You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

[Apollyon he/him]

When you realize the girl sitting in front of you at choir practice right now looks like Vin...

[Lord Meeker he/him]

When slot canyons become the Shattered Plains.

[Tesh Any pronouns]

When you go over to a new member of your ward's house, and are thrilled that they ask you if you have read Sanderson after they found out you like to read.

[Ashspren]

You know your a Sanderfan when...

 

You meet friends by introducing them to the Sanderverse.

You spend most of your time on the 17th Shard, desperate for more reputation points.

Your autocorrect changes all of the Cosmere related words, so you scream “RAG DOMI” in frustration. Then, of course, you cover your mouth in shame. Such foul language!

You wonder what this universe would be like if everything existed in Realmatic Theory. My spirit web would be incredibly cracked...

You wish you had a wingwoman as good as Sylphrena.

You call people Sanderson related nicknames. Don’t like them? They’re “airsick lowlander.” Like them, and they’re your friend... or maybe more? They’re “potato in a minefield,” because that’s how much you care about them.

Every time you see a bird, you call it a chicken.

People literally have to tel you to stop being obsessed with the Cosmere.

You read a book, and think about how much better it would be if Sanderson wrote it.

You play Geometry Dash and wonder if everything is just a cryptic, because ooooh pretty patterns! If not, they’re obviously Aons.

You wonder where other books from different authors tie into the Cosmere.

Instead of justifying investiture with science, you justify science with investiture.

You realize that one of your friends could do the BEST Shallan cosplay, so you force her to read the Cosmere books because SHE NEEDS TO COSPLAY THAT.

You try to find the next time that Sanderson visits your hometown. Then, you scream when you realize that it recently passed... (this did not happen recently, by the way)

Your greatest fear is that you will forget about the Cosmere when you get older, as it will span quite a long time. It’s an irrational fear, though. You won’t forget it.

When you contemplate and check user activity to figure out the person that is giving reputation to you and only you... 

Still haven’t found out...

[Steeldancer he/him]

When you're given a project in culinary where you have to design your own restaurant, and you immediately think of doing an immersive Alethi dining experience.

I would totally upvote that for you, but I ran out of upvotes for the day...

By the way, you should totally do that. Are you going to serve both men’s and women’s food? What’s going to happen to the people that take the wrong one?

Yes. Men and Women's food. Have like specific menus for each. I mean it's just a concept for fun, not an actual thing so it'll just be fun to imagine. An entire menu of Chouta-to-go

I actually really want to try chouta... if anyone has a recipe, they should totally share it on the Shard. Hint hint!

When you are home sick from school, and you spend much of your time awake on the shard.

[Gancho Libre he/him]

the best pastime... besides actually reading BS.

You aren't also spending your sleeping moments on the Shard??? You ain't a true Sanderfan until you dream of being on the Shard (I've done this like 5 times).

I never remember my dreams, so maybe I have, and I just don’t know it. 

[LittleGreyDragon]

When you're doing routine figure studies, come across a photo of a model sitting in a huddled, broken sort of posture, and immediately think, "He's Hoed."

When that thought leads you to turn your "quick practice sketch" into a massive Elantris illustration.

[Gancho Libre he/him]

When you use the things said here to shape your schedule and your entire life.

Ex; Now I have to learn how to draw so I can be a Sanderfan...

I remember very little of what I dream, but I do know that I have had dreams where I was on the Shard.

When sixteen is one of your favorite numbers.

When your friend says one of his characters has 'Void magic' and you get worried. (This was before he read the SA.)

[Apollyon he/him]

When you’re in History and are given an assignment to make a country + government with a group and you and your sander-friend immediately suggest Alethkar to your respective groups. The teacher ended up telling us we couldn’t have the same name, so my friend bullied me into taking Jah Keved... Then I had to put up with forcing my group to accept Jah Keved. (It worked!)

[Podman]

Does that still count as you creating it?

[Apollyon he/him]

Er... probably not. My group didn’t like all the Vorin doctrine and taboos, so we went with a socialist society.

[Rebecca she/her]

When in speech class the teacher is talking about perception, and all you can think about is soulcasting, soulstamping, and most importantly, stick. I drew a picture of stick saying “I am a stick” on that page of my notes.

[Kidpen he/him]

When you have 31 notifications and counting when you get on the Shard. I don't even want to know what's gonna happen when I'm gone for a week.

*shudders*

[Archer he/him]

When someone says to you "that's BS!" and your first thought is of Brandon. That was a weird conversation. 

[AonEne he/him]

When someone says something along the lines of "The skeletons are alive!" (I don't know why) and your first thought is, "Is it Awakening, Bloodsealing, or a kandra?"

My football field (I thiiiink that's what it is. My school confuses me) has fake grass, and under the stuff is this black gravel-type substance that is reminiscent of sand. Today in gym I picked some up and wondered, Why is all the Investiture gone from this if the sun is shining really brightly? On a semi-related note, I like to take shelter under tall people. Number 8439758943275893247529 why short people are better.

When you think, I should make Kaz's list reality.

[Ink he/him]

when your science teacher asks for properties of aluminum and you say "allomantically inert." Everyone stared at me as me and my friend shared a knowing look.

when you start cracking up at the coppermind page for the stick.https://coppermind.net/wiki/Stick

*doesn't look at page*

Stick is a confirmed member of BARK and BITE.

Is that correct?

And there is a theory that he is a worldhopper, or that he can be used as a hemalurgic spike.
