okay. A lot happened this week’s episodes and more importantly a lot happened to set up the endgame relationships. But I want to talk specifically about Junkin’ Janna and this significance of the message of this episode
Let there be no mistake this was definitely a Jantom episode. And I made another post earlier this week abut the foreshadowing of Jantom. Now its become even clearer. But a specific scene in this episode showed what the future was gonna be for one specific couple. And I’m talking about Startom.
This episode was about letting go of certain things in order to move forward in life. Which is exactly what ended up happening for bothTom and Janna. However, on was more significant than the other.
Throughout the episode Janna shows annoyance about Tom’s constant need to check in on Star and ignoring what they were just doing. She wasn’t annoyed with him. But his unhealthy obsession with Star. Right when he’s starting to get out of his shell he goes back to texting and sending selfies to Tom. This sets up the ultimate climax at the end of the episode.
Janna on the other hand revels that she only brought Tom along to blast a bird who’s been taking her cool stuff every time she finds something. at the end of this episode this all changes.
The scene of significance and The end of Tomstar
When Tom and Janna got into Butterfly castle in order to get Janna’s boot back But that decisions come from a very interesting thing Janna says “Look, I need my booth and you need your compact.” Tom and her work together in order to get her boot back and they get along quite nicely.
However things don’t go as planned and the bird turns out to be monster creature and then attacks Janna.
Janna then decides that the boot isn’t worth it. She just wants to leave and to live. so she leaves that desire behind. This isn’t that surprising given that Janna just wants to live. But this is important because Janna said before entering the castle that she “needs”her boot and Tom “needs” his compact.
But whatissurprising is what happens directly after
Tom goes in front of Janna to save her. But what he uses is his phone the same phone that he has been using to keep in contact with Star throughout the episode. Now I’ve talked about phones in a previous post and how they foreshadowed romance with their phone cases. I talked about how Janna’s phone case replicated many things in Tom’s underworld. But I didn’t see anything out the ordinary with Tom’s can that pointed to anything in particular romance wise. But that’s because its not what was on the case that mattered, but what was on the inside of the screen that did.
Tom using his phone itself is significant because of that fact alone. But what reallysets in stone my conclusion is the fact that Star’s name is explicitly on the screen with a new text from her.
But that’s not all. In the phone above you see a crack in the keyboard alone. But a second later, the whole phone screen shatters. This marks the nd of Star and Tom’s relationship. Tom gave up his phone but he also gave up Star in order to protect Janna. And this also proves that they didn't “need”that stuff. But really each other
And by the look on Janna’s face, she’s just as shocked as we are.
That moment changes everything. Janna sees Tom in a new light. Her face doesn’t change for a good couple of moments after he saves her She’s in genuine shock about what just happened and what Tom did for her. Things. have. changed. Between the both of them and Janna is the only one who can see the truth in that immediately. Tom still isn’t aware of what exactly has changed.
Now. What does this mean? What does Janna have to do with Tom and Star’s breakup?
The answer to both questions is very interesting. What does this mean? Star and Tom’s relationship is at the end of their line and will come to an end soon.
What does Janna have to do with the breakup? Nothing directly. This episode just shows that the chemistry between Janna and Tom is very strong and very reminiscent of Star and Marco’s relationship in season one. Janna has nothing to do what why Star and Tom will break up. But she does have everything to do what what will happen after.
This episode exists for a reason. Their interactions are reminiscent for a reason. Tom and Janna we ill become a couple in the future after Tom and Star break up. and I think that their romantic development will most likely happen in “Jannanigans.”
Overall, This episode was about Tom and Janna letting go of something they though they needed. They fought and argued over these things. But when it came down to eminent danger they dropped all those things and focused on each other and keeping each other safe. Tom more so than Janna because Janna is used to taking care of herself and didn’t expect anything from Tom. Once again this is very much like season one Starco. Janna’s face in that last photo proves that she wasn’t expecting Tom to do anything for her but is grateful none the less. and in the final shots of the episode we see that Janna and Tom’s body language has changed from acquaintance to something else.
We now see that Janna’s feelings for Tom really has changed. I wouldn’t say it’s romantic as of yet. But that’s what "Jannanigans” is for.
I’ve watched “Star VS The Forces of Evil” episode 21 season 4. It’s the last episode of the series and on the one hand, I understand that giving series a proper ending is one the most important things you can do, but on the other hand, I don’t want it to end. (Spoilers!) Star wants to destroy magic, goes to the magical dimension and start making a whispering spell and finds out that her powers aren’t enough. Marco took the wand and now tries to take care of Tom, who spent all that time there and now doesn’t have any memories (I was afraid that they forgot about Tom completely). So Marco has to feed him with pudding (Magic is weird), he succeeds and they both fight purple unicorns. Two other queens come and help Star, spirits of other queens come too and observe. Mina hears their spell from the well, falls in, but fights the unicorns and doesn’t disturb the spell. The spell on its turn works and now they have to run to the portals, which are collapsing. Already on Mewni, Star decides to come back for Marco and finds that he’s still there and there are no more portals. They stay there hugging each other and then the dimension blows up. Star wakes up on Mewni, everybody’s okay and she’s almost happy and then Tom shows her a huge glowing portal and she rushes to it. Marco wakes up on Earth and sees this portal too, takes Jackie’s board and tries to reach it. They are both late but then the portal blows up and now all the dimensions seem to be united. Star and Marco are together. I don’t know how it can be explained, what did it? Their love? I don’t care. I’m just so happy for them… For all of them. Now I’m going to take a little pause, read some comics, rethink my life, decide what to watch next.
I’ve watched “Star VS The Forces of Evil” episodes 17-18 season 4. In the first part of the first episode (Spoilers!), Tom and Star finally break up. By “finally” I mean that it was expectable and everything was leading to it, not that I wanted it to happen. Well, Tom wants to leave now (obviously). Wants to leave, but can’t open the portal and neither can Star, they think it’s because they are both too emotional, but when Marco comes and his scissors don’t work too, so they understand that something’s wrong on Mewni. In the second part, they realize that Janna somehow got on Mewni without a portal, so they find Janna and she says that she doesn’t remember how did she get on Mewni, but she agrees to remember how did her “normal Thursday” go. They end up in the cellar of Taco shop and find a well which leads to the Magical dimension. In the first part of the second episode, they start throwing trash there to call the Firstborn, so that she leads them to Mewni, without them losing their memories. She finally agrees and pulls four of them in a car through the dimension, they start losing their memories, Marco confesses his love to Star, Then a bad thing happens – the unicorn sinks in some “bad magic” – but it’s not like with Toffee, where it was bog-green, this time it’s purple. Kids get off the car and just play with little unicorns until the Firstborn comes again and, while fighting with another big purple unicorn, send them all on Mewni. In the last part Marco wakes up in the castle overhearing Magical High Commission discussing their plan with Mina Loveberry, Star wakes up in a shack and goes to the human village where her parents live now – they are building a huge wall and tell her that Eclipsa’s castle is under attack, so Star rushes to help. Janna wakes at the monster village, Eclipsa saves her from Mina’s spell, then Mina hurts Globgor (badly), so Janna stays with him, while Eclipsa fights Mina.
I’ve watched “Star VS The Forces of Evil” episodes 15-16 season 4. In the first part of the first episode Star and Marco are getting ready for their trip and saying goodbye to everybody and when everything seems ready, she still comes up with excuses to delay their departure. (Spoilers!) Tom asks her, what’s wrong she can’t tell, but says that she doesn’t want to go. Tom blows up (a little, not like he used to, and he has a reason) and flees and Star goes to Earth and meets Marco (who came home too) and his little sister Mariposa. The second part is about how Star has some thaws, realizes that it’s summer on Earth and she doesn’t have to do anything. She and Marco go to get tacos and meet Jackie there. Marco is nervous and thinks that he was a bad boyfriend, but she assures him that he was and still is a very good friend and she also got a French girlfriend. The first part of the second episode is about the Beach day and yes, again about this photo from the future. Star and Marco have a beach day, finally, make the photo, but Star isn’t happy and goes to ask Father Time about it. It turns out that he didn’t give her this picture, she from the future did (or will do, time paradoxes) and she decides to live it as it is and just have fun with Marco on the beach. The last part is very cool: Marco babysits both Mariposa and Meteora, Hecapoo comes to warn him to stay out of Mewni and accidentally leaves her portal open and both babies go there – to the Neverzone. Star and Marco go to find them and they do find – two amazing and fierce teenage girls, one of whom can use magic and the other is a very good fighter. They don’t want to go with some weird strangers, instead of it they knock them off and try to sell Star as a magic-user to some magical creature in exchange for magic powers for Mariposa. Firstly, this magical creature – Wyscan – is just a fabulous blue-skinned elf with long white hair who can fly and always stands on his toes, secondly, he was going to eat Star with a huge mouth he had on his stomach and Mariposa (with Marco’s persuasion) decides that it’s no good and they fight him and can run away. The funny thing is that Star and Marco were able to make girls go with them after telling them that they have different tasty food in their world (unlike the Hecapoo’s dimension, where they had to eat garlic spiders).
I’ve watched “Star VS The Forces of Evil” episodes 13-14 season 4. The first part of the first episode has some sweet-sweet Tomco. Tom feels that he’s not cool enough (that he has to be “the cool one”, but he doesn’t actually do anything cool, that Marco does), so he decides to join The Dragon-cycling club and make some very dangerous jump, but he can’t bond with his dragon (Spoilers!) and when he finally befriends him, Tom lets him go and just flies of the cliff. The second part is about Eclipsa and Globgor going on a date (inside Globgor’s mind), Globgor makes stupid jokes and is generally nice and fun. Eclipsa gives him a present – a spell, which can decrystallize him, but he says that he doesn’t want to do it until the kingdom is ready. When Star finds out about it (because to make this decrystallizing spell, Eclipsa had to steal the piece of Spell-Book from Star’s secret closet) she says that he can’t trust Eclipsa and that the queen doesn’t think about her people. When Eclipsa says that she’s not even an official queen, Star decides to give her a proper coronation and then withdraw herself from all those “adult” stuff. The second episode is dedicated to the coronation. At first, everything goes well until Eclipsa needs to get another pack of strings for her guitar and finds out that Globgor is gone from his crystal. She tries to calm everybody and find him herself, but the Magical High Commission accuses her of every possible crime and chain her. Star tries to hunt Globgor on the bog, but it turns out that he had no intention of hurting anybody – he was going away from the castle. Star’s father (who was in the bog as well) also related to Globgor (as a father). So, she returned him to the coronation, but it didn’t help – only started a fight between Globgor and the Magical High Commission. It stopped when someone in the audience (which was still there) noticed a baby in the fire – Eclipsa and Globgor went to save her. Everybody realized that he meant no harm and just wanted to protect his family. Star also realizes that Rhombulus freed Globgor himself, just to show how evil he was. Well, it worked the other way around and the people accepted both Eclipsa and Globgor. They are so sweet together! I don’t want them to get hurt, but there are seven more episodes and something has to happen. After all, there’s still Mina.
вынашивала эту идею еще с прошлого томтобера, но все никак не могла реализовать. и вот - настал тот час, когда я могу представить вам симбиоз моего любимого мультсериала и моей любимой серии игр ( + любимые пейринги ), что вызывают внутри меня самые нежные чувства. хоть результатом я и не в полной мере довольна, за что я могу сказать спасибо своим загонам, но не опубликовать его будет самым настоящим грехом.
понимаю, что под данной темой скорее всего подразумевалось то самое путешествие, что совершил Том в четвертом сезоне, в которое он изначально собирался вместе со Стар, но подобные чэлледжи на то и содержат расплывчатые названия, чтобы каждый интерпретировал их как душенька пожелает. вот и вышло, что в моей голове первым делом всплыла вся эта эстетика поездов и электричек, что так успокаивающе стучат колесами по рельсам, а палящее алое солнце заигрывает с волосами пассажиров через немного заляпанное окно. надеюсь, что хоть на грамм я смогла передать эту атмосферу (а еще представим, что за кадром находится Марко, что решил скрасить свои каникулы в компании столь очаровательного демона, фотографирующий своего возлюбленного *перечеркнуто* ОЧЕНЬ хорошего друга)).
один из самых сильных моментов за весь четвертый сезон. когда я еще в промо-ролике увидела Тома в таком состоянии, я испытала противоречивый калейдоскоп сильнейших эмоций - шок; страх за него; восторг от, казалось бы, простого, но отлично передающего зачарованность демона в столь опасном измерении, образа с подтеками, впалыми щеками и отрешенным взглядом пустых глаз. поэтому как только стала известна тема первого дня - о перерисовки другого кадра не могло быть и речи.
