Her Felipe's Futures
There's spoilers out about who the HEA is on the net. What a perfect day for it too - it's ANZAC Day in Australia, which meant that I was home to read all about it, and my sons have friends over, so I can post at length. I'm going to talk about them in this post. Linkage and details under the cut. Don't venture under the cut if you don't want to be ( Read more... )

Here the bookstores won't sell the books until three weeks after it's published. Thank all the gods for Kindle.
I'd seen two episodes of TB when I hooked up on a TB fan forum (oh yeah) and talked to someone who sent me all the books. I didn't even know about the books until then.
Sookie never could do that. Never!
Oh, I've seen plenty of people angry at Eric - and with good reason.
I couldn't agree more and that really pisses me off. He never deserved her in the first place and she gave her heart (and blood, sweat and tears) to him. Fucking asshole and I'm not pardening my language. I almost don't want to read the book because I can't bare more pain for Sookie. I will read it and keep my fingers crossed that she will end up happy, though.
Not going there now ;-)

Oh, that would kill me! I couldn't stand that wait.
I've seen a lot of apologies for him, and accusations of rape based on nothing.
I've gotten more spoilers, and I guarantee I'm going to be in a towering rage at Eric. Lol.

If she did, this is incredibly detailed thinking. But based on further evidence, it seems to be true.
I must know as early as possible. I'll take the hit to my wallet if I can know. If I had a German friend, I'd probably be begging them for a full translation by now. Lol.
That Freyda is raping him, and he's been sold into slavery. Like apparently he can make his own deals, strike his own contract and completely forgot to indemnify himself against rape. It's stupid. But get one person who hates the books and the author, and then get them to put an idea in someone's mind, and you've got a devil of a time getting it out of the stupid shared opinion.
I'm poised to just see all of his arsehole tendencies come to the fore - rejection and Eric don't go well together.

Ah. That sounds a bit silly. He`s 800 years older than she is. I`m not sure she could even do that. And it does fit Eric`s MO to say yes to this deal. After all, he is counting on another 1000 years on this planet. Sookie is a piece of dust in the long run. At least in his opinion.
No, they don`t. And now I feel a bit sad for Sookie for ever falling for him.

She probably couldn't. And I doubt that she wants to. Otherwise she wouldn't keep trying to lure him - she'd just get 10 vampires to haul him home on the back of her truck. She wants to be wanted.
He had value and worth. Apart from what he taught her about how politics works, he also kept her alive in the fairy war, and bought her many things that tided her over. He was some good and some bad - some of that bad is yet to come.
Reply
Which isn`t very odd. I suppose even vampires want to be wanted.
Yeah, but his good certainly came in a big bad package. I don`t agree with the Eric fans who claim that he only turned bad in the last book(s). He certainly wasn`t a Mr. Sweetiepie at any point.
I still like Eric as a character. He has depth and one can see where he`s coming from. But I do wish that Sookie could have been spared his special brand of pain - just like I wish she could have been spared Bill`s. Now I`m kind of glad she had the whole Quinn experience. Yes, Quinn chose his family over Sookie but that`s kind of understandable. He was never cruel to her and he saw her worth.

Well of course. But the assumption just leaps to rape.
I don't think he was Mr. Sweetiepie - good lord knows I of all people don't. But they didn't want to take note of his bad qualities before, and they certainly don't want to now.
I still like Eric too - no matter how mad I am at him for what he might do to Sookie. I can certainly understand his selfishness and practicality. I wouldn't want to stay around Felipe waiting for the axe to drop either. I think though that while I wish the pain didn't exist, I think that neither Eric nor Bill did anything approaching the level of Neave and Lochlan.

Well, sure because that`s the only way a woman who is not Sookie is ever going to get Eric.
I just don`t understand how anyone could have skipped his death threats or his stupid behavior when rejected.
Yeah, but Neave and Lochlan were never her boyfriends. I can`t be sure but I would think that being betrayed by someone you love must hurt more than by true villains. Or at least it must hurt in a different way.
Reply
Lol - I hadn't thought of that idea. Probably because it does not come from a wellspring of logic.
It was just joking, though! He's a funny guy with the torture and the death threats. Plus he wouldn't do it if she didn't *make* him by not leaping to her Master's command.
I have no doubt that it would hurt. But maybe it would make the both of them easier if you knew that's how vampires roll. They're all for you until they're not, and they'll look out for their best interests. So as Pam says, so should Sookie.
Reply
It's you who aren't logical. He waited 1000 years for her and can never love again.
What I resent the most is actually the way he gave her the broom after the Mickey incident.
That doesn't help Sookie any more than it helps women who fall in love with a married man and five years later realize he'll never leave his wife. Yes, they know what they were about but there was still hope and noe it's gone
Reply
Lol - and he loves her more than his kids.
He was probably protecting her against glass shards by making her sweep them up. Or something. But yeah - that was not nice. Hence why I made a picture about how awful that was.
I don't mean the actual incident will help her - merely her previous experience with a similar incident. After all, the torture didn't "help" her either, but I was okay with that happening. It would be unfair to expect her to get happier and happier.
