"Yes, Scott, of course it's yours, why do you even ask?... No, baby, these teats are full of the best silicone money can buy, not milk."

Summary: All Kara wants to know is how her cousin could stand against a great man like General Zod.

( And despite all that, when it was closing time at the Daily Planet, he tuned an ear or focused his vision on Lois. Didn’t matter where he was. Clark tried to tell himself he was just watching out for her – what if her car had a blow-out or something? She had a kid now – but even when she was home, safe and sound, he found himself lingering nearby, resisting the urge to pry into her life. He didn’t know what he was doing there. What he was looking for. Richard to beat her up, so he could swoop in and save the day? To overhear her saying “Kal-El, take me away!” Would he, even if she asked? )

( Spoilers. )

A discussion of Grant Morrison's New X-Men gets out of hand

seriousfic(6:01:44 PM): God forbid a plot about seduction feature anyone looking seductive.
aimeeish (6:01:54 PM): I think the only art I liked from that run - Leinil Yu (New X-Men Annual) and Marc Silvestri (Here Comes Tomorrow). And Marc Silvestri drew the FIRST EVAR non-telepathic Emma/Scott kiss.
aimeeish (6:02:27 PM): and it was over jean's grave and that just makes it double awesome.
seriousfic(6:02:48 PM): I am so totally thinking of a fic where Emma has an anniversary picnic with Scott on Jean's grave.
aimeeish (6:02:56 PM): LAWL.
aimeeish (6:03:00 PM): Would it be serious?
seriousfic(6:03:08 PM): It would be Emma.
aimeeish (6:03:12 PM): Heeee
seriousfic(6:03:30 PM): "Look, now you can celebrate our anniversary and Jean's anniversary at the same time!"
seriousfic(6:03:37 PM): "I brought flowers... and wine."

Rereading the Emma Frost series of old, I'm getting more and more tempted to do a fic where Emma switches minds with herself as a teenager. After wrecking appropriate havoc, modern-day Emma heads to New York to mess with the First Class X-Men...

So apparently it's Emma Frost week here at seriousfic...

I, personally, blame the new icon. GAZE UPON IT, YE MORTALS, AND TREMBLE!

But anyway, you know who'd make a truly EPIC Emma Frost? No, not Ali Larter. Not even Tricia Heifer. No...

Tilda Swinton.


Emma Frost always hated when she had the senior prom nightmare.

Yes, she's at least ten years too old for the comicverse character, but as headmistress/White Queen she'll have to hold her own against Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan, while still being hot enough to be a love interest to Jean Grey Scott Summers (sorry, Sigourney Weaver). All that gravitas and authority is going to come from her a lot easier than it will from Blake Lively or whoever. Plus, she'll probably be reading from a script from Zak Penn, so she'll need that ice-cold British accent so her lines can at least sound good. And let's be honest, ladies, don't you wish you'll be that fit when you're forty-eight?

In fact, don't you wish you were that fit now? Yeah, that's what I thought.

Chronicles of Narnia, Michael Clayon, Constantine, Burn After Reading: Practice. It's basically the role she was born to play. And, hey, who doesn't like it when an older woman gets to play a sex goddess character in a Hollywood blockbuster?

Best of all, her character's appearing in Wolverine, which is a prequel. So you can just say that character (who is hopefully villainous) grew up into Emma Frost, X-Men headmistress and technically a good guy. How's that for a slice of fried gold?

ETA: Although if there were a flashback to Emma in her Hellfire Club days and it was Ali Larter... how cool would that be?
