Do they do the veden hula or the rosharan hand jive? 

The alethi shuffle acually

Not the Herdazian fox trot?

I couldn't stop laughing. Every time it slowed down, my friend told/showed me an even funnier Cosmere joke. My vision went black for a second and then I saw purple dots. I later joked that I saw Fear spren

That's... Nice...

When you count down for 16 hours to when you get to read Oathbringer samples and they get delayed. 

So you alternately feel overwhelmed by bouts of rage and grief. 

Seriously people. Do I scream or cry? I don't even know anymore.

When you have a job interview in 45 minutes, you already know the preview chapters have another 8 hours til release, and you STILL can’t think of anything but Oathbringer and are legitimately worried you’ll cite realmatic theory as one of your strengths.

That'll definitely happen to me if I ever apply for a job.

But for the moment, I am dead set on becoming an author.

I actually said "realmatic theory" without even thinking when my current boss asked for my strengths during the interview. God knows I'm lucky that he's read Sanderson and lurks on the Shard

[Sami she/her]

When you see something funny/attention worthy and your first instinct is to post it on the Shard, Brandon related or no

You know your Employer's a Sanderfan when this gets you the job.

 

Best of luck Extesian!

 

Edit: Hadn't seen your reply when I wrote this. It isn't as funny now

When you're at work, and you're pretending to work, but you're not actually working, because Oathbringer.

When you should be studying but Oathbringer, and only Oathbringer is in your mind.

[ButteryShards he/him]

You know you're a sanderfan when you pick up a shovel at work...

that familiar feeling of the wooden handle, that subtle weight... it just feels so right! Storms it feels good! 

You tighten your grip and without thinking you're already going through the familar stances and movements 

You break out into a run. Strike! Block! Strike! 

You end with a leaping thrust into an unknown imagined enemy.

Sweat is dripping down your face and you swear you can see little puffs of storm light as you breathe in and out.

You look up

You see all your work mates 

Woops 

I did it again didn't I? 

(I'm a landscaper)

When you are struggling because everyone is reading Oathbringer chapters except you, because you vowed to reread the previous books before you started Oathbringer, but you have no time to read the books really fast because you need to do a lot of work, and you're impatient because you know Oathbringer chapters are out, and you're super curious, and you're about to give up your oaths and dive into Oathbringer anyway.

Patiencespren are jerks. We'll understand if you break your oath. 

(I'm halfway through my WoR reread. Still reading samples)

When you are blown away by the Blackthorn and literally cannot come up with a meaningful theory because you need a recovery time.

Judging by the fact that I'm now more afraid of Oathbringer spoilers than spoilers from the last GoT episode (which are everywhere, adn which I have not yet seen), I think it's time to go for it! I cannot handle more stress haha

When you can't stop referencing the Cosmere to save your life.

[Penumbra]

here's a new one already:

when you need to look proper for company recruiters, and you've mindlessly scribbled allomantic symbols all over your hands (:
Oh well it's art, I'm applying to do art. They should understand!

[Sparkrunner he/him]

"ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS?!?!?! FOR A SOUNDTRACK?!?!?!?! FOR ONE OF YOUR BOOKS?"

"Um actually it comes with some other stuff like posters and"

"I DISOWN YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[Nathrangking he/him]

When somebody wears a brightly colored shirt and you get offended.

[Draginon he/him]

When you can add people like Dilaf and Straff to your "characters I hate so much" list

[Tesh Any pronouns]

I FINALLY PREORDERED OATHBRINGER!!!!!

Spoiler

I had to put this somewhere...
