You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

[Sirce Luckwielder he/him]

I've also had someone extremely disappointed that he guessed the ending: that Alendi was TLR

Did they also guess that Vin was the Hero of Ages?

When you see an ad for a clothing store with the caption "Awaken Your Wardrobe", and can't stop giggling about it.

When you see an ad for a clothing store with the caption "Awaken Your Wardrobe", and can't stop giggling about it.

 

"Style that'll take your Breath away."

 

"We're the highest Heightening of fashion."

 

"All our customers Return for more quality service."

 

"Tired of Lifeless fashion? Invest in our assortment of suits and dresses."

 

"Don't be Drab. Check out our variety of colorful clothing options."

 

"Wear Nal-this; look totally distinct from Nal-them."

[Nicroburst he/him]

When you begin to add sule to the end of sentences addressing friends. Kolo?

 

You also know you're a Sanderson fan when you end sentences with kolo, sule.

[Blaze1616 he/him]

When a minor character in a Sanderson book has the same name as you, spelling and all, and you have to take a few minutes to compose yourself, even though you know it's not named after you.

 

I'm in the Reckonerverse, and my name's not David or Megan! Heck yeah for mildly uncommon names!

[Nicroburst he/him]

When you walk into a workshop and the pile of iron filings is a tempting meal.

[gjustice99 she/her]

When, whenever your class plays kahoot you figure out your username by clicking "random page" on coppermind

When your article of the week is about a revolution and it's after effects and your teacher says you can connect it to fiction, you think about connecting it to Mistborn

When you don't trust any superheros anymore.

[Delightful]

Did they also guess that Vin was the Hero of Ages?

No, he wasn't that far in and then I think he finished WoA and HoA pretty quickly.

When a character says "I'll be a heartbeat away" and you think "or ten..."

[Queen Elsa Steelheart she/her]

When the highlight of your day is that your friend finally lets you borrow his copy of Firefight to read

[Nicroburst he/him]

When you're asked if you're a metal fan and you reply "Yeah, I like pretty much everything except Hemalurgy, its too agressive for me"

[the Gleeman he/him]

When every assignment you have done for the past 3 years is covered in assorted drawings of aons, shardblades, and/or chalkling defenses. (oh yes and cookie recipes )

[Surgebound Rainspren he/him]

When you doodle Vin on all of your math assignments. I think my teacher's kind of bored of those now. And I mean all of them. 

Oh trust me my maths teacher is WAY more bored of the hundreds of Aons I doodle instead of notes.

[Brightness Random she/her]

I've just started leaving separate pages for all my doodles... I'm partial to drawing wolfhounds everywhere, as TenSoon is one of my favorite characters, and the people of Roshar are also residents in my notebooks. Not to mention my recent obsession with writing in High Imperial. The other day I found the message "Wasing the want of sleep. Ever ising the potent lack." in one of my school notebooks that I'd forgotten I'd written at some point. 

 

You know you're a Sanderfan when you get a splinter and you think it's hilarious. (When people ask why you're laughing you say, "I have a Splinter!" or "I've been Splintered!")

 

Also, when a friend tells you their orchestra is working on a song called "Brandenburg Concerto #3" but you hear "Brandonburg Concerto #3" and assume it's written as an anthem for the 17th Shard because that's clearly what Bach would have meant by "Brandonburg". It's the abbreviation of "Brandon-Sandersonburg".

 

 

EDIT: Hooray for my first popular post!

I love the Mistborn symbols and used to draw them in my notes until someone looked over and asked if I was a communist.

[Nicroburst he/him]

When your friends dream about finding special edition copies of Sanderson books for you....I've known this girl a month

[bookspren]

When you're scrubbing floors and wish you could Awaken the brush to do it for you. That would probably be a difficult command though.

[Kobold King he/him]

"No, I swear I'm not a communist! These are just symbols from my favorite book. It's about a guy who overthrows a society ruled by a rich aristocracy who are violently oppressing a segregated lower class. He achieves his goals by assassinating noblemen and rallying the common people to revolt!"

 

"..."

 

"...Oh rust."

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

When you buy Tomb Raider because the Trailer talks about becoming a Survivor.

 

EDIT: And when you feel more guilty for neglecting Your 17th Shard friends than you do for neglecting your RL friends.

It could also be pretty dangerous if you managed to do so. Does anyone of you remember "The sorcerer's apprentice" form Fantasia?

[Mckeedee123 he/him]

"The blade brush sprayed a wave of black liquid as Vasher scrubbed with it. The liquid dissolved into smoke before touching walls or floor, like water in an oven. Smoke twisted, some rising from the brush, some falling in a stream to the floor, dripping like black blood.

 

"'SCRUB!' Nightbrush’s voice boomed in his head. 'The floors must be SCRUBBED!' Pain shot up Vasher’s arm, and he felt his Breath being leached away, sucked into the brush, fueling its hunger. Using the brush had a terrible cost. At that moment, he didn't really care. He crawled toward the stains and—enraged—scrubbed them.

 

"Each stain he scrubbed with the brush immediately flashed and became smoke. A single sweep and the stains dissolved like paper being consumed by an invisible fire. Vasher crawled among them, scrubbing with wrath, cleaning stain after stain. Black smoke churned around him, and his arm twisted with pain as veinlike tendrils climbed up the brush and around his forearm—like black blood vessels that latched on to his skin, feeding off his Breath.

 

"He cried out, arm shaking. 'SCRUB . . . FLOORS . . .' Nightbrush said in his mind, all lightness gone from the tone, all familiarity. It boomed like a command. An awful, inhuman thing. The longer Vasher held the brush, the faster it drained his Breath.

 

"'SCRUB... FLOORS!'"

YES. YES.

Nightbrush for the win!

 

Yeah, I basically just copy/pasted that from the Floorbreaker e-book.

 

EDIT: Bad pun. Terrible pun. Don't look at this.

Floorbreaker gives me life. I had to get up at 5am, so thank you for that.

You know you're a Sanderson fan when someone types "BS" and you assume they mean Sanderson, when in fact they mean bull rust.

"How dare you use the name of the Bandersnatch in vain!"

 

"Uh... what?"

 

"I am offend! I am offend!"

 

"Dude, seriously. Chill."
