    It took me way too long to realize that “AU” was short for “Alternate Universe”, and not Australia. Though, I suppose “Australia” works, too. Everything there is actively trying to kill you, after all.

        People think they’re cute and cuddly, but that’s just how they reel you in. Sneaky little fuckers. Here’s a selfie one of its victims snapped in the moment before his brutally painful demise:

      You think that’s bad? My first thought was Revenge of the Sith GOLD and I’m not even a chemistry buff 😄

        Well if you were a chemistry buff you would not think of it as gold since both letters are capitalized. A is not on the periodic table, but U is uranium. Gold would be Au.

          See what I mean? There’s absolutely no reason why my first thought should have been “gold,” but here we are 🤷
