Some elemental things

So, I was feeling really flat and tired again yesterday and today, so yesterday I made a historical gifset with Copper and Silver (which I'd been talking about wanting to do to [personal profile] theseatheseatheopensea) here on tumblr.





And today I thought I would do another OC Element, and finally found the perfect one for Dennis Alaba Peters (who was in Department S and I've been wanting to use him, partly because he was actually an opera singer and has a splendid voice, which always helps) - here's Carbon, or a potential Carbon anyway:





Anyway, maybe it's a bit too Sir Curtis-like, but imagining him as sort of senior element who wanders in and out vaguely and casually sorts things while being surprised other Elements found it difficult. ("Ah, Steel. Not still having trouble regulating your temperature, are you? I thought you fixed that half a century ago!")

The tumblr post is somewhere in the queue, but it'll turn up here in time.

Oh yes, perfect Carbon! Rather like the opera thing too. I can just imagine one of the Elements randomly bursting into song, probably at the most inappropriate moments.

I'm very sorry to hear that you haven't been feeling well, I feel you about that tired+flat feeling... but oh my gosh, these gifsets are so pretty! I know I always say this... but you really have a knack for making awesome graphics!!

I *love* your headcanon for Carbon, and having it be Sir Curtis-ish is very appropriate, I rather like such a vital Element having a no-nonsense, business-like presence! :D (He would totally run the whole Elemental operation! Would that crossover be called "Department E"? hehehe)

And the Silver+Copper one is very lovely and shiny, of course!

I hope you're feeling better! <3 Take care! <3

I like your Carbon quite a lot.

Your Carbon mood board is wonderful! I like the dice.

Sorry to hear you're feeling flat. I hope making pretty things helped a little.

Haha, Copper is perfect!

I like your Carbon. Steel would be so peeved with him!

Popping in nine months late (well, I could say "Time has no meaning here", but that would be pretentious and silly of me), to say pretty much what everyone else has said; your gif sets are always marvelous. Even when I don't know much about the characters you create, or the shows from which you politely filch them, they are marvelous.

Actually, I think I do know - or recognize, at least - the character of Jason King. There was a time in my teenage years when we got various ITV things that would play late at night, like "The Champions" and I would sneak downstairs to the livingroom whilst my Nana was in the kitchen, and I'd turn the TV on very low, place my face altogether too close to the screen, and watch the shows. And I think Jason King was someone that showed up. Was he in more than one show?
