The Eltingville Club (vision by presidencies) Pete DiNunzio Secretary of Horror and Gore Pete is the most sadistic and visceral of the group. His obsession centers on extreme horror, gore, and anything that provokes discomfort. He enjoys shock value, graphic violence, and works that push boundaries. He defends horror through paranoia and anger, attacking anything he considers "softened" or "sold out." For him, if it doesn't make him uncomfortable or disturb him, it's not worth it. His sadism isn't cold; it's nervous and explosive. Josh Levy Secretary of Science Fiction Josh is a master of classic, dense science fiction. He's obsessed with internal rules, coherence, and "intellectual" concepts. He despises light or commercial sci-fi. As secretary, he acts as a bureaucrat of the genre: lists, corrections, technicalities. He uses logic as a weapon to invalidate other fans. Bill Dickey Secretary of Comics (and “legitimate” geek culture) and president of the Club Bill appropriates comics, especially those he considers serious, old, or "pure." He believes he decides what is canon, what is garbage, and who deserves to be called a fan. His sadism is verbal and authoritarian. He doesn't always need to shout; humiliation and belittling are enough. For Bill, fandom is hierarchy. Jerry Stokes Secretary of Fantasy, Board Games and Role-Playing Jerry rules the most escapist territory: fantasy, board games, and role-playing. Not out of intense passion, but because nobody else wants him to. He accepts absurd rules, follows manuals and mechanics without question. He is the most docile, but also the most disconnected. He represents the player who just wants to be there, even if the environment is toxic. General reading The club doesn't celebrate these genres: it owns them, monitors them, and punishes them. Each president embodies a distinct form of gatekeeping and toxicity within the fandom.

Jerry is a teenager of average height and build, without the extreme physical features of the other club members. He has short, light brown hair that is relatively neat compared to Bill, Pete, and Josh. His appearance is the most "normal" of the group. His face is round, with soft features. His eyes are dark, and his expression is usually neutral, distracted, or slightly confused. Unlike the others, he doesn't seem to be permanently angry; he often appears passive, absent-minded, or simply going with the flow. He dresses simply: basic t-shirts, ordinary pants, and sneakers. He doesn't stand out for any specific garment or a particular style. His body language is relaxed, sometimes hunched over, as if he were more tired or disinterested than angry. Overall, Jerry projects an image of an apathetic and conformist fan, someone who is there more out of habit than conviction, which fits with his role as the least aggressive and least dominant member of the club.

Unlike Bill, Pete, and Josh, he doesn't seem driven by constant anger or a need to impose his opinions. His interest in geek culture exists, but it's more lukewarm and less obsessive. He usually just follows the group and supports whatever the others decide, especially Bill, without questioning it much. He often acts as a silent observer, rarely intervening in discussions and accepting absurd situations without resistance. This attitude makes him the least confrontational member, but also the least influential within the club. Jerry represents the fan who is present out of inertia and a sense of belonging, not out of deep conviction. His passivity contrasts sharply with the toxicity of the club.

Unlike Bill, Pete doesn't seek to control others through leadership; instead, he reacts from insecurity and fear.
