The Monster Temple is a safe house, and Eclipsa is a hero!

AND Toffee’s an orphan/raid survivor, but we’ll get to that later.

Most of us had the theory long ago that the Monster Temple was the place Eclipsa and her lover (let’s call him Astaroth for now) lived in when they fled Mewni. Now it looks like that’s the truth, and that’s where they raised their hybrid child. But that’s not all it is…Eclipsa and Astaroth were NOT the only couple to live there!

There are statues of other monsters, all different kinds in fact- Septarians, Avarians, cyclopses, etc. -all specifically showing mothers and their babies! I think other Mewmans followed in Eclipsa’s footsteps: other Mewmans ran away from Mewni and married Monsters! That temple is a safe house for interracial elopers! And that nursery is where their hybrid children were cared for.

Now, let’s remember that we never would’ve known about this place if it weren’t for Toffee; he’s the one that led Ludo there in the first place, so obviously he has a connection to it…and that’s where his connection to Eclipsa comes in.

Remember how we all freaked out seeing lizard statues the first time we saw this place? It seems Septarians also took shelter here, or at least a Septarian and a Mewman did and raised their child here. This can mean two things: 1. Toffee married a Mewman and had a child in this temple (I theorized Toffee was a father a long time ago and still hold onto it for many reasons), or 2. Toffee IS one of the hyrbid children raised in that nursery.

THAT’S why he’s so loyal to Eclipsa. That’s why he wears her emblems, and that’s how he knows so much about her family. That’s why he spent 20+ years trying to set her free. Because Eclipsa is his hero! She offered Toffee and many other families safety and security…and it was all taken away by the oppressive Magical High Commission, who kept the whole thing hush in the end.
