Let’s theorize about Star vs
Please be wary if you haven’t seen Into the Wand yet, as I’m going to talk about obvious spoilers.
I must say this episode gave us a lot of information to chew on, and luckily I have been sick and laying in my bed all day which sure gives me a lot of opportunity to mull things over.
So, assuming Eclipsa is Star’s grandmother, that would make her Moon’s mother. It’s very interesting that we now canonically have a queen that fell in love with a monster. Considering mewmans today are still at odds with monsters, I’m going to say the whole idea of the queen being in love with a monster didn’t go over well with the population back then.
The plaque says that Eclipsa was married to a mewman king, and presumably gave birth to Moon, before eloping with a monster (I find it interesting that the monster in the tapestry is noticeably wearing a ring on his ring finger). I imagine this happened when Moon was at a very young age, maybe she was even Star’s age, and she has grown a lot of resentment towards her mother and towards monsters over it. (Yay! She has mother issues!) Perhaps she sided with the mewman population and considered her a traitor, perhaps she put the blame entirely on monsters for stealing her mother away. It’s hard to say, this is all speculation, but it’s not hard to guess that Moon had a lot of negative feelings about these events.
Which brings us to this image
So it goes without saying that these tapestries are intended to depict a defining moment for the queen they are portraying, and boy is there a lot going on in this picture. First off there is the obvious proof that Toffee battled with Moon in the past. But there is something interesting in Toffee’s outfit upon closer inspection
His shoulder pads are skulls that have the same cheek marks as Moon and Eclipsa. This could have the obvious interpretation that he is an enemy of these two queens, but if you’re like me and love reading too much into everything it could mean that Toffee has a relation to these two in some way. And especially after seeing these tweets kicking around on twitter
There has been crazy fandom theorizing that Toffee is the son of Eclipsa and the monster she eloped with, making him Moon’s half-sibling. Juicy drama fitting of a spanish soap opera. It’s hard to say why Toffee was battling with Moon, maybe he was trying to claim the throne? To share it? Avenge his mother who was exiled from her kingdom? Maybe he’s not actually related at all and he’s just attacking the kingdom cus he’s an evil monster? Who knows.
Whatever the reason, Moon is attacking him with a ferocity and anger that we have never seen from her before. A character who we have barely seen crack a smile is now shown holding a vicious expression like this
With the plaque saying that she unleashed her “darkest spell” on Toffee. It is very clear that she has many personal feelings towards Toffee, for one reason or another.
My main thought that I get from all this is one thing: if it is true that Toffee is related to Moon, then this scene depicts a very decisive moment in Mewni history. With the last queen running off to be with a monster, the relations between mewmans and monsters was likely in a state of unrest. Moon had the power to either create a peace between the two parties, or forever sever them, making monsters the enemy of Mewni. In her state of anger and resentment over what her mother did, she released this dark spell, deciding that monsters do not deserve to be equals with mewmans. It certainly adds a lot of depth to her character.
This is all insane speculation on my part of course. I fully expect that when all is revealed in canon I will be proven completely wrong, but that’s kinda the fun part of theorizing.
