::Shudder::
Well, on the computer side of things, there is asongby Kate Bush, entitled “Deeper Understanding”, about a woman who is becoming emotionaly involved with the Artifical conversation module on her computer.
From the Legion of Super-Heroes, original version:
Bouncing Boy (earth human) and Duo Damsel (Cargggite humanoid, powers inherent amongst her planet’s natives)
Colossal Boy (earth human) and Yera (Durlan)
Janice Warren (earth human) and Chameleon Boy (Durlan)
Wildfire (earth human, turned to energy) and Dawnstar (winged human from Starhaven)
Karate Kid (earth human) and Princess/Queen Projectra (Orando humanoid, from race that typically does not have powers)
From L.E.G.I.O.N., Captain Comet (Earth human with powers) and Marijn Bek (Cairnian humanoid, no powers)
Danmit! Now it looks like I was shuddering at Phil Foglio. No, that shudder was for the post before last. Post 39. I was long as I am here, why not include fanfiction? I have just stumbled across a page of Uber-Xena fiction. Fiction that concerns the pairing of Xena and Gabriell in other settings. Mostly through reincarnation, but sometimes with the same girls, just in modern day , thanks to immortality potions. No, wait it doesn’t just take place in modern day.
ANYway, I have stumbled into a piece of amusing little fiction concerning the romance between two computers. Since it is really about reincarnated human beings, and I am the OP, I see no problem with posting a link. Besides, it’s sweet.“I Have Many Help Files”
There’s some human/nonhuman attraction in the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip Dick. It is carried over in the movie Blade Runner, which is loosely based on the novel.
In C. J. Cherryh’s Foreigner series, Bren Cameron carries on a physical relationship with one of his atevi bodyguards, Jago.
I can’t remember how it pays out in the anime but in the manga, it’s implied that Vash and Knives are a kinda human/plant (the plants that power the spaceships and cities which may or may not be actual vegetation) hybrid. The Japanese text uses the English word “plant” but doesn’t make it real clear what is meant by that.
If you wanna use Family Guy, there was that episode where Brian fell in love with the old lady. And brought her a virtual reality kit on her deathbed to show here what their life together would be life, even going so far as to show puppies and babies. ( :rolleyes: he’s dog, she’s geriatric) which I guess implies virtual sex too. (I thought that episode was horribly maudlin.)
Hmmmmm, thinking about old Trek, it does seem really odd that Kirk could go off and have all sorts of affairs with alien women but it was a big a deal when he kissed a black woman. Green alien women are more acceptable love interests than dark humans. Wow, that’s kinda messed up…
That’s exactly the storyline I came in to mention.
For the uninitiated, Swamp Thing’s girlfriend Abby was caught making out with him by a photographer. She was arrested for having relations with something not human. She escaped and made her way to Gotham where she is caught again.
Swamp Thing attacks, bring Gotham to a stand still.
Trion’s quote comes from a speech Batman makes about all the other things not human on Earth (DC comics version)
I’d have to take issue with this one. Carggg was colonized by Earthlings by Valor (as were many of the worlds that Legionaires come from). She’s human. Some of your other examples might be the same, but I have no evidence of it.
Other DC comic related ones are
Raven - daughter of a human and a dealer
Laurel Gand (a daxamite) and Rond Vidar (not sure, but he looks human but his father was a pointy eared alien) had a baby.
Lobo was the last of his species, but he was known to have hundreds of kids the mothers of which were from many different races. (“That’s what happens when your mother’s a Durlan and your father’s a bastard” - Timer Wolf mini-series)
Amythist - daughter of a human and a Lord of Order (albeit in a human’s body)
Make that human and DEMON
Odinoneeye:
I won’t deny that some of my Legion-related listings are a bit iffy. That’s why I detailed the pedigree of each of them…let the reader decide if they fit.
No, he just wanted to make her mom think he was a big deal. ::snickers::
I was amazed when they mentioned it on the Teen Titans cartoon. Sure, so it wasn’t verbalized, but you knew what it was about.
I see…
The anime implies the same thing. I just didn’t figure there was any romance involved in that situation, y’know?
Well, if you ignore the obvious Wolfwood/Vash implication, I guess there really isn’t any.
Anytime you put two handsome men together in a work of fiction, that must mean they are romantically involved.
Well, duh. 
(OK, I usually refrain from spreading the slashy goodness on this board but I just couldn’t resist…)
Argh!
I am being buried in smiles! Well, to all the people here wondering why I am talking about slash, well,
-
It can be tiriring to see story after story where it is simply assumed that the main guy and main girl will get together.
-
When they are always posing together in posters from the series, you tend not to view them as publicity shots, but as snapshots from their lives
-
Sometimes it seems like the main female would get along better with the other main female.
It’s really not surprising that there are so many alien-human hookups, since Earth Girls Are Easy. It doesn’t even seem to matter that they’re a different Species.
Duuude, I know why you were shuddering.
What made it worse was that earlier in the story the main character and his alien friend/mentor had been around another human incubator who couldn’t get to a suitable secondary host (IIRC it was supposed to be a sheep) when the larvae started getting really active, and the human host died.
Parasitology is never a pretty subject. Add romance and you’ve got a story that suitable to really warp young minds.
And then of course there’s American Pie, with the encounter between Jim and… well… the pie.
Although I guess technically it wasn’t really a “romance”.
In Babylon 5, G’Kar, the Narn embassador, has a thing for human women (at least for one-night stands; a long-term relationship is never implied), but all of the other Narns who know about this consider it a rather distasteful predilliction. There’s one episode where someone goes to meet with him, and Na’Toth, his assistant, tells the visitor that G’Kar is indisposed. Just then, three human prostitutes walk out of his quarters, followed by G’Kar in a loose robe, and she adds “I believe he can see you now”, with a really disgusted look on her face.
Great commentary on the meme of aliens always wanting our women, if you ask me.
