You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

[Lord Meeker he/him]

When your yearbook quote says, "I mix as well as hamsters mix with a bucket of paint."

[Barbarian AL he/him]

You start losing your hair and think: The shaod has come for me!

[Apollyon he/him]

When you spend your time measuring the amount of iron in human beings, correcting assumptions about compounding + Awakening, and seeing how fast pure iron digests in a human stomach. (That last one was ridiculously tough to find a straight answer to.)

What was said difficult answer?

[Apollyon he/him]

So tough I still haven’t found it. I’ll probably have to consult the deep web for this.

[Nerd3.14159265358979 he/him]

Ha! That's hillarious! 

[Devout Pathian]

When eating cereal in the morning, you look at the levels of metals and think, “yes there is zinc, I can use my emotional allomancy.”

[Barbarian AL he/him]

When you see a broken lamp post and think: reckless coinshots!

[Reckless Reader]

When you're listening to your friend talk about how she prepared for the test, and something about it seems off but you can't place your finger on it... until you realize she prepared in all three realms. Physical by getting enough sleep, cognitive by studying and spiritual by wearing clothes she liked.

When you have a 6 1/2 inch tall stack of exactly three books.

[Jehoiada he/him]

I like Sanderson books, they are good for hitting people with.

Quote

Sorry, I just read the first four Alcatraz books...

[Tesh Any pronouns]

When you and @Cel have this long conversation about which Cosmere shirt we should get. We're going to get matching ones, and are trying to decide between the Bridge Four one with just the big glyph across the front, or the one with the Cosmere symbol, or the Ask me about the Cosmere one.

[Gasper he/him]

When you see a grey sheet at the thrift store and think "mistcloak" or your brother attacks you with a life sized foam shardblade.

[Barbarian AL he/him]

Don't know If this is relevant but my sister asked me why the internet was not working and I immediately said: Something must be blocking the Dor. 

[Apollyon he/him]

When you haven’t finished your reread of a Sanderson book and it’s due at the library today so you read the last 300 pages in an hour.

[Tesh Any pronouns]

When @Cel's phone case looks like it has little bits of brass in it, so you are always joking about licking it. (And actually licking it. ) So now we joke about licking the brass players in band too. They're gross though. Not all brass players are, just the ones in our band.

[LadyLameness]

My housemate and I share a birthday and she set up a Facebook event with the word 'Spikey' in it. (For non-Cosmere related reasons)

I'm going to bake chocolate chip cookies and giggle manically to myself every time someone eats one. 

There is maybe two people coming who may get the joke.

[Gasper he/him]

when you see jewelry and start thinking they are metalminds. Especially when it is someone with a ton of piercings.

And you can't even use Google Earth to help you figure out what the problem is!!  Oh nooooo...

 

[Slimy_Slider]

When you decide to make your signature either written in Vorin script or as a Glyph.

[Proud Darkeyes she/her]

When it rains steadily for more than a day and your family is super confused about this 'Weeping' you keep mentioning

[Apollyon he/him]

When you are desperately trying to convince your Sanderfriends to get accounts on the 17th Shard but they refuse to because of what they’ve seen it do to you... 

[Gasper he/him]

When you start wondering where allomantic steel is on the iron carbon phase diagram.

[Tesh Any pronouns]

Mwa a ha ha ha!

When you bought a copy of Warbreaker even though you've already read it, and a copy of the Dark Talent, even though you still need to read the fourth book. And a Bridge Four shirt, and an Ask Me About the Cosmere one. Mwa ha ha ha!

The books will get here on Monday, and the shirts on Wednesday.

[LadyLameness]

The GM of my Shadowrun RPG group gave us a Shardblade. He hasn't read SA so it was completely accidental and now I keep getting weird looks because of exactly how eager I am about this development.
