You Know You're an SSSS Addict When...

....when you have a dream where you receive Book 3 of SSSS, ahead of completion on the web, and it confirms Emil/Lalli...

Most best dream ever.

[OwlsG0]

When you now have a near-obsessive knowledge of Finnish and Norwegian mythology because you've been researching it to write more convincing SSSS fics

[PickleChip]

When you attempted and failed to learn every Nordic language at once and decided to do one at a time.

When you attempted and failed to learn every Nordic language at once and decided to do one at a time.

Yep. I've got a 50/50 Norwegian/Finnish learning split going on atm. Finnish is way behind though.

When you plan an eventual Scandinavia trip solely around going to all the places in the comic. And to all the other cool places in all the countries. Rest in peace future bank balance.

[Purple Wyrm]

You hear that they're debating whether to re-introduce lynx into Britain and your first thought is that it would make Lalli happy.

[JoB]

On Wednesday I teach two classes of first-year students. In the morning class there's someone similar to Emil and in the afternoon class there's someone who looks like Lalli. I'm so sad they're separated...

We're holding our breaths for all the novel reasons for detention that you're going to come up with ...

[Lazy8]

You see a guy with a Norwegian flag patch on his jacket and automatically get excited.

Also, you've started making "Mrr" noises at random and don't even try to stop yourself.

[Lazy8]

You're watching Fellowship of the Ring and get to the battle with the Watcher, and have a moment of confusion as to which tentacle monster came first.

Fun fact: the 'Emil' student is called Rijk, which is Dutch for 'rich'. I'm not kidding.

[OwlsG0]

You feel a little less ashamed of your inner-ear for being so susceptible to car sickness (to the point where looking at a car is enough to make you nauseous) because Lalli has motion sickness too

You notice every tiny thing that could possibly be related to ssss:

For instance, my piano teacher today was wearing a six-pointed star necklace that looked a lot like the ssss logo. She is Finnish. I was very suspicious, and thinking through the whole class "maybe she reads SSSS! I should ask! no, that would be awkward. But maybe!"

Weeeeeeeeell, you could start with something along the lines of "Hey, is that a variation of the selburose?" Couldn't hurt.

When you read a good AU fic for a different fandom and ask yourself "hey, how cool would a SSSS version of this be?! "—and then spend way too much time and effort trying to make it even though the last time you wrote any kind of coherent narrative was years ago.

Oooh, now I'm curious, what kind of AU?

Also: You know you're an SSSS addict when you spend way too much of your morning helping an obnoxious customer, but the whole time you can't stop thinking that her sweater looks like it could belong to someone in SSSS. (It was light blue, dark blue, and white, in a kind of zig-zag pattern that reminded me of Reynir's sweater.)
