How do I begin describing Eric, let me see; he's a sexy combination of someone who is Confident and Selfish with a dash of cute and sensitive. His development in ' The Sookie Stackhouse' novels has been the most impressive ( well at least for me it has been since he's my favorite!!!) I LOVE LOVE LOVE HIM!! Ok ok back to reality, in all seriousness he really is a good example of a character that you can't wait to read about in every book and see what he's gonna say or do! The little things he says just make you all giddy and happy, like in the first book when he got Sookie the roses as a thank you for helping him or when he got her the nice coat after her old one got ruined, or when Sookie woke up one morning and found that someone had paid to have her driveway fixed, which was something she kept talking about throughout the whole book. He LISTENS TO HER!! He's just thoughtful like that and when he began to have actual feelings for her those little things became "Intensified" he turned into her Vampire Protector, her guardian in a way. And she couldn't help but feel the same way ( she already fell for innocent,cute, sensitive, amnesiac Eric when she was keeping him safe and that relationship was beautiful) and yeah ok they became more serious after they shared blood (which is a serious thing in the vampire world) but it was still based on actual feelings and emotions. Eric shared blood with her the first time to save her life, yeah she'd be connected to him for a while (but who's COMPLAINING!!) I mean come on it's ERIC FREAKING NORTHMAN! The Norse God (credit to Nour for giving him this title) who with a look can make you melt into a puddle on the ground. He's a tall blue-eyed blonde vampire with a stare that could end wars, or in his case start ones! Because let's face it he's slightly Evil (man this guy keeps getting better and better the more I talk about him!) Evil to me is a very sexy trait, and it gets sexier when this evil character begins to show signs of caring and love towards the most unlikely person. Now the Eric in the books and the Eric in the series have a slight difference in the manner of let's say communicating and expressing how they feel. Of course when you're reading you have your imagination to depend on and when you watch a character come to life it's a different experience! Nonetheless, they are both awesome!! I love how the "Swedish Giant of Deliciousness" Alexander Skarsgard portrays Eric and makes us fall even more in love with him along the way. He brings so much depth to the character and he just has this aura of hotness and awesomeness surrounding him that you just can't help but gawk at the screen and want more of him.
While reading the books I actually found myself waiting for it to become night time (in the books duh! cuz vampires can't walk during the day in these novels) just to read about any kind of interaction involving Eric!! Now he might not be the most subtle when expressing how he feels about something but he sure is good when he expresses his love for Sookie. He's the kind of person who's very VERY protective of the people he loves and cares about. And the fact that both him and Sookie truly love each other regardless of the "Blood Bond" because she had it broken to see if those feelings were real and they GENUINELY WERE!! totally makes their relationship worth the late nights I spent racing through the chapters to see how these two are gonna make it in the messed up world they live in.
