You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

[Morningtide she/her]

YKYASFW Someone points out that English just stole most of its words from other languages and your first thought is "Oh! Wayne should speak English instead of Scadrian because he likes stealing language/accents!"

This actually just happened. I only barely stopped myself from pointing it out out loud. (The other person in question is not a Sanderfan and so would not appreciate my wonderful references)

Isn’t that how all languages are?

Yep, and now an intresting thing is that languages that English stole from, are now stealing from English.

[+Doomstick he/him]

Also conlangs, conlangs are interesting 

[Morningtide she/her]

Yes. Language in general is fascinating. Which makes me admire Brandon more when he comes up with words and names out of his head. 

Haha. I guess when this is my first thought, I know I'm a sanderfan.

[+Doomstick he/him]

I think it would be really cool if someone actually made a language out of one of his

not a distinct language, just slang (see tFE)

YKYASFW you're in English class and scoffing at all of the examples the teacher gives for foreshadowing because Brandon is the king of foreshadowing. 

[king of nowhere]

i was teaching when i heard one of my students call another a cretin.

"but teacher, he deserved it. he was talking and disturbing"

"well, i could never insult one of you students"

pause while i realize the implication

"did any of you guys ever read the stormlight archive?" [none of them has. not many people know sanderson in italy]

"well, it's this fantasy book where there is a king who keeps a wit to insult the other nobles. because the king could not afford to insult the nobles, it would be inappropriate for his role. so he has the wit to do it for him. perhaps you could be my wit"

[Mage he/him]

When you refuse to mosh at school dances because it sounds too much like Moash

When you are watching Dune and keep accidentally calling the Fremen 'Aiel' in your head.

[Shinwarrior]

This has probably happened to others but YKYASFW after mistborn you read the whole wheel of time series just get the sanderlanche 

[Robin Sedai she/her]

Wouldn't that be more "You Know You're a Jordan fan"?

When you're on this site at all.

[AonEne he/him]

When you do excited, nervous bounces every time you think about the approaching con. 

[Ironwill2112 he/him]

When you subconsciously imagine thunderclasts bursting out of passing mountains. Or When you look out the window and see glowing Radiants flying through the sky. (Its usually Szeth and Kal for me )

Quote

 

When you type a V into you texting and the first suggestion is Vorin.

[Shard of Reading he/him]

When you're known at school for wearing a bunch of incomprehensible T-Shirts that no one understands. (They are all sanderson related.)

[Robin Sedai she/her]

When you jump from a high place with your jacket billowing around you and feel like a Mistborn.

[NameIess]

YKYASFW you get a book for Christmas and finish it on Christmas again. 

[#1 Taln Fan he/him]

YKYASFW when the only thing you’re asking for for your birthday are the other two Mistborn leatherbounds

Or when you finish an entire trilogy the day after Christmas because you didn't have time to read on Christmas day. 

(no this totally didn't happen to me and no my arms are not cramping from holding books for hours)

[Szeth Pancakes he/they]

When you don’t need to look up the order of the Great Houses to see who goes first in Mistborn: House War.

(For context, the person who goes first is determined by their House’s ranking in the books. So, House Venture first, House Hasting second, House Elariel third, and so on)

[Tarmogoyf]

YKYASFW you decide to name your car Vroomslug

[Thaidakar the Ghostblood he/him]

When you are at a park and you start calling people, Roomslug, Boomslug, Gloomslug and the like. (He Who Wears Pants and She Who Has Attitude also came up)
