You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

[Shallan's Ward he/him]

When you spend more time thinking about cosmere concepts than your homework, then hurry to do your homework, then wish you worked for Dragonsteel.

[Nerd3.14159265358979 he/him]

When you go on a four day camping trip and are really disappointed when you only have one notification...

[Archer he/him]

You know you're a sanderfan when your first thought upon seeing someone wearing a pair of tinted sunglasses is, 'I wonder what those lenses do?'. 

My second thought is usually, 'better check the Coppermind!'. 

My third is, 'hmmm interesting. But since they're not an oculator I should be safe... *looks up from phone* Hey! Where'd they go?'. 

Followed by, 'I should be a Smedry for Halloween. All I'd have to do is put on a pair of glasses and act recklessly all day'. 

This internal monologue may possibly probably unfortunately be based on a real experience. 

[AonEne he/him]

When you're wearing a shirt with 'my' on it, then look in the mirror and do a double-take upon seeing 'Ym'.

[Devout Pathian]

When you are reading another book and you read “Stormfather” instead of “Storm King.”  Yep I had to do a double take.

[SzethIsBadAsHell he/him]

When your wife wants to take you out for your birthday and the only thing you want to do is look at the new mistborn RPG books u got in the mail today!

[Reckless Reader]

When you decide to refer to our favorite white-wearing assassin as "Szeth-son-son-Vallano, Wielder of Cool Swords".

(If you've finished WoR, you're fine:)

Spoiler

I mean, seriously, an Honorblade and Nightblood??? How awesome can you get??

I got a friend to make these

@Ishar is storming mean and wouldn’t give one to me. 

You know you’re a Sanderfan when a friend refuses to give you a laser cut of the Radiant symbols, so you yell at them via text and punch a pillow.

Any other Edgedancers out there?

Nah, but we share a Surge. I'm personally a Truthwatcher, so... Yay Progression?

I gave one of them to a different friend, and lost the other one...

I’m better than the different friend. You should have given it to me.

Agreed. Yay Progression! We’re basically the doctors of the KR, so the rest of y’all better bow down.

Also, I just realized that my username does not reflect my Order. Oh well. Too lazy to change it. 

[Supreme King Z-arc he/him]

When the Speaker At efy Says intent and you wonder if it is capital Intent or just intent 

[Narcoleptic Axolotl he/him]

. . . you accidentally say Nergaoul instead of Nazgul.

[The Harlem Worldhoppers he/him]

When you see someone make an incredible prediction and wonder how they did so without access to Fortune or the Spiritual Realm

[King Cole he/him]

When you can draw the Bridge 4 glyph from memory

[Ashspren]

You know you’re a Sanderfan when...

 

You are playing the guitar, and someone asks: “who’s playing the guitar?”

You scream back: “It’s not a guitar, it’s a storming enthir! Airsick lowlander!”

Another friend, who you didn’t know has read the Way of Kings, asks: “Then why are you strumming it?”

You are stupified.

 

You look at a clock, but think “time fabrial” instead.

 

Text messaging is now considered communication via spanreed.

 

You start to write music based off of how awesome you think it would be as background music for the Cosmere books.

 

You really want to write a Cosmere fanfiction, but you realize that the information you want to write about has already been canonized and written by Sanderson.

 

Your autofill search options on Google are “Oathbringer,” “Kaladin Stormblessed,” and “Brandon Sanderson.”

 

When you stub your toe, and act like the world is ending. A friend walks in and says, “Oh, quit being so melodramatic.”

So you stand up, seize them by the arms, and scream in their face: “THINK ABOUT HOW INSENSITIVE YOU’RE BEING! IF I WAS AN ELANTRIAN, WOULD I BE MELODRAMATIC?!?!”

 

You have literally annotated Cosmere books by choice. (Don’t worry, they’re eBooks. I would never write in a physical copy of a book by choice. *shudders*)

 

You’ve spent more time on the 17th Shard than actually talking to people. Human interaction is overrated.

 

A friend has literally had to yell at you because you keep on trying to get them to read Sanderson books. They tell you to let it go, but that just makes you think of the song “Let it Go.” You realize that Elsa is the “one with the wind and sky.”

Elsa, are you a Windrunner? Disney, how could you have kept this from us?!?!

Come to think of it, all of the disney princesses with magical powers could be Surgebinders...

Elsa — Windrunner

Rapunzel — Edgedancer

Moana — I don’t know, but there’s gotta be something...

 

You start to relate other characters from different books and movies to the orders of the Knights Radiant. Hermione Granger is a total Elsecaller. Jason Grace is either a Windrunner or Skybreaker. Clary Fray is a Lightweaver. Etc, etc, etc...

 

You and your Sanderfriends (did I just coin a new term?) have hour long discussions about Sanderson themed Halloween costumes.

You know you're a Sanderfan when you try to assign Orders to the main characters in your own writing.

I know the feeling. For some reason, all my characters are very broken and are massive candidates for Radiance. Yay for horribly broken characters!

Mine tend to not be as broken, except for a few...

I do have one character where I'm not sure whether she meets the requirement to become a Knight in the first place. Would want to see some Dustbringer oaths before I can definitely settle on that...

So relatable. I'm trying my hardest to write a book right now, and the only thing I can think of is "Hey, that character would be a dustbringer..."

When you get annoyed when your computer tells you that Cosmere isn't a word, and then doubly annoyed when the 17th Shard tells you Cosmere isn't a word.

My regular search bar doesn't even do that, and yet the 17th Shard search bar does.

Seriously, can somebody change that?

When you're super excited that your new neighbor has read the Inheritance Cycle and Harry Potter and Percy Jackson and stuff -- not because you want to geek out about them (though you do) but because having read and enjoyed those books means she will probably read the Cosmere if recommended!! Ha haaa! Evil plan initiated!
