MCR x WTNV

I have been a lifelong MCR music fan but have not engaged in too much of the lore/fan space until recently in preparation for seeing them live last night (life changing btw).

So, not sure if this is something commonly known as I’m new to fan spaces - but does anyone know if Gerard has ever mention Welcome To Night Vale? Lots of the rules displayed had very WTNV energy and I was wondering if it has ever been mentioned as an inspo or if Gee is a fan!

And for everyone who loves the wording of the rules and their slightly odd funny philosophical ominous vibe, please give the welcome to nightvale podcast a listen!! It is the sort of odd theatrical creepy hopecore i think fans and the band would love
