#my darkest star [eclipsa butterfly]

[globgor-of-mewnie]

I can definitely see why eclipsa chose to be with you instead of that pompous spider infested walking talking powdered wig shastican . Forgive my vulgarity but you my friend . 😏 are an absolute snack 😏😏

“‘A snack’? Augh, that’s such a good pick-up line! Why didn’t I think of that one before I became a vegetarian? And thank you for the compliment. Can you believe I was actually jealous of Shastacan before I saw what a joke of a living being he was?”

SVTFOE Timeline headcanon

Based on this

I can state that according to the Mewni calendar, the events of the series take place in 1753 (although S1 and S2 may have taken place in 1752, but that's not important). Just as on Earth, so on Mewni there is a marker of eras, namely the Mewnipendance Day, which is the first year.

Assuming Mewnipendance Day is year 1, over 1750 years have passed with 38 queens reigning… My headcanon, so I can interpret it as I want. To make the dates fit nicely, I chose 12th Mewni Queen for a long-lived mewman (I'll describe her later, as she's important in my AU) and extended Celena's life (since Celena is/was half-demon).

Interesting fact: Time on Mewni/Serparsis (generally the planet where these continents are located) flows about twice as fast as on Earth. That is, when the Butterflies began their rule, it was the Middle Ages on Earth.

Au History timeline (will include oc queens):

around -150 (Yes, Mewmans use '-' instead of BC [Before Christ]) -> the beginning of human migration to Mewni (carried out by Glossaryck).

1 -> Mewnipendance Day (Great Monster Massacre)

2-14 -> Moe (the Zero) the Protoplast's reign

14-70 -> first queen's reign (it's that baby with the circles on her cheek)

70-72 -> Soupina the Strange's reign (she reigned for a short time because she went mad due to the mewberty form. [I will add that the first queen did not achieve this form]. Then it was decided, in order to better prepare for the use of magic, the wand would be passed on on the 14th birthday to the next descendant to the throne)

72-114 -> third queen's reign ; 114-137 -> 4th queen's reign ; 137-172 -> 5th queen's reign ; 172-194 -> 6th queen's reign ; 194-215 -> 7th queen's reign ; 215-231 -> 8th queen's reign ; 231-253 -> 9th queen's reign ; 253-273 -> 10th queen's reign ; 273-294 -> 11th queen's reign

294-1119 -> 12th queen's reign, Asynthia the Darkest One (I wil write post about her somewhen)

1119-1141 -> 13th queen's reign. Her title was the Reviver (I will mention that during her reign, inheritance to the throne was introduced at the age of 25)

1141-1168 -> 14th queen's reign ; 1168-1181-> Tituba the Seeker (15th)(character is based on Tituba, the alleged witch who was involved in the Salem trials)

1181-1219 -> 16th queen's reign ; 1219-1240-> 17th queen's reign ; 1240-1258-> 18th queen's reign ; 1258-1281-> 19th queen's reign ; 1281-1299-> 20th queen's reign ; 1299-1323-> 21st queen's reign

1323-1356-> Solena the Snitten (22nd) (during her time there was a conflict with the Lucitors, which Solaria mentioned in her chapter)

1356-1380-> 23rd queen's reign ; 1380-1406-> 24th queen's reign ; 1406-1431-> 25th queen's reign ; 1431-1443-> Lyric (26th) the Untrust's reign ; 1443-1481-> (27th) Skywynne's reign ; 1481-1499-> (28th) Solaria's reign ; 1499-1510-> (29th) Eclipsa's first reign ; 1510-1514-> interregnum, MHC ruled over kingdom ; 1514-1558-> (30th) Festivia's reign ; 1558-1589-> (31st) Cresenta's reign ; 1589-1615-> (32nd) Rhina's reign ; 1615-1691-> (33rd) Celena's reign ; 1691-1721-> (34th) Esterlla's reign ; 1721-1727-> (35th) Comet's reign ; 1727-1753-> (36th) Moon's reign ; 1753-> (37th) Star's four day reign ; 1753-> (38th) Eclipsa's second reign

And on the end I will mention Stump Day. This is something of a legend. When the first people arrived on Mewni (around -150), the Butterfly family celebrates it as their holiday (probably one of the queens instituted it).

“You”

I will die with this ship

[globgor-of-mewnie]

Have to reblog this again because I just now realized what it was referencing

[breath-of-void]

What exactly is the Darkest Spell?

So, I realized something about the Butterfly family wand: it cannot be used to kill.

Look at Toffee

We know that he knows a lot about the wand (more than the queens at least) so why doesn’t he seem afraid in this scene? Is it that he was immortal so he was just cocky? For Rasticore that’s a good reason, but not Toffee. He knows that the most the wand can do is hit him with heavy percussive force and though he has never seen that spell before, he isn’t afraid. He knows the wand can’t kill him even if he was mortal.

The line in the spell “I summon forth the deathly power/ to see my hated foe devoured” kind of- ahem- spells it out. The Darkest Spell does not kill the victim, but devours them. Consumes them into the wand.

“But, if the wand can’t kill, how is this any good?”

Three words: The Whispering Spell

We know that the Whispering Spell causes the wand to self-destruct and also to trap anyone in the surrounding vicinity in the wand. The way I see it, the wand was designed to not be able to kill BUT if the Whispering Spell was used, it had to be because of some dire threat. Therefore, using the Spell is SUPPOSED to be a Hail Mary and destroy everything and everyone around but due to the wand’s anti-kill policy, it seals them within itself instead.

Eclipsa is a genius.

She found a way around the wand’s anti-kill policy by using its own safeguards. There are clear similarities between the Darkest Spell and the Whispering Spell, but very specific differences as well.

Both times the wands turn black and cause the weather to react negatively. The difference is, however, the Whispering spell causes widespread destruction (enough to level a castle) but the Darkest Spell is a single laser point.

In short form, what I took all of that up there to say is this, the Darkest Spell is a modified version of the Whispering Spell. Eclipsa seems to have found a way to “convince” the wand that it is being destroyed and so activates its natural response of trapping and containing everything around it. If she could then focus that energy into a single, smaller point (say, the size of a heart) she could force the wand to seal away a vital part of her victim, killing them.

It’s like burning ants with a magnifying glass. The purpose of the glass is to make light rays converge, you’re just using it destructively. Technically the wand isn’t doing anything it’s not supposed to.

As for the dark marks on Moon and Eclipsa, it seems that the magic is sentient enough to know what it is being used for even if it can’t stop it. Those seem to be a mark that appears when a queen truly contemplates using the wand for murder.

The darkest spell of eclipsa

dark spell

This spell is made of the darkness itself. Someone with a heart killed it and filled it to the brink.

I call the darkness unto me, the deepest depths of Earth and sea run rampant. Evil on awaken the one that can't be broken to blackest night. I pledge my soul and cross my heart to burning coal. Descendants of deadly power to see my case for devour.

Please do not read the darkness spell before it's happened to you. This spell is very dangerous.

Let me know if you'd like me to elaborate on anything or if you have any other questions!

**Here's a breakdown of the spell:**

**Ingredients:**

* **The Darkness:** This is the core ingredient, representing the power of the underworld and the unknown.

* **The Depths of Earth and Sea:** These signify the power of nature and the elemental forces.

* **The Heart:** This represents the sacrifice necessary to cast the spell.

* **The Burning Coal:** This symbolizes the intensity and irreversibility of the spell.

**Pledge:**

The caster must pledge their soul and cross their heart to burning coal, demonstrating their unwavering commitment to the spell.

**Descendants:**

The caster calls upon the power of their descendants, likely to amplify the spell's effect and ensure its legacy.

**Devour:**

The ultimate goal of the spell is to "devour," which suggests a destructive or consuming purpose.

**Important Note:**

The image explicitly warns against reading the spell before it is necessary. This implies that the spell is extremely dangerous and should only be used in dire circumstances.

**Context in the Show:**

In "Star vs. the Forces of Evil," the Dark Spell is a powerful and forbidden spell created by Eclipsa, the Queen of the Dark Dimension. It is said to be so destructive that it could potentially destroy the entire universe.

**Additional Information:**

* The spell is associated with butterflies, which are a recurring motif in the show and often represent transformation and change.

* The spell's exact effects are not fully revealed in the show, leaving it shrouded in mystery and fear.

Let me know if you'd like to explore any specific aspect of the Dark Spell or the show in more detail!

That anaversary aizen looks absolutely fabulous, he looks like a figure skater xd.

I heard along time ago the last arc of the anime was being animated finally bc they pulled a 90s sailor moon were the last season was not either animated or dubbed untill decades later.

I recall near the end of the current 366 episodes there was an episode were the creapy demon ppl woke up in hell and we're all bitter, and there was the other guy who was like, iM cOmEiNg FoR u IChIgO, but then is never mentioned again after and I'm like,why? Why is lt there just plopted randomly into a different arc that seams unrelated.

And locking aizen up underground seems ok, but It deff won't hold, and he will. Escape, and he will kill, you either need that one spell from star, dubbed, the darkest spell of moon the undaunted, a powerfull dark spell that killed immortal beings, that came from best character, eclipsa, the queen of darkness.

We need that.

Or stick him I'm crystal like eclipsa was in star. Is there no one who could trap him in ice or crystal for all eternity.

How about throw him into the centre of a volcano trapped and caged , forverr being killed by heat?

I assume there's space travel, send I'm into a black whole, were a black whole don't fuckin care if your immortal or fat, you will die

:3

Yes, I love anniversary Aizen. His original octopus-butterfly hollow design was ugly so I'm glad he's back to being the fashion icon he is.

Locking Aizen up underground once is one thing, doing it twice after saying he got more powerful by just sitting there, and he escaped to battle the Quincy Soul King God... is another. I think he should have escaped at the end of the Quincy arc. That is the only feasibility.

I heard the anime is coming back for the Quincy arc as well, but because of COVID its probably going to be delayed. (I'm not gonna watch it until the Rain section of the arc then I'm dipping out. I'm only here for Zangetsu)

and funny that you mention that hell scene in the manga :)

-> spoilers for the new BLEACH 73 page anniversary chapter / thoughts/critique on it

So hey you had a premonition! Syazel .... returned? And his hole is outside of his body??? for some reason???

(I didn't understand the explanation or why / how that happens and what that means for the hollow)

And my friend and I were laughing because out of ALL the things. Kubo could do in this anniversary. He gave Syazel his dick back after going to hell. That is iconic. (that's where his hole was located, and now that its not on his body ... well...) This is the funniest thing Kubo has EVER pulled. Kudos to you, sir.

The entire internet is freaking out over Ukitake being in hell. Honestly Kubo has done far worse, and we've established that Soul Society is a corrupt system that hasn't changed, so I'm not surprised he would pull something like this.

At the same time, Kubo 1. cheated his audience. 2. continues to prove me right that he cannot bring himself to kill his characters

1. Hollows who have commit murder in their human life are sent to hell. Syazel and Aaorniero are two of these hollows, and yet, when they are killed, there is NO gates of hell scene. We see them there later in the hell chapter (which was more of a promotion for the fourth movie and I didn't believe it would hold any merit)

But the same goes for Ukitake. We never see the gates of hell take him. What, was hell late? Did hell's gates get lost like an uber before picking him up? It's bull. Withholding such vital information from your audience, not showing the gates of hell when they should pick up this soul IMMEDIATELY is ... I mean its a lie. Kubo lied to his audience.

2. Now we are told powerful shinigami are sent to hell when they die. First of all that sounds like a security threat. Wouldn't shinigami want revenge for that? Or attempt to escape? Why would they still hold loyalty after being sent to a prison of eternal suffering?

Also "Yhwach and Aizen" were the only ones keeping Hell's gates closed is way too convenient and doesn't really make any sense. I feel like Aizen should have deliberately gone to hell to retrieve powerful shinigami / hollows for his army instead of keeping it /closed/.

This is definitely a Kubo-doesn't-know-what-he's-doing-and-is -making- stuff-up-as-he-goes, but it might have a pinch of merit because of previous plot lines.... but either way, there's some big plot holes here, but again, its Kubo, so I expected nothing less.

Again, he can't kill off his characters. He introduced zombification, he introduced immortality through the hougyoku, he has Orihime and Hachigen's reversal / rejection abilities. He brought back Luppi, friggen.... a character who's entire upper half of his body was incinerated. Like.... come on. No. He's dead, you can't bring him back like that. That's a cop out and just weird. You're taking away consequences and grief.

(Also Yamamoto and Unohana deserve to be in hell far over Ukitake, they've done some fcked up stuff in their pasts unlike him)

Also Kubo's favorite character is Mayuri, which.... you're allowed to have a favorite problematic character. But Keeping said character alive and bared from the consequences of abusing his daughter, murdering innocents, and experimenting on your own squad members? Nah. Nope. Kill him, Kubo. Kill this dude.

(his weird attachment to Mayuri is probably why he keeps bringing Syazel back, since Syazel is Mayuri 2.0, but Syazel is the bad guy who does face consequences for his actions while Mayuri is not)

~

Also, I'm certain Kazui and Orihime are going to be THRILLED that their precious husband/dad is going to hell when he dies :)

(I just... Rukia teased Ichigo about leaving Orihime at home. She teased him about having a house wife who he leaves all the chores to. Orihime had two panels. She checks on her son who promised he would be at home and sleep. Kazui fcking breaks his promise like it never mattered to him and JUMPS out the window after pretending to sleep in front of his mother. ... An 8 year old... alone... in the middle of the night.)

Orihime is abandoned. She is not invited to SS, she is not informed of what is going on, her son leaves her.... I...

Orihime is a side character. She doesn't matter anymore. She hasn't mattered for a long, long time.

A part of me is glad she had little screen time, since she tends to waste it, but another part of me is embroiled with rage.

I've even see people try to defend this. "Orihime and Ichigo can't be together ALL the time, that's an unhealthy relationship!" and I'm like guys... that's not the point. The point is Orihime is not part of Ichigo's other life. Any shinigami stuff from now on is none of her business. She's going to stay at home while Kazui and Ichigo go off and save the world. Ichigo is going to be fighting by Rukia and Renji while Orihime watches from the sidelines, or worse, doesn't even know what is going on with her husband and son. Orihime is going to be uninformed and abandoned, because she has not proven she is capable of fighting by their sides(go on, @ me. I will fight this. She's a failure.), and also because she prefers a human life over a dead one. Which is ironic, because she married a dead man. Ichigo is a shinigami, and he will be one forever. god forbid she ever meets his Zanpaktou. She would tremble in fear at the monsters her husband harbors in his soul, especially when she realizes they don't care about her and would rather see her dead. (Zangetsu would absolutely kill Orihime. Not sure about Kazui, but Orihime has not accepted Zangetsu, she does not like either of them, and the feeling is assuredly mutual.) frick now I want to make a comic about this

Also still frustrated over Zangetsu's shikai / bankai regression. Kubo once again lied to his audience. Ichigo has no bankai. How ridiculous is that? The main character of BLEACH doesn't have a bankai. Insulting.

(RIP to Chad. He doesn't exist anymore. He's just gone. No mention, no cameo. Gone.)

Kazui is a demon child. That character from the novels? Hikone? They're the same character. Literally same personality, same power level. Its worse because Kazui is a liar. He constantly goes behind his parents' backs. He can summon creepy fish and creepy eyeballs and open portals like is ANYONE aware of this? How has SS not kidnapped Ichigo's son and experimented on him / locked away his powers yet? All substitute shinigami require a reiatsu controlling / spy badge to keep them in line. Where is Kazui's? Or is he just a weird fullbringer?

I was worried Kubo was gonna try and pull a knock off Boruto but luckily he kept the focus on Ichigo and the others. But that being said, Ichika and Kazui are now just... sort of there? Kazui was kinda just.... having his own adventure that doesn't matter to the plot at hand, and Ichika had some nice characterization at first but she just hid behind her dad the whole time.

I have a feeling Kazui is gonna step in at the last minute or do some major behind the scenes thing that indirectly interferes with the main plot so no one will realize how powerful and dangerous he actually is. Its sad because Ichika is the superior character in personality and likability, but she clearly is not going to have a bigger part in this.

Ichigo having a normal life after everything still feels extremely boring and uncomfortable to me. Everyone's like 'I'm still bLEACH!" but.... BLEACH just... doesn't feel like BLEACH anymore. It hasn't for a while now.

~~~

There's two new shinigami characters. Didn't care for the girl, but the Sign Language kid who talks to animals is adorable ... however... he just reminds me of Chad, and I just... it hurts knowing Chad has essentially been deleted. Chad and Orihime are officially benched. They have chosen the human world, and Orihime has given Ichigo his spawn so she has no more use/purpose to him anymore... ////sigh

~~~

Also. This is claimed to be a new "arc". So is the BLEACH manga coming back? What is happening. I thought Kubo was tired and didn't want to do BLEACH anymore. I thought Shounen Jump cut him off. People made so many excuses for Kubo and why the past two arcs have been so badly written the past 6 years and now almost everything they've attempted to defend him with has been revoked.

BLEACH is going to continue to screw up its plot lines and characters, so Its probably best for it to stay dead but I've seen a lot of Kubo stans drooling over this content, they're desperate for BLEACH's return, but its already given out all its possible revelations. There's really nothing else to top here. It's just going to make things up as it goes along ,and I'm not really here for half-assed writing like that, especially since the damage of rushing the previous manga has already been done. Kubo and Shounen Jump are riding off a money nostalgia. None of this was planned.

Honestly though.... overall feeling of this chapter, not as bad as it could have been.

Syazel stole the spotlight, and he's my friend's favorite character, so that's all that really matters.

The End of a Tragic Love Story

So many Mewmans had smiled at him that evening.

It was like a surreal dream. Yes, they had all looked at him with fear and confusion when he had first stepped through the portal, but after a few surprising vouches, the people of Mewni had actually decided to give him a chance. He had been so sure that they would demand his reimprisonment, all he could do was give a thoughtful 'huh' when he was proven wrong.

After his wife's coronation finished, they were greeted with pleasant smiles and welcomes by both Mewman and monster alike. Both of whom had no problems sharing the same space as each other.

It was like he had woken up to a surreal fantasyland...One that he had stopped believing in long ago.

Once everyone had finally departed from the Butterfly Temple, and once Globgor had been assured that Meteora could wander around the place just fine on her own, he and Eclipsa had retreated to their bedroom, so as they could have a moment alone.

Globgor had to take a few deep breaths first, his mind reeling from everything that had just transpired. The last solid memory he'd had before his imprisonment was eating Shastacan after the dirtbag had tricked him into thinking his daughter was dead, now.....now everything was peaceful. Everything was okay. They were free. They were free!

With a noise that was a mix between a sob and a laugh, Globgor rushed over and grabbed his wife by the waist. His beautiful, brave, amazing wife! He lifted her in the air and twirled her around joyfully.

"Eclipsa! My love, you're here! I'm here! They-they've accepted us! How can this be possible? How?"

Star Vs: Total Eclipsa the Moon and Butterfly Trap (Tomtrsopective Interlude)

Hello you beautiful people, and welcome back to the tomtrospective... minus Tom, since as i’ve mentioned a LOT in recent parts of this tribute to eveyrone’s faviorite demon voiced by shawn from boy meets world, realized I hadn’t mentioned that in a while, I”m also covering the metora arc from the second half of season 3, as Tom plays a pretty sizeable roll in it’s climax , the season 3 two part finale Divide and Conquer, and if i’m going to cover what’s essentially an hour long episode i’m going to do it right. It’s why i’m also doing the della arc alongside the Lena arc next month, the latter of which is fully paid for: because Shadow War pays that off too. Even if it makes way more work for me, if i’m going to review something, i’m gonna do it right. So we come to this pair of episodes.  First question a lot of you might be having... 

To which I say.. I ? We’ll see. The second is that “Why aren’t you covering the bog beast of boggabah?”. Well.. honestly it’s for time constraints. I have a LOT of episodes to cover, my own fault I know but again if you do a job you do it right, and cutting the one that while part of the plot isn’t nearly as essential to anything and ultimately only sticks for one episode character development wise. It’s not bad, almost nothing with Alan Tudyk in it is bad. That’s a fact, that’s a Disney fact. 

Point is while I like covering EVERYTHING I can, I do have to draw a line and since this retrospective is about TOM, i’d rather not pile on more episodes that don’t involve him than absolutley necessary. Bog Beast just dosen’t feel NEARLY as much of a necessary detour as these two coming up or Skooled and Tough Love down the line.  So with all that out of the way, join me under the cut for a discussion of Eclipsa’s character up to these episodes and the episodes themselves. 

Our detour DOES take us right into my OTHER faviorite character in the series, tied with tom and the other character that makes watching the series post battle of mewni, worthwhile: Eclipsa. We’ve mentioned her before obviously but this is the first episode she actually shows up in that i’m covered, and i’m delighted to finally tackle her head on. And the other faviorite thing isn’t an exageration: She’s equal to tom in my heart. She’s just as compelling, just as well acted, and unlike Tom actually gets a decent resolution to her character arc. In fact she’s one of the ONLY characters to get a decent resolution.  It’s also at this point her character undergoes a shift. While she dosen’t change as a person that much, before this it was left purposfully vauge if Eclipsa was really.. evil, and possibly the big bad of the season. On the one hand her magic is unquestionably dark and evil even if she isn’t, and while Star wasn’t at all effected by her chapter, Marco went all 

For a second before Glossaryck fixed it off screen, and using her “Darkest Spell” left both her and moon with blackened goop on their arms for the rest of their lives. Not only that but she pushed Star into morally dubious actions: Teling her Marco could be her squire simply because she said so, and being the one that encouraged her to explore her butterfly form. 

But we also saw her GENUINELY bond with Star, the two relating both on seeing monsters as people, and dating them, and on being reckless, powerful and often looked down upon by Moon for unfair reasons. Something I hadn’t realized but shoudl’ve before this is, for Season 3 at least.. Eclipsa is the mentor star never properly had. Glossaryck, while he did do a decent job from time to time, is just too damn neutral to be a proper mentor, not really carring what happens to mewni or if he even lives or dies, a neglectful attitude that honestly caused a good chunk of Mewni’s problems, never remotely trying to invervene in his protege Solaria’s genocidal campaign against monsters, his children’s growing fantatical racisim, or well.. anything. He just dosen’t care.  Moon TRIED to be one, and can be a good mother on occasion.. but the two are exact opposites: Moon is controlled in every aspect of her life and compartmentalizes and structures everything, while Star is pure chaos and impulse. It’s why River has an easier time parenting her, as she got a LOT more of his personality than her mothers, and thus can actually relate to her. Bog Beast shows this off well: He teaches her a lesson Moon probably has tried to a thousand times, to be patient.. but does so on her level with an old family ritual and using a metaphor, rather than trying to drill it into her head. It’s why when he did actually teach her Glossayrck used the same: Star is just not a traditional learner, moon is. And there in lies the problem.. Moon just cannot accept for most of the series that her daughter isn’t like her despite her best efforts or try to see it on her level, and Star dosen’t really try to see it from Moon’s perspective either, though being you know the Child and not the parent, it’s a bit more understandable. Moon has a real hard time seeing other people’s perspectives, and really changing.. and given Star has gone from being a proud racist to realising how horrible her attiude to monsters were in under a year, really is why the two clash so much. It’s something I sadly relate to: While my own dad is not racist, he is a staunch republican, is one of those morons who belives the “Well if trans people can use the bathroom they want then rapists will put on women’s clothing just to enter a bathroom!” bullshit fully, and while he supports gay people myself included did NOT support gay marraige and when I was a teen would often say “Wellt hat’s as valid as me marrying bob” Bob.. is my dad’s cat who hates me for understandable reasons as I was not great with cats when he got him. So yeah I get your parent being an impenetrable brick wall on important issues. 

The point is Eclipsa...actually listens to star, agrees to her views and instead of trying to FORCE star to go the way she wants simply guides her, giving her advice and being gentle with her. The two are similar enough that Eclipsa’s advice, good or bad, tends to stick, and that Eclipsa actually cares what Star thinks which Moon does not. But it was hard to gage if she GENUINELY cared or was just playing star. But these episodes shred that ambiguity to pieces, showing that while eclipsa is not without faults.. she’s not evil... and the people who called her that very much ARE. So without further adeu....

Total Eclipsa The Moon:

In the previous episode, Star burst into Moon’s room giving her the revelations of the night. Moon.. did not take it well, both unaware and furious her daughter had a party at the monster temple, refusing to believe her and taking umbrage at Star’s VERY understandable accusation that she sent Rhombulus after them, since he had her royal guards with him, levitating her daughter out of the office. 

But what is suprising is that, as this episode opens after brooding a bit and TRYING to get back to work.. Moon clealry can’t get the idea out of her head. You can see the wheels turning: Sure star is impulsive and did falsely accuse her.. but she’s not a liar. While Star hides stuff on occasion.. when she lost the book she came right to her parents to confess, something Moon genuinely appricated. Why would she TRANSPARENTLY make something up? While the trial is close, Star would at least, if sloppily and ucnovncingly try and fake evidence if that was her goal. And while the party isn’t something Moon is happy about it is VERY suspcious Rhombulus didn’t tell her about police action on her terriotry using her own guards involving her daughter, several monsters, and the heirs to every kingdom in the land.  So she takes the Royal Lineage book and goes to see Eclipsa.. who made a guitar out of bones because she’s awesome and that’s what you do when you have a lot of itme on your hands and nothing else to do. 

She’s casual with Moon, who just assumes she’ll get the answer she wants l,  asks her to identify her daughter.. though Eclipsa is taken aback by this. She’s willing to.. she just hasn’t seen her face in thosands of years let alone as a grown woman and assumes she’s dead by now. It’s a very good, very small moment.. and it’s made more striking both by what we learned last episode.. and the fact she has no idea who Festivia is, and knows who her one and only Daughter was: Meteora. And while Moon does bring up that her name just could’ve been changed... Eclipsa shoots that down.. Meteora had clover cheeks and “The cutest little tail”. Moon asks how this even makes sense and Eclipsa’s response is absolutely wonderful “When a queen and a monster love each other very much...”. Before we can get to the sexy details Moon then clarifies that she’s confused how she didn’t know about this and wants answers, though she still keeps Metora still being alive a secret for now.. but it’s understndable as Moon still dosen’t trust Eclipsa, and dosen’t want to risk her trying to escape to find her right before the trial. Eclipsa tells her there is one place they could get a solid answer, the archives, which are in the commission building, though Moon apparently doesn’t have access..despite being queen. You think she would’ve questioned that by now given the name.

But Moon plans to go, and refuses to take Eclipsa along.. but is swayed when Eclipsa genuinely not only accepts it.. but sadly and without any hint of manipultion and with pure honesty asks her to tell her what happened to her daughter. And for the first time... Moon sees Eclipsa as not the boogeyman history wrote her as.. but just another mother desperatley looking for her child and finding out history covered her up and she may never know what happened to her.  So we next cut to the magical high comission building, where we see Shawn, the security guard, deer man and bumbling doofus, who ends up not scanning moon when the magic detector, basicallyu a metal detctor, goes read because she terrifies him out of it. And yeah.. good point she is on the comission he really shoudn’t have to do that. Though I like the sublte hints with this and the archives that the comission have slowly creeped up in thier authority: while the queen is still granted a seat at the table.. she’s not given ALL the toys in the box despite that not really being fair given how much sway the comission has in mewni politics.  But naturally Moon has snuck eclipsa in and even more naturally is nearly having a panic attack over breaking the rules. But she dosen’t have time for that and asks Eclipsa where the archives are. 

She’s not tricking moon or anything though: It’s been thousands of years and the comission building has changed vastly, when she was around the archives were just a stone hut off to the side. That gives Moon an idea and they find a stone wall in the storage room, which Eclipsa activates in her own weird and endearing way.  This also shows off the one trait that seperates Eclipsa from star: Star usually just does random things because. While Eclipsa isn’t IMUNE to this usually when she does something weird it’s specifically to acomplish something, she’s just using her own unique methods. LIke here she rubs her back against the stones and what not.. ut it gets the door open. Unfortuntely our heroines then run into Shawn who being a natural narc, runs off ot tattle before Moon cuts him off. Eclipsa insists they zap his memory and only hasn’t for a crucial reason: she can’t do magic without a wand. It’s an intresting and understandable reveal: like star she just relied on the wand for it and never learned how to do her spells without it as she never really needed to.. and even now she dosen’t. While her magic COULD help her escape.. she has no intrest in escaping since it’d only hurt star and even a sham trial will still make her a martyr for mosnter kind and prove Star’s point she’s not a bad person. Even if she looses she wins. So she simply had no reason to relearn it and likely figured correctly doing so might just rouse further suspicon or get her locked in chains or other nonsense and given she can, if unbenownst to moon, wander the castle freely via the secret passages.. she’s really not bothered by house arrest.  Moon of course dosen’t want to.. but in a great gag ends up doing so by mockingly saying “Memory eraser gun” and making a gun gesture with her hand.. and ends up actually doing that as a result. They put the comotose magic outside. And this scene is a great character bit to me for both characters: It shows off a bit flaw for each character: For moon it’s that she lacks the ablity to improvise. She can and has created magic but is so orderly and regimented it has to be percise and she dosen’t grasp just HOW easily a spell can be created simply by imagining it. She lacks the pure raw creativity and talent of her daughter and supposed ancestor.... but makes up for it in what she calls eclipsa out on: restraint. While Moon has ENTIRELY too much, serioulsy the stick is so far up her ass she can see it when she talks, it’s not itself a bad thing, and using it recklessly and irresponsibly, as the suplmental big boook of spells shows, without thought or without proper preperation can have devistating consequences. Skywinn, one of the past queens and the first in the book, destroyed an entire dimension simply by letting loose far too much, while Rhina, Moon’s great great grandmother, acccidently kileld her abusive husband because her heartbreak spell was a bit too literal. Power is fine and all. but you have to control it. It’s why Xavier’s School Existed before he decided to take all the kids to an island because humanity suck so much: you need to learn to use your pwoer responsibly and eclipsa never did. She can contorl it perfectly as we’ll see.. but she also dosen’t think of the implications of what she does with it, she just does and to hell with the consequences. And that’s really her whole problem: She acts mostly on impulse without thinking, and it’s had bad consequences.. though ironically her fleeing with Globgor, as said book wonderfuly outlined.. was NOT a rash or impulse decision but a VERY hard one where she was stuck between keeping the crown and pleasing eveyrone.. or fleeing with her lover, being happy and taking care of a serious threat to the kingdom as a whole WITH him, but knowing it might not end well.. and sadly it did not.  Eclipsa does show her skill though once agian, having made up a silly song to rmemeber where to go and since the archives haven’t been touched and are about the same, easily leads them in. Though once they reach the door they can’t open it, but Eclipsa has a solution: A rat hole. “It’s so gross in here” she says delighted. Moon isn’t happy about it but agrees to it.. but her ass gets stuck.. and that’s not me being crude or making a joke her ass literally gets stuck and Eclipsa has to go for help but takes an hour, long enough for a spider to hypnotize moon and steal her crown and for moon to question trusting her.. before Eclipsa returns.  And this is what cements what I was getting at: Before there was clear ambiguity in “Is eclipsa the villian or not”. Here.. it’s gone. She has shady powers and her morals are flexable.. but she’s still a kind, loveably weird woman and it’s obvious by this point her reputation as evil was horribly exagerated, and primarily brought on by racisim. And moon’s realizing it too. They find the archives, which is a cool concept: magitek hands that record everything that happens to a royal, even showing some of what’s going on right then in the other plot. Moon quips that this actually really would’ve helped with the trial, but apologizes for it showing that she’s slowly realized what Star knew from minute one and what I just mentioned: Eclipsa is not a bad person. She’s flawed, but she’s not evil or some nightmarish destroyer of worlds.. she’s just a batty 40-50 something woman who dosne’t think through her actions. 

Eclipsa does explain it probably wouldn’t of done moon good, as it’s near impossible to find anything unless you know where to look.. which makes perfect sense. The scroll records every queen’s every actoin every minute of every day. Even summarized that’s like trying to sift through footage of eveyr minute of your life. Even sped up, it’d take weeks or months or even years to find something without knowing where exactly to look. Thankfully Eclipsa does.. but finds the Scroll has been offered as the “Daughter of queen eclipsa nd king shatacan” is sewn in there as festivia.. literally.. like part of the scroll was ripped out. And as close friend, endless resource and tom expert bar none @jess-the-vampire​ pointed out to me when I asked for her imput on these ones, that makes no sense as the two never had a daugther and I feel they just didn’t think that through. Plot hole aside.. it’s VERY clear someone has tampred with the archives and if Moon wasn’t already questinoing if Eclipsa was really bad this clinches it: Someone ERASED one of her family from history and hid the truth even from them. And Moon’s going ot get answers.. after our heroes run from the security system, get the crown back and BARELY escape with the scroll before the comission catches them. 

Back at the castle Eclipsa is disgraught over her daughter and Moon clinches their new bond by revealing she might still be alive... Moon might not KNOW if Star was telling or even knew the whole truth.. but she knwos something is going on and she’s going to find out. And whiel she may not know everything.. she has a damn good idea who did this.. .and says so just as star comes in from her adventure, having learned patience. Cue the credits.  Final Thoughts: This was a fun one, with Moon and Eclipsa having a delightful odd couple dynamic, the regminted overly serious and overly stuffy moon with the wild and reckless and charmingly weird eclipsa is just a great dynamic and endlessly entertaining and I wish the show had done more with it before what’s about to happen but what we got was great and minor plot hole mentioned aside, the reveal only deepens the intrigue for what’s next.. so speaking of which...

Butterfly Trap: Here. We. Go. One of the series best episodes, if not it’s BEST. Oh me mow i’m excited. 

We open with the long set up trial of Eclipsa Butterfly.. and as you’d expect by a trial by a jury of her enimies, the comission mostly sees this as a formality outside of Moon. Sean is excited though, he gets to bring out the typey thingy. Usually Rhombluus just crystalises them. 

Yeahhh... the show never properly deals with Rhombulus’ tendency to imprison first ask questions never or gets any of his victims, i.e. the ones he probably had less reason to crystal up not ones who were eating universes or whatever , free. But this is the LEAST of the dropped threads from this one. Point is this isn’t a remotely fair trial.. as hammermed in by the fact Hekapoo is upset and confused that Star is here too. Moon wants her to see eclipsa got a fair trial. Also Rhomblus wants her DEAD, but the others shot him down on this. HIs reasoning , for him, is suprisingly good: crystalising her didn’t work last time and implicilty given star likes her star could just order her freed when she’s queen. But I get their reasoning: Killing her would only make her a martyr to monsterkind, and to Star who probably woudln’t listen to or respect them EVER again. And Moon still wanted that when she started the trial.  So while clearly a sham this does crystalize, pun unitended, how corrupt the comissoin is. Their holding a trial with no jury, no witnesses, not that most are alive but some are, and with everyone CLEARLY thinking she’s guilty before it starts... and no one questioned it. This is even unusual as they rarely have an actual trial. And it’s about to be revealed to be a WHOLE lot worse. 

So the trial begins and Moon brings out the evidence, which is oddly disorganized given how much work she was putting in before, and ismostly secondhand accounts and interviews and their going to have to just sit there and sort through it all, which NONE OF THEM, especially rhomblus are happy about “THIS SOUNDS LIKE MATH!”

But Eclipsa has a simplier, if much more risky suggestion: Trial by Box. While Moon points out this isn’t great for her as the box is merciless and will not take lies, but Eclipsa counters rightly that she has nothing to hide. ANd honestly again given the commission are clearly out for her blood.. this is the only way she gets anything resembling a fair trial. Resembling being the key word. This is the most clearly rigged trial i’ve seen since that time Batman’s villians kidnapped him and put him on trial with joker as the judge.. good episode though.. and THAT was even a more fair trial as they actually gave him a lawyer and let him go when she made a convincing enough case. 

So the box is brought out, and it turns out to be the truth or punishment cube from season 2. Which Moon insists isn’t a party game.. despite the fact a bunch of teenage girls easily got one and it has a setting for that when moon grabs it. Along with, in a really great bit, settings for Bachelorette (All right ladies!) and Intervention. Know someone who could use that honestly. 

So the Comission ask their questions. We start with Rhombluus who asks if she wrote the “Evil Chapter” in the book of spells. Eclipsa dosen’t deny it but ponits out THEY labeled it that, Star rightly points out none of htem have actually read it moon included, and Eclipsa.. shoves her foot in her mouth by pointing out she’s made FAR WORSE spells that didnt make the cut. “Writing is rewriting you know”.  Love this woman. 

So next up is Hekapoo who asks if she abandoned her husband to run off with Globgor. Well they dont’ use his name because end of season plot twist but still. Eclipsa not only firmly doesen’t deny it but fondly caressses the projection of him “Hello sweetie”. Hekapoo marks her down with evil for this which... Jeff if you would?

Thank you. Not only is this racist bs that star perfectly destroyed earlier in the season, as the comission themselves are monsters in all but category, but the spellbook makes this so much worse. As I said for once Eclipsa .. wasn’t being impulsive. She was torn between duty and love and choose love, and even then partially did so to prevent the septarians from wiping out both the rest of monster kind AND mewmans. And Shastacan, was a massive dick, who took her not being in love with him like he was with her as a sign to throw her monster child away as we’’ll see and rightfully got eaten for it. I know this is all obvious stuff but it’s hard not to yell about it.  Next it Rhombluus.. who asks if she ate those babies. Again that was Bubipsa as Hekapoo understandably yells at him for but no backsies, and she sgets another evil mark on H-Poo’s good or evil tally because she’s that bitch. Finally Moon asks if she’s sorry for what she’s done.. and given the most they genuinely have are that she wrote spells that while dark and evil, were not only not the worst she could do but were clearly not used on any innocents, had an interracial marraige, and did not eat babies.. yeah, she’s not. So the comissoin prepare to cast judgement on the woman whose only “crime” is interacial dating, in a sham trial. 

Thankfully.. Eclipsa turns the tables. Before they can hastily refreeze her... Eclipsa points out she has a question.. and Moon points out as a former queen of mewni she’s entitled to a comission seat and thus TECHNICALLY a member. A loose rule and one you’d think Moon wouldn’t enforce.. but she does, a large hint at something i’ll get to in a moment as the reveal’s just too good to spend already. Naturally she has but one question for them:

No, obviously it’s “What did you do with my daughter”. Even more obviously they deny it.. but as we saw last time the cube came out, even lying to YOURSELF isn’t something the cube accepts so outright lying to save your fucking hides is even worse and it begins to crush them all. And after spending most of the runtime putting up with their racist and clearly biaserd bollocks it’s SO fucking cathartic to see them desperatly scramble and fail to avoid the box, with Hekapoo screaming “We didn’t do anything!”. 

Eventually Star calls them out on it pointing out they enforce the rules for everyone ELSE, and Hekapoo in paticular called Star and Moon on keeping the book being stolen a secret and Marco on Star’s butterfly form fiasco, so yeah, their glass house is in shards.. and Rhombluus FINNALLY ends this charade and confesses. Hekapoo naturally is mad at him for this.. despite the fact that if he hadn’t they’d all be dead and none of this would matter. 

Also Eclipsa is just badass during the entire sequence. While Moon and Star are panicking and the comission are covering for themselves, though the former two are probably doing it more just to keep up appearances but we’ll get to that in just a moment. Eclipsa, SHe just has this expression the whole time, as I put at the top for good reason. 

Just a look of pure SCORN, of a mother’s rage at having her daughter hidden from her and wiped from history, of having her husband imprisoned for rightfully getting vengance for it, for having HERSELF imiprosned and made out to be some kind of ghoul for the crime of marrying who she loved and saving her damn kingdom. She’s politely put up with this shit for as long as she had to to get to this moment.. but now as her tormentors despretly try to avoid the consequences of their actions and the truth.. she can only look on with pure, justified hatred at EVEYRTHING they’ve done and just how cowardly it is they refuse to admit it. 

So with the pepretraotrs in the cover up explosed, Rhomblus explains he was tired of lying. This COULD have been a good turn for the character, showing he had some remorse and have him get a redepmption arc... any of them could’ve.. but instead thier just 2 dimensonal asssholes after this because “racists be like that’ which they do, but it dosen’t mena you couldn’t of used them as big bads for the final season instead of wasting them.  But yeah back on point Rhombluus prods omni to tell them via his projection thing and he does: After Eclipsa was imprisoned, Shastacan got rid of meteora, and we of course know where she went and soon we’ll find out just what happened to her there, but more ont hat another time, and the comission covered things up by taking a pesant girl, though unlike the graphic above we later found out she was left behind by her family and taken in by the comission, who are shown to also have raised her by the book of spells. They gave her the wand, putting magic in her veins.. how ..

Look me and Jess discussed this: magic being given by the wand is terribly inconsistent and while I might go into it in a seperate article some other day, now is not the time or place for it. 

It is however the time and place for the reveal as Moon’s reaction to all of this? “We suspected as much”

Yup, as our heroines explain and Shawn freaks the fuck out in one of the series best gags, and mirrors the audience’s reactions, we find out this was all a setup: and as I alluded too one cleverly set up the whole episode, pun unintended: Moon is suddenly dour and ready to to through with the trial despite last episodes revelations, she brings in evidence that’s entirely unsorted despite being a control freak who was previously working on gathering and sorting said evidence, and she backs up eclipsa despite it clearly givng her an advantage. All little hints that something wasn’t right there. Whlie Hekapoo, being again that bitch, is naturally furious, Moon is undaunted and explains why they did this.. and Star was in on it too, which shows that even if her patience lesson from bog beast dosen’t stick entirely, sigh, it does stick for this one episode as she not only waited through this sham trial.. but played her part well, arguging with moon at times to make it seem like nothing had changed. Everything was a careful and constructed plan to get the commission into a position where they COULDN’T lie. Even if Rhombulus hadn’t cracked one of them might of when theyw ere close and while it was a huge risk they all knew going in... it paid off. The truth is laid bare. If only Lekmet’s bi ass were here .. so he could aslo get raked over teh coals for htis. Also yes bi, he had the bi flag colors on the flowers on ihs portrait they left where his seat used to be. 

So with the cards all on the table, the Cube passes judgment; Eclipsa is guilty.. but so are her judges minus Moon, so he tells them to think about that, which they do, while he leaves so they can sort out their issues. Star reads the assholes the riot act.. until she stumbles on realizing something: Eclipsa, her supportive, loving, and wonderful grandma whose actually like her.. isn’t her grandma. Eclipsa responds with an “I’m sorry sweetie’ making two things clear by her tone: She’s just as devistated by this reveal as star, she just has more pressing things in her head right now, and that even if their not bound by blood.. sh’es still star’s grandma and always will be.  What hits harder is the realization sh’es not a princess and her life is a lie. Granted she is TECHNICALLY a princess , since her dad is still a king by blood and could take the johnason throne if he wanted, but tha’ts being pednatinc: the real point is that the legacy that put so  much pressure on her all her life is a lie, and she isn’t who she thought she was.  “We’re nothing mom, we’re nothing. “ 

So star runs off as both of her moms try and comfort her. And as we close out this episode god damn is Eden Sher good in this. Just her acting in this scene is so damn heartbreaking and powerful, going from indignant and calling out the cocmisison.. to heartbreaking, slowly and quitely falling apart as she realizes what happened. So what’s this anguish star’s going through amount to?

Oh sure the ending of season 3 wouldn’t happen without this reveal.. but Star being devistated by it goes NOWHERE. There’s no character arc of her dealing with the fact she’s no longer a princess or once she gives teh wand to eclipsa, even heir to the throne probably. No angst, no deep reflection not even an offhand joke. We find out who the commoners Festivia descended from were.. but that’s IT. Star just kinda ignores this like her confession to marco last season only that at least got a payoff. I will bitch about that payoff soon but it’s you know A PAYOFF. This is a WASTE of an utterly amazing plot twist, one that turns the show on it’s head and star’s entire rebelious princess character around. because they just didn’t care to actually let her change as a character after this season. She learns nothing from this point, dosen’t really grow, and ends in a really terrible and ghastly place. This episodes excellent and while it’s after effects would be felt.. it left SO much more on the table they never bothered to pick up and use. 

Final Thoughts: As I said full of wasted potetinal.. but one of the series best episodes still. Hampered a bit by said waste of potetial but on it’s own it’s gripping, has a well set up swereve, and some great acting and animation all around. 

So that does it for this review: Next Time: Star and Tom’s relationship progresses as Tom is forced to see what his privlage has insulated him from, while it then hits a massive road block as we get.. to Booth Buddies. And yes i’m doing Skooled second, Booth Buddies is TECHNICALLY seasonly approraite for valentine’s way.. just like herpes. Until then follow this blog for more reviews, my comissions are open shoot me an ask for details and until the next rainbow, it’s been a pleasure.

You know I got to ask about my lizard bois! How are Toffee and Rasticore in your rewrite? Also Lobsterclaws? Thought he died??

Meet the Characters

Part 2 & 3: Toffee and Rasticore

You know Toffee. You know Rasticore. You know they're both rogue Septarian soldiers, one of which goes on to become Mewni's greatest adversary while the other becomes an assassin.

But what you don't know is that these two grew up together. Rasticore is the son of Seth, whose family took Toffee in as a child, so Toffee and Rasticore were practically joined at the hip for ages. They're very on and off both platonically and romantically, but somehow always find their way back to each other sooner or later.

Toffee used to live at the Monster Temple with Eclipsa, Globgor, and their peace advocates, once believing in harmony between Mewmans and Monsters. But he also had sought to flee Mewni's tyranny rather than fight it, going so far as to leave Rasticore and Seth behind. But when the Magic High Commission raided their sanctuary, Toffee was lost in the Nexabyss hiding from them, trapped in a nightmarish magic dimension just underneath the Bureaucracy of Magic for 200 years.

He came across the ancient Nexabyss Library, where the oldest and deepest secrets of magic and the universe were kept safe. The Librarians took him into their safe haven from the magic world, and with nothing else to do until he found his way out, Toffee read. And read. And read. Until one day he found out the darkest secrets of the Butterfly family, namely the child swap.

He came out of the Library a changed man, and a Librarian-in-training at that. He joined back up with Rasticore and the Monster Army and was hellbent on making Queen Comet confess to the crimes of her family. She knew, and she refused. The rest is history. But what of the present? Where is Toffee now, and does he have any reason to fight with Star now that Eclipsa is queen again?

(Also, yeah. Randall Clawford, aka Lobster Claws, is very much alive.)

Introducing the Dapper Critter’s New Line of Critter Fics!

Howdy-do there, fellow readers and/or writers! Since the season of sharing is almost upon us, and I’ve been most busy with my upcoming projects, I figured there’s no time like the present to start sharing my latest works. Just remember that there’s set deadlines or release dates for any of these--this is more a line-up than a set release schedule. That said, I hope these new projects tickle your fancy and give something extra to look forward to!

Star vs. The Monstrosities of Magic - (SVTFOE rewrite fic) In this weirder, wilder, and much more ambitious rewrite co-written by me and the talented @full-moon-phoenix , we set out to retell the immensely disappointing final season of Star vs. The Forces of Evil to give the show the conclusion it deserves. Among the many changes we’re making, we’ve set out to: return Star and Marco to their likeable, competent selves while repairing their relationship into something healthy and satisfying. Giving Eclipsa, Globgor, and Meteora the time and sympathy they deserve. Exploring and better developing what drove Moon to take the extreme measures she did. Bringing back the best of the supporting and side characters—including a very special Septarian—to give them the development they also deserve while giving them expanded roles and ensuring they get better endings. But above all, we’re dipping down into the darkest secrets of the Butterfly family’s magic to better explain why it ultimately had to be destroyed, and to explore the history of the family itself, which we only got to read about in The Magic Book of Spells. Plus, if you want to know more and maybe even contribute, then come join our Discord server right here: https://discord.gg/NBxHB2xz  (And yes, I’m on Discord now. Apologies for not revealing this sooner. Feel free to contact either me or my cowriter if you want a fresh invite to the server.)

Tales from Beast Island or (On the Benefits of Community Service for Fantastic War Criminals) - (Entrapdak anthology fic) Set after the series finale of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, this anthology-esque romantic-horror-comedy follows Hordak and Entrapta as they reunite, ready to finally start a new life together. There’s just one problem: the Princess Alliance and most of Etheria have sentenced Hordak to community service on Beast Island. Luckily, Entrapta has ensured she can come with him to aid in his rehabilitation as well continue her studies of the most dangerous place on Etheria—and to have some quality time, of course! They just have to work together with the other ex-Horde members who are tagging along, confront their inner demons, and survive the many technorganic terrors of the island as they work to heal it and their souls while they’re at it. Good thing they’ve got the power of love and science on their side!

Gamera: Guardian of Hope - (Gamera series fic) An anime-esque science-fantasy adventure that reimagines the lore of the Friend of Children and Guardian of the Universe, devised with the help of my friendly story and monster consultants @iamthekaijuking, @good-guy-2006, and @master-of-gaburincho. Tells the story of a young girl living in a seemingly normal world with an uncertain future who finds and raises a young Gamera into a mighty guardian monster. Together with her adventurous parents, aloof big brother, and their friends, they travel across the world unlocking the many mysteries tied to Gamera’s strange origins and abilities, while protecting the people they meet from vicious creatures from an ancient civilization and the depths of space. But as the threats become greater and they face the harsh truths of the world, Gamera and the girl find their optimistic views and their challenges will be put to the test. But so long as there is hope for a better future and life to protect, Gamera and his friends will fight on.

Godzilla: The Monster Age - (Godzilla series fic) Once again featuring @iamthekaijuking​, @good-guy-2006​, and @master-of-gaburincho​. as my trusted story and monster consultants, this is will be my most ambitious fanfiction yet. A topical character-driven sci-fi thriller taking inspiration from nearly all of Godzilla mythos. The story is set in a pseudo-contemporary period in an alternate universe where, since 1954, kaiju have been appearing across the globe throughout history, their destructive presence having a drastic impact on everything from the global economy to religion. The story follows two scientists investigating various kaiju-related incidents for a clandestine organization working to main balance in this chaotic world—one an idealistic biologist fascinated by the monsters, and the other a cynical behaviourist with psychic abilities—who are called into action when the enigmatic King of the Monsters, Godzilla, returns after disappearing more than 20 years ago following a furious rampage prompted by unknown circumstances. The unlikely duo forms an even unlikelier connection with the legendary monster as they investigate and combat an range of kaiju, and increasingly sinister parties tied to a growing number of mysteries and conspiracies. But the biggest question of all remains: can we hope to live in a world with forces beyond our control?

My Super-Electronic Robot Hero Friend, Jet Jaguar! - (Godzilla spin-off crackfic) It’s exactly what it sounds like.

All fics will be posted on my AO3 and FF.net accounts.

Toffebraury Day 28: AU/Cosplay

From a Dimension where the Spiderbites are in charge of Mewni, treat the Monsters worse than the Butterflies did and the Darkest Spell was delivered by one, here comes: Lizard Noir!

Apperance

He had the same apperance as Canon! Toffee, but after being cursed by the mother of Penelope Spiderbite, the back of his afected hand has a white/cream spider symbol and half of his right arm has turned dark purple (just like Canon! Eclipsa)

His eyes and some part of his tail changed to the same color. He now has black eyelids that could pass as heavy makeup (he doesn't have a problem with that)

His hair has turned white/cream and he has dark purple veins all across his body that resembles a Spiderman suit

He wears a outfit similar to Spider Noir. and part of the suit Canon! Toffee wears. The piece of clothing around his fedora, his tie and his glove are made from the same cape his Rasticore used to wear. The same can be said about his boots (it belonged to Rast)

Because the spell affected his Septarian metabolism, this Toffee is not as tall as Canon! Toffee, being just a little taller than an average adult human.

Personality

He is an anti hero at best. He embraces the "With great power comes great responsibility" philosophy but still makes some selfish acts for his amusement.

He sometimes yearns for company, as he was forced into isolation since other monsters stayed away from him due to being cursed.

The only monster who was always by his side was his best friend and soldier Rasticore, but he died after being hit in the chest with a powerful spell from a Spiderbite soldier. Toffee was very destroyed after that and blames himself for not being there at that time.

He tried to help some monsters with his newfound powers, but ended up killing them, so he decided that staying away from every creature was the best.

He can be very sarcastic and soft spoken like Canon! Toffee, but he has the same Edgelord energy as Spider Noir from the Spiderverse movie.

He believes himself to be a walking disaster machine, an abomination to Septarians, somebody who can't really control his emotions even though he seems so stoic all the time, etc (boi doesn't have the best self esteem in all of Mewni, you know)

But he hides all his insecurities with a mysterious, sometimes playful and sarcastic actitude. The reason he can't control his powers very well is that he has anxiety for all that he's been through.

Powers

He lost completely his regenerative habilities, but gained other interesting powers.

He can shoot purple webs with his affected hand and the tip of his tail, but he won't use the later unless it's a really serious problem because he finds this very awkward.

Whatever is consumed in his webs can be completely destroyed (similar to the spell Canon! Eclipsa used on Meteora), but he only does that to machines and other inanimated objects since he believes that doing this to a living being (Monster or Mewman) is a really low move.

He can stick to the walls and has a spider sense, which is... really not helpfull at all, as he had a lizard sense before and sometimes both senses collide and poor Noir is left wondering what sense is more important before getting hit by an enemy.

He also has other arachnid powers that he doesn't yet discover and even if he does, he would not use them because of his hatred towards spiders.

Even though he has spider powers and has almost accepted them, he despises being called a spider because he asociates that animal with the Spiderbites, the royal family who took everything from him. He prefers to be called by his rogue name: Lizard Noir.

He also accepts lizard, monster, Septarian or just Toffee.

Bonus facts

Since the Star of his dimension is not relevant, he doesn't know who she is.

Just like Spider Noir, his entire world is monochrome and so is he.

Unlike S. Noir, if he arrives at a colorful Dimension, he adquires color and that adventure will be the first time actually hearing new color names, but he's still color blind, hence his confusion with everything around him. Especially the color purple.

He worked as a lawyer defending Monsters Rights, likes to drink West Mewman Swamp Water and fight "Solarian" Warriors. A lot.

Phrases that Toffee uses every time after that fateful spell:

"I hate spiders"

"(sighs)... Great"

"I AM NOT A SPIDER!!!"

"I'm not wearing a mask"

"The Spiderbites are going pay"

"You can call me... Lizard Noir"

"I am NOT allied with the Spiderbite monarchy"

This Toffee concept AU was created in January 2019. Yep, this AU has more than a year in my Tumblr's archives, ready to be presented at any time, and Toffebruary seemed like a good opportunity to do it.

Commentary for Svtfoe

My mind has gone wild, with all of that, especially the “cleaved” promo. There are a few thing i SOOOOOOOOO have to get out my chest.

SPOILER ALERT

The spell with no name

At the beggining i though it was a brand new kind of destructive spell that Eclipsa invented to mass murder lizards. Kind of reminded of the other one that HAD NO NAME At first i though that it must be her darkest spell of her chapter but NO, NOT the same, i personally translated it.

I don’t know why she would used it having that corrosing butterfly...Anyway, according to the poem, this one summons great darkness. Just as it says: 

“I call the darkness onto me from deppest dephts of earth and sea. From ancient evils unawoken break the one who can’t be broken, From blackest nights i pledge my soul and crush my heart to burning coal to summon forth a deadly power to see my hated foe devoured”

Whoa. Ominous. I see the other one is just destructive and powerfull. Eclipsa has an alternative that doesn’t corrupt her body, apparently, but it may not destroy septarians, and that’s why she had to invent her own super destructive one instead of using her momma’s...

Moon and her Solarian disaster

Even if she could undo her warriors, Mina was never her creation, so she would still be there with her power intact. And please, Moon, she would never stop the New Monster Massacre. You fool. You vengefull and resentfull fool. Just like Toffee but he did a better job at planning

Is just me or her magic has gotten darker?

Star’s plan

Sorry but i really don’t think i’ll work. It seems that that spell was made for killing a unicorn or disable a wand, not the magic itself. Wonder how Toffee did it in the first place...wasn’t his only devouring pressence/contact or something? How the heck did he turn into magic itself?

Speaking of the devil. SURPRISE!

Toffee was in the tapestry? Alive? 

I have the theory that those places are interlocked, hence Toffee is somewhat not gone, he was pure magic for corn’s sake. What if Star just makes Toffee reappear by creating the green goo again, and screws all?

@eclipsatheheart the way I see it is she’s not angry at Mina for her Solarian warriors. She’s angry because Mina forgot what the warriors were supposed to do. It’s not just monsters who are getting hurt. Mewmans are too. Mina has tried to eliminate Eclipsa, her precious daughter, multiple times now. Mina claimed to serve Solaria, yet she went after the one thing she truly loved. Mina is no longer serving the Butterfly family and has completely lost herself.

Granted, I’m not saying Solaria shouldn’t be held accountable for these actions, but if someone tried to kill the one person I truly loved, I wouldn’t give them the time of day either.

And the biggest unspoken “FUCK YOU!” to a person award goes to QUEEN SOLARIA!

Globgor looks at Butterfly castle ruins looks at Eclipsa.

"Boo, my darkest star. Do you want to undate me what happen while I was in crystal?"
