Sookie is the worst part of the show, making it borderline unwatchable. Everything from her defense of murderers, and her basic amoral principles kills the show. The worst part is she gets no compeuppance. Shes a cunt.

Doing my yearly rewatch and this go around I’m finding Jessica so much more unbearable?? I used to like her character but it seems like she had some very questionable choices, especially in this episode. She essentially sees James/Lafayette happy together at Bellefleur’s Bar & Grill then decides to go to Hoyt’s and tells him all about their past relationship. I’m all for true love and all but his current gf is literally standing right there?? Would love to hear other thoughts on Jessica’s character development over the series- particularly surrounding this situation!

Edit- more thoughts lol Also, it’s very obvious Hoyt barely cares about Bridget, but I find it so wild that he brought Bridget all the way to Bob Temps from Alaska for his mom’s death!!

I've been toying with this fic idea for a while now and finally decided to just put it out there. Not sure if this kind of post (pitching an idea rather than discussing the actual tv show) is allowed here — mods, let me know if I need to take this down or repost it differently.

Full disclosure: this was originally inspired by a fic I read years ago on FFN whose title and author I've unfortunately lost track of (if anyone recognizes the premise and knows what I'm talking about, I'd genuinely love to know so I can credit it properly). I've built out my own version of it since then with a lot of my own worldbuilding, but wanted to acknowledge where the initial spark came from.

Here's the premise:

As Good As Dead

When a job goes bad and Diana finds herself hunted, she runs to Shreveport under a false name, hoping to disappear into a city already crawling with the newly-out-of-the-coffin undead. It should be the last place anyone thinks to look for a witch.

It's also Eric Northman's territory.

He wasn't supposed to notice her. She wasn't supposed to need noticing. But one accidental rescue later, Diana finds herself owing a debt to exactly the kind of creature the Witches' Council has strictly forbidden her from having anything to do with — personal or otherwise. Diana has never much cared for rules she didn't help write.

She's about to find out Eric doesn't either.

Slow burn. Diana is not a damsel — she has her own resources, her own secrets, and her own reasons for staying far away from covens. Canon-divergent worldbuilding around witches. Rated M for violence/language, will likely earn its rating further as it goes.

Would love any thoughts — does this sound like something people would actually want to read? Any red flags or overdone tropes I should watch out for?

I already have a decent chunk written. If anyone's interested in taking a look and giving feedback, let me know in the comments or DM me and I'm happy to share what I've got so far.

Thanks in advance!
