Kairos Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 When your first thought upon seeing fog is "Ooh, Mistcloak excuse!" 1
Brightness Random she/her Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 When this conversation actually happened: {insert discussion on dental things here} Me: I am offend! Cousin: What? Me: I am very offend! Cousin: Ok then.... Me: You agree? Bad teeth? Cousin: No! I've never even paid attention to your teeth Me: I am offend. Cousin: Seriously Me: No apologize! Boots! Cousin: Sneakers! Me: You will apology with boots. Cousin: I have no idea what you're saying... And I never insulted you. Cousin: Not intentionally, anyways. Me: You insult! I will tell all who are to listen! I will say, "[name] is stealer of boots and stealer of vesture!" Cousin: Um.... Cousin: Right. You do that. When your family is all completely used to you saying things like this. Everyone knows "I am a stick!" and "I am offend!". They're used to mutters of "airsick lowlanders" or "we mistborn need not make sense". My little sister, a devout avoider of books, also knows "Szeth-son-son-Vallano, Truthless of Shinovar, wore white on the day he was to kill a king". My siblings and I also get each other's attention by shouting "Child of Tanavast! Child of Honor! Child of one long since departed". When we get really into it we also include the whole "Men ride the storms no longer." "Wait! Why is there so much war? Must we always fight?" "Odium reigns". You also know you're a Sanderfan when this happens: Person 1: "That's not fair!" Person 2: "Life isn't fair." Me: *in dramatic whisper* "Odium reigns..." 10
Kairos Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 You need an excuse? Well, you know. Every type of weather has some sort of garment attached to it. And suddenly I'm thinking of Parshendi Forms. 4
Sirce Luckwielder he/him Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Last night there was an amazingly intense rainstorm in my area. My friend and I were driving home in it. We kept making Roshar and Everstorm jokes the entire time. There was a ton of lightning, sometimes a bolt every three seconds at the best point of the storm. Most of it was behind cloud cover, so it illuminated the clouds. So we talked about Stormlight. Since this was our own little Everstorm we called it the "Odium Rains." 13

Except (I think) it fertilises the soil, but Cultivation Rains doesn't have quite the same ring to it. 2
BreathBecomeYours Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 When you start using the the words "bah","perhaps" and various cosmere curses such as "storming", more often in conversation than you should. Dalinar does love the word "perhaps" 4
Kobold King he/him Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Dalinar does love the word "perhaps" Perhaps too much, some might say. 5
Dankworth he/him Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 When your alarm clock disrupts an exceptionally vivid dream of being Jason of the Phone Company. 7
Titan Arum Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) When you see an article with the headline "Is there a killer squirrel virus?" and your first response is: "No way, they're just Lifeless Squirrels. They didn't become killers from a virus, but a person's Breath. Duh." This spoiler is a rant about poor journalism. If you do not care, feel free to skip what's inside [rant] That headline is soooo misleading that it's ridiculous. It DOES make it sound like a virus that makes squirrels become crazy killers, similar to the crazy zombie ant fungus. Instead, this article is about a virus transmitted to squirrels from humans, that has killed humans. It would've been way more interesting if the squirrels were actually killers, hence the click-bait headline. Grr, I can't stand news articles like this! There are so many crap "news" websites these days that just make stuff up or mislead. Whatever happened to truly vetted, well-written articles? [/rant] [Edited to update my rant] Edited July 10, 2015 by Titan Arum 7
Moonskin she/her Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 when a friend runs to you saying "thanks for advising me to read The way of Kings, I love it!" and it makes your day better 3
Curious Anamaximder he/him Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 You know you are a Sanderfan when you read a single Sanderson book. 13
Sirce Luckwielder he/him Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 You know you are a Sanderfan when you read a single Sanderson book. This is so true it hurts. Sanderson books are the gateway drugs to . . . more Sanderson books. 6
Popular Post Kobold King he/him Posted July 10, 2015 Popular Post Posted July 10, 2015 This is so true it hurts. Sanderson books are the gateway drugs to . . . more Sanderson books. Sanderson books are the only addiction that actually improves the life of the addict over the long term. Say no to drugs, kids, 'cuz every second you spend on drugs is a second you could be spending on a Brandon Sanderson novel. 18
Elsecaller3414 she/her Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 That is one of my many excuses for not being a drug addict. You know you are a Sanderfan when you almost swear (because swearing is bad, don't do it) that you see Tyn somewhere up the canyon, and then the same week you are bummed because you find that all the frequent, about-thrice-daily storms are coming from the south, as far as anyone can tell. Also, when you find out that the Way of Kings does NOT use the metric system, which is now bugging me really badly. Like, really badly, read the Geranid chapter in part 3 interludes. I mean, the entire Vorin system is based on the number 10, isn't it?! 5
Bort he/him Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 You know you're a Sanderfan when... You trail through the Vashikaran Black Magic threads, looking for "You know you're a Sanderfan when... Part 2"
Zathoth Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 When you lose your right glove and start to feel very feminine. 7
bookspren Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 When you find every opportunity to quite Sanderson in conversations so people will think you're clever and witty, but then let them know who actually came up with the lines in hopes of making converts. 3
gjustice99 she/her Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 when you see a paperback copy of WOR in the bookstore and think about how things had been changed and you think "I NEED IT" and beg until you get it 3
natc Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 When you are not surprised that there are about half a dozen different spambots posting different things on a forum simultaneously.
Delightful Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 The awkward moment a spambot is the top poster of the day. 3
Allomancy she/her Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 You know you are a sanderfan when you quote things from his books to see if there is any sanderfan in the room. And when you find one. 4
Elsecaller3414 she/her Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Has you a crush on this other Sanderfan?
Curious Anamaximder he/him Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 You know you are a Sanderfan when you read a single Sanderson book. Yes! First Popular post! 2
+Slowswift Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 When you think Vi Hart would be brilliant at AonDor or Rithmatics. Or perhaps when you worry about the Hemalurgic properties of thorns while you're doing yardwork. 6
