Ugh... I'm actually late 🐍🦎

Finally, a trend that I actually like..

I liked it because of how well it captures the atmosphere of the cartoon the colorful, vibrant picture hides genocide, oppression, humiliation, and all the horrors that Toffee had to go through.. If the animated series was at least somewhat lenient toward the monsters, then they didn't present his death as a joke.. No matter how much evil he caused, he didn't do more evil than what others did to him..

I beg you to support this project, it was difficult for me, if there is a good response, I promise I will make this animation in color..

Eclipsa was, perhaps, the only character toward whom Elistafet felt such warm, almost maternal affection.

Their acquaintance began extremely tensely—with Elistafet's total hatred for the daughter of Solaria, the murderer of her family. She remained skeptical for a long time, even when the other monsters began to accept Eclipsa.

Yet Eclipsa's very nature could not help but affect her. Elista is half-Mewman; the blood of the enemy flows through her veins, and this stirred up a whole tangle of internal conflicts. If she categorically considers all Mewmans enemies, does that mean she herself is a potential traitor? These thoughts drove her to engage with the butterfly princess, to try to understand her true motives. And the longer Elistafet spent time with her, the clearer she saw before her not an enemy, but a child trapped in a system from which there is no escape—yet doing everything possible within the limits of her age and strength. Elistafet grows fond of her and is almost ready to reconcile with her own human side.

Wait for the full animation...

Here, in this time, they are still so young. Toffee still wears his crown of branches — he hasn't renounced the throne yet, he remains a prince. This is one of my favorite details about the local monsters: their crowns, woven from twigs and shoots. They feel so raw, so primal — a perfect reflection of their untamed nature.

The new style he's showing off now goes against everything the old traditions stand for. Maybe it's his personal act of rebellion against his ancestors' ways. Or maybe — it's a quiet symbol of his identity slowly slipping away.

It's curious how the immortal monsters adorn themselves with bones and skulls. You could read it as a sort of mockery of death — the one thing that, unlike everything else, simply cannot touch them.

Elstafet, on the other hand, prefers to keep her hood on. She tries not to stand out, to blend in with the other snakes and meet their standards. But of course, it's all in vain. The Uroboros wear white to set themselves apart — to signal their elevation, their distance from other monsters.

From a young age, Uroboros are taught to dance and sing. It's a core part of their self-expression — an art meant to bring delight to other monsters. But after the war began, Elstafet never made a sound again. And the disability she gained has forever taken away her ability to touch any instrument.

Their ideals here are so different that, if they were free monsters living on Mewni without the Butterflys, they would never have chosen to work together.

Hoarding Disorder🐍🦎

Hoarding Syndrome in Elistafet and Toffee, and the latter having to deal with it. The clash of their defense mechanisms.

Toffee possesses very low emotional intelligence, and for this reason, his help in curing a mental illness remains limited. His world is built on control and clear agreements, and in his relationship with Elista, he offers only these tools—requests, deadlines, obligations—leaving the deeper layers of trauma unaddressed. He understands the reasons for her condition and sees the logic behind every step, but his own emotional apparatus does not grant him access to the levers that could unravel this knot, so he remains within the bounds of his competence, registering external manifestations instead of facilitating internal transformation.

The important idea I wanted to convey through this character is that hard work and perseverance can be stronger than magic.

Elistaphet works on her body every day. Her muscles aren't impressive compared to other monsters, but unlike Mina Loveberry, whose muscles were artificially created, she trains long and hard. In their direct fight, Mina wins, of course. But once her magic runs out, Mina can no longer stand against monsters — and on top of that, she has to pay with her mental health due to the magic's side effects. Muscles built through hard work, on the other hand, don't just disappear.

The paradox is that in battle, Elistaphet relies on her inventions, cunning, and agility she doesn't actually need muscles. She trains them mainly to meet monster standards, easily falling for the propaganda of monstrous musculature, and is willing to waste enormous amounts of time and energy just to fit in.

Still, the training isn't useless: she enjoys being stronger, and it helps her work with metal.

I'm genuinely really curious to know which of the seven deadly sins you would assign to which character.

I'll post my own version a bit later, where I'll break down in detail who I think fits which sin pride, envy, wrath, etc.

But here's something else that cracks me up. The contrast. Toffee looks so compact standing next to two actual giants, Rasticore and Seth. And that's what I love about him. He has room for a sense of his own imperfection. The motivation to compensate for his less monstrous size with intelligence. That's such a great explanation for why he's so detached from the other monsters. How different he is.

I'm just overcoming the art block..

I've wanted to implement this meme for a long time.
