@astrid symphonic metal if we're talking about music, sodium if we're talking about metal because it's buttery soft and explosive :blobyeengrin:​

@astrid Oh, damn. This is a tough one...

I think I'd have to say uranium, only because it's on my bucket list to hold a piece of natural uranium in my own two hands at least once in my life, just so I can behold the sheer density of it.

A whole lotta transition and post-transition metals have really awesome chemical and physical properties each worth their own individual shouts.

But two that go unsung are vanadium and molybdenum, very commonly found in alloys for the properties they give!

@astrid my top, id say neodymium, because of magnets

i have loads of those kinds of magnets

when i was younger i used to love niobium due to its heat properties.

Perhaps in future my favourite would become an alloy because of materials science things

@astrid I like titanium a lot because it's light, strong and can be given a nice brushed shine. Palladium is seriously underrated though.

@astrid polythyazil because it’s not an element and its constituent parts aren’t a metal but it is itself!
