Okay, let's say you have a favorite TV show or maybe a movie you really want to get made or what have you that you thought Van and/or Jake would be a perfect fit for. What would it be? Here are a couple of my picks: Friday Night Lights: Not sure if there are many fans of this show on the board, but it is absolutely one of the best written and acted dramas on television. In the past three years, they've dealt with issues such as racism, social classes, sexism, teen sex, and any and all issues to do with families and small towns. One thing they haven't done is a gay storyline. I would love to see Van playing a young, new teacher at Dillon High who is very well respected and liked by the students. Then everyone finds out that this young man is gay. I think that the ensuing discrimination/school politics that would follow would be so well done. The acting on the show relys on a lot of subtlties and heart-felt emotions and I think Van would really shine. And on a purley shallow note: True Blood: Van could play a vamp and Jake could be his fang-banger. |

Supernatural: They can be the gay hunters partnering it up with Sam and Dean. IN FACT, someone's already writing a story like that on livejournal. ![]() http://willwork4dean.livejournal.com/

In no particular order: Supernatural Dexter (I would probably lose both ovaries from the asplodey that would happen if they ever worked with MCH) True Blood Gossip Girl in a Chuck Bass preferably in an elevator (I know Jake has already been on this show, but it was almost a blink and you'll miss it and it doesn't count in my book for the purpose of this exercise)Mythbusters (who doesn't want to watch what you know would be orgasmic levels of adorkable-ness when these two get to blow shit up?) |

Great thread..and I had to think about this for awhile, but, here goes- "Interview With The Vampire" Van would make a terrific Lestat, while Jake would be perfect as the tortured, soulful Louis. "Master and Commander" The ultimate bromance of the seven seas...(with a great gay subtext) Van as Captain Jack Aubrey, and Jake as the quirky Dr. Stephen Maturin. Sigh. And honestly, Jake and Van would be wonderful in a gay romcom, of which there is not enough. I can picture it now: two guys who have known each other since high school, now rooming together in New York, in a ridiculously cool loft apartment neither of them could possibly afford. Van's a copy writer for an ad agency, Noah shoots commercials and they are miserable in their love lives-Van thinks he doesn't want to settle down and is sleeping with half of Manhattan, while Jake's character is still mooning over the jerk that dumped him in college. Of course, they are perfect for each other, and of course, they don't realize it until late in the movie. (Extra points for sleeping with each other when drunk, and it's the best sex ever, and of course they both freak out.) Quirky friends galore, including Alan Cumming, Janene Garafolo and *sigh* Joan Cusak, all who conspire to get them together. (And if anyone wants to turn this into a Nuke AU fic, be my guest-just tell me, 'cuz I wanna read it.) And ZOMG: Mythbusters (who doesn't want to watch what you know would be orgasmic levels of adorkable-ness when these two get to blow shit up? I wanna see this SO bad! Since Jake would be really serious about it and Van would be goofing around and they would be bickering like crazy and we would all die from the yes, orgasmic adorkableness. |
