You know you are a GC fan When.....

[atorichan]

There may be another forum out here like this, but don't expect me to go digging through all twelve pages. xD

So, without further ado, I'll start us off.

---You burst into random conversations to say "Helloooo"
---You begin talking to your stuffed animals.
---You ask your science teacher when the class is going to start building some robots; and if he says never; you ask where the spare parts are so you can build your own anyway.
---You wake up in the morning and complain about your climb down the ladder.

[snes]

---You run away from spiderwebs out of fear of seeing Ketrak
---You think twice when somebody talks about how great it'd be to be a bird
---You feel the stare of the thousand eyes, when in reality it's just a clock

[Mesías]

Hahah... Is been ages since I saw one of these.
Let me collaborate with something:

---You use elements of alchemy as names for your children. In any language.

[Chrome]

--You realize you look like one of the characters. I have Annie's hair color, and Kat's hairstyle at the moment.
--You spot a glowing sign in the sky, only to discover that it's some neon light advertisement (Dang, and you thought someone finally found a blinker stone!)
--You get an LED-illuminated stone hanging off your neck like ThinkGeek is advertising for jewelry, and call it a blinker stone
--You wish you could juggle your eyeballs.

This is even worse now thanks to the gaudy christmas lights strung across the street, first I thought I was seeing will o' wisps, now blinker stones in the shapes of snowflakes

[atorichan]

---When you hear a Coyote at night, you run outside to greet him and ask him to juggle his eyes.

[Shunpike]

---» You go to the hairdresser's. When asked what your preferences are, you scream "WHO CARES?! MAKE IT STICK UP!!"

[ding]

You light your hallway to prevent the passage of shadows...

[Arrow]

You become convinced you've grown a second shadow too...and your friend telling you there are simply two lights angled behind you doesn't sway your newfound belief.

[preus]

You know you're a GC fan when you read Gunnerkrigg Court and enjoy doing so. End of discussion.

Yeah, I'm being a buzzkill today. It's my new thing.

killjoy

-- You start weeping uncontrollably whenever you pass a cherry tree and freak out your friends by talking about how much you miss your dead mother. (your mother isn't dead.)

[fishf00d]

-- You instinctively seek out the old sections of libraries, and habitually poke/lean on any statues in there.

[rc5]

-- You lurk the forums. >_>
-- You demand your mythology prof discuss Rogat Orjaks.
-- Wearing a headband with star antenna on Halloween is dressing up like a robot.

[Count Casimir]

--You've given up waiting for answers because when they come, they'll bring more questions.
--The above reason is one of the reasons you LOVE the comic.

[Shunpike]

--» You carry around a white stuffed dog toy and talk to it in public. You try to scare people with it. "He's aliveee!"

[crazysquirrelsiren]

When someone does something you don't like, you tell them that they are being like Boxbot. I did that to my mother.

Mom: Get off the computer, I need to check my Facebook (and spend 4 hours on there doing whatever the heck she does)
Me: D: Moooooooooooom! You're as terrible as Boxbot!
Mom:...........................okaaaaaaaaay, then.

Yeah, I'm weird like that. XD

[phantomsheep]

You hang around in hospitals, waiting eagerly for somebody to die so that you might see a pyschopomp.

[Mezzaphor]

You've looked up (and subsequently bought) music that was referenced in the comic.

You've made GC-themed playlists and listen to them often.

[Rasselas]

Oh! I learned to play Sir Eglamore, having discovered the Katy Rusby song here.

[Vanessa]

When you are at a party and you realise that there are five people in the same room who all read GC and you scream your head off about it because you find this so exciting.

(Also - apparently the gays love GC! I was at an LGBT party at the time.)

I'm tempted to ask if any of them talked about the Annie/Kat debate there.

[penguinfactory]

- You constantly compare features of your college to the Court

[Babble-jargon Bill]

You know your a Gunnerkrigg Court fan when the impossible happens: you look forward to waking up in the morning on weekdays so you can read the latest page.

I second that, do you know how many lectures I've actually gone to purely because I was already up to read GC so figured I might as well?

You mishear hotspot as boxbot and shout TERRRIBLE!

[shadrach]

You know you're a GC fan when everyone around you is a shipper for either you and your best friend, or you and your stuffed animal.

You know you're a GC fan when you find yourself far more patient and optimistic about the book's prospects than the cartoonist is.

[clementine]

I know, old thread, but amazing old thread.

You know you are a GC fan when you demolish an ant colony while gardening and look up immediately for Ketrak.

or when someone asks you to try "that terrible printer," your test page says "HELLOOOOOOOOO."

[duohimura]

Hey, thread necromancy is one of life's most fulfilling accomplishments, what with the real kind so frowned upon by polite society.

On that note...

You know you're a GC fan when you feel the urge to make a "wink-wink, nudge-nudge, say-no-more" comment whenever you see someone reading an ornithological magazine.

Alternatively if your dog is mad at you for painting it red and blue.

Or if you read/watch Wolf's Rain and find yourself thinking that if you recast it with Reynardine, Ysengrin, Coyote, and the Moddey Dhoo it might have actually had a strong main cast.

[Dentrala]

-- You see a magazine with the title "[random celebrity]'s break up with [random celebrity]- 'It's terrible'" in the grocery store and burst out laughing.

[Chrome]

-- You realize you had a near Jones clone for an art teacher in middle school and get creeped out. I swear! She had even the GKC faculty colors in this one suit dress - olive green, black shirt. Same no-nonsense, blunt mannerisms too. Blue eyes, curly blonde hair. But she was very much like Jones. I was creeped out when I realized this.

-- You see a slim little quartz crystal and say it reminds you of Eggers' lightsword.

-- You study all the mythological background via Wikipedia-ing names, and the like, and report back what you found in a thread on the GKC forums. (I've seen several people do this. That's fandom.)

[Per]

You back nervously out of an aisle at the library when you notice it's not empty.

You sort everyone you know into the categories "terrible" and "awesome" depending on whether they're an "arm person" or a "leg person".

You draw a triangle in the air and shout "ZAM" in order to make a dramatic exit, alternatively shout "I AM HERE TO DESTROY YOUUU!" in order to make a dramatic entrance.

Onomatopoeia like "whud", "boosh", "nod", "bwip", and "single bound" is a normal part of your day.
