Hydrangeas are proof we’re part of the Cosmere…

The evidence is astounding.

Hydrangea bloom and sepal colors are determined by the amount of aluminum ions in the soil.

Bask in the knowledge that you, too, are now obviously a part of the same universe where

aluminum affects stuff in weird ways. I’m looking at you Nalthis…

I don't know if this is a joke or not- if it is, then I apologize in advance (I'm notoriously bad at being able to discern these kinds of situations)- but the Earth is confirmed via WoB to canonically not be part of the Cosmere;

I really wish the Rithmatist books was on a Shardworld where...

Brandon Sanderson

It started as one... I just decided I didn't want to canonize Earth into the cosmere, it was too much.

Questioner

What came first, Pattern or Chalklings?

Brandon Sanderson

Pattern was before Chalklings, good question. For some part of its existence, The Rithmatist was in the cosmere, until I finally decided I just don't want Earth in the cosmere at all, even a bizarre sort of version of Earth.

Questioner

Are you ever gonna make a book that's based on Earth, but in the cosmere?

Brandon Sanderson

No. The Rithmatist started that way, and I pulled it out of the cosmere, because I didn't want Earth in the cosmere. So, that happening tells me pretty surely I'll never do it.

Questioner

Out of curiosity, what Shard would have been on Rithmatist?

Brandon Sanderson

I will RAFO that for now, because it didn't get far enough that I had even really settled. Like, it was when I was designing magic, and doing the worldbuilding. When I started asking questions like this is when I kicked it out. I didn't even write any chapters of it before I kicked it out.

Yeah, he SAYS it's not, but that's just him being coy and plot-twisty. And yeah, just a joke.
