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=870.0, along with the links to other chatrooms, although I don't know how active the other ones are.

And hey! There's IRC chat over there (https://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=ssss)! You don't need no registration or anything, just set your nickname, click "Join chat" and chat with people* who are there! And there's also good ol' comment section (reputedly the nicest on the Internet).

There are the SSSS Scriptorium and SSSS Art museum SSSS-related stuff on the SSSS board, and Forum Scriptorium and Forum Art Museum threads on the General Discussion Board. And then of course the Poetry thread for those bizarre poems of yours :) And as already mentioned, the page comments (by Disqus under the comic page) are active and always welcoming too!

Welcome SoggyPanini! I'd say that yes, you put a fine right stuff, because worldbuild, drawing, poetry and history-related all go very well with SSSS and particularly with the people that "inhabits" this Forum! :)
Thanks for reminding me of the Discord server, Keep Looking! I do have an account, but seldom drop by. I'll make an effort to show up more often.
And your post reminds me that I've been around for months and still didn't make my introduction... I'll try to do that this century, promise! ;)

I'm Ronja, or Ronnie (pronounced like macaroni), whichever works!
I'm a 15 y/o artist and aspiring graphic novel creator who also really really likes bones and who lives on the east coast of the United States (although my father is originally from Sweden!).
I use she/her pronouns, and I'm a bit of a one-trick pony, as I only speak English. (I'm trying oh so hard to learn French and I know bits and pieces of Swedish, but not nearly enough to be conversational.)
I've only been reading SSSS for around two weeks now (?) but I'm... Quite Obsessed to be honest.
I don't know how active I'll be on here, as forums aren't really my thing, but it's nice to meet you all!

I'd love to see some of your work. Don't be shy, we are a nice bunch with some excellent artists among us, and we love drawings, even if they are not about SSSS.
And there are several persons here (myself included) that will tell you they are not much into Forums, with this one being the exception. So make yourself at home.

I hope we may have a long-lasting, bone-filled friendship. What a strange sentance. Anyways, yes, actually! Ronja is who I'm named after. My mother looks a lot like the character in the book, though I take more after her red-haired, freckled friend.
It's funny, normally how I introduce myself is asking if anyone's heard of Pipi Longstocking, then saying I'm named after another one of the author's works, but this is the first time I've been asked about it first haha. I have yet to watch the show but I really should!

You totally should! Its a very enjoyable read with strong themes of family and friendship, and like Jitter said, folklore and adventures in Scandinavian forests. Did I mention old castles and robbers(as one might guess)? That too!

I am Oleander.
I just started reading SSSS this week and just caught up to the latest page yesterday (so now I can chat without worrying about spoilers)
I really liked this story and especially the characters (my favourite is Lalli :lalli: because my internet friend got me to read it by telling me about him because I was looking for more stories with really fleshed out autistic-coded characters, I was very surprised and happy when I saw Minna reference this reading in the author note on page 519)
I'm a bit busy with other projects at the moment, but I really want to draw fan art of the characters in this series (I drew my profile picture)
I heard this is a very welcoming community, so I'm looking forward to using this forum and sharing art and headcanons here :sparkle:

I read lots of webcomics in the last few months and came across SSSS and aRTD via Hiveworks a few weeks ago.
After bingeing through the comic, I noticed that a lot was going on in the comments, and one thing led to the other:
I got infected with the virus of creating art about SSSS and sharing it with other people. I began writing little pieces of music to the texts of some SSSS-poets.
Currently there are pieces about a car-troll, a comb, sheep and “necessities” in the pipeline.
I dunno how these pieces will turn out.
More about me:
I study mathematics (writing my Bachelor’s thesis this spring semester), and the nickname I chose is some mathematical thing.
Well, it’s already late and I’m overthinking this message.
Be well everybody.

But (at least in my phone) if the screen is horizontal those links and the username become visible on the top-right corner, and the main menu shifts from icons to text.

I'm 25, run a radio podcast about murder mystery, and I've read a couple webcomics (El Goonish Shive, Girl Genius) But SSSS is really blowing me away in how much of the storytelling isn't done through dialogue. EGS in particular will have months of content which amounts to one conversation in-universe, and I've been really blown away with how Minna uses the colour palette and subtle gestures and facial expressions to tell the story. It's great. Anyway. I'm excited to see how the story unfolds from here and hopefully satisfy the withdrawal I'm feeling after catching up to the current page aha.

Some Minnions bring talents to share from the get-go, others develop after they find inspiration here. I personally wrote my first fanfiction only a few years ago, in my 50s, for this fandom. I drew obsessively as a child and sporadically after that, but took it up again after joining this community. I no longer get wound up about drawing cartoons instead of Ahhht, and have enjoyed applying that to the SSSS universe and beyond. It's just that sort of accepting community.

We are all curious to see your story/art.
Postap settings are great because they allow you to pick what you want to keep from our existing world, creating a easily recognizable situation where you can add your favorite "sauce" (magic, aliens, ancient races, etc...).
There's a fascination in using places that we already know but in a different context, and some advantages over creating and explaining a whole new (believable) world.
(not to mention that the impending dangers of war, overpopulation, technological hazards, natural disasters, climate change and so on pose to humankind, creating the sensation that an apocalypse is a situation that can really happen. Some would even say that will happen. I'm an optimist, tough, and like to believe that we will find ways to overcome our problems.)
Post by: Jitter on February 07, 2021, 04:26:37 PM
But yeah, I know what you mean. Hopefully it won’t fall on us, or our kids, or grandkids etc.
Post by: thegreyarea on February 08, 2021, 07:28:00 AM
Well, it will happen. Hopefully not now, or within the foreseeable future which could be considered to be a few hundreds or if we want to stretch it a bit, even a few thousand years (although if you look back 2000 years, it’s clear we can’t possibly imagine what humanity will be like 2000 years into the future, if we do manage to survive). But in the last instance the Sun will die, so even if no supervolcanoes or colliding asteroids ever happen again (and they will happen), there is an end. All things must end.Luckily there are billions of years ahead of Earth before the Sun turns in a red giant. :) So I'm quite sure that if something lives on Earth by that time it won't be anything like us.
But yeah, I know what you mean. Hopefully it won’t fall on us, or our kids, or grandkids etc.
You don't have to look back 2000 years. Just imagine the World in 1821, or in 1921! Humans made extraordinaire, and terrible, things. But not counting the eventual supervolcano or asteroid (that may happen in ten or ten thousand years) we are facing a tipping point with the conjunction of excessive population growth + environmental pollution + climate change. I'd say that the next hundred years will be very dangerous and we, our kids and grandkids will be affected, hopefully in a mild way (to live in the more developed countries helps a lot in that). All that said I have great hope in the next generation, and if we, together, find ways to overcome the XXI Century's problems, we may pass the Great Filter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Filter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Filter)) and have an amazing Future ahead.
So we can think how privileged we are to have a actual role in a decisive moment for our Civilization! (I'm that guy that, like Mikkel, always see the half-full glass, remember?) :)

And yeah, I well know that everything perishes, including worlds. I think we just need to make the best job of what we have, while we have it.

Grey, now that you mention it, you may be right that we are facing a Great Filter! (Notice, I say a, not the). We are at a turning point, that’s for sure. There are many reasons to despair, but also emerging signs of actually starting to take things seriously. Things like banks setting numerical targets on the carbon loading of their investments and loans. There’s only so much we can do one Róisín at a time :) As we aren’t all Róisín.
This discussion is veering far away from Introduction Thread however. If we want to continue, we should open a proper thread. Maybe even in the Politics board.

And I reckon that there are things all of us can do. Anyone can be a hero for the earth. As the filk song ‘Steps’ has it:
‘Step by step the longest march
Can be won, can be won.
Many stones can form an arch
Singly none, singly none.
And together what we will
Can be accomplished still.
Many drops can turn a mill.
Singly none, singly none.’
Saving the world one backyard at a time may sound weird, but we can try.

I have it associated in my head with Pete Seeger, but apparently he didn't write it:

https://farfringe.com/stlt157-step-by-step-the-longest-march/
(that's two separate links, in case it shows up confusingly; the first to Seeger singing it, the second to a bit about the history of the song.)
Jitter, no, we're not all Róisín (if everybody were like Róisín, we wouldn't be in this mess in the first place); but almost everybody can pick a corner that they can work in. Find your corner, and do what you can there. Enough people doing that may pull us out yet.

I'm Feya and I've been eartips deep into Minna's comics for about two months and I'm about halfway through 2nd re-reads now. Anyways, I'm not ready to dive back into Tumblr hell, but I found this forum and I'd like to give it a try. ^^
A little about me: I'm a biology (botany focusing) student in my mid 20s from the teeny-tiny geographical heart of Europe - Czech Republic :cz: . I've always had a big passion for webcomics (TwoKinds, Ava's Demon, The Boy Who Fell, Prequel, The Weave, ...) but so far this is probly next to Ava one that struck me the most. Apart from that, I quite enjoy RPGs, both tabletop and on PC, MMOs included (I actively play Elder Scrolls Online), listening to various kinds of music, drawing, crafting (wires, poly clay, epoxy resin, sewing), taking photos of plants and cuddling cats. Speaking of cats, I have 2 babies: a ginger boy Simba (2,5 y) and tricolour princess Momo (0,5 y). Favourite aesthetics: indie coffeeshop, goblincore, dreamy cute and creepy cute.
It's nice to meet you all! ^^

Hello Feya and welcome to the Forum! (This is btw the first time I encounter the Aesthetics in a natural situation, as opposed to having a friend tell me about their kids’ aesthetics. Goes to show I’m old)Hehe, it's not a common thing, I guess? I'm just really "living" especially the goblincore niches lately, so I thought it might be good to mention it. :D

I hope it didn’t feel like I was taking a jab at you! It was not meant to make fun of the aesthetics concept, let alone you! I am just fascinated about the idea, even though I don’t really understand what exactly it is. However, goblincore is specific enough that lead me to an aesthetics wiki when googled, maybe I can learn more! One of the chief reasons I love this fandom is how one always learns more from the others!
Post by: Feya on March 11, 2021, 03:57:04 AM
Feya, it’s not common in my circles but like I said, I’m old :)No worries, no offense was taken from the very start. I honestly did not expect many people to know something like goblincore even exists. :D

I personally got into it partially through Pathfinder TTRPG, when I started playing a goblin druid and I wanted to get out of the "vile and nasty creature" stereotype, so I was looking for some ideas and ended up falling in love with the aesthetic of cute mushrooms, frogs, snails, misty forests, dew-covered moss and shiny rocks. And then I came to a realization I've been dabbling into this concept my whole life, so I just rolled with it. ;D
Welcome, Feya, glad to see you.While I am personally not much of a fan of Kirkbride's fantasies, I did play and enjoy Oblivion. But MMORPGs with friends have a special place in my heart and ESO is probably the best fantasy one out there. (At least as far as I've tried and heard. The writing of most quests is impeccable and NPCs are fully dubbed. And some of the armor actually looks functional!) But hey, to each their own. ^^

Post by: Corvo on March 17, 2021, 01:29:06 PM
Let me introduce myself: I'm Corvo, I'm Italian (living near Milan) and I'm about 24 years old. I'm a writer: in fact I've published some books with Italian publishers and I'm writing other novels that I hope, when I'll have completed, to be able to publish in turn.
I started reading SSSS these days. I discovered it by pure chance, after it was recommended to me by the page of a site I usually frequent, and from the very beginning I felt very attracted to it. After some further research, I discovered this forum, and I took the decision to join in the hope of meeting other fans: from what I've seen so far, it is a very friendly community and I hope to make, in a short time, many friends.
I speak perfectly in both Italian and English, and I can also read in Spanish (although my knowledge of that language is very basic). I would love to learn other languages one day, especially Finnish, a language that has always fascinated me.
My main interests are:
- Books (both read and write them)
- Cooking (I really like to experiment in the kitchen)
- History (among the books I am writing, there is also a historical novel)
- Travel and cultural exchange through Workaway.
- Listening to music (especially classical or new-age)
- Chatting with people I know about common topics and passions
- Taking photos of landscapes
- Hanging out with people
- Roleplay: In particular, I would love to participate in a SSSS Roleplay with an original character (OC); however, first I would like to ask a few questions about both where the roleplay would take place and what is or is not permissible in creating one's character.
I have a Discord account (CorvoAttano#4263), so if you are also on there and want to contact me, you are free to do so...

Oh also, welcome to you too Feya. I missed your post before. And thanks for introducing me to goblincore. I loved it! I never thought that sort of vibe had a name. I also realized that aesthetic names should be perfect for looking up art references. Good stuff to know.

Welcome Corvo! It is indeed such a nice cozy community we have here. Glad you've been enjoying the rideas one can never leave.I dunno about the roleplays, but I can let you know that cool people here have organized a chapter break filler thingie somewhere in the SSSS Board that may interest your writer-ness. I'm just letting you know in case you'd like to catch a prompt! By the way, Is your name actually Corvo Attano, or is that an alias, or are you the protagonist of Dishonored o_O I just wondered since the first one would be a crazy coincidence. Anyway, welcome again, hope we get along! :reynir:

Thank you for your welcome, nefnef.
To answer your questions: no, my name is not Corvo Attano. I chose this pseudonym both because I'm a big fan of the Dishonored series (I've also written fanfiction about it) and to honor Edgar Allan Poe (one of my favorite writers) and my language at the same time (Corvo in Italian means raven).
For roleplay, I'd like to find (or organize, if it doesn't exist yet) a Discord server where I can do plot-related roleplay. I was also hypothesizing a my OC....
Benvenuto Corvo.

Welcome to the forum Corvo!
Welcome to the fan forum, Corvo!
Corvo, welcome to the Forum! I think you will find much here of interest.
Once again, thank you.
Can I ask a question: if anyone has any questions to ask, related to new topics they'd like to talk about (comic-related or otherwise), to whom or where can they ask them?
Post by: Jitter on March 18, 2021, 06:01:42 AM
As for questions and topics, I suggest you take a look around the forum first. Very many things already have a thread. Topics related to the comic go to the SSSS board and other subjects to General Discussion Board. Discussion about personal stuff is meant to go to the child board Personal under General Discussion Board. Language-related discussions go to the Languages board
If you find an existing thread, you are free to comment on it. If not, anyone is free to open a new thread. We also have a new Politics board, which will show up when you have enough posts (this is intended as a precaution to prevent an influx of outsiders at times of heated debates). On the Politics board, a new thread can be opened by request. Otherwise you may open a new thread by using the forum tools. There is also the General Discussion Thread, which is, as the name implies, meant for discussion that doesn't go anywhere else.
After a bit of a look around you'll get the bearings! The Forum and Website Discussion Board has the forum rules: https://ssssforum.com/index.php?board=4.0 Most importantly, the general area of the forum is to be kept PG-13 / Teens rated, so anything suitable only for adults (whether due to sexual, violent or other content) is not to be posted here. There is a Mature board too, which will be possible to access for adults, after a sufficient forum presence has been established.
On the top of the page there is the My messages tab, under which you can send personal messages. If you need support with the forum, you can contact the mods and skalds (skald is a sort of an almost-moderator role here), such as myself by personal message too. We are here to Help! :reynir:
You will not get yelled at even if you post in a wrong thread or board by accident :) Like you said, we are very friendly :) You may get told where would be better to post or get your message moved by a mod, this is also always meant as friendly instruction.
As you mention you are a writer, I would especially like to point out the upcoming Chapter Break Filler! The discussion about the next one is here: https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=1118.0 (at the start of the thread is the general discussion about what is a chapter break filler, the current one starts from page 14. There are links to the previous rounds there. You are invited!
A couple of other pages you may find interesting:
Discussion about each current page: https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=6.0
SSSS scriptorium (SSSS related writing): https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=193.0
Forum scriptorium (writing not related to SSSS): https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=257.0
General discussion: https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=5.0
As you'll quickly notice, many of the key threads have hundreds upon hundreds of pages of material :) You are not expected to go through everything before commenting on a thread :) although it's of course polite to take a look at a few of the latest pages to minimize unnecessary repetition.

And of course we are all friends here :)
BTW I only just paid attention to your last mention about role playing. Go check out the PeSSSSonas child board under SSSS board! There is an ongoing game at the moment, where you can get an idea. I’m sure they’ll also advise you in the OOC discussion thread (please don’t post in the game thread as that is for ingame only).

Sure do. I love the language,I can count and say some basic phrases, but it´ll have to wait for a bit until I start to seriously learn it. Currently I´m busy with Finnish. (Also a very nice language! I see you want to study it too. There´s a thread for it on the language-board, if you want to talk to other people who are learning it.)

That would be interesting.
The reason why I haven't started studying it yet is because I would prefer a more friendly approach, as a cultural exchange, than as a simple language lesson...

Corvo, you may find some interesting and friendly conversations on the languages board. I have only a very little Italian, most of my Italian vocabulary being botanical, culinary or very basic conversation. I can read a bit more, enough to read poetry, song lyrics and botanical texts, but not much more than that. I am sure you will find people here to talk to. By the way, do you know the work of Adel Angelica Brewer, another Italian writer, who is both a good writer and a thoroughly sweet person? I recommend her autobiographical work ‘Seventy Thousand Camels’.
Actually no, I don't know her.
However, now that you've mentioned her, I think I'll look for her novel.

Post by: Groupoid on March 20, 2021, 03:27:47 PM
I find the moral problems that were posed interesting: whom to help? Poison the Bottlestreet Gang for more runes? Killing Slackjaw or Granny Rags? What is worse or more fitting: being killed or being socially outcast and thus mentally violated (concerning the non-violent options)? Actual question to you: do you try to adhere to some morals when playing RPGs or do you ignore them and just do what gives you most fun or the best gear?
I only played the first game, and found it a piece of art. Oh look, I said something. ^-^
Post by: Corvo on March 20, 2021, 03:50:45 PM
*blush* erm I’ll try, I’d love to talk about it, but don’t know where to start :-[. I guess I liked playing the magical vigilante. It occured to me, that Dishonored and SSSS have a similar setting concerning the plague, technology level and the fact that there’s some magic around. Although they differ heavily on politics, story etc.

Question for you: what is the moment in SSSS that you liked the most?
Post by: Groupoid on March 21, 2021, 02:17:06 PM
But the single moment I liked the most was before the acid bugs attacked, (adv. 2, p. 231 (https://sssscomic.com/comic2.php?page=231) to p. 235). Lots of cute Reynir with Kitty (Minna drew him darker eyebrows during that scene, and I like a lot how it looks), a peaceful and funny scene. And lots of fun poems in the comments (especially including p.235). :reynir:

I liked Iceland a lot, because there everyone was safe and happy, and it was just peaceful until Onni left.

I discovered SSSS a few years ago and fell in love with the art, the story and the worldbuilding. I sporadically read the comments on disqus and browse this forum - though I never contributed myself - and noticed how friendly and engaging the fan community is.
Today I decided to visit this forum again, and yes, it was because of Lovely People. Reading Minna's latest short novel left me quite confused, and I was really happy to find a very mature, respectful and insightful discussion about it on this message board. The odd sense of detachment I was left with was compensated by a strong feeling of connection to some of the contributions I've read. I'm not sure I'll contribute to the thread myself, but I thought that since I've spent some time reading its content the polite thing to do would be to join the forum and at least say hello. :)
About me: I was born and raised in Italy, but spent most of my adult life in Norway. At the moment I happen to be living in Germany.

Reading Minna's latest short novel left me quite confused, and I was really happy to find a very mature, respectful and insightful discussion about it on this message board. The odd sense of detachment I was left with was compensated by a strong feeling of connection to some of the contributions I've read. I'm not sure I'll contribute to the thread myself, but I thought that since I've spent some time reading its content the polite thing to do would be to join the forum and at least say hello. :)
About me: I was born and raised in Italy, but spent most of my adult life in Norway. At the moment I happen to be living in Germany.
No way, you are an Italian too? Me too!
Welcome tot his amazing forum!

I have sometimes posted in the Commentariat. I'm Tarnagh Mythandrone on Disqus. I've tried my hand a few times at poetry on comics that inspired me to try. I'm nowhere nearly as good or as prolific as The Regular Poets but I always enjoy reading them. :)
I live in Maine, in the United States. I don't speak any other languages, and I consider that a lack because I've always wanted to learn but never had a real opportunity to try. Perhaps I'll pick up a little here. I don't know how prolific of a poster I'll end up being here but I definitely want to continue to keep company with you wonderful people even if I don't often have much to say.
I first saw Minna's Language Tree as a post someone had made ... on Facebook, I think. I went looking for the origins of it and discovered a Whole Entire Comic! Very exciting stuff ... I plowed through to current (at the time) on SSSS and then went back and read aRDT, and then resigned myself to waiting for updates on SSSS. I've been reading for two or three years, I guess.
Recent Developments have made me think that being more involved with this forum may be a good idea, so here I am. Hello, Everyone! :)

So hi I'm mate888 I'm from the world's butt also known as Argentina, I speak Spanish and English fluently, I can speak and read some Portuguese, I struggle at French and I can say a few words in Guarani.
I really liked SSSS's (so many s) art and worldbuilding and will probably check out other projects Minna goes with like the cute bunny comic everyone seems to be loving.

I'm a 22-year old Dutch girl, and I've had an interest in Finland ever since I became a fan of Finnish metal bands in secondary school. One thing led to another and I ended up reading Year in Hereafter, a webcomic which is also Finnish and which some of you here will know. That naturally led me here. The themes of the Kalevala and general Finnish culture made me become even more fascinated with Finland, and so five years ago, I finally started learning Finnish for real. Parallel to that, as a fan of anime and Japanese games, I've also been learning Japanese. At the moment I feel like I'm at an intermediate level for both, and I've tentatively started to pick up Spanish.
I'm not entirely comfortable with learning languages together with other people and prefer to do so by myself, which is why I've been quiet up until this point, but I've always enjoyed the atmosphere around here and I hope I will be able to talk with you some more. It's a pretty strange time to be entering this community, but it's nice to meet you all.

Languages in order of proficiency: Portuguese (native), English (pretty good but can't make speaking noises for the life of me), German (learning), Swedish (learning), Japanese (mostly vocabulary), Finnish (so little can't really claim to be "learning" yet), Spanish (might be able to mash up something intelligible from Portuguese + an year of school classes eons ago).
Now let's get into the very serious real reason I came to in this thread: What's up with the cookies and dream ducks?!?!
I'm one of those people who quietly reads the comments under every page and this has been intriguing me. Where did these come from? I must know!

Lallicat, that’s exactly where the Dream Duck originated. Nowadays Crumpite raises them and always has some in the hatchery :) 🦆
As for the cookies... I don’t know why they started to happen. There was some discussion about that just recently, but ai didn’t follow it up. Mirasol is the current cookie chef in chief, but there are always enough to gi around. The squirrels have a high work ethic. Or do they?

About me: 30+ M from Belgium, the land of fries, waffles and chocolate. I started reading SSSS 8 months ago, binged it up till that point in about a day or three-four? I also check Gunnerkrigg Court, Penny-Arcade, Goblins, XKCD, GITP/OOTS weekly and used to be a big fan of Dr. McNinja and Erfworld (I still am a big fan of both, just sad they ended).
Besides that I speak 4 languages (Dutch, French, English, Spanish) and enjoy dancing and listening to music. If there's any questions, or I missed something crucial, shoot!

*frantically hands out cookies* :squirrelcookie: I´m glad you found your way here despite... everything.
Anyways, like Jitter pointed out, we´ve had a very interesting discussion on cookies and Minnion-inside-jokes in general just recently, starting here (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=6.msg178481#msg178481) in case you´re interested. ^-^ :squirrelcookie:

Yaaay! I second this :D This forum is a pretty neat place most of the time
Maybe it's unfortunate that this was how you got introduced to the forum, but it's fortunate that you're all around now. Also, Vulpes, that particular phrasing reminded me of that volcano eruption that one person keeps linking to.
Post by: Tindveden on March 24, 2021, 09:02:39 AM
I think I wrote one or two posts on this Board in 2017. Without introducing myself O_O.
I promised myself that I would not write anything again until I wrote an introduction here. It's been on my ToDo list since 2017. In the meantime I've written more than 1000 posts on sssscomic.com. So, obviously, the problem is not related to writing and posting per se.
It's just that I want the avatar and nick to be the same on both SSSS platforms, and I especially want the luxury of being anonymous, and not having to censor my posts for anything, except for giveaways. On all other platforms where I appear I use my full name and picture, and I have to take into account that I will meet a number of other posters/users in real life - and that means a lot less freedom to say what I really think and feel at the moment.
Tindveden is the name of a place on a fjord in Norway, named for the tindved bushes with yellow berries that grow there (aka havtorn, seaberry, sea buckthorn, Hippophae rhamnoides). The berries make a nice jam, but I chose the name because I liked to walk the route along the sea, all by myself.
- Well, I didn't get to keep that walk all to myself, lots of people there nowadays, haha - ;D

My name is Oda and I live in western Norway. I'm introverted but not shy, often taken for an extrovert. I use they/them pronouns (agender).
I spend most of my time indoors because of annoying chronical illness stuff. When I have the spoons, I like to go for walks with friends, play Pokemon Go, read, cook, and bury myself in The Internets. Some creative stuff - photos, make up new dishes, writing... Haven't had it in me to work at languages for many years, so it's just Norwegian and English (and I understand and read Swedish and most Danish). Dreaming of learning Italian and Icelandic, one day.
Not sure why I left this forum to begin with, I think I just forgot? But it feels nice to be here again. <3

Welcome to you all, I'm not even going to try to list everyone, plus then I'd be ignoring the people who have been trickling in over the months who I haven't welcomed because I don't visit this thread often.
Seconded.
I don't usually know what to say other than 'hi there', and there always seem to be other people doing that, so while I do look at the thread occasionally I don't often post in it. And when I do think I might post something I think 'but I didn't welcome the last twenty people, will it look funny that I said something to this one?' so I don't usually post then either.
But welcome, everybody, anyway!
Post by: Maple on March 24, 2021, 06:24:29 PM
Hi there! I'm Maple, and I hope I didn't snag this username from anyone else because I was so surprised to see it not taken when I registered. I've been reading SSSS for about three years now, but I didn't really take the plunge into the message board or the comments section until recently. (You can probably guess why, but I'll keep that part short since I would rather be positive here.)
I'm from Michigan in the US, and most of my days are spent working (I'm a teacher assistant at an elementary school, working towards my master's degree so I can have my own classroom someday), reading books and webcomics, and playing Dungeons & Dragons. I also like to write and sometimes post fanfiction to Ao3 (nothing SSSS yet, though I have Plans), though that is sporadic because I prefer to finish a work and post it all at once rather than do weekly updates.
Thanks for being such a welcoming community!

I’ve been meaning to introduce myself for some time; I have had a busy schedule and felt I could put that off for a bit longer. However after the recent events of the past few days I figured it was about time to do the polite thing and say hello.
I am LetsEatBees (Bees, or Beezy for short) I live in Alberta, Canada , I take a business administration course (Diploma), and English is my native language and currently the only language I speak. I have followed Stand Still Stay Silent since about September 2017, What stuck out to me was just how welcoming and active the fanbase was despite the relative obscurity of SSSS, the dedication of the fans here is a treat and has made my limited experience with the fandom one-of-a-kind.
I might not be all that active; the one creative endeavor I have been trying is writing. I have some SSSS fic ideas, as well as an original fiction I have been trying to get myself to make progress on, but I am a bit quiet otherwise.
Whatever the case may be; I hope that I can be a pleasant presence for the people around me.

Hi there! I'm Maple, and I hope I didn't snag this username from anyone else because I was so surprised to see it not taken when I registered.Since I've seen this concern mentioned twice today, I've run an actual test to confirm my understanding. The registration form does block people from using a username that is already registered.
(As opposed to Disqus, where you can get your actual ID from them or a number of 3rd party ID systems, which means that the uniqueness of any IDs is limited to that provider in the first place, and then you get to choose whatever screen name you like, including the possibility to duplicate someone else's. Which is one (of several) important reason why I'm still posting as a guest, instead of using an account: I have been impersonated in the comments, but switching to an account doesn't provide a iota more protection against that happening.)
(... aaaand welcome to all the newcomers, of course. Sorry, I'm not the type to whack y'all with the Welcome Bell individually. :lalli: )

So.. introductions, I'm Tzelly, I live on the American west cost and was a long time silent fan of Minna since around 2013, her art inspired me to continue my dream as an artist and story teller. Not that I have much to show for it but I am still striving!

Not sure if I'll make many appearances in this forum, but I feel like I know you guys well enough from the comments and the Lovely People thread that I should say hi! I'm from Maine, way up in the northeastern corner of the US. I think I found Minna through the language tree poster she made back in 2014-ish? She inspired me to start learning Scandinavian languages (I was, and am, lazy, and love the idea that knowing one of them means you more or less know three of them) and her art streams kept me constant company while writing and re-writing (and re-re-writing) code for my thesis last year. I have an MSc in physics and am currently an instructor at a couple of different state universities. Also I like webcomics. Hello everybody!

Welcome to the forum, Engelszorn and SkyWhalePod! Now I'm starting to wonder, am I putting myself at a disadvantage by deliberately avoiding the bunny thread?
I think that's entirely up to you. I went there because I wanted to see if other people could articulate the things I was feeling after having read it -- there was definitely that, and then a lot of other interesting stories and comments on top of that. For what it's worth, it's fairly civil! I'm of the opinion that this is a really valuable moment for everybody on both sides to hear stories they might not normally be exposed to. An exercise in empathy. Really useful skill to practice right now.
But if you don't want to fall down that rabbit hole (no pun intended) then that's totally understandable. :)

Thank you! And I definitely will! If I can figure out how to post pictures on here haha
It's got a few more steps to post images here than most places, but it is doable. You have to upload the image to a hosting side - I think a fair few people use postimage, I personally have used imgur, but there's several you can use. Once you upload the image, open the image itself in a new tab and use that link (the web address to the image file itself - make sure it ends with something like .jpeg or .png) to post the image onto here.
You put the url for the image between [img) and [/img) (use square brackets on both sides, I've just used round ones so you can see them) and that should upload the image here.

i usually go by goose online! i know my user on here doesn't match though, so feel free to use that as well. they/them pronouns (i often have other preferences, but they/them is always fine). i found ssss maybe four or five months ago and binge read the whole thing before abruptly losing interest and forgetting about it, as i tend to do. recently, though, it's completely invaded my brain and i think about it constantly, which led to me joining this place!
i'm an artist and i write sometimes, though nothing ssss so far except for a few offhand doodles. my other interests include genshin impact and the legend of zelda, and i play the trumpet.
sadly, i'm only fluent in english, but i'm currently learning mandarin in school and trying to self-study danish, as well as having small amounts of experience in several other languages.
that's everything i can think of to say, so hopefully my lurking period is brief in this particular corner of the internet! you all seem like great people :D

I'd love to see your doodles if you'd like to share! I also like the Legend of Zelda, a couple of my friends like genshin and I've doodled for them sometimes too. And I'm sure you've noticed the language board, a handy place for all your language-learning needs.

these days I'm doing a lot of art and writing and currently programming a video game! I picked up programming in the past year and it's been great fun. I'll also be heading out to university soon to study biology, which I'm super excited for!
I hope all the familiar faces around here are doing well, and to the rest, it's nice to meet you! I'm not sure how much I'll be around but at least wanted to say hi! ^-^

Who knows, maybe you’ll find something to do here again, check out the new Forum structure. We are hoping to diversify from just SSSS related stuff. Just now on the 1st August (15 minutes to midnight here in Finland) we start the new Comic of the Month!

Keep Looking, moredhel: Hello! Nice to meet you as well, I hope to see you around!
Jitter: I was poking around a bit earlier to learn about the Forum restructuring! Interesting situation with the bunny comic Minna recently put out. Seems like it might be a positive change for the community to move away from purely SSSS. (Or, I suppose, to move further from it, since it was never the only thing that kept people around, however wonderful it is). I know in the past my favourite things about this place were always the non-SSSS threads and just getting to know and spend time with fellow forumites. Here's to the future!

By the way you are extremely welcome to open thread(s) about subjects of interest. The Art Museum threads have been collecting all art, but that was before we had an Art board. Now we can very well have separate threads for e.g. fine art or paleoart. I’m sure many forumites would be interested in paleoart, I know I would!

My fandom name (across many fandoms and for many years, now) is tehta. Outside of fandom, I am a Polish woman working in Machine Learning, and living in Switzerland. (So, English is not my native language, but it is one of the languages I am most comfortable with. Unlike, e.g. Swiss German, oof.)
I discovered ssss in early July and quickly fell in deep. (So deep, in fact, that I was inspired to write for the first time in ages; I'll definitely be active on the writing thread.) I am sad that I missed the golden age of the fandom, but I am still enjoying the story (especially when the focus is not on bears), and looking forward to next week's chapter.

When you take a closer look at the Forum, you’ll notice we have recently restructured in the hopes of diversifying and keep the community alive, even when SSSS ends. You have noticed the creative boards, I would also like to point you towards the Worlds and Stories board. We invite and hope to generate discussion on other fandoms, works, authors and worlds in addition to our beloved SSSS. You mentioned you have been in several fandoms over the years - it would be great to hear from some of them!

(I also have it in Portuguese, but I suppose it won't be a problem)
So, when do we start?
Post by: tehta on August 22, 2021, 11:39:39 PM
Welcome tehta! :) Looking forward to see your writings! Machine learning, humm? Are we going to have some AI related stories?
And I also think a Tolkien thread would be nice!
You know what we totally can have? AI-generated stories. I have been playing around with using big language models for this (like GPT-3) and it would be very interesting to try it for fanfic. (The way it works is that you type in some text, and then ask the AI to generate more text based on this. You can also alternate. It tends to make very dreamlike stories with poor logic, but can be surprisingly amusing.) I will try to generate one and post it in a writing forum of some sort, so people can see what I mean.
I could also participate in a Silm reading (I have read it, of course, and know some parts very well because they were necessary background for my writing).
Post by: RanVor on August 23, 2021, 09:48:48 AM
So, when do we start?And I've just started rereading the Gentleman Bastards series yesterday... September 1st, maybe? Seems like a good date to start things.

Post by: catbirds on August 24, 2021, 12:38:00 AM
Also, hmmm, AI-generated stories! It's definitely been popular for fandoms based around books and scripts, but I wonder what it'll do with what text we have in SSSS, considering the amount of visual storytelling. I've definitely seen that sort of thing for LOTR, though, but I haven't gotten into that series myself (I should).
Post by: tehta on August 24, 2021, 03:46:58 AM
- My SSSS stories are on AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/users/tehta/works?fandom_id=3697829 (https://archiveofourown.org/users/tehta/works?fandom_id=3697829)
- I tried the AI generator yesterday. It's quite obviously using SSSS fanfiction as a base (it's trained on the internet) so that's interesting, but then it leapt straight into cousin incest so I stopped it.

Moredhel has already answered well! Fanfiction and other fanworks are an invaluable element of this forum, and fanfiction has its own board, the Writing Board Moredhel already linked to.
We don’t approve of rude behavior here, so rest assured you will not get shouted at. If you did happen to get a rude comment, one of us moderators would soon be round to set things right, but seriously we don’t need to do that even every year! This is the friendliest corner of the internet I have ever prowled, and I’ve been around various iterations for almost 30 years by now. And it’s not even due to strict enforcement, we just have a great community here.
So, feel free to participate in any discussions, and we are looking forward to seeing your story!

I am a Brit, living in Sweden, and I cannot remember where I first found this comic several years ago but have been a fan ever since.
I started lurking on this forum ever since the Bunnies Comic incident as it seemed such a weird thing to come out of nowhere, and needed to see if it was only me having a weird reaction to it. Decided to finally sign up today as it seems the comic is coming to an end, and it is always nice to have more people to talk other webcomics and things with.

Hi there, I am new. I have been following SSSS for quite a while. I am saddened that it is ending, I have found the fan fiction. YAY!! (So there are all kinds of fun stories there. )
I started reading some of the stories on A03 and FanFic and WOW!!
I can still get my SSSS fix even when the comic fades

Yes; and you can still get this forum, which is going to keep going, both for continued SSSS discussions and expanding to other works.
Welcome! [ETA: and welcome, also, to all the other people I haven't posted welcome to before.]

I've been a follower of SSSS since June 2019. I do a lot of handcrafts, like knitting and sewing. I'm trying to make a webcomic but am too scared to get past the outlining process. I'm currently hyperfixating on the 1991 musical adaptation of The Secret Garden. I like spinach (sautéed with garlic and olive oil).
That's about it.

I'm 30-something and have three kids. I've been reading webcomics since 2004 and in 2008 I got into Icelandic and Heathenry for awhile. Ive also studied german, latin, and the American standard french/Spanish classes (aka terrible) and a really really little bit of Mandarin & Japanese.
I have auditory processing issues that make learning languages hard, and I've never achieved fluency although I've reached the point of being able to read conversations and such.
I'm not sure how it took me so long to find SSSS but I only did within the last year, and only just found out about this forum.

Nope, saw a reference to it in the comments so googled it and fortunately it came up.
Honestly I was looking for translations of Finnish spells - which mostly happened in adv 1 - so it was kind of lucky that I found it. Also found out about the fanfic on AO3.

I made this account way back in 2017, probably around the time in the first story where Emil and Lalli were on that sheet of ice, right during the 2 week break. I think I did post a little here, but forgot and vanished to time. Guess time got tired of me since now I'm back like 5 years later, so hope it's okay if I re-introduce myself.
'Names Daywalker, but you might know me ages ago by Amnesia! I just finished re-binge reading SSSS after quite a few years, but I used to keep up with its updates what feels like eons ago. I love the comic and wanted to talk about it, hence *motions to this forum*! I guess my side interests would be reptile keeping, neurology + psychology, and I hope to be a free-lance artist some day! I also only speak English :sobs:
Well hopefully see you around!

If you want to talk about SSSS, you're in the right place. :) Don't be afraid to comment on old threads if you feel like it, I have seen discussions resparked that why. Or to start new threads. There are also threads for things outside of SSSS as well.

If I have the money for it, I might buy the physical editions one day, which would be cool, because physical books rock, but also a little sad, because they won't have the comments.
I don't think I'll be online much after this, forums aren't really my kind of thing. I just wanted to phrase my appreciation to all the people of the original commentariat. You are all amazing.

Hello all, SSSS was recommended to me by a friend and I subsequently read it over the course of 15 days. It's been a joy, not just because it's a good comic, but also because of the incredible comments. Once I found out you can sort by "best", my enjoyment doubled. I kept scrolling up and down between the page and the comment section to look for details I missed. The poetry and filks were often inspired and touching. The theories were fun because I could read them, then instantly find out how far off the mark they were (which was often, despite what usually felt like solid reasoning).Hello, @Bippity Boppity Boop ! And welcome to the Forum! :)

Well, at least you took 15 days! You would be amazed by how many people showed up here, or in the comic comments, telling they did it in just one or two days... O_o
(sleep? what's that?)
Of course the first thing they usually heard after being welcomed was a suggestion to read it again and take enough time to read the comments. We all learned so much from them. About the comic, the places and so much more. ^-^
I hope you show up more around here. Take some time to read a few threads that you find interesting and soon you will see that all the spirit, humor, knowledge and fun from those comments still exists here. There's talking about SSSS and so much more. And the best part is that you can be part of it!
I'd strongly recommend the Creative Corner. You will find many amazing SSSS stories and art, and also works dealing with other fandoms and originals.
And please don't be afraid to participate on any topic you feel attracted to. We have a long tradition of being a friendly place. ;)

Hi, I'm Glass, I'm a grumpy internet scotsman with a very delayed interest in this place and the wonderful people in it. I've had a fair few welcomes already, all pleasant, and found myself reinvigorated with an interest in the Silent World; at least from my own perspective.
I'm a huge lover of writing (horror, sci-fi, and fantasy), TTRPGs (the PFP's a character I currently play), and voraciously learning around random things that might not matter to anyone but me.

Post by: Jitter on July 11, 2023, 08:05:58 AM
So, horror elements of level similar to SSSS are allowed on the main forum at least as links. Anything the reader sees in the comic is ok here, and we have quite a few pieces with chilling, or in some cases, humorous body horror. Just put a content description first. If you are unsure, you can ask me or other staff to give it a look first.
On the horror side of things, mostly visual art with excessive gore have been put on the mature board, and even then there are only a few. It’s more about sexual content, partly due to fears about the site getting into trouble by introducing such content to minors. Somewhat weirdly anything sexy is apparently a lot more damaging to children and teens than violence, so… We don’t make the rules, except here within the forum :)
There is an introduction message on top of the Writing Board (and all of the creative cormer boards) describing content restrictions in more detail.
Post by: Glass on July 11, 2023, 10:28:21 AM
Welcome again, Glass! Great to have another Scandinavian* (well, nearly) member :) I think you may have received this when you signed up, but in case you didn’t here are some pointers for exploring our little village: https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=1297.0
Also, I didn’t yet mention that I love your profile picture! Is it your own art?
* Scotland has raised the idea that they leave the UK and become a Nordic country. You would be welcome!
It's nice to see another Northern European (most of my communities are very North American or other people from Britain) - and don't worry, I'm very much of the 'lets leave the UK and go be friends with our northern buddies' mindset myself. I don't actually think I recieved anything like that link, is it a new member message or something like that? I'll definitely take a look though.
As for the art, it's a piece I commissioned of my character Matthais - the artist is @virlandil over on Twitter, excellent creator. I...only had to stalk their twitter for a few months to get a slot for it <.<
With the writing restrictions, I should be more than within them then - as you say, at least as links; matching the comic's horror level is easy enough, exceeding it would be an exercise in (boring) sadism for sadism's sake. Just need to wait for AO3 to recover from whatever DDOS they've been dealing with. The whole 'violence is worse than sex' thing is pretty frustrating to watch come up - I totally understand the caution from the staff. I've administrated a community or two and it's always been a major sticking point for me to ensure the safety of minors, and compliance with platform rules.

Thanks for the welcome Moredhel - is that a Raymond E. Feist reference for the username?
I read some Feist because people asked me exactly this. I did take it from Tolkien as I suspect Feist did too.

Aye, no doubt he did - I tend to go with the Feist assumption purely because I've met fewer people using Sindarin than who've read his books.

i just finished rereading SSSS (again) and felt really down about... you know... all of the stuff with minna and her new projects. this comic means a lot to me; i found it by surprise while lonely and without friends to talk to (we were going through a really rough patch. it's fine now) and the story just clicked with me. it was there for me when i needed something to hold onto. it's very near and dear to my heart, and it's deeply upsetting to know that minna doesn't seem to see the value in something that touched so many people's lives. it honestly broke my heart, especially while reading SSSS again.
sorry to be so negative. what i'm really here to say is that, after scrolling through the comments on the final page and feeling really down, i noticed how many people were inviting other readers to the forums. i knew the forums existed, but i didn't want to join... it's scary to put yourself out there lol. but i think after reading SSSS again, a year after it ended, i changed my mind. i want to talk about this comic with other people. i want to reach out!
i know the forums are still active, at least a little. so here i am...! sorry for writing such a long damn post lol i doubt others have written nearly as much as i have. i tend to get really wordy when it's not necessary. but anyway... hi? and nice to meet all of you :')

I know for me at least and probably for quite a few others here, SSSS was in our lives through some really difficult times and meant a lot to us. While the forums aren't as active as they were at SSSS's peak, we've still got plenty of community on here and people to talk to :)
If you find yourself struggling with forum navigation or posting different things feel free to reach out to me or ask on the forum and we can help you get a hold of it.

Does ae/aer imply a particular gender (or lack-of-gender) version, or is it a gender-neutral?i think neopronouns like this can refer to any sort of gender. for me personally, it speaks to how i sort of exist outside of the gender binary (or something… trying to describe my gender is like playing 4D chess lol) but anyone can use it if they want :)

We’d love to see your art! In the audiovisual alrt board there is the thread Forum Art Museum, which is meant for art not related to the SSSS universe and/or characters (AUs abound there as you may have already seen), as well as of course the SSSS Art Museum. In the academy board there are discussions about making art, someone might be interested in discussing about backgrounds there. And of course whether you want to post your own work or not, these and all other boards are open for discussion! Great to have you here!

There isn't very much to say about myself. I am a young "adult" from the US who enjoyed Minna Sundberg's work and wanted to discuss it here.
I don't expect to be incredibly active in the forum, as I have little to contribute (besides some pedantic commentary when it suits me).
Thank you for having me anyways.

I have never been on a forum before so all this is very new to me. But my interest on SSSS started in 2020 with the pandemic and presently the interest has returned as a brain worm with a vengeance! So I thought I’d join here and see what happens. I hope to have a good time.
I’m a very shy creature, but I like drawing, writing stories, and making characters. I’m mostly known for my wolf AU’s because that’s my artistic subject of expertise, but I’m trying to branch out.
I have a collection of general fanart on my tumblr and an instagram under the same name.

Some of you might have seen me from AO3, Buteo kindly told me about the forum.
So Here I am, mourning I only got to find SSSS after it was over.
Dunno what we are supposed to say here, so :
French Tourist, I love to go places, usually twice a year. (I do have a job too though, a boring job. Pays the bill)
Left my twenties quite some time ago, still flailing in life like a unsteady colt (or fillie?).
Adequate in English, I'm no Hemingway. Not that have ever read Hemingway.
I also know two handful words in Finnish and Japanese, clearly not enough to string a full sentence together. Just enough to know if the song is a love song and ask about the nearest food place. Kinda.
I like to take pictures, read (a lot), write (when on a streak), draw (poorly, in between two writing streaks). And good food (I'm French...)
What I don't like doesn't matter. (bad drivers!)

I believe he's the wolf's tribe chief, who married a daughter of the sun-tribe, or something. I don't know their English names though (and barely remember their french ones). I left it with those two having two young kids.
I starting learning to draw with him as model. I used tracing paper to copy my models at first, I'm pretty sure I still have them somewhere.

Your method of learning to draw (tracing over existing art works) sounds like mine. Those early efforts are now long gone...
Another EQ reader here, also, from many years ago. My housemates at one time had a large collection of EQ books, and I read them all; haven't seen any of them since moving from there, mumblesomething decades ago.
