Tom Lucitor Head Canon: What would Tom be like as a lover?
In Star vs. the Forces of Evil, Tom Lucitor’s journey is one of the most significant redemption arcs in the show. If he were a romantic partner, his personality would likely be a mix of intense devotion and a constant, conscious effort to be a "better man."
Here is a breakdown of what a relationship with the Prince of the Underworld might look like:
1. The "Reformed" Romantic
Tom starts the series as a volatile, jealous ex, but he grows into someone who values communication and self-control.
He wouldn’t just be a partner; he’d be a partner who is actively working on himself. Expect him to use his "Anger Management" techniques in the middle of a disagreement to avoid a literal flare-up. Once Tom is committed, he is all-in. He has shown he is willing to step back and let his partner shine, even if it means putting his own ego aside.
2. Grand Gestures and Demon-Kingdom Luxury
Being the Prince of the Underworld comes with certain perks. Tom doesn't really do "low-key" very well.
Think carriage rides, VIP underworld club access, and supernatural displays of affection. He’s the type to bring you a bouquet of cursed fire-flowers or take you on a literal "soul-searching" journey.
3. High Intensity and Vulnerability
Because Tom feels things so deeply, the emotional stakes are always high.
Given his literal fire powers, he is physically warm (or scorching). His design—three eyes and sharp features—suggests a partner who is comfortable with his "monster" side but uses it for protection. Deep down, Tom struggles with feeling like a "backup" or "second best." He needs a partner who provides consistent reassurance and values his progress.
4. The Family Dynamic
Dating Tom means dealing with Dave and Wrathmelior.
You’d have to navigate the hilarious but intimidating contrast between his tiny, calm father and his massive, fiery demon mother. Family dinners in the Underworld would be a regular, likely chaotic, occurrence.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ultimately, Tom would be a passionate, protective, and evolving partner. He’s best suited for someone who appreciates a "reformed bad boy" and isn't afraid of a little heat.
