Added DiffLines:

* ExactWords: Eclipsa is set free because the terms of her deal with Moon specified Toffee's death, not that Moon had to be responsible for it. Star has to point this out when Moon tries to renege on her end of the bargain.


Added DiffLines:

* NeverMyFault: As Star points out, Moon tries to blame Eclipsa for her use of the immortal-killing spell which tainted her arms, but it was Moon who went to her to get that spell, made a deal for Eclipsa's freedom, then tried to cheat her way out of it by merely wounding Toffee.

Added DiffLines:

* TheCorrupter: Discussed and Defied. Moon tells Star that Eclipsa can get into her head make her do things she doesn’t want to do. However, Star states that when it came to her doing The Darkest Spell, it was Moon’s idea to come to Eclipsa for help.

Everythings Better With Monkeys has been turned into a disambiguation. Zero Context Examples and examples that don’t fit existing tropes will be removed.


* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: Star's examination randomly involves a monkey grooming her hair for "evil fleas". As expected of Star, she "only" has regular fleas.

She didn't abdicate the throne (at least, not officially), she only eloped with Globgor.


* AmbiguouslyEvil: As Star points out, Eclipsa doesn't really ''seem'' evil...or at least not evil enough to deserve eternal imprisonment in crystal. Her only real offences were abdicating the throne to be with her monster lover, and dabbling in dark magic. The latter of which she says [[IDidWhatIHadToDo she did to survive]], and according to Star, Eclipsa's chapter "wasn't that big of a deal". It remains to be seen where Eclipsa's morality truly lies.

* CurseCutShort: When Star stops Rhombulus from re-crystallizing Eclipsa, his crystalizing beam ricochets around the room and hits him on the butt. Then Rhombulus tries to say "Great, now I got crystals growing on my-" but he's interupted by Moon before he can say ''exactly'' where they're coming from.

-->'''Queen Moon:''' Star, I know Eclipsa seems nice, but she can get into your head and make you do things you don't want to do.

-->'''Queen Moon:''' Well, ''yes'', but-

* DisproportionateRetribution: Star makes it clear that she doesn't trust Eclipsa, and she even admits that it ''was'' selfish on Eclipsa's part to simply abandon her duties as Queen to marry a monster. However, she doesn't believe this warrants her being crytallized for eternity, especially since her mother and the High Commission can't provide any real evidence that Eclipsa has committed an actual crime.
