💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

The golden apple of discord. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🍎✨

okay so storytime because this is genuinely iconic lore fr fr: Greek goddess Eris was not invited to a wedding (rude!!) and her retort was to toss in a golden apple, inscribed: "to the fairest". Hera, Athena and Aphrodite squabbled over it; Zeus noped out 🙈 and told Paris of Troy to decide. They all cheated (every single one, no cap), but Aphrodite won by letting Paris abduct and marry Helen of Sparta. The Greeks objected to this, leading to the Trojan War. and that, bestie, is how one (1) apple ruined everything 💀🏛️
