And Eve loved her husband, as she was made to do. Although she did not know it; her days were full of servitude, and obedience. Not just to her husband, but also, god, who she believed to be good.
Who she believed was mighty and kind.
Who she believed knew her better than herself.
That he knew every thought before she thought it, that he knew every hair on her head.
That he had a destiny for her. So, surely all her actions were ... the right ones? Because in truth, Eve was as she was made to be.
The young woman’s curiosity was ripe. Riper than the pears and oranges and grapes. Riper than the trees, and the flowers. However, her faith never wavered, as she knew nothing else. Because everything she could ever want was before her.
The garden of Eden was beautiful. It was a paradise. (But whose paradise?) As she cooked and cleaned for Adam; he lay in the sun. Day after day, it was the same.
And when she asked god, “is this life?” he would say, “yes Eve, isn’t it good?”
It must be good? How could it be anything but? Adam would hunt while she foraged for berries. And when Adam came back empty handed, she would make something from her own findings.
This is good, she thought, every morning when the sun rose.
Now, there was one rule in The Garden; Adam and Eve must not eat the fruit from a particular tree. The reason? Unanswered.
And one day, an animal that Eve knew as a snake, told her to give in to her curiosities. That was all. The snake told her that god was all-knowing, all-loving. So, he would already know she would take a bite from this tree’s fruit.
It all made sense. Her destiny was known, and this was it. How could it not be? Because surely her life was not to live in servitude!
And so she ate, and it tasted good. Like no other fruit in The Garden. And when she did eat, it was if a part of her was unlocked. Wisdom... she had wisdom. This is what this tree was ... one’s way of gaining their own opinions, their ... their freedom. She did not need to rely on god for the answer, as now she knew them.
Eve ran to Adam, wanting him to claim his own autonomy. Hesitation was in his eyes until he looked into Eve’s. He trusted her, and so he ate.
When both gained clarity, god appeared in a mighty fury.
“The rule has been broken.” His voice boomed and chilled them, surrounding the two naked individuals as if they had been plunged into water.
“Yes. I broke the rule,” Eve stood forward, daring to face god. “And now I do not need to rely on you. Is that what the rule was for? So that you had someone who needed you?”
Adam was silent. Looking from Eve to god and god to Eve. He said nothing as the both of them were cast out of The Garden.
It took him a long while to understand Eve’s words. And a while longer when he realised that just like god, he too needed someone to need him.

Just finished watching "The Haunting of Bly Manor " and of course my favourite lines were - But the lady in the lake was different now . It was Dani . And Dani would never.
And I thought it would've been really great if Jamie had said - it was "her Dani and her Dani would never " but just now I realised that - it's the whole point , Jaime would never confuse love with possession and so would Dani. They would never become Peter Quint .

*Lilith & Eve (oc)
They are two women that firstly created by God one after the other. Once the same name for them, "Eve".
One absorbed by Death. Fell into darkness, became "Lilith"
One deceived by Evil. Serpent, the enemy of women's posterity, was driven out along with humans.
A certain day, Eve met her accomplice again.
