Meanwhile I was busy getting the mental health profession to take a deep look at Umbrella Academy. I wonder if my therapist can help them…
I told my counselor about Umbrella Academy during therapy today and she promised to watch it! She's the best!

And if the day wasn’t already amazing, we learned we were getting a new song from Gerard and Ray Toro at midnight!

We woke up to a pretty great surprise. A brand new interview from Gerard with a new picture of him posing in such a way that made the fandom light up with comparisons from pictures of his past where he appears to have not changed.
