some thoughts about Star vs the... yeah
So, today i wanna talk about some Star vs the forces of evil headcanons i made up. or just thoughts, not even cool conspiracy theories. I don't think this is super original or smth, but i've been rewatching the show and these ideas came up.
First of all. have you ever noticed that Eclipsa (season 3, episode 15) uses all these funny-ish childish mnemonic technics in the archive... exactly like adult Star could do? i'd never noticed that before! but the second time watching the show i knew enough information about plot and characters to pay decent attention to the scene after 'magic exam' with Baby (season 2, episode 16) when Baby tells the High Commission that only Eclipsa was equal to Star in magic powers at the same age. Without that, i don't think i would compare Eclipsa and Star that way. Only in their royal misbehavior maybe, but not their character traits.
But, knowing that after Eclipsa the royal bloodline was halted, it's kinda strange. It would be more smooth if they were related. Without that, it's more like 'oh yeah, girls with ADHS exist'. Well, not the worst plot twist, i guess.
Also, i like so much that Eclipsa is lazy like a cat and she's not ashamed of it! You go girrrrl.~
As for Star, you may hate me, but i think she is obviously stupid, but that's definitely GOOD for her. Actually, i really envy her about that! Her naïveté and her bare stupidity are the reasons why she's so strong, so resourceful. She's, like. Canceled overthinking. She does things, not thinks about them. Like a paradox of Hamlet and Don Quixote (the first one thinks but doesn't do, and the second one does but doesn't think). And she's deeeefinitely not a Hamlet. But this is why she finds resources every time to fix the mess that she made. (Although, having magic and not knowing any single repairing spell? What a shame).
Also, a few words about Jackie Lynn Thomas. She's, like, a perfect crush for everyone. She's cool and dynamic and... cool... and nice... It's hard to not like her. Seeing her was a bittersweet experience for me because you know that feeling? 'I wanna be with her or i wanna be her?' She is P, E, R, F, E, C, T. Perfect. Little Ramona Flowers without trust issues (and seven exes. probably). She is so chill. so relaxed and understanding. Marco is definitely not good enough for her.
But is she really this kind of person? What does she do after school, how does she feel when she messes up? (and don't try to tell me that she never messes things up, everyone does!)
I think she seems to be so perfect because... we don't see exactly who she is? She is depicted so perfect because we see her as Marco sees, and Star sees her also like Merco sees, and actually, you (well, okay, ME) don't need to be sorry that you are not like her. She is not real. She is a perfect crush, but we just don't know who she is outside of that box.
And now some attention to the Glossaryck. Previous time watching the show, i was really creeped out by his transformation into some doggish childish something. But now i think... It's made very clear that he is connected with the Book of spells. And when Star resurrects him, it's only one tiny tiny piece of the book left. So, it's just like only one tiny tiny part of his great powerful mind too! And then it's logical that he behaves so strangely.
And that's pretty much it for today! I'm new to tumblr so i would be glad to any feedback and reaction! See ya~
