No worries! I'm in the midst of finals season, so my replies and activity have been really scattered as well.

Asymptote is indeed in reference to maths! I really really really love mathematics, which you can probably see in OCs of mine such as Klara Spejl. Doing maths is honestly one of my favourite things in the world, I could spend hours on computations. Unfortunately, proofs are my ultimate nemesis, and because of that, the only maths I'll ever do academically is applied only (alas, pure maths... I may learn to love you outside of concepts more).

Sorry for the small tangent, it's just that maths is one of my favourite things, and it's been one of my favourite things for as long as I can remember, even back in primary/elementary school. So when coming up with my username, I wanted something that would herald to a thing I really love!!! I also really love puns, and found it really funny when I learned about asymptotes in early highschool ("haha, it sounds like ass-symptote!") and wanted to make a joke out of that and the phrase "dat ass". So therefore, DatAsymptote was formed.

My tumblr username at one point was also "donttouchmyasymptote", which I thought was a really funny nod to a) symptotes, b) respecting people's permission and bodily autonomy.

Asymptotes are definitely used outside of 11th grade maths, so if you really really really love asymptotes and want to do more maths, you're bound to see them more!!!!
