(I recorded an hour + worth of footage with my sis for the last day but non of it even saved btw) Yes, I stayed on longer…I have officially witnessed everything. The beginning. The transformation. The end. I now have real human XP. I put on my original, iconic penguin style that I’ve had for the past 10 years and my first plain igloo. Words cannot describe how very reminiscent and sad I am so I’ll leave it at this; please do not speak to me for the next 10 MORE years.

My name is Fuzzy
Hearing someone say my Twitter and Tumblr username out loud is pretty much a spiritual experience.
Oseman, A. (2018). I was born for this. HarperCollins Children’s Books.
I can't overstate how much this quote means to me. So many years ago I came up with the username Leapfrog for a wiki page. It's based on a method used in numerical analysis and it is used in numerical weather prediction models, which is what I was working on at the time. Not much later, I started my first public social media profile, but Leapfrog was already taken. So I added Fuzzy. It's based on fuzzy logic, so again something I was just learning about. Whereas Boolean logic is based on only two truth values,
Fuzzy logic [...] is a special many-valued logic which aims at providing formal background for the graded approach to vagueness.
Novák, V., Perfilieva, I., & Močkoř, J. (1999). Mathematical Principles of Fuzzy Logic. Springer.
That is how I became FuzzyLeapfrog, or simply Fuzzy.
Both words capture my nature and soul very well. I always try to find a numerical solution, while acknowledging that the world is more complex and vague than that.
So I've been called Fuzzy online for over a decade now, but gradually Fuzzy has also found its way into offline interactions. It's not just about me though. So many people I meet offline are people I met online and we very often address each other with our online names anyway. This has brought me so much joy and probably caused a lot of confusion for people who are unfamiliar with our online names or even the concept of online names.
Anyway, it doesn't matter how often I hear it, having someone acknowledge our online connection by calling my Fuzzy loudly offline is an endless source of inner joy. I am Fuzzy.
hey y'all, I'll be offline for the next few days so if anyone contacts me for anything just know that I'll get back to you as soon as I can <333

Gnight guys! Thank you so much for the lovely asks and support💖 I’ll definitely be doing more of our favorite little emo demigod soon, I had a lot of fun :)
I’m actually gonna call it a day for Fleur, but thank you for all the asks and hijacks, I had so much fun! Thanks to everyone for participating and to @askananimagus for organizing it all!💙
Lily: So you were just planning on ignoring your feelings for her and never telling anyone else about them?! Denial is first of all, super unhealthy, and second of all, very ineffective in the long run.
Lily: Okay, come with me. We need to have a serious talk about Dorcas and your “coping mechanisms.”
