True Blood Season 5: Conjuring Up Trailer #2 (via @EricSookieLover)
For tonight’s (Day 16) fangalicious Fang-A-Thon 2012 post, I thought I’d share two True Blood promo videos which aired tonight on HBO! One is a brand new fangalicious trailer – the other is a recap of Season 4 with the cast of True Blood!
This first videos is the new trailer, featuring new scenes from season 5! Watch it below!
The second is “Conjuring Up Season 4″, where the cast of True Blood take a walk down memory lane of season 4! Find out what they said below!
Here’s a couple of screencaps from some of the new scenes in the first video!
While Season 4 had a lot of WTF moments in it, I did find it interesting to see what the cast had to say about it. Plus, Alex was looking particularly YUMMY in the video, and Anna was looking beautiful as well!
As for the new scenes in the Season 5 trailer; I’m not sure what to say. I think I’ll have to watch it again…and again…and again to form some thoughts! Don’t worry, Evie will be sure to write an analysis as soon as she can!
What are your thoughts? Feel free to share them below!

Crossover characters? (via @LuvBONESnTBlood)
Caught some old episodes today from Buffy and Angel. It made me start to think if a character from one of those shows came to Louisiana to cause trouble or to ally themselves who would I want? Well know I wouldn’t want Buffy unless it was that she was coming to get rid of some vamps and Sookie takes her down protecting her vampires! No Angel ’cause that would cause distraction! 
now Spike would be fun he could drive Bill crazy causing trouble…Wes would have been great for research but he’s dead! I think Willow would be great for Pam! And being a powerful witch would be great for them to have!
Has anyone thought that???
- Buffy
- Willow the Witch
- Spike
- Wesley
Instead of a quote I decided to use the scene with Sam talking to Dean the dog about Buffy:
The Sam dog runs up to … Sam. Huh. He’s reading the paper, and opening up in a way he said he never would: “What’s up, my brother? …Oh hell, Starbucks coming to Marthaville.” He asks the dog how long until he breaks down and buys “a goddamn cappuccino machine,” then admits that more than a Starbucks, what he wish would come to town is: Buffy, ”Or Blade. Or any one of those badass vampire killers, to take care of Mr. Compton. That’s what I wish.” He laughs at the dog, who could give a damn and throws the ball for the dog; they chase it together.
The Dangers Of Excessive Glamouring (via @QueenFaeMab)
Listen up vampires, it’s time to discuss glamouring. I realize that you vamps use it to obtain a meal or for vital information, but there should be a cap on how many times one can be brainwashed like the MIB do with their Neutralizers. A prime example is a human waitress who works for Eric and Pam at Fangtasia. This poor crazy blonde has had her memory erased so many times she doesn’t know whether she’s coming or going. She’s either screaming bloody murder louder than Jamie Lee Curtis or making peanut butter and butter sandwiches. *shudders* I’d hate to see the day she’s turned into a vampire. Sheesh!
Fang Night 16 :) (via @FangbangerEst89)
sorry ya’ll i swear sometimes i’m losing my days lol.
I know this isn’t per say totally awesome but when I did watch season 1 and the end had come this moment truly really did make me happy for a little bit.
I was so happy when Bill asked Sookie to marry him. that moment made me so happy and i cried for a little bit. I was also sad but was on Sookie’s side when she was deciding to or not because of things she wanted to do and figure out her true self as well. Well at least it didn’t last long and who knows what will happen for season 5. Hopefully maybe Sookie and Eric will become completely together i hope.

The Stakes Are High (via @TBconfid)
Eric doesn’t seem too concerned, compared to Bill’s WTF is this face.
While those reading should beware spoilers, when last we left ‘True Blood’ at the end of season 4′s “And When I Die,” a number of mysteries were still afoot. Who set loose Russell Edgington from his concrete tomb? Who’s going to clean Tara’s brains off the wall? And who sired Steve Newlin? Screencrush
Don’t forget Sunday on HBO– Join the cast of “True Blood” and relive season 4 on Sunday, May 27th, 6:45 EST, it’s a 15 minute special.

Fang-A-Thon Day 16: I Don’t Have A Fangover Yet! (via @VampKingBill)
This time last year I think a lot of people (including myself) were starting to get a fangover from the sheer number of video promotions for Season 4 – most notably the first eight minutes of the season. Although they obviously intended for the clips to drum up interest, I think many people found they had an opposite effect. Not only did they reveal too much, but they revealed too much of a scene that ultimately could be considered one of, if not the worst of the season due to cheesy sets and absolutely awful CGI, even by True Blood’s admittedly low standards.
The Powers That Be at HBO seemed to have learned from their mistake, and, at least as of the date of publishing, have not released the first several minutes of the first episode. I applaud this move. The promotions they have done to this point have already been extremely effective at drumming up interest: on the whole I’d say the people I know are more intrigued and excited about this season than they were about Season 4. Furthermore, the lack of that kind of promotion only gives us viewers more incentive to actually watch the first episode of the season to see what goes down.
Of course I could be wrong and we could be something soon, but I really really hope that I’m right and that we won’t see anything major between now and the 10th. While waiting does suck, knowing too much sucks even more. Ply me with Get Glue stickers and maybe a few more promotional shots of Eric and Bill and that’s really all that I need. The promos have been enough, let us all just sit back, count down and wait for the first official fangover to arrive.
M is for… (via @TrueBloodMame)
Mine – something Eric wants Sookie to become
“I bought this house because I care about you. If all I wanted was to taste your blood again, I could do it right now and there wouldn’t be a thing you could do to stop me. But instead I am asking you…to be mine.”
– You gave yourself to me completely. You are mine.
– I never promised that. And you gave yourself to me completely.
– Yes, I did. I love you

Day 16: Fashion Advice From a Vampire (via @Eric_NorthmanTB)
I happened to stumble upon Jessica Hamby’s blog at http://www.babyvamp-jessica.com/ and I saw that she had my progeny, Pam, appear as a special guest. For those of you who are curious as to what my progeny recommends for jewellery, here is the clip of Jessica’s interview. I find it rather amusing.
Today’s Alan Ball Rant (via @JBDuRoneTB)
Witches, Alan. Why’d you screw up the witch story line on True Blood? And you couldn’t stop with the Marnie character, you had to drag down all the witches.
(Hereafter, I shall use the term “Ball” or “Balled” to reference Alan Ball’s toilet brush writing style)
Although I shouldn’t be surprised; you’ve taken all the awesome Supes from SVM and turned them into a perverted joke. (Please reference previous blogs). The SVM witches were powerful, quirky (in a fun way) and entertaining.
All of this missed you when you brought the witches to life on True Blood. The witches themselves were lame, with the exception of Marnie – who turns out to be over the top psycho. I’ll bet Fiona Shaw regrets having the TB hash mark on her otherwise respectable resume.
Jesus could have been good. But, you had to go “Ball” him too. His back story just had to include the South of the Border version of the Mickens. And then you give him a Jim Carrey-esque Mask during his best scenes.
At least Jesus gave us the term “brujo”. And be careful how you use it; say “Get me a brew, ho” will earn you a schooner of Yuengling in your lap at a bar; I know this to be true.
Ok – here’s my big beef; without good witches, there is no Amelia. And with no Amelia, there is no Bob. And no Bob, no dude turned into a pussy for pissing Amelia off. And I liked the pussy storyline! Damn you, Alan Ball! Sookie needs a roommate to share and enjoy Bob with.
Thank God Game of Thrones was launched before Alan could Ball it. Otherwise, Drogo would be gay and chasing Viserys instead of Dany. And Melisandre would be spitting out brujos instead of dark men.
Varys, sadly, would still be a eunuch. Unless, of course, he’s Balled too.
Sookie’s Rug (via @EricNorthmanSVM)
We’re not talking about the one covered in were blood. This is the charming braided rug at the front door. The poor thing went thru a lot last year. Eric stepped on it with his muddy feet, Pam was thrown on it and Eric and Sookie landed on it as part of their marathon lovemaking session.

True Blood On Location Filming Historical Home for Season 5 (via @vs4as)
True Blood season 5 will premiere on June 10, 2012 and have been very busy filming for a few months now. Recently the show was filming on location (not on a set) at a home that was built in 1882. It is the oldest home in the city. The home was officially named a National Historic Place in 1994. This home has been featured in many commericials, music videos and also on television.
Just what scenes will we see on True Blood from this location? Ryan Kwanten was seen during filming. Unfortunately he was gone by the time I got there. (same day as the Battleship premiere). Some of the casting calls had “Jason” dealing with rowdy parties.
This home would work for a fraternity party or perhaps for the home of the Judge that was in an earlier casting call. Whatever it is at least the premiere will soon be here!
Here are some exterior shots.

Breed all about it: Letting sleeping dogs lie (via @mswriteok)
I can’t say how this idea came to me, but here it is.
There is no doubt that Terry Bellefleur loves his catahoula dogs, that for some reason Sam Merlotte loves becoming Dean the collie, and I personally love my dogs Caro and Woody.
Thinking about what to write today I came up with this.
If the vampires of “True Blood” were dogs, what breeds would they be?
Right away, with no thought whatsoever, I decided Eric would be a greyhound. These dogs are long, lean, elegant, seem to fly and know how absolutely, stunningly beautiful they are.
That describes Eric to a T. Also, greyhounds love to lie around and be admired. They love attention, will cheerfully wear clothes, shoes, hats, whatever will keep them comfortable in the great outdoors, and expect respect. Generally, they get it because they are the second fastest animal on the planet. This breed has been around for thousands of years and live to hunt down lesser beings, which is in their minds is everything else.
Bill Compton is a chow chow. They are a one person dog, and when their find their person, they are loyal only to them. Sookie Stackhouse is Bill’s person. He is ever loyal to her, even if he does go out playing games with other dogs frequently. When he wants comfort, when he needs to protect something, it’s Sookie or no one.
Pam is a poodle. I’m not talking about the ill-bred yappy kind, I’m talking the purebred, standard variety. They are regal, they too know they are beautiful, but they can be really bitchy when their nerves get jangled or things don’t go their way. Poodles know when they look good and Pam doesn’t leave her nest without every hair in place, perfect outfit, perfect shoes. She loves nipping at any lesser breed, which for her is everyone but her greyhound, Eric.
Russell Edgington is the Rottweiler. He is a big brute, cunning, intelligent, stubborn and powerful. Only a rottie could pull the spine out of a news anchor, then nonchalantly ask Tiffany about the weather forecast. His only loyalty was to his lovely cocker spaniel mate Talbot, and after that guy’s true death, he is on the warpath with Eric and Bill in his sights.
Queen Sophie-Ann was a shih tzu. Can’t you see her in her “sun room” in New Orleans, bow in her hair, curled up on her chaise, playing games all night with her coterie of fellow lapdogs? Eric and Bill stop by and pay grudging homage to her, but when they leave, they stopped to pee on everything, you know they did.
True Blood Comics (via @TB_PamR)
Spent the last couple of nights hanging out with @TrueBloodComics at Phoenix Comic Con. Always great to meet fellow truebies. -checks spelling- Sadly, not much True Blood presence here this year. Did get a reminder, however, that it’s good to repeat “I am not Kristin Bauer van Straten nor am I in any way affiliated with her, HBO or Charlaine Harris. Mrs. van Straten has been kind enough to ok my use of her face for RP.
Supernatural Superiority Race: Fairies (via @DarlingSookie)
When one thinks of Southern Vampire Mysteries (SVM) and True Blood (TB), the first thing they think about is vampires. While both series are heavy in the world of the vampire, they are not the only supernatural creatures that existence.
Fairies (Fae) are a strange and mystical race in both SVM and TB, but as with many things TB-related, there seem to be some severe deviations between the book fairies and their show counterparts. Instead of trying to explain the differences, this post will focus on each set individually.
SVM Fairies
Fairies are a rare and elusive race in the SVM books. Their existence isn’t known until Charlaine Harris’ fourth book, Dead to the World, when Sookie Stackhouse meets the beautiful Claudine Crane.
Fairies are not from the world around us. Their world, known as Faery, is separated from our own by a series of ‘doors’, mystical barriers that allow entry from Faery into the human realm. These doors are hidden away throughout the world the knowledge of these locations are a heavily guarded secret.
Physically, the Fae are described as extremely beautiful, though it is not their true form that humans and other supes (supernatural beings) see. They naturally have pointed ears and the Fae are actually divided up into several subspecies from fairies, angels, demons to elves and sprites. Fairies are actually the most populous of the Fae and their appearance is the closest to that of a human. Fairies are attractive to all, their use of power and sex appeal is commonly used as a means of achieving what they desire most
