So it is no secret that I am a big Hey Arnold fan; I got into it when I was fixing to start middle school; that was when I was allowed to start to watch cable/satellite channels because I didn’t have an evil in my life anymore. Unlike other tags I have done, this is one that I made, and I thought that it would be fun to share and do. I love these types of tags, so here we go.

Favorite episode

I have a three-way tie between Little Miss Perfect, It Girl, and Married. I love Little Miss Perfect because Lila was introduced. It gave all the current girl students a big dose of humility and taught them not to judge so easily. It Girl, because Helga as a model was hilarious, and I really liked how because she was a model, it changed how people precede her. With Married, I just loved how both Arnold and Helga saw a possible future relationship.

Favorite character/s

Lila! I have seen a lot of myself in Lila as a child and related a lot to her situation. I know she has been universally hated in the fandom, but I love her, and I don’t care, lol.

Which character/s are you the most like or that you most relate to?

Lila and Phoebe. Lila was who I was as a kid (I mean without the “evil/dark” that we have never seen from her in canon.) She was a people pleaser, she was sweet to the point that people thought it was fake even though it wasn’t, and she was what society taught girls to be especially in that time that she was on screen and I was growing up. Phoebe and Lila because they and I as a kid were silent and subordinate. Then with only Phoebe, it was the shyness, how hard she worked, and the smartness. To be honest, whenever someone said they hate Lila, I know logically they aren’t, but it feels like they are saying they hated me as a kid.

Which teacher was your favorite?

Mr. Simmons! He was nice and such a loving person. (Interesting how he was like the male version of Lila, but no one called him fake or hated him, interesting.)

Favorite Ship

Helga and Arnold! I have been a fan of them since I started watching the show, and I was so happy when the hiatus between the end of the series and the Jungle Movie when Craig said they were meant to be! He is everything you would want in a fandom creator like he encourages fanworks and doesn’t hate on characters or ships, even if they are canon.

Did you like the Jungle Movie?

I loved it, I was not disappointed at all.

If Craig Bartlett made The Patakis tv series (proposed TV series sequel) would you watch it?

Of course, that is literally a dream of mine. I remember it was compared to Daria and considered too dark for Nick but not for MTV. However, MTV said no because they had Daria (even though it was ending.) Love Daria, I need more Daria, and I want this series that they said would be similar to it.

If Craig Bartlett made a new season of Hey Arnold would you watch it?

Yes, tbh I am way more interested in The Patakis tv series, but I will never say no to more Hey Arnold that Craig is interested in making.

If you could choose an ending or an endgame for Hey Arnold what would it be?

Despite writing these questions, Idk lol. I in general am more about the journal than the destination when it comes to stuff, but especially Hey Arnold but my shot would be with the Hey Arnold kids all on their way out of high school, so to college, to the military, to the job force, peace corps, etc.

What is your favorite quote from the series?

“I say we paint ourselves with tiger stripes and go free all the animals in the zoo!” by Curly lol. It is the one quote that just sticks in my head, but there are a lot of good ones.

If you want to do this tag I’m going to leave the questions below, but my question is did/do you like Hey Arnold, if not what cartoon was your favorite as a kid?
