You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

[Ketek]

I think I got what it means - one side is chaotic, the other is orderly. Perhaps it's a reference to Honor (being rigid, orderly) and Cultivation (more wild, chaotic) molding Roshar together, thus symbolizing duality? Like a continental yin-yang of sorts. It'd also be an odd kind of symmetry, which sorta fits into Roshar's culture.

Which is therefore much like this forum - part serious and intellectual, part plain silly. It all comes full circle

(I'm fully expecting someone to make a wheel of time no beginnings or endings joke that I'm not really going to understand. Go figure.)

The Wheel of Discussion turns, and threads come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legends fade to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the thread that gave it birth comes again. In one thread, called the Thread by some, a Thread yet to come, a Thread long past, something dark, clever and silly rose in the Cosmere. It was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings or endings to the turning of the Wheel of Discussion. But it was a beginning.

Like the *cough* Syl thread? *cough*

That is gone, never to be spoken of again. A dark corner in the history of 17th Shard.

[Gabriele she/her]

That one lurks in the dark to come back and haunt you.

 

(Actually, I thought it was fun, but I can understand it went beyond what's acceptable on this forum.)

I know not that of which you speak, Ba'alzamon.

[LinkasZelda]

When you decide that you need this, regardless of the fact that you don't own a kindle, because it's clearly made by House Venture.

What was the Syl Thread? I keep heaing about it, and I saw the announcment about it being destroyed, but I don't know what it is.

[Swimmingly he/him]

And be thankful, Joe. Be very thankful.

Once, they called me Elan Morin Tedronai, but now they call me Ishamael, the Betrayer of Hope. Yes. Betrayer of Hope. They gave me the name to revile me, but I will yet make them kneel and worship it.

 

And be thankful, Joe. Be very thankful.

 

Be very thankful, for it is a thing beyond Everstorms and Hecklestorms. It is dark. It is bloody. It is evil distilled. And it will break you.

On the bright side, that was the day I became a Bondship.

 

You know you're a Sanderfan when you treat sticks with the utmost respect and solemnity.

Ilyena? Where are you?

In the same vein as Kobold King: You know you're a Sanderfan when you pass a bunch of Boy Scouts and think of them as heretical Firebringers.

[Left he/him]

Oi we're pyromaniacs. We don't burn sticks. We burn branches and twigs, never sticks.

If we speak the words, can we get a straight answer on what the Syl thread was?

Eh... it started off as a perfectly innocent discussion revolving around Words of Radiance and how Syl would interact with Pattern. First people started discussing a ship between Syl and Pattern, leading to Ketek declaring himself to be "The Shipfather." Some perfectly innocent questions were asked and interesting suggestions were made.

 

But then things started getting out of hand. More than a few dirty jokes were made. Eventually Rubix shut it down because of how inappropriate it had gotten.

 

Back on topic: You know you're a Sanderfan when you suddenly realizing that by posting book theories, we are attempting to see the future. And such is not of Honor.

[Left he/him]

Question before answer. Game thread before creep thread. Cosmere before earth.

Or so the Vorrins say, Stormfather just says he stinks at it.

When you want to go the party next door and lash everyone to the sealing to shut them up.

You fool, has the taint taken you that quickly? It is a shame your Aes Sedai sisters are not here; even a few minutes of lucidity would serve my purposes well enough. But no matter. I will use what I have.

 

*Draws on the True Power*

 

BE HEALED!

And if you were there, you'll never see rainspren the same way again.

 

The horror... the horror... *curls up into a fetal ball and cries*

 

 

 

Switching back to the topic, you know you're a Sanderfan when you daydream of making grand entrances with Allomancy or Surgebinding.

[BreathTaker he/him]

When you look around the Airport you work at and think, "I could jump everywhere with a Steelpush"

[TheArcanist he/him]

When you start using Scadrian metal symbols in Chemistry for your own notes- either Feruchemical of Allomantic depending on the context. Or, better yet, when you decide to learn the Alethi alphabet to take notes no one but a dedicated Sanderfan could read. Besides, it's up there on your list of fantasy languages to learn along with Dovah Speech, Tolkein Elvish, Dothraki, and Valyrian.

[Swimmingly he/him]

Now, if anyone asks you if they can borrow your notes, you can warn them that your writing's hard to read. Then, give it to them, wait ten seconds, and admire the look of utter confusion plastered across their face

[TheArcanist he/him]

I've wanted to use Scadrian symbols on Chemistry tests, just to see what the teacher would say.

[Swimmingly he/him]

"You misplaced the spike on zinc, and in the context of a doubles displacement reaction, I really think the feruchemical symbol would be more appropriate. Next time, I want to see Vorin numerals. 93%."
