Quopic of the Day – May 18th (via @EricSookieLover)
I’m cutting it close in today’s tonight’s fangalicious Fang-A-Thon 2012post! We’ll make this short and sweet!
This is going to be a Quopic of the Day based on True Blood! Now, I know a lot of you are down on the show right now…and I don’t blame you, but I would like to remember some of the great times we had! Let’s focus on the positive, okay?
I chose this scene, because it really was quite humorous. It was inspired by the Favorite Blood Moments poll on Facebook. So, let’s think back and remember how Eric tricked Sookie into drinking his blood when she sucked out the bullets. By the way, I think the poll is now closed. Hopefully Russell’s ripping the spine out of the newscaster won.
Check it out below!
You may remember in season 2, Eric “tricked” Sookie into sucking two bullets out of his chest, after he had saved her life in the house bomb blast, while Bill was out with Lorena.
Sookie: I sucked the silver out of Eric’s chest to save his life, even though I REALLY didn’t want to.
Eric: She was superb.
Bill: Eric was in no danger.
Sookie: He…what?
Eric: I tiny falsehood.
Bill: He was already healing. The bullets would’ve pushed themselves out. This way he’s forced you to drink his blood.
Sookie: No…no…NO!
Bill: He will be able to sense your emotions.
Sookie: You big lying a-hole!
Eric: Bill, I believe you’re right. I believe I can sense her emotions.
~True Blood: Season 2, Episode 9
LMAO! Even though Bill was in this scene…it was all about Eric and Sookie. Sookie, angered by how Eric had tricked her into sucking out the bullets, and drinking his blood. Eric was laying there, enjoying the show. I still enjoy this scene, just because of how Eric behaved. He was naughty and cocky. He was manipulative and used Sookie’s ignorance against her. Since this was one of our favorite book scenes, it was interesting to see Alan Ball’s take. Unfortunately for us, it didn’t end with a kiss like it does in the books. Oh well…it was still a great scene, IMO.

My Prized True Blood Possesion ~ Re: @VampKingBill (via @CindyLouLouBear)
Well, Mine isn’t as impressive as having all of the cast~ LUCKY! 😉 But It does involve an autograph.
My Best friend Jessi was at Dragon Con last year. She knows I just do back flips at the mere mention of Joe Manganiello’s name. I had had a tough year with family troubles; and she said she would try to get as close to Joe for me as she could. I honestly just expected some pictures of him signing autographs or maybe waving from like 20 feet away.
That’s not what I got. This is where I love my bestie SO much. She totally didn’t have to do this for me, but she mangaged to get in Joe’s line for autographs. She got one for herself, but she got one for me, too! She took a picture of it & emailed it to me. It remains on my phone & I look at it when I’m at my numerous Dr. Visits to make me smile. I got it a few days before I had surgery. It was one of the best presents I’ve EVER gotten & I can’t thank her enough for it.
I know this is fan girl of me, but when I’m feeling not so good ( I have health problems) I look up at My Picture of Joe, autographed to me. I still squee & grin like a little kid every time I look at it. Because I not only see a Sweet Thing that Joe did, I see the sweetest thing that Jessi did. I love you Jessi! And Thanks Joe!
(I have some more collectibles that I’ll share in future posts, too that are pretty freaking sweet!)
Day 8: Deadlocked by Charlaine Harris (via @Eric_NorthmanTB)
I finally finished “Deadlocked” by Charlaine Harris. It took me a while to get through it. I found the majority of the book to be drawn out and dry. About 90% of the book was a play-by-play of Sookie’s life, i.e. “I went to pick up the mail. I went inside and put my mail on the table where I opened my electricity bill. Then I went upstairs and took a nap before getting up and putting on some make up so I could go out……etc.”
Sookie is still questioning her love for Eric and flipping between men again. Eric, Bill, Quinn and Alcide all made an appearance in this book.
The plot seemed to drag out for me. It seemed like very little was accomplished in this book, other than giving readers the low down on Sookie’s everyday life. That being said though, I still enjoyed the book, although not as much as I enjoyed the earlier books in the series. It’s obvious to me that Harris has run out of things to do with the series. To me, this book felt to me like Harris knows she’s under contract to write two more books and this book was just full of filler material. I worry that is what the last book is going to be like too.
While I have mixed reviews of this book, I’m always happy to return back to Sookie’s world. “Deadlocked” gets 3.5 stars out of 5 from me.
It’s Alex Day! Battleship is out! (via @LuvBONESnTBlood)
I have read some seriously BAD reviews for the movie Battleship, but I don’t care. As I stated in a review on Flixster! I am only going for Alex so whether or not it has a plot, is dumb, boring, etc…It will only be me looking and watching his performance all the rest so be it! I’ve put a little gallery together of shots of Alex as Stone Hopper in Battleship and some promo shots of Alex…I know I can safely say that I will definitely ENJOY this movie…it also helps I’m a Liam Neeson fan so it’s good anyway!

The Grand Dames of True Blood? (via @TB_PamR)
Oh how the mighty have fallen! There was a time, believe it or not, when being a grand dame meant something. Not every woman, or even every matriarch, achieved grand dame status. Those who did wielded considerable influence and power in the world. The ladies who lunched were the keepers of tradition, arbiters of taste, dictators of polite society, patrons of the arts and rulers of their house. It’s a far cry from Rosalyn Harris and Caroline Bellefleur, though arguably that is the role intended for both.
We don’t know much about Rosalyn, she’s a season 5 arrival to Area 5. Reportedly she is a member of the Authority Council, with a fondness for big hair and pearls. None of which makes a grand dame, though the pearls help. Those elegant ladies would never have held a job, not even political office. Work was something men did. Looking at Rosalyn, I can’t help thinking of Betty Jo Pickard, that vampire with the fondness for Mamie Eisenhower that worked for Russell in the books. Except Rosalyn is much more Barbara Bush or even Maggie Thatcher than Mamie. You can bet she rules with an iron fist only occasionally concealed in a velvet evening glove. Then again, she is a vampire. Just not a grand dame.
Caroline should, by all rights, have been a grand dame. She certainly was in the books. Yet somehow Season 4 missed that mark. Maybe it was putting her in slacks. A lady of that age, grand dame or no, would never wear pants to dinner. A dinner party, even a small one with only a vampire as guest, definitely calls for a dress. She also seemed to lack authority, despite her best efforts, within her own home. Of course, one could attribute that to having one’s ancestor turn up a century or so after his human demise. That’s got to be a social challenge. Unfortunately, her lack of elegance and authority eliminate Caroline from the grand dame category, too.
It’s sad really. Grand dames are amazing creatures. They are also, obviously, rare and almost extinct. Which leaves me to wonder whether this is just a sign of the times or another, albeit subtle, example of Alan Ball’s misogyny?

Elixir – Eric’s blood
“I gave you a very generous gift. The gift of not killing you. And I’m here to give you something else. The healing elixir that is my 1000-year-old blood.”
“That’s enough. Don’t get greedy.”
“I thought you wanted to be a vampire. You know how you feel with my blood inside you? Well, being a vampire is like that… times a million. Goodbye, sweetheart.”

Don’t Cry, It’s Not That Bad (via @DarlingSookie)
This week we were lucky enough to be joined by Twitter’s very own @SassyJessOB on True Bites. The topic of the night was All About the Blood and we tore apart the latest teaser trailer, as well as discussed several of the blog entries from the Fang-A-Thon.
For the most part, we all agreed that we liked the latest trailer as a whole, but the fangs came out as we began dissecting several scenes. From Bill’s impending hook-up with the ancient Salome *rolls eyes* to what we really think we should expect from the Authority.
Feel free to head over and give it a listen: All About the Blood
True Bites returns Tuesday night at 8 pm CST with an all new episode entitled Don’t Cry, It’s Not That Bad.
Join @TB_PamR, @VampKingBill and myself (@DarlingSookie) as we discuss the bad choices in True Blood. From poor choices in wardrobe, casting and even character choices, we will be going over the things a lot of Truebies are thinkin’ louder than I can block out!
Also we will be discussing the latest SVM/TB news to help curb your TB Withdrawal.
#Fangathon2012 Day 8 (via @QueenFaeMab)
A tribute to my real life hometown of Lake Charles, LA First thing is the song titled Lake Charles by Lucinda Williams. I don’t recall this song being played on the show, but it’s on the True Blood soundtrack. It’s easily one of my favorites. LYRICS: He had a reason to get back to Lake Charles He used to talk about it, he’d just go on and on He always said Louisiana was where he felt at home He was born in Nacogdoches That’s in East Texas not far from the border But he liked to tell everybody he was from Lake Charles Did an angel whisper in your ear And hold you close and take away your fear In those long last moments? We used to drive through Lafayette and Baton Rouge In a yellow Camino listening to howling wolf He liked to stop in Lake Charles ‘Cause that’s the place he loved Did you run about as far as you could go? Down the Louisiana highway across Lake Ponchartrain Now your soul is in Lake Charles no matter what they say Did an angel whisper in your ear And hold you close and take away your fear In those long last moments? He had a reason to get back to Lake Charles He used to talk about it, he’d just go on and on He always said Louisianan was where he felt at home Did an angel whisper in your ear And hold you close and take away your fear In those long last moments? Did an angel whisper in your ear And hold you close and take away your fear In those long last moments? In those long last moments Second is one particular scene in season 3 is when Crystal Norris is in Hot Shot with Jason and she’s wearing a yellow t-shirt. If you look closely, her shirt reads: Lake Charles, LA and has a graphical design of the I-10 bridge. I was amazed to see her wearing it since True Blood has never filmed here and my city has never been mentioned on the show. I have looked and looked for her t-shirt, but never found it anywhere. ((This is the best photo I could take of my tv screen.))
Love in Bon Temps (via @mswriteok)
Bon Temps, like anywhere else on earth, has its problems, but one thing it doesn’t lack is love.
Yes, there is a lot of petty jealousies, feuds, spats and all out fights, but there never is any shortage of love (or even better, lust) in this tiny town.
Let’s start small and work our way up shall we?
Since Lafayette doesn’t exist past the first book, we’ll start with him. He has to deal with his grief at killing Jesus, and the probable death (in some form) of Tara before he can move on, and that may take some time for him. I’d say he’s probably out of the love department this season.
Andy Bellfleur is an unlikely candidate to be the object of anyone’s affection, but he finally scores big, both in the book and on the show. It takes quite awhile, but Detective Bellfleur finally lands a wife, Halleigh Robinson. They’re not yet married on the series, and in that universe, Andy has a late night tryst with a fairy. Perhaps we’ll see this season what happens there. Maybe there will be another human/fae hybrid in Bon Temps, giving Sookie someone else to protect from her fangy friends. In the book, Andy and Halleigh are expecting a daughter, to be named Caroline, after Andy’s grandmother.
Police officer Kenya has an officer boyfriend in the book, but she’s not so lucky on the series. I love the idea of the beautifully black Kenya living with her partner, shocking his white family, but love is love, and all lawmen need affection as much as, if not more, than everyone else.
Series lawman Jason has real women trouble on the series. He and Jessica are hot and heavy, causing poor Hoyt Fortenberry to lose both a girlfriend and a best friend. This season, it looks like he’s going to become a fangbanger. In the book, there is no Jessica, so Hoyt falls in love with another Merlotte’s waitress, Holly. She and her son fit nicely into his life in the book, and they are set to marry. Let’s hope he gets as lucky this season on the series.
But, back to Jason. In both universes, he’s had plenty of woman trouble. Some are dead, some left town and some simply keep their mouth shut about their time with Jason. In the book, Crystal is dead, he’s dating Michelle, and they are planning a backyard wedding with Sookie’s blessing.
Sam and Luna seem happy on the series, but it looks like this year will be a bad one for the shifter, as he as killed the Shreveport wolf pack leader. In the book, his luck is equally bad. He is dating Jannalynn, the enforcer of the Shreveport pack, and her fate is not a happy one. We’ll all have to wait and see what happens to him, both on the page and on the screen.
Bill Compton will always love Sookie, that’s a fact. He realizes he made a huge mistake by withholding the real reason he was sent back to his original home town, but will all his apologies ever make an impact on his former flame? He accidentally dated a distant great-granddaughter, tried to rekindle old relationships with both his maker and his vampire sister, and has probably tried to date all kinds of other women, but nothing will ever compare to the beautiful, blonde, telepathic Miss Stackhouse. I think he’s simply out of luck.
Pam presents an entirely different problem. She prefers the company of women, but has dated her share of men. In the book, the last woman she really loved died before Pam could turn her, and I think she is still really pissed off about that. On the series, she has a several relationships but none — except the one with her maker Eric — seem to matter to her. I am wondering if she’ll be the one to turn Tara in the Season 5 premiere June 10, and since Tara started batting for the home team, will those two form some kind of lasting relationship? That would be very interesting to me, and it would do Sookie good to have a best friend as a member of Eric’s family.
One never knows about Eric. Yes, he loves Sookie, but their relationship is left in the air in the book series, and who knows what’s in store for our two favorite blondes in the series this year? I wish he would have her bring him the ceremonial knife this season (fans of the book know what this means) because it was the most stable relationship Sookie has ever had.
Most of all, I want Sookie to be happy. I think that’s all any of us want, really, and it will be up to two different writers to her fate.
As for me, I simply love that both universes exist.
Fang-A-Thon Day 8: My Prized True Blood Possesion (via @VampKingBill)
The other I talked about a collectible you could buy, so for this post I thought I might talk about something you can’t and it’s my prized True Blood possession.
Between a signing at the Grove and the 2011 Paley Fest panel, I managed to snag myself a large portion of the cast, including Alex, Stephen, Anna, Sam, Kristin, Ryan, Joe, Debbie, Rutina, even Alan Ball. Sadly, Alex’s is in black because my silver sharpie fell and the crush was so strong and the crowd so dense that you couldn’t even see the floor let alone try to grab anything off of it. After those two events I managed to get Michael MacMillian to sign too. It makes me a happy fan girl. 
So share with me – what True Blood related item would you never give up?

MIA: Sookie’s cousin Hadley.
The last we saw of her, she introduced her telepathic son Hunter to Sookie. Will we see them again?

Day 8 #fangathon2012 Southern Vampire Mysteries vs The Mortal Instruments (via @SassyJessOB)
Day 8 and I’m starting to have a fangover, I’m running out of ideas for my posts and I wish I had Sookie Stackhouse’s number on speed dial so I could ask her what’s happening in Bon Temps, but sadly I don’t, I also don’t have Charlaine Harris’s number for any questions on what I could write so i have come up with this….
Sookie Stackhouse vs Clary Fray
This new blog updating is to warn you I’m a big fan of both and will be comparing the differences between two fantastic series. And how the southern vampire mysteries will top any book I have yet to see beat them.
Sookie Stackhouse, she’s part Fairy and has luscious blonde hair, she’s twenty eight and after the last book Deadlocked we see Sookie officially own one third of Merlottes (but I’m not telling you how). As the books develop we see Sookie become such a strong character.
Sookie lives in a small town of Louisiana, she’s a cocktail waitress, she doesn’t go out much… Not because she’s not pretty but because she isn’t a big fan of her disability or as what we know her telepathic ability.
Sookie stands out with her telepathic ability and it’s something Clary doesn’t have, we also see how Sookie befriends vampires, wear wolves and other wear animals and also shifters where as clary most of the time is fighting the supernatural world including also her own kin the shadow hunters.
The one thing Sookie and Clary have in common is that they both have a supernatural best friend, Sookie has her boss and best friend Sam who is a shifter and Clary has her best friend/newly turned vampire Simon.
However why does Southern Vampire Mysteries triumph over The Mortal Instruments?
I’ll tell you why, as The Mortal Instruments is based on a 15 year old perspective however like twilight, Clary’s best friend Simon is known as a ‘daylighter’ so yeah…. The vampire can walk in the sun and it’s not like the Vampire diaries where they have to wear a special ring, I’m mean genuinely this guy named Simon can walk in the sun without burned and lives on animal blood.
Clary fray is an ordinary Brooklyn teenager till she meets the half angel half human person named Jace, who turns out to be a shadow hunter, when clary finds out her mother jocelyn has been abducted she desperately hopes Jace will be able to help. Clary too realises she’s got the powers of a shadow hunter as well but can she harness them in time to save her mother?
So as making that major point even though the mortal instruments my second favourite series nothing beats traditional vampires, I like the thought of vampires coming out in the evening and being awake through the night, vampires are not able to walk in the sun.
Alan ball then bought it all in to perspective with the first series of True Blood which I adore and it all took off.
Sookie’s world is supernatural and chilling in some moments but with it being in adult perspective we see the complications of relationships when were adults that we can all relate to, we see some kick ass action scenes and some full on mind blowing sex scenes.
So from reading both books and all of them from the series, the southern vampire mysteries will top my book shelf and be number 1 any day. I adore Sookie and would love to have her as a best friend.
And on my shelves currently the southern vampire mysteries is the first thing I’ll reach for in the mood of a good read. I can read them any day and never get bored!

23 More Nights Till The Blood Flows (via @TBconfid)
Big Dick Richie: We literally cannot handle the perfection that is Joe Manganiello. And sure, we’ve practically seen it all on True Blood but never before dressed as a firefighter! The always abtastic Mr. Mang has only the briefest of cameos in the trailer—as he flips a female fan and ends up hurting his back—but it was enough to make us say “Alcide who?!” We’re just hoping his alter ego’s nickname might have something to do with point No. 1 on this list…From Ted C at Eonline
Alan Ball is working on a new movie via Variety– Elizabeth Banks will topline dark comedy “What’s the Matter With Margie?” with filming set to start early next year in Los Angeles. Banks will portray a downtrodden office-worker who finally snaps and resorts to murder as a solution to her problems.

Sookie’s Wardrobe, Hot or Not? (via @Aly_x)
We see Sook prance around in a huge variety of different outfits so I figured we’d play a little hot or not! I’m curious as to what everyone else thinks! Of course this is only a slack handful of all the clothes she owns, I would be here forever if I had to give my opinion on each outfit!
NOT – No bra = zero support
HOT – Anna Paquin + yellow = flawless
NOT – The virgin dress of doom
HOT – Lavender + Plunging neckline = ‘I’m in no mood for lesbian weirdness tonight, Pam’
HOT – She can rock a uniform
NOT – Bye bye classiness, hello tramp!
NOT – I don’t even remember what episode this is from, but I want to burn that hideous dress…
NOT – I wanna burn this one (pun SERIOUSLY not intended….)
HOT – OMG YES. I want this so badly! Trash Couture, for those who want one to 😉
HOT – ‘Vampire bait’ + I think you’ll find Eric agrees with this one, he did scan her twice 😉
HOT CUTE – Southern belle
HOT/NOT – Yellow cardigan? Yes. Denim dress? No.
HOT – Sook can rock leather and so can Eric. Coincidence? I think not.
And my personal guilty pleasure from her wardrobe, the one item I wish to God I could own and look fabulous in?………
So there you have it! Thoughts, opinions, your personal favourite etc? I’d love to hear them ^_^
True Blood Fan Favorite Moment: Death Winner (via @DarlingSookie)
HBO and True Blood have been askin’ for the fans to vote on their favorite True Blood moments.
This week’s winner was the infamous ‘Godric meeting the sun’ scene from Season 2. Now, as a fan of the books and the show, I can tell you, I was surprised by how much this scene touched me.
In the books, Godfrey (aka Godric) is a young 16-ish lookin’ vampire who preys on young children for sex and blood. There are some similarities between Godfrey and Godric. Both have come to the end of their undeaths with a somewhat remorseful heart. Though I say that as Sookie sees it, to them, they are not worthy of forgiveness and may truly not feel as if what they feel is truly remorse.
Of course, Godric’s biggest deviation is being Eric’s Maker. I suppose this was a good cover, especially since they had deviated with who killed Long Shadow in season one. This was a way of puttin’ Eric directly into Sookie’s line of sight and showin’ a more vulnerable side to the Viking Vampire that is not really demonstrated in the book series.
This week’s Fan Favorite Moment is Blood.
The blood scenes you can choose are as follows:
- Lafayette uses a metal hip to try to free himself
- Eric tricks Sookie into drinking his blood
- Bill feeds on Sookie and walks in the sun
- Sookie discovers she doesn’t have blood type
- Russell rips out a man’s spine on live TV
- Maryann serves Tara and Eggs a heart soufflé
Still haven’t voted yet? Never fear, voting is open all week and can be done here.
Only 30 days until the return of True Blood! Waitin’ Sucks, but not for much longer!
If I were a shifter like Sam…. (via @JBDuRoneTB)
I’d spend a large amount of time as an American buffalo!
Surprised you there, huh? Did you think lions,tigers or hares? Well, I’ve never been accused of being conventional or boring. Here’s just another example. I’d strut around Bon Temps as the resident Bayou Buffalo
Those beasts impressed the hell out of me on a trip I took last year to Yellowstone. Not only are they friggin’ huge, they look ferocious, intimidating and lethal. Unless you’re dumb enough to annoy one, they consider humans to be insignificant and beneath their consideration. In fact, MOST things in their environment are insignificant and beneath their consideration.Buffaloes don’t walk, they lift their hooves and the world moves under them.
I once watched one stride into a geyser pool where the temperature was reported to be over 180F. It entered to a depth over its hooves. He/she/it reached the other side and wallowed in acidic mud. After rising it looked over at our group, turned around and farted in our general direction. Those things are badass!
We haven’t had much in the way of badass were creatures on TB yet. The Weres seem mostly good at snarling and getting their butts kicked by Vamps. Felton, the were-panther, was taken out by Tarzan/Jason; they can’t be that bad ass.
A were-buffalo would tidy things up in Bon Temps pretty well. Bar fight in Merlottes? Buffalo Bouncer would end it before it started. Maenad wonder through town again? A buffalo could take her out before she did her first shaky-epileptic thing. Talbot having a hissy fit? Puh-lease…
And when the job is done? Buffalo gals can’t you come out tonight….
Fang-A-Thon Night 8 perfect song for E&S (via @FangbangerEst89)
wow 8 lol. i almost thought it was 7 again lmao.
The perfect song for eric and sookie is maroon 5′s Move like Jagger. Why? look at the history of eric and sookie. it goes so perfectly well.
eric is very controlling and does it so sexily. sookie well she is very blunt and upfront but come on deep inside before her eric she wanted eric and she had to have thought in her head hmm….what is he like?
- Sookie, yield to me!
- “When you smell like that,” he said, “I just wanna f*** you, and bite you, and rub myself all over you
- Eric: “Well, aren’t you sweet” .Sookie: “Not really.”
- If you have anything to ask, you should ask it of me.
- Sookie: “I am his.” Eric: “What a pity for me.”
- Eric: “Are you Quinn’s?” Sookie: “I am my own.”
