A relatively obscure DA user crawls his way here...

I'm known as Destroyer-of-Fascism on DeviantArt. I'm a 28 year-old heavy metal junkie who initially had career ambitions in the creative industry but have since relegated such activities as hobbies and am now itching to become a truck driver (preferably in a company with a robust union contract). While I'm a fan of various types of media genres, I'm essentially non-partisan in my fandom of most genres (for example, I like a few anime titles, but I don't consider myself an "otaku" by any means).

My fandom for Hey Arnold is a tad off-kilter compared to everyone else here. I loved the show when it debuted in 1996 and was a fan until around 1999-2000. I didn't come to hate the show or anything, but was essentially drawn away from it by more "mature" cartoons gaining popularity at the time (other childhood cartoons suffered similar fates as I got older at the time). Hey Arnold came back in the limelight in my life 3 years ago after watching some "nightmare fuel" Nicktoons compilation on YouTube at the time.

Be prepared to read my posts containing unusual ideas relating to this iconic 90's cartoon down the road.

Nice to meet you! What metal bands do you like? I went to my first ever concert just a few years ago - it was Iron Maiden and it was amazing. I also really like Sabaton. My fiance's a huge metal nerd so if you've got any recommendations he may not have heard of, it's always appreciated!

I look forward to those unusual ideas nice to meet you!!

Good to see you here! I have zero real knowledge of heavy metal. I LOVE you're terrifying Ren icon and am excited for your thoughts on HA! and any other 90s toons!

It's nice to meet you too! Sorry, I don't have much knowledge of heavy metal (unless any of the songs popped up in the game "Rock Band"). What are some of your favorite bands/songs? I also really look forward to hearing your thoughts on Hey Arnold!

Thanks, Alyssa!!  I picked a deranged Ren as my icon because my current job often makes me feel like that XD.  I'll be back fairly soon to share some HA! nostalgia and some ideas to expand some story arcs in various episodes.

I haven't figured out how to use the Multi-Quote function yet, but a hearty thanks to everyone else here, too!!

If it makes you feel better, I also am unsure how to use it! If needed I've just been opening secondary tabs and copy/pasting.......

I really like your taste in music!
