You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

[Jude he/him]

When someone says hurricane Florence and you think Highstorm.

[Silva]

When you get back a foreign language assignment and your teacher tells you she loves the story you wrote for it. It was a mini TFE fanfiction.

HERALDS ABOVE I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING

So Nale is pronounced "nail", right? Well, okay, I never really liked that, so I usually just call him Nin. I was thinking -- "it makes it kind of sound like he's a Hemalurgic spike. I mean, it's not like he grants powers or -- OH STORMS NVM HE DOES"

I mean, he pretty much tells the spren who to bond, right?

It is DEFINITELY Nah-ley.

Anyway...

...When you see this: 

and your first thought is "Scadrial? Nope, doesn't fit, and it would be too obvious anyway." (the actual answer was Gotham, and yes this is from over a month ago, I am catching up.

When you start using the common phrases daily, kolo?

[Darth Woodrack he/him]

When this is the site you spend longest on over all including google.

[AonEne he/him]

IT'S NAIL. (That was hilarious, by the way.)

When you ask your mom to tell you how TKAM ends and she says "Read and find out". (May have been intentional, but I don't think so.) And you say "Don't you RAFO me!"

When you keep reading the shortening of Calpurnia - Cal - as Calil. I then mentioned this to Potency; he thought I said Kal as in Kaladin. So I guess that makes him a Sanderfan

When you have a dream that Ashspren published a book, and you were in it. It was like a mix of cosmere, Harry Potter, and Warriors (Erin Hunter). I don't even know.

When you hear "Royal tomb of Ur" and you think, "That guy was royal? In what country?"

When you discover the definition of animism, and decide that Awakening is a better name. (Secondarily, I considered animus dragons.)

When you hear the word irrelevant, and of course TLT pops into your head.

When you wish you wrote down more than just Waxed and Wayned to remind yourself to put that on here, because now you can't remember why.

When you wonder if the royal bearing of the color purple could make people ignore the fact that you're darkeyed.

When you get bored and try to write your next RP post. (I say try because there was way too much I needed to check from previous posts.)

When you misread Urartu as Urteau. And then Urithiru.

When, for the barest instant, you consider signing up to the roast contest as the black sphere.

When you think Babylon looks like how Luthadel does in your head.

When you see Ishtar and think Ishar. Followed by Ishar the Sharder.

When the words "Great-Auntie Syl" almost make you burst out laughing, and think of Sylphrena as an aunt.

When you write down all of this, just to share on here.

This just reminds me of the Karate Kid. “Wax on. Wax off.” But instead it’s, “Waxed on. Wayned off.”

its “roughs”

[Sciencespren]

When you're reading something non-Sanderson and thinking  "this would be so much easier with a Shardblade...."

I didn’t make this but use this in your book

When you ask people if they mean "Capitol I intent?"

[Jude he/him]

when you try to get your reputation up to see what you are, I get really excited when I get a new reputation.

When you wonder why someone gave you rep for a post on here minutes ago, when you posted it way back in april. (Which one of you is stalking me?!?!?!)

 

that might have been me, I only discovered these threads (parts 1 and 2) and decided to start at the beginning and read it all, giving upvotes to posts like they were recent... 

You know you're a sanderfan when you start all the way back at part one of this thread, since july or so, and have almost finished catching up. 

and when you discover something that people used to do on the shard to hide text: it's called  making the text white. 

the way to reveal it is to highlight the posts.

it's really fun. especially because everyone wasted a lot of time looking for the hidden text.

[Ashertliden]

You know you're a sanderfan when you overhear someone talking about gold and you immediately think how sweet it'd be to be a gold twinborn.

[+Doomstick he/him]

 When you see white gold   And think Odium 

[Mistspren she/her]

When you start headcanoning characters in non-Brandon books as Hoid.

Spoiler

I'm telling you guys, Wilf has to be Hoid. He knows too much. (Chaos Walking Trilogy, by Patrick Ness. Great books, by the way.)

When you debate the best way to convince your band director to base next year's marching show off of the Kaladin soundtrack.

When you find yourself attributing random phenomena to Vax or the black sphere. (or both!)

[AonEne he/him]

The black sphere is on Vax. The black sphere is Vax. 

When discovering that a didgeridoo is a real instrument fills you with joy.

You... didn't know it was real? Pretty sure it's Australian. 

When you stay up later than you should writing for an RP (I still need to finish the letter KotC. Aghh!!!!)

I thought it was just something random from David's censoring.

I would love this. Of course, it'd have to be done in the air... with Lashings...

Wait, "next year's marching show"? You guys only have one a year?

Yeah, we do one ten minute show which we rehearse all marching season. We generally compete nationally, so it takes a lot of practice. You?

[Reckless Reader]

Well, we usually have four-ish, but this year we only have three. The first one is Mama Mia 

(So, of course, I'm gonna have Dancing Queen stuck in my head for the next month...)

What did yours turn out to be?

[Mistspren she/her]

This year it’s Playing with Fire. Mamma Mia sounds fun. Do you go to any competitions?
