The most stable elements, Clarice, appear in the middle of the periodic table, roughly between iron and silver.
Between iron and silver. I think that is appropriate for you.

↪ And how do we begin to covet, Clarice? Do we seek out things to covet?
THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (1991) dir. Jonathan Demme
I don’t think we talk enough about what a Mary Sue Hannibal is in the books. He’s got maroon eyes that “reflect red pinpoints in the light,” six fingers on his left hand, perfect pitch, several graduate degrees, a photographic memory, and a literal actual castle. He speaks seven languages. He can do every kind of art. He can smell cancer. He gives himself reconstructive surgery (twice). He’s the funniest bitch alive. AND he gets his girl.
