the stuff that happened to you in australia is wild, are you sure you're not stanley yelnats
Lol ya know sometimes I'll watch that film and think "this seems familiar" haha!
I don't talk about it much at all, and only a few people in my real life know the whole story. It happened 14 years ago but there are times when I think back to all the shit I did and risky decisions I made and wonder how I survived. At the same time I remember all the people who legit saved me at various points.
The Israeli guy who found me outside my hostel in sydney stressed and jetlagged and all alone and offered to take me to the beach for the few hours before I was able to check in. He bought me lunch. He kept a nervous half asleep and already sunburnt british girl company for my first few hours in Australia and was such a lovely guy. Not once did it feel like he had nefarious intentions.
The coach driver from Dubbo to Burke who saw a young girl all alone waiting to be picked up by a sadistic farmer who decided last minute not to pick me up til the next day so I was stuck at the Burke coach station at night all alone - the coach driver found me a hotel and paid for me for the night, he called his wife and got her to speak to me and give me her number as they were worried about me. They tried to convince me not to go to the farm - I should have listened.
The two Australian brothers who were on a hunting trip with their two young boys, who stayed on the sadistic farmers property and realised I was distressed, scared, and had no way out, and offered to smuggle me off his farm at 5am and take me back to Burke.
The Aussie guy who found me at the coach station in Dubbo after my long escape, asked if I was okay, and if I knew where the hostel was, and when I said no and burst into tears he found a hostel for me, called them and gave me a lift to the other side of town and got me checked in. Once I was there I knew I was safe, and the hostel manager got me in contact with the Aussie authorities to report my experience. Again, another saviour who wanted nothing but to know I was okay.
Its funny writing it down now, the good parts anyway, because each time I put my faith in strangers, all of them men, and in all circumstances it could have gone very bad, but miraculously in all circumstances for me they all just genuinely wanted to help.
I used to joke that my superpower was playing the damsel in distress and making men genuinely want to save me. But the fact is, I WAS a damsel in distress, and I WAS saved, by good decent people every time. The time I spent on the farm was horrible. I don't like to think about it much. I didn't come to any physical harm, but mentally it was the worst experience of my life - but I do try to remember the people who saved me. Who took care of me and extended kindness my way when I really needed it. Its made me a better person I think.
But anyway thats why I hate country music with a fiery passion. If you listen to it on repeat for 2 weeks whilst stuck in a prison of mind games, fear, and constant threats on your life, you start making associations. In the section of Hell reserved just for me, they play country music round the clock.

I know my most popular post is of aventurine and ena the order sharing an eye color and ena possibly being gaiathra triclops but i don't necessarily believe it. It's a pretty common theory but im not exactly sure if that's the conclusion we should draw. It seems a little too implicit to be a red herring but ena being gaiathra triclops would sort of undermine aventurine's story and journey with religion.
Im sure we'll get more lore reveals in future versions but with what we have now, I have 2 theories:
1. Gaiathra triclops is separate from the aeon system but as perhaps a minor deity, she derives her power or maintains her existence through the order. I'm thinking in broad terms here since aeon lore is shaky but it's possible gaiathra triclops is too minor a divinity to be counted as an aeon but she still exists. When ena got devoured by xipe, an event that surely has lasting effects, maybe an overflow of power seeped into the universe and several minor divinities were able to be born and sustain themselves through it. Of course this wouldn't necessarily mean that all beings using that power would follow the path of order especially since it no longer exists, but form their own paths/ideologies.
2. Gaiathra triclops is an off shoot divinity of ena. In many mythologies, deities are born from a body part or aspect of another greater deity. An example would be athena being born from the skull of zeus in greek mythology, or amaterasu, tsukuyomi, and susanoo being born from izanagi's eyes and nose when he washed himself after visiting the underworld in japanese mythology. So there are a lot of things that gaiathra triclops could have formed from; ena's tears, ena's regrets, ena's musical notes, or even body parts like the eye in ena's portrait. When ena was devoured, some aspect of her crystallized into another being i.e. gaiathra triclops.
This is slightly different from theory 1 since this would mean gaiathra triclops was once a part of ena the order while the first theory would mean that she is only using power/energy that comes from the order.
Both could explain why aventurine and depictions of ena the order have the same eye color. Which honestly, is the only thing that ties the two together; if it wasn't for that no one would really connect them.
In any case I actually have no idea why this tenuous connection exists but i wanted to explore more options beyond the 'ena is gaiathra triclops' theory
