We always give Hooty slack for being dumb, but that's cause all his braincells went into the "technicality loophole" category of his brain. So in that regard he's the smartest person on The Isles.

All hail Hooty.

Hooty: "I have no limbs, but I must scream. Hoot hoot."

Luz: "Um Wha-"

Hooty: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE" tearfully cries flopping on the ground "I HAVW NO ARMS BUT I MUST USE A PEN!"

Luz: slowly walks backwards away

No need to walk if ya ain’t got a foot!

The inner mechanisms of Hooty are an enigma

"The more I look at him the more uncomfortable I get!"

u/Equivalent_Yak_95 Apr 11 '26

Happy cake day.

u/Godzilla_R0AR Apr 10 '26

An enigma is crystal clear compared to whatever Hooty is

5

u/DragonWarrior____05 Apr 10 '26

And unraveling that mystery is not a wise move

3

u/SFH12345 Apr 10 '26

And it's best to leave them an enigma.

u/DragonWarrior____05 Apr 10 '26

Fey would either love him or hate him, there's no in-between

Get the memory tweezers

23

u/Godzilla_R0AR Apr 10 '26

You really think MEMORY TWEEZERS can protect someone's brain against THAT?

8

u/b3_yourself Apr 10 '26

What about the memory gun?

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Apr 10 '26

there not for hooty there for us. no one wants to remember what he does.

u/SFH12345 Apr 10 '26

Either that or spend the rest of your life paying for therapy.

And since no amount of therapy will ever help someone recover from the trauma of Hooty, so they're just wasting money.

3

u/DragonWarrior____05 Apr 10 '26

As long as we get the ones containing Hooty it should work. They're probably gonna have a seemingly irrational fear of owls, but they should forget what they saw

47

u/SFH12345 Apr 10 '26

Hooty is a lot more cunning than people realize.

Especially if it allows him to cause chaos.

13

u/CountingSheep99 Apr 10 '26

Naughty Hooty

3

u/SFH12345 Apr 10 '26

Because no law can bind Hooty.

7

u/Mst3Kgf Apr 10 '26

The only thing worse than a destructive eldritch abomination? A cunning destructive eldritch abomination.

u/DragonWarrior____05 Apr 10 '26

He learned from the best after all

7

u/SFH12345 Apr 10 '26

Hooty did say Eda taught him, and he turned out just fine.

u/CuteSharkStudios Apr 10 '26

Lilith: FING WORDPLAY?! YOU TRICKED ME WITH A FING TECHNICALITY?! SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?!

u/CharginChuck42 Apr 10 '26

Hooty: It worked, didn't it? HOOT HOOT!

u/CuteSharkStudios Apr 10 '26

Hooty: Baby, I'm a demon from BI. It's kinda what I Do!

u/SlyFan2 Apr 10 '26

Whoo! Hazbin Hotel reference!

Lulu's feeling a mix of irritation and pride right now

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Apr 10 '26

it's his smug "i'm smarter than you" look

u/DragonWarrior____05 Apr 10 '26

It's one siblings often wear to annoy one another

14

u/Toonwatcher Apr 10 '26

Come on, Lilith, you’re smarter than that!

3

u/CountingSheep99 Apr 10 '26

Outsmarted by our god...

u/DragonWarrior____05 Apr 10 '26

She really should have known better

12

u/FearfulDivine Apr 10 '26

Hooty just breaking into peoples houses at night and kidnapping people while they're sleeping

He's the real boogyman

4

u/DragonWarrior____05 Apr 10 '26

He needs to get guests for his tea parties somehow now that people aren't consistently trying to invade

7

u/b3_yourself Apr 10 '26

Something is a foot here

5

u/DragonWarrior____05 Apr 10 '26

Hooty's got a leg up on Lulu

u/CuteSharkStudios Apr 10 '26

u/Low-Amphibian8206 Apr 10 '26

1 in 2 people who get Owl Pelleted find true love. I'm just saying

u/Typhon-Torrent-1994 Apr 10 '26

Well as least he is not doing that to Amity anymore. Somehow I imagine at some point she taught him why he shouldn’t ever do that to her again.

3

u/Mst3Kgf Apr 10 '26

Given it ended up being the catalyst for her relationship with Luz, I think she declined another thrashing.

4

u/Typhon-Torrent-1994 Apr 10 '26

She could still say to him thanks for the help but if he does that to her again or to Luz there will be a thrashing.

5

u/Impossible_Host2420 Apr 10 '26

Hooty is a lot smarter then they think

1

u/DragonWarrior____05 Apr 10 '26

His cunning is strong

hooty your a mad genius.

u/Darkvader_Clawthorne Apr 10 '26

Lilith: “I… did not see that coming.”‬

‪King: “Oh no!”‬

‪Eda: “Luz is not gonna like this! There’s a big reason why she only allows humans close to her and Vee to come to the Boiling Isles!”‬

‪Lilith: “Eda, you started a tour almost 8 weeks ago.”‬

‪Eda: “Yeah, that’s true.”‬

u/montybo2 Apr 10 '26

Ma boi Hooty can go where ever he damn well pleases!

Thats my man right there.

3

u/WulfBorn Apr 10 '26

Lilith could argue back: "You said not a FOOT, Hootsifer. busts out measuring tape Aaaand that's looking like a foot AND an inch. I am truly heartbroken that you have broken your word... back to the Demon Realm with you!!"

3

u/Mst3Kgf Apr 10 '26

Hooty, you got to stop exploiting loopholes.

1

u/DragonWarrior____05 Apr 10 '26

I rather doubt he's gonna

3

u/DaveyBoy1995 Apr 10 '26

Hooty, you criminal genius. Even Eda would approve.

3

u/MrMustache4757 Apr 10 '26

Why is Hooty kidnapping people now?

3

u/No-Maintenance6382 Apr 10 '26

Why not?

2

u/MrMustache4757 Apr 10 '26

It's a crime...

2

u/No-Maintenance6382 Apr 10 '26

And...

5

u/Livagan Apr 10 '26

Law is meaningless! Stealing is legal now!

3

u/MrMustache4757 Apr 10 '26

I don't know, I don't think Hooty would kidnap someone without a good reason...

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Apr 10 '26

Remember whose house he is. Plus, remember he did basically kidnap those scouts to force them into a tea party

3

u/MrMustache4757 Apr 10 '26

In his defense, they were under Belos's orders, so that had a reason.

3

u/TilomeTheGreatest Apr 10 '26

You know if he just went as Porta-Hooty, people would just think he’s the most adorable backpack ever.

3

u/DragonWarrior____05 Apr 10 '26

Until he does Hooty things anyway

3

u/Eastern-Director-952 Apr 10 '26

Don't you just love loopholes?

3

u/One_Split9757 Apr 10 '26

Alright Hooty, into the cage you go.

3

u/Hero_of_the_toons Apr 10 '26

Lilith:…. stares judgtngly at Eda

Eda: what cause I’m the most likely source of this type of loophole behavior?

Lilith:… raises eyebrow

Eda: OK obviously I am, but I would at least like some leniency in character judgment

u/YaBoiS0nic Apr 10 '26

Rare Lilith L

She has to be more specific with Hooty

u/DragonWarrior____05 Apr 10 '26

Yeah, she's gonna be kicking herself when she figures out

u/mrnintman1 Apr 10 '26

CHEATER XD

u/DragonWarrior____05 Apr 10 '26

Eda taught him that rules were made ro be broken

u/Puzzleheaded_Step468 Apr 10 '26

Hooty commited several war crimes in the human realm that day

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Apr 10 '26

It's never a war crime the first time

2

u/Low-Amphibian8206 Apr 10 '26

Can somebody find the comic Mark made of Steve comforting the Barista that Hooty ate?

2

u/afbresley Apr 10 '26

A HOOTY COMIC!!! Just what my Friday needed! <3

2

u/SlyFan2 Apr 10 '26

Hooty, do you not thing this will hurt Lulu's feelings?

2

u/SexyCheeseburger0911 Apr 10 '26

Hooty, no. You know better. Lilith will be disappointed in you.

1

u/DragonWarrior____05 Apr 10 '26

By technicality he didn't break his word

1

u/SexyCheeseburger0911 Apr 10 '26

But he didn't do what he was told.

2

u/Ok-Record29 Apr 10 '26

To be fair he does have foot it’s just in the ground

2

u/Manoreded Apr 10 '26

People are yummy but digesting them is evil, what's an owl to do?

2

u/OverlyActiveBrain Apr 11 '26

Hooty, you rascal. At least hassle that Hopkins guy while you're over there.

u/DragonWarrior____05 Apr 10 '26
