joy is underrated as an artistic objective

I still wrestle with the catharsis of acting. I don’t end up playing a lot of likable characters, so I find myself living in a lot of unlikable skin. As a result of that I don’t always feel good. I get a lot more catharsis from taking pictures or painting or making short films. You have some control. I think all art—if it’s good—is a result of really trying to create something that you can’t put into words. Where language ends is where good art begins.

(rookie) BRYAN RUST started the concept of a winners room https://fanlore.org/wiki/Winner%27s_Room

LITERALLY HIS IMPACT?????

[devantesmithpelly]

SO i actually went and checked this because i was SURE i had read winner's room fic from earlier

and i was right!

this series by gdgdbaby started as a fill for this hrpf kinkmeme prompt which was posted nov 3rd 2015!!! so there are certainly earlier instances of winner's room as a concept. that being said, none of these works actually take place in a winner's room and they don't seem to use the actual phrase "winner's room" as a term within the text - Snickfic still gets the credit there!!!

(and if you were wondering the fill is noah hanifin/unspecified vet)

Coachplayer. Coach x player. Coach in a sexual relationship with player. Coach with dubiously ethical but indisputably intimate and perhaps even romantic ties to his favorite player. Reblog if you agree

[wintersmitth]

Leonid, you really understand it.

[alexaloraetheris]

Save me Leonid, from my empty Word document

[elodieunderglass]

Leonid what should I do about the emails

[letitrainathousandflames]

Babe are you okay? you reblogged Leonid Pasternak's Torments of Creative Work again

[magiccarpetman]

Leonid Pasternak is the best! My favorite of his is The Night Before The Exam (1895).
