I think it’s funny when people roll their eyes about all the time Sanderson spends on clothes and fashion, as if it’s not an integral part of the world building and character development. I did my undergrad thesis on fashion semiotics in Mistborn (primarily using Roland Barthes) and there’s a direct correlation between how Vin is dressing and where she’s at on the hero’s journey, but in a way that doesn’t feel obvious at first. So it’s interesting to read Yumi and see how Sanderson is utilizing the language of fashion to explore these worlds and characters. The changing room scene with Akane is more than just a cute romcom scene, it’s about the process of discovery. Which is obvious but I can’t help harkening back to Barthes, who co-opts De Saussure’s thoughts on language for the use of fashion.

De Saussure identifies two aspects of language and communication: langue and parole. Langue is the rules of a particular language (subject verb order, for example) and parole is how an individual uses those rules to express themselves. Barthes applies this idea to fashion. We’re given these arbitrary rules of fashion (even as simple as “one must be dressed in public”) and from there we learn to work within the parameters of those rules to outwardly express ourselves. There’s a difference between your favorite pair of jeans and the pair of slacks you wear to work; there’s a difference between the dress you wear to a job interview and the dress you wear on a date where you’re trying to fuck.

The changing room scene is Yumi shotgunning the concepts of langue and parole all at once. She is learning new rules (you can have your shoulders bare) while learning how to express herself within the parameters of those rules (you can wear a dress with bare shoulders and still cover your shoulders with another garment). It’s cute and sweet but also important. She’s learning not just how to express herself but also that she’s allowed to. There’s nothing frivolous about how Sanderson uses and describes fashion. It’s a direct outgrowth of the journeys he sends his characters on.

I was very pleasantly surprised to see Ferrari's wild Daytona SP3 at Dream Show 2023. The SP1 and SP2 take inspiration from some of Ferrari's earliest roadsters, while this car takes inspiration from their classic prototype racers. Importantly for the purists, it is a very rare modern naturally-aspirated V-12 sports car.

They would be friends, I think.

As much as I love Yumi and the nightmare painter….

spoilers-

Kinda wish that Yumi died at the end.

look my grudge against her for having the upper hand on nikaro for like the whole book and being just flat out ignoring his wishes when he does basically everything she tells him to is not bad enough that I wish her death. More like a chip on the shoulder. Still love her. But idk… as much as I love not being destroyed by my books I did kinda feel weird abt that fake out death.

Nikaro and her needed the extra angst though, and it was the climax so I get it.

still love the book

[i-fucked-your-milkshake]
