WIP: "True Blood vs Michael Emerson"

I debated posting these for some time since I plan on gifting them to someone eventually, but since they've been such a time-sink, and since I've been putting so much effort into them, I decided to post a preview of this wacky little project-- if for no other reason than to remind myself that I've actually been accomplishing something in the last few weeks.

Here's the thing: There's been a lot of internet speculation as to whether or not Michael Emerson (Ben from Lost, Finch on Person of Interest, next-door-neighbor Charlie from Ready? OK!, Mr. Hinks from The Practice, etc) will be showing up (along with his wife, Carrie Preston, who plays Arlene) in this upcoming season of TrueBlood. Needless to say, this would be so completely radical as to create incendiaries of my underthings, and for once the entirety of the internet agrees with me.

So I want to do a series of fairly plausible but faintly silly cameos of characters he could play on TrueBlood, including Awkward Suitor, Over-Enthusiastic Merlotte's Waiter, Smitten Blood-Donor, Vampire Temperance League Activist, Ghost-Baby-Sitter, Fairy-Godfather, Chihuahua/Bunny/Hedgehog Shifter, Unlikely Pack-Alpha, and Cordon Bleu Vampire Chef/Restauranteur.

Just throwing those out there.

Okay. *knuckle cracking* Back to work.

(Creating slogans for teetotaling vampires is now my new favorite hobby.)
