Kudos for the Golden Apple of Discord reference. Nice.

artshifter:

(( In blogcanon or out of it? In blogcanon I doubt it. Out of canon, I figured the Apple of Discord story is well-known enough to have lent some inspiration to the imagery; an item that causes jealousy, covetousness, and strife. However, Golden Apples show up in various other myths and fairytales and poems and such. ))

Are you sure that’s what the golden apple stands for? >3>

I will find out where she has gone

And kiss her lips and take her hands;

And walk among the dappled grass,

And pluck till time and times are done

The silver apples of the moon, 

The golden apples of the sun.

- William Butler Yeats, excerpt from The Song of the Wandering Aengus

Aye, there’s another reason for it. Its in her name.
