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!

Welcome, Puls3! Here have some squirrel cookies! :squirrelcookie: :squirrelcookie: :squirrelcookie: :squirrelcookie: :squirrelcookie: I'm also one of the aforementioned IB grads, and I wish you luck! And wow, you've been following the comic for a while now! If you'd like, you can add chapter break survivor ribbons to your signature (the code is :chap#:, replacing # with whatever number you wish). Like Vi (er, Feartheviolas, rather) said, we've got a number of cool threads you should check out. So take a look around and see what you like!

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

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.

Hi! Welcome! Have some cookies.

To what extent is the TOK presentation terrible? Compare and contrast with the Extended Essay. ;)

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  :)

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)

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!)

Oh jeez, ethics. Eek. Mine was about whether humans are the only ones who can make art, so we got to squishy-science our way to victory bad public speaking skills. ::) Good luck on your essay!

Hi, Nietos!  I see from your avatar that you're a fan of Kate Beaton and "Hark! A Vagrant!" so I like you already.   :D  We have a NaNoWriMo thread and a writing critique group, as well as knitting/crochet threads (including one for our crews' adventures as amigurumis), speaking Italian, and... well, practically all your interests.

Hello. I am a teenager from California (Bay Area). I really like this comic, it is very well drawn. :)   I am also starting to learn Swedish. I want to get pretty good by March so I can surprise my father on his birthday (he is semi-fluent in Swedish but does not want to help me).
