#really hoping that skizz continues to do Cool Things next episode that make him Unequivocally Protagonisty

WAIT a second, folks, I found a new layer to another bit of Skizz-related iconography that I am, of course, very very normal about.

Let’s talk about golden apples.

In Skizz’s Third Life episode 1, Ren gave him a golden apple in return for Skizz giving him some leather.  This was their first interaction!

I would need to track things more closely to see if it was the same gapple or a different one, but when the desert explosion happened six episodes later, Skizz ate a golden apple while regrouping.  A few moments later, his arrows found their mark and Jimmy became the first permadeath of the series at his hand.

Later that same episode, Skizz set out on his own to try to get some gunpowder from the desert, but realizes they’ve probably used it up and heads back.  Along the way, though, he stops by Skizz Point and makes five golden apples, and reflects a bit on his bloodlust.  Then he distributes those gapples among the rest of the Red Army (one each for Martyn and Etho, two for Ren, one for himself), and almost immediately charges the Crastle.  He forgets entirely about the one golden apple he has, and permadies with it in his hotbar.

There are fewer golden apples of note in Last Life, unless I missed any.  However, Skizz’s permadeath in that season is while he is midway through trying to eat a golden apple.  He does not get to finish it, and so once again permadies with a golden apple in his hotbar.

Skizz is not in Double Life.  Coincidentally, no golden apples are eaten in Double Life either, since they would break things.  They are uncraftable, but there are numerous found in various dungeon chests anyway-- I know that season winner Pearl found at least two.

We are currently two episodes into Limited Life, and Skizz has just resolved his qualms with Bdubs via good old-fashioned arena fight.  And there were golden apples involved in the arena fight, because of course there were!  Of course there were!!!  Skizz eats one before the fight, and gifts one to Bdubs when they reconcile (compliments and all) afterwards.  This means that Skizz has also eaten a gapple before the first non-permanent kill he has made in this series.  It also makes this a very powerful symbol of an alliance.

In conclusion, Skizz has always been associated with golden apples, and that trend has continued!
