Gotta give it to Lucky. That is some Grade A Manipulation right there.
Hanging the “I could do anything to you, but I won’t” puts her in a position of power that would naturally strike fear. Unintended or not, she’s playing the card that amy would think about. Even if she didn’t use her power’s on her, who’s to say she won’t use it on other’s? (or her loved ones)
Also the “Star didn’t really ask you”, just, wooow.
She didn’t ask You to manipulate time and invade her dreams either. But you Did, because you thought it was the Right thing to Do. Like a someone would in a crisis. *holds up mirror to lucky*
And Amy’s Right in the end. Star and the council Are the Leader’s. And unless she has any reason to doubt them (which she shouldn’t at this point) there would be no reason to betray her.
In a normal situation. But this is not a normal situation with a normal fairy.
The power difference is real. It’s not even coming from her position, it’s purely her being star fairy and she can’t STOP being star fairy. Lucky can’t talk with Amy as equal because they are not … and only way they can get at least somewhat more equal is if Amy accepts.
Star and the council are leaders … and they were not ELECTED in that position, nor there is any meaningful oversight on them. That’s a BIG reason to doubt them. Then there is that bit about them controlling only way for reproduction AND the fact that when someone disagreed with them they started war over that. Also major red flag. And something she KNOWS, nothing secret. Seriously, Amy has no more reasons to trust Star than Lucky, and that’s taking into account Lucky brought back Nihallaks.
Sure, you can look at it pragmatically: in case of revolution, supporting leaders is usually safer (remember that lot of revolutions fails). But that has nothing to do with trust.
Also, in this case, supporting Star would end up catastrophically, but that’s something only WE know and it’s also only because she was corrupted by Monolith.
The power difference is real, but she pointed it out. She didn’t Have to, but she Did.
And the fact that she did means there would be determinant’s to doing forcibly manipulating her. Otherwise she would have just done it. And morals don’t come into play on her part, we’ve already established star fairies can manipulate memories. She could have manipulated Amy and she’d have been none the wiser.
So she’s either Really hung up on her morals(which as we established is not a huge issue for a time traveler), or she Needs Amy to Agree to this for it to work.
And yes, the star council wasn’t elected. Because if God like figures showed up and laid down the law, you’d need a really damn good reason to object to that. And the land’s they live in are near Utopian at this point. (or atleast that’s how it seems to the general public)
Controlling reproduction at that point is the only real political issue. You’d need to have a stake in it to even feel like you’d wanna care about it, and I don’t think Amy wants kid’s anytime soon. Especially since it’s already a complicated topic with long lived being’s.
So yeah, not withstanding the fact we already know star is corrupted and they don’t, she’d need a Personal reason to wanna go to bat for lucky. But Amy doesn’t have a major steak for either side, so the only card left is to trick her into thinking it’s the only choice.
The old “I could manipulate you, but I don’t want to… though really I am” trick.
No, this is “let yourself to be manipulated in the nice way because it’s better than being manipulated in the ugly way”.
But, well … it IS better and Amy really don’t have an option to NOT be manipulated …
