Jester Cane Fancy Dress Costume Accessory

Product Information

Et Tu, Brute?: Though she accepts Pomni's apology to her the first time she gets abandoned, understanding that there were extenuating circumstances at the time, her demeanor towards Pomni at the end after she has to drag herself towards Caine to be healed implies that she took her new friend abandoning her a second time despite her apology much harder. Though it's also implied that she could just still be feeling guilty herself over how much Pomni's first day ended up going wrong, if not both. Big Bad Wannabe: The Gloink Queen was conjured by Caine to be the Big Bad of the "Gather the Gloinks" adventure, but none of the cast take it seriously, and the Queen ends up being trounced by the Abstracted Kaufmo, an actual threat to the performers that eclipses anything the Gloink Queen could have done. Laughing Mad: When he introduces the performers to the "Gather the Gloinks" adventure, he goes into a rather deranged laughing fit.

Despair Event Horizon: They're the result of this: any of the performers completely losing it mentally and/or emotionally will result in them abstracting - which, with the Circus being the way it is (not to mention the inhabitants probably can't escape), is only a matter of time. Freaky costumes are all about the details. This world is terrifying enough as it is; if you hope to scare the pants off your pals, you had better be willing to go the extra mile nowadays. So if you’re looking for the creepiest accessory ever, this Psycho Jester Cane will be happy to serve you. In fact, it’s a little too eager to find its way into your possession (and into your house, at night)...

Sacrificial Lamb: Already gone right before Pomni shows up, establishing to both her and the audience that abstraction is a very real threat for the Circus performers. The Pollyanna: Her introductory tweet describes her as the "sweetest little optimist" in the Digital Circus, which she shows by reacting to the cleaver launched into her head as if it were nothing. That said, the Death Glare she gives Jax after he trips her in his introductory short implies that she has her limits, and the synopsis all but states she has her own trauma like all the others. It's heavily implied this is a coping mechanism and a survival tactic. Historic England had many roles in the kingdom, with jesters playing an integral role in the formation of arts and entertainment. Some have even claimed because of court jesters, we have stand-up comics today. Oh, how history surprises us! Insect Queen: They have a queen and a generally ant-like eusocial structure, living in a cavernous nest and bringing objects for the Queen to gloink. Well-Intentioned Extremist: The reason why he subjects the cast to their (accidental) torment is because he's trying to understand them better. His method of "understanding" involves life-threatening adventures in an attempt to keep them sane.

Happy Harlequin Hat: Her clown outfit comes with a two-pointed jester's cap. Pomni herself however, is anything but happy. Second Law of Gender-Bending: In a very unconventional version, Zooble being put in a genderless body in the Circus has lead them to not identify as any gender (whether from abandoning a previous one or just not remembering it). Jester hat: a colorful hat with bells on the ends that is often worn by jesters or clowns during Halloween.

Doomed Predecessor: Kaufmo was looking for the exit door before Pomni, abstracting because he couldn't find it. In a cruel twist, Pomni "successfully" finds the door but discovers it doesn't actually lead to anything. Compared with those of China, the abundance of jesters in Europe was relatively short-lived; yet for the time they lasted, they had a strong influence on court life. The jester died out as a court institution in about the 16th or 17th century in China and the early 18th century in Europe. Nonetheless, domestic jesters were still employed in homes less grand than those of kings. In Persia, the autocrat Shah Naseredin (r. 1848-96) had a jester called Karim Shir’ei, whose name means “opium addict” but also implies someone of lazy or sleepy demeanour. Karim Shir’ei would ridicule the whole court, including the shah. Once the shah asked whether there was a shortage of food, and the jester said, “Yes, I see Your Majesty is eating only five times a day.” Meaningful Name: Her name is the combination of "rag", referring to her being a rag doll, and Agatha, an Ancient Greek name meaning "good", alluding to her kind nature. Audience Surrogate: As the newest "addition" to the Circus, she serves as the relatable viewpoint of the audience, that being scared and confused out of her mind as she tries to make sense of the world she's now in and interacting with her more experienced fellows.

Troll: His introductory short has him trip Ragatha for no reason other than personal amusement, sporting a cheeky grin on his face the whole time. He also shoves Gangle during her intro just to break her mask. Older Than They Look: Her child-like demeanor and way of speaking would give the impression that she's one of the younger humans in the Circus, but she's actually 26, making her a year older than Pomni. Abhorrent Admirer: Caine sees her as this, though it's unclear whether it's because he has no feelings for her or if it's because her "friskiness" goes against the Digital Circus' In-Universe all ages rating. Female court jesters did exist, although they were usually treated more humanely and seen as entertainment rather than messengers like their male counterparts. The Gadfly: As he himself admits, he doesn't really care what happens as long as he gets to see funny things happen to people.The foolishness ascribed to jesters often relates to the fact that it is in their nature to speak their minds, irrespective of the consequences, which may entail the loss of liberty, their livelihood, and sometimes even their lives. The jester’s humour served vital functions, not just in terms of alleviating distress and increasing mirth during times of duress but also for its capacity to soothe tensions. They would insert humorous statements during heated discussions, thereby preventing unnecessary confrontations from occurring. As Otto points out:
