A romance novel cover is NEVER a Spring. Get the idea out of your head now.

Lord of the Knight

Yellow tones will never make them look anything but jaundiced.

Lord of the Night — Connie Mason

There must have been some magic in that old machette they found

Season of glory

For when they sliced it through his neck, blood began to spurt around.

Season of Glory — Ron & Janet Benrey

Lone star surrender

Lone Star Surrender — Lisa Renee Jones

“Thar be whales here!” “What?!” “I said, thar be whales here!” “What?!” “I said… Oh, never mind.”

Words unspoken

“Beached whale.” Snort. Once you see the back cover you’ll understand:

Words unspoken 2

All she could do was hope that one day, their hearts would speak louder than any words could…” Good luck with that. The heart’s going to have to yell PRET-ty darn loud in order to get the hearing impaired guy’s attention.

Really, though… what’s up with that foot? Why would they put it there?

Someone found a copy of the script at the Smithsonian. No real spoilers and parts are crossed out, but someone DID say they saw this particular scene being filmed yesterday.

— The Wife

I KNEW SOMETHING LIKE THIS WAS GONNA HAPPEN. I JUST WISH SOMEBODY WOULD SNEAK INTO ONE OF TRAILERS AND STEAL A COPY OF THE WHOLE SCRIPT.
MAN, IF ONLY I WAS THERE…

Honestly, you probably don’t want that. I tried VERY hard not to get actual spoilers (these scenes honestly don’t show any actual plot line or real character interaction, which is why — out of the many pages — I chose them). But while I was flipping through the pages to find this, I did catch an unintentional spoiler. It’s not going to ruin the movie for me, but it’s something I would rather not have known.

— The Wife

You did right!
I mean, you did right choosing these pictures to upload instead of others -possibly much more *spoilery*.
There are TONS of people out there who -rightly so- don’t like spoilers at all. People who avoid even trailers and clips until the movie is finally out. And we all must respect their choice, choosing carefully what we publish for all people to see.

What I want, on the other hand, is different. I’m a spoiler-hunter. I actually ENJOY knowing things beforehand. I might be clinically insane, I know, but that’s who I am xDD

And I envy you, because I’d give ANYTHING to be able to flip through those pages and read -eat- every single word.

It doesn’t ruin the movie to me -it’ll always be different to see everything on screen- it actually gives me enormous satisfaction.

I’m crazy LOL Everyone around here knows it!

I’m like that with SOME things. And definitely if I think something is going to upset me. Like when Harry Potter 7 came out, given Rowling’s tendency to *kill everyone off* I made my husband read it first so that he could tell me whether I would be okay reading it or if it would piss me off.

And he tells me about movies all the time — but not the BIG ones. Meaning not when I actually care about it.

If you’d really, really, REALLY like a spoiler, I can PM you what I caught. And then you’ll know something no one else does. :D

— The Wife

Of course she’s willing. When you’re this deformed, you’ll take what you can get!

The Lady Most Willing

There is not a single part on her body that is properly proportioned. Not to mention that her neck is broken.

The Lady Most Willing — Julia Quinn, Eloisa James, Connie Brockway

She was one of the few who had ever seen his “Buy Blue Pants” tattoo.

Murphys law

But it was where he had inked “Eat Maine Potatoes” that was really quite impressive.

Murphy’s Law — Marilyn Pappano

Covers posts will be made tomorrow.

The Kids and I spent so much time on the set waiting for them to, then watching them film a scene with Chris Evans for Captain America 2: Winter Soldier, that I’m too exhausted to post tonight. I’ll do it in the morning. Or, you know, whatever morning is relative to whenever I wake up.

This is meant to be an “Anti-Possession” tattoo from the television show “Supernatural.” It’s supposed to be a pentagram in a flaming circle like the characters have. This person is, clearly, very concerned about Jewish Demons.
Submitted by Badromancenovelquotes

There’s nothing wrong with this! The line work is flawless the color is nice you just hate it because its a supernatural tattoo.

Uh, first, I submitted it because it is NOT WHAT IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE. A Star of David (also known as a six sided star and a Judaic symbol) is NOT the same as a pentagram (eg five sided star) for obvious reasons. The “Anti-Possession” tattoo from Supernatural is a five-pointed star inside the flaming circle, not a six-pointed star. First mistake.
Secondly, the flames are not the same as those in the anti-possession tattoo — the one from the show has the “tails” all facing the same direction. This one does not.
Third, the line work is most certainly NOT flawless. The points of the star are not even and though you can tell it’s relatively new, there is already some blow-out. Additionally, the flames are not fully filled in and the color is uneven.
Fourthly, I fucking love Supernatural. The reason I found this tattoo in the first place was because I was on the Supernatural wiki site and looking at fan tattoos. As a fan of the show, I can see how stupid this is. As a woman who could (though doesn’t) identify as Jewish, I find it freaking hysterical. Especially since Judaism does not embrace the concept of Hell, so Crowley wouldn’t be sending up some Demons to possess you, let alone Jewish demons, which is all this, in theory, would protect you from.
Are you sure that YOU aren’t just liking it solely because it’s a Supernatural themed tattoo??
— The Wife

I always thought the star looked like that and no I reblogged it because it looked flawless and I have an issue with people submitting things that don’t appear to look bad just because they don’t like what it represents.

If you look at the text of the submission, I linked to a photo of what the tattoo is SUPPOSED to look like. You can click on that link, or maybe this picture would help:

If someone’s gonna get a tattoo based on a specific and existing design, they should at least get it RIGHT! If this were text, it would say “no regerts” because that’s a pretty glaring mistake.
If I hadn’t found it on a Supernatural site, I’m not sure I’d even know what it was supposed to be! And THAT is the very definition of a bad tattoo.
— The Wife

I didn’t see the link,I apologize. I guess I really never paid attention to that detail. Sorry.

Wait, wait, wait! You watch the show but *don’t pay attention to their chests???* Is that possible??? If nothing else, watching the show for the eye candy is enough!
For me, seeing that tattoo is almost painful. For all the reasons I mentioned already, and also because if this girl was *so much a fan* that she wanted to permanently emblazon her body with a reference to it, WHY WOULDN’T SHE MAKE SURE IT’S RIGHT??? You can be forgiven not remembering that detail. Because you’re not *permanently affixing it to your body!* And then, worst of all, submitting it to a Supernatural fan page to show it off.

Posting to the covers blog, because everyone should see/hear it!

Uncle Walter follower knot-in-the-coffin has adapted skadi-of-the-north’s brilliant romance story to a Dramatic Reading!

Captain McLargeHuge gripped her pert bum-bum and pulled her body nearer to his wangle-dangle. “I want you,” He breathed, grinding his proud and straining wee-wee against her meat flower, with nothing but the superfine wool gabardine of his trousers between him and his prize. Lady Rambunctia reached down and gripped his tinky-wee-willy, and the Captain groaned. “Yes,” she said, lust clogging her throat like peanut butter on the roof of a dog’s mouth. “Touch my girly parts.””

You may remember Knot-in-the-coffin as the author of the Uncle Walter/WTFFanfiction fic!

WTFFanfiction looked into Uncle Walter’s eyes. S/he could get lost in them for eternity. “You are more precious to me than any slash fanfic,” WTF said, voice trembling. “Take me! Take me as Castiel took Dean in that one fanfiction, as Gamzee took Karkat, as Draco took Harry (but not how Iron Man took Black Widow or Naruto took Tsunade and DEFINITELY not how Terezi took Jade ‘cause this is fanfiction and girls don’t exist in fanfiction unless in certain circumstances which may be explained in like 30 seconds. But maybe how Naruto took that cup of ramen that one time ‘cause that was kind of hot even though WTFFanfiction was probably not a cup of noodles).” “But WTF,” Uncle Walter faltered, “What about The Wife? I’m not sure…” For Uncle Walter’s wife was a pillar of his tumblog, and surely there was no way she would condone his gallivanting with, of all things, Fanfiction! “Then take her too,” WTF said, for a threesome was the only appropriate use of a woman in fanfiction unless is was for the spreading of sexist caricatures or abuse of her character for the sake of getting two men who are portrayed as straight in canon to have beautiful buttsecks. WTF, being of undetermined sex, may or may not have been an exception to this rule. And so Uncle Walter’s Bad Romance Novel Quotes and The Wife and WTFFanfiction laid together and took turns and shared terrible quotes from terrible porn scenes in terrible novels and terrible fanfictions. And everything was terrible except for the sex.”
