The show meant so much to me and the way it was handled deeply saddens me. I’ve been thinking for a while about why I got attached to this specific character out of everyone in the show and I think I’m ready to form all that thinking into a concrete post.
It stems from the love and fun of the show itself. I remember it so clearly, me seeing bits of season one and seeing the person I wanted to be and the fun I wished I could have. The sincere joy of friendship and finally one that reminded me of my (male) best friend at the time. It was so refreshing and charming to me. The music and the animation style gripped my young soul.
The show was fun, sincere and oh so charming.
And then he appeared.
The immediate contrast to everything around him, all the lore implication and the way he forced star to improve in a very unique way.
Toffee is an EXACT opposite to Star in basically every way. She's young, he's old. Her careless life that was only improved by magic in every aspect and his life implied to be constantly worsened by magic. Their demeanours, their approaching to planing and their very nature was different.
His character is a straight challenge to the show itself and I could NOT wait to see how the show would develop.
I now know what I wanted the show to be but even back then I subconsciously knew what I wanted. I wanted the show to acknowledge the difference in morality and life. I wanted the show to acknowledge that life isn't always fun, that history is dark and that bad and awful things happen, but it doesn't mean you have to stop being whimsical or happy to live. That even if your history is cruel, you can work and change because someone will help. That the way humans treat eachother and their environment isnt perfect but
YOU CAN MAKE IT AND YOU CAN SMILE ALL THE WAY
I dislike that the conflict between mewmans and monsters was boiled down to racism. It should have been a parallel to nature itself. The way humans intrude in nature and the way they treat animals and how cruel it is. There are animals that are intelligent and I reminiss about how they would react or what they would tell us if we spoke the same way. Demoting a minority to non human monsters, never acknowledging genocides and torture of that minority and all those implications left so so much to be desired.
I wanted Toffee to represent a part of nature that was hurt. He could encompass so many things... The way people change in war, how cruel people can be to eachother , slowly losing culture and being forced to change your life and yourself to fit a society that hates you... So much was lost potential. I wanted Star and Marco to represent the new generation that will make things better. The ones profiting from the system but also being endangered by it. All while having the ability to improve and shape the way thing will turn out. The wand should've been a parallel to technology (neutral force used by a range of moralities). It was used to hurt Toffee and his kind but it can also create rainbows and puppies. The magic book of spells containing so many unique and varied uses of it. So much potential for cruelty and pain, but also for beauty and life. Star will not use it for evil.
Even if Toffee was killed off at the end, Ludo Heinous and Mina will show the positive way change can affect them and the way old tradition and upbringing WILL affect someone. The way nature and people can heal and improve but also the way they have been changed by the system and how they were treated by it. It should have at least been acknowledged .
Thank you for reading all the way andI hope this is comprehesive. I know it might sound strange and I have so many different opinions on everything and everyone in the show and SOuch depth I could go into. I've been thinking about it for a while...
If there is a specific part of the show and you're curious about my opinion on it, feel free to ask!

Star and Ludo are supposed to be friends in the post-canon and I find it quite cute, but there's sadly not much fanart of them together, so would you mind drawing them playing basketball together or something liked that?
Star without her check marks is so horrifically weird to draw why’d the show do that 😭

Im having the absolute time of my life drawing for this show that I lowkey slept on for years for no reason. Seriously, the svtfoe fandom (and my precious Meteora especially) is my safe space from all the dark shit I'm dealing with rn. They're single handedly keeping my head up and pushing me to keep creating
p.s.
Right now l'm absolutely starving for content of her older self (Heinous) and her interactions with other characters, especially her family. My girl deserves to know what it's like to live in a loving, accepting family without being turned into a little ass
rambling rambling rambling ignore me I’m going insane
I have. so. much. svtfoe. art omg bro 😭 MUCH more than I’ve shared it’s borderline embarrassing. should i just rewatch the show and ruin it for myself? Like… dude i will definetly keep drawing toffee but i think im getting a little too involved for my own good;; i saw a screenshot from "chiniverse" where they turned the GOAT himself into a blend with a nasty ass mole rat i don’t even know. They’re making fun of me I swear to fucking god.
FUCK man my stupid baka life 😭
I know how insane it sounds and how they’re definetly never doing it but PLEASE rewrite/restart the show… do something like… from the battle of mewni at least…. Just PLEASE only do the theme you’re actually interested in 🙏 like the gender stuff was good but omg do not try the racism again if don’t give a damn like it’s ok to keep a focused theme PLEASE I NEED TO SEE HIM AGAIN BRO 🙏😭
I should draw Ludo I think 🤔 Miss Meteora too… THEY DID HER SO DIRTY OMG the baby stuff was egregious and the teenage episode wasted time… LOKE THAT SHOULDVE BEEN SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL CUZ THEY DIDNT EVEN BOTHER CHARACTERIZING HER PROPERLY OMG 😭😡😡😡 ok? ok.
The thing of sacrificing the depth of the male characters in favor of the women's tridimensionality WOULD be hilarious on a meta-narrative level if it wasn't that a lot of the male characters in question are also part of the minority the entire show supposedly wants to focus on

I think a rlly big part of how I remember this show so fondly is cuz I only watched the parts I distinctly like 😭 this show pisses me off to no bounds but by Jove if they don’t have amazing concepts and characters… their treatment is a different story though
I like the detail of Tom wearing coats and layers on earth since it’s a bit chilly for him… SIGHHH THIS SHOULDVE… UGH.. this show 😡😡😡
GAAAAL!!!! HAVE YOU SEEN THE STAR VS THE FORCES OF EVIL THEME SONG TAKEOVER!? OMG NEW CONTENT?
YAAAA IVE SEEN IT… omg though… I LOOVE THAT WERE GETTING CONTENT and I love seeing Ludo, and his girls especially
I’m stopping myself from ranting. I want them to know that this is positive reception, I just love critiquing and analysing media I love so I’m stopping 😭
The way Princess Arms could’ve helped star deal with leadership… every single adult in stars life failed her, I think Arms would’ve done wonders for her. Becoming so dependent on Marco could’ve been eased by her presence.
I think Star would just make Arms life easier and more fun… Star could be a proper equal to Arms because of her personality, power and presence. There aren’t any standout princesses besides star, arms and Marco constantly at olgas… it would’ve been so nice for arms..
