Somebody once told me that the way you write “fluffy” in plural depends on your headcannon.
But I still get frustrated when I see somebody write it “fluffys”.

Maybe the people writing “fluffys” are ESL?

Many things depend on headcanon, but how to spell “fluffy” is probably not one of them.
I love this little professor guy though, that is the face of someone who has seen it spelled wrong far too many times.

I mean, primarily I would do ‘Fluffies’ … But at the same time I could see certain sentences where it makes sense~ maybe?

To be fair, the English language rules/system doesn’t always apply like this, or make sense: Plural words that doesn’t end in an S, like children, people, teeth, feet, etc.

It’s whichever looks best. English is descriptive, not proscriptive.
I would say ‘fluffies’, but ‘fluffys’ isn’t abhorrent.

Screw off, if Shakespeare didn’t bother to spell his name consistently, why do you get to say what the correct plural of an imaginary species is?
I hate prescriptivists. English got along fine without rules for hundreds of years, then some upper class twits decided to apply Latin rules to a mongrel Anglo-Saxon Norman language and screwed everything up. Now those rules are just an excuse to look down on people.
Edit: seriously, wtf difference does it make if you spell it “fluffies” or “fluffys”? The meaning is obvious either way. I really hate prescriptivists.
