When you also know that there's an Ahlstrom Tower and flying loop.

When your grandmother says you're related to some Ahlstroms and you have a minor attack of hopeful excitement.

I just checked on the FamilySearch website, the ancestry source I use, and I am distantly related to Ahlstroms and Sandersons.

When you really miss the ninja emoji in everyday texting after searching "ninja" in your emojis without anything popping up.

And then get REALLY excited when you check again only a month or so later and THERE'S A SCUDDING NINJA EMOJI

Like, I swear I checked very thoroughly and there was NO ninja emoji and NOW THERE IS. WHAT HAPPENED??

TLDR (there actually is a Mistborn 1 spoiler though).

The Lord Dead Ruler is what that stands for. At least that’s what I thought for a while.

And reading Housepets was the longest I’ve ever spent reading a comic.

When I sit on my ankles and cut off circulation and it's already cold and I'm not wearing socks, yes, they go kind of blue-purple.

[The Awakened Salad they/them]

When you see part of a license plate that says ATI and for a moment you wonder why Ruin is driving a car.

When your musician friends start talking about "Harmonies" and you immediately imagine many Sazeds. 

Mistborn Era 1 Spoilers

When you wonder if the ringing you hear in your ears constantly is the rhythms/Well of Ascension.

[Lecky Twig she/her]

When you talk about the Cosmere so much that your family inadvertently make Mistborn references. 

The Story: 

I was hiking with my dad up a super steep hill and it was kinda killing us, we had to scramble up it on all fours with heavy packs on. Then my dad said "Instead of the Deepness, it's the Steepness." This comment just made my day because I love well placed Cosmere references. But then he asked "what was the Deepness again?" and I laughed.

Dude, I listened to the audiobook immediately, waited a day, then started reading on Kindle, and then I also read the physical copy once my library got it. All at once. I finished my fifth physical copy reread last week.

Nice (I use my grandpa's audible, and he had it preordered before I even thought of it. I only remembered because he texted me that morning to ask if I had started)

How many spheres did you have to pay on copperminds!? That would be useless to me, as I would barely remember any of them.

YKYASF when you reach out with A-Iron to retrieve a soda, but then remember the cans are made of aluminum

 

...and that you aren’t a mistborn. 

or even a misting. 

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

I did a similar thing once, actually. I was reading WoA and had a bookmark with a piece of metal on it. I was trying to grab it, but it was just out of my reach. I thought, "If I was Mistborn... I could just..." And then the chair tipped over and I fell. 

[+Doomstick he/him]

This is why lurcher is the best misting.
