You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

When your autocorrect recognizes words such as... perpendicularity

Perpendicularity is a real word

[GoWibble he/him]

As is Investiture, Vessel,. Shard, 17th, 16, Ambition, Devotion, Odium, etc.

It's more of when you add words to your Google dictionary like "metalmind" and all of it's derivatives

[Chinkoln he/him]

Those were the words I thought of while waiting for school to be over. Now that I have had some more time to think:

Feruchemy, Allomancy, Hemalurgy, Thaidakar, Sazed, Szeth, Rashek, Stormlight, Stormfather, Dysian Aimian

Also, I know that perpendicular is a real word, but I don’t think perpendicularity is a real word. A small change, but autocorrect loves to do small changes.

Perpendicularity is a real word, it means the state of being perpendicular. As in, the hands of a clock are in perpendicularity at exactly 3 and 9 o'clock. It is also used in engineering/design as a type of tolerance. For example, the perpendicularity tolerance of the corner join on this cake form is half a degree.

Nice

[Spren of Kindness she/her]

When you say motifs connect things in English class, and in your head, the C is capitalized.

[Quivil]

When you have to give a presentation on something that's important to you and you pick Elantris.

Then loan your teacher the book.

Well played, Well played

[BenduLuke he/him]

When you spend hundreds of pages arguing fantasy war contests and physics in the Cosmere and refuse to let the subject die even if others tell you that your wrong much of the time.

[Liahona]

When you spend a half hour going through all of Brandon's books on Goodreads and adding them as to-reads or giving them ratings and consider it a wonderful use of your time.

In addition, when every video game animal you catch/tame/unlock is named after the cosmere in some way, sometimes without realizing it. (For example, naming one of your horses in Breath of the Wild "Amara" and realizing weeks later you accidently named a line of code after Amaram and mentally smack yourself.)

[Tesh Any pronouns]

When you get your entire family hooked on Skyward. Everyone from your brother who's in elementary school to your parents. (Both of my parents have also tried the Cosmere, but they didn't enjoy it too much.)

That's impossible.

[Chinkoln he/him]

When you have made so many Cosmere memes that you can identify a good template for almost any comment you see.

[Szeth Pancakes he/they]

When it's foggy out, and you're tempted to say "the mists are out today!"

[Quivil]

When you're doing econ HW and have to write out the graph axis names and you write "real gross domestic product" and think of 1) what Wit would say about that and 2) what Lightsong said to that other Returned about not wanting to hear any secrets involving him (the other Returned, not Lightsong) and a privy.

 

When the red squiggly lines under Cosmere words no longer bother you. Mostly.

[Szeth Pancakes he/they]

When you’re listening to the song “Brown-Eyed Girl” and you expect it to go “Youuuu’re my darkeyed girl”

[Use the Falchion]

When you get excited about the prospect of YouTubers who are only tangentially related to Sanderson's content at best somehow discovering it and talking about it. 

[Szeth Pancakes he/they]

When you hear about pans with aluminum cores, and all you can think is that your food will be protected from any kind of Investiture use.

[Eluvianii he/him]

When you dream that you're reading SA, and see Hrathen going out on a trip to help a Stormblessed. I know that makes no sense but the worst part is that I was aware of it, and was waiting to read the clever explanation. 

[Quivil]

When you hear there's a metallurgist in the ward and want to talk to her because... well, metallurgy!

You know your sister's a sanderfan when you say (speaking of a pond) "It's misting." and she says "What metal does it have?"

Yes, that was a Studio C reference.

Considering the post you quoted was from 6 years ago, they are too.

Don't worry, most of us have done that at some point.

Some of us have done it three times

When you see mists out during the day and expect to have a seizure and be sick for 16 days
