Key posts by Minna through the comments and on twitch

[Piney]

Those links don't actually seem to link to any comments. Can you guys please just copy-paste her comments here?

Yeah, that's because the links don't specify the page number due to them being posted the day the page was up. Putting in the page number gets the link to work.

Minna has assured us the new troll is not going to go Alien on us

Facehugger?

Pretty much I guess, except it doesn't want to hug faces or incubate inside people.

also, the incubation periode is much slower, up to two whole weeks!

I mentioned that Google translates "Kade" to "jealous", and Minna responded:

minnasundberg Mod • 5 minutes ago
"Kade" is a colloquial form of the world "kateellinen", which indeed does mean envious. And the word for envy itself, "kateus", is also what the sinister power of the Kade mages is called, so the word has kinda gone full circle there.

Minna confirms every Finn has a luonto:

Martti Kakkiainen ➦ minnasundberg • Link
Does every finn have one [a luonto]? Like even Tuuri?

minnasundberg [Mod] ➦ Martti Kakkiainen • Link
Yup.

People with feline luontos are not privileged:

TinfoilMatt ➦ minnasundberg • Link
So here's a question; with cats being sacred, do mages that have a feline Luonto hold some sort of higher standing?

minnasundberg [Mod] ➦ TinfoilMatt • Link
Naw.

Minna confirms that Lalli's luonto is not with him right now:

Auleliel • Link
Oh wow, this is so interesting! Did Lalli's luonto leave him, or is he just really tired?

minnasundberg [Mod] ➦ Auleliel • Link
It left. So he's super duper not up for anything right now!

Aaand:

Scout • Link
Minna! What animal is your luonto?

minnasundberg [Mod] ➦ Scout • Link
A squirrel maybe.

Well, that pretty much explains the
Squirrel cookies ,
as observed by many replies to that statement.

this one probably deserves a spot here too

Icelandic spirits are known to show themselves to people now and then, encountering some isn't a telltale sign of being an Icelandic mage.
But Reynir being a mage might let him see spirits that aren't deliberately trying to show themselves to you. And how many he can see and what he can do to interact with them is still different from what Lalli can do. But of course we won't know a whole lot more about that before we get further into the story.

Minna made an art guys!!!

[Mélusine]

I saw it earlier and it made me smile

[Unerringly Errant]

Because I have obsession issues with this comic, and because I am desperately trying to figure out WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN BETWEEN THE SPIRIT AND THE TROLL, I have just spent some time combing through the comments to try to see what Minna God has said about the nature of our wounded little friend. Also, this is pretty much the first forum I've ever joined so let me know if I'm missing something useful about formatting or anything.

...also I just discovered, rather belatedly, that I can just click on Minna's name to see every post she's made. Well. That would have been helpful knowledge earlier. >_<

Flying squirrels look ridiculous to you?! How dare you, they are majestic predatory monsters. :<
It used to be human, it just kinda looks like a flying squirrel. Squirrels don't grow that big.

This conversation recently happened on Twitter:

alright ‏@prkzl:
@SSSScomic Hey Minna just wondering, will there ever be clearly-stated romance in SSSS? Or will that not be focused on at all?

Minna:@prkzl I don't know to be honest. It's such a long comic and lots might or might not happen, we'll have to see where the characters take us.

[Juniper]

This conversation recently happened on Twitter:

Hmm, well this is a slightly different response from her "it would be indistinguishable from a special friendship and you would never know" response. I'd still totally enjoy the comic if there never was any confirmed romance, I mean the lack of romance is part of the reason I enjoy the comic in the first place, and I totally don't want to get my little shipping heart's hopes up but oh my gosh that's exactly what's happening right now.

Although, I think the fandom's reaction to a canon confirmed romance happening (if it happened) especially depending on who it was between might be the best part, I can't even imagine how much the comments and forum would be blowing up x3

But who knows, it's like she said we have a very long story ahead of us and a lot could happen or not happen I suppose we'll see ~

You guys, YOU GUYS!!!

Minna: We certainly will.

I'm just gonna put this here
Anonymous asked: will you ever draw anything ARTD related art again, maybe more small comics (I'd pay for them!)

Minna: I’ll probably draw something for upcoming anniversaries (like 5-years-since-aRTD-things). Dunno about more mini comics (possible, but not something I’ve really been thinking of), but certainly some general art.
So~ cool! 
And also there's this awesome Lalli portrait
