Troper-Hooty! Reporting for Hooty!
I first came into this world exclaiming hoot. After that, I said hoot-hoot! Somehow, I wound up attached to Eda’s front door. It is only because of me that her house turned into the famous OWL HOUSE. I can leave the house and become Porta-Hooty, but I don’t do that too often, which is fine with me! I’m content being tethered to the front door, eating whatever bugs come my way and throwing tea parties for the Emperor’s Coven members!
For a while, it was just me, Eda, and King. Then one day, Eda brought a girl named Luz from the Human realm! Luz sure brought some excitement into my life. One time, she and her friends cast a spell that caused me to grow legs! She also enabled a resolution between Eda and her sister, and let the former head of the Emperor’s Coven bunker in our house... which is how I met my beloved LULU!
Now, I don’t play favorites, but out of all my best friends, Lulu is my bestest best friend! I was distraught when she left for her parents, but at least we became pen pals... EVEN THOUGH I CAN’T HOLD A PEN!
With my Lulu gone, I found other ways to keep myself busy. Like performing a DNA test on King, giving Eda sleeping potions, and – oh yeah – kidnapping Amity and shoving her and Luz into a Tunnel of Love! They initially seemed startled, but hey, that’s what enabled those lovebirds to become GFs! You have me to thank for that, Lumity shippers!
Thankfully, Lulu returned sometime later, and I traveled along with her and Eda for a journey through the Isles’ snowy mountains. It was good to reunite with Lulu, but the situation quickly went dire... me and Lilith got kidnapped by the Blight Abomatons, and that’s not even the worst part! The Collector got unleashed, and when me and Lulu were trying to save King, I got turned into a puppet!
I don’t really remember what happened after that... I vaguely recall Lilith’s tears awaking me to recite poetry, but my next clear memory is being returned to normal... and to see my dear Lulu welcoming me back!
Things went great from that point. Belos was defeated, and the Collector learned to have fun without turning witches and owl tubes into puppets. But most importantly, me and Lulu are still together! In fact, we’re designing a museum together, and I’ll be the curator once it’s finished!
If you want to hear me talk even more – well, then you’d be one of the first! But scroll through the rest of this article to view all my tropes – narrated by yours HOOT-ly! HOOT!
My Tropes. HOOT!
- Adorable Abomination: I’m quite adorable if I do say so myself. I don’t get why I cause so many people to run off screaming!
- Affectionate Nickname: My darling Lulu started calling me "Hootsifer" after we became friends.
- Ambiguous Innocence: I always keep up an upbeat and cheerful personality, but I’m able to beat up any guards that try to enter the Owl House, all while making friendly remarks and throwing them tea parties! Am I being genuine, and don’t understand who the guards are, or am I mocking them as I brutalize them? No one knows, including myself! HOOT!
- Ambiguous Species: No one has no idea what I am when they meet me. I guess I cause a lot of mystery.
- Amusing Injuries: I get beat up a lot. It never hurts, though. Except when it does. HOOT!
- Animal Species Accent: I hoot a lot. HOOT!
- Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Sometimes, when I’m trying to focus on something, I- OH MY GOSH A BUG! *eats the bug*
- Badass Adorable: I throw nice tea parties for the guards after I beat them. I think they’re quite fun, but none of the guards seem to think so.
- Beware the Silly Ones: You shouldn’t judge my tea parties until you try them! No one I’ve held them with has ever come back! HOOT!
- Big Creepy-Crawlies: I’m a bug demon; a type of worm, you could say.
- Body Horror: The more people learn about me, the more horrified they become by my unusual owl tube body! I think all bodies are beautiful, however. HOOT!
- Butt-Monkey: I’m not a monkey, nor do I have a butt, but I sure do get beat around a lot!
- Cannot Tell Fiction from Reality: The world is just such a mystical place, fact and fiction just blend together! It doesn’t bother me though, because I’m pleased with every aspect of it all - except for that other Hooty Luz made appear on that drawing once! THAT GUY BETTER NOT COME BACK!
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: I don’t crouch or hide – I'm always right in your face ALL OF THE TIME. But people are surprised when they learn this obnoxious owl tube is actually what saved Eda from the Emperor’s coven for all those years.
- Damned By a Fool's Praise: For whatever reason, when I give advice or opinion on something, people tend to do the opposite of whatever I suggest. I don’t understand why they do this – I got all my knowledge from Eda, the Owl Lady, and I turned out great! I don’t know why me pointing this out to Eda made her immediately decide to enroll Luz in Hexside.
- Dem Bones: Sometimes I have to take off my cute owl skin to clean, and all I’m left with is my skeleton. I can’t see what I look like then because I don’t have my eyes, but I bet I still look adorable! I also don’t have my ears so I can’t hear if anyone screams, but I’m sure that doesn’t matter!
- Desperately Craves Affection: People tend to run off in the other direction whenever they come near me. It’s always such a surprise whenever someone willingly comes near me!
- Equippable Ally: I can become Porta-Hooty, reporting for hooty! As Porta-Hooty, I turn my wonderful lengthy body into a grenade launcher and helicopter. It’s so useful that people don’t even care they have to vomit after watching me detach myself!
- The Friend Nobody Likes: Eda probably would have kicked me out years ago if I wasn’t attached to the house! HOOT!
- Genius Loci: I sure do breathe life into the Owl House; literally, I’m a part of the house and cause the walls to breathe!
- Heli-Critter: If I spin my body around fast enough, I can make myself and anyone wearing me fly! Porta-HOOTY!
- Instant Waking Skills: When trespassers step onto the property, I go from sleepwalking to sleep-HOOTING!
- Moving Buildings: With the help of a witch and the moon, I sprout legs and walk! It’s sure helped Eda avoid the law over the years! HOOT!
- Mysterious Past: No one really knows what my life was like before Luz came to the Isles – besides Gus, who I told my whole life to! My first word was hoot. My second word was hoot-hoot!
- Nigh-Invulnerability: I may get a few scratches, but my infinitely elongating body can take anything that’s thrown at it. HOOT!
- No Indoor Voice: I don’t need to have an indoor voice; I live on the outside of a front door! HOOT!
- No Sense of Personal Space: I like finding new friends, so I usually want to get as close to them as possible. Amity sure didn’t appreciate it that one time before Grom, though!
- Odd Friendship: Lilith, the former head of the Emperor’s coven who tried to establish herself a foreboding woman, quickly became my best friend when she was stripped of her ranking and forced to bunker down at the Owl House for a while. Some may think that being stuck around an obnoxiously cheery owl worm would be the most degrading part of the experience, but Lulu and I quickly became the best of friends. People tend to become my friend only if there’s no other option, but Lulu stuck with me long after she left the Owl House! She truly is the greatest friend an owl tube could ask for. HOOT!
- One-Man Army: Who needs someone else to protect the Owl House when you’ve got HOOTY?
- Open Sesame: The very first time Luz arrived, I tried to start a new thing where Eda uses a password to enter the Owl House! She just poked me in the eyes, so I never tried that again.
- Pen Pals: Lulu suggested doing this when she left, BUT I CAN’T HOLD A PEN! Thankfully, I figured out I could peck on typewriter keys
- The Pig-Pen: I know it was cleaning day, but rolling around in mud just seemed like a really good idea!
- Protectorate: I’ve sworn to protect the Owl House, and Eda put me in the front door to guarantee it! If any intruder wants to enter the Owl House, they’ll have to go through ME!
- Really 700 Years Old: Amity said that it takes a couple thousand years for house demons to go nuts. I’m a house demon, and I’m certainly very nutty!
- Rubber Man: There’s no limit to how far I can stretch my owl tube body!
- Sapient House: I don’t know if I’m all that sapient, but I sure am one with the house!
- Shipper on Deck: Luz and Amity are the perfect G Fs, but Luz was a bit afraid to ask her out at first. So I took the most logical decision of kidnapping Amity and forcibly shoving the two into my self-made Tunnel of Love!
- Stomach of Holding: My stomach can hold mail, books, explosive potions, and anything else I put my beak into!
- Supreme Chef: I’m a very good baker! I put my blood, sweat, and tears into the food! Literally!
- Use Your Head: I use my head all the time, because my body is all head!
- Verbal Tic: I exclaim “HOOT” a lot, but I try to keep it to a minimum. HOOT!
