Stormblessed Dolphin Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 When you're at chic-fil-a and a plastic wrapper is sticking to stuff, like your hand (static electricity, or so they say) and you're just like "I know you're there you tricky little spren, even though I can't see you, I know you're there" 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's amazing. Sometimes, when I'm listening to music and need something else to occupy my mind, I will imagine characters (more often than not Sanderson characters) singing or dancing to the songs. Current favorites include Bridge Four singing to the Cheetah Girls with a synchronized dance number, the Mistborn crew enthusiastically dancing the Cotton-Eyed Joe dance, and Odium singing Be Prepared, complete with a backup girl chorus. It's hilarious. Edited December 7, 2017 by Brightness Enna 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hilarious. I do this all the time. One time we were in the car driving to our band competition and my friends had Disney songs on Pandora. The whole time I was imagining cosmere characters singing and dancing to the songs. Kaladin, as it turns out, can sing a very delightful "I'll make a man out of you". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmernaut Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 When you start applying Cosmere logic to other shows even if they only fit in loosely. I glanced over the Bleach anime and thought, “The swords are sentient because they’re highly invested objects. The only difference is that the ‘spren’ here came from the people using them.” Same thing happened when I was watching Supernatural and they found an artifact called a ‘Hand of God’ which is an object imbued with God’s power. I thought, “Aah, I see. A splinter.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesh Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 When your left hand is in your sleeve for family pictures. When you watch the Polar Express, and when you first see the weird man, you think, "Oh, there's Hoid!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Dopey Spren Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 When you get a splinter, then worry that the voices in your head are actually Ruin influencing you through hemalurgy ... or am I the only person who hears things....? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyManth3 Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 When you used to be very introverted, but when you learned of the shard you have tried quite hard to get others to read Sanderson's books. Actually I've given someone a copy of the first Mistborn, and someone else I've gotten to get Elantris from the library(I don't have my own copy). Yay, I was successful! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borio Singaldi Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 When you finally have enough cosmere books that you can't fit them all on one Sandershelf, so you make the shelf on the other side of your bed into another one. (Don't know why the photos are sideways, but whatevs). I finally have ten cosmere novels and one cosmere story collection. WEEHEE! Though technically, all of them are my dad's, except for Arcanum Unbounded. He doesn't mind too much that I keep them by me. You're also a Sanderfan when you hope to accidentally meet Brandon Sanderson whenever you go to American Fork. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyManth3 Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 I'm currently trying to convert the youth at my church before I go to people anywhere else. (I doubt I would actually talk to people I'm not comfortable with so...) When you have a sister that aspires to become an author, so you continuously tell her about Sanderson because he has some amazing writing and writing tips, but she refuses to read any of his books on her own time, (she has listened to all of the Alcatraz series on audio) and it breaks your heart. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tie her down, gag her so she can't speak, and start reading mistborn out loud. eventually she'll have to listen. If that doesn't work, nothing will.

Storming kids at my school never listen to my book recommendations. I spend my whole lunch time trying to lead people I know to the Sanderson shelf in the library. I eventually drag them there, explain SA and Mistborn, and by the time I'm done explaining all the plots and how amazing they are, the kid leaves the library with a copy of Divergent or something. On the bright side, I've gotten around two people to read Reckoners, one person to read The Rithmatist, and my best friend to read Mistborn (he's now reading The Way of Kings, so I am a happy obsessive child).

Rebecca Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 When you accidentally spell protein like protien. When you think you hear someone say that their teacher keeps pairing them up with thaylens. When you spend all of your free time pondering the mysteries of the Cosmere. When your teacher askes you to write about if you could be friends with anyone, who would it be, and you write a giant paragraph about how Kaladin would be the coolest friend ever. When Christmas is a time to get people to buy books for you. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 When your friend just started reading The Way of Kings and he says, "I wish I had a shard sword and shard armor" and you just glare at him and say, "We do not refer to Shardplate as "shard armor", and we do not refer to Shardblades as "shard swords".

Xaladin Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 (edited) When Wait, this airport's bookstore has Oathbringer? THIS AIRPORT'S BOOKSTORE HAS OATHBRINGER. But my flight boards in 8 minutes. Ten Heartbeats. I don't care. Yeah, that was a while ago, but I am a slow reader, and I did return to earth (from Roshar) on foot. Alas, I have Returned (to the 17th Shard, etc., but not before destroying lots of evil ) Edited December 10, 2017 by Xaladin Removing an OB spoiler 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
