A mixture of mercury and bromine makes for a funny kind of water

The latter. Mercury bromide is highly toxic (I'm pretty sure all mercury salts are highly toxic). Its also a solid, not a liquid.

But mercury and bromine are the only two liquid elements at room temperature in their elemental form, which is why they're "water". One is silver, the other reddish brown and syrupy.

Mercury salts are surprisingly non toxic when compared to organic mercury ☠️

Duuuudeee

This comment scared the shit out of me...

My wall-clock was broken, and I looked at my phone and said to my partner "it's not 9:11" and then five SECONDS later I got the notification from you "it's not 9/11".

That is fucking weird...

I'm not sure how to feel about the fact that I can't look at an image anymore and not find some way to interpret the vague shapes as Saddam Hussein.

What about sub elements?

You have metal and earth, and then metalloids.

Elements with a lot of alpha or beta emissions are lighting.

Some Earth benders Geologists can manipulate metal tho.

Earth? Wood comes from trees and other plants that both grow from the earth, and decompose back into the earth.

But they grow of air and water without significantly consuming the earth they grow in.

Yes, but the earth provides many nutrients required that cannot be obtained by air and water alone. That’s why farmers have to rotate crops often.

If "Fire" is supposed to represent radioactive elements, quite a few corrections would be necessary.
Other than that, nice concept.

Personally I think mercury is more of a 'wet earth' hybrid element.
