Find your tribe in a Sea of Creativity
Sky city and its people are a perfect example of how a lack of curiosity results in a lack of understanding. And sometimes a lack of understanding breeds fear is some and leaves dictatorship a very plausible possibility.
Personally, I believe that Isa never truly meant to be a dictator and that her primary reason for imposing the rigid rules that she did was to ensure the stability of the city and the safety of its people. However there is no denying that she benefited from her people's lack.
She owns the Eversource. The one her people don't have, she does and that is an abundance of natural resources. It's all at her disposal so this automatically places her at the top. What maintains her position at the top is the fact that the majority of Sky City people have to rely on her to provide them with the means to build. They simply cannot just go off and build as they please and flourish within their own little communities.
So now not only does Isa have an abundance of resources but the Sky CIty people have to rely on her for these resources.
She has made herself the only source that these people have and they can't do anything about it because they don't have the means to. Isa can now make rules, give and take as she pleases all without having to explain herself to her people because they are afraid of her.
Hot take.......Axel is the most annoying member of the Order of the Pig. My best friend and I were talking about this the other day and don't get me wrong I love axel but everyone else in the group is actively contributing in an attempt to fight the Witherstorm and all he does for like the first season is beef Lukas and it low-key gets on my nerves.
He was like "why didn't you save Petra, Lukas"??? Why didn't you? Axel I kid you not was the first person to run through that portal in the obsidian temple so he shouldn't even be asking questions at that point.
And then in like the mud hut/tree house scene he gave everyone BUT Lukas cookies and then in the morning Lukas came back with apples for everyone INCLUDING Axel. Although ngl idk why Lukas went outside in the middle of the night, in a thunderstorm with the added threat of the Witherstorm. I get it but at the same time that was a bit much but I still love Lukas tho.
All that being said, I'm just trying to build up my community and have some mutuals. I've been on tumblr for a hot minute now and I'm kind of just lurking and looking at everyone else's posts but I would definitely love to find some people with similar interests that I could talk to about stuff.
Anyway love Axel but he just does too much in szn 1.
