Favorite Eric Moment (via @missxflawless)
my favorite Eric moments are when he’s fighting. he’s literally at his most powerful and in control when he’s fighting someone or something, when he’s proving himself.
True Blood Season 5 Speculations Respect (via @vs4as)
True Blood season 5 promo shown on Sunday night had quite a lot to enjoy for fans. We finally got to see a bit more of the mysterious vampire group “The Authority”. Here are some more speculations from the new promo trailer.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T The Authority!
Christopher Meloni is “Roman” the head of The Authority vampire council. In the promo we hear him say “I AM THE AUTHORITY”. The Authority council member are seen kneeling in front of a glass case that holds a large vial of blood. Why is this blood so sacred? Does it hold the blood of the very first vampire? Does it hold special powers? Wonder if we will see it used in the new season.
Just what does this secretive group have in mind for the former King of Louisiana and Vampire Sheriff (Bill and Eric). We see the duo on the run from a possible true death sentence. The casting calls had a form of an underground railroad that perhaps they use to try and escape. A big explosion is also seen:
Eric and Bill after the exposion:
We see a burnt vampire (probably Hayes a new character mentioned in the casting call for episode 5.01: [HAYES] A large vampire of Eastern European descent, he is dispatched by the Authority to give the True Death to some other vampires…3 lines, 2 scenes) after the car explosion:
Nora who is a council member (she is seen wearing the Vampyr necklace) who seems to be helping them escape. Nora is another progeny of Vampire Godric so she is Eric’s “sister”. It does look like though they are eventually all caught.
Nora is put in her own jail cell as are Bill and Eric:
Bill looks like he is burnt a bit as punishment:
Never fear. We seen him fully healed in the same promo.
He’s BAAAACCCKKKKKK
Yes! We finally see King Russell Edgington (ok former King) in the new trailer. He seems to have healed quite well from being kept in concrete for a long period of time. In the prior trailer we did see an unwilling donor who was probably the reason for Russel’s healing.
Really looking forward to seeing the mayhem Russell will cause this season. We do see Eric and Bill pleading their case with the Authority to “end” what they started and are shown going into the location where Russell was kept to heal: (Eric has a big ole stake for RE!) It looks like Eric, Bill, Alcide and Sookie will have a mission to get Russell. (but probably won’t find Russell at this location)
The scene used for the filming above was held at the “creepy hospital” location. Quite perfect for what looks like it will be a very dangerous scene for the vampires, fae and were!
Where is This Were?
In this promo trailer we see Sheriff Andy Bellefleur holding the photo of Debbie Pelt. The casting calls had her parents of Barbara and Gordon Pelt who are looking for their missing daughter. Sookie is shown to be burying something (or someones perhaps) with Lafayette (my guess). In the season 4 finale we saw Sookie shoot Debbie Pelt. Debbie had tried to shoot Sookie but Tara took the bullet instead. So yes the big question now is when we last saw Tara Sookie was holding her pleading for someone to help her!
Tara had quite a grave injury. Lafayette is upstairs will he use his powers to save Tara? Will Sookie use her energy hands to somehow revive Tara?
Speculations that Tara will be turned really started popping up when the episode title for the season 5 premiere came out- “Turn, Turn , Turn”. Is this a nod to her being turned to save her from death? Some are saying nay Tara is dead for good. If Tara is really really dead and Debbie was the person responsible Sookie would have a justifiable reason for shooting Debbie in self defense. However since we do see Andy with that photo of Debbie and her parents think she is missing no one really knows that Debbie is dead.
Alcide is shown in the promo with another were who seems quite upset with him perhaps this is Debbie’s dad looking for his little girl (ok a very mean big girl hooked on V)
So again where is Tara?? Waiting really sucks. (my guess is hopefully Pam gets the chance at being her maker that would be something to watch).
Lots more to speculate and absorb in this promo. It will have to last for fans! The next promo is not due out until 6/4/12! Waiting really sucks! At least the new season will be here soon.
Fangathon 2012 Night 5 (via @Alice_Simon_)
Tonight, Ill be trying my hand at a short story fan fiction. It`s something I`ve always wanted to do, but have had no time to do!(only 26 more days!)
Bill awoke for the night. He could feel the day`s sleep on him slowly starting to wear off as he started to wake up for the night. He rubbed his hands over his face and sighed. Tonight would be another night of paper work he would have to do, and idiotic vampires he would have to punish. Being the king was a tough job, but he had known what he`s signed up for. Slowly, Bill got out of his satin sheets and began to search for fitting clothes for the night. What was he doing other then the usual drag? If he had remembered correctly, he would have a skype conference with the sherifs. Including Eric. Pushing the thoughts of Eric out of his mind, he settled on a blue dress shirt, and a nicer pair of dark blue jeans. After Bill had dressed, he could not care it any longer. He sat back onto the comfy bed full of memories and dwelled on the nights he had spent with the most beautiful Ms. Stackhouse. Bill thought of Sookies sun kissed skin, and shivers were sent up his spin. Thoughts of her naked flesh and sweet Lousianna sun scented hair invaded his mind and a bad weed sending runners into the soil. the very thought of Sookie put Bill on edge. Suddenly there was a rap on the door. Bill knew he couldnt linger in the past. He needed to be concerned about the future and act in the present.
“night Sook!” Sam`s voice was cut off by the slame of a door. Sookie sighed as she left the bar for the night. It was great to know that she didn`t have to work tomorrow. It was seldom these days that she did get a day off and when she did she spent it cleaning. Tomorrow would be different. She would get to sun bath, and watch the movies she loved oh so very much. The idea made her almost giddy. Maybe she would even call Tara or Jason to come over for supper. Sookie opened her purse and started searching for her keys. Where had she put them? She stopped in front of her old car and stood there looking like a fool. Sookie almost turned her purse inside out looking for those damn keys. well hell. She glared at the old car, thinking of how she possiblely could have lost them. “I should go ask Sam or Jason for a ride” sookie muttered. She quickly scolded herself for thinking that. Jason was probably spending time with Mitchell tonight, and Sam was busy with the bar. So without fully thinking it through, Sookie started walking down through the Merlotts parking lot. Unaware of the two hungry eyes watching her.
“Mr.Compton we understand that you are upset but please know that we have sent over very best to recover them.”
“You shouldnt have let them get away in the first place! There are innocent woman and childern here that could be brutely slaughtered because of your mistake! God help you if one drop of bloos is spilt tonight. If so, you shall have the punishment of true death on both of you..Dismissed!”
Bill ran his fingers through his hair. Idiots. The authority will have his head if they hear about two massicotic vampires running around Bon Temps eliminating the residence. His top two human guards quickly left him alone in his study. Bill watched as the two doors slowly closed. As soon as the two doors closed,Bill picked up the phone and dialed Sookie`s home phone number. It was probably a good idea that Sookie knew two bllod thirsty ampires were running around. After a few rings, her voice mail picked up. Bill slammed down the reciever and picked it up with super speed and punched in the number to Merlotts. sam answered. Before Sam could say anything else, Bill interupted.
“Is Sookie in tonight sam?” the line went quiet for a few moments, and the crowd at merlots roared in the backround.
”She left about twenty minutes ago. Is something wrong?”
“Watch your patrons tonight Sam. There are rogue vampires about.” with that Bill hung up. He punched in Sookie`s cell phone. Thankfully after a few rings, she answered.
“Hello?”
“Sookie,” Bill sighed with relief. “Where are you?”
“I decided to walk home tonight. I couldn`t find my keys and I didn`t want to bother anyone. Is something wrong Bill?”
A white fear for Sookie took over Bill. “Sookie you need to go back to merlotts quickly. I dont want you walking alone in the dark at night. Its not safe.”
Sookie snorted. “Bill Im a grown woman I can- Oh hello who are… oh my, BILL” and the line went dead. With the speed that only a vampire could posses, Bill ran into the night after Sookie.
Sookie tried her hardest not to tremble, but her poor hands could not stop shaking. Two vampires stood infront of her. These two were obviosuly not the clean and tidy vampires that society strived for. The first one had short black spiked hair, and dressed like your sterotypical goth. The other stood in the shawdows with a dark hood over his head. Both looks like they had bathed in blood only hours ago. swallowing Her fear, Sookie spoke.
“You know I don`t know where ya`ll are from, but it`s rude to knock someone`s phone out their hands while they`re talking on it. espicially if you crush it.”
The pair laughed a villious chuckle. THe one in the hood with impossible speed and slamed Sookie into the frozen ground. It was not a soft landing.
“Well arent you a sight of sore eyes, aint she mate?” The hooded vampire climbed on top os sookie, straddling her to the ground. Sookie thrashed and struaggled but it was no use. This vampire was heavy. The gothic looking vampire kneeled down beside the hooded vampire, never taking his eyes off her.
”lets have a taste, shall we?” The gothic vampire dragged a ragged finger nail down Sookie`s skin, from the base of her neck, through her merlotts tee shirt, towards the middle of her breasts. Sookie tried to scream, but no sound would come out. Slowly, the hooded vampire laped up the long bloody line the gothic looking vampire had cut. Tears welled up in her eyes.
“aw love, we havent even started. Give us a smile!” An earth shattering knee went in towards her rib cage, and Sookie felt pain and heard snapping and cried out a scream of pain. The gothic vampire spoke again.
“See, my friend here has already fed. But he likes pain yes he does. So I`ll let him break you up a little.. But my friend, keep that face in tact will yah? shes got a pretty face”
A low chuckle came from the hooded figure, and as slowly as he has laughed, Sookies left leg had been twisted around like a candy wrapper. Sookie tried to scream, but an face melting punch towards her jaw shut her up. Was this how it was going to end? She prayed to god that Bill had heard some of her conversation she had had with these freaks before they had crushed her phone. The hooded one stood up, and stared her down and nodded. Sookie watched as the hooded one walked towards the brush, leaving the gothic vampire and her alone. As far as Sookie could tell, the gothic looking one was the leader, and probably came from England. She knew nothing about the hooded vampire, except he liked to break her legs, and any other bones. The gothic vampire kneeled beside her and whispered in her ear.
“My name is ron by the way. I figure youd like to know that before you die. Sorry lovely but I`m not sparing a single drop becauuse you smell…delectable.”
With all of Sookies strength, she spat at the gothic vampire. It was terriblely un lady like and rude. But she wouldnt give this creep any satisfaction.
(this shall be finished on another date)
The Viking (via @LuvBONESnTBlood)
I just love Eric Northman! I always thought if there was a character I would definitely want on my side at my side and be inside 
it would be Edward Cullen but ever since Tall Blonde and Handsome strutted his way into my life there has never been a character I would move heavan and earth to hear him say “You. Are. Mine” but see since I would have absolutely NOOOOOO problem with his ownership of me that is why it would never work out…So sad I know..see he wants fiery yes I’d be sarcastic and perverted and kick some serious ass with him but I could never tell him no…ever! I do not care for the sparkling in the sun doe eyed never sleeps shy boy Mr. Cullen…My whole bond was opened to the cool collected, cockiness all wrapped in a piercing blue-green eyed chisled out of marble form! Not too mention the fact that he is a magnificant player in the world of vamps with a Viking heritage to boot! I had a shirt made at cafepress.com…I saw this check list they made for the Teams and I changed it up a bit and then wrote out Sookie’s words throughout of Eric in my definition so to speak of Mr. Eric Northman! I rec’d it today and I took some rough pics so I could post today! I think I will wear it Fri to see Battleship! I’ms so excited it came today. Pics below~

Top 5 Favourite Characters/Top 5 Least Favourite Characters (via @Eric_NorthmanTB)
Below you will find a list of my Top 5 Favourite Characters and my Top 5 Least Favourite Characters. These characters were picked from my view of the character on the television show.
TOP 5 FAVOURITE CHARACTERS
1. ERIC NORTHMAN
Why: What’s not to like about Eric Northman?
2. SOOKIE STACKHOUSE
Why: She’s our protagonist in the books and the show. While I prefer the Book!Sookie version over Show!Sookie version of this character, we wouldn’t have True Blood if it were not for our favourite little telepath.
3. PAM
Why?: She has an excellent taste in Makers, she’s loyal and she’s fierce. And she has good style.
4. TALBOT
Why?: Talbot grew on me. I didn’t expect him to as I saw him as just another character that Alan Ball was adding to the roster of characters but I actually liked Talbot. He had a sense of humour and he was a great host to his guests. I wish we got to see him more before he met his Final Death.
5. BILL COMPTON
Why?: I’m glad Sookie has moved on with Eric and I hate that Bill is King in True Blood but I do like his character.
TOP 5 LEAST FAVOURITE CHARACTERS
1. LORENA
Why?: Because she was annoying.
2. CRYSTAL NORRIS
Why?: She is all kinds of crazy! Jason can do SO much better!
3. TARA THORNTON
Why?: Here is where things get difficult. I like Tara’s character in the book but I don’t like her character in the television show. I find her very self-centred and whiny in the show. Funny enough though, I have enjoyed RPing with each and every Tara I have come across on Twitter. I love the RPers who play Tara and I like book!Tara. I’m leaving Show!Tara behind.
4. MARYANN (MAENAD)
Why?: Annoying plot line. Season Two was great, minus all of the Maryann scenes. Her storyline just seemed to get weirder and drawn out. I cheered when she died.
The whole cooking the heart thing and feeding it to Tara and Eggs? Still makes me gag to this very day.
5. CALVIN NORRIS
Why?: Like my reason with Tara, I only dislike Show!Calvin. Book!Calvin is a completely different character from what Alan Ball made Show!Calvin to be.

True Blood’s Favorite Lustful Moment (via @EricSookieLover)
In tonight’s (Day 5) installment of my fangalicious Fang-A-Thon 2012 posts…I wanted to let those of you know (who don’t follow True Blood on Facebook), that True Bloodis featuring polls to choose your favorite moments from past seasons!
The first poll they had was to choose your favorite True Blood Moment of Lust!
These were the choices;
When Sookie met Bill.
PUKE. I wouldn’t call this a moment of LUST, but whatever…
Sarah Newlin tempts Jason
This was somewhat tempting…in a creepy sort of way.
Sookie’s threesome dream
This dream was awesome when it was two, but as soon as the third person showed up…it went downhill fast. This was the most awkwardly uncomfortable threesome I’ve ever seen, not something I found lustful. Ever heard of three’s a crowd?
Eric seduces Talbot
Yes, this was kind of hot…in a male-on-male kind of way. (If that’s your kind of thing.) I really liked Talbot as a character, and seeing two hot naked men…YUM.
Jason fights his feelings for Jessica
Jason’s feelings for Jessica were brought on by Jessica’s blood when she saved him. There had been no inkling of feelings before this, so this was somewhat surprising. It was uncomfortable too, because I felt bad for Hoyt.
Last, but definitely not least…and not surprisingly to us…Eric and Sookie won with this lustful moment below!
Eric’s first Sookie fantasy
Yeah, they have the picture wrong. Instead of showing a picture of Eric’s first Sookie fantasy, they showed a pic from their first real kiss! But, whatever…I’m pleased to see the fans feel the same way as us! I hope True Blood is paying attention to who all the fans are voting for and is wanting together as a couple! If not, they are really, really stupid.
As a reward, they shared this special edition sticker on GetGlue! When you watched True Blood and checked into the show, this is what you would receive on GetGlue!
GetGlue’s Thursday’s check-in sticker
If you’re interested in voting for True Blood’s Favorite Moment this week…they are featuring the most memorable death! The two we’re hoping will win are when “Talbot becomes a victim of Eric’s revenge” and “Godric’s death”. Cast your vote here! (Please note: you might have to be logged into Facebook to cast your vote.)
That’s it for this memorable Fang-A-Thon post! Check-in tomorrow – when I’ll be switching back to the books again!
[True Blood] Fang-a-thon: Day 5 (via @ShadeBlossom)
Behold the magnificent and wonderful Pam Ravenscroft (or Swynford De Beaufort, depending on which version you’re currently loving on). I love her. I may love her even more than Eric, and that’s saying a lot. More than anything, I love them together.
I genuinely teared up when Pam and Eric were saying goodbye in Season three, thinking Eric would be killed by Russell Edgington. They have real affection between them.
She has a dark, sharp sense of humor that sets her apart from the other vampires, but also from most of the other characters. A lot of the genuinely funny moments in the books and shows come from Pam. I appreciate her ability to torment everyone around her equally, even if Eric seems to be her favorite target. I suppose, having lived with someone that long, you’ve got to make your fun where you can or things get stale.
For all her good qualities, she’s still a very good vampire. I don’t mean a nice vampire. I mean she’s good at it. She’s ruthless and vicious when crossed. Deadly in a fight. Cold and calculated when she has a job to do.
Plus, she can shoot a rocket launcher. ❤♡❤
Dead as a Doornail isn’t Dead in the Water (via @lynntulloch)
‘Dead as a Doornail’ is the fifth book in Charlaine Harris’ Southern Vampire Series and it’s quite an exciting book too. The book concentrates on Sookie wanting a bit more of a quiet life. After all, so far, Sookie has had a friend murder her grandmother, fallen in love and been betrayed, been raped, slept with two vampires, been blown up, discovered that not only are vampires real, but werewolves, shapeshifters and witches too, had her brother attacked by werepanthers (its only at the beginning of this book that we find out he will shift at a new moon unlike the TV series).
There is a pack master challenge in Shreveport and the very wonderful Alcide asks Sookie for help. He needs her there to listen to people’s thoughts and make sure no one will cheat, cause Jackson Herveaux is Alcide’s dad and he’s in the running.Great, used by Sam, used by Alcide.
After being Franklin Mott’s bit of fluff in book 3, Tara has been passed off by him to another vamp called Mickey who is not really emotionally stable. She needs help to get away from him.Night #5 ~ Top Five Reasons I Love Alcide Herveaux (via @CindyLouLouBear)
5. His Hugs. If You’ve never had a “Herveaux Hug” You’re missing out on one of the Great Experiences in Life.
4. His Smile. It’s Genuine. Not forced. When Alcide’s happy *grins* You know it!
3. His Hands. They’re SO Damn Big, but can be as gentle as silk.
2. His Eyes. If You know him, his eyes say everything about him. In more ways than one *wink*
1. His Heart. No matter how many times he’s gotten burned by it, Alcide still believes in Love. The kind where your heart beats faster & your palms sweat just thinking about your girl/guy. And if you’re lucky enough to be the girl he loves. *blushes* That’s just about the best thing in the world.
Top Five Reasons True Blood is Better than Vampire Diaries (via @VampKingBill)
5. When sex is needed and/or implied, they actually go there and show it.
This is so far down the list because 1) technically True Blood doesn’t really it either and The Vampire Diaries can’t help the fact that they’re on network television with an 8 pm time slow. The latter especially makes any kind of sex scene impossible. Those excuses made, when Vampire Diaries does go there, it either leaves you wanting more (Damon/Rebekah inDangerous Liasons anyone?) or just plain awkwardness (Elena waking up in Stefan’s bed, Rebekah doing a walk of shame in her dress despite the fact that you heard the fabric rip before they slept together) as they try to comply with the sensors. I’m of the mind that if your writing leads to needing a sex scene. Take the scene out and it’s awkward because the scene is screaming for it. At least on True Blood if the writing goes there, it goes there. Perhaps if The Vampire Diaries handled these moments more gracefully it’d be less of a gripe. But it’s not, and so it’s on the list.
4. There is actual violence! On a vampire show! Imagine that!
Again, just like sex, the inability to truly be violent is a limitation of where it’s shown and when. But still: by the time Eric ripped his out a heart in Season 4, Damon and Elijah had ripped out at least 4 and yet the one heart on True Blood had so much more impact. Why? Because you saw the broken rib cage. You saw the full sized heart. You saw the viscera attached to said heart and Eric making a show of drinking from the heart. On Vampire Dairies both Damon and Elijah tended to rip hearts out from the back – no broken bones, the heart appears to be smaller than their hands and it’s always tossed aside before you can really see anything – the only thing you ultimately see is a bloody hand.
Let me be clear – I’m not a horror movie buff, heck I’m actually pretty squeamish and have been known to turn away during some of True Blood’s goriest moments. That being said, vampiresare violent. There should be violence, there should be gore. It’s a reminder that vampires are supposed to be hunters and predators and that normal humans are pray. The lack of violence may make the vampires sexier, but it also ultimately makes them less, well, vampire-like.
3. The scenes with the vampires are (mostly) set at night.
It’s sad that even this has to come up. Between Twlight and The Vampire Diaries one could forget that vampires are supposed to be creatures of the nights. The Vampire Diaries vampires actually are nocturnal, but have the deus ex machina of magic jewelery that lets them daywalk. The books the series was founded on are to blame, as they are canon and clearly you can’t tell a high school tale if some of your characters can’t go to school without getting burnt to a crisp. Then again, the rareness of the rings means that you can immediately sort the plot important vampires (have ‘em) and the ones that will be lucky to last the episode (don’t) which makes them feel lazy and ultimately vampires are supposed to be creatures of the night. Take them out of the night and you take out one of the main allures and one of the things that makes them so mysterious, that they can only be seen at night.
On True Blood, by comparison, the vampires must go to ground during the day. They can fight the rise of the dawn but if they stay up too long they get the bleeds: consequences for fighting their nature. Ultimately, they just feel more like vampires because they are genuinely hindered by the sun.
2. The vampire adults are actually adults.
Bill Compton and Damon Salvatore are the same age. Let that sink in. Aside from the few months that separate them, Bill Compton and Damon Salvatore are supposed to be the exact. same. age. You’d never know it from the way they act though, do you? Yes, the vampires on Vampire Diaries have said to been essentially exaggerations of their former human selves at time of death, without really much room to grow, but that has been tossed out the window by Plec as we’ve seen both Stefan and Damon mature in the 3rd season in various ways. Because the “adult” vampires can feel awfully childish – (Klaus could often feel less a threat and more like an incredibly old vampire throwing a temper tantrum)- it ultimately cheapens the characters and the show, while True Blood feels like adults dealing with adult problems and even the adults on The Vampire Diaries still seem like they’re stuck in school.
Again there are issues with writing and the different audiences (True Blood definitely does skew older) but as an older viewer of The Vampire diaries, it does make a difference to the ultimate tone of the show.
1. True Blood understands the value of the love triangle but doesn’t overplay it.
At their core, both True Blood and Vampire Diaries are nighttime soap operas, and there’s nothing wrong with it – far from it, it’s probably why I enjoy them some much. But that being said, under Ball’s leadership he has managed to find a pretty good balance of romance to plot. He finds ways of working the triangle into the plot and when there are Big Moments in the relationship they really do feel that way. One of the main gripes I had about Vampire Diaries, especially in the third season, was that too much time was spent on the “Stefan? Damon?” aspect of the plot, especially in the last few episodes. Just at the time when the show should have been building tension as it approached the climax, it wasted time on fanservice that ultimately went no where – the “decision” made the in the finale fell a bit flat because the way the Damon/Elena had occurred it hadn’t felt like there was truly something there (never mind the fact that Elena was absolutely awful towards Damon for much of the season!). When she let down the one brother, it wasn’t a bad moment, but it also lacked the emotional impact that Sookie dumping both vampires had in the finale of season four. Of course the handling isn’t perfect and I’m sure I’ll see plenty to scream about in Season 5, but True Blood is definitely stronger for not letting the love triangle overwhelm the series and I hope that as Vampire Dairies heads into its fourth season next year that it takes a cue from it’s older sibling and tones it back.

Alan Ball’s Addition (via @TrueBloodMame)
Alan Ball has in some ways given us even more than Charlaine Harris did in her Book: Dead To The World:
I’d almost said, “Hi, honey,” but caution kept me mute. “Sookie,” he said slowly. “Am I in your house?” I was glad I’d gotten dressed. “Yes,” I said, regrouping like crazy. “You’ve been here for safekeeping. Do you know what happened?” “I went to a meeting with some new people,” he said, doubt in his voice. “Didn’t I?” He looked down at his WalMart clothes with some surprise. “When did I buy these?” “I had to get those for you,” I said. “Did you dress me, too?” he asked, running his hands down his chest and lower. He gave me a very Eric smile. He didn’t remember. Anything.
“No,” I said. I flashed on Eric in the shower with me. The kitchen table. The bed. “Where is Pam?” he asked. “You should call her,” I said. “Do you recall anything about yesterday?” “Yesterday I had the meeting with the witches,” he said, as if that was indisputable. I shook my head. “That was days ago,” I told him, unable to addthe number of them up in my head. My heart sank even lower.
“You don’t remember last night, after we came back from Shreveport,” I pressed him, suddenly seeing a gleam of light in all this. “Did we make love?” he asked hopefully. “Did you finally yield to me, Sookie? It’s only a matter of time, of course.” He grinned at me.
—Charlaine Harris “Dead To The World”
In True Blood Eric remembered everything at once, and they both acknowledged their love for each other, which didn’t happen in the books for a long time.
Charlaine Harris characters I’d Like to See on True Blood (via @mswriteok)
Since it’s Day 5 in this great Fangathon, it’s been suggested we make a Top Five list of some kind.
So, I thought about it most of the day and have picked five characters from the SVM books who would fit in well in the True Blood universe.
No. 1: JB du Rhone.
JB is probably the only person in Bon Temps as dim as Jason Stackhouse. Believe it or not, JB is better looking than Jason. Yes, there is enough eye candy on this show already, but really, can there ever be too much? JB has several jobs. He has worked in a gym, at a home improvement warehouse and as a male stripper. He helped Sookie with physical therapy after one particularly nasty session with bad fairies and is one of the few humans she can stand to be around because his thoughts are restful and he is is a nice guy. In the book, JB and Tara get married and have twins. I don’t think Tara is going to care one way or another about humanity much longer, so he’d be a free agent in the series. I can see Chris Evans playing this part.
No. 2: Bubba
If you read my Day 4 post, it’s about Bubba, whom I love. I know it would be hard to get all the permissions you would need, and there would be rules about what he could and could not do on the show, but damn kids, having Elvis Presley sneaking in and out of Bon Temps would be so cool. I think even Russell Edgington would allow Bubba to do anything he liked, because sometimes, when he’s happy or it’s Christmas, you might hear him sing. “Blue Christmas” anyone? Chris Isaac has the voice and there are fat suits for a reason.
No. 3: Quinn
While there are no shortage of big beefy men in both the SVM and “True Blood,” I think John Quinn would be a welcome addition. First, he is a very endangered species, a weretiger. Only Sam can match him in the shifter world, simply because Sam could turn into a tiger if he felt like it. However, Quinn has the advantage of being a veteran of the supernatural fight world pit matches. The fact he survived makes him a real bad-ass. Also, his looks are amazing. He’s described as tall, extremely handsome with “pansy colored eyes.” Sounds good to me. In the books, he and Sookie date a few times and then break it off, but the blonde waitress has enough men wanting her attention. He’d simply be more eye candy to me, but a weretiger in town might make those werepanthers in Hot Shot behave. There have been discussions on True Blood websites about who would be the best Quinn, but because I love his gravelly voice, I’d go with Vin Diesel. Personally, I’d love to see him and Alcide play some shirtless football. Yum.
No. 4: Desmond Cataliades
A lawyer from New Orleans, Mr. Cataliades also is a demon. We haven’t had a demon on True Blood yet, at least not one we’ve known about. He’s a beefy guy, with two nieces who serve as messengers between him and Sookie when needed. She’s helped him too, saving his life, and he has been helpful in filling in some of her numerous questions about her past and explains Gran’s final gift to her. I think William Shatner would be perfect as the demon, but if you want someone more menacing, try Vincent D’Onofrio.
No. 5: Amelia Broadway
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we’ve had our fill of bad witches in Season 4, but Amelia is a witch who uses her powers for good. She and Sookie meet in New Orleans when Sookie comes down to claim her cousin Hadley’s estate. Amelia is able to recreate what happened in the apartment, helping everyone find out who killed her cousin (You remember Hadley, her son Hunter is telepathic too). After a spell-soaked sexy session with her boyfriend Bob turns him into a cat, Amelia needs to lay low for while, so she and Bob come stay with Sookie until the heat dies down and she can find a way to reverse Bob’s spell. Sookie needs a mostly-normal friend, it would be relaxing for a change. Her talents would come in handy to recreate crime scenes involving supernatural beings, and her magic wards on Sookie’s house would keep her (mostly) safe from harm. Also, it would be fun to see some good magic, especially one that would bring Bob back to his human form. Talking about Bob though, would mean six characters, and that’s not the assignment is it? I’ll let you readers cast this one yourself.

Mr. Russell Edgington!
oh and need I mention…
Let’s just face it, he’s bad-ass and has a wicked sense of humour. I’m looking forward to his reappearance in season five! ROLL ON JUNE!
Radio, not TV (via @TB_PamR)
Call me old-fashioned but I’m just not a television kind of girl. I don’t understand the attraction of watching images of people on a small box. People are small enough in person, they don’t need to be shrunk down any further. Besides, it’s a gigantic waste of time, with the exception of that entertaining show about the vampires on summer Sunday nights. That’s a good way to start the week.
Given the choice I prefer the radio, books or, of course, the internet. No doubt you’ll be happy to point out that these are all, potentially smaller boxes than a television. That’s true, they are. But they don’t pretend to give you the full picture and experience of me. Which is the promise TV makes but can never deliver.
On the radio you only get my voice. In a book you just see me through the eyes of Charlaine Harris. And on the internet…well that might just be where you see the most of me, thanks to this blog, my Live Journal, my Facebook fan page and Twitter.
Tonight, at a new time 8 p.m. CDT, @DarlingSookie and I will take to the online airwaves to discuss the reason for all the discussions, the True Blood 30-Night Fangathonon True Bites Online Radio via BlogTalkRadio. Whether you are blogging with us or not, this is a chance to hear some of what we’ve found most amusing, innovative or just plain odd about the True Blood fandom…since May 11, 2012. -smirks- The time limit was necessary because otherwise the show would never end, there’s so much to talk about when it comes to Truebies and their True Blood passions.
So who cares if Eric is the more TV-friendly? Maybe confining him to such a small space is the only way people can even begin to understand him and appreciate his larger than death charisma. He can have it. I’m happy online and on the radio, especially when he joins me….
So don’t be shy, pets. Give us a listen, maybe even give us a call. I promise to have Lunch before we go on the air. -fangy grin-

A Fateful Day (via @DarlingSookie)
It had been a beautiful May day as I headed into work this morning. The sun was shining bright and it was the kind of day that made me wish I had the day off.
I’ve always been a sucker for a sunny day, especially one that isn’t yet too hot and has a nice cool breeze. I knew exactly where my chaise was, still in its rightful spot in the old tool shed behind my family farmhouse. I had yet to actually pull it out this year and I was sad to see such a pretty day go to waste.
Of course, I needed the money too much to even entertain the idea of calling in for my shift. Not that I would have actually done it. In my six years of working at Merlotte’s, I had rarely called in, unless it was truly something unavoidable. Sam counted on us waitresses to show up on time and do our job and I was never one to fail Sam.
Reluctantly I made my way in through the employee entrance in the back of the bar and towards the office. Sam was mulling over the morning paperwork, his hand ran through his strawberry blond hair as he looked up.

Yesterday I was on youtube and saw that Stephen’s web series “Jan” was there in it’s entirety, posted by the filmakers. Doing this Fangathon for 30 days means I save some things to have for daily posts. I realize I don’t have to because there is so much going on with this cast that news isn’t difficult to find at all. I have so many things bookmarked just from the last 2 days alone so let’s get it going.

5 Reasons Why Pam Deserves to Get Microwaved by Yours Truly (via @DarlingSookie)
So.. as a bookie and a Truebie, I have always loved Pam. I begged and cried for more Pam time since Season 1.
I mourned for her ruined pumps in Season 2, after she and Chow attempted to search for the wretched Maenad who fileted my back.
I screamed and cried out for Eric to “Save Pam” in Season 3, as she lay helpless in the clutches of the Magister. Though I must admit, her snarkiness, even in the face of pain and possibly a final death, had me in awe of her. I certainly can only hope that I can be as strong if I ever find myself in that situation (which for my sake, I prefer to not find out).
I could even forgive her beggin’ Eric to use me to escape Russell’s wrath. I mean, can you really blame someone for trying to save their own hide? Of course, the current state of my kitchen will show that I am in right position to be judging anyone’s sense of self-preservation.
But what really gets me is her attitude after my return from fairyland… or as I like to call it, Hell.
I guess I understand not coming home to a warm welcome. Pam and I weren’t exactly friends of any degree, but certainly, you’d have thought she’d understand my plight to get out from under the clutches of her Maker, Eric.
Of course, that’s what I get for assumin’, right?

#Fangathon2012 Day 5 (via @QueenFaeMab)
#Fangathon2012 Day 5: One of my favorite lines is when Sam is driving Sookie home. Sookie: “I’m sorry you’re havin’ to drive so far” Sam: “I don’t mind. I love ridin’ in a car.” Sookie: *giggling* “Of course you do. Go on. Hang your head right out the window if ya feel like it.” *laughs* Sam: *smiling* “I appreciate that, but it’s a private pleasure.
Day 5 #Fangathon2012 – My favourite book. (via @SassyJessOB)
For #Fangathon day 5……
This subject has actually been difficult for me to decide as its taken me a while to adjust who is my favourite character as well in this book but I cannot choose….
I’m a big fan of the books as well as True Blood as I have stated in my previous blog entries and I have a terrible time of repeating myself too (haha!) but if I had to pick out any book mostly for the Southern Vampire Mysteries it would be Definitely Dead – book number 6!
What’s it about? Well I shall tell you…..
As a person with so few living relatives, Louisiana cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse really hated to lose one. But she never guessed that it would be her cousin Hadley—a consort of the Vampire Queen Sophie-Anne of New Orleans. After all, technically speaking, Hadley was already dead. And now, as unexpected heir to Hadley’s estate, Sookie discovers the inheritance definitely comes with a risk.
Someone doesn’t want Sookie looking too deeply into Hadley’s past—or for that matter, Hadley’s possessions. And they’re prepared to do anything in their power to stop her. But who? The range of suspects runs from the Rogue Weres who reject Sookie as a friend of the Pack to the Vampire Queen herself, who could be working through a particularly vulnerable subject—Sookie’s first love, Bill.
This book was so intense and I love a good intense book. We get to see the development of Queen Sophie-Anne and her vulnerable teenage side but we also discover more about Sookie’s family and I love the whole relationship Sookie forms with Quinn, it gave me the chills when I read this book and I’m most definitely wish the rest of the books were like this.
My favourite part about the book is that it’s set away from Bon Temps, the scenes are beautifully described about New Orleans and other places where the vampires are based.
I love all the characters in this book and the plots.
I won’t ruin it for people who haven’t read it yet….
So that would be my favourite book.
