Don't chop miqo'te ears off with hats

[Fellgon]

I never noticed a hat that dont have pockets for miqote.

Feels like gear is only really fitted to Midlanders and Lalafells, then everyone else gets to make do with whatever clipping or cutting happens.

Meh the excuse is probably something like "We don't have ears like that IRL" so... let's get the ball rolling on some gene-splicing... >.>

Hats don't cut off Miqo'te ears.

They squish em

yes, use cleavers instead.
It does the job faster

It looks kind of painful DX ears have cartilage in them, imagine having your ears pressed down tightly vs being free

Hey now, I'd planned to use a chef's knife

I can't edit the title sadly! I wanted to make a point but being sleep deprived might have hurt the attention I was trying to bring to miqo'te hats.

Depends on how solid Miqo ears are. Ears on cats are more flexible than human ones. Same with large dogs. The only potential sore spots would be at the base where it would be the thickest at which point it would probably feel like wearing a pair of headphones that were too tight.

actually, I prefer the hats that don't have the ears sticking out, most headgear looks ridiculous with ears sticking out of it.


maybe they can "visor" the ears.

IMO it's hit and miss with me in regards to the holes or pockets in headgear for Miqo ears. Some items it looks fine. Others not so much. However given that cat ears aren't made of bone they aren't really necessary from a functional standpoint. It would be like cutting holes in the sides of headgear that cover the full head for the races with humanly placed ears.

Even if they aren't made out of bone, they're still cartilage. Folding up your ears to fit under a hat would be extremely uncomfortable for any length of time. Try folding your ear over and holding it there, that's what it would feel like for a miqo'te.

And in real life, headgear does have space for your ears. Just look at motorbike or football helmets. It's just ours don't stick out far from our head so you don't notice it as much, but extra space is still there.

Because it is, there are only 3 models for each gear

roe - for roes and hroths
lala - for lalas
midlander - for every other race
