You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

When you know that off the top of your head.

That's including the prologue and epilogue.

Well, that's not including the interludes...

 

Also:

When it's spontaneously super foggy one morning and you're both excited and unsettled by it. (And unsettled is the more fitting feeling. Turns out it was a mix of fog and smog. The Deepness has come to choke us to death!)

When you think it'd be cool to die like a character in his books would (like suffocating in the mist).

When you make a new friend at school just today from both of you fanboying about Oathbringer, then the entire SA, and then the rest of the cosmere. I'm not the only in-depth cosmere-aware Sanderfan at my school and it makes me so happy! I now know of at least four others. Until today it was three. (Edit: It's five now. One of my best friends just finished Bands of Mourning and freaked out about it. Now she has to read Secret History and really get into the cosmere. Muahahahaha!)

When you listen to WoBs on Arcanum just to find out how to pronounce character names and the word RAFO. (Turns out, it's with a short vowel. I'd always read it as a long vowel, like Ray-foe. But no, apparently it's Rah-foe. I actually kinda prefer my pronunciation. Also, I found out I'd been saying Renarin's name wrong for a long time. Oops.)

You know you're a Sharder when you try thinking of Steelrunners, but the word that comes to mind instead is "Steeldancer". (Edit: You're welcome @Steeldancer)

I just checked and ,in audible at least, it's 140.

[Stormblessed Dolphin he/him]

when you use "Stormlight" to stick small plastic wrappers to the walls

[Tesh Any pronouns]

When for getting one of your friends tFE, and another tWoK for Christmas. 

[Truthweaver she/her]

When this conversation happens:

Dad: "Your evil minion is following you."

Me: *Looks over shoulder and sees my cat* "Oh, that's just my spren. We've bonded."

Dad: "Really? It's a weird-looking spren. What kind is it?"

Me: *Studies cat intensely. Cat flops onto his back and stretches* "I'm not sure. It hasn't given me any Stormlight powers."

Dad: "Oh, it must be a Voidspren. I saw its eyes glowing red once."

Hilarious.

I'm of the opinion that cats are ennuispren

When you stare at the blank pages at the end of Oathbringer thirsting for more and hoping that an extra chapter will just magically appear there... it didn't work

Or the next book will appear on your bookshelf. 

[Podman]

When you’re watching the new Star Wars movie, and the whole time you’re just thinking:

“Sanderson could do so much better than this.”

Then you start wanting to reread some of his stuff. 

[Quickbronze he/him]

When you see that your coat has a sleeve extension on the left sleeve but not the right and wonder why.

Then you think "well duh, it's a girls' coat" 

Then you feel unmasculine because you're wearing a girls' coat 

I may or may not not have actually thought it was a girl's coat for a second

[Rebecca she/her]

When you have a dream about you three-year-old cousin reading Mistborn. It was weird.

When you think you see someone reading Oathbringer at a swimming pool, but they’re leaving when you notice, so you don’t get a chance to ask, or talk to them about it.  

When your Wi-Fi password is cosmere related.

[Podman]

Biochromatic?

Shalladin?

Shadolin?

I am, unfortunately, bad at remembering passwords. ?

This password is safe, I think. ?

Now, see, this password is excellent. ?

[Steeldancer he/him]

When ALL your passwords are Cosmere related 

[Taliax none (name only)]

When you put your left glove on before your right one so you can feel Vorin for just a minute

[Tesh Any pronouns]

When you have to do a project on a book for English, (I couldn't do a plain book report, for some unknown reason) caller Character in a Bottle, and you choose to write your paper on Kaladin. Then I decorated a jar like Kaladin. Syl, spear, brands, and Bridge Four patch included.

[Podman]

That’s storming adorable. Storming. Adorable. Kaladin shouldn’t be adorable!!! Noooooo!!! @Tesh, what have you done!?!?

 

Take my upvote. Just... take it. 

[Quickbronze he/him]

When you think of a videogame in terms of Mistborn 

[CrazyManth3 he/him]

When there's a treat at a church activity and they're serving cookies, so you casually say to your sister who is currently eating one, "I hope these aren't spiked."

When the only reason you remembered someone's name was because you tied it to a Sanderson reference.

[King Cole he/him]

When you see the League of Legends Voidbringer illaoi skin and you freak out

[T8* he/him]

When you are DMing and you can't help but include cosmere references all over the place

[Farnsworth]

When you are absolutely determined to be an Ookla until Koloss Head-Munching Day!

[Stormblessed Dolphin he/him]

When you start talking about cosmere stuff, and your friends have no idea what you're talking about, but you don't care because maybe all the weird things you say will make them want to read the books so they can figure out why you're so weird

Probably a dumb question, but what day is that?  Because I thought it was Saturday and apparently I was wrong ^^;

[Sunbird she/her]

@Tesh That is the cutest Kaladin I've ever seen!! Excellent job!

You know you're a Sanderfan when... (spoilers for Bands of Mourning/Secret History)

Spoiler

You see a license plate that says "sovereign" and you immediately associate it with Kelsier.
