mine's a tale that can't be told.

Got tagged by sailtonorway for the top 7 OTPs meme. And um, I'm moved into my new dorm by myself and really bored here all week, so I took my time with it. LOL.

( 7. Jack Sparrow / Elizabeth Swann )

( 6. The Joker / Harley Quinn )

( 5. James Potter / Lily Evans )

( 4. Brian Kinney / Justin Taylor )

( 3. Jacob Black / Bella Swan )

( 2. Jack Twist / Ennis Del Mar )

( 1. . . . . . . Who is it??? )

I've had just a few PotC things bookmarked a while, so I think it's time to finally take care of these...

Jack by _odella_

"You Want To Know Me" (Tia Dalma) + "5 out of 9" (Jack/Will/Elizabeth) + "Falling In Love With the Dark" (Will/Elizabeth) + "Drink Up Me 'Earties" (Will/Elizabeth) + "Go Home, Girl" (Jack with Elizabeth as a child) by Umetnica

Tia Dalma by Eiko-chan

"Norrington In the Middle" (Norrington, Will, and Jack) by GuardianSpirit
Hahaha. How I hated being the monkey in the middle when I played this game when I was little. I was so bad at it...LOL.

"It Is a Glorious Thing" (Elizabeth portrait) by pseudoblu

"Shouldn't Have Done That..." (Jack/Elizabeth) by Shmivv

In one part of their audio commentary on the DVD of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, screenwriters Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio joke, "There seems to be some foreshadowing here with Jack first appearing in the movie inside a coffin. But of course, we know there are no literary devices in these summer movies. Come on."

Haha. Right. Of course not.

And yet, crazily enough, it is in the PotC fandom that I have found myself, for the first time, so much more interested in the meta, the interpretation and analysis parts of fan posts and discussions, than actual artwork or fic. OMG. No way. It's madness. These are just Disney movies, for God sake. And yet people with some damn brilliant minds like dollsome make observations about lines with possible double meanings, symbols, and significant connections in them that make the English major in me salivate.

This analysis of At World's End explains how even though the movie had a typical, obligatory Disney ending as far as the romance aspect was concerned and the love triangle seemed to be totally done away with, if you read between the lines, the real love story of Pirates of the Caribbean is between Jack and Elizabeth. And no, this is not delusional justification like that of Sirius/Remus shippers who absolutely refuse to listen to anyone tell them there is not substantial evidence of the relationship in canon. Some of the speculations in it I do personally think are a little far-fetched, and I certainly do not agree with every bit of it. But even so, there are many points made in it that absolutely blew my mind and made me immediately want to see the movie again to look at it through a different lens.

"Why At World's End is One Big Jack/Elizabeth Fest"
by dollsome

Title: The Last Liberty
Author: Sara (paintedponyxox@flowrs4ophelia)
Characters/Pairings: Jack/Elizabeth, Will/Elizabeth
Rating: PG
Summary: Sometimes she dreams of the night she spent left on that island with Jack and nobody else around.
Notes: I am a Jack/Elizabeth guilty-pleasure shipper but don't dislike Will/Elizabeth, and this fic is sort of a reflection on the way I was sure the story was going to end for Elizabeth that, I think, still gives Jack's role in her life its deserved importance. I think more hardcore J/E shippers might find it to be a little saddening, but...it's just impossible for me to tell prior to being flamed or whatever. Anyway, bring it on.

( And really bad eggs... )

Doesn't really have anything to do with Christmas, so not out of season. Totally random hilariousness.

Hermione by vivier

2 Snape/OFC by sigune
I like how this original character isn't a steaming hot babe that Snape wouldn't realistically be able to be with.

Harry/Ginny Kiss by click_megalo
Ginny's Quidditch gear looks cute on her :)

6 Severus/Remus drawings for prompts [4th one is NWS] by morbid_lizard

Their expressions look great, and their sock feet are adorable.

"A Path I Hesitate To Take..." (Harry) by strawberry_acid
Ooooo very mysterious.

And I think this is officially the most Remuses I've ever had in one rec post. But he is too cute.
