Marnie’s Caution Hat was harder to balance than expected, and thus an inadequate hiding place for Mr. Freebs.

'Witches Before Wizards' screenshot redraw

[Image description: a screenshot redraw of Luz and Eda from The Owl House, painted digitally. Eda's in her pajamas, drinking from a mug and leaning away from Luz, who approaches her excitedly.

Luz is wearing a black witch's robe and a spray-painted black traffic cone to resemble a witch hat, smiling and taking hold of Eda's arm. King sits in a high chair in the background, stabbing his breakfast with a fork.

The second image is the original screenshot. End description.]

“Going Native” trope and idealizing the “other world” in The Owl House

I’m surprised that Luz’s obsession with becoming a witch wasn’t ever seen as offensive by anyone on the Isles. Like the witches on the boiling isles are shown to be born that way and it’s kinda odd how Luz shows up with her own biases and preconceived notions about witches and immediately applies them to Eda and others.

It’s like someone showing up to a remote village only having read about the people but having simultaneously romanticized their culture. Maybe it’s my sociology/anthropology major brain interpreting it that way lmao but that’s a big no no when it comes to interacting with another culture.

I know Eda tells her she’s wearing a dirty traffic cone on her head in the second episode when she dresses up in the stereotypical witch attire. But other than that, I don’t recall her getting much flack for her behavior. (Unless we’re including Amity saying she’s not a witch but I feel like that was more about Amity’s personal gripe with Luz)

I think this is an example of the “going native” trope where the protagonist fully immerses themselves in the new world that they’ve been thrust into. Think Anne Boonchuy in Amphibia (specifically her connection to Wartwood) or even more so, Jake Sully becoming one of the Na’vi in Avatar. However, I think TOH is an underdeveloped example of the trope because the show’s narrative barely examines Luz’s journey from outsider to respectable member of the Boiling Isles.

Basically, Luz encountered such little obstacles when it came to being accepted in the isles and I feel like that was so unrealistic. It’s like no one cares that she’s a human at all. It’s completely different from how Anne was treated in Amphibia. She was considered a monster for most of season one, which was funny, but also interesting because it made her character development stand out all the more when the townspeople eventually considered her one of their own.

I guess what bothers me is that the show didn’t really demonstrate Luz earning her position in the boiling isles, which I feel like is important when it comes to considering oneself part of a culture that has been stereotyped and put down. And especially since she ended up being their savior against Belos.

Plus, Luz treating their everyday lives like a fantasy come true feels sorta icky. I feel like that was okay at first, but I never got the feeling that the novelty ever wore off. At some point, Luz should’ve began to acknowledge the boiling isles as just another place and not some fantasy world where she could escape from reality.

Heart behind the lie # 17 : bad day

Wukong doens't have the greatest day but Mac is here

Sun Wukong looked at his bedroom ceiling, lost in thoughts, unwilling to move, still in his sheets. Sock was sleeping on his chest, curled up in a ball of fluff, purring as he softly stroked her back. It was comforting to awaken at her sides, to feel a heart beating besides his own. She moved in quite recently, and yet she acted as if she owned his shack, pushing things he dared to put on the edge of a table, and claiming him as her personal bed. He had a mind to scold her at first, but he was quickly won over, unable to stay mad at such an adorable creature. 

He usually rose with the sun, awakened by the first touches of light gifted by the all-encompassing star, but now, even if he awakened at dawn, he didn't get out of his sheets until, at least, mid-morning. Trapped by the bossy cat he welcomed in his humble house. But he didn't mind that much, her presence was soothing, a warmth he latched on greedily every time he heard echoes of the witch. The least he could do was reward her with pets and coos until she was hungry enough to demand food. 

“mmrp”, Sock looked up, at last awakened, and yawned loudly, rubbing her face with her front paws. Sun Wukong watched her fondly, petting her almost unconsciously, his claws lost in her fuzzy fur. She rose from his chest and jumped out of the bed, meowing impatiently at him

"I'm coming, I'm coming." Huffed the sage, he left his sheets and slowly removed the red scarf resting on his neck, breathing in one last whiff of the warrior. He carefully folded it and put it on his bed table. The sage dragged himself to the kitchen, raising an amused eyebrow when the feline decided to weave herself in-between his legs at each of his steps. "You know doing this is just slowing me down." Sock meowed louder, probably offended, and trotted towards the fine chinaware bowl put at the foot of his dinner table (one of the richest bowls he possessed). "You're a real glutton." Scoffed the sage, he took the cat food he bought at Sandy's recommandation and fed the walking-belly that was his cat. Sock dived happily in her bowl, wolfing on the food joyously. Sun Wukong smiled at her hunger. He took peach milk for himself and sat on his couch, turning on his TV in hope of finding a good show. Sock sat beside him the second she finished her meal. 

"As expected, my shows are the best." Mumbled the King as he put on the first episode of Monkey King : the animated series. Sock pawed at his hand, and he absent mindedly petted her while drinking his milk. She meowed in delight and rolled on herself, showing her fluffy belly. Sun Wukong cooed at the sight but stopped himself before he could snuggle her. "I wanna touch the floof, but is this a trap?" Sock tilted her head, the very picture of innocence. "Last time you bit me." She stared at him with bead-like eyes, and he couldn't resist, he petted her belly. She immediately bit his hands and played with it, tail flickering in delight. "Why each time…" Sighed the sage, but he let her do as she pleased. He spilled some milk on himself as he tried to grab the remote without disturbing his cat. 

"Aw man, I need to change now." Sighed the sage, he rose and walked in his bedroom, Sock followed him curiously, jumping on his bed as he dived in his wardrobe. "Hm… I don't have much clothes, do I…" Mumbled the King as he pulled out some of his outfits. "You think he noticed?" Asked Sun Wukong, he turned towards Sock with a worried pout, she meowed, licking her paw and rubbing her fuzzy head. "I mean, I'm a monkey, I'm not even supposed to wear clothes." Sock stopped her licking and looked at him with narrowed eyes. "Stop judging me, you traffic cone shaped cat. I'm right, aren't I. Besides, I can make more clothes with my hair." Reasoned the King, but the orange furred cat didn't look very convinced. "Do you think he thinks I'm a slob?" Sighed Sun Wukong as he sat beside the little lady and fell back in the bed, Sock meowed and trotted towards him, climbing him and kneading his chest. "Yeah, you're right, hair clothes can be poofed, I shouldn't get out with them." Sock walked over him and sat on his face. "So-" . Sun Wukong sat up and removed the cat peacefully sitting on his face, he looked at her with a frown. "Did you just try to kill me?" She rolled in his lap and looked up with doe-like eyes "….yeah, okay, you're too adorable for that aren’t you?" Cooed the sage as he softly petted her." Maybe I should go shopping…"

The sage rose after a few more pets, he put on his hoodie and invoked two clones with a bunch of his hair. 

"You want our help boss?" Asked one clone as he leaned over the King. 

"Should we ask Macaque if he wants something?" Asked the other as he drowned Sock in coos and pets. "Oh yes, you're adorable, you fluffy triangle. Who's the best girl, you are!" 

"Ask Macaque?" Repeated the sage. 

"With the phone, he doesn't go outside much either, he might need something." Replied the clone.

"Oh that's not a bad idea!" Exclaimed the other clone as he rushed to fetch the phone. 

"Wait… Are you sure? We might bother him?" Mumbled the sage. 

"Come on, boss. You never even send him a message." Whined the clone petting his cat, the sage sighed at his childishness. 

"I don't want to be too pushy."

"Maybe he wants you to be pushy." Snickered the clone, Sun Wukong grabbed a nearby pillow and threw it at the clone. Said clone squeaked, surprised, and hid behind Sock. "You wouldn't hurt our precious lady, would you."

"… you're lucky I'm a gentleman." Huffed the sage as he eyed the fluffy cat pawing at his clone snout, she was too adorable for her own good. 

The other clone barged in the bedroom with the phone and their peach printed credit card, he gave the phone to the sage and leaned over him. The sage sat on the bed, the two clones hovering around with curiosity. 

"Let me breathe." Groaned the King, trying to push his clones away, in vain. 

"What can we say to him ?" Asked the one on his left. 

"Let's begin with a “good morning”, oh, and a heart !" 

"Are you crazy!? No heart." Stammered the King, tail flickering in embarrassment. Sock pawed at it with glee, chasing it like an excited cub. 

"Bummer." Whined the clone on his right. 

The King thought a second, fingers hovering above his screen, before sending a shy “good mowning”. He immediately dropped his phone, almost as if it burned him, and played nervously with the strings of his hoodie. 

"Don't worry, boss. You didn't send anything wrong." Assured the clone in his right. 

"Yeah, he gave you his number, that means he wants to communicate." Comforted the clone on his left. Sun Wukong opened his mouth, ready to reply but he was cut by the sharp “ding”of his phone. He took his device, tail widely wagging, eyes glued to the screen. 

Macaque : Good morning. It's Wukong, right? 

"He replied so fastly! That means he wants to talk." Reasoned one of his clones.

"Yeah…" muttered the sage with a soft smile blooming on the edge of his lips. 

Me : yea, its Wukong. 

Macaque : what's up ? 

"Go on, ask him if he wants something from the city." Edged the clone on his left. 

"Yeah! Send little hearts and all, I like the hearts emoji!" 

"You both stay away from the phone!" Grumbled the King. 

Me : I'm gona go inn the citi. You want somthig? 

Macaque : don't you hate crowds? 

Me : a bit. But I nid to buy somthig. 

Macaque : you're gonna be okay? 

Me : I'm gona be with som clones. 

Macaque : the city is gonna be in chaos with numerous Wukongs. 

Me : hey! I'm charmig! 

Macaque : sure, in your head.

Me : rude. 

Macaque : That's my middle name. 

Me : uatheverr, you nid somthig or what? 

Macaque : well, if you see some pillows and blankets why not. I like trees, but you know, some comfort sounds nice. 

Me : you dont hav a bed ? 

Macaque : of course I don't, I sleep in trees like a true monkey. 

Me : want me to maide you one? 

Macaque : what? A bed ? 

Me : yea, or a house, uatheverr. To help, you kno. 

Macaque : That's sweet if you. But it's fine, if you just get me some pillows it's fine. 

Me : you sure? 

Macaque : yeah, don't worry. 

Me : ok, tell me if you chang your minnd. 

Macaque : okay. Thanks for thinking of me by the way. 

Me : your welcom. 

Macaque : keep me updated on your little trip, okay? 

Me : ok, wish me luk. 

Macaque : Good luck, great sage. Call someone if you have a problem downtown. 

Me : my clones will be their. 

Macaque : still, we never know. 

Me : ok, thanks for worryring, I apreciatt it. 

Macaque : yeah, yeah, don't sweat it. 

Me : ♥️

Wukong screeched and pushed away the clone that dared send the emoji, he jumped on his feet and paced anxiously, tail lashing at each of his steps. 

"Are you serious!? Why did you do that!??" Asked the sage. 

"I mean, it's not like it’s wrong. You really do l-" Wukong jumped on the clone and smothered him with a pillow. Sock jumped out of the bed, frightened by the sudden movement. 

"Aw boss, you scared our lil lady." Snickered the other clone. 

"Shut up! I can't believe you did that."

Wukong took his phone and typed at light speed, heart hammering inside of his chest. 

Me : slip of finngerr, srry

Macaque : yeah, okay. Figured you'd struggled with your phone, old man. 

Me : I'm in my prime! 

Macaque : That's what all the old man says. 

Me : how dar you. 

Macaque : I dare 😈

Me : your evil. 

Macaque : proud to be 

Me : your the same age 

Macaque : But I look better. 

Me : in your head, I'm the hadsom one

Macaque : but I'm the gorgeous one

Me : uatheverr, I'm going. 

Macaque : yep, you're basically admitting my gorgeousness by fleeing. 

Me : your delusionnal 

"Aw, but you do think he looks gorgeous boss–"

"I'm this close to poof you if you don't shut your big mouth." Hissed the sage, the clones snickered like a little gremlin and hid behind his peer. 

Sun Wukong sighed, annoyed, but he didn't poof them. The clones covered themself with hats and he, himself, put on a pair of sunglasses. They left the shack together after intensely petting Sock, drowning her in coos and pets, and apologizing for frightening her earlier. 

"You think she'll be okay alone?" Asked one clone as they soared through the sky. 

"She's a smart one, it'll be okay." Replied the sage, even if he had to admit that leaving her alone was quite nerve wracking. 

"She's the smartest, that's true!" Laughed the clone on his left. 

"Yep, our little genius." Cooed the one on his right. 

They reached Megapolis quite quickly, they landed in one of the less crowded streets and began to walk among mortals. The two clones were walking at each of his sides, firmly grasping one of his arms, knowing fully his discomfort with crowds. Attention was something he had once seeked in his youth, but it was when cities were scrace, and when words traveled slowly. This era was a noisy one, he learned quite quickly that appearances were almost everything for people with standings. Here, people ran toward celebrities like moths to a flame, and he wasn't keen on experiencing that. 

The clones dragged him in a nearby clothes store, pushing toward rows and rows of different articles. 

"What type of clothes are you seeking, boss?" Asked one of the clones as he rummaged through the rows. 

"Hm, I don't know, something nice?" 

"Yeah, but are we searching for hanfus or more modern clothing?" 

"We can visit the hanfu shop later, I know a good one nearby. For now I just want to… diversify my wardrobe." 

"Yeah, so something nice for Macaque!" Concluded one clone. 

"Wha–I-it's not for Macaque, it's…for my image and all, you know."

"Yeah, sure." Snickered the other clone. "What about this?" The clone pointed at a black leather jacket with violet trims.

"I don't know, it's not really my style." Mumbled the sage. 

"We don't have a style, boss. You just throw on whatever each morning."

"Shut it, we do have a style. We're… effortlessly classy."

"Yeah, nah. We look good, sure. But that's not a style."

"Guys, what about this!?" The other clone pointed at a pearl-white dress that looked suspiciously like what mortals would wear at a wedding. 

"I'm not getting married." Sighed the sage. 

"Yet. We never know." Teased the clone, the King glared at him and turned away. 

"You both are useless if you keep teasing me!" Groaned Sun Wukong with red coated cheeks. 

"Aw, don't sulk boss. But you know, it's just so rare for you to do something like this, it's teasing material." Giggled one of the clones, he leaned over the sage and ruffled his hair. 

"Yeah, whatever, just help me choose something." Sighed the King as he pushed the clingy clone away. 

Even if his two clones were menaces, they did choose some nice clothing for him, shirts that looked good, others more casual, they were quite helpful when they weren't being insufferable. 

" I'm telling you, it's better if we go with a more cute and innocent style." Argued the clone on his left with a light pinkish dress in his hands. 

"Innocence is boring. It's better if we're more aggressive. Besides, we'll look good in this!" Replied the clone on his right with a high slit dark dress in his hands. 

"If we wear something like this, Macaque is just gonna know our intentions right away!" Groaned the clone on his left. 

"That's the plan. It'd be better if we're pushy. No misunderstanding, he'll know straight away we're flirting."

"Macaque is not the type to like clingy people."

"We're not people, we're the handsome Monkey King, it's not the same."

"Still, innocence suits us better."

"You're kidding? We have a good body, we gotta show it."

"That's your opinio-"

"Guys!" Cut the sage. "It's therapy, not a candlelight dinner. I'm not wearing any of this at therapy."

"But boss-"

"Not buts, put the dresses away."

"You're sure? Because we never know, if you have a date later on-"

"I'm not gonna repeat myself, boys." Warned the King, the clones whined but heeded his words anyway. 

They left the store after a bit, heading toward the hanfu shop. Sun Wukong was more at ease there, hanfu was something he knew quite well, it was easier for him to look around. He did buy one purple hanfu, but it was only because his clones pestered him about it, not because it reminded him of someone, not at all. They bought some food and drinks right after, taking a breather outside. 

"We got a lot of good clothes!" Joyously exclaimed one clone, happily finishing his peach-tasted drink. 

"Yep, now we need pillows and blankets." Replied the other, licking his fingers for any lingering frost.

"Yeah…" Mumbled the King as he eyed the growing crowd invading the street. 

"You're okay, boss?" 

"It's nothing. Let's go, I'm tired."

"Leggo!" Yelled one of the clones with great enthusiasm. 

Turns out, choosing bedding took more time than looking for clothes. Sun Wukong normally didn't consider himself very picky when it came to bedding, but he wanted this to be perfect. Macaque deserved something great, something that would comfort him at night. 

"Boss, are we picking bedding for Macaque or for the damn Jade Emperor." Sighed one of his clones. 

"Yeah… Why are you so picky?" Whined the other. 

"Shut it, I just want something good for Macaque."

"The bedding we just saw was good, no?"

"No." Cut the sage. "The pillow was too big, Macaque needs something he can move around."

"Gods, it's been hours."

"Deal with it." Replied the sage. 

"You lovesick tyrant." Sun Wukong pinched the clone out of spite, the clone yelped and hid behind his peer, again. 

Wukong allowed his clones to take a breather outside, annoyed by their constant whines. The clones left the shop with glee, cackling like little menaces. The sage roamed inside the shop a little more, stopping when he caught sight of the perfect pillow, and a soft purple blanket. 

"Yeah, this is good." Muttered the King as he carefully looked at his finding. His tail was wagging widely behind him, happy to at last find something nice for Macaque. 

He flinched when he heard a yelp at his side, he turned toward the sound and found a woman with an open coffee cup glaring at him. Oh, he might have hitted her with his tail. 

"Oh, sorry. I didn't see you." Apologized the King. 

"You better pay for this." Groaned the woman as she pointed at the sullied bedding, she might have spilled her coffee on this after being hit by his tail. Sun Wukong was feeling guilty, but he wasn't the one wandering inside a bedding shop with an open coffee cup, he didn't want to cause trouble though. He already felt the curious gazes of the bystanders nipping at his skin. 

"Okay…"

"And for my shirt too!" She gestured at her top angrily. 

"Hm, it's not stained?"

"Are you kidding, look at this!" Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes and spotted a small, almost unseeable stain on her collar. "I have to buy another one!" Sun Wukong was suddenly reminded why he chose to live like a hermit. 

"Can't you just wash it?"

"No, it's ruined. It was quite expensive too! So you better compensate me." Now Sun Wukong was almost certain this woman was trying to scam him, and even if he did have the money, he wasn't a pushover. 

"I'm not gonna pay for this. A wash at most, but that's all."

"How rude! It wouldn't happen if not for you. Who even let you enter this shop!?"

"Hm, myself?"

"This shop is really desperate if they let demons enter." Oh great, she was a specist, just his luck. 

"Can I just go and pay for my bedding?" 

"How dare you try to get out of this!" She turned towards a nearby clerk and yelled : "bring me the manager! I'm not letting this thief escape."

"Thief? I didn't steal anything."

"You're trying to scam me!" In what world did this woman lived? Sun Wukong was tempted to give her money just to escape her. The manager came shortly after and asked about the situation. "You see, this demon here was trying to scam me! He purposely pushed me and sullied the bedding and my shirt!" 

"I didn't do it on purpose…and I can pay for the bedding, I just don't wanna buy you a whole nother shirt, the stain isn't even visible." Groaned the sage, fangs showing a little in irritation. 

"You see !? He's even threatening me! And why does he wear sunglasses inside, this is suspicious. Are we even sure he can pay?" 

"Hm… if you are willing to pay for the bedding, I don't see the problem?" Asked the manager as she turned towards the sage. 

"The problem is that you let demons enter and that is the result. I'm calling the police, he's probably a criminal or something."

"Yeah, I will probably become a criminal really soon." Mumbled the King with a murderous glint in his eyes. 

"See! He wants to hurt me! They are all the same!" She then proceeded to throw the rest of her coffee at him. It wasn't hot anymore, but he was now drenched with sugary coffee, him and the bedding he chose for Macaque. 

"What the–Ma'am, I'm going to ask you to leave."

"How dare you!? I'm a loyal customer! This shop has really fell low! What a disgrace." She stomped outside, angry as if she was the one drenched by coffee. 

"I'm terribly sorry, sir. Are you okay?"

"I'm…" Sun Wukong gulped, trying to reign his feelings. This was fine, he lived through worse. "Do you have another one?" He asked as he pointed to the coffee drenched bedding. 

"I'm sorry sir, but this was one of our last in this model."

"Oh…" Sun Wukong settled for the second best bedding he found for Macaque, and ended up paying for three beddings. Not because the manager asked him to, but because he felt obliged to do so. 

His clones rushed to his sides the second he left the shop. 

"Boss, why are you drenched?" 

"And why do you have three beddings?" 

"I'm… it’s nothing, let’s just go home." The clones looked at him worriedly but didn't push the subject. They left the city in silence, quietly returning to the sun drenched paradise they called home. 

Sun Wukong took a shower the second he landed in his shack, his clones groomed him a little after, making sure he looked good, for some reason. 

"Take care boss!" Chuckled one of the clones as he ruffled the sage. 

"Yeah, and enjoy~"

"Enjoy? Enjoy what?" But the clones were already poofed, the King turned towards Sock (who was comfortably lying on the edge of the couch) but the cat didn't seem to know. Sun Wukong rose when he heard someone knocking at his door, he opened it and froze when he saw Macaque in all his glory. 

"Hey, got your message. How was your little trip?"

"Message? What-..." Sun Wukong cut himself and groaned, those little gremlins were in this. He invited the other, and nervously handed the bedding he bought for him. 

"Oh, thanks!" Mumbled the warrior, he took the bedding with a shy smile. 

"Yeah, you're welcome. The trip was fine."

"You're sure? You look… tired."

"It's fine. I'm fine" . Sighed the sage. "It's just… I w-wanted to give you better bedding."

"This one is good. I like-.. Are you crying?" Sun Wukong felt his cheeks with the tip of his fingers, and indeed he was crying. 

"What… sorry, I don't know…"The sage flushed, embarrassed, and tried to wipe away his tears. Why was he this sensitive? He lived through worse, this was pathetic. One mean woman wasn't meant to make the great sage equal to heaven cry. 

"I'm… Are you okay? Why… I like the bedding I swear. It was very nice of you. I-"

"It's not that." Cut the sage, frustrated with himself. "It's just a bad day."

"Oh… hm, y-you wanna hang out then?" Sun Wukong looked up with a running nose. 

"You wanna watch Monkey King : the animated series?" Quietly asked the sage, his voice wavering a little. 

"Yeah, sure." Replied Macaque with the shadow of a smile. 

They sat on the couch, and Sock immediately jumped on his lap, taking her throne with elegance. They watched the series in silence, sometimes bickering about silly plot points. Macaque's tail shyly brushed against his own after a few episodes, a familiar way to ask for permission, Sun Wukong brushed back, and soon the two tails found each other and intertwined tightly. They said nothing of it, but both wore silly little smiles for the rest of the day.

traffic cone witch

[shittest-wizard-ever]

HC about you: you have a hat. it’s either an orange witches’ hat traffic cone OR a large, massively tall and pointed, wide-brimmed dirty blue monstrosity.

written in silvery sequins of irregular pattern on the side - either super-glued or stitched depending on the material - is written the word « WIZZARD »

the reason you’re such a shitty wizard is a magical accident at wizard school. you have a world-making, world-ending spell trapped, uncast, in your head. it scares any other spells that you try to learn right out.

(you actually made the hat FOR the gimmick blog, but it’s hideously uncomfortable and quite heavy so you never wear it despite how much effort you put into it. it sits by your computer. you sit down to go on tumblr at home and look at it and feel guilty for not wearing it.)

((wear the hat.))

They (the character) would have a hat like that and he would wear it proudly.

Nothing else is true tho. Sorry.

I don't even use a computer. I'm always on mobile

I see everyone is interested in Deep ocean sea witch Hobie X mermaid Reader

Imagine reader who loves collecting human things like Ariel from the little mermaid.  Bringing the most interesting/shiny things to Hobie’s cave to show him. he doesn’t mind till he realises there’s a massive growing collection of human items in his cave taking up space, but he can’t throw them out because they belong to reader!

oh and maybe reader brings things from coral reefs for hobie since he doesn’t come to the shallow waters often. Things like bright corals and pretty shells? 

-🪶anon

Cute!!! Mermaid R brings the weirdest things too! There's a few traffic cones and even a parasol in his collection courtesy of mermaid R! Ofc he always has a place for them but when Hobie finally runs out of space well he'll simply make space for the new trinkets they bring to him by magicking a new area in the cave!

Every time Hobie hears them coming his arms are already outstretched (def not waiting for a hug nuh uh) for all the new stuff they found for him ❤️

AND ANOTHER THING!

In the second episodes of both season 1 AND season 3, Luz meets Eda again wearing a witch costume.

However! In season 1, Luz’s attempt at a witch costume was amateur, what with the dirty traffic cone, and a normal bath robe.

But in season 3, it’s Azura cosplay, and it looks fancier/more authentic. More put together.

I like to think this is symbolic to Luz’s development as a witch overall.

In Witch Hat Atelier, you either align yourself with the party hats or the traffic cones. If you’re a traffic cone, it means you're evil.

uah if u had to wear one hat for all ur life whjat would that hat be

um i choose a witch's hat cus then id be perceived as a witch or a traffic cone my whole life

[artemisbarnowl]

Work buddy reminded me how Surprised other people are that australians call safety cones 'witches hats'. It's a very fun name and we're right to do so but I can imagine for people who just call them traffic markers or whatever it's a lot of whimsy to take in at once.
