Under other circumstances, I might decline as it would be a wiki that I probably wouldn't be participating in much. But it's obvious you will need support.

Aztrosist (we might as well get used to calling him by his original account) is not likely to give up any time soon, even after the adoption request is processed. He's already showing obsessive behavior along the lines of "I have to get back at the ones who are keeping me from becoming an admin or bureaucrat." He tried it with a pretty weak impersonation attempt earlier today.

I will say that if you do decide to make me an admin as you indicated in your list of who you'd like to promote, do not make me a bureaucrat at the same time. Nor anyone else. I'm already on record as to why that's almost always a bad idea. You can read about it in my blog on Community Central. We can look at whether I should be a bureaucrat at a later time.

For my part, I'm willing to be a backup for you. I might not make very many edits except for maintenance, but I would add it to the list of wikis I check every one or two days to make sure people aren't causing problems. Though, with memes, what would look like a problem on another wiki could actually be legitimate info.

People like Aztrosist don't have to act the way they do. Since they have made the decision to do so, I'm willing to help out and clean up the messes they make. I first became an admin eight years ago. Just about all the vandals I've come across haven't lasted even one year and some of that is because I can be patient in cleaning up after them. I'm still here. They're not.
