Of COURSE it's Sookie's fault you silly Minty! GOD! HONESTLY! What's wrong with you? If Sookie hadn't been so nice and just left Bill to be drained none of this would have happened. It's TOTALLY her fault.
I'm sorry, but if you're not looking out for number one then everything that happens to you is just desserts.
(Currently my skin is crawling from reading that back and realising I've actually read something very similar several times over - people suck)
Lol - yeah, I've seen that written too. People do totally suck. It never surprises me just how much Sookie is to blame for. Possibly the next time I stub my toe, I shall shout out "Fucking Sookie!" She probably had something to do with it. :D
Oh Minty! again you get it wrong! Your stubbed toe is because you clearly failed to follow the instructions of your husband and protector. You must have done something against a man's strict word, otherwise the world would not be punishing teaching you a valuable lesson in humility.
You are right. I need to learn those lessons most desperately. I need Mr. Minty to become Mr. Monster and monster me all day (and night) long so I can stop thinking for myself. I am shamed that I'm so stubborn that I don't listen to his beauteous mansplaining. :(
Just love reading your posts. LOL about Mr.PMR's supernatural powers. If Eric never introduced Niall,would Claudine still be around? Still be her fairy godmother? (I know Claudine was hanging out with Tara first). Would Niall track down Sookie himself?
Mr. Minty has wonderful powers. I left the house by myself this week lots of times, and he had it covered.
I don't think Claudine would have been around at all if there were no vampires. No need to give a wannabe angel to someone who's greatest danger is that the library will be closed this weekend. I think the only thing that would have happened to her without Eric in her life would be Jason, the werepanthers and the shifters being shot. Niall wouldn't be able to risk meeting Sookie without a go-between like Eric, so I doubt Lochlan and Neave would ever have abducted her. Killed her, sure, like they did with Crystal and her parents, but that's it.
He is - but that's what makes him essential for the story. Without the Eric shitstorm sweepstakes, it's all very boring. Plus, his other purpose is to get Sookie to talk about herself in very clever ways. Eric challenges Sookie in a way no other character does.

Right here in River City! With a capital "T," that rhymes with "E," that stands for Eric. (Okay well it doesn't really work...but I do have the chorus running through my head with the townspeople repeating 'trouble, trouble, trouble' over and over.)
And just how did Alcide meet Sookie? Why yes, that would be through Eric.
I'm glad you've cleared this all up, now I know who I should blame for all the world's problems..and stubbing my toe. And also for the bonus great mental image I now have of Eric holding a boom box outside of Sookie's house.
What about a paper cut? Is she fair game for that too?!?
Re: Trouble - Oh we got trouble,peppermintyroseMarch 27 2013, 14:37:30 UTC
I think Shreveport has a river, right? Bossier City is *across* the river, so it must have one nearby. And that man is certainly trouble.
Lol - yep - he's responsible for that. Damn his hide. At least he thinks Alcide is scum. :D
I couldn't resist it. It's such a cheesy image that never happens to the suave Eric. He's always doing something swoon-worthy in most fanfic, as if he's the most romantic guy that ever bought himself a good romantic gesture. But his romance is much more clumsy and practical. And I always like to imagine him waggling his expressive eyebrows under that boombox.
Sookie is to blame for everything, you should know that. Chick caused global warming AND the black plague AND the GFC. She just won't sit off to the side and do as she's told. She persists in acting like she's a real person, instead of that poor species that copies the magnificent man - the "woman".

Oh yes - that would also be another ff staple, the uber expressive eyebrow move/waggle/lift/furrow. You name it, Eric's brow does it ... at least in ff!
I can't help but wonder...do you think he manscapes them at all?!? Maybe he's really got a unibrow that he obsessively plucks every night? That's what he's been so busy doing and not calling/visiting Sookie...he's too busy plucking! And that too would be Sookie's fault...but you can't blame a girl for liking a good set of groomed brows.
I didn't think it was possible, but now I like the boom box image even more! LOL!
Re: Trouble - Oh we got trouble,peppermintyroseMarch 29 2013, 09:54:19 UTC
Which is lucky, because the only expression his mouth seems to do is smirk. I fucking *hate* smirking, which is partly condescending and all smug. I don't know why anyone would find a smirk sexy. It makes me want to punch him in the mouth.
I think Book Eric probably has at least a few hairs in a monobrow, since he's unlikely to have groomed obsessively before death, and I do not see Appius having a pair of tweezers on hand. Also, Sookie comments on Peter Threadgill's shaped eyebrows, and how oppositional it is to the other men she knows, so he probably doesn't manscape at all.
Henceforth, he should be imagined with a hairy caterpillar of a monobrow, waggling like crazy beneath his boombox. :D And it to be Sookie's fault she doesn't take his shame away. :D
It’s a collusion between the author and her main character-CH and Sookie conspiring to screw up Eric.
But yes, it’s a very good point how Eric handles his feelings. My son-at around age five-used to crash onto the sofa and generally throw himself around the house when he didn’t understand an unpleasant feeling. Poor little guy just needed some extra TLC. But Eric…Sookie has it right by standing up to him and causing him more trouble.
Twilight spillover? I have been so irritated by CH & Sookie hate lately that that feels like a generous interpretation. Show me some pitchforks, please. ;) JanineMNM
I just *knew* he was the victim somehow of evil wimmens.
Lol. I remember being blamed by my 4 year old for his tripping over. I was all standing in close proximity and not saving him from falling on the floor. Which was often, since he was a giant gangly child who once - to my eternal hilarity - tripped over his own legs. But he would blame the person nearest him and yell at them. Even if they were 3 feet away and looking the other way. :D
It is a generous interpretation, but that's the main culprit. Plus, this fandom has forever been trying to pin the blame on a woman. Freyda is totally to blame for the marriage, and Appius is off scot free. No one making fun of him, or calling him lovesick and weakening his character. He just gets strengthened. *Sigh*
You'd think so, but no. I've read it more times than I can count, and I happened to drop into a forum recently and read all about how Sookie was "to blame" for all the trouble she caused. Like the fact that she caused Quinn to be injured at Rhodes - like *she* was the reason he was there in the first place - not the fucking vampires who ordered both of them there. And despite the fact that she saved his arse at Rhodes, that one didn't really count. Presumably because it was a woman giving him such vital intel to get out of the hotel, and not get crushed to death.

Apparently I was wrong. Silly CH for thinking she doesn't have to spell things out for readers.
