Fuzz the Cat

*My name is Fuzz! Fuzz the Cat! Mascot for the June Archives!*

**Fuzz the Cat** is a fictional cat-like character that acts as the mascot for the June Archive and Restoration Project. In reality, Fuzz is a sentient entity with dark intentions regarding time travel.

## Character History

### Archive Announcement 1!

Fuzz thanks those who support the archive project, stating the amount of his gratefulness. He says afterwards that the restoration process takes time, letting the supporters know that those working on the project are doing the best they can.

On a last "thank you" note, Fuzz simply stays still with an unsettling appearance, wondering why the viewer is still watching the video. Thinking they are looking for something lost in the archives, Fuzz confirms he is. He joins the viewer in his search.

### Archive Announcement 2

On June 1, 2022, Fuzz has him and the viewer have a moment of silence for nine years after Flipnote Hatena's shut down. Suddenly, Fuzz is called by an unknown caller. Answering the call, Fuzz angrily hangs up a payphone. Turning his enraged face toward the viewer, he rants to them about nostalgia, talking about how you eventually realize that the good times are behind you and you could never go back. Nonetheless, Fuzz debates on the possibility of going back in time to "change a thing or two". Imitating your thoughts on how changing things in the past could erect differences in the present, Fuzz states that that would be the point.

#### DSi Safety Parody 2 by SnowyOwl

In the description of an unlisted video, Fuzz tells the viewer that the team of the archive project attempted to manage him, and he now manages them. Offering the viewer to be a member, Fuzz realizes that, at this point, the viewer already is.

### Staff Interaction 02

A burnt-out staff member of the archive project uses his Nintendo DSi to talk to Fuzz the Cat. Fuzz asks the member to do him a favor, wanting a vial he can't get because of him being inside the DSi. Informing him to draw one onto the touch screen for him, he also threatens the member if he refuses to. Fuzz promises to return the favor.

### Wide-Eyed Nightmare

The staff member talks to a child, asking him to stop "dreaming". The child refuses to do so, convinced their goals are the same. He takes Fuzz with him on his Nintendo DSi to leave the member behind. Fuzz faces the staff member as a grandfather clock falls on the child, seemingly decapitating him when coming across a message concerning Flipnote Hatena's shut down.

Fuzz, knowing the member wonders why he is brought here by Fuzz, actually wonders why he is brought here by the member. He repeats the child's quote, "our goals are the same", and revises his offer. He offers the member to turn back time in order to get everything they both ever wanted, but the staff member declines. Fuzz, shocked by the staff member's answer, angrily shouts that they both know there is more than "stupid flipnotes", followed by the Cat-Clock catching them both under its eye. Fuzz gives him a last chance to reconsider, trying to convince him to take all the time he needs resting at his fingertips.

## Personality

A memory virus out to achieve the power of time travel that allows him to become something greater, altering the present with it, Fuzz hides under a joyful, cheery personality you'd expect from a cartoon mascot.

## Trivia

* On social media (and occasionally in some videos), Fuzz is talking when a smiley face :) is typed at the end of a sentence.

### Speculation

* Fuzz may have built the Cat-Clock, seeing as how he strives to change the past and the present. This would mean the Cat-Clock is not only a device for "archival", but also a time machine.
* Fuzz's voice is more compressed in Archive Announcement 2 than in Archive Announcement 1!. This could mean Fuzz has entered Flipnote Hatena, perhaps to bring the Cat-Clock into Hatena City.

*The team thought they could manage me. Now I manage them. Would you like to be a team member? Oh, who am I kidding? At this point, you already are!! :)*

* Fuzz is heavily hinted to be a memory virus. The code teased in Archive Announcement 2 leads to an unlisted video regarding these viruses. With his goal of achieving time travel, it can be inferred that Fuzz wants to alter the past so people would remember him, gaining access to the physical world.
