You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

My friend was coming over and she was late, and my 10 year old brother (who's reading Alcatraz) said, "She's Grandpa Smedry!"  I have never been so proud.

When your skirt has pockets and you wonder if you can fit a mass-market paperback of AOL in one.

More like Rysn has some serious dough, amiright

When you realize that respelling Krispy Kreme as Crispy Crem makes it sound like an unhealthy fast-food place on Roshar.

...and you kinda wanna eat there.

Wow that´s amazing. I haven’t been able to get to Rithmatist yet, but seeing something like this in Desmos, which is similar to what we’ll have to do later this year for math class, based on the book makes me smile.

When you wonder how intense a game of Grog would get with Cosmere characters involved.

When you name tech after Cosmere things.

when you want to recover silver after an experiment with silver nitrate, out of a vague feeling that silver is important... but when you think of "uses for silver", the first thing that comes to mind is "wards against shades".

I've been in similar situations before when I'm just throwing Stormlight references all over class as examples.

When your mom tells you that the local game store had a Mistborn poster in the window.  It's gotta be the Mistborn RPG.  I wonder if the Stormlight Call to adventure will show up... I've been looking for it.

actually, it's more of a sexual innuendo variety. like saying underwear should be banned.

No one in the class knows Brandon Sanderson (shame, I know), so he just wrote it on the board.

You know, safehands aren’t actually meant to be sexual.

Just like hiding a safe hand it can become sexualised if it is always covered in public.

Ben McSweeney

Amusingly enough, not intended to be a sexual taboo, as it was written.

Fans did that all by themselves.

raltyinferno

I mean it was explicitly mentioned that whores in the Warcamps had their safe hands uncovered, or wore gloves with the fingers cut off.

Ben McSweeney

Something can be taboo, and signify taboo behavior, without it being explicitly about sex. I made a mention of lacy gloves being equivalent to lingerie at Brandon years ago, somewhere between WoK and WoR, and as I recall he told me, "Safehands are not a sex taboo".

But I kinda knew it would be like this, so... maybe he's seen my point. I haven't asked about it since then.

I don't recall as there's any scenes of Adolin's heart racing 'cause he got a glimpse of Shallan's fingertips. Dalinar doesn't wax on about Navani's knuckles. I might have missed it, but I feel fans have taken this much further than any Rosharan culture.

raltyinferno

He may not have initially intended for them to have been, but he certainly has pivoted that way, I don't recall the exact wording, but when Adolin walks in on Shallan, and when Shallan is talking to Tin about non-vorin cultures, she compares it to walking around naked, having her breasts out, and being in her underwear at various points.

Ben McSweeney

I will say that when we first talked about it, this predated stuff like safehandhub and every picture of a left hand getting an NSFV tag. It's possible that his view has changed over time as he sees what I saw then (because he is pure of heart, and I am... not). Even if it wasn't a sex thing, people will make it a sex thing.

[AonEne he/him]

When you dream that you're seeing a live-action play of WoR...it focused on Adolin and especially the duel, and I remember there being a lot of Shadolin/Shaladin/Kadolin/Shakadolin vibes. Also a side plot of Rlainarin. My mom, Rubix, and Chaos were watching with me for some reason
