What are your thoughts about Jessica?

I just finished the series and wow what a ride. I’m rewatching it after a while of digesting the show and I’m remembering Jessica was exactly how I thought. I mean this in the sense that: Sookie, I loved throughout but I knew something was off. I’m on S1EP12 and she’s quite unbearable for reasons I probably over analyze but still fun to watch up until S6 IMO.

Jessica is a man-eating teenage vampire. She’s exactly pretty much the same character from start to finish with some growth within the Jason-Hoyt plot. She’s selfish, impulsive and over reactive. However I just find her so endearing with how she throws her heart out, remains friendly and outgoing (I loved when she befriended Tara) yet she’s going through the phases: coming of age but also likely repressing the trauma she endured before with her upbringing and while being turned. (Not canon; just a thought.) In a way I empathize with her character personally however she makes very questionable choices her entire storyline and doesn’t seem to learn from them. But I love her writing, I think it’s somewhat dynamic. She’s fun to watch.

Curious what the overall opinion is about her here on this sub?

Why is Sookie so attached to her house?

So many traumatic events have happened in her house, from her gran being murdered to Tara sacrificing her life for her. Why is she so insistent on staying? Jason let go of that house when he thought Sookie died. Even Eric noticed how attached she was, so he bought it from him to get close to her. She could easily get Eric or Bill to buy her a new home so money’s not the issue.
