Masterpieceofass’s response to an evil anon comment sent to Quoting Austen. Genius.
landsbeyond asked: Cher and Josh aren't half-siblings. They're ex-step-siblings. As Cher says to her father, "You were barely even married to his mother."
warpedmelody asked: This blog is amazing! Definitely following!!
immahipsterandiknowit-deactivat asked: Hey! Not really a question but I just rewatched Clueless and I realized that Cher and Josh are half siblings, like how Emma and Knightley are cousins (gag every time I think of that). Weird related but not relationships continue into the 90s. Well played (haha it makes me lol)
favourandgrace asked: So I read the whole Persuasion post about gardens & shrubberies & those puns, and then later on I read that very same bit while I was waiting for a bus! I couldn't stop laughing for ages, so thank you for pointing it out! haha
greendale7 asked: I just creeped through 15 pages of your blog and I have to keep myself from bursting out laughing because I'm in class right now.. But this is just too hilarious. Seriously, your blog makes the world a better place! (:

Jane Austen loves those word art things that people do where they black out all the words except for a few and the ones that aren’t blacked out make a profound sentence.
Just kidding. She hates that shit.

detectivejane asked: Re: IT WAS IRONIC post-- Sometimes Jane Austen fans scare me. I recently started in a bookshop and keep coming across 'JA' sequels, mysteries and Canon-rippers. Every time I open to a random page and read a bit, to make sure of my theory. My theory survives: No author who attempts books in the style/using the characters of JA actually understands the tone or basic gist of her writing....
dear nitpicky janeites
i KNOW that the Sopa bill won’t REALLY block out Mr. Darcy’s nipples. I was being facetious about tumblr’s censorship scares. And even if Obama is going to veto, it doesn’t hurt to be active and sign the petition!
