HELLO I AM HERE TO TALK ELEMENTS WITH YOU!!!!
First of all, I love your moodboards, they're giving me so much happiness and life.
And second of all, just the other day I was enjoying 'Columbo Goes To The Guillotine' where Anthony Andrews of Brideshead Revisited; and many other credits was the villain.
And it was occurring to me, how excellent he would be in Sapphire and Steel. Now the question just remains, as to which element... I'm going to look through the PT myself, but I'd dearly love any ideas you might have on that as well!
Yaaay! My plan to annoy the void into talking back to me worked! <3 (I feel Steel would disapprove of this plan...)
And also thank you! I love speculating on what other 'elements' might be like and I'm glad the moodboards are being fun for you too.
But, yes, let's talk of elements and other things!
Anthony Andrews is someone I've seen in a few things (although not Brideshead). I'd not considered him before, but I can definitely see it, yes!
Which one is a really good question, though. Don't forget you don't just have the periodic table to play with, there are minerals and alloys running around here calling themselves elements, including
Oh, yeah, these two eponymous pretenders. ;-p
Some at least vaguely canonical ones not yet done include Platinum and 'Brass' (the latter may not be 'real' or currently extant, though, given Sapphire's reaction to giving that human any other 'element's 'powers' in A5).
Some elements that have turned up in fic so far that I know of, but which I haven't yet done a moodboard for include Acanthite, Magnesium, Helium, Indium, Iodine, Ruthenium, Bloodstone, and Tantalum, plus a few Transuranics - Americium, Flerovium, Lawrencium, Livermorium, Neptunium, and Uranium.
But this takes much Googling of possible elements/minerals/alloys and frowning at wikipedia... XD
