Gerard’s house is in the Victorian section, East side residential area. After living in California he wanted something different, something with history and a bit smaller with a big garden. A small Victorian was perfect near little shops where he could come and go as he pleased without so many people. His house is kind of bohemian/modern/well…Gerard.

When you go in it’s just a little foyer, then the living room on the left, further in the kitchen is at the back of the house, full of coffee and snacks, a hidden refrigerator with blood stocked from a volunteer blood bank he uses. The windows here look out over the garden, which is a bit of a mess as garden’s go, full of flowers and grasses and places to sit or paths to wander, it’s small but feels bigger with how wild he has it growing. Now his office is on the right, across from the kitchen, it’s the black and white picture, as well as the shelves of his comics and manga and books he keeps near for inspiration or just to read between whatever he’s working on. then there’s are stairs leading up to the bedrooms are back in the foyer. His bedroom is the biggest one on the right hand side, the hallway full of photos of family and friends, framed drawings of his and of fans art he has collected over the years. In his room the bed is large, black out curtains because why sleep in coffin when the modern era has other options? His cats Mitch and Lotion are usually in here making use of the bed, it’s cozy and he usually has mugs everywhere from drinking coffee or tea or other things in bed while reading or just going down rabbit holes on the internet. His bathroom is across the hall, cozy, lit dimly and a big claw foot tub. There’s two guest rooms, one has Patrick’s things in a drawer, their new relationship something he is cautious but excited about. There is also a recording studio in his basement but I forgot to find a picture, just in case he has an idea in the middle of the night or he or the band needs a space.

However, if you find the small stairs into the attic, you’ll find his safe space. Gerard had a bad relationship with his maker, forced to bait, bewitch, and sometimes kill targets for him against his will, Gerard spent a good ten years unable to shake his maker who had turned him simply because Gee was famous and people would do everything for a famous person wouldn’t they? This has left some trauma for Gerard, who has created this little space in his attic for “low energy” days, it’s mostly large cushions, pillows, blankets, fairy lights, his comfort comics, books, an old laptop used for only streaming services and his favorite shows like Akira, Dark Shadows, and old horror Hollywood movies mixed with Star Wars and other movies. There’s a small keurig nearby, so the space usually smells like his coffee, half empty and half full mugs litter it, which honestly just adds to the comfort and coziness of the little nook he’s created. The window is often half open on clear nights, Gee’s love of the universe and comfort in looking at space and stars met with that, it also offers him a small doorway to his roof if he ever just wants to star gaze.
