History Recap / StarVsTheForcesOfEvilS3E12Demoncism

* WeirderThanUsual: Star notes this of Tom at the beginning of the episode, because it's very unlike Tom to avoid her.

* CorrelationCausationGag: Star is punching a tree when an explosion caused by Tom’s demoncism occurs nearby. Pony Head thinks it was caused by Star punching too hard.

* ShaggyDogStory: Tom's demoncism is a success... but they were only able to remove one of the ''thousands'' of demons inhabiting him, and getting rid of them all would require a ''thirteen-year'' regiment. Tom decides it's too risky and not worth the effort.

* EmptyShell: Unfortunately, the side effect of getting a Demoncism is that the subject is robbed of all emotion and any semblance of personality. Since Tom is an AlwaysChaoticEvil demon, a thirteen year procedure would do a ''huge'' number on him.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Dating Tom is the ''last'' thing Star wants, and while she hasn't had good history with him, she doesn't like that Tom can't deal with his problems like a normal person should, and resorting to a procedure that has a chance of ''killing'' him and would rob him of any semblance of personality.

* CooldownHug: Star gives one to Tom when his demoicism apparently gets out of hand.

Star and Ponyhead try to stop Tom from getting a "demonicism".

* BeYourself: Tom willingly decides to undergo a demionicism to remove his demonic energy in the hopes of it alleviating his anger issues for Star's sake. After seeing what a demonicism did to Pony Head's ex, fundamentally changing who he is as a person, Star resolves to put a stop to it. After Tom awakens post-demonicism in agony and is told that it would just be the first session in a lengthy regimen, Star assures him the desire and effort to improve himself is the important part.
* CannotKeepASecret: It doesn't take much prodding for Star to get Ponyhead to blab about Tom's demonicism.
* CooldownHug: Star gives one to Tom when his demonicism apparently gets out of hand.
* CorrelationCausationGag: Star is punching a tree when an explosion caused by Tom’s demonicism occurs nearby. Pony Head thinks it was caused by Star punching too hard.

* OverlyNervousFlopSweat: Ponyhead is seen sweating profusely while resisting the effort to outright tell Star about Tom's demonicism.

* ReallyGetsAround: When Ponyhead suggests they ask her ex where demonicisms are held, a frustrated Star asks "Which ex?" She then apologizes for sounding so harsh and judgemental about it.
* ShaggyDogStory: Tom's demonicism is a success... but they were only able to remove one of the ''thousands'' of demons inhabiting him, and getting rid of them all would require a ''thirteen-year'' regiment. Tom decides it's too risky and not worth the effort.

* StepfordSmiler: After his demonicism, Seahorse is left a mild-mannered doormat who cheerfully parrots customer-service stock phrases no matter what others seem to say.
* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: Presumably, an average demonicism doesn't involve a giant forest fire and the ritualists running and cowering for their lives. Tom is apparently so powerful that removing his demonic energy would require a ''thirteen year regimen'' of demonicisms.

* EmptyShell: Unfortunately, the side effect of getting a Demoncism is that the subject is robbed of all emotion and any semblance of personality. Since Tom is an AlwaysChaoticEvil demon, a thirteen year procedure would do a ''huge'' number on him.
