Her Felipe's Futures

Apr 25, 2013 16:23

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... )

anon is moderated on this, felipe - death in a cape, happily ever afters 'n' such, omg omg dead ever after!, sookie stackhouse - 28

If it is Sam, then that's a real googly! I don't have an issue with it (whatever makes Sookie happy) but it's also not like CH is it? I mean her other books have been slow burning ships (rather like Viking funeral boats... *waits for Thyra to tell her those burning boats were made up by Victorians*)

Did you make Anzac biscuits? One of our former bosses used to bring them in each yeah and they got called Anthrax biscuits - they were the most inedible things I've ever had the misfortune to put in my mouth.

It is! But I think it will be just as interesting - how she navigates politics. Without Eric, it leaves her options far more open.

I think that all of the romances have been slow burning ships...until they start. Eric sort of came out of nowhere for me - I mean, yeah, Eric was on board with it, but it was all up to Sookie as to *when* that happened. If Eric does ditch Sookie for Oklahoma, I'll be glad that Sookie *doesn't* become Hadley.

But again - I don't 100% trust any spoilers that aren't official, like the Penguin synopsis. Readers are often wrong, and it wouldn't be the first time an ending is trolled. I remember when the spoiler for HP was "Harry will die" which was both true and misleading.

Man, I hate Anzac biscuits. They're hard as nails. I never make them. I mean, they're basically track biscuits for poor army guys, so unless they're dipped in coffee, they're impossible to eat.

*hits Elbly over the head*

Didn`t you know that burning ships did not have horned helmets and that they were only used on saturdays on the eastern side of Iceland? I`ll make a formal complaint to your history teacher....

I think the only issue I would have with it being Sam would be how you would untie that from using the CD, it would be a bit less satisfying if there was an idea that the use of the fairy magic was what pushed them together.

And yeah, it's interesting to see Sookie's threat to Felipe made clear. She has a pretty fierce reputation I think, by this stage. And Felipe's seen her in action with Siegfried after all. He certainly wouldn't take it lightly.

Ah, ANZAC biscuits. They had them at preschool yesterday for afternoon tea. As a 'treat'!

While part of me agrees with you on the magic issue, I also think that in light of the blood Eric and Bill have given Sookie that makes her see them as "more human" that wouldn't really be a big barrier. That's essentially a cheat sheet for them, but it wouldn't limit what I think of the actual relationship ( ... )

anonymous April 25 2013, 10:12:47 UTC

The problem I have now is that I can endlessly speculate and examine everything from both points of view, e.g. Sookie went to the wedding with Sam and wasn't that thrilled about his family, their noisy brains and their prayer-circle, but, hey, at least she knows what she's getting and they already like her ( ... )

peppermintyrose April 25 2013, 11:00:22 UTC

That's why I like spoilers - seeing it from both sides. And it gives me a possibility of being right either way ( ... )

anonymous April 25 2013, 11:16:13 UTC

Oh, wow! How many more days do we have to wait? Now I just want to know more. And are Anzac biscuits really that bad? ;)

I like this notion that Sookie is setting herself up as a known threat in Felipe’s eyes. Lol, I’m sure he hasn’t forgotten what she can do with a car, too. Those human connections haven’t come easily-built up over the course of the books-and interestingly enough, they’ve happened in part because vampires came into her life. So it wouldn’t all be for naught.

I think I can get on board with a Sam HEA (hey, he can get a lion on)--I’ll be interested to see how CH works it. If that spoiler is true, I think the worst part will be the CH hate. Ugh. It’s already ugly. JanineMNM

Only like 12. It's killing me. Even if this bit is true, I don't have all the other words. Anzac biscuits are sometimes okay, but they have Golden Syrup in them (which is cross between glucose and molasses) which makes them delicious and also as hard as a hockey puck. I'm a fan of the Rolled oat crunchies ( ... )

Hmmm thyradane April 25 2013, 11:57:52 UTC

From the way things are now I must say that I`m disappointed. Not because I need an Eric-HEA (I actually don`t think any of the men are good enough for Sookie) but because Sookie hasn`t shown any feelings for Sam apart from friendship and because Sam seems to prefer women who are more dangerous than Sookie. I don`t like how Sam wanted to show off Sookie to his family but really wanted to be with someone else ( ... )

Re: Hmmm peppermintyrose April 25 2013, 12:19:32 UTC

Well, bear in mind it might be a load of rubbish. We only have internet person's word that it's real, and I don't know them from a bar of soap. They say they're right, and they're the only person speaking - despite it apparently being released in other countries ( ... )

Re: Hmmm thyradane April 25 2013, 13:39:14 UTC

That is certainly true. I tried to check out the source and she said she`d bought the book "from a small German bookstore". Could be true, but it seems strange - at least if small German bookstores are like small Norwegian bookstores... It would be hilarious if this was some troll. I mean (me included), are getting our blood pressure way up in the dangerous areas and it could all be for nothing ( ... )

Re: Hmmm peppermintyrose April 25 2013, 15:49:18 UTC

I don't think you can be 100% certain on spoilers, no matter how detailed they are. Particularly since it could be someone with any number of reasons. But don't get your blood pressure up about it - I think that the journey will be the thing, no matter what. And I'm a little skeptical that one person has the book so early...or rather, I'm pissed that it wasn't ME. I've been hoping for fumbling bookstore clerks who might give it to me early, but so far nothing ( ... )

I'm staying skeptical. I'll be happy to concede my wrongness if "my friend, who lives in Germany, and shops at this one obscure bookstore" proves to be a valid source, but at this point it's tits or gtfo as far as I'm concerned. Show me pictures of the book, the receipt, give details about any other plot points. (I read on random-fandom that you quoted from a picture. Do you have the link ( ... )

peppermintyrose April 25 2013, 16:00:13 UTC

I agree about staying frosty on the whole thing. And they gave plot points throughout the Amazon thread, but that doesn't mean anything. Someone who wanted to fuck with readers has had a lot of time and silence to think it all through. I'll come to random-fandom and update the links etc ( ... )
