how did you find those? 

I must learn those

 

Here's the pictures I used. The English letters on the script image look pretty similar, so double-check you're writing the right shape!

The glyphs are read symmetrically from left to right as a single symbol. The symbol is a word. They symbols aren’t separated into letters. You then would stylize the general shape into the noun.

Interesting, could you explain more?

 So, when writing a glyph, those symbols you used are the parts that make up the glyph. So if you looked at this

Then you’d see the original “stance” glyph, and then you’d see each of the different lines are a symbol, a letter symbol. Then you mirror what you have drawn over the y-axis, because symmetry. The glyphs themselves are from left to right and stylized. Heavily stylized, sometimes to the point where it can be difficult to distinguish the separate letters. But it’s a kind of art, with every glyph looking different.

When you keep getting reputation from old YKYaSW posts and you realize that people are such fans that they go through all the old posts 

[Reckless Reader]

With relation to the glyphs, it's actually really fun to squish and rearrange the lines to make it look like something. I've done this with names of friends, and it's incredible how many different things you can make with a single name

[GoWibble he/him]

wow, very nice. I really like the bird (eagle?) one

Meanwhile, I drew a majestic chicken in a tornado:

So majestic 

The phoenix one is my name, I spent a lot of time on it

Looks like my profile pic.

YKYASW you walk like a Vorin lighteyed lady. (But only while barefoot, as I am a darkeyed peasant).

When you can’t decide which Sanderson book to use for a book report.

When you want to write a persuasive paper over why people should read cosmere books.

[Karger he/him]

YKYASWY somehow misread the word read as RAFO

When you look for some brass when tired

When looking at an online class advertisement for object oriented programing you think of Elantris.

[AonEne he/him]

When you use the humans-are-Voidbringers reveal for an assignment on Yellow Journalism.

YKYASFWY get Oathbringer for christmas, and finish it on Christmas.

You know you are a fan of the 17th shard when you look at the forum games threads, and 6 of the threads at the top all have your profile pic because you just replied to them all.

It's a rite of passage  

[Kelsier'sGodComplex she/her]

YKYASFW you respond with, ¨I visited that magical place once" When some talks about going outside. They all look at you weirdly while you try hard not to laugh.

[SirWolfe]

YKYASFW:

-you try and explain to a friend why you are laughing so hard at an I" am a Stick" meme, and it turns into an hour long, in-depth explanation of the history and worldbuilding of the Cosmere

-anytime you read the words "invested", "shard", "connection", and "identity", it triggers your brain to pull up Cosmere-relevant information and histories.

yeah, for sure
