huge eric fan now for how he is about his weird little two-thousand-year-old enlightened teenage dad . like, oh, i'm huge and tall but i never want to seem like i'm looming over you so whenever we're face to face i'll kneel or sit below you and look up like you're some kind of jesus . when i met you i thought you were death and you said come walk with me through the dark and i said what's in it for me? and it's been a thousand years and i'm the age now that you were then and i haven't changed; i'm still a careless, blood-soaked opportunist and loving it, but you decided you were a pacifist somewhere in the past couple centuries and i SO SUPER don't get it but i love you so i hope you're happy and enjoying your linen smocks and ancient mien of peaceful remorse. and then i let you die because you think it will help and i hate to let you down. and i never get over you, ever

#do you think if godric hadn't died that eric would eventually be like. oh ive grown past him he has become weak in his dotage #unlike me a strong hot thousand year old bloodthirsty jock #like would his having lived - after having had a change of philosophy - have ruined their relationship?#was his death a catalyst for reflection or a catalyst for stagnation?#because most vampires. they stagnate or they get obsessive . that's just what happens when you live long enough to get bored #but he was having new experiences until his last moment on earth #and that's rare. other vamps - ones even older than he was - are extremely stagnant and extremely obsessive #they find their rut and they grind themselves into it until it kills them #godric was like. well i've had enough of this rut. let's try something else . and then he died. and like. he died -#but he died doing something he'd never done before which is impressive at two thousand forty something #true blood #q
