You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

When your favorite part of a camping trip is the drive because you get uninterrupted reading time.

So much yes. I am eternally grateful that I don't get carsick reading.

When in the Lego Movie when

Loved business cuts off vetrivius's head with a coin, all you can think about is that Lord business must be a coinshot

[gjustice99 she/her]

When you're on a cruise and they play "Don't Stop Believin'" and all you can think about is Journey before destination

When you watch Underworld and all you can think about is how the girl who plays Selene would be perfect as Vin

Just put in my order for the mistborn hoodie :D  Can't wait for it to get here. Although as there wasn't much info on what the size and material is I might need to exchange, find out later I suppose.

Someone actually made a fan trailer for Mistborn a couple years ago that was so good Brandon posted a link to it on his blog and it used scenes from there.

When you immediately start reading his latest book after getting pulled over for a ticket.

When your favorite part of a camping trip is the drive because you get uninterrupted reading time.

This is precisely why I love commuting to work on the subway: a full hour every day of reading Brandon's books...over and over and over again (however, I'm now reading Gardens of the Moon while also intermittently reading the Hero of Ages). 

 

When you go to your mother's house for Easter and the first thing out of her mouth (instead of a hello even!) in a dejected voice was that she can't get a copy of Elantris from her local library. My response: gifting her my e-book version then and there.

When...

 

The Lopen tried so many times to suck in Stormlight, which he obviously would never have access to.

But then it worked.

 

Maybe if I keep trying ... (don't ask where I got the infused spheres from)

[Mistrunner]

When you and a friend are talking about Ice Inquisitor Olaf and she suddenly bursts out with "Does that mean Elsa is Ruin?!" leading to an in-depth discussion of what Mistborn characters Frozen characters would be.

 

When one of your posts gets a "popular" star and you feel like you've won an Olympic medal.

[Dankworth he/him]

When a survey asks for your religion and you put "Church of the Stick."

[Mistrunner]

When you realize the reason you don't like Game of Thrones (all you fans, don't kill me!) is because they're always saying "winter is coming", and foretelling the future is not of Honor.

Did you really do that? That's amazing. I actually converted someone to the Church of the Stick. They have never read a novel other than Mistborn and have no idea what I am talking about, but they think it's cool anyway.

[Xaladin he/him]

When you read about ancient peoples using darts, and your mind wanders for a few minutes thinking about Mraize...

 

And you realize Shallan was probably not in a whole lot of danger when Mraize was shooting darts near her (see the post-WOR Jasnah scene)

[connormce10 he/him]

When you decide to rewrite Godwin's Law for the 17th Shard because it's the only place you participate in online discussions.

 

Original Godwin's Law:

"As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1."

 

My 17th Shard version:

"As a 17th Shard thread grows longer, the probability of an unnecessary reference to the Stick approaches 1."

 

Of course Nazi references do pop up on here, but not very often, and very rarely in the sense which Godwin originally meant.

 

Heil Nazi Stick!

[connormce10 he/him]

they would undoubtedly bond over their mutual love of flying and hate of nobles.

 

Also, they would frown upon lighteyes

[Mistrunner]

When you worry a little too much over whether Kaladin would hate you because you're a lighteyes.

[Mistrunner]

When you start posting a half-billion posts everywhere at 11:00 PM and become depressed that no one responds or upvotes. There are people from other time zones here, right? RIGHT?

[Mistrunner]

When depression sets in when you realize you would be a terrible Rithmatist.

Yes, it was an online university survey about discrimination on campus; in the "Religion" section I checked "Other" and typed Church of the Stick in the explanation box. The next page asked if I had ever received unfair treatment for religious reasons, and my first thought was "There have been times when a poorly placed mention of the holy Stick meant an immediate shower of downvotes..." and you certainly get strange looks when someone is trying to make you change your mind and you reply "I am a stick."

This made my day.

In any case, you know you're a Sanderfan when you lend your nice copy of Mistborn out, and then you start to feel nervous. Did I judge this guy's character well? How will he treat my book? Will I ever see my book? We never know.

When you start drawing love Aons in front of a certain someone.

Not gonna lie, I was tempted to do that on my crush's birthday card.

I figured he'd like Ashe better, so I did that instead.

On the bright side, buying the book a second time means getting Brandon just a little more money.

When reading this makes you want to compose a poem in Aons using their symbolic meanings to convey emotion...and all those vowels just sound nice. Then you realize what a project that would be, and decide to do it over the summer...maybe...possibly...OK, I'll have forgotten by then. -Sigh-

[king of nowhere]

when you think that's sweet.

I don't remember the aons by memory (not sanderfan enough for that), but if a girl attempted that on me, and i recognized she's drawing aons, and recognized the one she's drawing when consuulting my copy of elantris, then there's a good chance I'd reciprocate her just for that.
