Dou you think gerard watched youtube clip compilations of joan of arc in the bill and ted movie as part of their big joan of arc obsession back in 2007

No I think he watched the bill and ted movies and went through a phase for a few months where he read bill/ted fanfiction. No evidence for this but that’s what happened to me and I’m projecting onto him
