4[=StrangeChat=] is a chatroom for “passionate individuals who dedicate their lives to the investigation and discussion of the paranormal in pursuit of the TRUTH.” It has four active users. And it’s just about time to start planning [=StrangeChat=]’s First Ever Real Life Meet Up! The dedicated regulars of [=StrangeChat=] have only one year before this event… and only one year to sort out their own emotional and supernatural baggage.

8!!''I'm Strange (And So Are You)'' provides examples of:
9* AfraidOfBlood: On the cast page, Rochelle has "the sight of blood" listed under her dislikes.
10* AllThereInTheManual: More information about the characters is available on [[http://menderash.tumblr.com/tagged/isasay Moe's Tumblr]]
11* BigBrotherInstinct: Patrick has three younger sisters. According to {{Word Of God}}, this trope is one of his primary character motivations.
12* CastFullOfGay: Of the four main characters, not one of them is straight. (Patrick and Rochelle are both gay, and Sydney and Leo are bi and pan, respectively. Rochelle is also trans.)
13* CharacterBlog: Leander keeps an in-character [[http://hellespontwaters.tumblr.com/ tumblr blog]] where he mostly reblogs pictures of the ocean and answers the occasional question.
14* ColorCodedCharacters: Each of the four main characters has a main colour theme: Sydney is pink, Leander is blue, Patrick is green, and Rochelle is purple.
15* ConspiracyTheorist: Sydney has a "psychic bigfoot" theory, and is only 30% sure that the moon is actually real.
16* CrushBlush: Patrick is prone to this [[spoiler: around Leo]].
17* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Leander has both blue eyes and blue locs.
18* GentleGiant: Patrick is the tallest of the group at 6'6", but he's also incredibly gentle and sweet.
19* GilliganCut: Patrick says "She's not gonna just get lost!" Cut to Sydney saying "[[http://isasay.com/comic/page-95/ I'M LOST!]]"
20* HypocriticalHumor: Sydney elbows Goggles out of the way because she's frustrated that they're wasting time asking PJ about strange and unusual happenings in the area... and then immediately proceeds to ask PJ about strange and unusual happenings in the area.
21* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Patrick and Sydney have a nearly two foot height difference, so she only comes up to about the middle of his chest.
22* LampshadedDoubleEntendre: When Rochelle calls Patrick.
23-->'''Rochelle:''' [[NoTimeToExplain No time!]] Emergency threeway!
24-->'''Patrick:''' Stop. Stop calling group calls that.
25* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Leander. Just... [[http://menderash.tumblr.com/post/148221100524/on-my-birthday-i-was-like-im-gonna-draw Leander]].
26* MeaningfulName: Sydney Strange is VERY enthusiastic about anything and everything that even hints at being paranormal or supernatural.
27* TheMothman: Sydney sees something that looks very much like Mothman.
28* ShortTeensTallAdults: Rochelle is 19 and 5'9" (taller than 21-year-old Leander), while Sydney is 17 and 4'7". Sydney's case is justified, as she has been stated [[WordOfGod by the author]] to have some type of dwarfism.
29* ShoutOut:

32** Rochelle wears a Music/LemonDemon shirt, and has a Music/ThreeCheersForSweetRevenge poster.
33* {{Sleepyhead}}: Leander "can and will fall asleep anywhere vaguely comfortable", including on Patrick.
34* ThreePointLanding: Sydney [[http://isasay.com/comic/page-67/ does this]] when jumping out of bed.
35* WithUsOrAgainstUs: Sydney says pretty much exactly this when she's mad with Bobby for not believing her.
