Oh boy, when will this obsession die??

Horribly underutilized, underdeveloped, and no combat or wins to show for whatsoever

Whoever thought that this snack of a nothing burger was intimidating or a world ending threat??

The little man crush Ludo might of had Toff pre-bretrayal. Toffee IMO being demi-aroace does notice, uses it to his advantage to get on his good side lmao.

HC that Mainland Septarsis is on a completely different island so Toffee had to stay over in Avarious Castle for that short period.

Post S4 AU, I imagine Ludo's reaction to seeing more Septarians in Mewni a little triggering.

Especially since I hc septarians being a gender dymorphic species, it would be confusing asf why these women look more like Toffee than the rest of the men in their kind.

Now imagine Toffee just walking around Mewni casually in his "retirement." His only reason being there is to make sure his nieces and nephews are safe. Then unexpectedly walking into Ludo in town or something.

i guess??

remind me to finish this 6 months later

Eclipsa: "So you don't love me???"

Toffee: "We both have female reproductive systems— You should be blaming Globgor."

Globgor: "I'm sorry, guys- I'm sorry!

I could also use the concept as a segway to how eclipsa and globgor first met (toffee would be in the middle of on-site medical training at the time).

Can you tell this AU is still very much a work in progress?

Executing HOW I'll do it will be future-me's problem; I just wanna get the concept put there.

SVTFOE is another example of using "Indian/native/tribal aesthetic" to depict foreign races, and is another white-saviour narrative.

I'm aware that using native/foreign cultures as a reference for creating fictional societies is common and typical— but the fact that it is normal irritates me.

"Steal like an artist," is an entirely valid motto in order to grow and develop as an artist. However it's just sad to see first-world artists and storytellers pull from other cultures as inspiration (or in some cases steal) specifically to depict foreign/native communities in their stories.

Butterfly Castle resembling the Taj Mahal.

Star's Room, another Taj Mahal inspired tower.

Cacti surrounding the Diaz home because they're Mexican... however the SVTFOE implies that Mr and Mrs Diaz are "tree doctors"/botanists— which could explain the house's design. ((Honestly wish the show naturally integrated more of Marco's heritage because to me it's depicted more as a "unique character quirk" than genuine representation... probably not what Daron was aiming for which only further adds to the problem)).

The monster temple constantly being referred to by the MHC and Butterflies as "evil."

If the stereotyping of natives being religious wasn't enough, the show doesn't do anything to remedy nor explain how demonizing native religion is bad.

and did the temple aesthetic have to look as if we're based on the Aztec or of India?

Even if it's "just fiction," we should be aware of the oppressive historical origins of some of existing writing tropes and design conventions, and derive from it.

If you're going to write a protagonist that dismantles racism and colonization from the perspective of someone born or raised into the side of the oppressor— it it fucking right by NOT writing the oppressed as helpless individuals, because no white man/woman in history had to fight as hard than the oppressed themselves.

Write more characters from the oppressed side and make them active in making a change. I'm so fucking tired of stories of white-saviour such as in Disney's Atlantis, James Cameron's Avatar, and even in My Little Pony for fucks sake.

I swear to fuck— this tropes consistently exist because they're written by white people, to make other white people to feel good about themselves and feel like they're the good guys for "fighting against the oppressors."

This is the result of a past tween seeing "representation" in media gone horribly wrong
