🩸 Vampire Press Club: House Rules & Weekly Flow 🩸

We’re not unhinged. We’re just well-researched.

Welcome BACK! This blog is now rebranded as the Vampire Press Club, where we investigate, appreciate, and celebrate the Interview With the Vampire/The Vampire Lestat (IWTVL) cast and universe — with logic, levity, and above all: receipts.

This is a safe, fandom-forward space focused on Jacob Anderson, Sam Reid, and Assad Zaman as our leading lights, with Delainey Hayles, Eric Bogosian, Jennifer Ehle, Joseph Potter, and more rounding out our beloved ensemble.

⸻

🔥 Tone & Conduct

• NO HEAT. This is a zero-drama zone. No vague posts, no passive aggression, and no starting mess under the guise of curiosity. 🌶️🥛 Continue as warnings.

• LOGIC REQUIRED. If you’re going to make claims, bring reasoning. Opinions are welcome — but must be grounded in observations, patterns, or evidence.

• RECEIPTS MATTER. Screenshots, clips, interviews, timestamps — we love them. If you’re saying something definitive, come prepared.

• SPECULATION = OK (with a disclaimer). Make it fun, not harmful. Tag it accordingly.

• NO CHARACTER/ANON BASHING. Love a fave without tearing down others. Disagree without disrespecting others.

⸻

📆 Weekly Posting Schedule: The VPC Beat

We structure content by day to keep our chaos focused:

🧛‍♂️ Mondays: Jacob Anderson Mondays

Celebrate Jacob! Anything about his career, acting roles, music, interviews, aesthetics, or things he enjoys. Content must be 2-degrees of separation from Jacob.

• Good: Jacob’s acting choices, Raleigh Ritchie analysis, Jacob’s playlist tastes, Emilia Clarke’s new film

• Not ideal: Posts not involving him or anyone connected to him. Marriage speculation discouraged.

⸻

🩸 Tuesdays: Sam Reid Tuesdays

Sam-focused content day! Dive into his performances, interviews, Aussie background, theater training, or favorite influences.

• Good: The Newsreader discussion, Sam’s childhood influences, behind-the-scenes commentary, Anna Torv’s latest project

• Not ideal: General IWTVL posts with no tie-in to Sam. Sip relationship speculation discouraged.

⸻

🕯 Wednesdays: Assad Zaman Wednesdays

Finally a place to recognize our Armand! Anything about Assad — acting insights, previous work, cultural analysis, or his creative interests.

• Good: Hotel Portofino, Assad’s press quotes, his fashion and stylings

• Not ideal: General IWTVL content not tied to Assad, Luke Brandon Field’s latest IG post.

⸻

🧬 Thursdays: Ensemble + Extended Universe

This is “Everyone Else” day. Delainey, Eric, Jen, Joseph, Ben Daniels, the writers, directors, and even production folks. Dive deep into the ensemble!

• Great day for: costume breakdowns, cinematography love, interviews from writers and BTS teams

⸻

💥 Fridays: Free-For-All Fridays

Let your fangs out! You can post anything IWTVL-related — crossovers, memes, GIF spam, meta-ramblings, dream castings, etc.

• Think: wild speculation, throwbacks, AU ideas, jokes, PR analysis — but still keep it respectful and in the spirit of the club.

⸻

📺 Weekends: Open Topics

Saturday + Sunday are for extended convos, longform posts, rewatches, episode breakdowns, multi-actor content, and joint appreciation.

• This is a great time for analysis, character arcs, or community questions.

⸻

💌 Anons & Community Interaction

• Ask Box is OPEN, but this isn’t a court of law. Be clear, kind, and concise.

• No harassment will be tolerated — if I sense you’re trying to bait or smear someone, you’ll be blocked.

• Don’t send drama from other blogs unless it relates to a public claim and can be discussed with context and nuance.

• Using the new tag #pressclubreceipts when you’re posting sourced evidence or analysis — for easier archiving!

⸻

🧠 Final Word

This isn’t a fandom war room. This is a vampire think tank with a bit of sass, a lot of heart, and an love for TV craft.

If you’re new here: Welcome. If you’re old here: You’re home.

Let’s keep it smart, silly, and safe for everyone.

OLD RULES: For reference

Sorry, but Jacob has been contradicting himself a lot recently. In an interview, he says he's happy with Louis's storyline, but then in Vulture magazine he implies he's not

I can’t get past the paywall to see the Vulture article…

Happiest birthday to our beloved, talented and soul of the party Jacob Anderson! 🎉🎉🎂

Sam is insightful about every character they ask about him. He is not just excited about Armand. Maybe he is a little enthusiastic about Armand this season because we'll probably see how different Lestat is from how Armand portrayed him to be.

He really is. I agree.

Actually, I think S has done his share. If anything he is the one all over the internet down bad.

It was time for J to catch up. And he did because saying calling them and not L$L married was a bold choice. And he didn't clarify it or make it family.

This is an excellent point! Everything added together… 🤔🤭

“they can’t be together for too long. i don’t think anybody would want to see that” -jacob

wtf

See what I am saying? Jacob has lost the plot lol

Sorry sir, I want Loustat TOGETHER, IN LOVE, HAPPY. I’ll watch that all day lol

[vampirepressclub]

" I'd rather have them both out there representing jam(looking at you sam),, but I'll take just Jacob ❤️"

Jacob remains Jacob about Jam, Sam on the other hand....

… is trying to accomplish something. We need to let that man cook in peace. Jacob is signaling in every possible way that things between Jam are perfectly fine and not to read anything negative into the “shift” in Sam’s demeanor. I can’t say more 😅. Stay calm and carry on. Popcorn? 🍿

Why does it feel like Jacob has entered some new era of his life? 👀

Boom, right there from Jacob’s mouth; he’s happy with Louis’s arc. Maybe now y’all can stop pushing your own feelings onto him about him being secretly unhappy.

Anon… a person can side eye and be frustrated about something on one side and be happy with something else on the other… both things can be true.

That said, this is the part I find most interesting… about this alleged fight between Jacob and Rolin.

Jacob is fine about it, everyone relax. The fight wasn’t a fight in our favor… I’m on Rollin’s side this time.

Guys, the full video where Sam adjusts the collar of Jacob’s shirt.

🤣🤣

This says more about who Sam is than anything I’ve seen to-date 🤭

His vocals are amazing!

My little JamLoustat heart almost burst 🥹🥹

[vampirepressclub]

I think because of the changing political climate, homophobic higher ups are getting bolder and intentionally gave TVL less production budget so they'll get an opportunity to cancel it. ( Production and marketing budgets are different) Now there are people who wants the show to do bad encouraging people to review bomb and leave bad reviews. I'm not talking about people who have actual criticisms. Just the ones who are acting like kpop stans. Queer shows are getting cancelled left, right and centre and the few ones we have is no gothic drama. I love simple shows about queer joy but I want my toxic queers too. I'd be so upset if this show gets cancelled.

🥺

[vampirepressclub]

BO I can't figure out which one of these episodes is supposed to be Sam's interview😭 (Or does it only work if you have SiriusXM?)

Is this helpful?

[vampirepressclub]

Happy Birthday, Jacob!
