# Who is NorseFenrir and why are we wishing him a Happy Birthday?

It all started June 6th 2016 at 2:52:06 PM Central Time when the Rick and Morty Season 3 was announced. /u/MetalGilSolid announced in our mod Slack this amazing news. /u/NorseFenrir proceeded to say "Day before my birthday" to which /u/thirdegree mistook when his actual birthday was, kicking off the Birthday Celebrations. Everyone else proceeded to also join in on the birthday celebration.

An excert of this special moment below:

Three days later on June 9th /u/MisterWoodhouse kicks things up a notch by wishing Norse a Happy Birthday during the Destiny Rise of Iron Reveal Stream. This had an amazing rippling effect of causing the entire subreddit to start wishing him a Happy Birthday, not realizing the in-joke they are now becoming a part of. That same day we decided to get as much of reddit involved as possible, and received the support of multiple default subreddits including r/TIFU, r/InternetIsBeautiful, r/DestinyTheGame, r/botsrights, amongst many others to make major announcements wishing him a happy birthday, which lead to much confusion. The celebrations continued on Twitter with MisterWoodhouse getting The Division Reddit account to join in along with many other personalities.

The official Studio Wildcard account also joined in on wishing NorseFenrir a happy birthday. (need date alignment) The Destiny Reddit Twitter joined in on a few occasions.

/u/D0cR3d changed his Xbox Gamertag to 'Hapy Bday Norse' and continues to use it to this day.

When the Destiny Sherpa subreddits hosted a Christmas Charity stream for Child's Play in December, /u/MetalGilSolid pledged to donate a dollar for every donation of $10 or more with the comment 'Happy Birthday Norse'. A total of 66 people complied (and was rounded up) to an extra $75 donation.

For the Destiny 2 World Premier /u/D0cR3d and /u/MetalGilSolid had custom Norse Birthday T-Shirts made in celebration.

# When is NorseFenrir's actual Birthday?

Some say it is every day. His Mom and Dad believe it is on July 27th.

# What you can do:

What you can do is wish /u/NorseFenrir a Happy Birthday. Seriously! Any way you can imagine, get him the message. Whether it's via a PM on reddit, Twitter, r/DestinyTheGame (there will be a thread, you can't miss it), etc.

Want to celebrate the occasion for ever and ever? Well now you can with our shirts we've made available. The same shirts MetalGilSolid and D0cR3d wore on May 18th at the Destiny 2 World Premier.

All proceeds for the shirts go DIRECTLY to St. Jude Children's Hospital. If you are in the US you can purchase the shirt here and if you are in the EU you can purchase the shirt here.

So let's make this BIG! Make it a day he can't forget!
