2/23 Quopic of the day

Posted on by

For most True Blood and Sookie Stackhouse Novels fans our viking vampire, Eric Northman, seems to be the perfect male specimen who is fantastically good at everything he does. He’s tall, blonde, handsome, strong, witty, loyal, can keep a girl smiling all night long and could dispose of your enemies for you before you have time to even finish a sentence. However as Sookie discovered in Dead as a doornail Eric is not quite perfect ………

“Eric moved the broom experimentally and made an attempt to sweep the glass into the pan while it lay in the middle of the floor. Of course, the pan slid away. Eric scowled.
I’d finally found something Eric did poorly.”

Eric Northman, ridiculously gorgeous, slightly confused by a pan and broom!

So there you go, Eric would be completely rubbish at doing the housework for you. It’s a good bet that he’s not that great with a washing machine or tidying out the cupboard under the stairs either. (That actually reminds us of quite a few real men we know). We are sure Sookie doesn’t care, and neither would we, particularly with all his other talents!

Can anyone think of anything else that our viking vampire isn’t very good at, as quite honestly we are struggling with that one.

2/20 Quopic – Season 4, episode 3

Posted on by

True Blood Season 4 is now in full swing in the UK and last night in episode 3 “If you love me, why am I dyin’?” there was a further Eric Northman treat for the viewers, yet another side to everyone’s favorite viking – cute, adorable Eric.

Here at E&SL, we actually don’t think it was physically possible for him to be any cuter or more adorable. Who wouldn’t want to take him home and take good care of him?  So poor Sookie has our sympathy in today’s quopic trying (and failing) to tell him off.

“You just killed my fairy god-mother”.

“Sorry”.

To be fair to Sookie, she did try to send him to his room in the next episode!

This was the third episode in a row that ended with an Eric and Sookie scene, obviously the producers of the show knew which story-line would leave the viewers begging for more.

What did you think of cute, adorable Eric? Let us know below.

2/16 Quopic – Season 4 revisited

Here in the UK we were (legally) treated to Season 4, episode 2 this week. It is without doubt a great Eric Northman episode. From his saucy kitchen exchange with Sookie to his sarcastic bowing to the unworthy king, from his grand entrance into The Moon Goddess Emporium to his dazed and confused wandering down the side of the road. It’s all so good. And let’s not forget Sookie either, her reaction to Eric’s unauthorized cubby building is one of her season highlights. So just how are we to choose a single quopic from this episode?

Well, on the same night True Blood aired, the British Film Academy gave their highest award, Best Film, to a silent movie (The Artist), which just goes to show that sometimes something can be so good you don’t need to speak at all. So here is our first (and possibly last) silent Quopic.

And whilst we are on the subject of something so good it doesn’t need words, the award for the season’s most awesomely incredible acting goes to this gentleman here

Alexander Skarsgard proving that there are some actors who, without even uttering a word, are so good they can make a scene completely perfect.

Don’t forget to let us know in the comments what you remember from episode 2, do you agree it was a great episode for the viking?

Valentine’s Day Quopic

Posted on by

It’s February 14th, the most romantic day of the year, and our quopics today don’t really need an explanation. If one thing is for sure though in Sookie Stackhouse’s crazy world it is that Eric loves Sookie and Sookie loves Eric. It’s right there on the page and there is nothing anyone else can do about it. So let the viking vampire and telepathic fairy waitress love begin.

“Are you still mad?” I said, trying not to cry. Weeping would be craven, and I was forcing myself some steel into my backbone.

“Do you still love me?” he asked.

“You first”. Childish.

“I’m not angry”, he said. “At least, not anymore. At least not right now. I should have encouraged you to find a way to break the bond, and in fact we have a ritual for it. I should have offered it to you. I was afraid that without it we would be parted, whether because you didn’t want to be dragged into my troubles or because Victor found you were vulnerable. If he chooses to ignore the marriage, without the bond I won’t know that you are in danger”.

“I should have asked you what you thought, or at least warned you what we were going to do”, I said. I took a deep breath. “I do love you, all on my own”.

Dead Reckoning

“Sookie…….Tell her I was born the night she found me and because of her I went to my true death knowing what it means to love. Tell her thank you”.

I wish I was the moon tonight

 “I won’t forget the day we met or the day we kissed. The sky may fall and the stars may too, but in the end, I will still love you …”

Happy Valentine’s Day Eric and Sookie lovers!

With New York Fashion Week in full swing, a girl’s mind can’t help but turn to the greatest male model of them all.

But just which of the True Blood characters would have been most at home this week, strutting their stuff on the cat-walk and sipping gratuitous amounts of orange mocha frappuccino?

Of course it can only be a man so overwhelmed by the sight of beauty that he couldn’t see the vengeful viking warrior king from the walking personification of gorgeous that stood before him.

“Hello, have we met”

“Eric Northman, Sheriff Louisiana Area 5, come to see the king”

“Talbot royal consort, permit me to facilitate”

Poor old Talbot, he was doomed from the start, but I do kind of miss him and his exquisite taste in decor. Anyone else have fond memories of Russell’s toy-boy? Did he really deserve to be emptied down the drain in such an unbecoming manner?

2/8 Quopic of the day – Nancy Oliver

Today is the birthday of one of our favorite True Blood writers, Nancy Oliver. A woman responsible not only for the greatest episode of the show EVER, season 2 “I will rise up”, but also for one of the absolute highlights of last season – Drunk Amnesic Eric. Here at Eric & Sookie headquarters we are more than a little fraught that Nancy’s name has not yet appeared as one of the writers for the first half of season 5, but fingers crossed her writing pen will grace the second half with its trademark emotional punch.

As Nancy is so damned good – I’m cheating today and it’s a double quopic!

“There’s gators in there you crazy viking, get on out and let’s go home before  one of them chomps off your you know what”.

—————————————————

“You’ll care for him, Eric?”

“I’m not sure, you know how he is”

“I can take the blame for that too”

“Maybe not, Eric’s pretty much himself. Are you afraid?”

“No, no I’m full of joy”

We hope you have a wonderful birthday Nancy, and thanks for all the amazing True Blood moments you have given us!

Let us know how you rate Nancy Oliver’s writing in the comments below.

2/7 Quopic – Season 4 revisited

Being a native of the UK I have made it my mission to find a quopic from each episode of True Blood season 4 over the next 12 weeks as it finally legally airs over here. Will 6 months have dulled the pain? Will I be able to look at it more constructively? Well one thing is for sure, I enjoyed episode one the other night, there’s some good stuff in there that I had all but forgotten about. And by good stuff of course I mean good Eric stuff. Sure, Bill Compton bugged the hell out of me, but that’s nothing new, he’s done that since the night his mournful, lying face first appeared in Bon Temps.

It was a hard call. Eric’s sexy public service address was completely inspired in the way it was interwoven with Bill’s smarmy political speech. I certainly know which one I would trust if my life depended on it. And the final scene in Sookie’s bedroom is one of the sexiest scenes in True Blood EVER. Just don’t get me started on the growl, because if I start I won’t stop.

In the end I’ve gone for Eric and Sookie meeting up again for the first time, after her return from the land of fairy-fail. Eric calmly tells Sookie and the audience what the state of play has been whilst she was away.

Understand this – everyone who claims to love you, your friends, your brother, even Bill Compton, they all gave up on you. I never did.

Yes, Sookie do listen to him (of course she will) Jason has moved on and sold the house, Andy has moved on and didn’t get his plaque (ok perhaps he didn’t love her but I like the plaque bit), Alcide, we will discover, has moved on and moved Debbie back in, and as for Bill, he’s been so busy participating in the cold-blooded assassination of his reigning monarch, and sexing up his wiccan spy, he’s probably hardly noticed she was gone. Eric of course, not only bought her house so she would have a home to return to, but from the clues we are given, has been spending an awful lot of his time there patiently waiting for her return.

Oh and then there’s his exit line.

Don’t forget to let us know what you thought were the highs and lows of episode one, or is it all just a dull blur these days?

One of the many, many, many things we love about our favorite viking is his magical ability to enter and exit a scene in the most dramatic and sexy way. Picture the scene in All together dead – Sookie is stood holding what she at first believed was just an innocent can of Dr Pepper, she is unable to put it down for fear of blowing up the entire building, the bomb squad are on their way and everyone’s least favorite were-tiger Quinn is chastising our girl for trying to be a martyr for the vampires.

“Ha,” I said. “Oh, ha-ha. Yeah, ’cause they love me. You see how many vampires are up here? Zero, right?”


“One,” said Eric, stepping out of the stairwell.

“We’re bound a bit too tightly to suit me Sookie”. He was visibly tense; I couldn’t remember ever seeing Eric so notably anxious. “I’m here to die right along with you, it seems”.

Poor old Quinn, like all the rest of the wannabes, against the viking he never really stood a chance.

Well tonight’s the night that HBO begins it’s marketing campaign for True Blood Season 5, with a short graphic tease. Will it be “The season of the whatever”? Or a cryptic clue to the upcoming pack wars story-line that no one gives a flying fig about? Or will it actually be something that can get us all tingling in anticipation? Whatever it is, if it ain’t viking, then we can at least use our quopic of today from our baby vamp Jesse, who of course uttered those immortal words:

Oh, You are so not Eric

Let’s face cold hard vampire facts here, the vast majority of the audience will not be watching season 5 for the shifty shifters or the weary weres, or even the frolicking fairies, however the season is marketed, it will be the fangs that keep the audience interested, and one prime set of fangs in particular. I calmly predict that Season 5 will once again be owned by our very own viking vampire god Eric Northman.

The Season of the Viking again!

Will we be lucky tonight and get something Eric in the teaser?

Don’t forget to let us know what you think when you have seen it!

Time for some sexy, seductive Eric for our Saturday quopic. The viking and his Sookie spend a quality moment at Fangtasia in the Charlaine Harris short story Dracula Night.

 

Eric claimed me for a slow dance, and though he was clearly distracted by thoughts of what the night might hold – Dracula wise – he made my toenails quiver.

“Some night” he whispered, “there’s going to be nothing else but you and me”.

When the song was over, I had to go back to the table and have a long, cold drink. Lots of ice.

And who can blame her, in fact a bucket of ice over your head might be more appropriate to recover from a slow dance with the viking.

 

1/27: Quopic of the Day

Today’s Quopic of the Day was inspired by the Word of the Day from Yahoo! Education. We hope you enjoy it!

Word of the Day is: divulge

Definition: to reveal

Synonyms: tattle, reveal, let out, disclose, uncover

There is one Eric and Sookie scene in particular, which we can best use to define this word!

Check it out in the Quopic of the Day for January 27th!

You may remember Eric divulged pertinent information about Bill, which was kept secret from Sookie. These secrets were horrifying, shocking, and (at the time) made us think there was NO WAY Sookie would EVER forgive Bill for his manipulations, lies and betrayal.

This was the cliffhanger that left all of us buzzing with anticipation for season 4. True Blood is based on the books, right? Personally, I think Alan Ball did get one thing right. He made Bill more evil than Charlaine ever did in the books. And I know something about being evil! ;)

But as we now know…he changed that too, by having Sookie forgive Bill for his misdeeds. It kind of makes it pointless for Eric to have divulged this information to begin with.

The gorgeous quopic below in currently doing the rounds on facebook but we wanted to make sure that not a single Sookie and Eric lover missed it. The quote is, of course, from Dead as a Doornail, and the accompanying pictures are from Cold Grey Light of Dawn. All the hard work has been done by missford1.tumblr.com. So a great big viking thank you to her.

Unfortunately the writers of True Blood have already seen to it that we will never get to see the great DAAD scene on the show. Another great Sookie and Eric moment that has been stolen from us, as I’m pretty damned sure Anna and Alex would have knocked this one out of the park.

WARNING: Hot, naked people follow this:

 

Well in True Blood Eric already knows it was the best he ever had, we just need Sookie to get a reality check now and hopefully their love story can progress in season 5. Fingers crossed.

1/22 QUOPIC 100 days to DEADLOCKED

That’s right folks, just 100 days until Sookie and Eric lovers across the globe kick out the cat, take the phone off the hook and settle down to devour the further adventures and romance of our favorite blonde waitress and her viking vampire sweetheart. Are we getting nervous yet or are we completely confident that Charlaine Harris will pull a future fan favorite out of the bag? To make our quopic today a little bit different in celebration, below are 5 quotes from the Sookie novels (all chapter endings) and you have to guess which book they are from. It’s just for fun and to get your brain working on a Sunday morning, and the answers are after the page jump.

  1. And though I would not have thought it was possible to go to sleep holding hands with a vampire, that’s exactly what I did.
  2. It was time to get this assassination party started. I’d think about other deaths later.
  3. I slipped into the dark house and shut the door in Bill’s face.
  4. Ignoring everything my brain was trying to tell me, ignoring the beginning of a bellow from Eric, I opened the front door and got hit with a ton of bricks.
  5. “You are bullshitting me, Sookie”, he mumured. “but I’ll show you some A-one lovemaking. Because I think you can come again”. As it turned out I could.

1/21: Quopic of the Day

This Quopic of the Day started off being for January 20th, but since it’s so late (thanks to the difficult task of deciding on which pic to use), we figured we’d make it for both January 20th and 21st!

This Quopic was inspired by the Word of the Day from the Merriam Webster Dictionary!

The Word of the Day is: darling

Definition:

  1. a dearly loved person
  2. favorite

Synonyms: pet, dear, favorite, beloved

As soon as I read this word, I remembered that Eric called Sookie, “Darling” in one of the episodes of True Blood! Can you remember which one? This Quopic of the Day will help you remember!

Check out the Quopic of the Day for January 21st below!

Eric: “Everybody thinks you’re a darling, don’t they?”

Sookie: “I AM a darling.”

Eric: “Yeah, but you’re ruthless when it comes to the people you love. You’d do anything for them. Your brother, your friends…me.”

~ True Blood: Season 2; Episode 9 – “I Will Rise Up”

Here’s something you don’t know. This screencap was reported on Facebook for being too pornographic. Eric Northman Lovers United (who provided this picture) told us. We’re not sure who reported it, but we did have it on posted on our Facebook page, but now it’s gone. We’ve said it before…we’ll say it again. Eric and Sookie are just too hot for Facebook! LOL We’ve had some photos reported and deleted as well!

But look at that tongue action! Who wants to be in Sookie’s place in this pic?

Okay, all of you darlings, feel free to share your thoughts about this episode and scene below!

Today’s Quopic is dedicated to Anja who reminded us earlier this week of the merits of a viking vampire god in a grey suit.

You have to admit he wears it very,very well.

Was this one of your favorite viking attires?

Let us know what other outfits we should be paying homage to.

1/17 QUOPIC OF THE DAY

Ok so who hasn’t spent at least some part of the last 24 hours fawning over a Scandinavian man in a suit? Today it’s time to take it to the next level and that can only mean one thing, a Scandinavian man in a tuxedo. Thankfully Charlaine Harris is way ahead of us and she already put a certain  someone in one in her short story “Dracula Night”. So take it away Sookie Stackhouse.

I had to gape, he looked positively edible. Eric is very tall, very broad, very blonde, and tonight he was dressed in a tuxedo that did not come off any rack, the tux has been made for Eric and he looked as good as any James Bond in it. Black cloth without a spec of lint, a snowy white shirt, and a hand tied bow at his throat, with his beautiful hair rippling down his back……

“James Blonde” I muttered.

Eric’s eyes were blazing with excitement. Without a word he dipped me as though we were dancing and planted a hell of a kiss on me: lips, tongue, the entire osculant assemblage. Oh boy oh boy oh boy. When I was quivering he assisted me to rise. His brilliant smile revealed glistening fangs. Eric had enjoyed himself.

Will we ever get to see Eric in a tuxedo in True Blood?

We can but live in hope.

Whilst naturally we always enjoy a good old fashioned  Bill Bashing, we don’t want Sookie’s other potential suitors to feel left out so we decided it was about time Alcide took his rightful place in our Quopic of the Day. And where better to start with than Sookie’s reaction when she finds a naked wolf in her bed after returning home from a little viking loving in DEAD RECKONING.

So here’s to you Alcide.

So what, you just decided to sack out here and seduce me when I walked in the door? Home from spending the night at my boyfriend’s? After having sex with him that could go in the Guinness Book of Records?

Mmm record breaking sex, now that reminds me…………

Now be a good wolfy Alcide, and shut the door on your way out please!

Today is Friday the 13th!!!!

What would make a great Quopic of the Day for a day like this?  Well…it won’t be pretty. Probably scary. Most likely it’s a terrifying, horrible sight!

Since that obviously doesn’t describe Eric and/or Sookie…you’ll have to guess who!

WARNING: This Quopic is extremely scary! Please cover your eyes and turn off your monitor, if it becomes too disturbing to you!

Are you ready? Grab your blindfold and have a barf bag handy…

Here’s the Quopic of the Day for Friday, January 13th!

*screams* I’m scared…*ducks underneath the bed*

Oh, look…it’s that punk…Queen Beehl! What a scary sight! Between his spiked hair and his fake fangs…he’s one freaky-looking Queen, that’s for sure! All that’s missing from this pic, is his crown!

Oh wait…there it is!

1/11: Quopic of the Day

Today’s Quopic of the Day was inspired by wanting (and needing) to remember some of the things we love about Eric and Sookie’s relationship on True Blood!

We’ve been dwelling too much on all the negative things for awhile, but we must remember some of the good things as well!

Here’s hoping you’ll remember this with great fondness and appreciation! Sometimes True Blood DID get some things right when it came to Eric and Sookie!

Ready or not, here’s the Quopic of the Day for January 11th!

Eric: “You’d adapt, like we all do. Trade the sun for the moon and the stars.”

Sookie: “Uh-uh, not me. I want ‘em all.”

Eric: (chuckles) “Greedy.”

Sookie: “Yeah, I am.”

Eric: “Love it.”

~True Blood Season 2; Episode 9

Can’t say how many times I’ve watched this scene over and over and over again, but if there’s one thing I loved most – it shows the pillow talk we all love from the books. Not to mention the fact that all it took was a few drops of Eric’s blood to have Sookie having this kind of dreamlike HOT fantasy about Eric!

If there is one thing that bothers me about this dream/fantasy…too much Lorena (who invited her anyways?) and it ended with Sookie laying in bed with Bill. Talk about dousing us with a cruel splash of cold water while we were still in our Eric and Sookie lovin’ mood!

12/7: Quopic of the Day

Posted on by

Today’s Quopic of the Day is a 2-4-1 since we didn’t post a Quopic yesterday! It’s brought to you by the Word of the Day from the Yahoo! Dictionary!

The Word of the Day is: acrimonious

Definition: biting, harsh, caustic

In this Quopic, we’re going to focus on Sookie for a change, since she personifies biting, harsh and caustic in both the show and in the books.

Here is a perfect example;

“Besides, I’m hoping that the more you see me, the more I’ll grow on you.”
“Like a fungus?”
He laughed, but his eyes were fixed on me in a way that meant business. Oh, hell.

~Book 2, Living Dead in Dallas

As you may remember in season 2, this quote was slightly changed on the show. Instead of Sookie saying, “like a fungus”. She said, “I’d rather have cancer.” Then, proceeded to slap him upside the head.

Either way, Eric didn’t seemed bothered by Sookie’s reaction or her biting and harsh words. In fact, he seemed to enjoy it. I’m sure it was because he admired her spunk and passionate nature.

In a way, they are a lot alike. They both say harsh, biting words that are extremely caustic. Eric has been known to be almost harshly, cruelly blunt. Sookie is the same way, as shown in the Quopic above.

I call this a match made in heaven.
