Crosswicking from Protagonist Centered Morality

* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: The finale has become infamous for this:
** In particular, the last few minutes [[spoiler:shows Earth and Mewni fused together. Despite all the humans running and screaming in fear from the monsters, all the destroyed stuff, how hard it will be for everyone to adapt to the new world, the mostly unresolved racism between monsters and regular Mewmans, the fact that people who have been ruled by a monarchy for their entire lives now having to coexist with countless different world governments, and that Star and Marco will never see their friends who didn't live on Mewni again,]] this is still treated as a good thing and a happy ending because it means [[spoiler:Star and Marco get to stay together. In other words, who cares how many billions of people have had their lives uprooted as long as our leads get to stay together?]]
** While the rest of the events of the episode don't directly benefit Star as much, it is arguably a much worse case of this. Star's plan to save the monsters of Mewni from genocide is to [[spoiler:destroy magic, which will kill everyone made of or dependent on magic. Since this is not limited to Mewni, but takes place across the entire multiverse, that means Star will be killing millions if not billions of people and creatures across space, which is almost certainly a bigger genocide she than the one she is trying to prevent.]] And yet, since it will save her people and stop Mina, it is played as unambiguously right and the only option. In other words, if it will save my people from genocide, [[spoiler:it's okay to commit a far larger act of genocide.]]

* TheScapegoat: {{Implied|Trope}}. [[spoiler:In the end of the series, Star deems magic as evil and the cause of all the problems in the series. She states that using magic to solve problems only causes more problems, and the ones using it are all idiots who don't deserve the power they have, her own family included. It's better to not have it than let it be abused by the corrupt and stupid anymore. However, even though it's true that abuse of magic is one of the cause of problems, it's not the main cause. Rather, it was the racism between the Mewmans and Monsters and battle over the lands. It's implied that Star is just ignoring the complexity of the situation because she wants a quick solution to stop Mina, so she decides to destroy magic]].

Added DiffLines:
* NeverSayDie: Sometimes averted, but occasionally played straight:
** In "Match Maker", an incredibly destructive spell Star casts incapacitates Ludo's monster army, and while she's gloating over her victory to Ludo, she briefly worries that she just killed one of his monsters. Ludo insists that the guy she thinks she might've killed is "just bleeding internally and being a total baby about it!"
** In "The Other Exchange Student", Star assumes that fellow exchange student Gustav actually plans to eat the Diaz family. After strapping herself to the hood of the car, she tries in vain to warn them, "YOU'RE ALL GOING TO DIIEEE!"
** Brittney Wong tells Ludo, "I hope you destroy her," when he ambushes Star after she crashed Brittney's birthday party and overshadowed her.
** Toffee mentions that the "Mewnipendence Day" holiday celebrated by Mewmans is better known to the monsters as the "Great Monster Massacre", and the context of the holiday makes it clear that it was indeed a literal massacre.
** The first question of the Truth or Punishment game played at Star's sleepover is the surprisingly mundane and unimpressive "What is your favorite color?" Pony Head figures that subsequent questions will be much heavier, like "have you ever killed a man?" [[BlackComedyBurst Pony Head then dismisses that as actually being a really easy question for her too.]]
** "Gift of the Card":
*** Miss Heinous tells Rasticore at the beginning of the episode to destroy Star.
*** The terms of the titular gift card include a provision that the owner of the card and the friend who purchased it for them will "expire" along with the card's expiration date. Subverted when Marco's reaction to learning this makes it clear in no uncertain terms what that means:
--->'''Marco''': Wha-ha-hat?! Like, we DIE?!
*** Marco saying that he almost got killed the last time he went to Quest Buy, which is why he didn't want to use the card.
** When a "songstrel" comes to write Star's Princess Song, she skips out of the house for hours. While he waits, he sings a song to pass the time:
--->'''Ruberiot''': ''Where is Princess Star?\\
Has she traveled far?\\
I am very musically skilled\\
But if I don't write this, I'll surely be kil—'' HEY!
** Completely averted in the "Battle for Mewni" special, to the point that it seems Disney just doesn't care anymore about censoring any word related to "death". Examples go from [[spoiler:Moon confessing to Star that Toffee killed her mother, Star saying "let's go kill him" about Toffee, Katrina commenting that Star's lack of planning will get her killed, Star fearing that she has died after getting trapped in the wand's corrupted magic, to Ludo finishing off Toffee and mockingly telling him that he "turned out to be dead".]]
* NoOSHACompliance:
** The "Bounce Lounge" has no railings, yet is situated directly over a ''lot'' of spikes.
** Quest Buy is poorly managed by sloth workers, people tend to get lost and go insane trying to navigate in the store, and it has working death traps on its booby trap department. However, they ''do'' apparently have worker's comp.
* NoodleIncident: There are several incidents that are mentioned but never elaborated on:
** Marco wore a helmet in the gym shower at one point.
** It's implied that Ludo and Star fought each other before the series started, and they've certainly met previously.
** Star briefly mentions that Pony Head has gotten "[[GreenEyedMonster possessive]]" before.
** Star's demonic ex-boyfriend has tried to get back with her more than once.
* NothingIsTheSameAnymore:
* NowWhichOneWasThatVoice: Many voice actors for minor characters are often credited under "additional voices", meaning you need good ears to guess who's voicing who. This even applies to some major characters at times.
* NumberOfTheBeast: Joked about in "Blood Moon Ball" but not mentioned directly; Tom states that the ball takes place every 66'''7''' years, with Rider Strong's delivery of the line drawing attention toward the subversion. The same joke comes up again in "Running With Scissors", as [[spoiler:Marco's dragon-bike]] has a collar with the tag "667" on it.
* OddNameOut: Ludo's family all end their names with "-do", except for Dennis.
* OdeToFood: In "Lint Catcher", Star sings to a burrito. She swears not to let go of it, until she throws it on Marco when he accidentally startles her. Moments later, Tom comes out of the toilet, doing the exact same thing.
* OneSteveLimit:
** Averted with the student Justin Armberg and the singer Justin Tower.
** There are two people named "Larry" in the show: Hungry Larry (a BedsheetGhost) and Larry Kelpbottom (prince of the FishPeople).
** Downplayed in regards to "Thomas", which is Tom's full first name and Jackie's surname.
* OnlyTheLeadsGetAHappyEnding: [[spoiler:As Earth and Mewni are merged in the SeriesFinale, Star and Marco get to stay together and live happily ever after... while Echo Creek's residents run screaming from Mewni's more hostile wildlife which now runs rampant, and the destruction of magic means characters not from either world (e.g. Kelly) are stuck in their own dimensions forever, while anyone that needed magic to stay alive is now dead.]]
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Star is sent to Earth in order to be this. Marco actually ''is'' one, but wishes his life was more exciting. He gets his wish and then some when Star shows up.
* OurMonstersAreWeird: Ludo and his goons get pretty ridiculous:
-->'''Ludo''': You mean you've never met Man Arm?\\
'''Man Arm''': *extends a tiny human arm from monstrous alligator body* Hey.
* OutOfFocus:
** Starting in Season 3, Marco doesn't feature in many of the episodes. Even a few episodes focus on Queen Moon with almost no involvement of Star.
** Star is absent or relegated to a minor role for much of Season 4, as the focus is more on other characters such as Marco, Kelly, Ludo, and also on the repercussions of [[spoiler:Eclipsa being made queen]].
* PhotoBoothMontage:
** Star, Marco, and Pony Head go into a photo booth because Star wants them to be friends. As soon as Star leaves, Pony Head threatens Marco [[MoodDissonance while still taking friendly pictures]].
** "Booth Buddies" is primarily centered around Star wanting to do one with Marco, but never being happy with the end result. They take so many photos, the picture strips jam the slot. The final strip ends with Star and Marco [[spoiler:kissing]].
* PlaceWorseThanDeath: [[BoardingSchoolOfHorrors St. Olga's Reform School for Wayward Princesses]], initially.
* PlotTumor:
** Glossaryck is introduced in Season 1 as a quirky little man who lives in Star's spellbook, making only a few appearances. In Season 2, he becomes more prominent as a mentor character, teaching Star [[spoiler:and later Ludo]] magic. By the final season, he's set up as ''the'' PhysicalGod of the setting and responsible for much of Mewni's history both directly and indirectly.
** Season 1's "Mewnipendence Day" was the first episode to establish the idea that monsters weren't necessarily evil, but forced into a bad situation because of the first Mewmans. By Seasons 3 and 4, this becomes the central focus of the show, with antagonistic monsters becoming scarce and multiple plot threads and characters (Eclipsa, Miss Heinous, Mina Loveberry) tying back to it one way or another.
* PoliceAreUseless: Pretty much any time Marco or Star call the police, they get told there's nothing they can do, and sometimes get mocked as well. Granted, they're not equipped to deal with, or sometimes even understand, the kind of trouble that Star gets into.
* PowerIncontinence: Star's wand is most dangerous when she tries to use it for non-combat related purposes.
* ThePowerOfCreation: Seems to be the main power of Star's wand, since she can make small creatures appear from nowhere and turn a butterfly into a monster. The problem stems from the fact that Star has trouble getting the incantations right to make what she wishes, which, therefore, doesn't always come out right.
* PragmaticAdaptation:
** Daron Nefcy's original conception of Star, who she had been drawing in comics for years, was that she was a deranged but otherwise ordinary girl who only ''believed'' she was a magical fairy princess. This concept was ultimately ditched for the series.
** [[Characters/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil Pony Head]] originally had entrails spilling from her neck instead of glitter.
* PrejudiceAesop: This is a major underlaying theme within the series. At first we're lead to believe the evil forces were monsters from Star's homeland, Mewni, trying to seize power for themselves. But as the series goes on, we start to see plotlines that showcase the monsters aren't as bad as Star was lead to think, some even just want better living conditions for their families due to actually being ''oppressed'' by the current regime. [[spoiler:The prejudice was so bad, that, during Eclipsa's rule, she fell in love with a monster and birthed a daughter, a half-breed. The Butterfly monarchy absolutely rejected the notion of having a partial monster for a ruler and went so far as to secretly switched her out for a normal Mewnian.]] Season 3 goes into this much more as the series moves into the other realms and we explore more of Mewni. Season 4 takes it full throttle and showcases how prejudice can have devastating consequences if left unchecked.
* PrincessesPreferPink: When Star disguises Marco as a princess he ends up getting the classic Princess Pink. He isn't amused when Star says pink is his color. He later seems to have changed his mind when he asks to keep the dress, albeit immediately after he [[spoiler:received forced princess brainwashing]].
* PromotionToOpeningTitles: Inverted. The final shot of the Season 3 intro removed the multitude of characters that appeared in the previous seasons' intros (albeit only in minor cameos for the most part), leaving only Janna, Star, Marco, Pony Head, Kelly and Tom.
* PsychoactivePowers: [[spoiler:"Wand to Wand" shows that both Star and Ludo's wands operate this way; Ludo's wand needs [[ThePowerOfHate anger]] to charge it, while Star's spells won't work right if she's feeling angry or frustrated. It takes [[ThePowerOfFriendship seeing Marco in danger]] for Star to get her wand working correctly.]]
* PuttingOnTheReich: The guards of St. Olga's are designed in such a manner.
* PyrrhicVillainy: [[spoiler:Toffee spends all of Season 2 manipulating Ludo from inside his wand and causing the Fritz, all so that he can reclaim the finger Moon took from him. He gets it back at the end of "Battle for Mewni"... only for Star to manage to fix the wand from his corruption, enter a SuperMode, and all but vaporize him, and when ''that'' doesn't kill him, ''Ludo'' appears to do the job by dropping a pillar on him.]]

* RaiseHerRightThisTime: In "Conquer", after [[spoiler:Eclipsa defeats Meteora, the latter is turned into a baby]].
* RealityEnsues:
** In "Star vs. Echo Creek", while Star finds out that the officers were already going to decommission the police car that she demolished, she's still sentenced to community service for fleeing the scene of an accident.
** At the end of "Stranger Danger", Star finally convinces the Magical High Commission to give [[spoiler:Queen Eclipsa]] a fair trial. Star expects the trial to start immediately. Moon then reminds everyone that it's going to take quite a while to actually set it up. Indeed, [[spoiler:Eclipsa's]] trial doesn't occur until a little more than halfway through the season, with [[spoiler:Eclipsa]] under house arrest at the castle in the meantime.
** [[spoiler:Meteora has been BrainwashedAndCrazy her whole life to be Miss Heinous. In most series, the brainwashing being broken would turn her back into a sweet innocent person. Instead, she becomes even ''more'' dangerous due to her being a complete emotional and psychological mess.]]
** At the end of "Pizza Thing," we are treated to a GoodTimesMontage of Marco and Pony Head making a pizza together. When we see Star eating the finished product a minute later, it looks like crap, and she says it tastes terrible. This is unsurprising when you consider neither of them had ever made a pizza before. Pony Head had never even heard of pizza.
** When Star leaves Marco's life by Marco returning to Earth. He has trouble empathizing with others and feels limited and restricted by his home dimension. [[spoiler:This also causes Jackie to break up with him because she can't put herself between Star and Marco's friendship and he can't stop thinking about his adventures.]]
** When Marco decides to return to Mewni unannounced, nobody in the kingdom knows what to do with him and Star is upset with his sudden return since she wants to move on from him.
** When Star and Tom become a couple, Wrathmelior doesn't trust or approve of the relationship. She believes Star is toying with her son's emotions or the relationship is doomed to repeat itself. [[spoiler:When she discovers that Star kissed Marco, she believes Star is disloyal and will inevitably betray Tom and break his heart.]]
** Solaria was the worst of the Butterfly family and would have succeeded in committing monster genocide if she wasn't killed in a monster ambush. Does the war end there or at least deescalate? ''NO''. The mewmans and monsters have been at war for too long and it won't stop with Solaria's death. When Comet tried to create a long-term peace accord between the mewmans and monsters a century later, Toffee took the opportunity to kill comet to establish himself as a freedom fighter for the monsters to finally end the race war in their favour.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Star gives an absolutely brutal one to [[spoiler: Moon]] in The Tavern at the End of the Multiverse:
-->'''Star''': What is there to talk about exactly?! We can't go back to Mewni because we'll die from a situation you caused! So just star ''far'' away from me! Or better yet, stand over there! (pointing at the void of non-existance) Where you don't exist!
* TheRemnant: Queen Solaria's army was enchanted with a spell to make them stronger in order to fulfill her goal to destroy all monsters. However, this enchantment also suppressed any fear, foresight or conscience, which led to these super soldiers recklessly throwing themselves into deadly situations. [[spoiler:Mina]] is the last surviving member of the Solarian army, and she's determined to complete their mission.
* {{Retool}}: Season 3 ditches the school setting and shifts the action from Earth to Mewni.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Lots of them. Just watch the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJKqtEa6DU8 initial ending theme]].
* RunningGag:
** Whenever [[BoardingSchoolOfHorrors St. Olga's Reform School for Wayward Princesses]] is brought up, it's always followed by lightning, said character who doesn't want to be sent there screaming, and a shot of them being "sucked" into said school with the gate closing behind them.
** Star accidentally giving Marco a makeover.
** Flying creatures spawned by Star swooping down and taking people.
** People, or a puppy, being sucked into black holes.
** A few episodes have their own gag which often is revealed to be a ChekhovsGun or ChekhovsSkill, such as [[spoiler:Marco's disgust of wet socks]].
** Marco having $650 on him for no apparent reason and using it to pay some unexpected charge. [[spoiler:Early in the series, he claims it's his emergency cash stash, which would make sense for him to restore it back to the original amount when he has the use it. It also turns out that $650 is the exact amount that he makes in monthly royalties from Princess Marco merchandise.]]
** Janna knowing all of Marco's secrets and stealing stuff from him.
* TheScapegoat: {{Implied|Trope}}. [[spoiler:In the end of the series, Star deems magic as evil and the cause of all the problems in the series. She states that using magic to solve problems only causes more problems, and the ones using it are all idiots who don't deserve the power they have, her own family included. It's better to not have it than let it be abused by the corrupt and stupid anymore. However, even though it's true that abuse of magic is one of the cause of problems, it's not the main cause. Rather, it was the racism between the Mewmans and Monsters and battle over the lands. It's implied that Star is just ignoring the complexity of the situation because she wants a quick solution to stop Mina, so she decides to destroy magic]].
* SchizoTech: Mewni has electronic vending machines but no light bulbs, water fountains, or bicycles.
* SecretRoom: There are a number of secret passageways and rooms in Butterfly Castle. While Star and Moon are aware of some of them, only Eclipsa knows all of them.
* SelfFulfillingProphecy: [[spoiler:The Magical High Commission discards Meteora and replaces her with Festivia because of the ''potential'' danger of a half-monster getting access to magic. That said, Meteora only becomes a serious threat because of the Commission's actions in the first place and it's unknown how dangerous she would've become had she been raised normally.]]
* ShipTease: [[ShipTease/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil Has its own page]].
* ShockinglyExpensiveBill: Star receives a bill from Reflectacorp regarding the equipment she destroyed in "''he Pony Head Show'', worth a thousand pounds of gold.
* SickeninglySweethearts: The Diazes are seen portrayed as an extremely lovey-dovey couple. In ''Star and Marco's Guide to Mastering Every Dimension'', Star says that they can be usually be found cuddling on the couch. In the "#[=MarcoLIVE=] Animated Live Chat", Marco said in response to a fan, his parents were high school sweethearts and loved each other for a long time. These episodes show how the Diazes are lovey dovey:
** "Diaz Family Vacation": Rafael and Angie give each other bedroom eyes on the couch and Angie plays with Rafael's chest hair. In the Forest of Certain Death, Rafael comments on his wife's beauty. And while they were in the hot spring, they make kissy faces to each other.
** "Raid the Cave": As Star uses the All-Seeing Eye to find Glossaryck, Star has spotted them by surprise as they pop their legs up and they lean in to kiss.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Star and Jackie developed feelings for Marco because of his kindness. Star was attracted to bad boys and Jackie had interest in a boy from skate camp.
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Sabrina the cheerleader ends up in the hospital a couple times.
* SlidingScaleOfContinuity: The series started out as Level 3, with the only things in Season 1 carrying over into later episodes being; Star getting interdimensional scissors, Ms. Skullnick turning into a troll, and Toffee joining Ludo's army. From the Season 1 finale onward, the series jumped to Level 4, with several plot threads opened in Season 1 continuing into Seasons 2 and 3.
%% * SlidingScaleOfIdealismVsCynicism: Heavily idealistic.
* SlidingScaleOfSillinessVersusSeriousness: Was originally in the silly side, but as of the first half-hour episode, the series began going back and forth, with dramatic and lore-heavy episodes being mixed in with random misadventures.
* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: [[spoiler:In "Escape from the Pie Folk", Star starts to sing a song her mom always sang, and Moon, who seems to have lost her memory, recognizes it.]]
* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: Ludo was usurped by the far more competent and dangerous Toffee, but seemingly managed to come back more dangerous than him thanks to a wand of his own [[spoiler:only for him to be Toffee's pawn the entire time and Toffee to reveal himself and prove way more dangerous with the Wand than Ludo was]]. After his defeat, there's no real BigBad for awhile until [[spoiler:Meteora]] is revealed [[spoiler:and shows herself to be even more powerful and dangerous than even Toffee]].
* SpoilerOpening: At the end of the title sequence, Ms. Skullnick appears as a troll.
* StalkingIsFunnyIfItIsFemaleAfterMale: Janna stalks, spies on, steals from, blackmails, invades the privacy, teases and flirts with Marco in nearly every episode she appears. His horror and discomfort is always played for laughs.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: The principal, for no reason, informs everyone at a pep rally that the head cheerleader did ''not'' get that position because her father donated a bunch of money to the school.
* TakeThat:
-->'''Rafael Diaz''': For how much money these doctors charge you would think they'd be much better at their jobs.
* TeensAreShort: Sort of. Star and Marco are both 14, and while most of the adults are taller, quite a few are around the same size or slightly shorter than them.[[note]]It's also made pretty obvious that Star and Marco both nowhere near done growing. One episode shows a FutureBadass 30-year-old Marco who's quite tall, and Star being a virtual PaletteSwap of her mother as a teenager will also almost certainly get a good deal taller over the next few years.[[/note]] This is subverted with a few of the background characters at their school, who are teenagers and very tall.
* TigerVersusDragon:
** Marco and Jeremy have this antagonistic relationship. Marco is the dragon because he is the most rational, patient and logical to win fights. Jeremy is the tiger because he fights because of his ego and SpoiledBrat behavior which results in him being an aggressive fighter.
** When Star and Marco argue then they represent this. Alternatively, they represent this when fighting enemies. Star is the tiger because her magic is affected by her emotions and she tends to allow her emotions to affect her decisions. Examples include refusing to help an enemy because she believed that monsters were naturally evil and irredeemable, angrily believed that Marco saw her as helpless and in need of rescue from Tom despite Marco being ProperlyParanoid and finally [[spoiler:she tried to bury her feelings for Marco because she feared that she would ruin their friendship or ruin his relationship with Jackie]]. Marco is the dragon because he is the most rational and logical when making decisions but it has gotten him in trouble due to other dimensions having different laws and traditions. This is best shown in two episodes, when Star and Marco tried to save the bounce lounge Marco tried to tell her that she should accept the change to preserve her nostalgia however Star refused to listen and valiantly tried to save it. This is also shown when Marco and Star became babysitters for Buff Frog's children, Star disregarded the rules so that the children can have fun but Marco insisted that they follow Buff Frog's instructions. This dichotomy is primarily shown when the pair fight enemies as Marco uses his martial arts to win whereas Star uses devastating magical attacks to quickly win fights.
* TransformationSequence: The Battle For Mewni Episode 7 [[spoiler:Star has a sequence before turning into a yellow butterfly with six arms (similar to her mother's magical form) and vanquishing Toffee. This drains Star but saves everyone.]]
* UnrequitedLoveSwitcheroo: [[spoiler:Marco and Star, Star have been harboring a crush since mid-Season 2 finally getting over it after the Battle for Mewni to which Marco starts being attracted towards her, but the implications of such are not on lost on her]].
* UnusualEuphemism: Star sometimes uses the phrase "Pegasus feathers".
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: It's pretty rare for anyone in the series to react to the display of magic, particularly not Star's extremely liberal usage of it. Only the school principal in the first episode displays any skepticism, and it gets dropped as soon as Star's father gives him a box of gold. Marco's parents have no reaction to the strange girl who summons puppies that shoot lasers from their eyes and adds an entire wing/tower onto their house. A guy who trails fire, has three eyes and arrives in front of the school in a carriage drawn by a skeleton horse draws no further comment from anyone other than a few girls remarking on [[{{Pun}} how hot]] he is. And Oskar complaining that the demon [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking parked his carriage in the handicapped space]].
* TheUpperCrass: The Johansen family that Star's father River was born into is a group of small nobles who live out in the wilderness, engage in savage capture-the-flag games, and apologize to people by handing out hunks of meat with "I'm sorry" engraved in them.

* VersusTitle: ''Star vs. the Forces of Evil''.
* VolcanicVeins: [[spoiler:Eclipsa has dark ones running up her arm, and Moon gets them as well after her DealWithTheDevil with her]].
* VomitDiscretionShot: During "Brittney's Party", Marco has been constantly holding back his sick. Once the bus crashes, Marco and Ludo take turns throwing up into a garbage can.
* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld: Kind of.
* WeSellEverything: Quest Buy stocks pretty much every item any trans-dimensional citizen could ever want. Good luck finding exactly what it is you're looking for, though.
* WhamLine:
** Season one's "Storm the Castle" even lampshades the nature of Toffee's statement.
---> '''[[KnightOfCerebus Toffee]]''': Do you think I'm like [[HarmlessVillain Ludo]]? I don't want your wand... ''destroy it''.\\
'''Star and Marco''': [[BigWhat WHAAAAAAAT]]?\\
'''Toffee''': SURPRISE!
** From the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqG4sCjqH54 Battle for Mewni trailer]]:
---> '''Moon''': [[spoiler:Eclipsa's alive... and I made a deal with her.]]
** In "Return to Mewni", when Moon objects to Star leaving the sanctuary to fight Toffee:
--->'''Moon''': Star, Stop!\\
'''Star''': ''Why?'' What happened to cool, warrior queen mom?\\
'''Moon''': I was never a cool, warrior queen Star. (tearing up) I was a happy-go-lucky girl like you and then [[spoiler:Toffee and his monsters killed my mother.]]
** Ever since Glossaryck came BackFromTheDead in "Rest in Pudding", he could only say one word; "Globgor". In the Season 3 finale "Conquer", we finally find out what it means:
--->[[spoiler:'''Glossaryck''': Eclipsa's Monster Love, Globgor! She's going off to be with him. I've been trying to tell you for ''months!'']]
** When Marco catches up with Star in "The Right Thing", he warns her that Mina is coming. Star tells them about how they just defeated Mina, referring to the destroyed armor above them:
---> '''Marco''': [[spoiler:Uh... That's not Mina.]]
** "Here to Help":
*** When Marco and Star are herding the piggoats.
---->'''Star''': [[spoiler:You know, I'm glad we're alone, together, because there's something I wanted to talk to you about. [[LoveConfession I remember what you said to me in the magic.]]]]
*** [[spoiler:We find out who is really behind the Solarian soldiers]].
---->[[spoiler:'''Star''': What do you mean “intended”? Are you... are you working for Mina?\\
'''Moon''': No. ''[[TheManBehindTheMan Mina’s working for me]]''.]]
** From "The Tavern at the End of the Multiverse":
--->'''Star''': [[spoiler:[[DoesNotLikeMagic I hate magic.]]]]
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse:
** Although the series has a strong sense of continuity, there are a few elements that are seemingly neglected. Marco's magic Dust Buster, for instance, is never brought up after Star found her replacement charger.
** Lobster Claws, one of Ludo's minions, only appeared in two episodes (and was the [[ADayInTheLimelight focus]] of the second) before vanishing from the series completely.
** The bulk of Ludo's minions are unaccounted for after "Storm the Castle", with only Buff Frog and Boo Fly showing up in Season 2.
** Alfonso and Ferguson for the bulk of Season 2. This is later lampshaded when Star addresses them by name, but only their arms waving over a crowd could be seen.
** Marco's Monster Arm is seeded in Season 1 as something that will return later, but never appears after it's debut episode save for a FreezeFrameBonus in "Storm the Castle".
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: PlayedForLaughs in "Page Turner". At the end, Star has read the forbidden chapter of her spellbook and [[spoiler:decided it's not for her. ''Marco'', however]], has gone insane with power:
-->'''Glossaryck''': [[ResetButton Luckily, there's a spell to fix that]].
* WomenAreWiser:
** Subverted with the main couple: Star is a GenkiGirl to Marco's StraightMan.
** Played straight with the Royal Couple: Queen Moon is TheStoic while King River is a BoisterousBruiser.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: "Mewnipendence Day" reveals that the [[spoiler:founders of Mewni invaded the monsters' home and slaughtered them. This makes you see Ludo and his minions as well as the citizens of Mewni in a whole new light.]]
* WrittenByTheWinners:
** If the implications in "Mewnipendance Day" are correct, the current inhabitants of Mewni are descended from colonists who [[spoiler:forcibly removed the comparatively weaker original inhabitants from the land in a "massacre" using the wand that would later become Star's, then claimed it was a self-defense fight in their history books. That these original inhabitants were monsters may be why the monsters of current day are so eager to get Star's wand.]]
** As Season 3 progresses, many facts come to light which suggest that [[spoiler:Queen Eclipsa, despite dealing in dark magic, may not be the cut-and-dry villain that she's been made out to be]].
* YouAllLookFamiliar: Quest Buy is staffed entirely by anthropomorphic sloths with identical voices.
[[/folder]]
** In "Match Maker", an incredibly destructive spell Star casts incapacitates Ludo's monster army, and while she's gloating over her victory to Ludo, she briefly worries that she just killed one of his monsters. Ludo insists that the guy she thinks she might've killed is "just bleeding internally and being a total baby about it!"
** In "The Other Exchange Student", Star assumes that fellow exchange student Gustav actually plans to eat the Diaz family. After strapping herself to the hood of the car, she tries in vain to warn them, "YOU'RE ALL GOING TO DIIEEE!"
** Brittney Wong tells Ludo, "I hope you destroy her," when he ambushes Star after she crashed Brittney's birthday party and overshadowed her.
** Toffee mentions that the "Mewnipendence Day" holiday celebrated by Mewmans is better known to the monsters as the "Great Monster Massacre", and the context of the holiday makes it clear that it was indeed a literal massacre.
** The first question of the Truth or Punishment game played at Star's sleepover is the surprisingly mundane and unimpressive "What is your favorite color?" Pony Head figures that subsequent questions will be much heavier, like "have you ever killed a man?" [[BlackComedyBurst Pony Head then dismisses that as actually being a really easy question for her too.]]
** "Gift of the Card":
*** Miss Heinous tells Rasticore at the beginning of the episode to destroy Star.
*** The terms of the titular gift card include a provision that the owner of the card and the friend who purchased it for them will "expire" along with the card's expiration date. Subverted when Marco's reaction to learning this makes it clear in no uncertain terms what that means:
--->'''Marco''': Wha-ha-hat?! Like, we DIE?!
*** Marco saying that he almost got killed the last time he went to Quest Buy, which is why he didn't want to use the card.
** When a "songstrel" comes to write Star's Princess Song, she skips out of the house for hours. While he waits, he sings a song to pass the time:
--->'''Ruberiot''': ''Where is Princess Star?\\
Has she traveled far?\\
I am very musically skilled\\
But if I don't write this, I'll surely be kil—'' HEY!
** Completely averted in the "Battle for Mewni" special, to the point that it seems Disney just doesn't care anymore about censoring any word related to "death". Examples go from [[spoiler:Moon confessing to Star that Toffee killed her mother, Star saying "let's go kill him" about Toffee, Katrina commenting that Star's lack of planning will get her killed, Star fearing that she has died after getting trapped in the wand's corrupted magic, to Ludo finishing off Toffee and mockingly telling him that he "turned out to be dead".]]
* NoOSHACompliance:
** The "Bounce Lounge" has no railings, yet is situated directly over a ''lot'' of spikes.
** Quest Buy is poorly managed by sloth workers, people tend to get lost and go insane trying to navigate in the store, and it has working death traps on its booby trap department. However, they ''do'' apparently have worker's comp.
* NoodleIncident: There are several incidents that are mentioned but never elaborated on:
** Marco wore a helmet in the gym shower at one point.
** It's implied that Ludo and Star fought each other before the series started, and they've certainly met previously.
** Star briefly mentions that Pony Head has gotten "[[GreenEyedMonster possessive]]" before.
** Star's demonic ex-boyfriend has tried to get back with her more than once.
* NothingIsTheSameAnymore:
* NowWhichOneWasThatVoice: Many voice actors for minor characters are often credited under "additional voices", meaning you need good ears to guess who's voicing who. This even applies to some major characters at times.
* NumberOfTheBeast: Joked about in "Blood Moon Ball" but not mentioned directly; Tom states that the ball takes place every 66'''7''' years, with Rider Strong's delivery of the line drawing attention toward the subversion. The same joke comes up again in "Running With Scissors", as [[spoiler:Marco's dragon-bike]] has a collar with the tag "667" on it.
* OddNameOut: Ludo's family all end their names with "-do", except for Dennis.
* OdeToFood: In "Lint Catcher", Star sings to a burrito. She swears not to let go of it, until she throws it on Marco when he accidentally startles her. Moments later, Tom comes out of the toilet, doing the exact same thing.
* OneSteveLimit:
** Averted with the student Justin Armberg and the singer Justin Tower.
** There are two people named "Larry" in the show: Hungry Larry (a BedsheetGhost) and Larry Kelpbottom (prince of the FishPeople).
** Downplayed in regards to "Thomas", which is Tom's full first name and Jackie's surname.
* OnlyTheLeadsGetAHappyEnding: [[spoiler:As Earth and Mewni are merged in the SeriesFinale, Star and Marco get to stay together and live happily ever after... while Echo Creek's residents run screaming from Mewni's more hostile wildlife which now runs rampant, and the destruction of magic means characters not from either world (e.g. Kelly) are stuck in their own dimensions forever, while anyone that needed magic to stay alive is now dead.]]
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Star is sent to Earth in order to be this. Marco actually ''is'' one, but wishes his life was more exciting. He gets his wish and then some when Star shows up.
* OurMonstersAreWeird: Ludo and his goons get pretty ridiculous:
-->'''Ludo''': You mean you've never met Man Arm?\\
'''Man Arm''': *extends a tiny human arm from monstrous alligator body* Hey.
* OutOfFocus:
** Starting in Season 3, Marco doesn't feature in many of the episodes. Even a few episodes focus on Queen Moon with almost no involvement of Star.
** Star is absent or relegated to a minor role for much of Season 4, as the focus is more on other characters such as Marco, Kelly, Ludo, and also on the repercussions of [[spoiler:Eclipsa being made queen]].
* PhotoBoothMontage:
** Star, Marco, and Pony Head go into a photo booth because Star wants them to be friends. As soon as Star leaves, Pony Head threatens Marco [[MoodDissonance while still taking friendly pictures]].
** "Booth Buddies" is primarily centered around Star wanting to do one with Marco, but never being happy with the end result. They take so many photos, the picture strips jam the slot. The final strip ends with Star and Marco [[spoiler:kissing]].
* PlaceWorseThanDeath: [[BoardingSchoolOfHorrors St. Olga's Reform School for Wayward Princesses]], initially.
* PlotTumor:
** Glossaryck is introduced in Season 1 as a quirky little man who lives in Star's spellbook, making only a few appearances. In Season 2, he becomes more prominent as a mentor character, teaching Star [[spoiler:and later Ludo]] magic. By the final season, he's set up as ''the'' PhysicalGod of the setting and responsible for much of Mewni's history both directly and indirectly.
** Season 1's "Mewnipendence Day" was the first episode to establish the idea that monsters weren't necessarily evil, but forced into a bad situation because of the first Mewmans. By Seasons 3 and 4, this becomes the central focus of the show, with antagonistic monsters becoming scarce and multiple plot threads and characters (Eclipsa, Miss Heinous, Mina Loveberry) tying back to it one way or another.
* PoliceAreUseless: Pretty much any time Marco or Star call the police, they get told there's nothing they can do, and sometimes get mocked as well. Granted, they're not equipped to deal with, or sometimes even understand, the kind of trouble that Star gets into.
* PowerIncontinence: Star's wand is most dangerous when she tries to use it for non-combat related purposes.
* ThePowerOfCreation: Seems to be the main power of Star's wand, since she can make small creatures appear from nowhere and turn a butterfly into a monster. The problem stems from the fact that Star has trouble getting the incantations right to make what she wishes, which, therefore, doesn't always come out right.
* PragmaticAdaptation:
** Daron Nefcy's original conception of Star, who she had been drawing in comics for years, was that she was a deranged but otherwise ordinary girl who only ''believed'' she was a magical fairy princess. This concept was ultimately ditched for the series.
** [[Characters/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil Pony Head]] originally had entrails spilling from her neck instead of glitter.
* PrejudiceAesop: This is a major underlaying theme within the series. At first we're lead to believe the evil forces were monsters from Star's homeland, Mewni, trying to seize power for themselves. But as the series goes on, we start to see plotlines that showcase the monsters aren't as bad as Star was lead to think, some even just want better living conditions for their families due to actually being ''oppressed'' by the current regime. [[spoiler:The prejudice was so bad, that, during Eclipsa's rule, she fell in love with a monster and birthed a daughter, a half-breed. The Butterfly monarchy absolutely rejected the notion of having a partial monster for a ruler and went so far as to secretly switched her out for a normal Mewnian.]] Season 3 goes into this much more as the series moves into the other realms and we explore more of Mewni. Season 4 takes it full throttle and showcases how prejudice can have devastating consequences if left unchecked.
* PrincessesPreferPink: When Star disguises Marco as a princess he ends up getting the classic Princess Pink. He isn't amused when Star says pink is his color. He later seems to have changed his mind when he asks to keep the dress, albeit immediately after he [[spoiler:received forced princess brainwashing]].
* PromotionToOpeningTitles: Inverted. The final shot of the Season 3 intro removed the multitude of characters that appeared in the previous seasons' intros (albeit only in minor cameos for the most part), leaving only Janna, Star, Marco, Pony Head, Kelly and Tom.
* PsychoactivePowers: [[spoiler:"Wand to Wand" shows that both Star and Ludo's wands operate this way; Ludo's wand needs [[ThePowerOfHate anger]] to charge it, while Star's spells won't work right if she's feeling angry or frustrated. It takes [[ThePowerOfFriendship seeing Marco in danger]] for Star to get her wand working correctly.]]
* PuttingOnTheReich: The guards of St. Olga's are designed in such a manner.
* PyrrhicVillainy: [[spoiler:Toffee spends all of Season 2 manipulating Ludo from inside his wand and causing the Fritz, all so that he can reclaim the finger Moon took from him. He gets it back at the end of "Battle for Mewni"... only for Star to manage to fix the wand from his corruption, enter a SuperMode, and all but vaporize him, and when ''that'' doesn't kill him, ''Ludo'' appears to do the job by dropping a pillar on him.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:R-U]]
* RaiseHerRightThisTime: In "Conquer", after [[spoiler:Eclipsa defeats Meteora, the latter is turned into a baby]].
* RealityEnsues:
** In "Star vs. Echo Creek", while Star finds out that the officers were already going to decommission the police car that she demolished, she's still sentenced to community service for fleeing the scene of an accident.
** At the end of "Stranger Danger", Star finally convinces the Magical High Commission to give [[spoiler:Queen Eclipsa]] a fair trial. Star expects the trial to start immediately. Moon then reminds everyone that it's going to take quite a while to actually set it up. Indeed, [[spoiler:Eclipsa's]] trial doesn't occur until a little more than halfway through the season, with [[spoiler:Eclipsa]] under house arrest at the castle in the meantime.
** [[spoiler:Meteora has been BrainwashedAndCrazy her whole life to be Miss Heinous. In most series, the brainwashing being broken would turn her back into a sweet innocent person. Instead, she becomes even ''more'' dangerous due to her being a complete emotional and psychological mess.]]
** At the end of "Pizza Thing," we are treated to a GoodTimesMontage of Marco and Pony Head making a pizza together. When we see Star eating the finished product a minute later, it looks like crap, and she says it tastes terrible. This is unsurprising when you consider neither of them had ever made a pizza before. Pony Head had never even heard of pizza.
** When Star leaves Marco's life by Marco returning to Earth. He has trouble empathizing with others and feels limited and restricted by his home dimension. [[spoiler:This also causes Jackie to break up with him because she can't put herself between Star and Marco's friendship and he can't stop thinking about his adventures.]]
** When Marco decides to return to Mewni unannounced, nobody in the kingdom knows what to do with him and Star is upset with his sudden return since she wants to move on from him.
** When Star and Tom become a couple, Wrathmelior doesn't trust or approve of the relationship. She believes Star is toying with her son's emotions or the relationship is doomed to repeat itself. [[spoiler:When she discovers that Star kissed Marco, she believes Star is disloyal and will inevitably betray Tom and break his heart.]]
** Solaria was the worst of the Butterfly family and would have succeeded in committing monster genocide if she wasn't killed in a monster ambush. Does the war end there or at least deescalate? ''NO''. The mewmans and monsters have been at war for too long and it won't stop with Solaria's death. When Comet tried to create a long-term peace accord between the mewmans and monsters a century later, Toffee took the opportunity to kill comet to establish himself as a freedom fighter for the monsters to finally end the race war in their favour.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Star gives an absolutely brutal one to [[spoiler: Moon]] in The Tavern at the End of the Multiverse:
-->'''Star''': What is there to talk about exactly?! We can't go back to Mewni because we'll die from a situation you caused! So just star ''far'' away from me! Or better yet, stand over there! (pointing at the void of non-existance) Where you don't exist!
* TheRemnant: Queen Solaria's army was enchanted with a spell to make them stronger in order to fulfill her goal to destroy all monsters. However, this enchantment also suppressed any fear, foresight or conscience, which led to these super soldiers recklessly throwing themselves into deadly situations. [[spoiler:Mina]] is the last surviving member of the Solarian army, and she's determined to complete their mission.
* {{Retool}}: Season 3 ditches the school setting and shifts the action from Earth to Mewni.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Lots of them. Just watch the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJKqtEa6DU8 initial ending theme]].
* RunningGag:
** Whenever [[BoardingSchoolOfHorrors St. Olga's Reform School for Wayward Princesses]] is brought up, it's always followed by lightning, said character who doesn't want to be sent there screaming, and a shot of them being "sucked" into said school with the gate closing behind them.
** Star accidentally giving Marco a makeover.
** Flying creatures spawned by Star swooping down and taking people.
** People, or a puppy, being sucked into black holes.
** A few episodes have their own gag which often is revealed to be a ChekhovsGun or ChekhovsSkill, such as [[spoiler:Marco's disgust of wet socks]].
** Marco having $650 on him for no apparent reason and using it to pay some unexpected charge. [[spoiler:Early in the series, he claims it's his emergency cash stash, which would make sense for him to restore it back to the original amount when he has the use it. It also turns out that $650 is the exact amount that he makes in monthly royalties from Princess Marco merchandise.]]
** Janna knowing all of Marco's secrets and stealing stuff from him.
* TheScapegoat: {{Implied|Trope}}. [[spoiler:In the end of the series, Star deems magic as evil and the cause of all the problems in the series. She states that using magic to solve problems only causes more problems, and the ones using it are all idiots who don't deserve the power they have, her own family included. It's better to not have it than let it be abused by the corrupt and stupid anymore. However, even though it's true that abuse of magic is one of the cause of problems, it's not the main cause. Rather, it was the racism between the Mewmans and Monsters and battle over the lands. It's implied that Star is just ignoring the complexity of the situation because she wants a quick solution to stop Mina, so she decides to destroy magic]].
* SchizoTech: Mewni has electronic vending machines but no light bulbs, water fountains, or bicycles.
* SecretRoom: There are a number of secret passageways and rooms in Butterfly Castle. While Star and Moon are aware of some of them, only Eclipsa knows all of them.
* SelfFulfillingProphecy: [[spoiler:The Magical High Commission discards Meteora and replaces her with Festivia because of the ''potential'' danger of a half-monster getting access to magic. That said, Meteora only becomes a serious threat because of the Commission's actions in the first place and it's unknown how dangerous she would've become had she been raised normally.]]
* ShipTease: [[ShipTease/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil Has its own page]].
* ShockinglyExpensiveBill: Star receives a bill from Reflectacorp regarding the equipment she destroyed in "''he Pony Head Show'', worth a thousand pounds of gold.
* SickeninglySweethearts: The Diazes are seen portrayed as an extremely lovey-dovey couple. In ''Star and Marco's Guide to Mastering Every Dimension'', Star says that they can be usually be found cuddling on the couch. In the "#[=MarcoLIVE=] Animated Live Chat", Marco said in response to a fan, his parents were high school sweethearts and loved each other for a long time. These episodes show how the Diazes are lovey dovey:
** "Diaz Family Vacation": Rafael and Angie give each other bedroom eyes on the couch and Angie plays with Rafael's chest hair. In the Forest of Certain Death, Rafael comments on his wife's beauty. And while they were in the hot spring, they make kissy faces to each other.
** "Raid the Cave": As Star uses the All-Seeing Eye to find Glossaryck, Star has spotted them by surprise as they pop their legs up and they lean in to kiss.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Star and Jackie developed feelings for Marco because of his kindness. Star was attracted to bad boys and Jackie had interest in a boy from skate camp.
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Sabrina the cheerleader ends up in the hospital a couple times.
* SlidingScaleOfContinuity: The series started out as Level 3, with the only things in Season 1 carrying over into later episodes being; Star getting interdimensional scissors, Ms. Skullnick turning into a troll, and Toffee joining Ludo's army. From the Season 1 finale onward, the series jumped to Level 4, with several plot threads opened in Season 1 continuing into Seasons 2 and 3.
%% * SlidingScaleOfIdealismVsCynicism: Heavily idealistic.
* SlidingScaleOfSillinessVersusSeriousness: Was originally in the silly side, but as of the first half-hour episode, the series began going back and forth, with dramatic and lore-heavy episodes being mixed in with random misadventures.
* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: [[spoiler:In "Escape from the Pie Folk", Star starts to sing a song her mom always sang, and Moon, who seems to have lost her memory, recognizes it.]]
* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: Ludo was usurped by the far more competent and dangerous Toffee, but seemingly managed to come back more dangerous than him thanks to a wand of his own [[spoiler:only for him to be Toffee's pawn the entire time and Toffee to reveal himself and prove way more dangerous with the Wand than Ludo was]]. After his defeat, there's no real BigBad for awhile until [[spoiler:Meteora]] is revealed [[spoiler:and shows herself to be even more powerful and dangerous than even Toffee]].
* SpoilerOpening: At the end of the title sequence, Ms. Skullnick appears as a troll.
* StalkingIsFunnyIfItIsFemaleAfterMale: Janna stalks, spies on, steals from, blackmails, invades the privacy, teases and flirts with Marco in nearly every episode she appears. His horror and discomfort is always played for laughs.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: The principal, for no reason, informs everyone at a pep rally that the head cheerleader did ''not'' get that position because her father donated a bunch of money to the school.
* TakeThat:
-->'''Rafael Diaz''': For how much money these doctors charge you would think they'd be much better at their jobs.
* TeensAreShort: Sort of. Star and Marco are both 14, and while most of the adults are taller, quite a few are around the same size or slightly shorter than them.[[note]]It's also made pretty obvious that Star and Marco both nowhere near done growing. One episode shows a FutureBadass 30-year-old Marco who's quite tall, and Star being a virtual PaletteSwap of her mother as a teenager will also almost certainly get a good deal taller over the next few years.[[/note]] This is subverted with a few of the background characters at their school, who are teenagers and very tall.
* TigerVersusDragon:
** Marco and Jeremy have this antagonistic relationship. Marco is the dragon because he is the most rational, patient and logical to win fights. Jeremy is the tiger because he fights because of his ego and SpoiledBrat behavior which results in him being an aggressive fighter.
** When Star and Marco argue then they represent this. Alternatively, they represent this when fighting enemies. Star is the tiger because her magic is affected by her emotions and she tends to allow her emotions to affect her decisions. Examples include refusing to help an enemy because she believed that monsters were naturally evil and irredeemable, angrily believed that Marco saw her as helpless and in need of rescue from Tom despite Marco being ProperlyParanoid and finally [[spoiler:she tried to bury her feelings for Marco because she feared that she would ruin their friendship or ruin his relationship with Jackie]]. Marco is the dragon because he is the most rational and logical when making decisions but it has gotten him in trouble due to other dimensions having different laws and traditions. This is best shown in two episodes, when Star and Marco tried to save the bounce lounge Marco tried to tell her that she should accept the change to preserve her nostalgia however Star refused to listen and valiantly tried to save it. This is also shown when Marco and Star became babysitters for Buff Frog's children, Star disregarded the rules so that the children can have fun but Marco insisted that they follow Buff Frog's instructions. This dichotomy is primarily shown when the pair fight enemies as Marco uses his martial arts to win whereas Star uses devastating magical attacks to quickly win fights.
* TransformationSequence: The Battle For Mewni Episode 7 [[spoiler:Star has a sequence before turning into a yellow butterfly with six arms (similar to her mother's magical form) and vanquishing Toffee. This drains Star but saves everyone.]]
* UnrequitedLoveSwitcheroo: [[spoiler:Marco and Star, Star have been harboring a crush since mid-Season 2 finally getting over it after the Battle for Mewni to which Marco starts being attracted towards her, but the implications of such are not on lost on her]].
* UnusualEuphemism: Star sometimes uses the phrase "Pegasus feathers".
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: It's pretty rare for anyone in the series to react to the display of magic, particularly not Star's extremely liberal usage of it. Only the school principal in the first episode displays any skepticism, and it gets dropped as soon as Star's father gives him a box of gold. Marco's parents have no reaction to the strange girl who summons puppies that shoot lasers from their eyes and adds an entire wing/tower onto their house. A guy who trails fire, has three eyes and arrives in front of the school in a carriage drawn by a skeleton horse draws no further comment from anyone other than a few girls remarking on [[{{Pun}} how hot]] he is. And Oskar complaining that the demon [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking parked his carriage in the handicapped space]].
* TheUpperCrass: The Johansen family that Star's father River was born into is a group of small nobles who live out in the wilderness, engage in savage capture-the-flag games, and apologize to people by handing out hunks of meat with "I'm sorry" engraved in them.

* VersusTitle: ''Star vs. the Forces of Evil''.
* VolcanicVeins: [[spoiler:Eclipsa has dark ones running up her arm, and Moon gets them as well after her DealWithTheDevil with her]].
* VomitDiscretionShot: During "Brittney's Party", Marco has been constantly holding back his sick. Once the bus crashes, Marco and Ludo take turns throwing up into a garbage can.
* WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld: Kind of.
* WeSellEverything: Quest Buy stocks pretty much every item any trans-dimensional citizen could ever want. Good luck finding exactly what it is you're looking for, though.
* WhamLine:
** Season one's "Storm the Castle" even lampshades the nature of Toffee's statement.
---> '''[[KnightOfCerebus Toffee]]''': Do you think I'm like [[HarmlessVillain Ludo]]? I don't want your wand... ''destroy it''.\\
'''Star and Marco''': [[BigWhat WHAAAAAAAT]]?\\
'''Toffee''': SURPRISE!
** From the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqG4sCjqH54 Battle for Mewni trailer]]:
---> '''Moon''': [[spoiler:Eclipsa's alive... and I made a deal with her.]]
** In "Return to Mewni", when Moon objects to Star leaving the sanctuary to fight Toffee:
--->'''Moon''': Star, Stop!\\
'''Star''': ''Why?'' What happened to cool, warrior queen mom?\\
'''Moon''': I was never a cool, warrior queen Star. (tearing up) I was a happy-go-lucky girl like you and then [[spoiler:Toffee and his monsters killed my mother.]]
** Ever since Glossaryck came BackFromTheDead in "Rest in Pudding", he could only say one word; "Globgor". In the Season 3 finale "Conquer", we finally find out what it means:
--->[[spoiler:'''Glossaryck''': Eclipsa's Monster Love, Globgor! She's going off to be with him. I've been trying to tell you for ''months!'']]
** When Marco catches up with Star in "The Right Thing", he warns her that Mina is coming. Star tells them about how they just defeated Mina, referring to the destroyed armor above them:
---> '''Marco''': [[spoiler:Uh... That's not Mina.]]
** "Here to Help":
*** When Marco and Star are herding the piggoats.
---->'''Star''': [[spoiler:You know, I'm glad we're alone, together, because there's something I wanted to talk to you about. [[LoveConfession I remember what you said to me in the magic.]]]]
*** [[spoiler:We find out who is really behind the Solarian soldiers]].
---->[[spoiler:'''Star''': What do you mean “intended”? Are you... are you working for Mina?\\
'''Moon''': No. ''[[TheManBehindTheMan Mina’s working for me]]''.]]
** From "The Tavern at the End of the Multiverse":
--->'''Star''': [[spoiler:[[DoesNotLikeMagic I hate magic.]]]]
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse:
** Although the series has a strong sense of continuity, there are a few elements that are seemingly neglected. Marco's magic Dust Buster, for instance, is never brought up after Star found her replacement charger.
** Lobster Claws, one of Ludo's minions, only appeared in two episodes (and was the [[ADayInTheLimelight focus]] of the second) before vanishing from the series completely.
** The bulk of Ludo's minions are unaccounted for after "Storm the Castle", with only Buff Frog and Boo Fly showing up in Season 2.
** Alfonso and Ferguson for the bulk of Season 2. This is later lampshaded when Star addresses them by name, but only their arms waving over a crowd could be seen.
** Marco's Monster Arm is seeded in Season 1 as something that will return later, but never appears after it's debut episode save for a FreezeFrameBonus in "Storm the Castle".
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: PlayedForLaughs in "Page Turner". At the end, Star has read the forbidden chapter of her spellbook and [[spoiler:decided it's not for her. ''Marco'', however]], has gone insane with power:
-->'''Glossaryck''': [[ResetButton Luckily, there's a spell to fix that]].
* WomenAreWiser:
** Subverted with the main couple: Star is a GenkiGirl to Marco's StraightMan.
** Played straight with the Royal Couple: Queen Moon is TheStoic while King River is a BoisterousBruiser.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: "Mewnipendence Day" reveals that the [[spoiler:founders of Mewni invaded the monsters' home and slaughtered them. This makes you see Ludo and his minions as well as the citizens of Mewni in a whole new light.]]
* WrittenByTheWinners:
** If the implications in "Mewnipendance Day" are correct, the current inhabitants of Mewni are descended from colonists who [[spoiler:forcibly removed the comparatively weaker original inhabitants from the land in a "massacre" using the wand that would later become Star's, then claimed it was a self-defense fight in their history books. That these original inhabitants were monsters may be why the monsters of current day are so eager to get Star's wand.]]
** As Season 3 progresses, many facts come to light which suggest that [[spoiler:Queen Eclipsa, despite dealing in dark magic, may not be the cut-and-dry villain that she's been made out to be]].
* YouAllLookFamiliar: Quest Buy is staffed entirely by anthropomorphic sloths with identical voices.
