#idk how to tag this exactly but whatever

OK, I can't find anything by myself so I'm opening this up to you all.

For my thesis, I'm looking for articles or books, ideally seminal or the basis of a school of thought, that deal with the reception of art by different audiences. I'm looking for something rather sociological, even anthropological, that examines how different types of art, aesthetics, movements, etc. are received, interpreted and negotiated by different audiences according to their characteristics (age, class, race, gender, place of residence, level of cultural, economic and educational capital, etc.). Basically, the reception theories of the Cultural Studies but applied specifically to art. So, idk, maybe art sociology? I tried to look that up but it's mostly on the artists and I need it on the public

If anyone knows of something, please let me know, I'm desperate lol (it can be in English, French or Spanish)

Thank you very much !!

since i thinkkkk this plan is no longer a possibility/something that can be leaked, i will post the clip of mapicc and minute revealing that ro was going to double agent for them bc i feel Unwell abt the fact that u can literally hear the smile in mapiccs voice when he says it .

transcription under the cut :D

Mapicc: Oh, and we have— wait can I tell him about our teammate? ...that's not our teammate.

Zam: Sure?

Minute: Oh, we do have someone in the inside who's going to help us get coordinates to point the jab shot at.

Zam: Who is he?

Mapicc: Roshambo.

Minute: [laughs]

Zam: Really?

Mapicc: Yeah.

Zam: How?

Mapicc: What do you mean how?

Zam: Do they trust Ro?

Minute: Man, this fucker always does shit to help Mapicc. Bro, what do you mean how?

Zam: No, how— does Mane trust Ro, in any way, shape, or form?

Mapicc: Oh, Pentar's going to ask him to join the team.

Minute: Oh okay, Pentar wants to do something with him, so. That's our in.

Zam: ...okay.

JGY ships? Okay hear me OUT! Xiyao is of course a classic, for so many good reasons, in all versions of canon. Episode 4 of the drama, the erotic hand fondling epic? Xichen catching his arms in a bow? All legendary shipper moments. BUT! I am here to tell you about a DIFFERENT A-Yao and a Lan ship, because surely you will have many people wax poetics about his interactions with Lan Xichen already, you don't need me for that.

I am here to tell you about the very overlooked JGY/LQR ship that has absolutely zero basis in canon so I'm just 100% making things up as if I'm drafting a fanfic that will be enjoyed by (1) person. Yes, Lan Qiren. Yes it's like me and one other person who ships this, but hear me out: JGY has a tendency to... gravitate towards older men with authority who COULD perhaps show him love and acceptance if he only works hard enough. He wants to be cherished! He wants someone to be proud of him! Tell him he did a good job! He is probably not actually aware of this, but I can tell. Don't ask me how I know just trust me I am an expert. So WHAT IF. JGY as Meng Yao, in either canon, got to go to the Cloud Recesses? Now I know he only does this in the drama, but like, who cares, as fan creators we can just put him wherever we wanna. SO. LQR is like, wow, we have ONE ENTIRE PERSON in this flock of youths who knows MANNERS and seems to LISTEN? he must stay. he will set a good example. (this does not work the way LQR thinks it will. again don't ask me how I know so much about this.) So sweet Hat Blorbo (only he doesn't have a hat yet, also I will defend that hat forever) now gets to live part of the dream: study! learn things! on a mountain!! So cool, what an opportunity! He is going to make the MOST of this, and is a natural teacher's pet because He Remembers Everything. He can answer every question! LQR is impressed, what an amazing student. He stays after class and radiates hunger for extra assignments. He asks insightful questions! He remembers every answer. He absolutely would love to know about additional recommended literature to delve deeper into subjects! And whoa. LQR... treats him like a normal student? that is meant to be there? like he might even be a person of worth? Highly erotic. LQR, who previously thought his one true love was the rock with all the Lan rules carved into it, is fascinated by Meng Yao's ability to actually remember all of them, in order. His eyes are so wide. He is so hungry for knowledge. Yes he would absolutely love some extra lessons about absolutely anything, everything. He reacts to praise like a flower turning towards the sun! There is probably a rule against excessive praise (and definitely a rule about seducing your students) but LQR just... wants... to praise this innocent young man who works so hard... who lights up when praised... and the rules does say to appreciate the good people...

Very confusing situation for the both of them. Does Meng Yao want to call him dad? or daddy? is he SO CLOSE to slipping up sometimes? probably. I'm thinking this has ALL sorts of tensions! Meng Yao can't act on it, because what would people say, he mustn't, and Lan Qiren is obviously bound by all the rules and he also Mustn't act on it, so their romance has to WAIT. And entire Cloud Recesses summer camp worth of held back longing! Oh, the tension! the agony of forbidden attraction! They cannot acknowledge this Thing while Meng Yao is his student!! They Want To Break This One Rule But Can't And That's So Hot etc

Also I think Meng Yao in particular might benefit from having a stern older man he wants to please by following a bunch of rules. maybe their whole society would benefit from Meng Yao wanting to follow some rules in particular.

Anyway this might not be your thing but I had fun with my deranged rant about how this could totally work! I hope you get tons of fun ship tips and have a good time. And I guess if all else fails, you can always draw him like one of them french girls!

never, in a million years, would i expect a passionate defense of JGY/LQR as a ship on my inbox. You, combination-nc on tumblr dot com, you are an Individual, you are above the restrictions of the sheeople, you are a true free thinker, you are the only mf in this hellsite i respect.

I'm not sure this ship is for me (though i have been one to indulge in a good teacher/student dynamic…) but after all that i can't say i don't SEE it. Maybe what Meng Yao needs to really be fixed is a loving daddy… it would be a first in his life.

tumblr moment

the tumblr shutdown situation is so bothersome because this is what. the 4th time now? but there may actually be some validity to it this time due to the significant layoffs.

i know automatic had plans on back ending tumblr to wordpress and then integrate with fediverse, but that seems far fetched now considering the circumstances. you need to be a lawyer to post on reddit with how absurd their subreddit rules are, instagram is hell, and twitter has no redeeming qualities. i like the search function on tumblr. i enjoy being able to find exactly what i reblogged in my archive. i like gifs and long, single posts.

every website has annoying users, but the tumblr flavour of annoying is more bearable than twitter’s, and no one here is spamming reaction images in the replies. i can post an essay over analysing a tcw scene and no one is posting that spongebob roller coaster gif.

anyway i’d go ahead and just post any fics/drabbles you’ve made to your ao3 now . also here is a picture of my cat, her name is korra and she is so so soft

Yes Hello to all my fellow Miss Lemon fans out there:

If you love her as much as I do, then 6.2 Hickory Dickory Dock is the episode for you

Now let us all just take a moment out of our busy day to bask in her glory:

That coat with those hats?? ICONIC she has such a flawless style

and this little scene where she's like 'this is just a quirk of Mr. Poirot's, don't worry about it' fellas help she's so cute

also HELP lads she took Poirot's comment about Inspector Japp's 'healthy appetite' way too literally!! LEMON SOLE! she's so funny aagh

Also she looks really damn good in burgundy wow

Also you know I hate the trope where guys tell ladies to take their glasses off and let their hair flow in the wind because they'd somehow be 'sexier' or whatever. That is just simply not true. Case in point: Look at how cute Miss Lemon is in her glasses!!

Just. Everyone just. Look at my favourite girl. Look at her!!! Her filing system is perfect! Her filing system could kick your ass!!!

[elizeshiro]

getting into fandom recently,,, by god is it scary!! lmao

(i don't mean this as hate to anyone/anything in particular i am just out n about exploring communities and By God it is terrifying someone come pick me up lmao)

[mothbeasts]

sometimes I wish I wasn't a hater over such stupid things but like. it all builds up and boils over and if I can't be a hater about stupid fandom drama I'm vaguely involved in I know it will actually ruin my life. c'est la vie.
