It’s In His Kiss by LuthienTauriel


This one is my story. It is an alternate universe story about the relationship between Amanda Grayson and Sarek. I also have a subtle crossover between Star Wars and Stargate, but those story lines, as Star Wars puts it, happened a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away. Essentially I decided that Amanda was descended from all of the Stargate main cast and Sarek was descended from a Jedi that escaped Order 66. It is mainly a slow burn romance. The title is based off a Cher song, “If you want to know if he loves you so, it’s in his kiss.” Maybe one of my better fanfics.

And here's a link to that Cher song if you're interested:

Biker Mice From Mars (1993-1996; 2006)

 

Three andromorphic Martian mice named Throttle, Modo, and Vinnie crash land in Chicago. They discover that the people responsible for destroying their home planet, The Plutarkians, are here on Earth attempting to steal Earth’s natural resources, just like they stole Mars’. They rebel and with the help of mechanic Charlene Davidson attempt to make sure the Plutkarians don’t wipe out earth the way they wiped out Mars. I remember loving this show as a child. My brother even had a few micromachine toys of it.

The Incredibles 2 (2018)

 


Helen is asked to help Winston Deavor to restore the reputation of superheroes. Bob then has to take over as the primary care giver. Meanwhile Helen is battling super villain Screenslaver. There are some funny moments in this movie like when Bob is yelling that math is math when Dash shows him the “new way” to do math and when Jack-Jack makes himself look like Edna and therefore convinces the latter to babysit. Not a bad addition to the franchise even though the first one is better.

The Fantastic Four (2005)

 


The reason this is my favorite Fantastic Four is rather superficial. I have a Hollywood crush on Ioan Gruffudd. That being said it’s always fun to see Chris Evans as the more irresponsible Johnny Storm since he has played the by the book Captain America for the last few years. Also the casting is right on. In the newer version (which I admit that at this point I haven’t seen) just seems off. The actress that plays Sue Storm seems so much older than the actor who plays Reed Richards. Since they’re supposed to get together this just seems off. Gruffudd does a wonderful job as the socially awkward Richards. The character I have always felt badly for is Ben Grimm. The rest of the characters can pretend to be human but Ben no longer looks human. I always found it so sad. Anyway this movie is great and deserves more love in a world over saturated with superhero movies.
