StormingTexan he/him Posted December 14, 2022 Posted December 14, 2022 All fun and games unless you are the party favor for Koloss head munching day. 3
Throw TheLiving Silverware he/him/il/lui Posted December 15, 2022 Posted December 15, 2022 There's a WoB somewhere where someone asks Brandon what holidays are there in Mistborn, and he answers "Koloss Head-Munching Day" as a joke. It became a fandom joke. I have no idea how did it become Brandon's birthday, but that's where the name comes from. 5
ftl Posted December 15, 2022 Posted December 15, 2022 Wob about it here! Quote Questioner Is Koloss Head-Munching Day like Weasel Stomping Day? Brandon Sanderson Someone asked me way before I was famous, back when it was five or six people who read my books, like "Are there any holidays?" and I'm like "Yeah, Koloss Head-Munching Day!" And then the fans took it and ran with it. At the next signing, they said "What is it?" and I'm like "Uh, my birthday" and then it just became a thing. Questioner 2 What is it? What does it mean? Brandon Sanderson It means it's the day that the koloss go have some heads to eat. Questioner 2 What I want to know is how the koloss can make a decision on their own? To munch heads? Somebody has to tell them, right? Brandon Sanderson The thing about koloss is that they try to imitate and recapture being human. So they wear coin pouches and things like that, so they get it wrong. They know that holidays exist. It's partially just a joke. Footnote: Koloss Head-Munching Day/Brandon's birthday is December 19th. Weasel Stomping Day is a Weird Al song. Orem signing (Dec. 21, 2017) 3
Ladrian Posted December 19, 2022 Posted December 19, 2022 Lol, I mark this day on my calendar I love the State of Sanderson and mildly saddened we have to wait a couple more days 1
