You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

Most powerul being in the two universes, especially if she could push and pull on it.

Well, maybe except for shards and the Whills

Even if Star wars metals don't count she could have it made out of titanium and it would work.  

When you have this conversation.

[Ishar]

When your non-sanderfan friends automatically assume that whenever you say something that doesn't make sense it is a book reference.

When your sanderfan friend gets a unicorn onesie and tells you that it has a gold horn, so you immediately warn them to be careful of hemalurgic spikes.

When you begin wondering if you hemalurgically spiked a horse in the cosmere through the head could you create a unicorn? If anybody knows please let me know.

 

Also, on your starwars topic, the original lightsaber's where just CGI surrounding sticks (at least that is what I have heard). And do you know what that means? It means that the stick Shallan failed to soulcast was also Luke's lightsaber, among other things.

Fear the onesie. Ishar, you’re first on my list of “People to Hemalurgically Spike.” 

And also: Unicorn horns are made out of pure investiture from all 16 shards woven together in a spiral. The horns also work as shardblades. They are the Bands of Mourning. Unicorns have the Tenth Heightening, are sand masters, and they all splinters of the amazing Tenth Pancake.

This also explains why it wouldn’t want to be fire.

Laser or fire? Tough choice.

Wasn't I the one who said this originally?

You take my onesie, I take your unicorn explanation. 

 

...and I fix the grammar.

When you finish all of Brandon Sanderson books, and think "what do I do now" then you reread them. 

[Borio Singaldi he/him]

When you strike up a conversation and become friends with some total strangers at a bus station because you overheard the words "Warbreaker" and "Oathbringer" being uttered by them. (We talked cosmere almost the entire way home until parting separate ways, except at the end, where it devolved into a conversation about anime where they tried introducing me to One Punch Man.)

When one quarter of the songs you play at your piano recital of original works are cosmere based.

[Reckless Reader]

When you go on a road trip with your dad and spend the entire drive time listening to WoK on audiobook. I had to pause every five minutes to explain that no, Hoid is not a Herald. Quit being so paranoid. (Though that was probably my fault for hyping Hoid so much...) And also reiterating the difference between Vorin and Veden. Anyone else have trouble with that at first?

Your cosmere songs are brilliant firerust! I'm not a good songwriter, but I'm okay at playing.

when your very first thought is "But Shardblades are cooler!!! why would you want a lightsaber if you could have a shardblade?"

Thank you!  But HEY! Don't downgrade your own abilities. For you saying that, now I want to hear you play the piano (or whatever other instrument you play if it's not that)!

[Ethan_sedai he/him]

when your friend calls their computer a 'puter, and the only thing you hear is the Allomantic metal.

when, at lunch, one of your friends asks another friend "why are you here?" and you respond with "Personally, I think lunch should come before Philosophy."

when you help a confused person trying to find book 1 of any of Brandon's books at the library, since the school year just started and they are all checked out except for Rithmatist. (even though it is technically a media center, it is a library. Not only are the jackets of the hardcover versions of Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians taped to the books, if you try to see the map by opening up the book and pulling the jacket back, they covered the map with a piece of paper taped over it! those librarians are definitely evil.)

when you wish you had access to almost any of Brandon's magic systems, because it would make life so much easier.

when you hear about this in a class

 

and your first thought is about a Coinshot trying to plug things in from a distance. (also, someone who I met in that class is also a sanderfan, and cosmere-aware. we had a big discussion on how long it would take a Coinshot to actually get it into the plug. I said it would be easy, he'd just have to line up the plug's blue lines with the outlet's blue lines...)

when you have all of this new material for this thread, but you can't help but feeling you still forgot something...

edit: what happened to the picture!? maybe if i put it in a spoiler...

When you have a nightmare about your friend who you lent TFE to, returning your book in horrible condition. *shudders* It felt so real. And it was awful.

[+Sorana she/her]

When you paint glyphs on the black cases of your mobiles to keep them apart.

[Jude he/him]

When you check 17th shard 17 times a day... I might have a problem

[Ink he/him]

When you have your phone notifications to ping you when there is an email. (I don't turn off those notifications, I need to know who said what and where)

Also, @Firerust, you caught me at a bad time. I'm learning new pieces right now, so they don't sound very good. And yes, I play piano (and trombone, but I'm usually just support)

Edit: also, my science teacher started talking about Cohesion and Adhesion, and I just kinda smiled. No one in the class reads Sanderson, unfortunately.

My math teacher just said "colon" and I heard "Kholin". It took me a full three seconds to figure it out.

Edit: My bio teacher just said "collect" and I heard "Kelek". My brain is on vacation to Roshar, apparently.

Also, what is the difference between Cohesion and Adhesion?

 brain autocorrecting to the proper thing.

Cohesion is a substance sticking to itself, I.e. Water droplets. Adhesion is one substance sticking to another, i.e. condensation on a cup.

also, a surgebinder using cohesion could actually UNbind molecules, with practice. You could literally un-make someone... don't get on stonewards or willshaper's bad sides.

when you relate real-life physics to sanderson physics. Or learn about one from the other. Or just focus way too much on fictional physics (metallurgy is kinda confusing TBH applying to real life. Storing weight, but not losing any physical mass? I kinda get it, but still.)

That’s kind of freaky, since that’s exactly what happened in my bio class today...he even used the word ‘bind’ without realizing how fitting it was.

Spoiler

Take that all my friends who are annoying since they gave up on Sanderson! Our school isn’t pathetically behind everyone else!

Spoiler

They bug me half to death with complaints about the education we’re getting.

Spoiler

The other half is how one of them just stopped reading in the middle of Mistborn

Spoiler

She has yet to be forgiven 

 

 

 

 

When you realize that being a Sanderson fan isn’t a life choice, it’s an automatic thought process.

Just curious, is your bio teacher's last name Pratt?

When your friends are talking about some of those depressing, dog dies/cancer books, and they’re trying to get you to read some, and your tempted to say, “Sorry, I don’t read fantasy books.”
