TYRONE

I was watching TV in my grandparents’ house right after I moved to another city, and unexpectedly the blood moon ball episode of Star vs. started. I already (vaguely) knew what that was about because one of my classmate’s sister liked it, and I’ve read one of the books of svtfoe in a bookstore, but it was the first time actually watching an episode of that show.

Everything about that episode was so captivating. It was like magic. I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen. All of the characters were so interesting as well as the blood moon ball itself but I couldn’t stop thinking about Tom after watching that episode. The contrast between the way he presented himself and his actual personality was so shocking and horribly amusing. The moment of him bursting into flames was engraved in my brain. (I’d include a doodle of my face when I watched that moment but it’s 1 am so)

I like this moment because… it’s funny. I should draw my OTP/ocs as these two. It also tells a little about how Tom & Star used to work as a couple(and why they broke up). It’s a really good episode because it shows each character’s flaws and how each of them clashes with the rest.

My biggest mistake was thinking that he was cool(I was around 12 at the time :/). He’s not cool at all. Every time I rewatch this moment I cringe at his half-closed eyes and the eyebrows and the lopsided smile and the red flame moon, he’s trying SO hard to impress Star and it doesn’t work at all. His fucking bunny manages to convince Star just a little bit. A for effort I guess??? I would make fun of him every time I watch this Blood Moon Ball. But then I’d kind of feel bad for him. :p

I just like watching him be his most selfish stupidest worst self in a fancy white suit.

HA. I know exactly what they smell like.

Tom: perfume that smells like artificial roses and smoke. Naturally he just smells like smoke and ashes but he likes wearing his perfume. He puts on a LOT of it when he’s going to try getting Star back, or when he has to go to formal gatherings. Delphinah doesn’t really like the smell, it’s too strong for her. She gags and coughs when Tom puts on his signature perfume too much. One time she even asked him if he was smoking cigarettes. 3/10.

Mandrake: the faintest hint of smoke. When he’s getting mad, red smoke that smells like black pepper surrounds him. 3.5/10. Delphinah likes the smell of pepper, she just doesn’t like it when Mandrake gets pissed.

Gecko: nothing… sometimes perfume but it’s very subtle and light. It smells weird in a good way, it’s not exactly flowery or fruity but also not artificial. 8/10. She wonders what kind of perfume it is.

Red Son: incense and mala. The mala gets intensely stronger when he’s angry. Sometimes he smells really sweet and minty when he applies some balms to him. Nayaka steals his balms.
