Hi, I really don't know what to say about myself besides I like LazyTown and my favorite character is Stingy, but Robbie is a close 2nd for his good jokes.
Hello :)
I'm Nyasart. You probably don't know me from my YouTube channel.
I'm not really sure what to say about myself! I watched the show when I was young, and when We Are Number One came about as a prominent meme, I fell in love with it all over again. That's basically it. I know a lot of you guys already from various places, and I decided to make an account, even if I'm not that active.
Hey. You can call me Graves. I watched Lazy Town when it came to the US in 2004 and though I found it very entertaining back then, now that I am 24 I now value what LT taught me and have a new admiration for the show. I also find Magnus very inspiring with his vision and determination to make his vision a reality. Some other interests of mine are cooking, bicycling, horror movies, and taking care of my one dog and two cats.
Of all the things I wish I could change in my life, I really wish I had known about Lazytown from the beginning. I was vaguely aware of its existence due to Cooking by the Book and You are a Pirate, but I, who was a senior in high school when the show was first created, was never the target audience and after getting tired of the anime fandom I had branched out to more 'adult' interests. Honestly I love getting back into learning about children's media and I have developed a lot of strong opinions on the subject, tempered by the fact that the upside of my 'mature' pursuits gave me a thorough understanding of storytelling and critique.
Anyway, I was drawn in by the memes because I thought it was wonderful that a meme was being used to help someone in need. I didn't really get invested into it until I started learning about the production history and then I was lost. I want to be Magnus Scheving when I grow up, and the fact that if I expressed such sentiment to him he would probably tell me something like how growing up to be myself will be better but that's beside the point.
I'm an 'idea guy' myself, I get manic about my passion projects and I know so much useless stuff I will babble about at length and too many of them are wrapped up in everything I have learned over the last six months. It has literally entirely shifted my entire focus and outlook in life. I have always been very stubborn and of the opinion that I will do everything myself if I have to, but over the last handful of years I have started to better appreciate that not only can use help but that it will actually improve the end product.
Anyway if I have not thrown you all off yet I'm an artist of many trades, and I went from lamenting that I had never finished any projects to probably about 200k words of Lazy Town fanfiction (granted half is still unfinished). It was honestly one of the landmark achievements of my life when I wrote a 54k word fanfic in three weeks because of the sheer passion this entire production has instilled in me.

I heard a fascinating view point only this year that, and I'm not saying you fit into this category, people (of which I very much am) who constantly say "I can do this myself" are in need of constant validation, and it's always better to ask for help because as you say, it will improve the end product, and ultimately the overall morale of the group.
