I think this is the thread Tesh is referring to: Fantasy Addicts Anonymous

Huh. Okay, thanks.

When you put yourself to sleep trying to puzzle out the odd names of Hoid, and what it could mean for the cosmere

They mean everything.

[Stormfather-in-Law]

When you listen to NPR in the car, and every day they do their spiel about sponsors and "brought to you by" and you listen with just half an ear because who really pays attention to that sort of thing. And then they always finish with "And the Listeners..." and instead of thinking of the nice people calling in to donate you picture marbled skin and stringy hair. Every. Single. Time.

Seriously, no matter how many times I hear that, for some reason I'm never expecting it. I end up speculating and musing about Voidbringers and their motives for supporting NPR.

When you pretend that all the steam from your shower is actually mist.

When you eat a chocolate chip cookie and hope it isn't spiked (then hold a mini texting conversation with your friend talking about it)

When you dream of a Shade apocalypse...

That would be terrifying

[TNTman20 he/him]

When you are with a friend and they are lifting up a speaker and the only thing that goes through your head is the end of the White Sands Volume II shardcast

Kenton! Kenton!

The conversation was two texts long if I remember rightly

When you check all your cookies suspiciously for spikes.

[Lunar Blessing she/her]

When you walk slowly through a forest because you might anger the shades

[Rebecca she/her]

When you walk slowly whenever it is dark at all for the reason mentioned above. I physically force myself not to run, because for a sanderfan, running in the dark is much more terrifying than walking through the dark. 

When your little brother is also afraid to run in the dark. I have corrupted him.

When you name your little stuffed kiwi bird from New Zealand Tein. 

My sloth is George.

[Gancho Libre he/him]

When you've had so many spiked cookies that you no longer care whether or not the next one is.

When you go to Silicon Valley Comic Con and are disappointed because the most Sanderson-related thing you see there is your t-shirt.

You didn't see the cosplayer in the havah? I'd post a picture here, but I forgot to ask her permission to put it online. But she was delighted when I said hi!

[Rebecca she/her]

When your friend says something about orange wine (because he was talking about fermenting orange juice. I know, my friends are weird) and you get all excited, only to be dissappointed.

When you're scared to answer this math problem, for obvious reasons: 

 

The problem was being done because I want to have 100% Khan Academy's math section completed, not because I need practice in this area, by the way.

The reasons aren't too obvious; I didn't get it. It's not as if the problem involves cookies.

Storytime! Like any good library, my local library is big. So, I rely on landmarks to find my way around. More specifically, a potted plant. For as long as I can remember, on the shelf parallel to the shelf housing Brandon’s works has been a fern. It's a nice fern, well lit by the nearby window - if it sounds like I've spent a lot of time looking at it, that's because I have. Every time I go to the library,  I swing by the S section go see if they've gotten any new books by Brandon. 

This all changed one fateful day not long ago. Someone (I have yet to find out who) moved the plant. I walked over to the plant, turned right and freaked out. For a fleeting moment I thought they had gotten a dozen new books. But my elation was for not. When I discovered the subterfuge I was disappointed. The end. 

P. S. The moral of this story is that you shouldn't ever, under any circumstances, move your plants. It only leads to confusion and heartbreak.

Was the plant's name Counk Duku?

When you watch Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them during Leadership because we were in there for three hours (this was my second time watching it, though), and you keep wanting to call Queenie a Oculator.

I didn't see her. I must have went on a different day as her, cause I'm sure I would have noticed.

[Ink he/him]

When you go to Florida for spring break, and people say the stupidest things and all you can think is "airsick lowlanders" I'm not saying that everyone there is, but I saw a few (we also have our crazies in Utah, I just paid a bit more attention on vacation)
