You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

[The Bookwyrm he/him]

When you start mixing Brandon Sanderson fake curses to make things like "Rusts and Dusts!" and "Scudding Storms!" and "Merciful Domi's Shattering Glass!"

(Granted, I think it was @Shining Silhouette who I first saw say "Merciful Domi's Shattering Glass" on Inverse Ask Anyone Anything.)

A real conversation from just now with a friend of mine. Everyone welcome our newest convert.

Haha, yes. Always. Always more people. Make them all Sanderfans. I recently got someone to read Mistborn for the first time, and she's hooked as well.

We must continue expand our ranks.

 

You know you're a sleep deprived Sanderfan when you stay up way too late alternating between trying to read Shadows of Self and getting distracted by random stuff on the Shard.

When you stare out the window as a thunderstorm draws nearer, and think 'this is sort of like what a stormwall would be, toned way down'.

You gotta convince them to join the Shard. Also what are they reading?

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

My friend is reading the first book of Mistborn. I met him at a college visit last month, we both wanna be writers/english teachers. He happened to be in need of a book to read, so I recommended Mistborn 'cause it's my favorite and now he's hooked. I currently have three people reading it; I pass out Mistborn like LDS Missionaries hand out the Book of Mormon.

that sounds accurate.

[NameIess]

YKYASFWY finally get your brother to read Mistborn, and immediately after he finished SH you tell him to reread the ending of RoW.

I wonder if one would get in trouble if they passed out both while on their mission?

Also, that analogy is really good. I think it's accurate, I mean, the reason for passing out both books is the same, to let people experience the joy that comes from them. (Regardless your religious beliefs, you should be able to accept that statement at least).

When you quote Dalinar Kholin in your church talk. Specifically "What is the most important step a man can take. Not the first step, but always the next step."

When your first thought upon seeing the villain in the new Thor is "Szeth-son-son-Vallano wore white on the day he was to kill a king"

For reference, here's a picture: 

  Reveal hidden contents

He's even got a magic sword that whispers and is black and creates shadows (which is basically bleeding black smoke).

Just watched that movie and OH STORMFATHER, YOU’RE RIGHT. 

  Hide contents

and when he picks up the sword black veins creep up his arm. And it’s killing him. Not nearly as quickly as nightblood, but still. Gorr and Szeth both kill important rulers. And Szeth (WoR spoilers)

  Hide contents

Is a Skybreaker, and dedicated to justice. Gorr wants justice for his daughters death. 

Funny story, when we left the theater after seeing Thor: Love and Thunder, there was a highstorm. A very mild one. Some would call it a thunderstorm. 

You know you’re a Sanderfan when you start looking for every similarity between a marvel character and a Cosmere character.

Obviously, the new Thor movie's villain is a Szeth ripoff. Definitely.

[Thaidakar the Ghostblood he/him]

when you hear about a storm and you say, "ah... the everstorm approaches..."

[Little_Dagger she/her]

When you start thinking who you would heal when you come home from vacation and are greeted with: "Hey, you finally returned!".

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

When you hear the phrase fleet-footed and smile.

[S. Stormy she/her]

When you are at the beach and the wave comes closer to you than you expect, so as you jump away, you try to say scud and storms at the same time and what comes out is

SCORD!

And yes, this was purely instinctual.

[Frustration]

When you watch this video

 

And think

Spoiler

"Hold on Spren would break the bond if you used Hemalurgy, it would be easier to use Honorblades. And Monody would have a representation in the Cognitive Realm."

I know, I'll stop.

Also if whoever made this video is reading this(cause I assume you have an account here if you read the coppermind) hi, I really liked the video, and you did a good job copying his speech patterns.

I understood where the fan was going, but only heard like five things clearly cause he talked so fast.

[NameIess]

YKYASFW you realize that Alcatraz successfully fooled your dad into thinking his series was finished, causing him to read it before the last book came out.

[king of nowhere]

when a friend does not remember a conversation you had with him in the past and you accuse him of having been swapped by a kandra

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

When you name your religion in Civ VI surviviorism.

[NameIess]

YKYASF when you wonder if you could kill a vampire with a regular stick through the heart as long as you believed it was a stake.

[Shard of Reading he/him]

YKYASF when you read other books and use cosmere terms to explain the magic. 

[Shining Silhouette he/him]

When you force your sibling to listen to Sanderson whenever you're forced to drive them places (oh how the tables have turned )

When you get four different cousins to read sanderson and have a group facetime about what the heck is going on in the cosmere

When you play "Spot the Hoid" in a Sanderson relisten with your dad

[S. Stormy she/her]

When you show your sister a page at the end of Oathbringer to demonstrate the mighty Sanderlanche and she finds the sentence "Teft huddled someplace dark. Maybe the darkness would hide his sins" and finds it hilarious and now it's an inside joke between you.

 

She's read part of Way of Kings, but decided it was a huuuggge commitment and stopped reading. She's okay with spoilers.

Also this funny interaction:

Me: Why do so many kids look exactly like Tien?

My sister: Because Kaladin has issues.

Also when you have plants named Teft and Maya(laran).

Rhythm of War spoilers.

Spoiler

Me: Teft's doing so well!

My sister: That's... ironic.
