You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

Rand’s crush on Egwene is, so far, a joke; I have seen literally zero bonding moments between the two of them, they either vaguely agonize over the other’s safety or are blushing, embarrassed about an interest that seems to be based on nothing, since they don’t think about what they like about each other. I think Rand admires her beauty at one point, but that being the only thing I can think of is not good. There is one moment when he worries about her becoming an Aes Sedai, but it read like a shallow worry that wasn’t much dwelled on. I could sum up the plot in two sentences, and I’m like halfway through the book. That is a bad sign. The dream attacks aren’t explained well and also came out of nowhere. 

 

that's 100% purposeful for later in the series.

Mat is a whiny jerk who either is easily completely wiped out by a spell on a knife or has a personality that’s a mixture between actual bully and uncaring fool. There wasn’t much character depth or development given to Thom, except for a haphazard paragraph thrown in five minutes before his death, which is laughably unclear because RJ doesn’t know how to do drama, I guess. Also his old-timey writing style annoys me, I don’t like those.

mat gets better, WAY better

I agree with you for the first and third books, and kinda on the second. After that it gets a LOT better, making it worth it, even with the boredom of the others.

That, at least, is intentional. The reader is supposed to realize that perhaps there isn't as much there romantically as both of them seem to think.

Thank goodness, because if he’d actually tried to seriously write that the shipper in me would’ve had to rebel. 

Yep, I keep hearing I’ve just gotta Stick it out. (YKYASW you’re typing something completely unrelated and your autocorrect won’t stop capitalizing Stick XD) I haven’t touched EOTW in months though, there’s so much better content that I actually want to read...

EDIT: 3 is the good one, 4 is bad again

Nope. It is a mnemonic. R-Wah-Bie *Rubby*

YKYASFW you are in Calc, doing logarithms/natural logs, and you keep hearing Elend, instead of ln.

Also in science, you look up the the side effects of eating metals...

[The Awakened Salad they/them]

When this one time you ate gold, you tried to burn it on the slim chance you were a misting.

When you try to explain a chemistry topic to a friend using Realmatic terms instead of real world comparisons...

Possibly [the] most awkward moment in my life.

Edited November 16, 2019 by SirWolfe
sounded klunky

[Guest Coda]

When you carve Aons into limestone and set it on fire to make a Soulstamp

When someone tells you to pray for your soul so you put earrings in

When you see a stick and tell it to change

When you go outside in the storm to change forms

When you offer your friends cookies to spike them and steal their powers(looking at you, DA)

When you tell your friends to say, "My life to yours, my Breath become yours."

When you make bracelets out of paperclips to store speed

When you give your friends the trapper rite of passage when they fall for a scam

When you eat spiked cookies to gain Hemalurgic powers but it was the other meaning of spiked(this didn't really happen)

[Bookish Ocelot she/her]

YKYASFW...

you apologize for wrong number texts by saying that you had your earrings in when you sent them

you hear 'spiked' (insert food) and wonder why someone would want to give food superpowers, before realizing that's not what they meant

someone asks you for book reccomendations and you wordlessly hand them a list of branderbooks

you draw aons in your notebooks when you're bored

you have alethi glyphs doodled on everything you own

[TheGirlWhoLookedUp she/her]

YKYASFW you silently laugh at people complaining of the “really long” books they read in class.

[Darth Woodrack he/him]

You know you’re a sanderfan when you went around on Halloween as a Steel Inquisitor and whenever you were asked what it was you said, “It’s from a book by Brandon Sanderson, you should read it! Remember Brandon Sanderson,” while your fellow sanderfan friend pulls you away laughing.

Good work, my friend! *salutes*

I bring you another story that was created in the early morning. @Little Bear and I have a lot of fun thinking these up. This one was actually from last year, but I wrote it down and I found it just a little bit ago. Please enjoy, I do think it's a rather accurately Kelsier thing to happen.  Keep in mind, this was not created in a sane brain. 

Kelsier marches down the stairs wearing a bubblegum pink bathrobe. There is a green face rub on his cheeks and a few curlers in his hair. "Dockson!" he says. "Where are my cookies?!"

Dox looks up. "Kell, were you dying your hair?"

"No," he scoffs, folding his arms indignantly. "I was bleaching it!"

500 pages is nothing to me.

[Darth Woodrack he/him]

That’s a one day read, if it’s a good book. 900 pages takes two days if I’m reading it regularly.

YKYASW when you misread Staff as Straff. When you are disappointed in the fact that you lost a competition you had very little chance of winning. (@everyone) When you are mildly disappointed in @Shard of Thought for not reading Alcatraz sooner, then misspelling it in her post. Come on SoT!

Speaking of Straff, did you know that it means "punishment" in Dutch?

I know, I know... I have an excuse though! Our library doesn't have paper copies, so we had to listen to it.  (the reader was amazing)

[Ghanderflaffle she/her]

I listened to part of it the first time, then finally started reading it myself. I was a young child of like 10. That was somehow almost 5 years ago.
