You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

[Archer he/him]

I don't watch Game of Thrones. But apparently it's a 'pop culture phenomenon' so people keep inundating me with information about it. Anyway, I'm told that's there's a quasi-Mistborn setup, with houses and fancy families. I recently, against my will, I might add, learned that one of them, a certain 'House Arryn', has the motto 'As High As Honor'. 

YKYASW when your first thought upon hearing that is 'Soooo... six feet under?'

[Ethan_sedai he/him]

I’m not interested in Game of Thrones, it can’t be as good as Sanderson, otherwise I would have heard more about it.

YKYASW this necklace that your friend sent you looks like a Cryptic so you name it Ellipsis and pretend that it can hum to you.

It's not. I tried it not long ago. It's disgusting, and even ignoring that it's just not that good. I couldn't finish. I normally try to see the good side of books, so trust me when I say this one has very few redeeming qualities - none of which I can pull to mind now.

YKYASF when you check the iron content on Nutrition Facts labels to see how much you could be burning.

I read his book in the same world for YA. It wasn't that great and the plot was predictable from the first chapter. A friend of mine is in the middle of Game of Thrones. He seems to regard it as crem de la crem fantasy, but then again, he's yet to read Sanderson (pushing it off indefinitely until he finally finishes Game of Thrones).

The Game of thrones books are good from what I remember. They aren't like amazing, but it's been a few. 

Also beautiful Cryptic, I mean, pendant, @Shard of Thought

Thanks! It's fun to show to other Sanderfans. 

[whattheHoid she/her]

Did your friend make the pendant? @Shard of Thought

No, she got it on Amazon. She lives in Dubai currently, but we've been friends since I was less than 1.

When your brother is talking about how anything entertains him and he says, “I get excited by rocks.” and you think of Tien.

[AonEne he/him]

Me, I get excited by Rocks.

That makes me both sad and happy! Is this possible???

Also, you know you're a Sanderfan when you learn how to say "I am a Stick" in french. (It's Je Suis une Baton) (or Je suis un Baton for the guys)

Yep. Exactly how I felt too.

[Lunamor she/her]

When you are watching the trailer for the new Stars Wars game and it says “there are three simple rules” and you immediately list off:

1. Do not spill the blood of another.

2. Do not light any fires.

3. Do not move quickly during the night.

[TheGirlWhoLookedUp she/her]

When you’re trying stick welding for the first time in Metals and you can’t get the electrode stick thing to light. You are tempted to yell at your stick to be fire and suddenly know how Shallan feels in WoR.

Seriously though, it took me a good half hour to light it then keep it burning for more than a second.

YKYASW you decide to draw pewter symbols on the hands of you and your friends in track for good luck at the meet today.

YKYASW you mishear “Hungarian” as “Hemalurgic” in an ad and have a minor inner breakdown because you think that the Inquisition and/or the DA have taken over.
