1* AdmiringTheAbomination: The Fandom. You know what the reaction to NightmareFuel-iffic [[http://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=340 page 340]] was?
2-->'''One comment''': I so want to have this as my wallpaper.\
3'''Another comment''': Seconded.
4* ColbertBump: The comic being mentioned by name in the WebAnimation/OverlySarcasticProductions video about post apocalypses resulted in quite a few new readers.
5* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: While articles talking about the comic itself tend to be accurate, this tends to frequently happen with the breakaway that [[http://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=196 the language tree from page 196]] has become. Reposters frequently fail to either realize or mention that the tree was never intended to cover all world languages and/or the reason only the Indo-European and Uralic language families are shown (it's to show how Nordic languages are related to each other and other existing languages). The lower half, that is only accurate within the comic's universe, gets hit even harder with lack of context than the top one if it's included at all.
6* CreatorBacklash: Minna is more reluctant to talk about both this and ''WebComic/ARedtailsDream'' as they were both written during a period of her life when she was an atheist and budding nihilist, and she'd rather focus on her more Christianity-influenced works.
7* FanCommunityNickname: Minnions, a {{Portmanteau}} of Minna (as in author of webcomic) and... well, minions.
8* GodNeverSaidThat: TheRant after [[spoiler:Tuuri's death]] revealed a case of this. WordOfGod that was either misinterpreted or misremembered caused people to be convinced that the event in question was not going to happen. Minna admitted to have noticed that piece of {{Fanon}} a while ago, but of course couldn't correct it without giving one of the biggest plot twists of the story away.
9* MemeticMutation:
10** The [[http://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=196 Language Tree page]] has taken on a small life of its own, being referenced by many sites outside the comic. Sometimes, it ends up on a [[CowboyBebopAtHisComputer not-particularly well-researched one]].
11** Sigrun's use of the phrase "Most best" has crept into the fandom.
12** There was a trend on fan forums for some time to [[https://40.media.tumblr.com/6b518020bdcf344b957368db56292e8c/tumblr_nma1ohfsQf1r6soqlo1_400.png decorate character's heads with flower crowns]].
13** [[http://orig09.deviantart.net/cf60/f/2015/188/0/7/moarderp_copy_by_monsteara-d90d9h0.jpg Derplalli]] and [[http://41.media.tumblr.com/b81370a3180b49347f027fc9775f1bd0/tumblr_npt7pzQqbg1rkkcd1o1_r3_500.png Derpsigrun]] - Lalli and Sigrun with lolling tongues and funny eyes. Derpsigrun [[http://www.sssscomic.com/journalimages/charas/all.jpg is]] [[http://www.sssscomic.com/journalimages/stuff/sixtett.jpg even]] [[http://www.sssscomic.com/journalimages/charas/8.jpg canon]]!
14** Pyromaniac Emil is probably the most popular and many-formed one. While he has some elements of PyroManiac and MadBomber, those qualities of Emil are {{flanderiz|ation}}ed beyond belief in the fandom.
15* OutdatedByCanon:
16** The family tree was published almost three years into the comic's existence. In the meantime, fanfic writers had come up with their own idea of the exact number of generations there had been between the DistantPrologue and the present timeframe and names for both seen and unseen family members of the main cast. The canon tree tossed many of those out the window.
17** The GodNeverSaidThat situation above resulted in fanfics depicting the time after the first expedition assuming that the entire main cast would survive Adventure I. The actual Adventure I ended with the crew "short a person".
18* ShrugOfGod: Happens a lot, between the fact that the comic is intended to be a long runner and Minna doesn't mind {{Fanon}} taking over for things about which she has yet to make any clear decision.
19* ThrowItIn: Tuuri being a much more minor player in Adventure II resulted in her being the only major character from Adventure I (excluding Kitty) not getting their birthday mentioned in the Adventure II version of the official character profiles. When asked, Minna gave a date, forgetting that she had already picked it to be Reynir's birthday. After it was pointed out, she decided to keep it anyway.
20* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Minna decided to bring the comic to a close in 2022 to work on other projects, leaving behind a significant number of [[LeftHanging unresolved plot threads]].
21* WordOfGod: The author has a tendency to answer reader's questions in the comments at the bottom of the comic such as that Lalli is "pretty much" named after the character from Finnish history.
