the tiny throne where chaos goes to hide in plain sight
means A small enclosed space, nook, or compartment for storing things or tucking yourself away.
from A shortening of "cubbyhole," which grew from "cub" in its old sense of a small pen, stall, or shed for animals — the same "cub" that gives us the young bear, both likely sharing a Germanic notion of a snug little enclosure. So a cubby is, quite literally, a little stall: a cozy den scaled down for mittens and secrets.
