Steamy Saturday

"A private nurse learns the truth about men!"

"A nurse's job is to pamper and please men. . . . But Kay Taylor was too beautiful, too inflammable herself, to soothe any man. . . ."

"Kay needed pampering herself, and as a private nurse, she was able to find it, with the husband of one patient and the sweetheart of another. . . ."

The premise for Wayward Nurse, a Venus Books publication, "first with the best in original love fiction," published by Star Guidance, Inc. in 1953, is about as steamy as it gets. Kay Taylor, a confused and love-hungry private nurse for wealthy clients, plows through one train-wreck romance after another until finally ending up with Mike, "for all her life," on a boat that is apparently being followed by a shark (a metaphor, no doubt) -- "And on creaked the mast, on gurgled the great, undulant, golden sea. . . ." (another suggestive metaphor).

Wayward Nurse, first published in 1952 by another pulp publisher Cameo Books, was written by Norman Bligh, one of the many the pseudonyms of the ultra-prolific pulp novelist William Arthur Neubauer (1916-1982). We think the cover art by noted American magazine and pulp-cover artist Rudolph Belarski (1900-1983) is perhaps the second most provocative cover in our nurse romance collection of over 500 titles. The most provocative will be presented in coming weeks, so stay tuned. And we are just tickled that the publisher made the effort to mention that the highly provocative (for the early 1950s) photograph on the back cover of a couple in their swimsuits (or is it their underwear!) was "Specially posed by professional models" -- as if to say, no nurses were harmed in the making of this photograph. Delightful!

CROWLEY SSR THOUGHTS

there is zero basis for this, but I can't get this thought of my head

I don't know why I decided to draw it this way

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers #(these will be relevant in a moment)#this isn't going to happen. but WHAT IF.#anyway i didn't get him (damnit birdman come home) so i had to look up his story #and let me tell you friends my findings were SHOCKING #crowley canonically likes vegetables which means that the crowley is revaan theory = BUSTED #crowley is sailor venus = CONFIRMED #(i know 'whip of love' is a saying but that's where my mind always goes)#DISCLAIMER: this is (mostly) a joke please continue to hold whatever theories and headcanons you want #but look. c'mon. look over here at this whiteboard i've covered in red yarn.#revaan being a picky eater has come up multiple times and there is an entire whole bit about how much he hated jerky and refused to eat it #and now they've made a point of talking about how crowley will eat almost anything and loOoOoves wild game meat especially #it's SO stupid but i can't help but read way too much into it #(this is tumblr if you don't want to see incredibly stupid overanalysis of anime guys then why are you HERE)#and i gotta hold on to something because otherwise whenever malleus and crowley are onscreen together i just keep going 'same hair color...#unless this is like. some kind of deep cover thing.#lilia doesn't recognize him because he saw him eat a green bean once and revaan would NEVER #crowley's secret is safe for another day #(serious hat on: i do think they're probably connected in some way)#(but there's something deeper going on that we're just not clued into yet that will hopefully explain things)#man forget revaan what if crowley whips off his mask and it turns out he was meleanor this whole time #wait hold on meleanor loves jerky.

Love how the older male characters in Twisted Wonderland have different physical features in the game. They fit with their style and personality in the game.

Vil’s father is exactly like how I envision him to look like.

Roman Goddesses

Roman mythology features a pantheon of gods and goddesses, each with their own unique roles, personalities, and stories. Here are some Roman goddesses:

Juno: Juno was the queen of the gods and the goddess of marriage, childbirth, and women. She was known for her fierce protectiveness of women and her ability to bestow fertility and prosperity.

Venus: Venus was the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility. She was associated with desire, sensuality, and pleasure, and was often depicted as a seductress.

Minerva: Minerva was the goddess of wisdom, art, and war. She was associated with strategic thinking, creativity, and skill in battle.

Diana: Diana was the goddess of the hunt and the moon. She was a protector of women, animals, and nature, and was known for her independence and fierce determination.

Vesta: Vesta was the goddess of the hearth and home. She was associated with domestic life, family, and hospitality, and was honored with a perpetual fire that burned in her temple in Rome.

Ceres: Ceres was the goddess of agriculture and grain. She was associated with fertility, abundance, and the cycles of nature.

Proserpina: Proserpina was the goddess of the underworld and the wife of Pluto. She was associated with the cycles of life and death, and was a symbol of rebirth and transformation.

These are just a few of the many goddesses in Roman mythology.
