You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

[Brightness Random she/her]

When you see an advertisement for sharbade and the only reason you realize that it's not a dueling team for shardbearers is that the description says it's a "fun, teambuilding scooter sport".

[gjustice99 she/her]

I think my English teacher might secretly be one of us because he keeps giving us vocab words that have to do with something Brandon has written.

First esoteric, then harbringers, now calamity

When someone makes a comment about spiking muffins, and the first thing you think of is the Dark Alley.

When someone makes a comment about spiking muffins, and the first thing you think of is the Dark Alley.

People talk about spiking muffins in other contexts??

[traceria she/her]

When the weather forecast is calling for freezing everything and you wonder, "Does that mean I'll be able to slide everywhere a la Lift?"

That's the first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions 'cookie'

When the weather forecast is calling for freezing everything and you wonder, "Does that mean I'll be able to slide everywhere a la Lift?"

 

No. It means that you'll be able to slide in one direction--backwards--whenever there's a dense, bum-bruising object or surface directly behind you. Not that I'm bitter or anything, of course.

 

On that note, you know you're a Sanderfan when you wish you could access the Well of Ascension just so you could accelerate global warming and put an early end to winter.

That is so true.  I think it would make an exception for sideways or forward sliding so long as the object/bruising surface is still a part of the equation.

Perhaps that is why the Lord Ruler did it, he couldn't stand Terris winters, so he just decided to kill Alendi so he could make a world of fire and ash, free from winter . . . and joy . . . and hope . . . and skiing!   NNNOOOOOO!!!

I'm pretty sure that when we do a Shardcon we'll need to have a Bake-off.

 

LET THE BEST SPIKE DESSERT WIN!

I'm always willing to eat baking. To check if it's poisoned obviously, well in this case Spiked.

[Xaladin he/him]

When you own a Mistcloak.

 

And wear it.

[18th Shard he/him]

When you hear the word Lifeless and immediately wonder what its command is.

When you repeatedly use Shards and Cosmere stuff in church and seminary. Just today, in fact, I mentioned Ruin and his shenanigans to my seminary teacher after class.

*Mormon power!*

 

Mmmmmm, when you've checked out Legion probably 15 times from the library so that you can reread it and have your family read it.

[SmurfAquamarineBodies he/him]

When your mother hands you a freshly baked cookie and you look at it in suspicion for a second, just in case.

This. So much. Every time, my friends. I am constantly comparing everything to the Cosmere.

 

Teacher: *important life lesson*

 

Me: "Oh! So it's like in Way of Kings when-"

[Sirce Luckwielder he/him]

I actually have given a couple of devotionals and talks where I have used things from the Cosmere as "evidence." The last one I gave I used the passage in my signature -and a summary of the rest of the chapter- about Dalinar and Kaladin. That scene was so awesome that I had to find a way to work it into a talk.

I've done this before When my friend and I were eating cookies I warned him that one may be spiked (He's read all the cosmere books)

[Flywinged he/him]

When it's cold outside and you blow air onto your scarf in the hopes that it will awaken.

Except that's a 17tH Shard thing XP

[Dankworth he/him]

When you read an erotic story and praise it for its character development. And then you read another erotic story and you start googling all the places mentioned and all the medical informations given to check if the worldbuilding is solid. And then you laugh for some character-driven humour. Yes, in an erotic story. And you realize you are probably the only guy among all those who read it who ever cared about that stuff.

Although in this case the cause-effect relation is inverted: it's not being a sanderfan than makes me do that, it's the care for that kind fo details that brought me to appreciate sanderson above all else.

 You are not alone; I've done that too. I never went so far as as to Google the information, but I always winced at the things that were obviously wrong, and there are a lot of those. I also mentally criticize the grammar and vocabulary in the stories.

This is one of the reasons I gave up reading those things; the constant mental editing kind of ruins the effect of the story and the writing is usually worse than that in the papers I edit for my classmates--some of whom should never have received passing scores in their basic writing courses.

When you see someone wearing a t-shirt that says "Spike Out Cancer" and your first thought is something like "Hmm, a spike charged with Feruchemical gold might work, but too be sure it should be paired with one charged with Allomantic gold." and then you are disappointed to realize that the shirt was about volleyball.

[18th Shard he/him]

When you make an exception to the Word of Wisdom for allomantic smoking

[Xaladin he/him]

When your friend that's a computer scientist is trying to explain monads to you, but every time he says "lift" your mind starts to wander...
