(SPOILERS FOR STAR BUTTERFLY EFFECT AHEAD) I was a fan of a little cartoon you may have heard of, Chibiverse, a crossover cartoon on Disney Channel featuring Chibi Versions of favorite DTVA Characters.

I was happy to hear that Season 4 was about to premiere on Disney Channel on May 9th! It was the most exciting thing I have heard all week! But... Later that day, I saw a DVD posted by my mailbox that was badly scratched and beaten up with text on the case saying "The REAL Star Butterfly Effect" labeled with blood, I shrugged it off and also was happy because this was one of the new segments about to premiere soon and no footage was shown online yet, so I planned to watch it the next morning with my little brother because he likes the show as well!

The very next day, I sat down on the living room couch with my little brother and put on the DVD, the menu just had one option - "THE REAL STAR BUTTERFLY EFFECT - S4E1B" I was pretty weirded out by it but played the programme anyway, The theme song played, but it was fine compared to other creepy DVDs and Stories I've watched, In the episode, It was the Chibi Potluck which was a food based event in the Chibiverse, Merian was panicking about the party she was hosting to be in the Chibi Party Planning Commission, but realised that Star Butterfly was going to be popping out of a cake for dessert, So she introduced the surprise and Star burst out and said a spell to make it rain candy, Then the whole place collapsed and burst into fire.

Merian reached out to Phineas to travel back in time to go back and fix the problem Star caused, They managed to go back 5 minutes ago and met up with Star to request that she say that she was going to pop out of the cake to do the surprise, Star was skeptical but she did it anyway.

So far, nothing was wrong with the episode, Until Star mentioned that she was gonna pop up, Everyone thought she was a talking cake and threw her down a cliff... Then... They realized they threw Star down the cliff, Hop-Pop said "I'm sure Star's gonna be okay" then.. silence upon them, The shot quickly changed to black and changed to a shot of the hospital... Marco, Moon and River were there in the waiting room... Until the doctor came out and spoke to the three.. "Marco, Moon, River... I've got bad news... After Star fell down the cliff, she died 2 minutes later due to the horrific injuries.. They were also invited to see Star's body... Then they showed the body.. I was so horrified so much that I covered my brother's eyes... Star had both eyes gouged out, multiple stab wounds from the rocks.. and mostly blood everywhere on her body... I actually nearly threw up everywhere due to the horrific and gross imagery.

It cut to black again, This time with crying sounds from the three chibis, but it didn't sound like a cartoon crying sound... It was extremely realistic.. My stomach dropped hearing those sounds, they made me feel extremely upset, It then cut to a scene of Marco laying down on his bed, tears flooding up his eyes with those same realistic crying sounds, This scene lasted 5 minutes before cutting to static and then back to black, then another scene with Marco walking to the kitchen was shown for 33 seconds, then picked up a bowl of his homemade nachos and left the house..

He then went to the Chibi Cemetery, Marco walked up to a gravestone saying "STAR BUTTERFLY 2001-2026" he then dropped the nachos on her grave and placed some flowers... Then he said "I'm sorry this had to happen Star, I hope you have a better happy life..." then left, It then led to another shot of Marco on his bed... But this time... After 47 seconds, he starts hitting his head on his bed 35 times.. His mom knocked on the door saying "Marco, what are you doing in there, are you alright?" he then kept on hitting his head... until his head split open with blood shooting everywhere and eventually killed himself, His mom eventually said "Okay, I'm gonna go inside to make sure you're okay", she then opened the door and saw Marco's dead body on his bed, then she shouted out a huge scream my brother ran away and left the room... I was all on my own, I had to continue watching til the end.

Then, a shot of two gravestones appeared on screen with Marco's tomb next to Star's, Merian later walked up to the graves and said "If only I didn't travel back in time and killed you, This wouldn't have happened..." then she loaded a gun.. and shot herself.. ending the episode.

As the credits rolled, My hands started to shake out of fear, I didn't want to see a Chibiverse episode to air on Disney like THAT, I immediately took out the disc and put it in the trash can.. And I didn't watch a single Chibiverse episode. EVER AGAIN!

The End?
