It has come to my attention that I haven't done much in the way of fangirling for awhile now, and this is sort of disappointing from someone who consumes a lots of entertainment. So, I have decided to make up for the lack of excited fangirling with a pimp post for As the World Turns, an American soap opera that has been going for approx 50 years or so. More specifically I'm pimpin' the Luke & Noah storyline, whose love story is like watching a BoyLove manga series.

Luke and Noah's story is a simple story of boy meets boy and falling in love - except this is soap opera, and nothing happens without massive amount of angst and trauma. Luke is openly gay, Noah is so in denial that the closet doesn't even exist for him, to make matters worse Noah dates one of Luke's close friend. There is flirtation (wet, semi-naked flirtation), a kiss that Noah vehemently denies, jealousy, and Noah's psycho homophobic father whom is all about getting rid of Luke because he's obviously turning Noah gay. And I'm not even going to go into the hospital stay and the physical therapy. So, it is like BL manga with real people.

Furthermore, Luke and Noah are just stupidly cute.

The Short Pictorial Guide

//
Luke Snyder - openly gay, had some issues in the past; kidnappings, kidney transplants, and a destructive streak for a year or so. However, he is unbelievably nice, brave and just all sorts of squee inducing.


Noah Mayer - All around nice guy, horribly confused, but with a murderous, controlling father it really isn't that big of a surprise.


The KISS.

The whole Luke & Noah storyline on youtube.

Some wiki entries to assist with the visual information. All about Luke, and all about Luke and Noah.

And that's my fannish contribution for the, oh next year or so.
