5 nominations for the Gold Derby Awards

We did it, now let's vote for the win, a reminder that in the Emmy prediction videos a bitter GD editor treated the show, actors and fandom with disdain, so let's motivate ourselves through the power of resentment and vote! lol

Also 2 episodes

First of all, Happy first week of filming lol

Now, Gold Derby has opened the voting for their award, for those who don't know, this is the website that measures the odds for awards.

It would be great if the fandom could come together to vote. The ones available for this vote are Jacob Anderson, Sam Reid, the show as Best Drama and 2 episodes.

They measure according to the bets of media outlets, critics... that's why unfortunately Delainey or Assad are not available! If you can vote, it's a good opportunity for us as a fandom to help give attention to an area of ​​the industry that is very difficult to get attention, the voting bodies!

And please, try vote for everyone available, sometimes we tend to only care about our faves, but let's try to get together to award the whole project!

No one is using Jacob Anderson RT that tweet to say he tried to shade anyone else but AMC

It’s wild how every time fans dare to mention the blatant disparity in how Jacob Anderson is treated compared to his co-star, the conversation is immediately derailed. ''He loves Sam!'' ''He said it’s Sam’s season!'' ''He wouldn’t retweet something if it was shade!''

Jacob was the lead of this show for two seasons.He was the narrator, the emotional core, the face of the adaptation’s bold reimagining. And yet, now that season 3 is Lestat-centric, Jacob is suddenly missing from all planned press appearances. Just like he was constantly minimized by this fandom during seasons 1 and 2.

So when Jacob who famously ''isn’t on Twitter'' accidentally retweets a post calling that out, of course it hits a nerve. Because he sees it. And the fans who’ve been defending him from day one? We see it too.

But instead of acknowledging the very real issue of how black actors are discarded the moment they’re no longer ''useful,'' Some of you twist it into a melodrama,''Stop making Jacob vs. Sam a thing!'' ''Jacob wouldn’t giggle at you shading his friend!''

This isn’t about their friendship.

This is about the industry, about AMC who is notorious for their treatment of their actors of color. This is also about a fandom that pretends to love Louis, Armand, Claudia but refuses to stand by their actors when it matters. This is about the fact that Jacob Anderson is once again being sidelined by a network that used him to launch their franchise and is now erasing him from the narrative ,just like Louis is constantly erased from his own story.

You know what’s even more telling? The fact that you can’t tell the difference between fans criticizing racism in the Industry and someone attacking your favorite white actor. speaks volumes.

Anyway, i made my peace with this fandom.

And Assad*

The show, jacob and sam on goldderby's emmy odds list

It's very unlikely they'll get anything, but who knows, AMC has put the show in some FYC events, it seems like they're putting more energy this year, unfortunately only Sam is leading the campaign, which is sad because Jacob should be there too, it just makes his already difficult odds worse!

[obaaaa]

I really love when the show makes people explore more content about our favorite vampires, it's really beautiful when they don't limit themselves and are able to appreciate the individuality of each media and at the same time experience the possibilities of this universe!

Mayfair Witches second week ratings surpassing the entire IWTV s2.

No matter how much the fandom tries to make it seem like MW is a flop, it's still performing better than iwtv, it managed to grow in the second week, something iwtv struggled to achieve.

Unfortunately iwtv has difficulty maintaining a regular audience due to the more contemplative passing and the lyrical prose, which elevates the series as a whole, but ends up losing the attention of a less engaged audience. MW, being more generic, attracts more attention. not to mention IWTV surviving as a queer show… I have to confess that I fear what amc might force Rolin to do in the future for the show to align with some expectations, especially given the climate we are living in!

Once again an example of the fandom's power making the series reach more and more people

Vampire comparison | book vs series vs movie

I found this video comparing the iwtv versions, it's very simple and cool, nothing that the fandom doesn't already know but it's always good to support those who have an open mind about the series

We may not have gotten the top 10 on Netflix, but we got Trixie and Katya lol

When we use our power to help the show. Netflix creating content for a product that isn't theirs.

I've been thinking about Jacob...

I'm very sad about how his recognition has limits, not having the privilege that allows him to be nominated when the show is finally recognized in a major award show. Don't get me wrong it's very sad for everyone involved, the ensemble is impeccable and iwtv deserves to be in these awards without much effort. but i say especially Jacob because he carried the series for two seasons as a lead, shining in every moment of his performance, with his work and dedication, making us feel all kinds of emotions in brilliant moments... But still not good enough for a mainstream nomination! And the way we can still find some weirdos ignoring his role as a lead or questioning his talent... it's heartbreaking.

In the two major awards so far, only one black actor in each, has been nominated as lead drama actor, with the two being different actors… this means that Jacob would need to be the black celebrity who stands out the most in front of voters, which is very sad and unfair! Critics Choices bothers me the most because they watched enough to nominate the series and the supporting actor and not the lead when he would easily fit in among those nominated. In theory, Sam and the show are being rewarded for their work since the first season and Jacob is not. he deserves to be part of this symbol of prestige, especially because his character is the one with the most uncertain future of all, he is the one that the fandom tends to appreciate least and if they writes him off i feel a lot of people wouldn't care, but I really hope that Rolin maintains the promise, I still want to see a lot of Louis being relevant and moving the world of theses vampires and who knows, maybe this recognition for Jacob will eventually come... Anyways i just wanted to vent

Now take the opportunity to vote for him please:
